Extreme Bedroom Makeover...PART 2!!! (sophisticated + cozy)

[@drsalka]

As someone who studied architecture and became completely disillusioned with design and the industry, your videos are a much needed breath of fresh air and a sense of inspiration

[@JC-sg5uo]

I can totally see her working on a bed and breakfast.

[@Caroline_Winkler]

obsessed with this. going straight to my head ❤

[@AMarie333]

I couldn't agree more!! This room is not my style but I'm still obsessed with it. I would pay to stay here in a heartbeat.

[@elizabethclark8374]

Hi Caroline, I agree with the previous comments. You should design rooms in a boutique hotel. I hope that happens!!! Elizabeth Clark

[@lisalynne108]

I’m on board with that as well!!

[@urmysunshine90]

I like how you explain why you made the choices you did in a way that can apply to everyone, rather than just explaining as it pertains to the room. I feel like that's rare, and I really appreciate it.

[@Caroline_Winkler]

i cant tell you how helpful this feedback is. i can never tell when im talking too much (it is often too much) and so i cut out about 20 extra minutes of me explaining my approach to design choices. but if it's helpful, i'll try leaving more in next time!

[@bgholmq]

@@Caroline_Winkler please do leave it in! You're teaching us in an entertaining way. I love your interior design videos more than anyone else's (and I follow several)!

[@caracharles8564]

@@bgholmq i can agree more... i learn so much watching her videos... and little by little my view on design have change... even muy friends notice it... so THANK YOU so much @ Caroline

[@staciebergwerff4848]

I’ve been watching design videos for more than a year to educate myself for a recent reno of the small house we’ve lived in for 17 years. I learned more in this 15 minutes than I have in what likely adds up to hundreds of hours reading and watching other things. And I was entertained and smiling the whole time. Thank you! Merry Christmas from Ontario.

[@littlehorses]

thanks for explaining how your mind works when planning the layout and everything! would you talk more about lighting, lamps, etc? it's the thing I find the least intuitive, and I think you do a great job with it (you rocked the bold choices on your kitchen makeover). thanks so much for the great content this uear! happy holidays!!!

[@rallyrally]

I feel like in these guest room makeovers nobody ever includes blackout window treatments! I don’t care how cute a room is, if there’s only some see through linen curtains, people won’t be able to sleep which is the whole point! So I love that you called that out

[@vaderladyl]

I agree. That is so important.

[@Caroline_Winkler]

function 👏over 👏all👏

[@nathy0308]

I agree, but I've also started to not use them for the past month or so. I find that it helps me wake up in the mornings! Something about the gradual shift in light really helps my body prepare for waking up and then I do, less tired.

[@vzeimen]

I think the thing I enjoy the most about your design style is that the room always looks like it's always been that way, cozy and homey but also new and clean. You have a wonderful eye for color and decor.

[@jendaq7707]

Caroline you are so gifted! The room is absolutely stunning--elegant, cozy, harmonious, serene and inviting--just perfect. You've really upleveled your game in the past year. Looking forward to your next endeavors. Merry Christmas!

[@Caroline_Winkler]

bb! you're making me blush. we're always evolving! i hope to keep learning and improving. and most of all i am so, so glad you love the transformation.

[@auroraborealis13579]

❤ AGREED!

[@bodegacat1]

girl the algorithm blessed me because i just discovered you and i've been binging your videos for 3 days. You've inspired me to redecorate my home with what i have and be the little interior designer i know i'm meant to be. Excited for the podcast

[@solacescalicocritters7256]

Saaaame 🥰

[@gaylecole-sm4sr]

This is a great example of showcasing YOUR particular approach to design, with the specific commentary on your styling choices, and the reasons behind those choices. (I like: working with what you have---size of room---and bringing in the thrift store items, as well as things that were already owned). The final result really demonstrates your taste in decor, and is perhaps your best "how to" video yet.

[@Caroline_Winkler]

ah thank you! i'm so glad you liked it. and thank you for always leaving such sweet comments ❤

[@gaylecole-sm4sr]

@@Caroline_Winkler Sure thing. While my personal approach to my own surroundings is quite different from your traditional sensibility, I can appreciate it when you "nail it" in achieving your ends. Despite all the waiting involved with this project, the guest room works on so many levels.....you've pulled it all together!

