Caroline's decorating mistakes are still a hell of a lot more elegant & put together than any design errors most people would commit.
100%
You’re too generous, and I am totally okay with that ❤
Yea so I just finished the trim painting montage and I had to pause it to say I don't hate this at all. I mean, I am far from an expert, but this is like an A for a rental bathroom.
I think with more warm gold-toned lighting/candles it might have seemed less cold. Maybe also a warmer/darker paint colour than the white. But she's the one who has to live with it!
💯 ❤ her style of decor
This video contains everything I love about this channel:
1. DIY room makeover
2. DIY gone wrong
3. Complete honesty re: it going wrong
4. Mental breakdown
5. The cutting of bangs
6. Ultimate triumph. Or plans of ultimate triumph.
Mental breakdown is always at the center. The rest is just the vehicle to get us there 😂
#5 (bang cutting) is my fav! Been there..
It really is the full package
@@Caroline_Winkler You're amazing and hilarious!!! You have the best videos! We love you girl!!! ☺️💖🎉 26:58
There was a bathroom trash can I fell in love with back in 2005. It was perfect for my 1940s black and white and yellow tiled bathroom. I DIDN’T buy it. Ugghhhh. I still think about it. It’s been 18 years. 😅🤭
Haha, that's happened to me too. Have you tried googling it, it may be out there somewhere. :)
Nothing haunts you like the things you didn’t buy 💀
The fact that 2005 was 18 years ago is not something that I was prepared to think about today 😮
You need to let that go.
~In the end,
we only regret the chances
we didn't take~
So usually I would not say anything about it because it really isn’t the point of this video.. but as a digital artist.. I thought I should maybe put this information out here in case someone doesn’t know about this. These Art AIs use datasets that include all images- which means they include images made by all other artists too, current living artists who didn’t consent for their works to be used in training an AI. Without the work of these artists, the AI would be not be as good because public domain images are not a large enough data set on their own. With their work in there, it’s good enough to potentially threaten commercial art jobs. You could even use a particular artist’s name and generate work in the style of a contemporary working artist too. Although artists are not a monolith and AI itself is a very exciting piece of tech.. i do feel comfortable saying that the majority sentiment around this is that these AI, in their current form, are unethical. As Chat GPT, mid journey etc become more popular.. I’d say it’s at least good to know what’s at stake.
I was hoping someone had commented this - I loved the video, especially as someone currently planning their own bathroom makeover 🥺 but it's worth reading on the ethics of AI art. Better off saving up to commission + support your artist friends!
“I have a rude feeling inside me.” 😂❤
😂
Yeah, me on the daily! Lol!
😂
She cracks me up!
Love the way you lay out the story. It's like a mini movie for me with humour, warmth, depth and layers. I always feel uplifted when they end. Never bored always gripped AND you always chuck in a life tip. We Love you girl xxx Much love from the UK
Can’t tell u how much I love this feedback! I’m definitely trying to think differently about storytelling in videos…although this one became a mess bc the project went so differently than I’d hoped 😅 can’t force the story to be what you expected
100%!! I don’t have time to just watch someone’s decorating regrets, lol, but Caroline, you are a master story teller which is why we all watch with rapt attention. And obviously the editing is perfection. 😘
@@rhondachapman7136 yup
@@rhondachapman7136 totally agree 🥰
Thank you for sharing your mistakes!!! Designers make mistakes (I'm including myself in this) and normalizing this is so important!! Moving on from these hiccups is how you learn and obviously you learned to listen to yourself and not ignore rules that you've already set up for yourself. Excited for part 2!!!
Ugh, appreciate this! Thought about cutting it all out of the edit, but this is the true process! Hoped it was worth sharing because it was real 🤷♀️ doesn’t mean u can’t keep moving forward and try to learn from it. I’m always still learning
So glad you left it in, Caroline! I agree that even your "mistakes" are instructive and inspiring. Besides, I (sure I'm not alone here!) tune in to watch your process, whatever that looks like. I'm 56, relate to you more than you could imagine, and am enthralled with your blog and UA-cam channel.
@@Caroline_Winkler Pro tip for the trim: Paint it *before* installing. Much easier.
@@Caroline_Winkler I think without mistakes, we dont grow. If everything always works perfectly, we dont expand the bigger part of who we are. Plus, I actually like it! It is a gazillion times better than it was. It's cute as can be now. Cant wait to see it even better when it's totally you.
