[@simplyellenxo95]

I’m obsessing over these home vlogs recently…❤

[@katieford473]

I use the Planta app to track watering and fertilizing my plants! It tells you what to water when and gives little notifications!

[@CarterSullivan]

Oh this is so smart, downloading it right now!!

[@theamandadelgadillo9]

I love the way you moved your furniture around. It feels so cozy and your dining room is just so cute !

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!! 😊

[@ashleys89]

I still rearrange all the time 😅 I remember being in trouble for rearranging in the middle of the night as a kid

[@CarterSullivan]

SAME OMG my mom would be like its midnight why are you dragging your bed??????

[@ashleys89]

Yes! 😂

[@danielleheeks5817]

You always have the best thrift finds!! That Harry Potter puzzle though !! amazingggg

[@AllySof_._]

I LOVE YOUUU! AND YOUR VLOGSSS ❤❤❤

[@NicoleSams614]

Your joy and GASP at Matt made ME smile so cute

[@rachelmallory3734]

whoa - such a great thrift haul!! nice job!

[@JennaHong]

Also I love the little chat about posting relationships online, as an unfiltered and realistic creator you’re still creating those boundaries and privacy for yourself, reflecting on the bad days and even just saying yes they existed this weekend is enough ❣️ literally who wants to record and then look back and edit a fight anyways 🥹

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Carter happy Wednesday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing

[@liog324]

The house is looking amazing and so cozy!!

[@CarterSullivan]

Ah thank you so much!!!

[@sarasfaves0]

SO excitedddd for this

[@CarterSullivan]

YAY

[@outliv]

I love the way you can chat about books in front of your bookshelves now!!

[@CarterSullivan]

Its my fav spot to sit and chat!!!!

[@sharonf8188]

I love your new dining room set up!!!! Right out of a country living magazine😊

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!! 😊

[@ruerue7]

stopp that playlist for infernal devices seems so cool! i have never heard of that before!!

[@CarterSullivan]

Yea most books have playlists that people have created on Spotify that fit the vibe of the book so you can read and listen!

[@Kelky2]

I really love the new layout!

[@CarterSullivan]

Yay thank you!!

[@sarahoverstreet2895]

I heard that about Manacled!! I’m working on it audio-wise on Spotify. I also have to take breaks….its definitely intense but very good!

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Love a good thrift moment

[@CarterSullivan]

YAAASS

[@chandrareaux6700]

I love plants and I think it helps mentally to bring the nature inside. I have about 10 plants maybe. I hope all is well with you as well as your sister.

[@CarterSullivan]

Love that for you!

[@rachelmallory3734]

maybe paint the little shelf with the three hanging knobs and put a plant with hanging vines on it?

[@CarterSullivan]

I may paint it eventually but love the light bare wood feel of it (especially against our white walls)!

[@ItsMeRuffles]

I think the couch in library is such a good idea! I like the vibe better than the two chairs a lot better. Im so invested in this house 🤣

[@CarterSullivan]

Honestly I loved both vibes equally as much hahahah but the couch definitely gives it a more laid back (not so formal vibe)!

[@ashleys89]

You and Matt are adorable 🥺 Also, I relate to the plant thing. I don't not like plants, but they're definitely going to die if I have to take care of them.

[@CarterSullivan]

I relate buying plants to buying planners- I always think I'm going to use them and then I never do LOL

[@Billy33753]

The house looks homey

[@natalies9427]

Would you be able to share in a video how you paint over ikea furniture? I would like to diy furniture but are there certain steps you have to take before just painting ? (Primer,sanding down etx)

[@CarterSullivan]

I've never painted over IKEA furniture before but TikTok has some really great tutorials! I'm pretty sure the key is to just use a primer before since you're painting on like particleboard! But whenever I get around to painting some IKEA furniture, I'll make sure to vlog it!

[@simplyboppingK]

I really like your dining room, I think it looks so good! Also I respect the HELL out of you for keeping the lows of your relationship offline and not stooping to the level of talking crap about him online. It's the bare minimum but I still respect it.

[@CarterSullivan]

I think it's important to me to share that relationships HAVE lows but you don't need to share them online you know? Like no relationship is perfect and I think social media really screws with the perception of relationships sometimes. It's sad that it's the bare minimum online nowadays, to me it feels like common sense. My mom always taught me to never talk smack about someone in the heat of an argument or when you're mad (ex. Talking about a fight you had with a significant other to a friend) and I try and live by that as much as possible!

[@simplyboppingK]

EXACTLY and your mom is very very right. Good on you. It is really sad, but unfortunately people use that to profit off of. I guess some people lack that common sense. @@CarterSullivan

[@GABRIELLE_SALEM]

Love the plants. I killed my ivy and I was so disappointed in myself lol. I do have one plant that I have managed to keep alive for almost a year now. And I’m in love with your library!

[@CarterSullivan]

I'm determined to not kill these plants😂

[@GABRIELLE_SALEM]

@@CarterSullivan lol you’ve got this! 🤍

[@havenmoulds7994]

Love the guest room bedding! Do you have a link to purchase?? Thanks! :)

[@CarterSullivan]

It's from Marshalls/Winners a while back!

[@cynthiak9069]

Cute jewelry box in the spare bedroom. Where is it from?

[@CarterSullivan]

Amazon!

[@SarahSchneider2]

I would love the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday mid week work schedule to have the 4 day weekends. However it probably is better to even do a little work Monday/Friday to help with the work load a bit

[@CarterSullivan]

Yeah, so that was my initial thought. It would be nice to have a four-day weekend but I just end up working a lot more than I would if I took days off during the week.!

[@CarterSullivan]

[@BlessedByBella]

Hey Carter! Which camera and microphone do you use? And do you recommend them?

[@CarterSullivan]

I use the Sony ZV 10 & Sony shotgun mic!

[@CarterSullivan]

I use the Sony ZV 10 & Sony shotgun mic!

[@juliequick5526]

So happy that we are seeing the signs that winter will soon be over! Love your chatty vlogs x

[@CarterSullivan]

Honestly winter barely started here.. so strange!

[@lukacsnikolett]

plant mom here: for the pothos, just put them in a place and dont move them around! I know you like to move things around the house but the plant gets used to being in a specific place with specific light conditions so leave it there. water it when the pot feels light. also I wanted to comment this for a while now, the cut between the intro music and your voice is so sudden in all your videos! it would be so nice to have some transition between them, to keep the calmness that you create with the intro. anyway, l love your videos and wish you all the best!

[@CarterSullivan]

Good to know with the plants! I ended up getting an app to help me know when to water them! Hmm interesting! The music gets faded out in all of my videos to when I start talking, I purposely do it so it transitions between the music and my voice but could just be because I talk so loud and excitedly that it feels abit abrupt🤣😅 But I guess I can try to do it even more!

[@MathildeG]

I have gotten better with plants over time. Tbh I find if they give me food, I care more about them (i.e. tomato plants in the summertime). My main problem though is that my cats are idiots and eat house plants (so we can only have cat safe plants). Speaking of which Pothos are very toxic fyi, so if your dogs are idiots like my cats, watch out, otherwise you should be gucci.

[@CarterSullivan]

Yes, very aware! I always look into plants before buying them but luckily they are in high enough spots that The dogs can't get them! But this is a good reminder in case people weren't aware🤭

[@MathildeG]

unfortunately for me, cats can reach any surface lol otherwise I'd have all these cool plants