[@roseelliott2728]

Wow! This room is so cozy,I love the mix of new and thrifted with what you already had. It feels like a room in a little British Inn. Merry Christmas to the Winkler Family❤

[@Caroline_Winkler]

ahh British country homes are some of the main features on my pinterest boards!!! you nailed it ❤ i love their used of pattern and layering especially

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

@@Caroline_Winkler I'm British and all of your designs feel so homey and familiar to me, I love it

[@arelibobeli]

Does anyone else also like to re-watch Caroline's videos? haha Also, just wanted to share: The orientation of the bed that you chose is the best placement for this room, regardless of your furniture choices! This room has amazing feng shui. And who doesn't like a reading corner by the window?? (I learned a lot from Dear Modern's channel and your channel!

[@santisanti8386]

Re-watching all the time!

[@andreamartineau1197]

I love that the two full length mirrors almost mimic the two tall thin floor length windows!

[@Artevibe]

This is legitimately the most beautiful bedroom I've ever seen. Keeping this video as a someday inspiration.

[@1_viewer]

If a bed is situated between windows you can’t glance out of the windows. I like being in bed looking outside. Love everything in the room!

[@maleidi]

So much more balanced than putting bed, dressers against a window wall. The curtains are enough and the acess to the windows is better

[@lindarozell8290]

I love this room, Caroline! It is so inviting, and it requires NOTHING of its occupant. It makes you feel like a welcome guest. Not every room can do that!

[@Lexi_333]

Watching you remove and then replace the throw blanket on the chair was literally mind blowing! Amazing work as always

[@jananirajaraman4707]

100%!

[@sue1699]

I love this room because it's not 'too': not overdecorated, not underdecorated, just enough color (especially the wallpaper and touches of red), just enough furniture to be comfortable but not crowded. The personal touches give it a 'soul'.

[@suzannecb162]

Absolutely beautiful room! Cozy, but not overwhelming, bright and airy but grounded and comforting! This room says "Love"!!!

[@carolaratari6373]

Comforting...that's the description. Love it. You validate my favorite style...traditional. Thank you. ❤🎄

[@Caroline_Winkler]

this is the highest compliment. i'm always happiest when people come over and say it's cozy ❤

[@jt2284]

One of the most unique and wonderful things about your channel is that you have such an abundance of knowledge that we actually learn SO much while just being entertained. Not many KZbinrs/content creators have that balance. It's always such a joy to watch your videos!

[@azucarmorenita1]

The room is stunning but equally admirable is the relationship you have with your family.

[@theresakelly4609]

Your Mom is incredible and so vibrant. I can see where you get some of your delightful personality . Thank you again so much for all the education and creativity. YOU ROCK!

[@lisamartin704]

Your mom's smile says it all. The room glows! It feels so warm and inviting. Absolutely worth waiting for.

[@kristin7762]

I love that you used your grandmother’s chest. I’ve been so inspired by your style that I pulled some of my grandpa’s oil paintings that weren’t already hanging in my parents’ house and now I can’t for the life of me figure out how to make them work. Your explanation of using height, tension, and asymmetry is SUPER helpful. Absolutely stunning work, Caroline. Frohe Weihnachten fur deine ganze Familie und Guten Rutsch!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@virginiademelo]

Iconic. I want to die of old age surrounded by my loved ones in a room like this one

[@n.c.467]

I ❤️ everything about this classy room makeover. Favorite element is your Grammy's cabinet and the fact that you and your Mom collabed on this project. Shes so sweet! And you're so talented, Caroline!

[@leighmarlar8164]

Serendipity! I just found your channel a few days ago, just watched part 1 YESTERDAY, and was pissed there was no part 2 because I LOVE this room. In fact, you found the wallpaper I’m now going to use in my dining room. I’m in love. ❤❤❤ So happy to have found your channel!!

[@carolinemurray7648]

Love it! And love how you explain your reasons for your choices - it makes so much sense and is really helpful. I thought the pic above the bed was too small with the mirrors but now I understand why - thank you! Have a wonderful Christmas from another Caroline in Scotland! 🎄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥂❤️🎁

[@Caroline_Winkler]

love to hear this ❤

[@kathybell4878]

I felt the same way about the picture between the mirrors....and I still want it turned horizontal instead of vertical. Everything else is SO cozy and I'm turning into a wallpaper fan!

[@idancealways4ever440]

Negative space ❤❤❤

[@vaderladyl]

@@kathybell4878 I get and use the point of tension but I would still put a frame a couple more inches wider on that space, but that is just my personal taste.

OMG!!! Part✌🏾!!!! Caroline, I freaking love this!!! I love every single element.

