Would milanote sponser you doing a more in-depth tutorial on how you use it for designing a space? I've learned a lot about design choices from your videos and I'd love to see the process spelled out in that way. And your video today sounds so much like the inside of my head whenever I'm watching shows like that 😆 Loved the feeling of relief I got from just hearing you say sh#%. Love you!
Good luck! Might have to do that quite a few more times, along with apprenticing him to one of the following: the local plumber, electrician, woodworking shop, etc. Either working in a position like that will give him an enthusiasm for one of those jobs and maybe he'll at least stay grounded with that as a hobby while he tries to make it as an actor, or he'll run far and fast away from that and in the direction of acting and all hope will be gone...
@@staceyschmidt3149pretty good idea. Both Harrison Ford (carpenter) and they guy who played Ron Swanson (woodworking) worked in trades while getting into the biz.
I wanna say, that this house screams "someone else cleans all this shit for me so idgaf". Those swan taps??? The bathroom carpet??? The kitchen island skirt??? Absolutely not, as a person who cleans their own house.
The problem with a house that leans this hard into an interior theme is that as you live you acquire things that you love that don’t fit it. And the whole thing falls apart. Or you find yourself out saying, “oh I love this, but it doesn’t fit our theme.”
this is one of the most thought-provoking design points I have ever heard. wow! thank you for mentioning this. I'm going to keep this in mind always now.
My favorite place is actually my parents'! They moved while they were in their fifties, and while they were away taking care of my dying grandpa, their interior designer friend and I decorated their new apartment just with their own stuff (give or take a few pillows). It turned out so magical, and because all their stuff is the art and nifty tchotchkes they've collected over the many years of marriage, they've been able to change things around without having to completely redo it. I guess the young version is just starting your art collection really young and being ok with some things being empty!
I'm not a male actor, but I wasn't properly loved by my father and when you started talking about them having to perform it really struck something in me. I know this was meant to be a fun silly smack talk thing, but hearing you say "You are enough" felt so emotional and painful, in a therapeutic sort of way. Thank you for sharing.
😂 you didnt understand this comment AND cant see how she has a point. She was in a relationship while being an actress 😂 so get over your insecurities!
@T.Currie I think so many people, but maybe especially men, struggle with the lack of a father figure and a lack of self worth stemming from that. You are enough. Grace Carter has made some beautiful music about her lack of relationship with her father, especially Blame ft Jacob banks, and Heal me. Very therapeutic to listen to, they might resonate with you. Just know you're not alone, and that the way your parents treated you might shape the way you feel and behave sometimes, but it does not define your worth.
Carpet in the bathroom: germ central Overall house vibe: The Shining Male actors having no chill: 100% accurate, see also any kind of male performer Loved this 🏆
I love pink and ultra femininity, but I wish Harbour brought his plants from his old place to balance it out a bit. I feel that all the rooms could really benefit from something natutal and green.
@@eily_b yeah but I need something like succulents or pothos to balance all the flowers. And I love flower! But I feel like this house needs to be more balanced. For instance, put half the stuff from the bathroom in the near empty bedroom
Ditto. He had all those great plants, and now he has this admittedly lovely "garden room" with pics of flowers and some fakes, but no actual plants... I would like to see them in the mix somewhere, if only in the cold pool house.
I liked all the books and wall art he had in his previous place, I wonder where it all went. I hate that the place doesn't look like he actually lives there. There's nothing of him in that house.
I just figured it out! This home gives haunted doll house from the Victorian era vibes. Like the little rich girl who owned it died a young tragic death and now her soul haunts anyone who dare play with it, or move any of the furniture.
Okay, I’m going to call this style “Titanic Chic.” Like every room here looks like it would fit in a stateroom on a giant old grand ship. Starting with those big poufy window treatments. Which is also all the exact style of my teenage bedroom in 1987. Flashbacks.
I do love you tearing apart celeb interior design choices but you absolutely putting their relationship on BLAST and calling out their dynamic is peak entertainment 😂😂👌🏼
I actually really like their relationship and their behavior throughout the tour. They're cute and trying to make the other one laugh, like a cute couple who still got the time, the pleasure and energy to flirt
She had her arms crossed the whole time and was looking disapprovingly at him. I think she's a control freak who has to have everything her way. That is a woman's house. Aside from his small area, there is nothing masculine in there.
Their house feels like EXHAUSTING in a “I just spent a whole month at my grandparents and now I’m sick of them way.” Also the carpet is the bathroom is nasty. There I said it.
AD’s last tour of his apartment was one of my favourites EVER. This house was a shock but screamed, I love my English wife, so I admired this man even more. But I’ll miss his library, a lot, his soothing colours and originality. Let’s remind ourselves how sweet and happy they are.
There were specific elements of their house that I liked (fireplace in the bathroom) but for the most part it left me feeling sort of sickly and tired. I can't really explain it but it just made me think of being way way too high and you're stuck in your grandma's stuffy tomb of a house and all you want is some fresh air and a glass of water. Everything reads as heavy and stale to me. Also, carpet in a bathroom? Abhorrent. There is so much moisture! The swan taps were gorgeous though. I enjoyed this and I hope you do another!
It feels like it is so stifling in there. I like the descriptor of grandma’s tomb-house. I even get a sense of mortuary, now that I think of it. Maybe all the florals. So many busy patterns and things that are clashing… so wrong. Caroline picked a good one to deconstruct. Looking forward to seeing more of these.
Agree with everything you said! And the pink ruffled bed and pink poofy curtain on the window in the closet! And the zebra room omg just hideous. So many busy clashing patterns EVERYwhere it makes me feel stressed just looking at it. Carpeted bathroom ewwww. I just know there's a doll room they didn't show. A room filled with victorian-style creepy dolls with moving eyes. I feel like this isn't anywhere near his style--it's all 100% her style and I truly hope he loves her so much that the stifling, cluttered, ruffly, pretentious grandma style doesn't start to grate on his nerves. (Edit: I was going to edit this and try to be nicer, but I made the mistake of clicking on the video again and that powder room! My eyes!!! I'm dizzy now! Oh well. Not changing my comment. My opinion is what it is.)
A window in a closet leads to uneven sun bleaching of your wardrobe. It starts to become painfully obvious after 2 or 3 years. It happened to me in an older home with a much smaller closet window. I covered that window fast when I noticed it happening. It can be a problem if you don't do fast fashion/entirely new clothes every year. I hang onto my clothing, some of it's handmade. So that sun bleaching really ticked me off.
@@_elunka I can see it happening if a room which was originally something else gets converted into a closet. I can understand having a closet window for ventilation. But I'd use light blocking drapes or film over the windows, not showcase them with no real covering. They can't even get dressed in that closet, because someone could be using a telescope to peep at them.
I had a window in my closet. The sunlight bleached out some of my shirts and purses. I did not see that coming. So just keep that in mind for when you ascend to closet window/ bathroom fireplace status.
Genuinely surprised you were ok with the carpet on the bathroom floor 😂 Listen I'm here for any SMACK TALK topic of your choosing but the way you analyse relationships makes me think reviewing romantic comedies would be absolute peak comedy
I think they are super staged for the AD walk through. Sometimes the home owner comments on a large vase of flowers or bowl of fruit in a way which indicates they didn't put it there and don't usually have such a thing in their home.
