My fiancé and I joined you and Hayden in the homeowners’ club recently and it’s so refreshing to hear you talk about how you don’t have to do every home project all at once 💕

[@chandlerainsleyvlogs]

trying to learn patience over here. it definitely pays off! and congrats ❤️

[@amyf654]

Yay! My husband and I try to do 1 big money project every year. This way we really think about what we are going to spend our money on. Plus it forces us to live in our space and not buy random furniture to fill the space with crappy made items.

[@itsprobablysummer]

i love your rambles, i love little daily or every other day vlogs. i feel like the way you process things is so similar to me, so hearing you work through things in your life is comforting and i want to assure you that you’re awesome and you are doing enough and i love your content

[@chandlerainsleyvlogs]

thank you ❤️❤️

[@pleasedtoreadyou]

ugh, youtube seems to be so fickle! i love your content on both channels and i hope traffic picks up for you. thank you for all your efforts and for taking us with you on your and Haden's decorating and DIY journey ☺

[@kimreese3530]

Love the rug. It looks more curated not having everything in beige tones. Put something with a small touch of red above the window to tie in the rug.

[@yellowluva322]

You seen just SO happy!

[@emilyihde3921]

I love your weekly vlogs! When they are 45 min to an hour they are perfect to throw on while I work from home!

[@Dina2662]

“To live a life you love takes some trial and error to figure out what that is” What a fantastic sentiment 😊 I’m also in a transition period in my life (adjusting to the realities of chronic illness and disability) and it really does help to see myself as a work in progress and to redefine what a happy life means to me, rather than seeing myself as a failure based on criteria that I don’t even think truly define happiness for me anymore anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sashabc]

I found your main channel from your KU videos, I love them!!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Ooo okay, the faucet looks good though!

[@madelinemorra1160]

You could totally do a non wired sconce or wall light fixture over the sink or in the ceiling hanging between the cabinets and put in a battery operated bulb from amazon. We did it for our living room next to our fireplace and they look fantastic and we were able to avoid ripping up a bunch of drywall. Takes 10 minutes and looks great. If you want to put in a permanent later you still could

[@chandlerainsleyvlogs]

i love seeing those hacks! but i haaaate recharging stuff 😂

[@gracmantheman]

These chit chat vlogs are the best, and I love the main channel too! You are so lovely! :)

[@cindystauffer3242]

Kitchen looks so good. Love the new rug and flowers!

[@Ravenb94]

I was loving all the uploads but you definitely have to do whatever works best for you! I loveeeee the new hair! It’s stunning.

[@AshleyRebecca]

I really enjoy these 🤍

[@aleksandradavidovic2456]

I love the rug, I love your hair and, most of all, I really love your videos, especially on this channel! I'll watch anything you post and however often you post :)

[@denisecrane9688]

I ordered custom roman shades from SelectBlinds and I love them. They have different privacy levels depending on what you're looking for and a different pull system so they don't droop. Highly recommend!

[@annajo6576]

Baby Chan jump scare! But a good one!

[@MrsCobberoni]

Love the work in progress you! We’re all ever on going works in progress, but you’re sharing it all outright! I’m here for it and support you all the way! Also, how’s Hayden doing!?

[@chandlerainsleyvlogs]

he’s really good! so busy which is why he hasn’t been in the vlog very often

[@Hleisch]

I have always loved the snippets you share of your home style. Would you mind sharing your favorite accounts that you follow for home inspo? 🥰

[@chandlerainsleyvlogs]

i don’t really follow any, i just watch xomacenna on youtube & use pinterest for inspiration

[@KitKatSam27]

YAAAASSSSS IM EXCITED

[@EarlGayTea711]

You definitely inspire me to tackle more of the DIY I want to do in my own home. I just wish I wasn't so scared to royally fuck something up when I DIY T-T

[@chandlerainsleyvlogs]

most things can be fixed! we definitely have made a ton of mistakes

[@anjleep]

you could also put a piece of art in the space over the sink! even if it's just temporary until you do eventually get the hardwiring done

[@chandlerainsleyvlogs]

i thought about it! but since we have that huge landscape next to it, i'm not sure what kind of art i'd put above the sink (i'm kinda picky lol)

[@amyd714]

❤

[@47sabrine]

why not try hello fresh for ur meal planning, that way you take away the hussle of shopping for food and u can cook more diverse things

[@chandlerainsleyvlogs]

we’ve done it in the past. my husband is just a more advanced cook and gets bored with their repeated seasoning combos. and if i’m cooking for myself i want it to take less than 30 minutes

[@cindicleee]

❤❤

[@morganlg_]

Your necklaces in the last clip are so cute! Where are they from? 🤍

[@chandlerainsleyvlogs]

thanks! they're kinda spendy cause they're 14k gold. the flower is from james avery and the other necklace is from ferkos.

[@bethhannam722]

First here yay