I like it! My only thing with it is that you didn’t match the pattern. My eye is drawn to every seam. But! The tiles!! I didn’t know you can buy vinyl or whatever that is to change the color of floor tiles. LOVE that!! And I must agree, your talent for cutting around corners and hardware is Amazing!!
Girl just this week I was organizing my bathroom in my new place and I heard your voice in my head saying "Use a tray! Corral! Corral!!"
genuinely honored to be a screaming voice in your head. these voices are some of my best friends
Me too! Consistently hear Caroline in my head yelling at me to corral my crap !
You are great! I just don't know how you found a landlord who lets you pant and put up wallpaper.
I LOOOOOVVVEEEEE that you posted a video of something that you weren’t liking and decided to redo because you never see that on social media! We have lived in our current 1930s cottage style home for two years now and we’ve repainted every room twice and about to repaint the dining room for the third time because we just haven’t gotten it right yet. Thank you for letting everyone know that designing a room is hard and may take a few tries before it feels right! Otherwise the rest of us feel like failures not knowing that people who do interior design for a living may also have to do a project over. Thank you for always being real and authentic with us, it’s the best part of you!!!! Well along with your incredibly clever humor ☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️
Oh I have been there done that. I had my entire exterior house painted and then hated it. I had panic attacks. It was awful. And I couldn’t afford to redo it. But then…the sun came to the rescue (live in AZ). About a year later the color I hated faded to a color I could live with. And I lived with it for about ten years. Recently I painted my house a more neutral color palette, with a crazy cool hot pink/orangey/red door that everyone loves. Lesson: When painting your exterior house, save crazy for things you can easily change, like your door. 😂 I admire your honesty and your gumption in redoing your space (that is the GREAT thing about a small bathroom…it is good for experiments). Blessings dear Caroline! Thanks for being awesome.
Love love this takeaway. Always learning!! Onward 🫡🥺❤️
This happened when my parents first painted the house they built. They did a test patch, but in a shady area, so the nice pastel yellow they picked turned out to be super neon bright in the sunlight. They hated it, plus neighbors complained, but they were super broke after finishing the house and couldn't afford to repaint. It faded to pastel after about 3 years and stayed that way for another 15.
Love the idea of a bright pink door on a house!
I love that you started with gratitude. It's just too easy to completely gut a space and start over. A REAL decorator isn't afraid of the challenge!
I think the reason this wallpaper doesn't work is because the tile in the shower is warm toned. If the shower tile were a cooler tone white I think it would go better.
I personally do not like sticker tiles (same with plastic "marble" stick on paper for countertops...).
i think this is totally part of it!! and i didnt think of it before 😩
It is to cool to go with the tile! It needed more brown.
Yesss this was my thought!! That shower is so warm toned, that unfortunately I think the color choices would need to use that as a foundational starting point as something to work around because it isn’t changing.
Nailed it. Because of that sliding glass door, that shower tile is a serious factor. Can't wait to see how you transform it into something you believe in ❤
This is a really impactful transformation and I love the wallpaper. The cassic William Morris pattern exudes a lot elegance and transforms a small plain rental bathroom to a chic boutique hotel like powder room. To make the space feel warmer, I would have stained the trim the same colour of the trash bin, fixed wooden trims over the tiles showing from the shower also stained same as trash bin, paint the mirror frame to create faux dark wood visual effect or brass effect, and either hang velvety drapes over one side of the shower in a warm dark golden shade or paint the white walls in a warm toned colour a or two shade darker than the buds in the walllpaper with golden undertones. Good job! Looking forward to Part II!
That sounds lovely!
Loved everything until you mentioned the drapes 🤔 I couldn’t visualize it…
Caroline is just so much fun, she expresses all of my inner feelings 😅
It's annoying for SURE but there's a certain satisfaction and joy that comes from redoing something we previously did and now hate. Part of the journey!
Always learninggggg ❤
I shall return tomorrow evening, just,in case.
Put the milkmaid on the back of a hall door.
I love those tiles, but can't find out the suppliers name.😊
I should have said I'm in Scotland . That stuff you did re putting wallpaper around small obstacles reminded me of my Dad, he used a small razor blade to cut around. Thanks for evoking that good memory Caroline.