Pronouncing foyer properly is a massive positive for me. I watched a couple of American house tours before realising this was the way you chaps pronounce it and the host wasn't just saying it wrong
This is my absolute favorite of your videos. I laughed so hard I cried. "Male actors weren't properly loved by their fathers" just killed me. More please. MORE PLEASE!
The whole male actor thing reminds me of the guys who aren't actors but want to make you laugh with every. single. thing. that they say. It's fun for the first 5 minutes, but then you're like, "okay, but can we actually just have a conversation?" Everything is a bit, everything is a performance, and they're so insecure they actually think they have to do that to get laid. When in fact it's just annoying. And when it doesn't work, they think it's because they didn't go hard enough, and they're going to go even harder with the next woman.
omg!!! I agree! The most annoying thing ever... Knew a guy who was excessively like this, and it's exhausting. Most of the time it's not even jokes or anything, it's just using a "funny" voice, or making overexaggerated sounds. Drives me up the wall.
Thirty-five years with a guy like this. I have learned to just let him get it out, wait for the punch line and then carry on with a half decent conversation because you know he's going to interject again with another dumb comment. He has gotten worse over the years. Definitely exhausting.
uh oh this is kinda me i don't do it to get laid tho i simply get called "quiet" too much and humor is the easiest way to avoid silence in most social situations, you can be "clever"/thoughtful but without getting deep into anything, a little bit of recall, listening skills and some wit can help with being perceived as "less quiet"
I want it to be talked about so much more so that it becomes confusing, but amusing, lore for our descendants. “Ah, yes, in the 21st century they always had a spare pillow on the edge of the bed. It was believed to ward off ghosts.” 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Taking requests for later episodes of SMACK TALK ! Can be a movie, show, or anything fun to review. It won't always be home reviews, BUTTT if you love home reviews as much as I do, check out DANIEL TITCHENER, PAIGE WASSEL, and MIRIAM MANZO's home reviews - they're my favorites!
Would LOVEEEE it if could review Emma Chamberlain's house (loved the balance of styles and colors in this one). Also recommend the show Modern Love (each episode has its own story kinda like Black Mirror but it's cute-r) (especially S1 E3 with Anne Hathaway). Maybe it's something that wouldn't be "on brand" for you, but I feel like it'd be fun to watch you play the Sims 🤷♂
I wonder what you would think of the channel Never Too Small. All spaces are generally under 500 sq ft & all over the world. The recent one done by a French architect partnership… it felt like rich people trying to be quirky.. pink & pistachio colors.. I hated it but I’m finding I do not like French style.
I’d like to think that Lily Allen and David Harbour are the kind of people that can laugh at themselves if they ever come across your video because the way you had me cackling 😭🤧
Omg I’m dying laughing- I completely lost it with the “not allowing” the sour dough. I am undateable as well, I thought I was the only one who said that out loud.
I never thought the sentence 'David Harbour is a male actor' could be so cutting. ps. When I first watched this tour the Plain English reference went straight over my English head. Please do more of these.
Haha I had to laugh because my former neighbor is a male actor and, while nice, he’s definitely, well, an interesting person. Huge ego, always went out on the balcony in the summer to practice his texts wearing only boxer shorts so that we could here him on the other side of the street 😂
This house is so freaking overwhelming and I'm only at the bathroom. I like the colours and items individually but if it was my house I would just need it to basically be half of what it is. Like spread all of it over twice as many rooms lol
LOVE that you did this react. I HATED that home tour with a PASSION both for the overwhelming decor and the incredible awkwardness. HATED IT. THANK YOU.
I was much confused when I saw the comments on that video. Most people were so in love with their house and their dynamic, and I was like, “I hate everything about this!” I felt like I was on crazy pills!
Thank goodness other people hated this house also. The kitchen was ok but still a little frilly for me. The rest of the house made me feel so nauseous.
I have just discovered your channel...and opening by shoving a handful of popcorn into your mouth has started my day off on the right foot! Thank you so much for being an actual relatable human being.
When I saw you posted this I waited to have a moment that I knew I could watch uninterrupted. You with your popcorn on the couch was me with my green tea on the floor. Thank you for blessing us with this content, Caroline.
Loved his bachelor’s pad and his closet in the house. Everything else in the house is her taste. My making enemies moment- it’s like a grownup little girl’s room all over the house. But, they look so happy. 💗
Not the pillow that protects you from ghosts and the crack by the wall😂 I literally cackled into my coffee, thank you for this lovely riot of a Saturday morning vid
I am -dying- because I had already seen this video independently and was APPALLED at how much I hated it. I was so ready for you to roast this and the fact that you didn't hate it is somehow hilarious to me.
Agreed. Gives 'nana's house' vibes. 🤣My pupils actually dilated when I saw his bathroom...and I had to take several deep breaths because the claustrophobia was setting in. 😵
David Harbour's home tour in 2019 was a complete delight - I loved everything abouthis style! This home by contrast is tragic 😬 -- & carpeting a bathroom is just insane. Only my opinion!
@lsamoa my parents had a carpeted bathroom. It was so unsanitary and gross. To their credit, they didn't ask for it, thats just what the contractors put in.
When I emigrated from London to the U.S. 20 years ago, I wanted to get away from everything English! The last thing I'd have in my house was floral wallpaper, flouncy draped curtains and intricate patterned carpeting. I think one can initially like Lily's house, but you would soon be overwhelmed by it. It feels like a 'pastiche'. My dream was to live in an American mid century modern house, the opposite of everything English homes are.
OK, went through the whole tour and only one word comes to mind: horrible... If I entered a house like that, I would only take one look and run out screaming.
You have very quickly become one of my fav personalities to hang with over the past couple weeks! Hugely relatable and inspiring, excellent energy, whatever energy you happen to be bringing in each vid. Just the very best vibes. Love love love it. I’ve binged most of your videos and look forward whatever you come up with next!
Tbh, for me, the decor was kinda overwhelming and their vibe was a bit bizarre...hmm...I don't give it a year. But, I give Caroline all points for this fun and hilarious vid! (and SAME about pillows!)
It’s a testament to my love for you that I made it through this video listening to you eat popcorn. I don’t listen to the children I grew myself, eat popcorn. The sounds of mastication fill me with unreasonable rage.
Came here mid-video looking for the comments on the popcorn eating noises. I’m genuinely surprised there aren’t more (yet). I do think there’s a definite overlap between people with misophonia and people who watch this content so you’re definitely not alone on despising the chewing sounds.
For the longest time I thought I was an intolerant bitchy person because hearing people chewing angers me, along with other mouth sounds and when I heard of misophonia I felt so relieved it’s an actual thing.
oh my gosh . I can totally do popcorn but not moist masticating . I want to pull off my ears and slap my family members with my bloody flapping ears during moist chewing .
I can't believe how much I hated this house. It just kept getting worse. Yikes! Good for them if they love it, but I could not relax in any of those rooms. With that said, I loved the video! You were super entertaining.
