#BOHNAFIDE

We’re back with another episode of #BOHNAFIDE and this time I’m picking out my hardwood floors! This episode is extra exciting because we are at the Divine Flooring (www.divinefloor.com/) Showroom here in Vancouver, BC. and they just re-opened after their recent renovation done by yours truly!! I’m so excited for you to see this amazing project we just completed but to also have you help me pick the flooring for our townhouse!
Even though we did design this showroom, I have to say after actually using it to shop for my own flooring, it truly is the best flooring showroom I’ve been to (and I’ve been to many!), so if you’re in Vancouver and looking for flooring options, you MUST stop by!
I hope you enjoy this episode of #BOHNAFIDE!!! Let me know what floors you think I should go with in the comments below!!

Really loved the hardwood showroom. The design is nice and quite innovative. Loved the closets and the samples ideas as drawers.

[@bonniewong4961]

I'm loving these episodes! As a huge interior design fan I'm learning a lot :) I'm working on my own house project sometime next year and will be designing (try to anyway) the interiors myself. Thanks for all the awesome advice, I look forward to each episode!!

[@KarinBohn]

caroline irungu Hi to Kenya!! That’s SO cool that you found my channel. I’m so grateful that you did and I’m honoured that you’re watching!! I can’t wait to show you more. :) Love from Canada! ❤️💋

[@ByersLeafguard]

Zamboni has some great undertone tones in it but the Rome has all those nice rustic saw cuts. Picking floors first and designing around the floors is a great tip.

[@napturallyyours70]

I keep looking at your face, how you talk and your mannerisms. It just hit me! You look and remind me of Sandra Bullock. I just want to thank you for these beautifully, crafted and technical videos on Interior Design.

[@amiggya]

Omg why didn’t I find you sooner! Lol this is wonderful to watch and learn this! I’m currently going to graduate this spring as an interior designer. This is getting me so excited to start working in the industry! 🧡 thank you!

[@just_me_being_jess]

Currently binge watching your channel. I subscribed and started watching because I am trying to get hired by a design firm (with no experience) so I want to learn as much as I can, as fast as I can. You explain things really well and have a great sense of style.

[@shanikabell8060]

Great Content ....love your episodes!

[@lisawynn2972]

I'm binge watching Bohnafide. Love the idea of the weave vs. shag carpeting. (I'm no designer, just a fan, so I hope I'm saying this correctly 😊)

[@TahirChaudhryartist]

wow u r a genius. I have been doing construction for over 2-3 years. My wife is very into interior design and I usually watch Rebecca Robeson with her on youtube. I just found out about your youtube page today and have been watching your videos. You are doing fabulous work. I have just become your fan.

[@napturallyyours70]

O, and I love your personal fashion style!

[@carolwood9270]

Karin, I think you would enjoy Three Birds Renovations, a group of Ozzie girls doing some great Reno’s. I think that some of their designs would inspire you. (I think you would inspire them also).

[@michelleelmore3974]

Love these videos thanks for sharing

[@KarinBohn]

Michelle Elmore It makes me so happy to hear that you love these videos!! Thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏼 And thanks for your comment, it really means the world to me! ❤️ xK

[@jeanettevitor921]

hi karin you inspire to much of viewers how you working hard more power...

[@carinaoliveira5850]

Such a tough choice! I say go for either Rome or Zamboni. If you end up picking any cool hues in the countertop/tiling/cabinets, Zamboni's subtle purple undertone might contrast well. Goodluck!

[@allvena1571]

I really enjoyed watching this!

[@KarinBohn]

A l l v e n a Thanks so much for watching!! 🙏🏼 I’m so happy to hear that you liked this episode. Hope I see you around here for more!! ❤️

[@haneenelshawish2521]

thank you so much ,, this is really helpful xxx

[@annaortolan7084]

Oh Karin, in desperate need of your budget episode! Our Reno is cranking up and it's all about hardwood, tiles, taps decisions. Ps, did a trip to Camerich to check out sofas after your last vlog and have fallen for the Lazytime. Is the a good Sofa??? Keep em coming girl! Anna in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 xx

[@jeniferhartanto4640]

thank you for sharing, its very inspiring

[@veroniqueleduc1607]

Rome is truly beautiful, warm and chic!

[@designersparadise3269]

Keep up the great work!

[@judithjones9755]

Your top!!!! Where is it from? I've obsessed with it for ever and just now decided to ask.

[@jatinmistry5472]

Hello ma'am i'm from India. Your work is really great. I have just completed Diploma in interior designing course. Your videos are really helping a lot to grow forward. Please make more videos soon. Thankyousomuch for great content. Goodluck.

[@fitwithincollective9434]

Your outfits are to die for!! Where do you usually shop?

