PAINT COLORS, FABRIC & SITE VISITS

Make sure to watch to the end as you won't want to miss my site visit to one of our high end residential projects that is currently under construction!!

Nice to see what a 'day in the life' is like so that people truly see the value, the time, the experience required, the 'inside the trenches' and all that it takes to make a beautiful and functional space come together...it is NOT all hanging out and picking colours or shopping... it is mostly resolving, avoiding and anticipating problems and preventing them..CHEERS to you and your team!! I lLOVE my job, and would not have it any other way...

[@KarinBohn]

xAnnabur Lol, what do you mean not having direct comments?

[@Annabur]

Karin Bohn yeah, pretty much! I love when you “talk” to us and explain what’s going on, but I already enjoy just following your regular, typical life. The direct comments are like a bonus (to me)

[@paulaconcepcion]

I'm loving your channel, I just found it last week and it's my new favorite. I really did enjoy the onsite visit, very interesting. I like how you mix your content, variety is the spice of life. I'm looking forward to the next episode of Bohnafide.

[@KarinBohn]

Karin, I absolutely love your videos and content! You are inspiring me to take my entrepreneurial desires to the next level. Thank you!!

[@amythestwaters4051]

i just want to thank you for making videos that show what goes on during the day of an Interior Designer because it is helping get an idea of what to expect when I get my degree and such. I'm like picturing the future a bit and I'm a bit nervous and scared about this. I hope it gets a bit easier in time because I have ADHD and I have a tough time with remembering and such.......

[@DevaCion.]

Love your video’s, they are so inspiring! Keep up the good work!!

[@KarinBohn]

alexe dieterman Thanks so much for watching my videos! xK

[@msl5131]

Wow, Karin..eye-opening. You definitely aren't just picking out paint colors. You have to know your shit!😁 Btw, I love seeing this integral part of the process but was a bit disappointed by the title. We didn't see any of that fun stuff😔

[@KarinBohn]

MSL5 H! Lol... you should watch my #Bohnafide series then, there’s lots of fun stuff happening over there!! 😘

[@sandylunden5782]

Kick those heels off and get her done!!! You are the real deal! IMPRESSIVE!! Love your videos!

[@ByersLeafguard]

A really good look at what your job really requires of you. Definitely not just paint colors.

[@roelanietaljaard5886]

I can't believe you already have 13K subscribers!! You are growing so fast! It felt like just yesterday I watch with the mere 1K other subs! But congrats! Its awesome!!

[@MikaelaAryanna]

SO HELPFUL and interesting to watch! Glad I found your channel ❤️

[@agorkovchenko]

Just wanted to say I found you through Robeson design videos and oh my im loving your designs!! And thanks for all the inspiration!:):) You're so genuine and just say it all how it is! Thanks for all the honesty.

[@iaminteriorsbyanamatiz]

Great video! I love how you show the true day-in-the-life of an Interior Designer. It's def a lot more than paint colors - LOL! Also, you and your team are going to absolutely LOVE Revit...I promise!!!! It's super easy to use and saves so much time. If drawn correctly, you can easily create 75% of your elevations and renderings. The only 2- down falls of Revit are the slim catalog of 3-D models and no excel integration for Schedules. Good luck, and reach out if you ever have questions. :)

[@007miamia]

Thank you for this video!! Loved it, more please❣️

[@peekinmylife7713]

I have so much to do at the moment and had to put your video on watch later. But finally making time for it cause it's always so worth it! I get so much motivation out of them! 🤩💪

[@rachelangel3327]

Karin!! I just found your channel recently and I'm enjoying your videos SO much! When will you post another home renovation update? That series is my favourite!

[@KarinBohn]

Rachel Angel Hi!! We actually just filmed another episode, it will be out VERY soon. Stay tuned! 😉

[@rachelangel3327]

YAS! Super excited, looking forward. Thanks Karin!

[@Tanny.M]

Safety gear, ladies! Accidents happen so fast, please take your safety into consideration when going to sites.... Thank you for giving everyone a proper look into this career path, its much appreciated.

