REVIEWING MY SUBSCRIBERS HOMES | Ep 4

[@brandy495]

Paige, new AG on Emma Chamberlain. Her new home is so much less boring the her other ones!? We need thoughts!!!

[@flatbalcony1478]

I feel like we all thought the same thing when AD posted this lol

[@cambmw93]

Watched it. Kinda feel like it's more of what she thinks people think she should like (aka a designer came in and did it all).

[@flatbalcony1478]

@@cambmw93 interesting take, might be difficult for her to isolate from that because her personal life is so intertwined with strangers/followers being a part of it

[@AthalieM]

@@cambmw93 agree -- though she definitely had bits of quirk and whimsy in there that seemed all her (though those pieces, like the damn corn cob tables, were the parts that were absolutely not my taste lol)

[@nulajamir5768]

Also the Demi Lovato one. I want to know Paige’s take on that one.

[@kayelle8005]

Congratulations to the first subscriber for filming her space so well. Most people don’t move the camera slowly enough. Thanks for that and I like how you have created a comfortable, interesting space.

[@WillomineLano]

You do such a nice job of giving helpful tips.And,you are so nice and sweet in your advice!!!

[@nurmiza1995]

I think it would be so cool if you did a video on how you became a prop stylist and the upsides and downsides of it all. I personally would love to see that since I actually never knew that could be a career. Love you videos btw

[@jenkenj]

Yess!!! I second this!! :)

[@kimberlycecil8692]

These are probably my favorite videos because it is a peak into real homes, most likely brand new along with pieces gathered from college, travel, mom & dad leftovers, or Grandma's antiques, thrifting, etc. To me, the editing of art and accessories and seeing what people choose is sooo personal, and its the real punch to a great room. Both these homes had great art & accessories, and your suggestions at lowering or making pieces closer were what felt right! The records were bothering me, then you said, make it rows of 5....exactly, odd numbers, you named what I couldn't!

[@jengirl2]

Love seeing real lived-in homes and hearing your witty critiques.

[@liv_ryan]

for the first home i feel like all they need is a couple throw pillows all around... everything is perfect its def just needing some throws and a throw blanket here and there. mixing the textures. all black would look great. I love all the furniture!!

[@ArtichokeHunter]

if you ever want to do a disaster home version where you try to salvage things, i'd submit for that. "realistic" is all relative, i honestly can't imagine having my shit as together as these homes

[@TS-yd6cn]

Hahaha I love it. Same! I think there are salvageable items in my decor but that's about it 😆

[@leonore3349]

I feel like the people who submit know they have nice homes and they're just flexing:)

[@paulineandunicorn]

@@leonore3349 this!!!! absolutely agreee

[@clemencec3790]

I'd gladly submit too 🥲

[@organize1979]

This sounds like a great idea!

[@KyleePicc]

I love the maximalist look in other peoples spaces, but in my own home I have to go minimalist and clean lines or my ADHD is constantly going crazy. I would love a video on how to make a simple space more exciting!

[@cass6020]

I have a bunch of friends who are very maximalist in their styles, I'm in that college/ mid twenties age so I feel like that's kinda common in my age group, and it's awesome to stare at as a guest but I can't handle visual chaos in my own space

[@brndn-t1r]

absolutely this. i'm in the same boat.

[@Eleonoor]

Art on your walls. Use a gallery wall system (meaning wires you hang the paintings on, instead of using nails in the wall. I don’t know the English term but if you look up “painting hanging system” it should pop up.) It doesn’t get in the way. You don’t have to move it to clean. You can easily get rid of it if you want to change things up/ calm things down. For me, and my ADHD, it works.

[@HoloSun96]

My way of making a simple space more exciting is using color and lights. For example, an accent wall in a color you like adds warmth and personality without feeling cluttered and without adding more things you need to clean. Lights: different lamps at different heights, especially ones that you can dim. They add a ton of coziness and can have cool designs while still being functional. And you can dim them and/or switch them on/off based on your mood and energy levels.

