HOME UPDATE: I got a sofa. I got chairs. I hung art. COME OVER AND HANG OUT WITH ME.

[@cd2659]

This is 100% the type of video I am hoping for as you decorate the new pad.

[@kennykay5707]

agreed

[@erinluijkx6788]

same!

[@jnic2649]

Yup 👍🏻

[@hopewhitaker2446]

Same here! This is a really cool format.

[@susanburns4297]

me too!

[@melanienorstrom5121]

This is a great decorating video. I love seeing the process, not just the reveal. I learned about putting the two pics close together, that was neat. You are making some of the best decorating content on KZbin, keep doing you!!!!

[@wasselpa]

thank you!!

[@londonhasfallen7786]

Love this style of video. It is very chill. I also weirdly like the lack of closure that came with it.

[@wasselpa]

I’m glad people are liking it because I loved making it!

[@CT1010101]

I'm only at minute 4:11, I don't know if I can handle the lack of closure!!

[@rmonson5002]

Same.

[@kennykay5707]

agreed!

[@brookehannahellis]

haha love the lack of closure, keeps me comin' back!

[@Marybarfield64]

I definitely think you should do more of this type of video.

[@wasselpa]

YAY

[@WeLiveByTheSea]

Paige you never need to justify spending your money on your home. We all have our own priorities for our budget. The amount you would spend on a sofa will seem expensive to some and cheap to others. All that matters is that it's within your budget and you like it. Other people's budgets and taste is neither here nor there. You do you and enjoy it

[@lucareginareczey4540]

I had to stop this video in the middle because suddenly I had the feeling of putting all my art on the wall. For real. I was waiting to do it for months. For me, putting pictures or art on the wall is very scary for some reason. But it's necessary for the cosy feeling. And I have a lot of art (lot of them made by me). Thanks to Paige they are all up on the wall now, and it looks great. You are very inspirational!

[@charlottejones9867]

All I do is wait for Paige to post more videos about furniture in her new bungalow

[@champagnemommy]

First thing I said when I saw this vid come out was, “yes, I’m definitely interested in this” 😊

[@abigailmyers9472]

I'm so glad you switched the two for the one picture. Having just the one feels right. :) Also, the other pictures pop really nicely on the green wall.

[@tgime1]

Yes! Both looked good but I definitely preferred the final choice :)

[@priscalynne8804]

I was once told that when you purchase a really nice, pricey piece don’t cheap out dressing it up. It deserves the nice finish. It was hard to embrace that given my bargain-hunting nature but I do see the wisdom. Spend the extra when it makes sense to make things look fabulous.

[@susanvelez6534]

I actually love the pattern on the sofa you can have it steam cleaned and bring it home and take your time looking for fabric. ILOVE the fabric you purchased for curtains

[@rmonson5002]

Yeah, I would wait to see the piece in the space before I selected a fabric. Sometimes seeing it in the space draws you in a direction you didn't expect to go. And the original fabric will feel different at home than in the store. Buuuuuut don't listen to me, I agonize over EVERY design decision. It takes me a minute to pull the trigger. Especially with "big ticket" items.

[@lonenugget4301]

Kinda like the original fabric too! I would wait to see what it looks like in your home before reupholstering. Fabric in your home will look much different in your home than the store.

[@jmbisme]

Totally agree with this!

[@amiesparkle00]

@@rmonson5002yes I agree. It should live in the space first but that’s kind of inconvenient tho.

[@rmonson5002]

@@amiesparkle00 yeah it definitely is. Moving furniture back and forth is an ordeal.

[@ashd2799]

Really glad you switched the art. Good call, and all the green is exactly why those green frames should go there! I love that

[@liessid]

this makes me feel less crazy for the time it takes to get things right and how often my first ideas don’t work out. plus so helpful to see you problem solve. 🙏

[@gabriellastewart8547]

We have pretty different interior design styles but I have been inspired so much by your content. Thanks for helping me to find my own style!

