You all probably dont care but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I love any tips you can offer me.
After 37 years of marriage; best advice I can give you “pick your battles” - we should do whatever we can to help the other one and make them happy! You guys are such amazing role models for young couples! Just keep putting God first in your lives snd the rest will fall into place!! Love your vlogs! 💕💕💕and yes LOVE Carlin’s new hair but I can’t believe she cut it! It’s beautiful!
@@deborahandrew4129 We've been married 47 years also and I agree that you should pick your battles. There will be a lot of give and take. The desk looks nice there. I am happy for Evan that he has a place to vlog. Your hair looks very nice Carlin!
Yes totally agree with all the seasoned marriages! I have been married 43 years, and you most definitely have to choose your battles! Love and forgive each other daily! Please remember neither of you are perfect or knows everything lol Happy Birthday Evan Lol pick your spot in the house 😂
Love the hair!!!!!!! You're beautiful either way. Pick your battles, marriage is a daily struggle we all have when we're married but love is the most important thing, remember that. I'm 72, love like I'm 20, lol. I do love my husband more now than when we got married. We fight still but rarely & our fights are very minor now, we've learned that in the end nothing matters except our relationship with our Lord & each other. Love you guys.
The way you two express your true feelings without getting into another fight is awesome. Definitely don't be afraid to post more vlogs like this. My husband and I are gearing up to build a new house. I'll definitely keep this on my "saved for later" playlist because we've already had this argument and the plans aren't even drawn up. Evan, the way you are with Layla just melted me into a big puddle of mush! I can see why Carlin picked you. Much love and blessings to the Stew Crew.
I love that he has his own space! It's so important for him to come home to his home (yours together) and not feel like it's just yours. I love to decorate and make things flow, but I've found after 26 years of marriage that I rarely get my way. Compromise and giving in is much more frequent. But arguing and becoming bitter is sin and sucks much more.
My husband and I (married 15 years) rarely get in arguments. HOWEVER, when we decorate our house, then the different opinions fly! 🤣 I totally get where Carlin is coming from, but the desk does look good in that spot. 😊
Evan, just so you know. That argument is far from over. She can deal with it for now, but I see a bigger house coming. Get ready for house hunting conversations next.
Love love love Carlin's hair, it's gorgeous!!! And I was definitely on Carlin's side that it would ruin the living room, but the desk doesn't look bad at all! It looks like a really nice office space! Great picks, Evan!
Love the desk and location. When you live in a smaller place you have to utilize the space you have. Definitely needed something practical to do vlog work on.
Love the new hairstyle, Carlin. I think the desk looks good. Happy Birthday, Evan. Little Layla is getting so big and so cute. Glad you both are feeling better.
I absolutely LOVE Carlin’s hair! It looks stunning and matches her fun-loving and magnetic personality. Also, Evan I love that desk. It looks awesome and a great spot for it too! Happy Birthday 🎉🎊🎂🎉🎊
I think the desk looks great where it is.You two are so sweet and loving to each other.As someone who was married for 43 years before I lost my husband let me just say compromise and communication is everything in a marriage.You are doing everything right.love you guys.
This desk thing in the living room happened to me with my hubby. We live in a small apartment he had nowhere to set up his area as well. He picked his own stuff and it did not go with my decor but I chose to die to self although it wasn’t easy. I see it brings him joy so now it brings be joy.
Carlin I totally get how cringy it feels to have the decor style messed up lol. But it’s really not that bad! Evan should add some greenery decor to the desk to help tie it together lol
Not going to lie, I was scared for Carlins living room lol. I would of never picked that desk because I'm all about storage. I'm a big time minimalist but I love that desk! The only thing I would suggest is hiding the cords. Also when its not being used maybe a screen (or idk what you would call it) to hide the space. But overall I love it❤
I personally love the mid century look, and I think the desk has the clean lines of mid century pieces! Could fit with any decor! Also, I am struggling with the great desk chair debate too....haha...hard to find something comfortable but stylish!
The desk looks fabulous. I think it blends well with the decor. Your home and family are absolutely beautiful. Keep up the great work. Much prayers and love from Oregon💚💛💚💛💚
The desk looks good...adds another layer of 'class and beauty' to your loving home. In the future when you move to a bigger place, you'll be so glad you have it...no spending $$$ then on office stuff. Mature decision Carlin....
