I’ve watched an embarrassing amount of DIY vids since buying our 1974 ranch house in May & I eat-sleep-dream this stuff right now. You are, by far, the most real & entertaining— and talented! — I’ve found, so Thank you! You’ve gained a subscriber & I subscribe to nearly nothing in life. Looking forward to your next project.😊
And btw? You can change the entire look of that sad floor by painting just the grout with primer. And you don’t even have to clean it first. I’d go with pale grey but you’re talented enough to get creative with color & it’d probably look designer when finished! 🤩

That door-feature is amazing! I haven't seen anyone else solve the boring-and-off-center issue so neatly and aesthetically! Beautiful!

[carolmiller]

Very creative ideas; love the new look! I am so happy that you didn't paint that gorgeous antique buffet ($100?!?!). I like the "backsplash." The bleed-through of the paint into the stripes gives it texture and keeps it from looking too perfect. Marty is an adorable helper and that painting that your little sister did of him is so wonderful! ❤

[nataliececil]

Um hi why am I just now finding you??? I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. I love a lot of the popular youtube DIYers but I’m getting bored of them painting everything white and black. This came out amazing, I especially love what you did with the stripey backsplash area!!! Your ideas are so original, creative, and look
good!! Keep up the amazing work I can’t wait to see what other projects you take on ☺️

[terri]

Your helper is adorable and your sister is seriously talented!

[diannahartin]

Love the kitchen now, especially the backsplash

[deborahmorgan]

Thanks for all the Marty cameos! I love the buffet placement and the clock!

The first video i watched of yours was the Lazy Girl Kitchen Makeover. I am a lazy, instant gratification DIYer, so Lazy Girl is what caught my eye! So now im a subscriber! I probably wouldn't have guessed it, but you're mighty handy with the power tools😉 ! I'm a DIY binge watcher so i try to watch several every day. You're very inspiring and talented and well, just plain funny! I laughed SO HARD when you showed us your body suit!😂😂😂😂. Hey, can you do a video using peel and stick wallpaper? I've been wanting to try it out. Thanks, Caroline, for the awesome decorating tips, inspiration and of course the laughs! We all need to laugh more! A fan in Texas.

Paint your floor grout. It's a must.

[addisonm]

I love having seen all your recent stuff 1st and now watching all these, prequels. It fills in so many questions!

[katzinkakat]

I am so glad that you corrected the direction of the kitchen roll during the makeover. That really hurt my eye. 😁

[dcpalmer]

Wowza girl 😍In DIY what’s matters fo me is what tools are required.

[violetbubbly]

Your creativity is soooo inspring Caroline! And LOVE that you explain the design logic/tricks behind your choices. So helpful. Looks great!

[UrUrbanRockstar]

You've added so much value to their homes. You leave it better than you found it. I hope they appreciate it!

[belindaroy]

You are very accomplished - beautiful, tasteful, imaginative, love it.

[noopcoup]

You make everything beautiful in a lasting way. It's making me more conscious of my own choices now. I have been binge-watching your videos for the past week. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world.

[Magicalflyingkitty]

Where can we send our design dilemmas for Caroline to review 🤗 so exciting i cant stop watching her vids 😂 ❤

Any ideas for ugly dark bamboo cabinets in a rental with almost not light!? I’m so tempted to paint them myself gahhhh!
It’s a brand new apartment, why did they do


5 years ago I would’ve loved to do all this, now I’m just a lazy school bus driver in my 30’s. It’s going to be very eventful, the day I decide to dive back into diy. Your chA-nnel is inspiring and motivating however so maybe sooner than I thought. Thank you for sharing your skills and imagination with the world!!!

Looks amazing!!! I had the same floors in my bathroom. I simply took some latex paint, slightly lighter than, y tiles, and a small paintbrush, and painted the grout lines. Super cheap, and the floor looks clean now! Those dark grout lines always make you think the floor is dirty. You can take about a 1/4 cup of your wall paint as is, or just add the tiniest drop of brown to tone down the white, and there you go!

[whitrobinson]

Holy cow, you killed this! Beautiful job!