Agreed. This seems like such a fake home. Do they really spend time there and enjoy it?! I don't buy it! This is their second home they spend 1 month out of the year at lol
ปีที่แล้ว +11
So right! The house is horrible, nothing fits too much, those bedsheets and the leopard room... 😱
Caroline -- this needs to be a regular thang! The comments ---- funeral home flowers in the fireplace, wooden blinds in the zebra room, the heavy pink frilly blinds--- 100% truth. You've got the interior design 6th sense/mojo , more AD celebrity homes need your smack talk asap and I'm here for it. Please do Cara Delevingne and Gwyneth Paltrow next! 🙏
Girl, I absolutely adore watching you do uncomfortable things. This is just what we need in times of comfort zones and isolation. You are an example! :* [non native english speaker]
Same, plus a weighted blanket. And before I had the right dose of ADHD meds I perpetually had approximately 3-4 loads of clean laundry waiting to be folded taking up the other half of my bed. All in all, I was really only left with half of my queen bed!
When my husband moved into my apartment I redid all of if from mermaid theme to forest. I have many things I like; I don't need to have decor that makes him feel like an outsider. When we were dating I would sit on the couch and talk with him and behind him was like mermaid paintings and it looked so out of place. Bachelor and Bachelorette pads can be fun but its important for both people to feel at home in THEIR HOME. Worried for them.
Yea i tend to design our house in a way that fits us both. I always tell him that if i lived alone i would live in a pink and purple sparkly barbie dreamhouse type monstrosity🤣 We each have a room that we are decking out in our own styles but the common areas have a vibe that matches us both.
Awesome series! It's giving period cramps self care energy and I'm here for it. Please release more so I can lie on the couch with my hot water bottle and watch this
I loved his apartment in the last tour. To me, this looks like an English hotel in the ‘80’s - or this store that used to be popular in my area called Dorothy’s Ruffles. It’s a LOT. Too much frill for me, but whatever makes them happy. Really enjoyed your commentary, btw. This was fun.
TMI, over sharing: I am on my couch with a ruptured ovarian cyst and this vibe is exactly what I needed. Snacks and talking smack? Feminine bonding in my favorite form. ✨💅🏻
DO MORE OF THESE, like a weekly or bi weekly Arch Digest home review, I absolutely love this video! Honestly all of your content has been seriously amazing lately, you’re doing great!!
I can generally find elements of almost any home or design style that I respect and understand. But wow. Nope. Hated every inch of that house. Somehow they managed to take elements of style that I've always liked and put them together in a way that I viscerally reacted to.... which I guess is impressive in its own way. I'm sure they're lovely people, but if I went there for a party I think I'd have to spend the whole time outside in the garden.
This is exactly how I feel when I watch these AD videos!! I actually told TH-cam to stop recommending them haha! I may try to figure out how to undo that. I am also an interior designer and girl you are so relatable on so many levels! You make things that drive me nuts or insecure less scary, less painful and even fun! So much love for you! 💋
This video was super entertaining and definitely lifted my spirits. Love your laugh and brand of humor. Thank you! AND this Milanote app is amazing! I'm a productivity geek, and this simple app allowed me to concentrate my messy brain and digital notes into a simply elegant interface. So happy you brought it to our attention! Have a rad day and keep 'em coming :)
I didn't even recognise Lily Allen. The last time I saw her was a music video complaining about industry executives pressuring her to have liposuction or something. She's made babies and now she looks younger than when she made the babies! Also I LURRRRVE wallpaper murals. I don't care if they date, I just WANT THEM!
I like bc I'm obsessed with ancient Rome and it reminds me of their amazing walls. So when they became popular I was like yes Bc it'll be possible for me without hiring a human to paint. I don't care about what's in either.
@@msb4838 I am such a slow thinking person I wanted a wallpaper forgetting the thing I'm a painter. And I can paint literally anything. Including human figures and ornaments. This I will do as soon as I finish with decluttering my space (working on it, really :) )
I don't think I've thought of Lily Allen since her first or second album. She was kinda a smarmy London kid so to see her elegant and married to David is kinda whiplash lol.
Caroline, I just moved into my first solo apartment after breaking up with my boyfriend and your videos make me laugh & smile all the time. Thanks for making such fun content. I love this react series!
I would like the bathroom, if it wasn't a bathroom. It's like sitting room, but then it was turned into a mold farm by putting a bathtub in there with the carpet and wallpaper. I smiled at Caroline saying it looked like grandmothers place from the '80s, because I had literally been thinking 1880s befor she said that. Everything comes back around.
I hate it when a carpet is basically the floor anyway (no clue how to call it, but there’s some name for it). You always have to be so careful not to spill anything on it. But it’s a pretty British thing, I’ve had carpets everywhere in so many cottages in the UK…
@@Diana-qp2rw We call it wall-to-wall carpet. It was very popular in the states from about the 1960s through the 1990s but has fallen out of favor lately.
Grandma's house in the 80s is perfect. Alllll the dustskirts and carpets remind me of visiting my elder as a little kid. My head can't stop thinking of "dated" because I've never seen it anywhere else lol.
Haha. You're so right about how it seems like they only just met. I got the very same vibe from them the first time I saw their home tour. You do the best commentary - it's hilarious 😂
Love you and your videos and your podcast! I know this is way out of pocket but you’re so hard on yourself, you didn’t say anything mean or scandalous! I thought you were super generous actually. You’re a total joy and riot to watch; it’s just sometimes sad to hear the way you talk about/put yourself down (even if you’re being humorous). We all love you and you’re SO easy to love!!! I know ppl on yt are merciless so you have to make disclaimers but you have every right to share your opinions without qualifiers!!! You’re literally my absolute favorite person on this platform-you’re super intelligent, talented, funny, gorgeous, and insanely creative. You are hot shit and you’re so special! Own it, girl!!!!
Agree! And much too modest/self-depricating claiming not to have any expertise to comment on home tours! Yes, yes you absolutely do have plenty of expertise Interior Designer Caroline Winkler extraordinaire! Very generous with her comments indeed. If she sounded like Simon on American Idol (who's expertise is?) that would be a different story
I am only 5 minutes into the video and its already absolutely hilarious. Almost like the old youtube days when people did not take themselves too serious. Love it.
You were very generous with your critique here Caroline. I kept wondering "what would Elizabeth say" 😄 I struggled to find anything redeeming about this home. Even if David was generous about leaning into Lily's style it's appropriate to allow someone you live with to incorporate something of themselves into the design. My husband is extremely generous about my color choices and design. He does not like bold paint color so I keep it more neutral. I was married 26 years the first time and now 19 years the second. If you want your partner to feel at home in their home make it about them too. As someone who renovated a 1950's home and designed and built (we actually swung the hammers) a high-end home I would not recommend wall-to-wall in a wet space like a bathroom. Two things that jump out about that choice; 1. mold, 2. floor rot.
girl you are HILARIOUS! Your commentary is spot on and I love this series!! I just watched your other video with your sister and both had me CACKLING lol also you are not rude at all you literally comment so politely with respect to others homes it's so cute
BIG fan of this series already 😂 -- you're like inside my mind with all the thoughts I had when I watched this video, down to their awkward conversations, the funeral vibes on that fireplace, the bedding, etc. But omg I would NEVER put carpet in a bathroom, the thought of it makes me want to vomit lol.
I almost moved in with a guy who likes Scandinavian light wood and straight lines, and I’m all about art nouveau and Victorian haunted houses. It never would’ve worked. Now I’m with my husband who doesn’t have ANY opinions about the way things look so I get free reign!