[@chandaharkins4418]

I don't have ADHD, but I do gravitate towards a minimal home. Like you, I really appreciate the cozy look of these more eclectic homes, but I feel like if I try it, it won't look right without a bunch of STUFF. :)

[@taylorleeanneking]

I have recently started prop styling! And I know you’ve mentioned that you’re not sure what videos to make about prop styling- so I thought maybe a Q&A about it????? 1. What is in your kit for every shoot. 2. How do you book jobs, through a company? Or do you just have great personal relationships and book directly? 3. Where do you store your props? Do you buy “new” (including vintage) for each shoot? 4. Do you have a really definitive prop style? Or do you often have to pivot for different designers to better match their style? 5. What is your best advice to a beginner in the industry? I hope I’ve inspired some ideas!! 🤩

[@Carolll9]

The first home has beautiful bones. My two cents are that the seating is too matchy matchy. In the sun room, the couches are from the same set and in the living room the couch and the lounge chair are both black leather. They should mix it up.

[@connielorenz8329]

Love this series. Real homes and you are so practical with how people really live.

[@khamillej2680]

In Camelia's house, I would love to see the desk under the window and the bed scooted over to the left a little too! I'm in the same boat as her... I don't think desks in bedrooms are sexy but it's a necessary thing for our space right now. I love her home!!! She did a really great job.

[@flatbalcony1478]

Yesss this is my favourite series of yours!! One day I’ll be in it watch me go

[@nancyevans1278]

You have a wonderful way of critiquing in a positive way, which no doubt encourages your viewers to seek out your advice.

[@christophermendez295]

That terracotta tile is beautiful 😍

[@Lauren-ud1ec]

Paige, these are my favourite videos you do. It is SOOO helpful to see when you recommend for ‘normal’ homes and people. Would you ever consider doing a ‘mini’ version for single rooms or objects? I want your opinions on light fixtures 😅

[@manana6646]

Yay, thank you for choosing an appartement in Switzerland!! We definitely don't have the same huge houses you do have in the us so it was very interesting! 🤗👍🏻👍🏻 And yesss, congrats on the growth of your channel!!

[@daniellewert6864]

Those tables she had in her sunroom (Maggie's home) are the tables I had growing up as a kid in the 90s!!! Seeing them brought me back, so cool!

[@donnabednarczyk786]

This was fun! My dream night is rearranging furnishings too! I think your suggestions in this video were right on the mark.

[@16PurpleRaindrops]

I would love to hear more about how you got started as a prop stylist and how you’ve gained such large clients like Target. I am currently a lead set stylist at a live shopping network so I am essentially a prop stylist as well. I would find a video like that very interesting!

[@kristirichards2249]

Girl, you are the master. You virtually always get it right imo. You have great taste and you inspire me every day to have fun and change it up every now and then!!

[@lacewatkins8715]

It *felt* fun. Loved the vibe, and the encouragement and affirmation. Lots of good, small changes; nothing overwhelming-just small elevations. Kudos to the achievement! 100k is nothing to sneeze at!

[@karman8229]

I get so happy when u post

[@snakonec]

Wooo congrats on 100K! Amazing watching you grow. Well-deserved, you're so authentic and refreshing - you are a gem in the youtube space.

[@racheldexheimer6757]

Love these homes!!! They’re cozy and have really great pieces. The thing about putting your bed under a window is that it can get SO HOT in the morning if you’re facing east. We used to have it under the window but would wake up sweating, which isn’t fun. Also, it can make the bed dirty with whatever gets in through the screen.

[@cass6020]

6:34 I agree about cozying up the space a little more, maybe it's the two chairs next to each other but it gives me big waiting room vibes. Which to a degree is good, because it looks very deliberate, but to me it just lacks a bit of hominess

[@darrisnelson5223]

These are fun Paige! I agree with all you suggested. I would congregate items on the credenza in the first home-not spread them out. In the second home I would pair down the amount of toy/toy box clutter along the floors. Kids play with about 20% of their toys. When my son was little (he is an adult now) we culled his toys every fall and spring. He was fully involved and it was never traumatic-it was always fun.💜

[@KamandaHickey]

I do the same every year with them and donate to daycare or new moms on FB marketplace. These Toys most of the time still look brand new.