[@KarinBohn]

Lala Ivy Fitness Awe, you’re so sweet. Thank you!! I shop at a bunch of different places, but Zara, Aritzia, and Nordstrom a lot. :) ❤️

[@gutenbird]

JC Penny mostly. Also Goodwill.

[@judithjones9755]

[@tinipants2]

Love showroom wow

[@PatFromPortugal]

Great video. Congrats!

[@KarinBohn]

Maria S Thanks Maria! Did you have any favourite parts? Thanks for watching!! xK ❤️

[@helencortecero9017]

Hello Karin. Asking some much needed advice? I have an all white kitchen with a ( Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace walls)medium.gray island and stainless steel appliances. I’d like to go with a dark stain on the floors. What color stain would you recommend for the floors?? I’m looking for deep rich browns. Thank you so much for your expertise. Love watching your very informative videos!, ❤️

[@kilala7676]

Like the outfit, but those shoes- love them!!!

[@glhernan1]

Same. We’re did she get the shoes?!

[@totallydomestic433]

Fantastic show room! How nice to see the wood on the floor. It is very hard to visualize what a room full of your wood will actually look like down. I am in that process now with 4 samples at my feet. I like all 4 but have no clue what a room full if it will actually look like. Like you, i want a light floor & am leaning toward the lightest of the 4. It is such an important decision! Too costly an investment to get this wrong!😬

[@catherinefernandez9654]

This is so pretty

[@TahirChaudhryartist]

15:55 pick ICICLE cause it will bring out everything else in the rooms. White makes everything else that's next to it pop.

[@mikegonsalves7151]

I am retired now was a contractor/designer love watching your videos

[@livh2708]

Would a matte wire brushed wood be more susceptible to staining with spills? It looks so beautiful but to me it seems that it would soak in liquids or just moisture. I could be totally wrong and sound rly stupid right now lol.

[@BreezyLavender]

Karin, go with your gut! You KNOW you LOVE Rome!

[@KarinBohn]

Haha. Too funny... I think that's my top pick actually!! Thanks so much for watching! xK

[@shampoop118]

Which one did you end up going with?? I love Zamboni

[@stinehansen191]

Rome!!! Most def

[@supermomjulia]

I wouldn't be able to sleep for week, so many options

[@ckamsdesign1001]

i write from Drc in africa i loved this épisode!

[@itsNizichannel]

Hello My name is Jolie and I am interested in becoming a interior designer, so far I’ve been loving your videos which are very helpful and interesting to watch. I wanted you to make a video on how to become a interior designer one like what do you major in college,what classes do you take, and things you do on the side to help out? Please and Thank You.

[@keegan2207]

All the episodes in this series, are they similar to what you do with clients?

[@roccowalsh8049]

Your lipstick suits you Karen♥️♥️great colour on you

[@roelanietaljaard5886]

Hi Karin! Will you please be so kind to film the installation process in detail? You mentioned aspect in numerous videos that influence the installation duration and price etc. :D

[@mcresent]

Id say Rome, definitely:)

[@cheriness]

Easiest way to choose carpet: sprinkle dirt and fur and wine on the samples, rub them in, then see which is easiest to vacuum and spot clean

[@happymunchkin2812]

❤️❤️❤️❤️👍.

[@suesheification]

Rome. Hands down

[@luccabetta5238]

By the way I was born in Italy 🇮🇹 ciao bella! I like Zamboni. 😆

[@number1pappy]

Wow! After listening to her for about 5 minutes I honestly expected to see her getting destroyed in the comment section!

[@channa816]

I get excited when your videos are out. However the person behind the camera lens is out of focus on the subject and so much shaking around. I'm looking forward to more episodes!

[@KarinBohn]

thisischanna Hiya!! Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it. You’re not the first person who’s commented about the shake with our footage. It’s actually from our gear, which we’re in the process of upgrading. Stay tuned as in another few episodes we should be able to solve this problem. Thanks again for your feedback!! 🙏🏼❤️ xK

[@lorrilewis2178]

So blurry! Why?

[@zibaajami3940]

Wow, nice idea for a showroom. Your camera is shaking which is annoying :(

[@KarinBohn]

Ziba Ajami Hiya!! Yes, we’ve had a couple of people notice the shake. We’re in the process of upgrading our get so in a few episodes we should have that problem fixed. Thanks again for watching and for your feedback! xK

[@wideglide28811]

You don’t mention anything about which boards are durable if you have pets and children. Just what looks good but thank you

[@BrandNewCherrelle]

4:05 :)

[@jbugwatson8398]

Rome is the best for changing paint colors the other ones look toooo bitchy to light

[@suesheification]

No marble yuck keep it simple

[@tinipants2]

Get the real marble.....sori wrong ....everyone will know its fake ....