The first thing I thought when I saw that bedroom was how boring it was. Maybe what I was reacting to was the flat pillows. Not just that there's one per person, but also they are flat. Don't know why that bothered me so much. Plus, going from the explosion of pattern in the bathroom to plain pink makes made me yearn for more. As a sun worshipper, windows in the bedroom make me sad. I also agree about the window in the closet; it's really house goals.
Mural-esque wallpaper is classic and isn’t going anywhere. One of my favorite examples is the Chinese Room in the film Gosford Park where Constance Trentham, Maggie Smith’s character, was staying.
Highly recommend Troye Sivan's AD house tour. Such a cool and unique space and he's actually a normal person and not putting on a show in the tour. He obviously put a lot of love and care into his house and it's gorgeous.
I loved this style of episode! Keep doing these AD reaction videos. I learned a lot, as you walked us through what you were noticing, liking, not liking.
The way you make me feel SOOOO safe about design is incredible, I love you! I never feel like you'd be silently judgemental if you saw my home, the way I usually feel about some designers. I feel like you'd honestly tell me what I could improve and even if you didn't like something, you'd still be kind and considerate about it ❤❤❤
In the "Homey vs. Fancy' section, I think the aspect that makes it not feel like a home is how crowded it is. There are so many items that feel crammed into the space that it makes the room feel unlivable. I'd almost say claustrophobic, but it's not just because there isn't enough space to move around (I feel like I'd bang my knee on the coffee table), but also the decor seems expensive too. Like I'd be on edge in that room because I would be afraid to break something.

THIS is EXACTLY why Caroline is one of my favorite humans. The humor...attitude...talent..
always on point!💜
Done!
Hey Caroline! Even if a pattern does not repeat, it is still called a pattern, in French we call it a "placed pattern".
Would milanote sponser you doing a more in-depth tutorial on how you use it for designing a space? I've learned a lot about design choices from your videos and I'd love to see the process spelled out in that way.
And your video today sounds so much like the inside of my head whenever I'm watching shows like that 😆 Loved the feeling of relief I got from just hearing you say sh#%. Love you!
Took a look at Milanote!! It’s pretty fcking cool!
I have a teen son who wants to be an actor so I went and gave him a hug and told him he is enough. Fingers crossed it worked.
Good luck! Might have to do that quite a few more times, along with apprenticing him to one of the following: the local plumber, electrician, woodworking shop, etc. Either working in a position like that will give him an enthusiasm for one of those jobs and maybe he'll at least stay grounded with that as a hobby while he tries to make it as an actor, or he'll run far and fast away from that and in the direction of acting and all hope will be gone...
😂😂
LAWL
@@staceyschmidt3149pretty good idea. Both Harrison Ford (carpenter) and they guy who played Ron Swanson (woodworking) worked in trades while getting into the biz.
I’m screaming / crying. Truly it can never hurt 💕
"There's so much tension between them" and "I'm so excited for them to finally hook up together." Is such a quality roast line 😂
I agree lol! Caroline is a hoot
Lilly has got a grateful vibe and he's got a "let's get through this" vibe.
I wanna say, that this house screams "someone else cleans all this shit for me so idgaf". Those swan taps??? The bathroom carpet??? The kitchen island skirt??? Absolutely not, as a person who cleans their own house.
Immediately wondered who stocks the bathroom frig.
I second that!
The bathroom carpet, toooo much anxiety
That chandelier in the kitchen had the Merry Maids phone number engraved in the crystal. Who else is degreasing that?
@@shanahendricks9831 - Agreed, I don't know how carpet somehow got a pass? How??
The problem with a house that leans this hard into an interior theme is that as you live you acquire things that you love that don’t fit it. And the whole thing falls apart.
Or you find yourself out saying, “oh I love this, but it doesn’t fit our theme.”
this is one of the most thought-provoking design points I have ever heard. wow! thank you for mentioning this. I'm going to keep this in mind always now.
My favorite place is actually my parents'! They moved while they were in their fifties, and while they were away taking care of my dying grandpa, their interior designer friend and I decorated their new apartment just with their own stuff (give or take a few pillows).

I'm not a male actor, but I wasn't properly loved by my father and when you started talking about them having to perform it really struck something in me. I know this was meant to be a fun silly smack talk thing, but hearing you say "You are enough" felt so emotional and painful, in a therapeutic sort of way. Thank you for sharing.
Yeah, she was like “you had issues with you father or something?” When actually she clearly had an issue with men in those ~ten years of actress 👀
😂 you didnt understand this comment AND cant see how she has a point. She was in a relationship while being an actress 😂 so get over your insecurities!
@T. Currie you are not alone. There are probably billions of us.
You made me cry. Maybe this is why I'm such a clown.
@T.Currie I think so many people, but maybe especially men, struggle with the lack of a father figure and a lack of self worth stemming from that. You are enough. Grace Carter has made some beautiful music about her lack of relationship with her father, especially Blame ft Jacob banks, and Heal me. Very therapeutic to listen to, they might resonate with you. Just know you're not alone, and that the way your parents treated you might shape the way you feel and behave sometimes, but it does not define your worth.
Carpet in the bathroom: germ central
Overall house vibe: The Shining
Male actors having no chill: 100% accurate, see also any kind of male performer
Loved this 🏆
So true😆
The hotel decor in The Shining was my first thought too! 😂
Thank you for writing this comment because………..what is this house? Are they ok? 😂
The Shining! Nailed it.
I was thinking Beetlejuice - that had dead people too.
"Let's make some enemies" is going to be my mantra for starting every day now.
If you can say it while staring into a mirror you’ll have a very interesting day
I burst out laughing. Partly because I knew it was about to be true.
U seem exhausting
Ditto. Said with as much confidence too.
Same 😂
I love pink and ultra femininity, but I wish Harbour brought his plants from his old place to balance it out a bit. I feel that all the rooms could really benefit from something natutal and green.
That's why they have the funeral home/garden room/living room thingy.
@@eily_b yeah but I need something like succulents or pothos to balance all the flowers. And I love flower! But I feel like this house needs to be more balanced. For instance, put half the stuff from the bathroom in the near empty bedroom
Ditto. He had all those great plants, and now he has this admittedly lovely "garden room" with pics of flowers and some fakes, but no actual plants... I would like to see them in the mix somewhere, if only in the cold pool house.
Yeah it's got a sterile showroom feel to it that gives me the creeps.
I liked all the books and wall art he had in his previous place, I wonder where it all went. I hate that the place doesn't look like he actually lives there. There's nothing of him in that house.
I just figured it out! This home gives haunted doll house from the Victorian era vibes. Like the little rich girl who owned it died a young tragic death and now her soul haunts anyone who dare play with it, or move any of the furniture.
Is it weird that makes me like more?
It really does.
Okay, I’m going to call this style “Titanic Chic.” Like every room here looks like it would fit in a stateroom on a giant old grand ship. Starting with those big poufy window treatments. Which is also all the exact style of my teenage bedroom in 1987. Flashbacks.
The Titanic was actually very tastefully decorated. This is more like The Shining haha
I do love you tearing apart celeb interior design choices but you absolutely putting their relationship on BLAST and calling out their dynamic is peak entertainment 😂😂👌🏼
It is a very stressful talent to have. This is my cross to bear
@@Caroline_Winkler It's giving VH1 pop up video with an extra doss of realness! Anyone old enough to remember that early 2000's gem? Just me?