[@christinacasillas3170]

I think it would be an extremely interesting video to follower your employees around and see what they do in there roles at the House of Bohn as a designer. Also to learn what their key roles are and what their​ processes are throughout a project from the view of an employee.

[@Nini-dn9lq]

You inspire me so much!💗 I’m graduating from High school this semester and planning to go into interior design school, I hope to be as successful as you one day! :)

[@martanicoleta4692]

Love your video,the way you explain every step of your work ...you are amazing :)

[@emmaaqua1392]

Keep sharing this with us its Amazing love you Karin

[@babs3971]

This really interesting video. I felt the real scene behind being what u do. Damn. Wow...great content. Thanks for sharing Karin.

[@nyclexi]

Great vlog. I’m so impressed by you.

[@lynnsyu4335]

Wow! I love this video😍. Thank you for sharing your day. I have always had questions about the English interior design professional word and I am also curious about how other countries are doing interior design work. This video is really helpful to me!

[@gioschirmer9558]

Hi Karin, I really enjoyed watching this video. A couple of weeks ago, I watched a video by Mr.Kate (not sure if you are familiar with her channel), and she mentioned being unnecessary going to school for interior design, that she became one because her friends thought she had good taste and asked for advice, so why not charge for it... As an interior design student it was very frustrating to hear that. Could you maybe talk about your thoughts on the subject on a video some day? Thank you for all the inspiration.

[@KarinBohn]

Gio Schirmer Hi! I actually just talked about this subject in another video that’s coming out shortly. Stay tuned as it’ll be on my YT channel soon and I’d be very curious to know your thoughts... ❤️

[@thesweetsceneblog3222]

I think what Mr. Kate was talking about was being an interior designer/decorator under your own brand/business. I think in your video, you spoke about being one and working for someone else...if I'm not mistaken. You said you wouldn't hire someone if they didn't have some kind of training. Mr. Kate was speaking about if you want to get into it and necessarily don't want to pay so much money to go to school, or put yourself in debt, then start off by doing your own home and friends and family's homes and then branch off from there....which is how she got started.

[@BenBennett94]

Great video series. Reminds of when the Interior group at Albert Kahn Associates would use Revit and come ask me questions.

[@stephanievaughn]

This was a great video to watch!

[@garvitagulati7129]

hey karin , love the way you work! i am also interior designer from India ..running my own business , you inspire me alot to catch all my dreams .completed 5 years of business . i am 25 now .. i hope i will be a big name like you . love you , keep inspiring

Oh and Karin, I often want to show my macho boss and job supervisor how modernized and efficient you are. Hehe it’s so old skool here, but we are super busy.

[@lizmontilla1985]

More videos like this please!!

[@jhe-jhe4297]

Hi Karin, Love your videos, very informative and lots of ideas i always got from your chanel specially i am working as Visual Merchandising Manager. More power and thank you!

[@chittinagendra5116]

Karian bhon mam so your my role model your planning also amesing so your guidance was very nice because I'm fan of you mam😍😍😍😍👌👌👌👌✍️✍️✍️ planing so amazing mam

[@MrMoskopf]

Hey Karin, i watched some of your videos today and i love them. It was always my dream to study interior design but I have a disease in seeing colours, especially red-, green- an blue-tones. Thats why i study a different subject an i hope it turns out to be the right decision... I enjoy your channel and maybe someday i can be as passionate as you are in your job. greetings from Germany =)

[@letiziacaprile]

Hi Karin, thanks for your videos!! Just a quick question, why did you decide to switch to revit? And what software were you using before?

[@lljl5310]

New subscriber!!!!! love your shoes!!!!! i like how you start your videos start by showing your shoes!!!! thank you for your video👞 👞 👞 you do such an awesome job!!!👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@amandaleeying3803]

Hey, so I was wondering, do you ever encounter issues with being a (gorgeous!) woman in a male-dominated workplace (such as construction sites)? If so, how do you deal with it? I'm a landscape design intern and let's just say men in my country are not always as polite as Canadians. PS. Love your videos, you are such an inspiration!