So tasteful and charming. I love your traditional take on designing. Growing up in Austria we were swamped with cold modern bauhaus and IKEA. So seeing you bringing back graceful design and simple beauty is delightful !

[@pamelapetrosino4437]

Wow, Caroline! You just outdid yourself! The room is just beautiful. I love wallpaper, and I feel that this wallpaper is the crown jewel of the room. You are so talented, and you make such smart choices in your design elements. I feel like I’m getting a free education in interior design by a master! I want to stay in this room! You can tell that your mom greatly approves. You may need some kind of light in the reading nook area for nighttime. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!

[@DorianGray-gf6vz]

This room reminds me a little bit of the parent’s bedroom in Home Alone, which is just so homey, but freshened up. Color scheme really feels “right.”

[@saraheppley5089]

Agree with the others in the comments saying how much practical design advice I learn from your videos! I wonder if you could do a video on different types of wall hangings? I guess I'm kind of graduating from the poster and tapestry era of my college days and early 20s, wondering how to repurpose my favorite amongst those but in a more adult or fancy way. Do you have favorite framing advice? Alternatives to frames? Really appreciate you!

[@lyric8529]

Oh Caroline! It was well worth the wait!! So cozy and BEAUTIFUL. Love it!! I love that you wallpapered the entire room vs. an accent wall. Love the thrifted and sentimental items. LOVE the swivel rocking chair, so many thoughtful touches. One little thing, (not to be taken as a criticism, just an awareness) I know several people that suffer from chemical sensitivities that instead of perfume or air freshener would just appreciate the scent of the freshly laundered (in fragrance free degergents) linens and the greenery from the garden. 😊 I feel like this is your Christmas gift to us! Thank you! 🤗🎄🎁🎍💚

[@mde6006]

Omg that was the cutest having Lauren (Mom) come in at the end and the sweet chat together. Great room make over and awesome tips. 👍👏👏 Thank you! 💐

I want to live in this bedroom. The long mirrors on either side was brillant.

[@alinabelousova]

I love EVERYTHING about this room. It is stunning!!! I'd like to copy and paste the style into my living room or do something similar with burgundy, green, pink, grey and white colours. You've got an incredible talent of pairing things. Even the smallest details like the two books on the table and a vase on top is sooo elegant. And your grandmas console fits so well with the whole style of the room, like it was made for it!!

Awww so cute you and your mama! ❤ I like those family pieces in there. Sometimes I feel like we’re moving too much into robot, cookie cutter styles. There’s definitely something special about heirloom pieces!

[@2L82Sk8Bye]

The wallpaper is everything. It’s a beautiful room; I love the mixing of colors throughout the room. Your tip about eliminating a dresser and using oversized nightstands instead is a gem and I will be using that idea for sure.

[@carolyn_bo_barolyn]

If you ever want to make a video with tips on how to design a room, any one room, that would be so dope. I know interior designers make a whole thing out of selling courses on their particular school of thought, and it’s probably a big project for a video, but I know a lot of us would eat up any insight into your process that we could apply to our own homes. (Obvs in addition to all the insights you give us weekly!) Like do you start with a color palette, or a purpose, or artwork (hey Sophie Ashby), or do you start in the middle of the room (hello Rita Konig). Where do you spend money and where do you save? You get the idea! We moved into a new house 8 months ago and I am a bit stuck on where to begin with making our house feel like a home. No major upgrades needed yet, but how do I pick a room and then decide how to make it our own, ya know?? You are da coolest! Byeeee

[@MizJilly]

Oh my goodness, this is classy and looks like it was curated over 20 years. I love everything! And good to know about how long it took to get that chair - visiting a local upholsterer and reviving an old piece is looking like a solid option. Great job, and joyous holidays!!

Nice Caroline! Beautiful before and after. It’s lovely, traditional with a touch of modern. I love the oversized mirrors. Who would have thunk?

[@kmdn1]

Your videos are super inspiring! It's refreshing to see a designer making creative decisions while listening to their intuition. I'm also pretty sensitive (being mindful and listening to my own response and experience to find the right answer: "is this annoying? Or does this feel right?" is my go-to starting point now. Seeing your thought processes and reasoning behind the creative decisions are very enlightening. Even when you *know* that you *don't know* why a certain decision feels better, you talk about that and have helped me understand how to utilize that mysterious little intuitive voice in my head and to just be mindful and have a positive and playful experience with it. I'm finding way more satisfaction and way less frustration and anxiety in the process of designing my place. 💕