@@Caroline_Winkler🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
Yes lololol I and I like totally felt the same way when I watched their video too 😂
I am also SO HERE for unexpected Carolineness. YES.
"Do they even know each other that well?" I felt the same exact way watching this lol
I actually really like their relationship and their behavior throughout the tour. They're cute and trying to make the other one laugh, like a cute couple who still got the time, the pleasure and energy to flirt
She had her arms crossed the whole time and was looking disapprovingly at him. I think she's a control freak who has to have everything her way. That is a woman's house. Aside from his small area, there is nothing masculine in there.
Oh gosh, his previous place had so much character and a lived in vibe. Their together home feels very much like a movie scene.
Yes.
Bad movie set
It's heartbreaking. I bet he misses his previous place a lot.
I wouldn't say it had character. It had a lot going on for it, but not character
It looks like it's HER home, not THEIR home. I peg him as a wussy man who will do anything to keep the peace.
Their house feels like EXHAUSTING in a “I just spent a whole month at my grandparents and now I’m sick of them way.” Also the carpet is the bathroom is nasty. There I said it.
AD’s last tour of his apartment was one of my favourites EVER. This house was a shock but screamed, I love my English wife, so I admired this man even more. But I’ll miss his library, a lot, his soothing colours and originality. Let’s remind ourselves how sweet and happy they are.
This was super duper entertaining and I developed a dust allergy just from seeing this house on screen.
There were specific elements of their house that I liked (fireplace in the bathroom) but for the most part it left me feeling sort of sickly and tired. I can't really explain it but it just made me think of being way way too high and you're stuck in your grandma's stuffy tomb of a house and all you want is some fresh air and a glass of water. Everything reads as heavy and stale to me. Also, carpet in a bathroom? Abhorrent. There is so much moisture! The swan taps were gorgeous though. I enjoyed this and I hope you do another!
It feels like it is so stifling in there. I like the descriptor of grandma’s tomb-house. I even get a sense of mortuary, now that I think of it. Maybe all the florals. So many busy patterns and things that are clashing… so wrong. Caroline picked a good one to deconstruct. Looking forward to seeing more of these.
Spot on. Such gorgeous elements but the overall effect is stifling, oppressive, and pretentious as hell.
I feel like that sitting room was really poorly lit too. Needed more lighting, natural or otherwise for all the heavy greens in there.
Agree with everything you said! And the pink ruffled bed and pink poofy curtain on the window in the closet! And the zebra room omg just hideous.
So many busy clashing patterns EVERYwhere it makes me feel stressed just looking at it. Carpeted bathroom ewwww.
I just know there's a doll room they didn't show. A room filled with victorian-style creepy dolls with moving eyes.
I feel like this isn't anywhere near his style--it's all 100% her style and I truly hope he loves her so much that the stifling, cluttered, ruffly, pretentious grandma style doesn't start to grate on his nerves.
(Edit: I was going to edit this and try to be nicer, but I made the mistake of clicking on the video again and that powder room! My eyes!!! I'm dizzy now!
Oh well. Not changing my comment. My opinion is what it is.)
I know what you mean. Feels like the kind of place where you'd say, "Oh, little Lily came down with the consumption."
" He's hot... I'll allow it." ...The words of so many women who have said the same thing only to suffer so much years later. 😆
Ha too true!
Truer words never spoken!!
Oooh! Genius at work
My friend, wiser words have never been spoken.
A window in a closet leads to uneven sun bleaching of your wardrobe. It starts to become painfully obvious after 2 or 3 years. It happened to me in an older home with a much smaller closet window. I covered that window fast when I noticed it happening. It can be a problem if you don't do fast fashion/entirely new clothes every year. I hang onto my clothing, some of it's handmade. So that sun bleaching really ticked me off.
Yeah, window in a closet to me is an obviously bad idea, and just basically an architectural mistake, nothing to get excitet over
@@_elunka I can see it happening if a room which was originally something else gets converted into a closet. I can understand having a closet window for ventilation. But I'd use light blocking drapes or film over the windows, not showcase them with no real covering. They can't even get dressed in that closet, because someone could be using a telescope to peep at them.
And where do you change?? My closet/dressing room is the LAST place I would want a window.
They probably throw away all their stuff every 3 months anyway and buy everything new...
I have domed skylights that run down the aisle of the closet with clothes on either side. So far no fade.
I had a window in my closet. The sunlight bleached out some of my shirts and purses. I did not see that coming. So just keep that in mind for when you ascend to closet window/ bathroom fireplace status.
Genuinely surprised you were ok with the carpet on the bathroom floor 😂 Listen I'm here for any SMACK TALK topic of your choosing but the way you analyse relationships makes me think reviewing romantic comedies would be absolute peak comedy
Ahhh I would LOVE to review a romantic comedy yess
@@Caroline_Winkler I'm here to second this, beacuse I really want that to happen :)
Oh, man, the smack talk review of a romcom…DEFINITELY! 😂🍿🍿🍿
The new Netflix Your Place or Mine might be perfect for this???
good idea
A MILLION times yes to this being a series.
They have such a peculiar dynamic, it absolutely feels like they just met 😂
The problem with these celebrities houses is that they feel super staged. I can’t imagine them living a normal life on this house
I think they are super staged for the AD walk through. Sometimes the home owner comments on a large vase of flowers or bowl of fruit in a way which indicates they didn't put it there and don't usually have such a thing in their home.
Most of these people don't cook and clean For themselves, so they aren't living like a normal person
Pronouncing foyer properly is a massive positive for me. I watched a couple of American house tours before realising this was the way you chaps pronounce it and the host wasn't just saying it wrong
The thing is, that it is a French word, so proper pronunciation would be foy-"air" (with rolling the R). Foy-ay, seems so wrong.
This is my absolute favorite of your videos. I laughed so hard I cried. "Male actors weren't properly loved by their fathers" just killed me. More please. MORE PLEASE!
Where’s the lie?? Lol
YES! I want more too, please!
All those patterns together would give me a panic attack. It's so overwhelming.
Besides ugly
absolutely!!
horrible.
same!
as someone with adhd i love it it’s so much visual intrigue
The whole male actor thing reminds me of the guys who aren't actors but want to make you laugh with every. single. thing. that they say. It's fun for the first 5 minutes, but then you're like, "okay, but can we actually just have a conversation?" Everything is a bit, everything is a performance, and they're so insecure they actually think they have to do that to get laid. When in fact it's just annoying. And when it doesn't work, they think it's because they didn't go hard enough, and they're going to go even harder with the next woman.
omg!!! I agree! The most annoying thing ever... Knew a guy who was excessively like this, and it's exhausting. Most of the time it's not even jokes or anything, it's just using a "funny" voice, or making overexaggerated sounds. Drives me up the wall.
Jesus, I know exactly what you mean and it's so uncomfortable. I get the ick.
100% + when it doesn't work, *you* don't have a sense of humor, or *you* are too uptight, or "nobody gets me" and "nice guys don't win"... 🙄
Thirty-five years with a guy like this. I have learned to just let him get it out, wait for the punch line and then carry on with a half decent conversation because you know he's going to interject again with another dumb comment. He has gotten worse over the years. Definitely exhausting.
uh oh this is kinda me
i don't do it to get laid tho i simply get called "quiet" too much and humor is the easiest way to avoid silence in most social situations, you can be "clever"/thoughtful but without getting deep into anything, a little bit of recall, listening skills and some wit can help with being perceived as "less quiet"
Please, for all that is holy, do more of these reviews of celebrity homes. It’s so entertaining!