[@poppysydney3564]

Yes I like this video and format. I like the way you talk through everything- we don't just see the piece you finally choose and the end result. Thats boring. I like hearing why you do what you do and why something isn't suitable etc. Love your flat Paige- I love the blinds, the floor, the kitchen tiles, the free standing bathroom sink... so much character already! Great find x

[@lorischaeffer3174]

Really liked hearing your thought process and how you change and evolve things. That’s real life. The best homes are curated over time. Keep doing more like these please!

[@mh1211x]

I kinda love the 2 chairs to actually be in front of your front window (where you’re putting your couch), instead of your couch blocking that view. Plus I always love the idea of setting 2 single chairs in-front of a window just to stare out of it lol 😌 (that’s just me putting in my two cents that doesn’t matter lol)

[@wasselpa]

I thought of this! I decided I am going to try both spots

[@awifeinterrupted]

Yeah, for furniture, you've got to focus on upholstery weight fabric. But if the fabric you bought is "drapey" enough it might make some nice window treatments. You've got a really nice place. 😊

[@kvangaver9226]

I love watching you scowl at things that irritate you and how you just keep moving forward. I think these type of videos where you walk us through your thought process are interesting. The single picture hung next to the door looks way better than the two small pictures. Your place is so nice.

[@mus1cman7]

loved this type of video - especially the changing of your mind/plan throughout! feels very real and like a cool glimpse into your actual design process vs. looking at a polished finished product.

[@reham_7849]

love these videos bc they don’t feel too fast! plus it’s nice to see your process on the little things 😌

[@n.l.s.4346]

Would love a career type vid on how you became a prop stylist and how you’d advise someone trying to get into the industry!

[@michelleg1461]

Loved the video. I think 20 minutes is the perfect length too. I appreciate little tips like hanging frames closer together. Keep explaining the why behind choices from colors, sizes, and style.

[@Charlee245]

Thanks for being honest about the prices! It helps when deciding when to invest in something and when to upcycle or make yourself.

[@loug8186]

I like to see your process in choosing fabric, styles, placement etc….makes me feel more confident that it’s not easy and everyone has to do some trial and error. You made me laugh so much when you sort of shuddered at your clothing/mic mishaps…love that you are so real! Cant wait to see how your couch and chairs turn out!

[@MC_Hammerpants_]

LOVE these videos. Good job moving the pictures. They all look perfect now.

[@pegm5937]

I'm liking this content. It's too bad that the shopping part weirds you out because I enjoy seeing that process. (And, Paige, ya can't just grab any old fabric for couches and chairs. You generally need upholstery fabric, which I kept explaining to the screen as I watched.) But, yeah, fun! The process, the thinking, it's like being a part of an experience. And! I'm so glad that you pointed out the closer together rather than far apart with the two pics. Good to know.

[@Springer_Mom]

Don’t settle or skimp on the fabric for the sofa, it needs to be upholstery quality. I know West Elm is not for you but they sell their upholstery fabric by the yard and it’s not that pricey. I know you liked the distressed velvet in the color called “dune” because you commented on it in another video. It’s what I have on my couches and I felt so validated when you said that the fabric was nice 😂 I’m kinda regretting not getting them in “golden oak”, though.

[@sadflowers]

The bent wood of the sitting chairs are amazing and an instant classic that will never go out of style, but also would fit with any setting really. They quietly draw attention without distracting from the more ornate pieces of the room. The streamlined art deco essence is going to be great for tying in your modern and traditional pieces. Great find!

[@chicky6three]

I am sobbing over the change in sofa upholstery. I gasped with joy when I first saw it. me

[@landlockedsailor]

Yes! This was EXACTLY the kind of video I was hoping for! I love where the two pictures from Paris ended up and the bigger piece at the entrance. Also (my two cents only) I'd bring the couch home and start using it while you search for the right upholstery fabric so you have time to find something you love (and you have a couch in the meantime!) And the green/gold fabric you bought I think would be terrific for curtains or an upholstered headboard.

[@ericaaaa7036]

There’s something so cool and unique about these videos. In a world where everything is staged and fake and produced this is just so refreshing!

[@MrSolonyc]

Those chairs are fully amazing. Looking forward to seeing your choice of fabric for reupholstering them.

