Yes an instagram live or twitch stream!!!

Paige could film herself silently scrolling through the entire IKEA catalogue for 2 hours and I would still watch it.

I’m loving making these videos so thank you!!

[@seanphn]

Thanks for your brutal honesty! Would love to see videos on how you would tackle pattern clashing in spaces, how to incorporate bright colors or neon, and more obscure furniture/decor retailers you’d recommend. Also me and my husband think you’re rad AF. Thanks for being the best!

[@wasselpa]

you’re so nice, thank you!!

Ooh yes, advice on patterns would be ace!

[@pamelam1101]

Yes I’d love this

[@meh5069]

Paige and Caroline winkler are hands down my two new favorite KZbin channels! ❤️🙌🏼 and your voices are so similar lol.

[@olenabi]

That’s so funny. I found Paige through Caroline and probably she mentioned her as a really cool KZbinr, so I opened one of her videos, got hooked and then in my mind smth weird happened - I thought they were sisters. And every time one of them said smth about her sister, I thought it was about either Paige or Caroline. There’s smth very alike about them, both appearance and style.

[@sabrinagallace6099]

OK shout out to whoever is on Edmonton facebook market place and sent the chrome chair with brown corduroy. I’ve been eyeing that chair wondering if Paige would approve!! Hope you scooped it up 😂 -xoxo a fellow yegger

[@michaylataylor7478]

AHH that’s my chair!! I posted it on fb bc I wasn’t sure if i had time to fix it up but then I just couldn’t part with it. It was so trippy watching this & seeing my post like what I didn’t know there were other Edmonton people watching Paige 🤎

I remember when the “vintage” plastic mushroom lamps came out in the 70s. They were literally $5.

[@littleblueplanet222]

as a gen z watcher i’d love to have you comment on tik tok/college rooms and give your ideas on how to make them look more grown up! i’m moving out of my college space soon into my own place to start working and i want to make everything look a little more mature.

[@rmonson5002]

Well the fact that you want it to look more mature is a good start, IMHO. I would start following designers you like and see what it is that appeals to you in their spaces. Also, Paige's Chicago condo is full of inspiration. Good luck! It's fun to decorate you first place.

[@sophias9686]

I’ve commented this on another one of her videos but I’d love to know some mood lighting alternatives to string lights

[@alyssadb]

I'm a little late but she has a video called "transitioning your decor" that had some really good tips. Good luck on decorating your new place!

[@galactichermione6727]

Some video ideas I’d love to see: -how to curate your own eye for design. So many people just rely on videos like this to tell them how to feel about design. I’d like to know how you established your very unique design style. -prop styling tips and resources to learn about prop styling for those of us who are interested in it as a career. Love your videos so much, Paige. You are a breath of fresh air! (I also love these sub send you shit videos)

[@cs4849]

Oh my God, I had that orange acrylic mushroom lamp as a kid in the ‘70’s! I was sneaking and reading after bedtime one night and I had the light muted by draping the lamp with a folded blanket and my robe. It burned through all five layers and melted the lamp. My parents were NOT pleased.

[@em84c]

Shit! Did the lamp survive?

[@Rachel-kx1ns]

you should review some of the NOWNESS: My Place home tours! much nicer than the celebrity ones and i'd love to hear your opinion on Devendra Banhart's bathroom

[@77Tadams]

"go over and smeeeeell the cushions....it could be. Dirty." ROLF! And I had an experience with a nasty couch when I was first living with my husband. I washed and scrubbed it, took off all the cushion covers washed them with my hard earned quarters....and we were sitting on it that night after cleaning it all day. Peeeeeeuuuwww!! Really bad, smelled like throwup/cigarettes/cat pee! We were on the third floor. Opened the windows and tossed all the cushions out, carried it back down the steps, and threw it in the dumpster! Out 50 bucks, roll of quarters, cleaning supplies, and my dignity.....but we kept the free painting that went with it and I still have it! It is a boat painting....and every time I see it, I smile! :) My mom had two mushroom lamps just like that vintage one! They had purple shades....she had them for our whole childhood I believe.

[@roseallen7296]

Immediately went and showed this to my boyfriend as proof bidding on the Kilim polish rug and folk painting was the right choice. Sadly didn’t win the bidding war for the rug…

[@wasselpa]

noooo! loved that rug

[@roseallen7296]

@@wasselpa it sold for $750, I didn't have a chance. hopefully my luck is better with the painting!