He must really love her to tolerate that house 😂
He needs to love himself more lol
@@lsamoa EXACCCTTLLYYY lol.
I love that you mentioned the pillow that protects you from ghosts. 😂I feel like that’s not talked about enough.
All of the ghosts are thanking you. 👻
I want it to be talked about so much more so that it becomes confusing, but amusing, lore for our descendants. “Ah, yes, in the 21st century they always had a spare pillow on the edge of the bed. It was believed to ward off ghosts.” 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I feel like you know us SO well.
Some people have a ghost pillow, some people have a plush toy creature or two keeping watch, some people sleep with their pets. Any and all work.
I have an IKEA Djungelskog bear who is the assigned ghost protector, but the rest of the pillow configuration is spot on.
Their latest home terrifies me
yep I hate it. So over done and claustrophobic.
It's so loud, I would have an anxiety attack just from visiting.
I'm 60 and except for the kitchen without the skirt, it makes me relive my youth and want to vomit. I would tear everything out lol.
Thank you, I thought I was the only one. I really don't like it.
@@DelFeeny sensory overload. The Tiger pattern room made me feel itchy. It’s a big nope
Taking requests for later episodes of SMACK TALK ! Can be a movie, show, or anything fun to review. It won't always be home reviews, BUTTT if you love home reviews as much as I do, check out DANIEL TITCHENER, PAIGE WASSEL, and MIRIAM MANZO's home reviews - they're my favorites!
Would LOVEEEE it if could review Emma Chamberlain's house (loved the balance of styles and colors in this one).
Also recommend the show Modern Love (each episode has its own story kinda like Black Mirror but it's cute-r) (especially S1 E3 with Anne Hathaway).
Maybe it's something that wouldn't be "on brand" for you, but I feel like it'd be fun to watch you play the Sims 🤷♂
I wonder what you would think of the channel Never Too Small. All spaces are generally under 500 sq ft & all over the world. The recent one done by a French architect partnership… it felt like rich people trying to be quirky.. pink & pistachio colors.. I hated it but I’m finding I do not like French style.
Would love if you could review some of the homes from The Modern House! I LOVE that channel!
@@samuelbarriault5020 came here to suggest Emm Chamberlain as well!
Gwyneth Paltrow’s home... I think she also did a video for AD.
I’d like to think that Lily Allen and David Harbour are the kind of people that can laugh at themselves if they ever come across your video because the way you had me cackling 😭🤧
Omg I’m dying laughing- I completely lost it with the “not allowing” the sour dough. I am undateable as well, I thought I was the only one who said that out loud.
I never thought the sentence 'David Harbour is a male actor' could be so cutting.
ps. When I first watched this tour the Plain English reference went straight over my English head. Please do more of these.
Haha I had to laugh because my former neighbor is a male actor and, while nice, he’s definitely, well, an interesting person. Huge ego, always went out on the balcony in the summer to practice his texts wearing only boxer shorts so that we could here him on the other side of the street 😂
This house is so freaking overwhelming and I'm only at the bathroom. I like the colours and items individually but if it was my house I would just need it to basically be half of what it is. Like spread all of it over twice as many rooms lol
LOVE that you did this react. I HATED that home tour with a PASSION both for the overwhelming decor and the incredible awkwardness. HATED IT. THANK YOU.
I was much confused when I saw the comments on that video. Most people were so in love with their house and their dynamic, and I was like, “I hate everything about this!” I felt like I was on crazy pills!
Same! I found myself physically reacting to both with repulsion
Thank goodness other people hated this house also. The kitchen was ok but still a little frilly for me. The rest of the house made me feel so nauseous.
You coldnt pay me to live there. it honestly made me feel repulsed.
YES. It’s like a froufrou bouquet of dried flowers threw up inside an entire house
I have just discovered your channel...and opening by shoving a handful of popcorn into your mouth has started my day off on the right foot! Thank you so much for being an actual relatable human being.
When I saw you posted this I waited to have a moment that I knew I could watch uninterrupted. You with your popcorn on the couch was me with my green tea on the floor. Thank you for blessing us with this content, Caroline.
Loved his bachelor’s pad and his closet in the house. Everything else in the house is her taste. My making enemies moment- it’s like a grownup little girl’s room all over the house. But, they look so happy. 💗
@@galaxygrl_ It's a little girl's pastiche version of British. Brits don't live like that, thank goodness.
Not the pillow that protects you from ghosts and the crack by the wall😂 I literally cackled into my coffee, thank you for this lovely riot of a Saturday morning vid
I guess I’m the only person that sleeps with one pillow and a weighted blanket lol
I am -dying- because I had already seen this video independently and was APPALLED at how much I hated it. I was so ready for you to roast this and the fact that you didn't hate it is somehow hilarious to me.
Yes.
Agreed. Gives 'nana's house' vibes. 🤣My pupils actually dilated when I saw his bathroom...and I had to take several deep breaths because the claustrophobia was setting in. 😵
@@Voodoorai scary grandma ha
@@lisagrace6471 The devil was afraid of my grandma. 🤣
David Harbour's home tour in 2019 was a complete delight - I loved everything abouthis style!
This home by contrast is tragic 😬 -- & carpeting a bathroom is just insane.
Only my opinion!
Not an opinion, it's a fact!
@lsamoa my parents had a carpeted bathroom. It was so unsanitary and gross. To their credit, they didn't ask for it, thats just what the contractors put in.
Amen sister
1000% agree and spot on imo!
When I emigrated from London to the U.S. 20 years ago, I wanted to get away from everything English! The last thing I'd have in my house was floral wallpaper, flouncy draped curtains and intricate patterned carpeting. I think one can initially like Lily's house, but you would soon be overwhelmed by it. It feels like a 'pastiche'. My dream was to live in an American mid century modern house, the opposite of everything English homes are.
Sad, old seaside hotel. Am I right?
@@IvyRoad Spot on
OK, went through the whole tour and only one word comes to mind: horrible... If I entered a house like that, I would only take one look and run out screaming.
You have very quickly become one of my fav personalities to hang with over the past couple weeks! Hugely relatable and inspiring, excellent energy, whatever energy you happen to be bringing in each vid. Just the very best vibes. Love love love it. I’ve binged most of your videos and look forward whatever you come up with next!
My fav part is you reviewing David and Lily more than their home by the end. Spot on and hilarious.
Tbh, for me, the decor was kinda overwhelming and their vibe was a bit bizarre...hmm...I don't give it a year. But, I give Caroline all points for this fun and hilarious vid! (and SAME about pillows!)
I love when you do these because not only do I love seeing the tour but your quirky comments are the best!!!
It’s a testament to my love for you that I made it through this video listening to you eat popcorn. I don’t listen to the children I grew myself, eat popcorn. The sounds of mastication fill me with unreasonable rage.
Came here mid-video looking for the comments on the popcorn eating noises. I’m genuinely surprised there aren’t more (yet). I do think there’s a definite overlap between people with misophonia and people who watch this content so you’re definitely not alone on despising the chewing sounds.