This is some encouragement for Carlin💚. We are going on 15 years and yes, as others have commented, you will pick your battles. Evan took you at your word "pick anything you want"😆. Maybe next time you say something like pick your top 3 and let's choose together. Guys are the first to admit they don't always consider what we think of, and vice versa. Also, let it be a fragrant offering to the Lord when we lay ourselves down for our husbands...the Lord us speaking this to me as well right now. Love you guys, the Lord watch and protect you and your beautiful families. Let Evan's radiant smile comfort you. Pretty soon, you probably won't even notice the desk...💚🙏
Happy Birthday Evan 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 Love the desk in the "Man Corner" lol I'm sure it's nice to have your own work space and so funny how happy you were about the office chair Carlin...sometimes we just have to give the husband's a lil space in the house 😉 Glad too see ya'll healthy and happy 😊
Carlin is such a fantastic air head😁👌cept there's a big ♥ inside. I love her!! Spunky, vivacious, funny and so full of life! 😋 Not a boring moment with this couple! 👫 The hair looks great!! 💐
I did the same thing for my small home too! Having a desk for work, even if it's scooched in the corner, makes a HUGE difference. You're going to love it!
Your hair looks great Carlin, I love how short it is! You are like Josie and Katie's triplet now. 😜 In my personal opinion I think your natural hair color is my favorite but blonde is a cool change. Evan, I LOVE YOUR DESK!! It's sick. 😍🤪🤙🏽
I remember this was the first huge fight my hubby and I had too when we got our first home together! I love decorating and our styles are just completely different, he just wanted to buy different pieces he liked rather than thinking about the look of the room as a whole. I’ve since learned the trick is: pick three options that you like and would be happy with and then ask him which one he wants to get. My husband thinks he picked all the furniture in our home when in reality it’s all stuff I picked and I love, so everyone wins!
Looks like my desk I got 2 or 3 months ago. I also bought 2 of the weave look sterilite drawers (2 shallow drawers at top, 2 regular drawers at the bottom) to put underneath each side of the desk to give me desk storage, and they blend in very well. Almost looks as if they are actually part of the desk. Love you guys! Love all the Bates! God bless you all!
You 2 are an amazing young couple. You are definitely meant to be together. . Ive been married 31 years.. Evan your desk looks awesome, perfect spot for it.
Sooo exciting!! Loving your hair Carlin! The office really isn’t a deal breaker! Adding a few of the common pops of color in the house above Evan’s office area will tie it all in!! Some gold and green decor/greenery and shelves, metallic picture frames etc!
Love the desk Evan, Happy Birthday. Love the all the props. I think the light has to go, you need a modern style to match the desk. Carlin the hair style looks amazing on you. You look fresh and bright. Hey, that's is the kind of light Even needs in the corner.....fresh, like modern and bright..............no lamp shade.......................Love you guys. Both looking healthy now..... You guys have been through so much this year, but still looking good and happy. Love it.
I love your office corner. We've lived in a small home from our marriage 24 years ago to present. Our living room has been our nursery, toddlers room, childs room, day care room....etc. our dining room has been our dining room, office with desks (one large, one small) and cupboard space. It's not how big the home is but how much love is in the home.
The desk looks very modern to me. I would've personally gotten one with storage but looks like Evan has everything very organized. I think it looks good in that spot and in that room. After 12 years of marriage, you learn to not sweat the small stuff. Always put your spouse above yourself. My husband is always doing things to make me happy. If something like this would make him happy I'd do it because that's just what we do. Yall are so cute. Love the hair Carlin. But your gorgeous, any hairdo would look great on you.
I LOVE Carlin's new hair! I did the same with my hair last month. I told the hairdresser I wanted it blonder & shorter in some way and she totally surprised me! I love watching you guys! You guys are too cute!!
I can relate to Carlin with Evan getting a desk. My husband has been working from home since the middle of March when Covid started in NY. So he turned our front room which was an open sitting room for most of the year and during Christmas time we put our 🎄 in there and he turned it into an office with a desk, chair, shelf and new light. He ordered his desk without me looking at it and said he tried to keep the style close to what we had. At first I cringed but then I realized that he needed his space to feel comfortable and make it his own as he would be working from home for the foreseeable future. I have to admit it’s kind of growing on me! Compromise! 🧡🤗
Evan, your words are so sweet and true! Layla was just too cute getting her nails done. Carlin, I am praying for you and you are handling all you are going through with such grace. Know you are not alone and God will carry you through. You are a wonderful example of how to go through trials and stay strong and of good courage. Bless you and your family!!!
Carlin your haircut is super cute and looks great on you. Evan you did so well picking out the desk and other office equipment (I'm a little envious of your monitor size). The living room/office/play room is still soooooo nice. Good Job to both of you.
Carlin your hair is so cute! Katie and you favor alot more now both of you are so beautiful!! Happy birthday Evan!! I love watching your videos and your family!! Glad you guys are feeling better! Layla is so adorable!!! May God continue to bless your family! Take care!