[@jmbisme]

I liked this video format, it is kind of like hanging out with you and fun! I also like when you sit and review things and give your opinion on items/rooms/homes, whatever. It’s nice to have a good mix of different types of videos. Editing to agree with others who have commented about waiting on reupholstering the sofa until you have had a chance to have it home. Take your time…its some of the best advice you have given to others.

[@amandawoods4051]

Yes love this kind of video... Could watch all day actually.. you are a breath of fresh air to me here on KZbin and also hugely grateful for the wonderful lack of music and staging, your content is always perfect x

[@craigmerkey8518]

Cool, going the the fabric district is always a fun adventure!

[@AdriWiid]

I adore this style of video. It's like spending time with a friend while she decorates her space (while receiving great decorating tips).

[@coriwarren1]

tbh i love these vlog-esque decorating videos so much, they’re so chill and comforting

[@sylviashanabrough6515]

I do like the format and would enjoy seeing more like this. I agree about the placement of the art too. It is easier to decide what works when looking at a video. I figured that out when trying to get my house ready for an appraisal. I would work in an area then photograph it. That way I could tell if the space was too cluttered or if it needed more. I hope you will take us along on the journey of designing your new space.

[@hannajane]

I love this type of video! It makes me want to move stuff around in my place, get furniture reupholstered, etc.

[@shireenriazikermani1894]

Love this style of video, Paige! I love seeing the process and the struggle because that is so relatable! And I literally lol’d at the mic and sweater chaos 😂

I like the honesty of your process. Makes it approachable and easygoing. My favorite thing about your decor so far is the vignette above the kitchen wooden counter, wood lamp and the picture you just hung 🤩

The sofa is perfect as it is! It is sooo dreamy! Please, please, please, don’t reupholster it Paige! Loved the ol’ switcheroo you did on the art pieces, they are perfect now. May I also second the idea of a large mirror over the mantle as someone has already suggested? Great video, can’t wait to see the sequels!

I had to comment. I had soooo much fun watching this video. I needed this. I spent some time today with a little hammer like you hanging a couple pictures in my mothers assisted living home for the winter. Good will finds but it cheered me up to hang a picture or two.

This is perfect and I could watch videos like this all day. I love seeing you make decisions in real time. I love how down to earth you are, like a friend asking for opinions.

[@ITcanB]

Keep in mind the color of the floor when choosing your fabric color, the green is almost the same value as the floor ,contrast makes things look better,of course you mentioned you will buy a rug ,but the idea would be the same with a rug.

[@rmonson5002]

Yeah, I say get the rug first.

[@jayceeb3142]

Great content. Really enjoyed it! Can’t wait to see the actual furniture in the space.

[@Peinaj]

Love this style of video. The orange small art pieces in the green frames are soo good.

[@MadGroovyHome]

I’m 7 minutes in and have also been through extensive upholstery research!! I think the fabric you picked up is more drapery fabric so you could make some curtains or accent pillow cases with that :) In the future Modern Fabric has AMAZING upholstery fabric like Knoll, West Elm salvage, etc, for great prices!!

[@lin2thez341]

As someone who used to own a home store, you need an upholstery fabric with a higher rub rate. As a consumer now I like Tonic Living as I don’t have a fabric district.

Super fun video! I reupolstered a couch and spent a bit on very sturdy fabric and look forward to it being an investment piece. I have also been moving art and rearranging furniture constantly - it brings joy to redesign my space! Can’t wait to see the couch and chairs in place!

[@leodominguez8043]

Definitely love this Paige, The way you show how to style stuff in this video is perf, literally the way you free hung those pictures reassures me that I can style my place freely if that makes sense. Love your new space tbh, every time I move to a new space the daunting task of where to hang pics, where to place this candle holder, or where to place this book on the shelf always haunts me. Low key the way you just said F-it lets hang this shhhhii.

[@cecisnyder4598]

Love this style. I would love to see more videos about your decorating process and furniture shopping!

