my thoughts on home brand collaborations ..

[@madelynn-delarosa]

YAAAY! Congrats on the new place, can’t wait to see all of your home decor videos 💘🥲💘

[@forestgreene1771]

Before Echo Park and those neighborhoods were “artsy” they were predominantly BIPOC communities there. Hopefully there’s an awareness of that in becoming a resident and a choice to actively contribute to the standing businesses and communities there as many families are being priced and pushed out. I’ve been a follower since 2020 and really enjoy your content. When I think about interiors, I also think about housing and its inequities as well as affordability of “good” interior design. I hope there’s space for healthy dialogue around this aspect of interiors because you’ve built a wonderful community. Cheers!

[@alittlebitofjessica]

I know Echo Park and neighboring areas have seen rapid gentrification in recent years- which is not necessarily a bad thing but it’s definitely lost some of its original character as a result. I know Paige wanted to show her parents neighborhood in a recent video (but didn’t over privacy concerns), so it would be cool to see the more diverse side of EP/SL in a video from her point of view since she seems excited about it :)

[@nellel2554]

@@alittlebitofjessica interesting to plainly say that gentrification isn't necessarily a bad thing... there is notable change that happens to the area and maybe that's what doesn't seem so bad, but do you realize that with gentrification means people get pushed out of their community? and by people, particularly lower income minorities. I know that they do not go around saying that gentrification isn't necessarily such a bad thing when the wealthy folks spot this cool neighborhood and take up space and drive up costs which pushes the minorities out... Gentrification is not a good thing unless you are privileged

[@hereforit2347]

Traditionally there were very few Black people in those neighborhoods, but I’m with you. They were predominantly Mexican. Boyle Heights, Echo Park, and all the older L.A. neighborhoods are rapidly gentrifying. Los Feliz, Silverlake and those towns really signify old L.A. in a palpable way. Some of L.A.’s best Spanish Colonial homes are there as well as hills, views, downtown adjacency, etc. Just like in other major cities across the country, the culture is disappearing. Developers are tearing down the old courtyard bungalow apartments from the teens and 20s that were once a Los Angeles architectural staple to build ugly, soulless high rise apartments that all look alike and have zero green space. I’m thankful to have been here when people in suburbs like Compton, Watts, Pasadena, Glendale, and Altadena had livestock and rode horses to the supermarket. I lived in Santa Monica during the 60s and early 70s where I went to school with indigenous kids and the beaches were clean. Bunker Hill, Santa Monica, and other neighborhoods had old Victorian mansions that have since disappeared. My grandmother taught piano and sometimes dragged me along to peoples homes when we stayed with her for a week or two during the summer or Christmas holidays. She lived in Altadena, we lived on the west side, but as a kid I got to see all sorts of homes in Baldwin Hills, South Central, Pasadena, and other areas because of her.

[@alittlebitofjessica]

@@nellel2554 Yes, there’s a substantial downsize to gentrification, when investors look at a place and say, “this place is valuable, but the people there are devaluing it- let’s get different people in,” and drive prices up so only the upper-class can afford it. But gentrification is a byproduct of evolving economies and has been happening for many decades. It’s a cyclical process. Artsy, young working professionals (like Paige) move to a poor, crime-ridden neighborhood> the area becomes cool and attracts investors> investors create better housing options, improved infrastructure, new retail, increased security> developers buy out lower-end and increase prices> artsy young working professionals are priced out> the rich start moving out because the neighborhood is no longer cool> prices drop and the cycle starts all over again. Sometimes this cycle happens within a decade, sometimes it lasts 50 years, sometimes more. But the cycle can be expected. Folks should be incentivized to want to contribute to their next neighborhoods :)

[@headerahelix]

​@@alittlebitofjessicaIt's a bit scary how you write about it as if it's some inevitable fact of life and skip over the people who are forced into worse and worse living situations with less and less community resources. You're writing about this as if this has always been the case when the poorest only got freedom from slavery just over a century ago in some places. There is no point in your cycle where the impoverished ever benefit. The smiley face too, that's so eerie. The fact of the matter is, the wealthy are enriching themselves whilst the rest of us suffer.

[@belorama8]

I understand what you're saying about The House of Hackney Collab on a very quick first impression basis, but it's actually a VERY different vibe from Jungalow... One is "let's have a cheap neon girls night someplace tropical" and House of Hackney is specifically Victorian heritage prints and fabrics. They specifically get to distribute and update original arts and crafts textile patterns and the fabrics they were importing in the 17 and 1800s. Arts and crafts colors and prints and pieces were about against consumption, having real "honest" unique furniture, and respecting the natural world. VERY different vibes.