Caroline, every time I watch your videos, I feel like I'm on the brink of making the very unwise decision of cutting my bangs. Excellent design tips aside, your bangs always look fabulous on you! 💕
Hahahah I’ve been paying the price of this last bangs cut for about 6 weeks, one of my worst. So idk
omg ME TOOOOOO lollll I'm seriously considering it, she just looks so darn cute in them.
No hate but just posting about this since no one mentioned it. AI generated art is still art pulled from someone else's work that has been put online. AI doesn't make up art out of nothing, it is slightly based off of other work and the artists aren't credited for it or paid for it. So I highly suggest real local artists for commissions where possible💕
Find people in your life that when you say “I made art of milk maids d-j-ing” they say “ooo lemme see”, instead of “umm you did what???!”
I appreciate you and your quirks so much ❤ Cant wait to see your photo series. I love how your brain not only came up with that combo but then you went so far to make it into art, and get it printed to hang up!
hhahahahah so good
just weirdness that is bragged about
I just wanted to say that you are very brave to keep your jewelery the bathroom-I know it makes sense if you are removing it to shower, but I would 100% flush it. Lol.
oh ill flush it
Guuurrlll!!!!! I applaud your honesty, thanks for ALWAYS keeping it real! I think most people in your position would have scrapped the entire first video and just pretended they nailed it without any hesitation. Experimenting and figuring out what doesn't work is just as important as knowing what you like... applicable with interior design and so many other things. ❤️
Caroline has posted a new video. I am having a lovely breakfast. It's the beginning of my week off from work where I'll be tackling some DIY projects of my own. Life is good 😊
"Max titillation" is another phrase i will now have in my vocabulary. Along with "I shant be" which use almost every day.
Slowly building out my butchered version of English
I was screaming laughter when you showed the milkmaids dj'ing and I needed that. I love it so much
There’s literally hundreds more I didn’t print 😅
Who hasn't made design mistakes? 80% of the time I lay out clothes the night before , I wake up , look at it and say " that's not gonna work"
Who hasn't paired sage green with maroon and tried to convince themselves " bold color choice" vs " uuuugh..."?
MOST RELATABLE video yet !
Appreciate ❤
I haven’t.
@@brendasnow8255 then you are either among the very young and inexperienced or blindly blessed with good luck. Enjoy it !
But, but, but, the wallpaper is so gorgeous I was drooling!
Same. I think if the warm- toned shower had been made white or sage it would have worked. And I would have used sage green instead of read, although I actually liked the red as well. But good on Caroline for realising it wasn't "HER" and for sharing it with us.
Love the wallpaper!
Thank you for putting the lid down! You're the best. It drives me nuts when people photograph bathrooms with toilet lids up. Real Estate Agents do it too! 😂
I would fall in the toilet that has the lid up, struggle to get up, and knock down the shelf of crap above the toilet. Bathrooms are places for comedy and tragedy both.
I know a interior designer who accidently fell in a shower while measuring her clients shower and had to pull herself up by the grab by the faucet to save herself from embarrassing her self
I love that you started with gratitude then spiraled then got it together because that is keeping it real. I personally find your tips are spot on. Thank you 💕
hahah "then spiraled". yep
I loved the wallpaper and red trim! Not the red mirror but the red trim really made the wallpaper stand out.
Yeah the mirror was annoying me so much ??? Idk. I’m calling this whole thing a wash 😂
@@Caroline_Winkler Yes, the mirror was especially off.
I think what I like about your taste is that you find things that are mainstream tasteful and cool, plus vintage/thrifted/diy so it feels really smart, plus you always find things that have some element of surprise (which I think is a lot like your fantastic sense of humor, btw. Cool and smart with a surprise). Octogonal trash cans, framed stoic faces watching you sleep, lamps-turned-art, deejaying milkmaids.
I think with the curved porcelin and the curved chrome and the frosted shower glass everything was already soft and rounded, so the large scale soft sage wallpaper stepped even more in that direction and, I agree, doesn't really work, it's just too predictable. I think the checker tile broke the curves, which was nice. The trash can is beautiful on its own. The trim was surprising, I did like that, but the matching mirror is rough.
You would know more than me, obviously, but maybe the mirror could be black? I know it's a rental, but I think it would be so pretty as stained wood (especially with the bespoke trashcan).
exactly my thoughts!
