☞ My name is Ariel and I’m a Canadian writer, poet, and YouTuber. I organize my shelves by genre and then colour and my favourite book is Animal Farm. I've been making bookish content online for a decade and love spreading a love of reading through videos, panels, articles, and more!

☞ Thanks for watching! ☜

All your videos are so upbeat without being smarmy, cutesy, cringey or too sweet. You remind me to love life and be grateful for all the little things we have surrounding us everyday.

I can't be the only one that wants Ariel to do a mug tour of her mug collection! And I would love if Ariel did a video on her nail polish collection and how she keeps her hands and nails so beautiful while doing construction! Perfect homewares sponsorship and ethical nail polish sponsorship!! Please Ariel!!??? ❤❤❤❤

As someone trying to slow down and live more intentionally, watching you get so excited about such small objects brought me so much joy. You are inspiring me to make an event out of the little things. Thanks for this video!

this was the wholesome video i needed today

When you fix the jug, add a bead of gold paint along the crack like they do in Japan. You accentuate and embrace the repair (kintsugi). Love all your fun finds🥰

If you buy an antique frame but dont want the photograph, put the one you want in front and leave the other photograph behind, you still keep the photograph but have what you want showing.

The flower frame in your tiny room diorama? I would squeal!

[kaylakinney]

The pressed flowers!!! How sweet and what a special memory you'll both have :)

[zoeh]

Ariel please test for lead paint! You can get a cheap swab kit at home hardware. better safe than sorry, and its not like youd have to get rid of them if theyre positive but you'd want to wash your hands after handling :)

Quick note...the reason the silver pitcher had not be "polished" was because many folks prefer to keep their sterling plated items tarnished. Im thinking the seller chose to leave the "shine" preference up to the person who purchased it. I agree, i love your tiny picture next to the flowers! Lovely job my dear!!!!

[threeleggedcat]

okay actually obsessed with the paperhouse postcards, that's so fun and creative??!?

[samwright]

The flower pressing was too aesthetically pleasing❤❤❤

[CeruleanCzarina]

There isn’t another creator on YouTube whose aesthetic I enjoy more! Your decor is so thoughtful and creative, and I thoroughly enjoy listening to you and watching you decide what to pick and where to place it. I always leave your videos with a greater enthusiasm for continuing the process of curating my own home.

The beautiful, tiny vase next to the even tinier vase on the mantlepiece is just so cute...

[sarahscott]

Ariel! I'm the bookseller Sarah you met at Gower Street lol HELLO and I completely forgot to recommend you Wifedom by Anna Funder if you hadn't already got it - it's about George Orwell's wife so very Ariel coded. Was on my floor but my brain blanked till after! Anyway this video was v cute <3

We have a connection. We gut renovated our 150 year old home and kept it true with hidden conveniences. My style is Eclectic Maximalist Relaxed Victorian and a room of Dark Academia. Like you, I feel we have not decorated our home, rather it’s curated. It took 20 years of antique stores, estate sales, flea markets an such and selected each piece. We both inherited our parents things which were from the era where you pass things down to “keep it in the family”. It’s been such a joy but we’re done. Time to just enjoy. We love it.

[teresasloupova]

I knew I wasn't crazy! Somewhere in the back of my mind, during all your house reno videos, I was like "But Ariel is scared of antiques!". Stuck in my brain for many years, maybe as it is such an unique fear haha. Loved the video btw, as always, they always feel like a treat :)

[eaccristo]

That pink IKEA jar would look cute filled with flowers too. On a window sill. I love colored glass on my windows sills. Makes the rooms glow.
Glad you had a wonderful trip and get better soon. 😊

The placement of the small frame 🖼️ IS ACTUALLY PERFECTION!

[lisamason]

It’s impossible to not get caught up in your enthusiasm and sheer joy for life! I’ve never seen a video of yours that hasn’t made me smile. You are a gem!