[@Notnatasha]

My British heart broke the second she said that

[@rz1974]

different but just as busy/loud

[@belorama8]

@@rz1974 like I said I get what she's saying on cursory look, Especially because she prefers more clean lines, but there is a difference between busy and ornate.

[@AthalieM]

I agree. I also don’t agree that Colin King/Athena Calderone are like Amber Interiors or “California style”. Neither is for me but still. Sometimes these videos are really incisive and sometimes they are …not very informed and very dismissive.

[@wasselpa]

just my opinions y’all

[@Golden0ise]

Hi Paige, can you do a video on how your career path and how you got to where you are today? Love your videos!!

[@lauratea]

I think that’s a great idea! Let’s hope Paige agrees and doesn’t mind sharing how she got where she is now.

[@hllymchll]

I think she did a few months ago iirc 🤔

[@olenabi]

I think she tells a lot in the video called “HOME UPDATE: chairs have been reupholstered, life Q+A…”. I’ve shared it with my daughter who is not really sure which career she would like to pursue.

[@Drea3000]

Lenny’s collab with CB2 makes sense if you’ve seen his Brazilian Farm tour on AD. ☺️

[@nellel2554]

yes, i love his home. somehow his fabric headboard for his bed stuck with me. it's a gorgeous place and lots of top notch design.

[@vaderladyl]

Yes lovely place!

[@rachelcarter2443]

Isaac Mizrahi did an amazing collaboration with target 20 years ago that was amazing.

[@awesomelife3710]

I bought his huge red poppy shower curtain 😍

[@mj_harv]

Really loved this one, wouldn'tt mind seeing another collaboration video, Liked the longer format. Congrats on the home! CANT WAIT for al the videos to come.

[@chichiblanchett6367]

lenny is very involved in interior design, he designed several public spaces for luxury nyc buildings.

[@Notnatasha]

His house tour brings me so much peace 🙌 his collection was very much him too, which we love to see

[@Carolll9]

He’s also designed a few spaces for hotels in Miami Beach.

[@vaderladyl]

Yes I loved his house tour.

[@theophrastuscarnegie6242]

Target is really the company that started the design collaboration approach beginning with Michael Graves over 20 years ago! 🎯

[@wasselpa]

thattttt is true!

[@jmbisme]

That is exactly what I was thinking! Came to the comment section to see if anyone had pointed it out.

[@hsmd4533]

I worked at the Target headquarters then and helped with that collab! I got to meet MG and still have some of the products.

[@wallywaffles1333]

Cannot wait to see the videos about your new place. As someone who has just moved to a new place, I would love for you to do process videos - figuring out a floorplan, color scheme, making your moodboards -- all of it! Was super waiting for you to talk about Drew Barrymore's line at walmart. I kinda love her.

[@PhilippaBiddle]

If you get the floor candlestick, don't put it by a window as shown and add glass candle cup things (technical name?). Made that mistake and spent a weekend cleaning wax off the floor.

[@CT1010101]

Who can afford $395 for a roll of wallpaper, but also wants something Barbie branded in their home? I feel like there is no overlap there.

[@MaeBarronMusic]

Trixie Mattel. She is the only one.

[@lulubelle65]

This is a ramp up to the Barbie Movie that’s coming out. There a a big community of people who collect the designer Barbies. I’m sure they’ll be all over that.

Just makes me realize how poor I am, Paige's "affordable" is my pretty freaking expensive!!

[@vaderladyl]

All of these stuff is overpriced anyway.

[@bertarovira]

Hi Paige, I really enjoyed your parent's home tour and in general all the videos you do. I am in the process to move in with my boyfriend and I have been finding challenging to blend our both styles together and finding a common color scheme (he is more of a dark academia maximalist and I am more of a Scandinavian-meets-colorful-British). It would be great to see your take on mixing personal styles AND how you would create a color scheme for the home. Loving your style, always inspires me! best, Berta

[@constanzeli9915]

Congrats on your new home! I'm looking forward to your home decorating videos so much!

[@skelellele4256]

Can you make a video about how much furniture should cost or the make up of things? I love so many items but I haven’t figured out the pricing market!

[@kittiegramfrfr]

I’ve been following you from Wa State just since Spring of this year. Been waiting for this video 😊 The attention to detail has so paid off! You two are a great team! I smiled all the way thru this!! Beautiful work, well done!