I’m watching from a hospital bed while I battle a chronic illness and I must say, even your video makeovers featuring mistakes and fails, still put a smile on my face. So thank you for sharing your imperfections and being so raw. I look forward to watching and laughing from more of your future videos during the short periods when my pain subsides. Keep it coming ❤️
Feel better soon:)))
Years ago I did wallpapering for a business and in most homes the people did not have the tools to take down towel and did what you did. Your still professional.
god i love seeing this in writing. LOOK WORLD 😅
use an eyeglass screwdriver. those kits are $1
Bad night sleep, bad morning. Turn on UA-cam & Caroline is on and about to do a small bathroom redo!!! Smile from ear to ear....like a breath of fresh air and sunshine!!! Thank you my friend...you always turn my frown upside down❤❤❤
That trashcan looks great and i would love to have it in the office but i can't imagine having an open one in the bathroom so you surprised me there 😅
Samee.
Amen! It’s very pretty, but bathroom trash is decidedly not pretty. And it’s usually gross so I always line it with a bag, which would destroy the looks of the pretty wood one.
last month i painted half of my bedroom a color i hated and i sooooo totally know that sinking despair feeling when you're trying to convince yourself that it's good lmaooooo. It took me like 12 more paint samples to find my perfect color but i adore it now and I'm so glad i decided to stop and reassess. I love that you're normalizing trial and error and showing your creative process!!
its the cost that sickens me
Caroline, I really appreciated how you didn’t draw out the surprise element of the video. It wasn’t clickbate or you teasing for 5 minutes straight. Much appreciated!!
Hey, brazilian gal here. Found your videos when I was looking for some inspiration decor for my apartment. Five videos later, you're my favorite foreigner youtuber, or as we say it, my favorite "youtuber gringa". Love the way you put the storyline of yout videos, I don't know if someone already point it out for you, but you kinda remember me Fleabag. Absolute love!
The milkmaid art is fantabulous!!!
I really LOVE it when you talk about your bangs. It is uplifting seeing a beautiful woman being so REAL. Fun fact: I once tried trimming my bangs. I am not beautiful. I can’t see a damn thing without my glasses, but they were in the way of my bangs so I took them off. So I lined the scissors up to the absolute perfect angle, them promptly cut off half my eye brow. Good times.
this is hilarious and when i first read it i thought you were saying you "loved" it sarcastically. but the fact that this is genuine makes me so happy haha
The way you take us through your design process is so so real. I’ve been doing this my whole life, since I was a kid! I drove my parents crazy decorating, designing, changing things… And I still do it, and it’s still my favorite thing, but the process is such an internal process. It’s so psychological and so emotional and it’s such a journey and you take us through your real journey with this little bathroom. This is what’s real. This is what design is about.
Your videos always make me smile and giggle like an idiot in the gym with strangers around me probably think I’m an crazy…but I’m totally here for it. I love what you did with the makeover except the red trim and painting the mirror. I feel like staining it all a dark brown to match the accent of your trash can would have tied it all together really well. But I’m sure your next version will be even better! Can’t wait to see it.
The trashcan is beautiful and very renter friendly so not a bad expenditure at all , you will probably love it till you die. My problem was that you cannot change the tile in the shower and that warm colour glows through the shower door which is essentially, the biggest wall space you have. It's easier to lean in to what you cannot change to avoid a sense of disconnect every time you walk into the room. I cannot wait to see part 2! Bathrooms with no windows are tricky. I painted mine yellow to fake happy sunshine and it was disgusting. It's been painted deep red for 18 years now😆
I love that you are showing us your mistakes (it still looks gorgeous to me) and your process, with such humor! Also, I felt so validated watching you put the floor tiles before the wallpaper because it made you feel good. Was I supposed to be working instead of being on UA-cam? Yes... But watching your video makes my day even better!
Caroline .. Maybe one suggestion that could help with the final result. It is still possible to use warmer light tone bulbs .. If you are using 6500K ones try to buy some LED 5300K one or even warmer light bulbs.. I really think that that small bathroom came out really amazing so I´m not sure what else to suggest (if you don´t plan to rip it off a put a new one in) :D Still thanks for the great video..
Love the video. Just a tip you didn't ask for. Perfumes Ideally should be stored in a cool dry dark place to keep them fresh. The bathroom is far from ideal for perfume storage due to the consistent change in temperature and moisture and bright light. It will deteriorate your expensive perfumes much faster.
