This was a really fabulous makeover. You gave a lot of excellent suggestions and tips. Being in the design space myself, I would like to suggest lowering the art over the sofa. It should be about 6 to 8 inches above the back. Your sister has a wonderful sense of color. I love the blue with the contrasting orange chair and the burgundy club chair. Very nice eclectic space. Well done.😊

What kind of miracle has occurred in the Winkler family to create four siblings who all seem to genuinely like each other, enjoy their time together, have in-jokes and references and lovingly roast each other but never so much that it might hurt anyone’s feelings. I don't think I know a single sibling relationship that's better than "begrudgingly tolerate" so I am completely bowled over. Like, please teach me this magic.

This weekend, i followed your advice and cleared out the whole living room and by the end of that, I was too exhausted to move to the next step. The room is empty, so I could not watch Netflix for two evenings in a row, which meant that I finally went to my bedroom early and slept before 10pm. Life changing! I might keep it like this for a while. 😂 My conclusion: a too cozy living room would keep me entertained, awake and snacking for the whole night.

As someone who has lived in their fair share of fan and museum district apartments, it’s so inspiring to see someone switch up the layout of this room/space because there are 273683 apartments in Richmond with this same layout. EVERYONE puts the sofa on the wall where it was originally because it otherwise feels like you block the porch/stoop door. You can’t live in Richmond without porching/stooping, so everyone feels the need to keep that walkway open. But this shows you can do something else and the world keeps on turning. Porch access still totally realistic. By redoing one apartment, you’ve shown a zillion other rva renters how they can reimagine the same space. Also bears mentioning that only true love could motivate you to drive the hellstrip that is 95 between Richmond and dc. Slam dunk video as always!

First, fluffing and rotating pillows are perfection. I fluff daily to refresh my rooms. The small table is genius, others sometimes don't see it but let's be honest, new ideas always take a while to accept. The best advice is to keep things where you use them, just make them look pretty when you do. That encourages us to put things away to keep it looking great AND it is easy!!

Had a happy accident this morning when I clicked on "my new favorite channel". Three gorgeous girls having fun making over this beautiful space without spending any money on generic box store goods that make every apartment look like it was bought in one trip to the store. Your room says love. It's full of personal items that have some meaning to you. You did a terrific job of taking this room to it's highest potential. It's completely warm, inviting, interesting and delightful. Just like you three. I have never heard so many spoken words in such a short time. Wow ! Tip .... Place a strip of foam in the crevice when you have an unruly slip cover, it will keep it firmly in place. One small critic..... I was thrilled with how you hung the artwork in the nook. Artwork should always be hung with relevance to the surrounding furniture and you did a great job.(So many people hang it at eye level, WHEN THEY ARE STANDING UP ^#@%) But then what happened ? ? You did just that over the sofa. HELP ! Those pictures need to come down at least four or maybe five inches. They look so disconnected from the sofa. ( Please forgive this tiny critic, it's just my number one decorating peeve and I couldn't help my self, I just HAD to say it. ) Thanks for a delightful half hour. I look forward to watching the rest of your channel and getting to know you better.

As an artist who’s ADHD this video felt like it was made for me! 😂 I’m the big sister but otherwise. My little sister shared a room with me through childhood and what worked for her was opposite to what worked for me. She gets overwhelmed when things are out. And I can’t find anything when things are hidden. This felt like a good balance. I’m so into the idea of zones. (Keep stuff where it’s used then riding up is easy!) and taking how someone lives in a space and leaning into it. I’ve been working on that because I just moved into a new space and I feel like I’m finally getting somewhere functional with it. Anywho, good video. I enjoyed it a lot. I feel like if I had seen something like it at 13 years old it would have saved a lot of trouble. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours so I don’t know if this is your usual. But if it is, you’ve got a good talent and skill to look at a space, and come up with the best way to lay it out to serve the needs of your client. I think that you will be very successful and I wish you all the best.

When the vase fills up you can dump the contents in a "sharps box" as medical waste.

So I have had to figure out how to make her space work for her in this age of her health /safety & retirement activities, while also not being able to get rid of/replace too much😅🤔😵💫and then also try to make myself feel comfortable in the remaining space I have for me😄Anyways, it's sooo helpful to see all your tips in action in these makeovers.

You are SO real for these $0 makeovers, they're so exciting yet still grounded and realistic. I love the idea of using what's at hand.

More redecorating videos with zero money, please. Most of us live like this. we can't afford high end things. Love the feel of a more personal space rather than the norm these days of beige, white and gray's, blah! And sometimes you just need a second eye to help. LOVE THIS SPACE!!!

The pictures at the end of the video. 🥰 Great and realistic makeover especially for someone with ADD or ADHD. It used to drive me nuts that my daughter would not put her stuff away. When I finally thought about how her brain worked and helped create storage that she could see and access easily, and use within the space it made both our lives easier. Excellent work, Caroline!

I agree with your sister, someone will trip on that small table. I like what you did with switching the cushions.
@cassandraknight88043 ай бұрын
It would have actually fitted under the chair when not in use.

I agree too. I think if you are the type person that knows you will trip over something you will.And storing it under the chair when not would be worse, you would put it out planning to put a glass of red wine or coffee on then trip carrying it.

I so wanted one (1) large, simple painting in this corner, to create a peaceful, calming area / experience. (Instead of 7 + things on the wall in that crowded corner, in addition to the stuff on the doubletable and dresser)) just thinking....... 20:40

My brain just had a small explosion because I too have a little sister named Julia (also 8 years younger) and I too live in Richmond, VA. Just had to share, I couldn't hold it in, I felt a connection of sorts that needed to be shared lol.

Can confirm that every German kid had this pencil case in the 90s - I (still) have the same in blue :) Now watched till the end and wow, what a wonderful job you did! Julia's "new" place looks amazing! ❤

The way u talk about adhd makes me so happy. Feeling shamed for it all my life, your assertive positive attitude on it was so nice to hear. Time to declutter and rearrange my living room now 😂
@gwendolynhiggins35393 ай бұрын
Thank you so much for this! As a fellow ADHDer, I am coming to the realization that I need to have specific homes for everything I own with no ambiguity about where something should go. This is a good reminder that storage can be cute AND functional. Also, have you ever had the experience of seeing someone in a video/photo who kind of looks like you and been creeped out for a second? I look vaguely similar to Julia (not a dead ringer, but close enough at a glance) and had the same haircut about 10 years ago and this video mildly gave me the heebie jeebies.

I love the idea of not cleaning up before you started the change. Really does give you an idea of their living routine, nothing worse than doing a makeover that doesn't fit you. Also love the fact no extra money or resources were used. Big thumbs up.

If only she throws the trash like her testing strips n needles in a bin to begin with, she won't have such a problem with cleaning. Especially with a pet running around with exposed needles😮

Wow, wow, love everything about this video. You and your little sister remind me of my daughters. It’s such an incredibly sweet relationship to witness. Julia’s apartment “makeover” is truly a work of art. You keep surprising us with simplistic ideas that make such a big impact in a space. Well done!

I LOVE this realistic, intentional, consumerism-free makeover so much, these videos are great. I especially loved what you said about how having to declutter isn't a failure, it's part of a working system. That mindset switch is so helpful.