Lenny Kravitz has a spectacular home in Brazil. It was featured on AD.

We had the most glorious rain in LA this morning and it actually feels like fall. But cherish the rain because since coming West I've been missing New York weather more than I thought I would.

Lenny Kravitz has a really successful interior design company called Kravitz Design. He’s worked with a lot of major clients and also flips properties worldwide. Great channel btw. Native Chicagoan here. ❤️

[@hereforit2347]

In 2005 Target collaborated with Thomas O’Brien who had a line of furniture, linens, and decor called “Vintage Modern”. I’d moved into a 1930 Spanish in late 2002 and bought some of his tea towels, pot holders, and dish cloths to go with my kitchen. They are 100% cotton and made in Turkey. They have held up beautifully. I mean, not even a loose thread. You won’t find kitchen linens that stylish or high quality these days without paying top dollar. I treasure them TBH. ❤

[@lisabottiglieri6632]

When you got to commenting on Ruggable ‘collabs’ was hilarious! 😂 “…kids are dirty!” “…people that like Star Wars would…also have a washable rug in their game room!” 😂😂😂 love it - congrats on the new place 🎉 bought or rented? Can’t wait x

[@missknisely]

Excited for the new home decorating content - congrats! Also, the Our Place collab with Selena Gomez is likely because she has a popular show called Selena and Chef where she's basically following along with chefs from her actual kitchen.

I can't help but notice that you have stuff in your shopping cart from these decor websites lol Would you do a "what's in my shopping cart?" type-video :P ? I am curious to see what you actually are thinking of or on the verge of buying for your home, or prop styling jobs,etc. thx!

Check out EQ3 in Chicago or California when you have a chance. I was a design consultant there for sometime. Great curation of items either made in Canada or sourced from Canada. Upholstery is custom made, so you can be as classic or funky as you desire. Style wise it’s mid century meets danish.

Los Angeles is a mixed bag, on one corner you have the trendy, artsy hangout spots, and on the other you have homeless tents made of bicycle parts. The city has really gone downhill in recent years, it’s so trashy it’s sad. And then there’s the traffic problem that doesn’t get any better but hey, I’m glad Paige is happy, maybe I’ll spot her someday and ask for an autograph 😝

[@Siansonea]

I'm a Barbie collector, and 90% of the stuff in these collabs is a solid nope. For one thing, my decor isn't Barbie-esque, my dolls are confined to certain areas of the house, not my 'public' areas, so I don't have a lot of space that would even be available for Barbie branded items. I don't want my house to look like an 80s Toys 'R Us store. Most of the framed art photography isn't that great, to be honest, I photograph these dolls all the time and I would prop style them waaaaay better. Their "Magic Moves Barbie" print isn't even Magic Moves Barbie, it's Crystal Barbie. Did they think no one would notice? And she's not even wearing the right shoes. I don't know who buys this stuff. 😒

[@laurakay588]

I love this! personal style is everything, your house must be cute!

[@Siansonea]

@@laurakay588 I think it's pretty fun. I inadvertently chose a paint color in 2009 that is pretty hot right now, so it looks more current than ever. 😆

[@awesomelife3710]

John Derian did a super cool collaboration with Target two years ago for Halloween. It was unique and tasteful. Nothing like the typical “spooky/cutesy” Halloween tchotchkes that fill most stores year-after-year. His work sells for hundreds of dollars in his website as well as in Neiman-Marcus. Levi’s also had a fun collab with Target in the past two years. Things they don’t usually sell, such as folding chairs and bedspreads, ceramic platters with the trademark blue jeans colors.

[@luvslagos]

The John Derian x Target collab was my favorite! The items were true to his style and allowed me to get his pieces at an affordable price.

[@debvalle7466]

I’m just shouting out for the Los Feliz ‘hood! I lived there as a teen in 1979-81. It was not hip/artsy then 😊 More hippie/working class. I loved it and have wonderful memories. Can’t wait to see your new Spanish bungalow! I’m sure it’s awesome 🎉

I personally love the collabs especially from extremely high-end brands, designers and influencers. Many of these are trying to be more relatable and tap a different market. Though many pieces may not be for me, I realize there is a market. I buy these unique pieces, once they are on clearance of course, and if no one else has it, it’s uniquely mine. Those target pieces are now collectors items! Anywho I’m down for it!

As always, something might look okay in a photo, but how well is it made? Will it hold up?