Thank you for sharing this fail. I, too, have worked tirelessly to save things that I felt were not turning out well early on in the project and it has never worked! I think it is part of human nature to not want to redo work, there is just some part of us that mentally rebels against going backwards even though we absolutely know deep down that we are on the wrong path. We will tell ourselves anything to rationalize our actions and we’re not even aware of what we’re doing. I am so glad that you are redoing this bathroom and I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Appreciate you showing the reality of dome design which is that you don't always make decisions that you're happy with! Love it as always!
I actually love the wallpaper and not the trim color, but I understand what you're saying. I can't wait to see what you do to make it more your vision. I also love those beautiful trays that you organized your bits and bobs in.
Really appreciate you sharing the WHOLE process Caroline! Including the mistakes, highs, and lows is important and refreshing. Love your channel ❤❤❤
This video is why I love your channel and why I subscribed. You cutting around the towel bar is why I’ll continue to subscribe. 😂❤️💫
I’m not sure what to say Caroline, but I think it’s gorgeous and you really did a great job. Just wondering how much you can improve on it. But then again there are so many options. You go girl!!!!! Can’t wait for part 2!!!🙌🏻😍❤️
❤️❤️ you guys always lift me up no matter what. I live for this encouragement and love
Same. I love your honesty, real humanness, humor and fun. When it doesn't work out, (and life is SO like that, yeah?) break down and then figure it out. I truly love you and all you bring. Hugs, and looking forward to seeing part 2. ❤❤❤
Caroline, while I would never say I like watching you in pain, your acknowledgment that you hated the main design feature you selected came as a HUGE relief to me. Really - this makes me so happy.
There have been times when I spent precious dollars on a decor item, only to be hugely disappointed once it was in my home. “What’s wrong with me?” I’d berate myself, “Don’t you even understand what you like?” I’d call myself impulsive, irresponsible, a spendthrift...
And then I’d beat myself up some more over how I clearly don’t deserve to be happy with my decor because I can’t be trusted to choose nice things or to spend money wisely. I’d get mad at myself, and give up.
I see now that these “errors in imaginings” happen to the best of us. Sometimes we don’t know how we’ll feel about something before testing it out. Sometimes we love the way something looks in someone else’s space, and it doesn’t work in our own... whatever. There are a plethora of things that can go sideways in any creative endeavor.
I guess the moral of the story is that we’re all just trying our best, and life is a series of attempts and lessons and adjustments and refinements. I’m not to blame... it’s just something that happens.
So thank you for this valuable life lesson! I’ll bet you never realized how much your struggle would end up freeing someone of their angst!
I could never come at you for not removing the towel bar, damn those tiny Allen keys to the depths of hell. BUT, not matching up the wallpaper… girlllllll, I don’t even know who you are anymore 😂
Can’t wait for pt 2! ❤
I forgive you already.
Love your vids lately!!! Humorous short movies with amazing and uplifting content. Keep up the good work! Love from Germany🫶🏼
Love that this is how it feels ❤️❤️❤️
really appreciate you taking the time to show a design regret!! I have for some reason put a lot of pressure on myself to design my space and I therefore get easily overwhelmed by decision making. Seeing this video makes the process of making a bold decision (or any decision lol) a bit less daunting, knowing if you don't like it you can just...change it! 💛
I would love to see a whole apartment walk through with before and afters. ☺ Love your style. And I do like the wallpaper.
sooo refreshing to see a DIY that didn’t end as planned, bc this happens alllll the time IRL!!
Also, Caroline, have you considered a dark forest green accent wall in your living space (perhaps behind the couch)?? To match the Article table? I think it would give SO much depth to your space and pair so well with the blush curtains and the warm orange tones in your space.
I save ALL of my Allen wrenches I get from IKEA/Amazon furniture in one candy tin in my tool drawer.😅 I have a tiny bathroom in my condo with the same dull as dishwater hospital administration beige tile. I want to rip it all out and tile the ENTIRE tiny bathroom (floor and all walls) BLACK tile. I think it will give the small space a sultry, swanky look.