For the longest time I thought I was an intolerant bitchy person because hearing people chewing angers me, along with other mouth sounds and when I heard of misophonia I felt so relieved it’s an actual thing.
Yes, only for Caroline 🤣😍
oh my gosh . I can totally do popcorn but not moist masticating . I want to pull off my ears and slap my family members with my bloody flapping ears during moist chewing .
Same
I can't believe how much I hated this house. It just kept getting worse. Yikes! Good for them if they love it, but I could not relax in any of those rooms. With that said, I loved the video! You were super entertaining.
It really did get worse with each room 😂.
Clearly they did something to make their designer hate them while the designer pulled a Emperor's New clothes scam on them
Agreed. This seems like such a fake home. Do they really spend time there and enjoy it?! I don't buy it! This is their second home they spend 1 month out of the year at lol
So right! The house is horrible, nothing fits too much, those bedsheets and the leopard room... 😱
I knoooooooooow! And now I just saw the blinks of his old home, that was so much better!
Your immediate, deadpan response of "You're fine" to David saying his closet is more of a squeeze made me LOL and cheer because you read my mind!!!! 😂
Caroline -- this needs to be a regular thang! The comments ---- funeral home flowers in the fireplace, wooden blinds in the zebra room, the heavy pink frilly blinds--- 100% truth. You've got the interior design 6th sense/mojo , more AD celebrity homes need your smack talk asap and I'm here for it. Please do Cara Delevingne and Gwyneth Paltrow next! 🙏
Girl, I absolutely adore watching you do uncomfortable things. This is just what we need in times of comfort zones and isolation. You are an example! :* [non native english speaker]
You describing the single girl’s use of 5 pillows. Here for it. Me too.
The 5th is mostly for absorbing tears
Married for 9 years and still have 5 pillows just for me. 🤷♀️
Had it both being single and in relation! 😅
Same, plus a weighted blanket. And before I had the right dose of ADHD meds I perpetually had approximately 3-4 loads of clean laundry waiting to be folded taking up the other half of my bed. All in all, I was really only left with half of my queen bed!
@@amandatransformed married for 35 and 5 pillows for me.
Whenever I design a room, I visualize how my husband would look surrounded by the new decor. I'm not sure this was done here? Lol
Ha to say the least
Best comment 🤣
When my husband moved into my apartment I redid all of if from mermaid theme to forest. I have many things I like; I don't need to have decor that makes him feel like an outsider. When we were dating I would sit on the couch and talk with him and behind him was like mermaid paintings and it looked so out of place. Bachelor and Bachelorette pads can be fun but its important for both people to feel at home in THEIR HOME. Worried for them.
Nope not at all!
Yea i tend to design our house in a way that fits us both. I always tell him that if i lived alone i would live in a pink and purple sparkly barbie dreamhouse type monstrosity🤣 We each have a room that we are decking out in our own styles but the common areas have a vibe that matches us both.
Awesome series! It's giving period cramps self care energy and I'm here for it. Please release more so I can lie on the couch with my hot water bottle and watch this
Could not have described it better myself. I'm literally laying here with a hot pack to soothe my aching back 😂
Um hi, yeah, I absolutely LOVED this style of video. It felt like hving a girls night. Please keep doing them!!
Plz do more of these I feel so validated
I loved his apartment in the last tour. To me, this looks like an English hotel in the ‘80’s - or this store that used to be popular in my area called Dorothy’s Ruffles. It’s a LOT. Too much frill for me, but whatever makes them happy. Really enjoyed your commentary, btw. This was fun.
I’m so happy to see this right now. Just cried at my desk because I’m so overwhelmed with everything and I just know this is gonna lift me up. 💗
😔I hope you get a little lift today
🤗❤
Thank you Caroline! The video was a great start and now I’m gonna shower and eat something yummy and just go to bed early. New day tomorrow:)
@@linesch2569 Hugs! Tomorrow is another day. Fuck today!
TMI, over sharing: I am on my couch with a ruptured ovarian cyst and this vibe is exactly what I needed. Snacks and talking smack? Feminine bonding in my favorite form. ✨💅🏻
Oh no! Hope you recover well, just found out I have an endometrioma and every day when I feel pain on that side I think the time has come 😅
Sounds painful! Sending best wishes for a speeding recovery!
Hope you recover soon! I'm watching while recovering from having my fibroids and endometriosis removed, this video was just what we needed 😀🤣
Ooooooouch. poor thing - hot you have lots of drinks and snacks within easy reach and you can get some rest
Oh no! Feel better soon! I have PCOS but I've never had a cyst rupture 😥😓
you on the couch talking smack was glorious! I could watch you all day. If I had to spend 15 mins in that house I would need to go into recovery!
I love to rewatch Bryce Dallas Howard’s home tour! So whimsical and personal, it’s just lovely and fun.
DO MORE OF THESE, like a weekly or bi weekly Arch Digest home review, I absolutely love this video! Honestly all of your content has been seriously amazing lately, you’re doing great!!
I can generally find elements of almost any home or design style that I respect and understand. But wow. Nope. Hated every inch of that house. Somehow they managed to take elements of style that I've always liked and put them together in a way that I viscerally reacted to.... which I guess is impressive in its own way. I'm sure they're lovely people, but if I went there for a party I think I'd have to spend the whole time outside in the garden.
Yes, but then that male actor would make you feel obligated to enjoy sauna and splash.
Same. That zebra room was entirely "what the fuck"
@@galechicago325 😂😂
Me too.
Don't be harsh. The front door was nice!
This is exactly how I feel when I watch these AD videos!! I actually told TH-cam to stop recommending them haha! I may try to figure out how to undo that. I am also an interior designer and girl you are so relatable on so many levels! You make things that drive me nuts or insecure less scary, less painful and even fun! So much love for you! 💋
The kindest words, made me so happy to read this thank you ❤
This video was super entertaining and definitely lifted my spirits. Love your laugh and brand of humor. Thank you! AND this Milanote app is amazing! I'm a productivity geek, and this simple app allowed me to concentrate my messy brain and digital notes into a simply elegant interface. So happy you brought it to our attention! Have a rad day and keep 'em coming :)
I have to say Emmy Raver-Lampman & Daveed Diggs on their AD home tour were very much "people." So gracious and relatable, but also immaculate style.
I didn't even recognise Lily Allen. The last time I saw her was a music video complaining about industry executives pressuring her to have liposuction or something. She's made babies and now she looks younger than when she made the babies! Also I LURRRRVE wallpaper murals. I don't care if they date, I just WANT THEM!
If you love them, that is truly all that matters!! Get it🙌🙌💕 it’s your home, let it make you happy 😍
I like bc I'm obsessed with ancient Rome and it reminds me of their amazing walls. So when they became popular I was like yes Bc it'll be possible for me without hiring a human to paint. I don't care about what's in either.
@@msb4838 I am such a slow thinking person I wanted a wallpaper forgetting the thing I'm a painter. And I can paint literally anything. Including human figures and ornaments. This I will do as soon as I finish with decluttering my space (working on it, really :) )
@@Izabela-ek5nhyou'll get there! It's a process. You're very lucky to be able to paint anything so enjoy your space!
