In Shabby Chic’s defense (lol), the designer who coined the term—Rachel Ashwell—has said herself that she avoids faux old pieces that have been painted and intentionally distressed to look worn.

In her book she says, “To buy a piece that you will have to turn into something shabby is to miss the point, for the appeal of a piece is in its natural aging, not in the false creation of the appearance of age.”

So the inventor of shabby chic would actually agree with you :)

[martifinan]

I love the combo of the two of you. Paige grounds Caroline's energy and Caroline lighten's Paige's energy. A beautiful duo - more please!

[cuervacho]

I'm one of those guys that constitute that 20% of Caroline's male audience and also a long time subscriber of Paige's channel. Everyone has already spoken very eloquently about this video so I'll just say this: to me, the point of this video is about the beauty of a friendship being born, right in front of our eyes. Unlike a shabby chic piece, you can't fake that; this is pure vintage. ❤

Caroline & Paige hanging out = Me experiencing more jealousy than I’ve ever felt in my life.

[sophiem]

Love it. The only point I’d make is that you recommend just going for a real vintage Persian rug instead of a faux vintage rug because they’re easy enough to find…but ignore the fact that real vintage Persian rugs (bigger than a large bath mat) can easily cost literally thousands of dollars (even on Revival).

Dunno, just struck me as odd. I think the better advice would be “go another design route if you don’t have $$$$ to spend on a real vintage rug, ” not “duh, just get a real one”

[jbyrd]

Shame on anyone who hates on Caroline’s vlogs. They are gold 🥇

[elikasabova]

Find yourself someone that looks at you like Caroline looks at Paige 😅❤

[laurenschlein]

I could literally watch an entire series on both of you judging homes/ helping 😂

It was really nice of Caroline to wear a tomato top.

[orphanedhanyou]

It's one of the things some of the YouTube interior design commentators do that irks me, is like when Paige says why is the parquet flooring in the bedroom/it doesn't go with the design. Most of us can't change the flooring in any our rentals or homes just because it doesn't go with what we can change for much cheaper like furniture or paint which you can get cheap or bring with you place to place. Most people dont rip up a floor just so the design is better. They just have to live with it.

[LoisLeonora]

OMFG. A collaboration i didn't know i needed. I adore both of your sharp but witty takes.

[DeadWisteria]

There are a few reasons why I could think someone may not want to actually get a real vintage rug.
1. they want a washable rug that also looks vintage because they have pets kids etc. (the ability to clean something yourself without emptying the bank is valuable to a large family house)
2. they intend on having it in a indoor outdoor space like a covered patio or something. (Outdoors isn’t really good for natural fabrics)
3. in art room or something messy where you don’t want to have a real piece of history get ruined by accident.
4. You’re in a dorm or a rented space or a space that you may not stay in for a long period of time and may not have the ability to take things with you when you leave.

[veroave]

Caroline’s home is wonderful. So personal and fantastic design sense. It is rare when one see a home on YouTube that you see every object, furniture etc that was actually curated by the person.

[greeneti]

There’s a difference between not preferring a particular style and the style actually being poorly executed. Not being able to discern between the two is not a sign of good taste or sophistication. It’s just weird.

[angierecovering_clutterer]

The discussion of making your home an authentic representation of its setting hit hard, but I think I'm nailing the "old house in the ghetto" aesthetic that I was shooting for.

[christianepaquet]

What a gift ! You two should get together more often...virtually if you can't travel all across the country each time, which you can't. Love you both !

[tammieecho]

I was smiling ear to ear through this entire video. Such a perfect collab!

[sarahmfi]

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The two of you together is incredible. Please make this a regular thing.

[inbrightonwithlill]

I knew it… about time I’m so happy this collab finally happened. Congratulations ladies. Whoop Whoop 🙌 x