Your makeover videos are always intriguing, Caroline!😍🍀🌷🍀💚🍀🌷🍀😘
The new, bespoke waste basket--great choice!🤩
Btw, Elizabeth's new book arrived yesterday--I'm loving reading it!😁
Fabulous & fascinating!🥰
For the Sponsor-clip, you are the most gifted UA-camr I've listen to! Liked this one from A to Z and now go too the Part 2. ; ))
I was looking up simple refurb ideas and another one of your videos came up. I watched all the way through, laughed hysterically and followed up with this one. Of course, because this is part 1, I MUST watch part 2. I'm here to tell you girl, THAT'S IT, I will ONLY watch one more (says no one). Laughed at how you called out the people that criticize your methods. Way to lean into it!
As an artist, I endorse the message that you do not need skill or experience to make art. Art comes in many many forms and is for everybody :)
As an artist I hate the fact that AI was used to generate art for decorating 😢
@@carolschneider1404 yeah you know what I actually wrote this before the AI segment and forgot to edit/delete, because it's really nuanced and I agree that AI replacing artists is no bueno, that's my bad
Can't wait for part 2! ❤
I've been watching for awhile. I just want to say you've really been a source of inspiration to start back to the gym, to be bold in a yoga room makeover and basically to just get STARTED on stuff. Being brave and forgiving if I make a mistake, but proud I tried something.
Keep up the amazing, wholesome, authentic content.
Also you make D.C. look so charming!!! Ugh. The architecture there is to die for.
I use your videos as a weekend mental warm up to start of a project day on the right foot.
Also, VELVET HANGERS!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Love the realness of the video 🤍 It’s ok to not be ok with all of our decisions all the time. Can’t wait for part 2 and see what wallpaper you choose ( I have a feeling it’s going to be something bold, I don’t know why 🙈) Have a great weekend, Caroline! 🎧 (didn’t find a DJ emoji 😅)
I have seen so many times No green in the bathroom. Mine is also a very light sage and I Love it! So glad you bought the trash can!
I've never heard this, no green in the bathroom. What's the reasoning? I ask because I'm just about to paint a bathroom a very light sage green also.
I loved that wallpaper 😢
Don't be so hard on yourself, I personally loved the wall paper, and your trim edge color was daring. Change it if you must, but i love it. Now to the floor, I love the floor, but peel and stick seems like a later recipe for turned up edges in all the corners of traffic. and the grout lines are still apparent. and once you open the shower stall, the old tile hits you in the face. how to remedy that is a big question mark for me. But gotta hand it to you, your honest and that's what keeps me tuned in. Much love to you Caroline!!
Caroline, I so appreciate you being honest with your feelings about the result because it removes the false impressions people have about interior design. I think a lot of people hesitate to decorate out of fear of not getting it "right" in one go and that being talented at design means every project is mistake-free, when in reality it's a process and sometimes things don't go as planned.
The bathroom looks beautiful--IMO--and there were many good takeaways but I get what you mean about striving for maximum titillation in your space. You don't know unless you try. Looking forward to part 2!
ps: Milkmaids DJing in Vermeer style is content gold 😂
Love the unique vintage touch!...especially when its from grandmom :)
Love when you have a proper break down , especially in the bathroom.
It’s the safest place for sure. When I was going through coding school, I cried prostrate in every bathroom in dc
I think maybe finding a wallpaper that could tie in some the warm colors of the original tile might make it feel more cohesive. Like the pillows on your sofa that are orange. So find a wallpaper with a bit of orange and/or gold. It also might have been more of a challenge to show people what they can do with tile they are stuck with. I do really like the styling on top of the toilet. That looked great.
OMFG MORE DIY ARTS AND CRAFTS!!! I LOVE THAT! and never seen it either!!! That turned out so cute!! The color block toilet
Ah yes, the five stages of home decour: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance
Or hire a pro whose work you like and love it forever or hate it and blame them
I love joining your journeys! You can do it, rip that wallpaper down and do what makes you happy girl!
Omg, i love love love that wallpaper! It looks good with the warmth of the barrel and similar things to bring the coziness. Dont obsess so much over things. Breathe, its such a beautiful choice✨
Love the toilet paper roll on the towel bar. I once had a quilt of colors I loved. But the pattern drove me nuts. Every time I walked into my bedroom I felt visually attacked. Into the linen closet it went and finally, two years later it was donated. I love that wallpaper but I get it. The three armed milk maid was my favorite. Great idea! Great art but your way!! This is my favorite video to date.
You look beautiful in red! Its one of my favorite colors. Caroline, you have no idea how much this inspires me.
I think your right...
