I just want you to know, that I'm high af and when I saw the thumbnail of this video, I initially read, 'Communist Issues.' My first thought was, "wow, Caroline is definitely moving in a bold new direction!" 😂

[lindseypeterson]

Video idea: Interior designs that look good online but look terrible or are impractical in real life.

My sister had liked a very expensive wall paper with an exotic animal motif. It was way out of her budget. After talking with her about why she was in love with it and 'had to have it', I realized she mainly was crazy about 4 of the animals depicted. I suggested that she just purchase a section of the wall paper and cut out and frame the animal pics. She did and she realized that was actually the only thing drawing her to the wall paper and ended up liking the framed pics against a solid color wall much much better. It was a much more cohesive look without being overwhelmed with cost and a room full of a repeating animal motif.

When I first started watching this channel, I thought Caroline would be the kind of person who redecorates every single week/month. A lot of people are like this online, but I appreciate how you not only work with what you have (not ripping out the cabinets, and actually choosing to paint with a colour you dislike so that the room looks nice, that was crazy to me as a viewer) but you actually give helpful advice that I feel can apply to a college student in their first apartment as well as a doctor living in a 6 figure home.
As a bonus, this channel is entertaining as fuck, so thanks for filming! :)

Favorite moment: Caroline saying "excuse me" when she bumped the flowers on the table. 11:28. She is a gem.

I just did the pinterest board thing and OH MY GOD, you could have knocked me over with a feather. I prefer white walls. I drool over color and eclectic styles and joyful spaces but when it comes to what I'd want in my own house, literally everything - EVERYTHING - I chose had white walls (but then very warm and cozy with all kinds of stone and dark wood and natural outdoorsy cottage-y textures). I'm shook. Thank you!! No wonder I've hated every room I ever painted!

But I'm not sure if I'm indecisive.

[JK-lcvj]

'Restrictions are your friend', that quote realy stuck with me. It helps me a lot when I feel indecisive, not only with interior design.

[Caroline_Winkler]

This is a video requested by THE PEOPLE! 😍 thank you to everyone who shared feedback about what video they wanted to see next in this series, I got the idea and title directly from YOU. Design indecision is very real, and I totally relate! I have spent a long time thinking about it through the years and these are some of the exercises that help me, I hope they help you too ❤ love this community

[kisikisikisi]

Caroline, this is perfect. My tinder bio is literally "I'm tall and indecisive", it's such a defining trait for me. The story I tell everyone for laughs is about the time I didn't notice the corner store was getting robbed at knife point because I had such a hard time deciding what candy I wanted to buy. Deciding what color to paint a wall is just too much for me. I have such a fear of disappointment. (p.s. I picked a raspberry white chocolate and it was disappointing. Also, the robber got caught because he took a cab right outside the store and the cabdriver thought he was weird)

“I don’t know how solid that metaphor was…” 😂😂😂 Oh, Caroline, honey, that metaphor was rock solid, and funny as hell. Also, spillage feels like something we need to embrace whenever we’re learning *anything* new. You’re gonna make mistakes, and it’s all okay.

I hope you find a way to help the anxiety settle down. You’re a magnificent human, and I don’t think I’m alone here in wanting the best for you. ❤️

A video idea: How about all the ordinary, mundane everyday but necessary things in your home that are just straight ugly. Usually most interior youtubers/designers don't want to show these pieces despite people use them every day multiple times. For example I really struggle to find a good toilet seat that doesn't look that ugly and depressing like they were offered literally everywhere. (I don't even find expensive alternatives.) Usually it wouldn't matter that much, but my bathroom is really tiny so it does matter to me that it's at least somehow nice in that room. You know? 🙂
Thank you!!!

The combination of actual good and useful information with comedy and personality makes this the best damn channel on the internet. Yes I said it.

[moparman]

I came to this channel months ago for the home decorating ideas so I could have/ give an opinion to my wife when she asks me about what to get for the house. I have subscribed for the insight and life advice. These videos are funny and thought provoking. Caroline keep it up.

[auntkaz]

When I lived and traveled in Europe I used to purchase street art. I loved supporting regular people and I got unique artwork at reasonable prices that had memories of the places I had been. I still love these pieces 20+ years later.

“Your children. Probably going to be living with you until middle school.” 🤣🤣🤣
I loved this thank you! I just moved into my first house and it’s QUIRKY. It’s a 30’s ranch with a vaulted 2nd livingroom that was a garage at one point, then another add one and another add on like it keeps going at weird levels like the Weasley house in Harry Potter. It’s such a weird blank canvas!! I appreciate your point that restrictions are actually helpful.
I appreciate you ❤️🥰

[Daymickey]

I love how non influencer you are. You make me feel ok about being realistic in my space.

[rachelsteidl]

Yay! 500k subscribers! Congrats Caroline. You deserve it.

[cartwheelsinthezendo]

Hi Caroline. First, congratulations on reaching 500, 000 subs. I was here early on so not surprised to see you reach this milestone. Secondly, thank you for this timely video. I have been unhoused and living in my car for the past 2 months. I watch a lot of videos and have a lot of time on my hands. I have moved 1000 miles away from where I was living. I sign the lease on my new apartment on Tuesday. Needless to say I don't have a lot of furniture or accessories in my car so I am starting fresh. I have been trying to slow down my feeling that I will need to buy things quickly because it will feel so empty. Your suggestion to live in the space for awhile first is reinforcing my feeling that I need to move slowly. I am sure of what makes me feel happy in a space but I know every space is different. Wish me luck. ❤

in late Capitalism, interior design has become a signal for class and cultural standing, rather than a matter of pure aesthetic or practicality. Similar to fashion, you dress (your rental) to impress. You get confused because you're not only choosing furniture, you're curating your own identity. In the Instagram era, one's identity has been expanded to the aesthetic of their lifestyle - the looks of the hotels you visit, the green smoothies you drink, the yoga you do, and the interior design you got in your room have all become part of how you present yourself to the world, and therefore to yourself.