[@ikka7787]

I know nice fabric is expensive, but it will be worth it in the long run. As you said, you are investing in these pieces for the future! A cheaper, thinner fabric will wear down faster than an expensive, more heavy duty fabric that is made for upholstery. Plus it would make the pieces look cheap too if you use cheap fabric... And keep in mind that you need fabrics that has at least 20.000 martindale.

[@rebeccalowry9296]

I think the fruit art would look great on your mantle and be an unexpected pop of color.

[@OldLadyInFL]

You don't need to make them better. They're honest and real and raw. I love them! Also love your couch so much.

[@mildanae3992]

I used to work at a furniture company, I'd always take fabric samples and tuck them into/around the sofa perfectly/tightly on one side so you can get a decent idea of what it might look like!

[@HeyAnnabell]

Paige, this is awesome! I just moved into my first ever home with my boyfriend (first time living without mom besides dorm life). I too am in desperate need of furniture! We only have our mattress and a little foldable bed cushion thing. I feel like it’s perfect for me that you’re also moving into an unfurnished house at this time. I’m having so much fun!! Lol

I do enjoy seeing your process of decorating your place from scratch. Also enjoy the viewers home reviews. keep it all coming!

[@natashalindner2059]

I feel that too, I have bought a cottage in a river town in Australia, and walking through the colour on the walls is 80s. So buying paint yesterday - any paint will look better that what it is, so I ended up with a neutral grey, and then a mint colour for the living room. I think I went with the mint because it is so fresh and I am starting there, anyway paint is paint and seriously anything is better than what is there (we have been calling it baby poo yellow)!

[@littleislandabode9211]

[@Alice_Walker]

I ditched all my old furniture before I moved into my current apartment. Definitely understand the exhaustion/frustration. Maybe the fabric would make good curtains. It looks like it has a lovely drape ✨

[@chericieslak4719]

I love this format and the reasoning you give for what you do. Can’t wait to see how the sofa and chairs turn out.

[@juliaandersson7479]

I think the art on the mantelpiece could benefit from having a wooden or dark frame. The bright white frame makes it feel a little like it's just hanging in the air and doesn't tie the wall hanging lamps and the fireplace together. Do you have some large painting with a darker frame that you could try?

[@nellafrosst6453]

I do like this format. I enjoy seeing/hearing your thought process as you shop and try things out in your home. Please do more of these as you continue to style your home. Also I love that you love green. I have been a lover of green in my spaces since I first decorated my own place many years ago. Almost sad that green has become a bit trendy lately.

Regarding your microphone situation: You can add a „lavalier microphone“ onto your microphone (I guess the rode wireless go?), so that you can put your little black box into your pocket and the „lavalier microphone“ through your pullover.

[@janellelives5158]

I love this video format! It’s interesting seeing your interior design process and decisions in real time.

[@sissimonster]

I gasped when you said you were reupholstering because the original sofa fabric is so good! SO GOOD. if it had the green beige color as original fabric, I would pay to have the current original fabric upholstered. I also think the mellow print is more interesting than the solid color.

[@toneluy8343]

Its good but.. old fabric is kinda gross. I think anything you cant put in a washing machine should be reupholstered.

[@marthahagen-black8820]

Couldn’t agree more. Original fabric so much better. You can have it cleaned. And watch out and chose something that is appropriate for upholstery- weight, fabric content is super important if you are shopping someplace that doesn’t list content and Wyzenbeek or Martindale test results. Shop at upholstery fabric stores/ showrooms, not clothing fabric.

[@maaamiii6918]

I like this kind of video a lot. Your spontaneous thought process on design decisions and droll asides make them so entertaining in addition to being instructive. Your vids check many more boxes than design so just keep doing what you feel like doing. We're here for it.

[@lovelylotus8787]

I’ve been watching for awhile and like this style of video. I go through the same process when hanging art (should I measure or can I wing it. Lol) Honestly it just takes time to get the ‘feel’ of a home and move everything to where it fits right. We’ve moved a few times (military family) and I can’t wait until we finally buy a home and settle down because then I feel like I can invest in nicer things and really makes our home ours. Just don’t feel like it now because we have small children and furniture/pieces have gotten damaged throughout our moves. I’m excited to see your home progress!