[@FictionInc]

Hi Karin, I love your videos. So inspiring to all the designers who want to start their own business. May I ask what software did you use before Revit? Regards from London UK

[@B.S.1612]

Absolutely enjoyed this video! It was very educational, Thanks for sharing about how important the technical aspect is in the design process..I also want to know what was the type of rendering in the paper, While u we're talking about revit ...?

[@humairakarim9107]

When you say good mourning you look so cute ♡♡♡♡

[@paco68it]

Hi Karin, very interesting videos thanks for sharing! Only one suggestion about design: have a try with Archicad, much easier and nicer results than Revit:)

[@Fashitecture]

Revit is a excellent program... once mastered but the learning process can be very grueling. Very cohesive for all the trades.

[@napturallyyours70]

This is so random, but I love your lip color. May I inquire what is the brand and shade please?

[@chittinagendra5116]

Now I am Msc computer science because I project with e space interior so your may role model mam

Love you sooooooooooo much you're my dream /raw model person😍😍😍

Fedra Megkou Awe. You’re so sweet. Thank you so much! ❤️ xK

[@AlbertoFigueroaArquitectura]

Just curious, what architect do you work with? I used to work in architecture in Vancouver area

[@myJOJA]

Question: would you describe interior design, if you have to in one word, as engineering or designing. Q2: Are you making furniture functional, are designing furniture or are you picking them out?

[@peilicia]

It's inspiring to watch you juggle both your job as an interior designer/entrepreneur and filming, but I'm curious to know if your staff is ok having a camera filming in the office as they do their work. I personally would be so distracted.

[@timico6]

I was thinking...How lucky your team is to work for you and with you P.s: so, your renderings are in Revit? That's cool... In university, we had to learn Revit for floor plan, electrical plan, etc. and 3Ds Max for renderings... Greets from Romania~

[@Mf7d89]

The blonde girl is so adorable. She looks really young, like 18

[@adefemilawal6103]

I think I just found myself a new path.

[@ahmadalameh8569]

nice work, but why they build the all the house from wood not hollow blocks or concrete

[@maemuroki966]

Hi Karin, which rendering software do you at your team use other than ArchiCAD and AutoCAD?

[@KarinBohn]

Mae Muroki Hi Mae. It depends one the project, but we use Revit, Sketchup, iRender and photoshop. ❤️ xK

[@joalirivera1802]

@@KarinBohn What kind of projects do you tend to use each software for? Also, you outfit is super adorable in this video! Love it

[@victoriagillerlain]

Never realized how much she said "kay" till this video XD

[@mikegonsalves7151]

I am surprised they don't ask you to wear hard hats when you visit the job site.

[@KarinBohn]

Mike Gonsalves I was surprised too, to be honest! We have our own but couldn’t access them that day and I was sure that on site they’d make us wear them!

[@gioschirmer9558]

Yeah, they were 100% supposed to make you wear them. Maybe they got distracted by the pretty ladies and forgot, hahahah

[@skyjezz1]

I love Revit for my school projects , but it can be super linear and appear w hard lines.

[@rutay0106]

Love the 👆poster. But on another note, isn’t Kristy’s comment about putting life in the place a lil passive aggressive? On another another note, love your videos!

[@CELIDA101]

Why did you switch over to Revit? Were you using AutoCAD before and do you feel like Revit is better for the field...Why?

[@CELIDA101]

Is it necessary for commercial design but not so for residential?

[@fedramegkou9362]

Hei I m kritika from India I m a interior designer ......Can I work with u its sounds crazy but can I......

Uhm, Ladies where are your hard hats?

[@SAMEER348122]

Sketchup is way batter for interiors then Revit getting families and also making them in revit and the final product is not as good as sketchup Revit works fine for Architecture work rather the interiors.

[@lavarockzz]

I would highly disagree. Revit is great for Interiors. Speaking from tons of Revit commerical, hospitality, and residential experience.

[@AM-gt7qg]

you work only with females .... why ?