[@kayelle8005]

I also love moving stuff around and seeing what else works and I never mind if in the end I move it back to its original location.

[@chandaharkins4418]

Congratulations on 100K! I really enjoyed this video, so now I'll have to go back and watch the older ones. I'm really impressed with your viewers' eyes for design. Great jobs in general - I especially liked that last living room with the green couch.

[@robinriley5984]

Enjoyable video - you are as real as your subscribers' homes and I mean that in a positive way, both in regard to you and the homes you reviewed. Congrats on hitting 100K.

[@organize1979]

Nice house, Maggie. And great suggestions to enhance her already great designer instinct, Paige!

[@maggieg2724]

Thank you! :)

[@vaderladyl]

Well considering that lilies are actually the traditional flowers for funerals, of course they can remind you of funerals. That terracotta floor on the first house is quite nice and super durable.

[@tinytaz6668]

The light in both those places, soooo jealous

[@emmapaul1na]

Paige, can you please make a video on how to coordinate/use color in your home but still making it feel cohesive and not ”too much”. For example, I am trying to incorperate more bright colors intro my home in the form of blankets, pillows, art and just general details. I dont want the colors to make the rooms feel to ”cluttered”. I would say that I have a somewhat neutral home to start from. Really like your interior style and you definitely made me jump on the maximalist-train haha.

[@irhonda31]

Fun video! I’m 100% with you on the lilies/funeral home connection. I don’t like to go into flower shops for the same reason.

[@maddscientist3170]

That "sunroom" who be my art studio! The TV is a neck breaker & a frame TV would be nice. ~~~Yep round table for sure! Desk under the window, yep! Wall sconces by the bed. Right! swap the tables for sure!!!...this is Fun I like these reviews 🙃 Chelsea & the Chelsea Market....cool.......walk the High Line for some exercise & a break

[@christined2495]

Congratulations on over 100k you deserve it 🎊🎉🎊

[@sakuraemerson]

currently furnishing my space so i can submit a video for you to review one day LOL love these videos.. definitely gives me a lot of inspiration

[@flatbalcony1478]

[@rmonson5002]

Yay! Have to clean the litter box right now, sorry have I shared too much? But Imma save this for later today with a glass of wine... or two. I already know it's going to be good! I logged on just to see if you had uploaded today! So glad you did!!! Now I go poopy scoopy....but I'll be back!

[@Celeste-.-marie]

I also love a dresser in unusual places other than a bedroom. I thought I was weird 😆 they are soooo useful for storing odds and ends.

[@jennifergraham3752]

Paige my mom wrecked lilies for me too! I have never liked them because growing up my mom didn’t like them and she always said that they reminded her of funerals. I just started the video. Excited to watch. I am loving the first place so far.

[@ninaconte1131]

Hey Paige! I had a thought on a video idea: what if you talked about how to design difficult spaces. For example, I live in a basement apartment that only has windows on one wall, and it’s pretty much a studio apartment. My husband and I have found a way to make it work and we love our little home, but it would be fun to hear your ideas on how to design tricky spaces like ours

[@sandkinz]

agreed! my apartment is an attic and i'd love tips for working with sloping half-walls...

[@dianadriverasbury9130]

Congratulations on the Target job. That terra cotta is gorgeous. And the windows, especially the high up ones. Man, the windows in that house are really something. The one in Geneva a very intersesting house.

[@mimiominski3465]

Love these videos too! Seeing realistic homes and your suggestions are so helpful. Congrats on 100k 🎉

[@kathrynbjorling]

This is by far my favorite series of yours

[@YanickFM]

I'm glad you like making youtube videos because I'm always excited to see when you post them! I just moved into an apartment and maybe one of these days I'll send it your way for some opinions ☺️

[@anotherhomeschoolmom1367]

I love to see real homes!! So hard on social media and you tube to see everyday, real homes. Most of the house tours are of the super wealthy with homes that most people would never live in. Thank you for "keeping it real"!