Sage green. Have a great weekend. 💜
The edit is so good! Also, been waiting for this makeover! 🤩
aw thank u!
21:01 Loving this "justifying the trash can" segment.😂
we need these milkmaid pictures!!
We're on a decorating journey and sometimes we need to take a detour. Very excited to see how it turns out 😊
I feel like your brother could have easily make that trash can for a 4th of price. I mean that honey jar stick thing was bomb!!
ikr?
haha this is probably true but i have already put him through months of labor making honey jars....😉🤫so i couldnt possibly dare ask
Thoroughly fun video! I like the process and editing of your videos as much as the end results, which in this case will give us a makeover sequel.
Didn't think I would like you at first, but after I saw the tile and wallpaper choices I realized I was very wrong...😂 And it's your video, don't worry about people getting upset about your process, they can simply scroll up! You did great, it's hard to argue with the results! ❤
the enjoyment of a retrospect meltdown is hilarious!! Made me laugh with you and maybe unpopular/ very untrained-eyed, I kinda linked the contrast cane it kinda pulled from the pop of color in the wallpaper.
This whole project dragged so much for me bc I wasn’t liking it…until I edited that montage of my failing. Silver lining of creative delight :)
Ok I'm halfway into the video and already ordered 3x8 of the floor tiles. Then I remembered that you teased having made a huge mistake .. better not be the tiles 😂
The best place & safest place to play with new things is on your own and you're doing it with full transparency! I just loved the transparency of this whole video. BOLD artist.
Lmao your inner monologue during the trim part was so funny, Caroline. So appreciate your transparency that sometimes we end up not liking our original ideas (Although i still liked it 😊) looking forward to part 2!
Curious if a full wall of the wallpaper and no trim and no maroon paint may have helped? Looking forward to Part 2 that you will love! The images are crazy fun! 🥰
Good Morning… beautiful to see you on this gorgeous day.
I would have done a solid color instead of the wall paper, like sage even. And then added a fabric print skirt around the sink to cover and give some hidden storage.
I also would have removed the floating glass shelves and added a cabinet to HIDE everything 😊😊
You did a great job thanks for sharing!
I think if you had started with black and white floor tiles that it would've balanced out the wallpaper. You could've added black trim and even painted the mirror black to make it look luxe. My issue was that purple paint on the trim. It didn't look great at all. I'm excited to see the changes though. As long as you're happy that's all that matters.
I think the win of this whole enterprise thus far is hands down the milkmaid’s DJ’ing in the style of Vermeer. I mean …. I don’t know what part of your brain came up with this but am I ever thrilled - THRILLED - that it did. Most excellent. Maybe not for you, but for me, I’m so glad this whole unsuccessful segment happened because it brought these genius pieces of art into existence.
Perfect timing, i need to do something with my very basic bathroom
Great video. Love the tips and how you’re honoring your style needs and wants. Thank you for sharing!
For me it was more the tiles..
I.d.k.
I liked the wallpaper better.
Esp. with the accessoires etc.
I think a warm toned floor would havebeen pretty and taken the coldness off the room nicely.
Some wood-ish brown colour like the (beautiful, btw.!) trashcan or even more leaning towards red, like the cool trim.
Fun video!
I'm excited to see part 2!!
❤
Ur the best Caroline the love always shines through the videos
I HAVE PATIENCE FOR NOTHING
^^ alternative title option for each of my videos
@@Caroline_Winkler😂😂😂😂 loved the wallpaper itself but the red is looking divine as well
I think the wallpaper looks beautiful! For me, it was the trim that seemed off. 🤔 Not that I can tell you what to do instead 😆
For me, it's the mirror😮
The trim color seemed off to me or maybe there just wasn’t enough of it - paint the back of the door too🤷♀️
@@micheleb.7573 noooo
The wallpaper might be off preference but the trim is pure evil. White or natural wood are the most ideal trim finishes imo.
Maybe a very dark chocolate eggplant 🍆 color on the trim w/ anything but white walls. Thus would accentuate the lovely wooden basket.
That whole trim situation was so bad 😭😭 but we've all made decisions and been total delulu about how we actually feel about what is happening applauds to keeping it n showing the whole process
I love the wallpaper but when you added trim was not expecting it to look good but it does, everything about your videos is original, fun and addictive, so glad you ditched the acting, YT and we are the luckier for it 😉
