Girlie I found you a month or so ago and I've been on a BINGE. Please take us thrifting again 😢. The taste? Immaculate. The quality? Perfection. The humor? 1000/10. 😂❤

Love an interruption from the editor moment 😂. Paige, you're killing it. These videos have such a fun editing style. It matches Caroline's personality so well.

Caroline: "Every room needs something black."
Me, looking at my black cat: "Thank you for making this room stylish, darling."

[kimberlycrespo]

How do you keep in creating such specific but yet universally needed content? You have been ON A ROLL lately and o genuinely can’t wait for each one because I truly learn something useful every time. So just thanks!!

[stephanieplans]

Personal opinion: these sorts of videos, where you squirrel into a common problem and present the conceptual and decisional issues, link the macro to the micro of the problem and possible solutions, analyse the flow and troubleshoot the user experience, is where you REALLY standout. The other video I froth that fits this bill is home organisation from an interior design perspective. Your experience in different fields and how you combine them to create magical transdisciplinary contributions is so unique in a sea of similar takes. It so appeals to my own way of thinking and approaching issues so I just love love love it. Obviously not every video can be on this level because there’s clearly a lot of intellectual thought that goes on behind them, that’d be like expecting an academic researcher to submit an original journal article for publication every week, but I gobble up these gems when they land. Thanks for giving me things to chew on and new ways of thinking about things I’d long given up thinking new ways about!

I can see why Paige is your editor, she totally matches/compliments your energy. Love that.

[jaimeerindy]

omg that rug discussion just changed my life

[kendranerdgirl]

The "Revival Rugs" pop-ups are killing me 😂

[shayram]

Lost everything from the recent hurricanes and we're trying to rebuild. Your video came at the perfect time ❤️

[cakedupkevin]

As a straight male follower, you've been a Godsend for me when it comes to designing my space. Also a fellow DMV resident! Keep making magic, Caroline! You deserve to be at 1 million subscribers by now.

[denisevincenti]

OK, I'm just 5 minutes in but I had to stop and comment: wow Caroline, this video is soooo good! I honestly haven't seen any video that can go so in-depht in such a slippery subject as it is "how to pick the right furniture". Kudos, girl! Your contents are getting better and better!

[emilyisoutside]

I’m only 8 minutes in but I had to stop and buy you a coffee because this is the approachable home style intel I have been searching for all my life! Thank you, again, for the time, creativity and true care you put into your videos. ❤

[nicollepratt]

This is the best ad for revival rugs. They should def retroactively sponsor this 😂😂 I love it

[vibhamelkote]

I’m so glad I found your channel, that too right as I’m setting up in a new, shared space!! I was playing one of your videos for my boyfriend for inspo and he goes “snarky room girl?? YES!” Turns out he’s been a subscriber for a few years now and you’re the reason he has trays for everything😂 Thanks for being you!

[fireflythinking]

I feel like I'm watching a free masterclass on design and I'm grateful for it 🤩.

[carolynnanctildesign]

Excellent summarization. One thing I'd add, that I picked up from you in previous videos, is to mix angles with curves.

[asheirahs_nook]

I went to my local auction and bought the most stinkin' cute little red antique armchair and some other things I had my eye on. I'm redoing my entire space and only picking things where I immediately go 'That's it, that's the one' 😊 I do love how you're realistic when it comes to designing, and that you show you can decorate without breaking the bank 😊

[Darkbillhook]

1) you look fabulous as always
2) I’d love a video where you advise how slowly reach your goal style and how to merge different styles without it looking weird. Eg our home is mostly filled with white ikea furniture that we’ve had for years with a few more expensive modern pieces (also clean lines and white). However my style had changed and I appreciate more vintage romantic styles, more intricate details, and darker woods - but I can’t afford to just redo everything and I don’t know how to add more romantic vintage touches and furniture without it looking weird because the styles are so opposing :/

Caroline: excellent, useful content, always delivered with humor and taste. One of your best in terms of practical application. 5 stars.

Paige: I really want to acknowledge how much work you put into editing. Caroline delivered so much practical information in this video, and I get the feeling she probably caught herself going too deep, which resulted in a lot of cuts. You've condensed it down to a very concise video, while maintaining the humor and personality. 5 stars.

You're a great pairing and I never miss a video. Hope you continue to produce this terrific content forever!

Okay, 23 seconds in: can we talk about her necklace?! So chic.