[@agnieszkahajduk5901]

How much?? Ok, i'm from Poland, i need to say: kilim is a type of rug you put on a WALL, nowedays people thinks it's very old-fashioned and should only exist in grandparents houses. For me kilims are ok, but when they're vintage, this one was very cute but for me - little but overpriced. The person who bought this for $750 exaggerated, it's almost 3000 zł and I can find on polish reselling websites other killims in similar sizes, also from Cepelia and also from '60 and '70 for 500-700 zł, which equals $125-175. And fun fact - Cepelia is short for Centrala Przemysłu Ludowego i Artystycznego, which is "Folk and Art Industry Headquarters". They rallied folk and artistic handicraft cooperatives and ran commercial establishments dealing with the sale of goods produced in associated cooperatives. The goods were made or inspired by the works of Polish folk artists. That killim from the video was olso handcrafted, maybe even made by sam old lady living in a polish village, then resold by Cepelia in one of big cities. I have nothing to do right now, I'm going to find out who designed and made it 😆

[@shellisannes464]

@@agnieszkahajduk5901 omg you write such an interesting well informed response, Paige, you should interview her in a show 🤓

[@roseallen7296]

@@agnieszkahajduk5901 Such interesting info! yes, i was hoping to have it as a wall hanging for a kids bedroom. I LOVED the motifs, never seen a kilim rug like that before. If you find the artist, i'd love to know. But yeah completely agree, $750 was outrageous to me when I found out too.

Paige, I’m happy to see you still uploading and I hope your starting to feel a little better! The algorithm suggested to me a series on House & Garden’s channel where they show Matilda Goad transforming her home and the process she took when designing. I think there’s things you’d love and things that aren’t your style but a great series nonetheless- might make for some good content or even just a nice watch for you with a cuppa. Wishing you well ❤️

[@loriegabidel]

I get the feeling that your FB marketplace has WAY better options than mine based on your comments.

[@charmsz566]

Lol loveee that you featured that weird couch I sent you (5:00) You're totally right, It did look a little dingey. I'm not in the market for a new couch but I had just been looking at it and (as much as I dont like this word either I feel like I have to use it...) it just had a ✨vibe ✨ to it that I couldn't tear my eyes away from. And right after that I saw your IG story so I figured I would share! If it were in better condition (and definitely after a thorough cleaning!) it could look cool in another spot. LOVED your opinions on all these though! I'm very much in agreement of going craigslist/vintage/facebook marketplace, not just for the sake of being more affordable but the stuff out there is just way cooler than amazon, anthro, etc.

[@syncopate.]

I thought that fabric was INCREDIBLE, but also iffy about buying large vintage pieces online...

[@sandysutube63]

The adorable Goo!! So good to see her cute face!🐶 I loved her version of saying or grunting hello to us lol.♥️ Paige did you see the AD video of Gwyneth Paltrow’s home yet?

[@chelseakmoss]

LOVE you and your videos, firstly. I absolutely fell in love with that “McGee” lamp as well and we can both feel better about it because after a quick search on the lamp name, McGee must be reselling it under their name. The Dapne lamp is originally sold by Currey & Company and the Grisewood’s original seller is OKA - which I’m finding both have some very cool items. Cheers to now having some new sites to peruse! I hope you check them out as well 😊

[@maddie4190]

I know with these things it really just depends on the person with what they should get, but I love when you do these because I think it makes a lot of us really think through our purchases differently. Like, do I want this for now or will I love it later? Will this be as functional as I think in the long term? Is this just trendy? Questions like that. So thank you!

[@greatgatsby29]

I’m moving into an apartment in a couple weeks and I really like mid-century modern vibes but don’t want to over do it. Can you do a video on how to not over do everything with mid-century modern furniture/decor??

Great video! Already looking forward to part 3!! It’s really interesting to hear your thoughts and understanding your point of view, especially on trendy items we see everywhere on IG. I find these topics very helpful. Thanks! 🙂 I’m in the process of designing my new place and it can become quite overwhelming.

[@amies6875]

Thank you for getting me hooked on FB marketplace!!! I got the BEST deal on there and I’m so proud and happy with it! I’ve been bragging about it to everyone lol. A woman was selling an American Leather 3-Seater Sofa and Oversized chair, which look very similar to their current Copenhagen or Manhattan style. She was selling the sofa and chair for only $300 in great condition! Literally rented a uhaul the next day to jump on that deal and had to drag it out of her high rise condo into my third story apartment, but it was so worth it. The sofa and chair were originally this cranberry/mahogany color but I used Rub N Restore leather dye to dye it a nice cognac brown color and it turned out amazing :) :) :) Now I’m addicted.

[@susanma4899]

10:01 I was thinking of buying that same piece of furniture, but I passed. I think I read a lot of bad reviews on it. One thing to consider is that you have to assemble it yourself, and it's not easy. You have to get those little doors hanging right so that they will close properly--and I think if the quality is bad, there's nothing you can do to fix the problem if they DON'T close. And it's not cheap either!
