Oh man I love this format. The restrictions really teach design principles rather than the assumption that buying new stuff is the only fix. A lot of design shows rely on totally gutting a space and replacing it were all-new stuff for the "big transformation" shock value at the end of the episode, but a lot of the time those spaces end up looking all alike and have none of the actual resident's real personality in them. This is so much better.

[@emilyandstuff]

I'm an interior designer and I love how much you emphasize the importance of getting into the space and moving things around. This is the key to good design, you have to experience the space, see and feel how it affects you, how the light comes in, how you enter and exit a room, what paths of travel and sight lines you see from different areas in the space. Thank you for your personality, it's clear you feel deeply the world around you, so it is wonderful how you've channelled those talents into reading and improving others spaces! :)

[@calewis55]

Yes. All done with intuitive wisdom and heart. So lovely! ❤

Wonderful channel. It trains our eye and breaks the consumerist overdrive to have us shop the home. Good move. I love your Frog and Toad T!

I spray-painted a chandelier while it was still hung attached to the ceiling, and for weeks thereafter I was finding errant & hugely unwelcome overspray in the oddest places. No bueno, I don’t care how ‘carefully’ you think you’re applying the spray lol. HUGE improvement in the space, it’s amazing!

[@Mrjudsonjames]

A perfect example of how two creative minds can bounce off one another. You gave her a much better layout, cohesion, and editing and she even helped improve on your improvements with her suggestion in the dining idea, your idea gave her an idea! That’s what I loved most about this video. Was it wasn’t just all someone coming in and saying, “this is how you do it” and changing it. It was organic, dynamic and turned out fantastic! We could see you both got something out of the whole experience. 😊

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Alejandra is a darling ❤. What a perfect match for your first subscriber makeover. I love this series of no buy or low buy makeovers. It inspired me to move a few pieces around in my house and it nudged some stuck design energy out of the way and I’m finally figuring out how I want to solve an ongoing issue I’ve been having in my kitchen. It also inspired me to make a writing/crafting space for myself and I finally have made a start in learning how to sew - something I’ve been wanting to do for a decade but never felt ready to do because I knew it would be too disruptive and cumbersome if I had to lug the machine out and put it away all the time. My point is, these makeovers aren’t even remotely trivial. Our environments impact us a LOT in ways we don’t realize. The hit of inspiration, the changing of the energy in our spaces, the making our spaces more usable can release us to try new and scary things in other areas of our lives. Yup, just love this, Caroline. It turned out so well !! It’s personal, it’s inviting, and it accomplished what Alejandra was hoping for. Awesome ❤

Your advice from another video about using the things you already got, just move them around and find a right place for them was the best advice about interior design I have ever gotten.

Thank you for saying you don’t need a rug in the dining room. With three small children, a hard surface under the table is a must and I hate that it isn’t fully accepted in the interior design world.

[@karen7394]

Right? I would have spent every mealtime stressed out watching my kids eat in case they spilled anything on a rug. It's hard enough keeping the rug in the living room safe from kids and animals😊

[@Caroline_Winkler]

u definitely dont!

[@leonore3349]

I prefer it without a rug: more modern and elevated, in my opinion. But I guess it depends on the rest of the space.

[@nadjak3410]

I don't think that this is a no no in the interior design world, though. We also have a combined living room/dining room and two rugs would compete too much.

[@vaderladyl]

I always hear it is just a matter of personal preference to have a rug or not. Not a no-no in design by any stretch.

Fabulousness!!! I thought it was SO ADORABLE before. I absolutely love the ceiling and re do on the chandelier!!!! And the floor plan is fantastic. Moving that bench on the other side of the table is genius and adding the pillows makes it look built in. Agree removing the valances and that detail above the windows that Alejandra is everything. That lamp to hang in the corner…creativity at its best. I love this zero dollar make over SO VERY MUCH.

[@mijemina]

[@annefrazer6629]

There was an HGTV show in the early 2000s called Freestyle. The decorator did exactly what you are doing. He went into a space and redecorated with not spending any money. I loved that show. Another HGTV show that was very long running back in the day was Decorating Cents where the decorator did a room makeover for under $500. There was also a segment where the decorator made over a room without spending any money. I loved the room but can I be honest? The ceiling as a little Beetlejuice for my taste. But your client was pleased so that's what counts.😊

[@WellEditedCo]

Yes! I thought of Freestyle too. I loved that show, and it inspired me so much because I usually have zero budget but love making my home pretty anyway. I have missed shows like that so much as everything on HGTV got to be about big money and major renos, which is why KZbin creators like Caroline are so needed. And appreciated!

[@evaperson3976]

Leftover paint is my go to. The secret is to know when to stop. At this very moment I can see 4 murals/accents in related colors that give my house the illusion that it holds more furniture and art than it actually does. Haven't done a ceiling mural in this house yet, but I have in the past. Might slap one up in the hallway TODAY. Great video.

[@joaniestraw5075]

It's so inspiring to see how simple editing and curating a space can make such a difference! We're conditioned to constantly add more, which often confuses and kind of messes things up. The choice to remove the second carpet was brilliant, it opened the area up and allowed it to breath (even though it was pretty cute to start with). You have a real gift for this Caroline, can't wait to see more!! 👏💐

[@Digitalhunny]

HOLD UP! When you place the painters tape all down you _ALWAYS_ paint the new stripes with the base color 1st _than,_ you go in with your "fun" color on top of that. This way, any bleeding is going to be that original color, not the new one. Straight crisp lines, everytime! ❤❤❤

[@flowersafeheart]

What a fun project! Two artists collaborating to make a great space greater. Also some ideas it gave me for my furnitureless new apartment I'm gradually decorating: dining table doesn't need rug, 2 big rugs may be too much for smallish multipurpose room, living room rug can be cozy. Maybe design it all first THEN find where TV can go. Drawn/online floorplans can help but sometimes just moving stuff physically around is how to find best layout (one example shown here was discovering how daylight lands and feels). Ceiling color/design can make big difference. Painting cool items a new color can make big difference.

[@starklingspars8956]

The little round table and ottoman is brilliant. The roundness continues the soft element of the pink imho. AND it's really practical to have small tables for the extra space AND you won't hurt your shin against a hard corner,which would happen late at night or when not awake properly, trying to shuffle around the couch. I had my doubts about the starburt and chandelier but the muted shades make the pink whimsical style appealing to a wider audience. ( Like me, who don't normally like that style!) This looks so good and looks really functional and comfortable. 😍

As a mad failureofascientistanduniversityquitter who lives in a small rental flat with a vertical piano, an engineering room full of electronics stuff and a room to sleep, I find your videos incredibly useful to try and make everything except the engineering room comfy to guests. And the crazy room comfy to myself! Thank you!

Wow! This is an amazing makeover. Its stunning and huge respect for how you took something already cute and took it to a whole new level.

To be honest, though, if that radiator is a working radiator, having the sofa that close to it can be a problem. When the radiator's hot in the winter, the heat can damage the upholstery or break down the padding inside the back, even with the radiator cover. It'll also block a significant amount of heat from the radiator--not that DC winters ever get all that cold, but it's worth being aware of if you get cold easily. But otherwise, this is super cute, and I love how open it is. As a reader, I'd love to have so much light hitting the sofa from the windows.

I was thinking the same

[@Caroline_Winkler]

we pulled it off the radiator about a foot - i'm hoping that's enough? but if needed, i think she's still got room to pull it off more! alejandra, plz dont burn. bad PR

Could the rad cover be redesigned??? Solid next to sofa and top side vents???