[@jasminegurneau3902]

Congrats on 100K subscribers. I’m glad you like making videos because I love watching them!

[@margaretmonteiro8249]

I got excited when I saw that she had a round table in the living area and was so excited when you said to swap them!!! Exactly what I thought!

[@debvalle7466]

Congrats on 100k! This was a great vid. I love going into normal folks' homes...magazine-perfect design is often out of reach, so I like to see what people do with what they have. Loved both homes. The first one had a beautiful aesthetic; the second was cozy and lived-in and real. Loved the kitchen art. I just bought a lovely 122-year old home in upstate NY and have nothing in it save for a large, round antique dining table I found on CL for $250. This home will be a from-scratch thing I'll curate over time. How I wish I could have you consult for me! I just love your ideas, taste, ability to edit, and appreciation for classic design. I want a cozy-but-cool home + great combo dining room/home office + killer attic studio for my 3 drum sets, guitars, basses, keyboards, amps and recording gear. It's a tall order that I have some ideas for, but get stuck when it comes to committing to things and a style. Too bad you don't do "send in your vids of your empty new home" critiques. Lol Keep up the great work! And if you're in Chelsea, for god's sake, go to Le Zie. Your soul will be rescued.

[@katykennedy4244]

Such a good series!!! Many of your suggestions I apply in my home! So fun to hear your ideas!!!

[@bevalexander5897]

Congratulations on the 100k! I was late to KZbin, came over here when I deleted my FB account. Your channel was one of the first I subscribed to. I enjoy your wit, sarcasm and style!

[@krlindsa27]

Need to know that bathroom paint color!

[@brandy495]

Finally got a chance to watch. Loves it!!! Also, so glad Paige loves making KZbin content. I love her style and attitude. 🎉 The kids room/ nursery I think aside from the rice pendant lamp, I would lean a tiny bit more into and paint, if possible, around the window trim to drive home the window’s red pop.

[@jenkenj]

Yaassssssss with the TV hanging, thank you!! I DON'T understand when people hang their tv up near the ceiling. It truly perplexes me from both an esthetic standpoint, and a practicality/function standpoint

[@ivoted-5489]

The album art; 4 albums on top 5 on bottom. Odd numbers always look better when displaying art.

[@Carolll9]

Yes, even numbers gives me anxiety. Odds always.

[@denisefrandsen5106]

Yes! What is the green-grey bathroom color and the sage green in the kitchen. Both great colors!

Paige, the bed under the window is not fengshui. Where it is now is perfect. The ideal thing is that the wall behind the bed is solid, stable, a window is not considered a strong wall, also when sitting on the bed you should be able to see people coming to the room(both options achieve this last point)

[@TS-yd6cn]

That's interesting. I don't consciously think about feng shui, but instinctively dislike a window behind my bed! I prefer to have a window to the side, to look at. My current room is too small for that option and I definitely miss it.

[@jenkenj]

@@TS-yd6cn Agreed, I also don't typically like the bed under a window. My only exception to this is at my parent's house lol. They live on a body of water and have a water feature in their backyard so it's nice to sleep (in the summer) with the windows open hearing and smelling the water

[@lalpark]

Since you are in NYC, you should review David Harbour’s Loft in Brooklyn, AD tour. Gramercy design is the firm that designed the space

[@coastaldiva]

I really loved that 1st house. Great bones

[@itsnesee]

A chandelier in the first room over the 2 chairs and table would look lush. The kids room had a lot of stuff on the wall. I think a storage unit would help it look less cluttered

The kitchen table in the Geneva house looked like a beautiful midcentury table. If she swapped it with the round one, she wouldn't have to protect/cover it; we could actually see how pretty it is in the living room.

Paige, I’m currently collecting photos and art for a gallery wall. Can you do a video with tips or your favorite gallery walls. ❤

It might make you like lilies again if you think about it as an aroma in wine. Riesling and northern Italian reds come to mind for the lily scent.