I don't think I've thought of Lily Allen since her first or second album. She was kinda a smarmy London kid so to see her elegant and married to David is kinda whiplash lol.
Caroline, I just moved into my first solo apartment after breaking up with my boyfriend and your videos make me laugh & smile all the time. Thanks for making such fun content. I love this react series!
I would like the bathroom, if it wasn't a bathroom. It's like sitting room, but then it was turned into a mold farm by putting a bathtub in there with the carpet and wallpaper. I smiled at Caroline saying it looked like grandmothers place from the '80s, because I had literally been thinking 1880s befor she said that. Everything comes back around.
Bathroom carpet is so gross!
I hate it when a carpet is basically the floor anyway (no clue how to call it, but there’s some name for it). You always have to be so careful not to spill anything on it. But it’s a pretty British thing, I’ve had carpets everywhere in so many cottages in the UK…
@@Diana-qp2rw We call it wall-to-wall carpet. It was very popular in the states from about the 1960s through the 1990s but has fallen out of favor lately.
Plus you know who's going to drip all over that steamed up carpet and furniture??? Ewwww
Grandma's house in the 80s is perfect. Alllll the dustskirts and carpets remind me of visiting my elder as a little kid. My head can't stop thinking of "dated" because I've never seen it anywhere else lol.
Please, please make this a Saturday morning installment. Such fun! Take care. :) And thank you!
Haha. You're so right about how it seems like they only just met. I got the very same vibe from them the first time I saw their home tour. You do the best commentary - it's hilarious 😂
Love you and your videos and your podcast! I know this is way out of pocket but you’re so hard on yourself, you didn’t say anything mean or scandalous! I thought you were super generous actually. You’re a total joy and riot to watch; it’s just sometimes sad to hear the way you talk about/put yourself down (even if you’re being humorous). We all love you and you’re SO easy to love!!! I know ppl on yt are merciless so you have to make disclaimers but you have every right to share your opinions without qualifiers!!! You’re literally my absolute favorite person on this platform-you’re super intelligent, talented, funny, gorgeous, and insanely creative. You are hot shit and you’re so special! Own it, girl!!!!
YES to everything he said!!!!
Agree! And much too modest/self-depricating claiming not to have any expertise to comment on home tours! Yes, yes you absolutely do have plenty of expertise Interior Designer Caroline Winkler extraordinaire! Very generous with her comments indeed. If she sounded like Simon on American Idol (who's expertise is?) that would be a different story
I think it's part of her charm.
No, it is a hilarious extreme that Caroline is taking about herself that is so funny. It is not to be taken seriously.
I saw this AD ep when it launched! That bathroom is … for a specific couple. And I’m glad they found each other 💕
Great series! I laughed a lot. Thank youuuu!
I am only 5 minutes into the video and its already absolutely hilarious. Almost like the old youtube days when people did not take themselves too serious. Love it.
You were very generous with your critique here Caroline. I kept wondering "what would Elizabeth say" 😄 I struggled to find anything redeeming about this home. Even if David was generous about leaning into Lily's style it's appropriate to allow someone you live with to incorporate something of themselves into the design. My husband is extremely generous about my color choices and design. He does not like bold paint color so I keep it more neutral. I was married 26 years the first time and now 19 years the second. If you want your partner to feel at home in their home make it about them too. As someone who renovated a 1950's home and designed and built (we actually swung the hammers) a high-end home I would not recommend wall-to-wall in a wet space like a bathroom. Two things that jump out about that choice; 1. mold, 2. floor rot.
Hear hear
girl you are HILARIOUS! Your commentary is spot on and I love this series!! I just watched your other video with your sister and both had me CACKLING lol also you are not rude at all you literally comment so politely with respect to others homes it's so cute
BIG fan of this series already 😂 -- you're like inside my mind with all the thoughts I had when I watched this video, down to their awkward conversations, the funeral vibes on that fireplace, the bedding, etc. But omg I would NEVER put carpet in a bathroom, the thought of it makes me want to vomit lol.
I almost moved in with a guy who likes Scandinavian light wood and straight lines, and I’m all about art nouveau and Victorian haunted houses. It never would’ve worked. Now I’m with my husband who doesn’t have ANY opinions about the way things look so I get free reign!
Lol. He was American Classic; she was French Country. It would never work 😂

The first thing I thought when I saw that bedroom was how boring it was. Maybe what I was reacting to was the flat pillows. Not just that there's one per person, but also they are flat. Don't know why that bothered me so much. Plus, going from the explosion of pattern in the bathroom to plain pink makes made me yearn for more. As a sun worshipper, windows in the bedroom make me sad. I also agree about the window in the closet; it's really house goals.
It looks like a hotel room and it’s smaller than their bathroom
@@lexi7749 Their bedroom isn't even a room, it's a janitor's closet that's been redecorated by a 1970's 8yo girl.
Mural-esque wallpaper is classic and isn’t going anywhere. One of my favorite examples is the Chinese Room in the film Gosford Park where Constance Trentham, Maggie Smith’s character, was staying.
Highly recommend Troye Sivan's AD house tour. Such a cool and unique space and he's actually a normal person and not putting on a show in the tour. He obviously put a lot of love and care into his house and it's gorgeous.
Yes! It is one of the AD homes I actually loved.
His house is the best AD has ever toured. So homely and with so much positive energy and personality! Love that he lives there with his sister too.
Im not even in interior design stuff, i just enjoy listening to you speak
Me too here for your essence and personality
I loved this style of episode! Keep doing these AD reaction videos. I learned a lot, as you walked us through what you were noticing, liking, not liking.
I keep seeing comments about your uploads being Saturday morning cartoons and I do get it, this was so funny and entertaining, thank you!
Yes!! More of these, please. Endlessly delightful.
Just watched Jennifer Garner’s AD home tour and it was so delightful! She is so real and her home is fun and liveable! ❤
The way you make me feel SOOOO safe about design is incredible, I love you! I never feel like you'd be silently judgemental if you saw my home, the way I usually feel about some designers. I feel like you'd honestly tell me what I could improve and even if you didn't like something, you'd still be kind and considerate about it ❤❤❤
Yes there is one creator on here that is just so negative without bringing any insight that I had to stop watching
This is my favorite quality of yours, Caroline! Thank you!!
In the "Homey vs. Fancy' section, I think the aspect that makes it not feel like a home is how crowded it is. There are so many items that feel crammed into the space that it makes the room feel unlivable. I'd almost say claustrophobic, but it's not just because there isn't enough space to move around (I feel like I'd bang my knee on the coffee table), but also the decor seems expensive too. Like I'd be on edge in that room because I would be afraid to break something.
OMG! Tears rolling down my face from laughing too hard during your pillow rant! Please do this kind of thing again. This was hilarious. 😂
15:39 I feel like they’re secretly pranking the future owners of this house with that carpet 🤣
I loved your smack talk!! Cant wait for the next one! And I had to make a bowl of popcorn too! ;)
"I mean he's hot, I'll allow it"
If that's not my life philosophy I don't know what is
I did not want this to end 😭 we need more!
Ha! I watched that when it appeared on my yt feed. I‘M CONVINCED IT’S NOT THEIR REAL HOME!! They must be pulling our collective leg. It feels so off.
Your analysis of their relationship is getting me hyped for AD's tour of David Harbour's divorced dude's bachelor pad.
yassss hahahah