You guys are so fun to watch! :) I've been married to my husband for almost 8 years and we have different styles. He lets me do most of the decorating but sometimes he wants to put something in our house that doesn't "match" or "go with" the rest of the things. I let him do it, honestly, because I want him to feel like it's his house too (which it is).
Evan you're desk/ office is fantastic. That's a wonderful birthday gift. It's you and you deserve a little piece of the house. When you guys are able to you will upgrade and get a bigger space. I'm the time being it looks great. Congratulations! And Happy Birthday.
Love the hair cuts and color! I love the desk, Too! If you want to hide it, put up a folding room divider. Lots to pick from on Wayfair and other sites.
The desk looks Great! Carlin , yes I've been in your shoes. But the desk really isn't anything. My husband has had our whole grage and his two side business in n my whole house for 1 month & 1 week. So count your blessings girl 😉!!! Love ya guys glad that you all are feeling better. Have a Great Weekend! P.S. Love your hair Carlin looks Great on you!
Your house is so pretty. I love the dark green wall in the bedroom! If you want to combine the styles of the living room and desk, you could get a different desk chair to help blend the two.
I love it.Sweet wife this is marriage. You have to let them get what they want sometimes. We were 16 when we got married. This will be year 38. Just remember,no animal heads. You are gorgeous and it’s your hair,so you have to love it.mine is really long and my mother in law says I’m too old for long hair.i am keeping it. Love your little family so much,and the whole Bates crew.God Bless and love from Tennessee xxooxx
Congratulations Cynthia Miller on 38 years! You both have learned the secret of compromise and mass communication and Christ must be the center of your lives!
Love Carlin's hair, and I actually agree with Carlin on the placement of the desk, it would look awesome in a dedicated office but probably a little awkward right next to the door. But in saying that you have to work with what you've got so thats likely the best place for it then. Also bonus is you get all the natural light from those windows.
I love Carlin's new "do", and yes, the desk does look nice and functional. In a small house,its gonna be hard to find the perfect spot for the desk. The biggest problem I see with the desk,its right by the front door. Might make getting in and out a little awkward One word of advice from an old married woman, pick your battles..
Yalls decorating style is SO nice. I love your house. I wish I had a decorator friend to help me out. My living room feels so dark. And your haircut is gorgeous.
Carlin- love the color and cut!! It was time for a change. Evan- love the modern style of the desk. So glad that you didn’t go with the big and clunky 1980’s style desk. It looks great on the wall!!!
I love it, you look fabulous. It’s so nice to see you’ll in a different light, from the show. Pants. I love the Bates one of my favorite shows. Evan is hilarious and his office is hooked up. Happy belated Birthday 🎂
You guys are just the cutest!! Gonna have to say the desk looks fine in the living room but, I also agree with Carlin that it cramps up the space. Look at it this way, you guys will ALWAYS be together when Evan is working!! Love you guys. Stay safe!!
Happy Birthday your desk looks awesome. You did a great job picking it out. Glad your sweet wife let you get it for your big day. She will adjust to it over time just takes awhile with decorators who wants their home a certain way. But it fits in perfectly hopefully she will see that in the coming days and weeks. 😁❤
I was expecting something waaaay worse the way you all were talking it up! LOL This actually looks nice! Just be careful as cutie-pie Layla begins crawling and is mobile, you'll want to secure those cords and tower! Toddlers are insanely curious! Love and peace to you!
Happy Birthday Evan. Carlin your hair looks great your are gorgeous either way. The desk looks great where it is and doesn’t taking away from the living room. I am sure Evan will get a lot of work done there. Love your Fam
I love the desk. Your home is beautiful and just remember you won’t always be there. One day you will move to a larger house and he will have an office. You are the sweetest couple made for each other. Layla is a doll!!
A blanket on the chair and a plant on the desk and it will blend perfectly. Pop a couple pictures on the wall above the monitor too. Looking great guys.
Beautiful hair!!! Awww girl you are so sweet letting him have what he wants even though it doesn't fit with your decor. Evan, nice desk though. You two are the cutest. I enjoy watching your channel and of course Bringing up Bates!!! God bless ya'll!!!
Carlin adore you hairstyle! Evan you deserve your work space. Think everything looks nice in the living area, all flows together . I think different textures and colors adds warmth. Beautiful little home. I think you are the most adorable couple God has brought together. May God bless your family always!! Love watching you videos, they bring joy into my days.❤️
1st. I love your hair Carlin. 2nd Happy Birthday Evan. 3rd our living room is about the same size as yours so I know all about space lol. I think you have a very nice room and the desk fits just fine.
Just a suggestion but if the TV cabinet will fit on the wall behind the door, it will elongate your room and make it feel bigger. Even if you don't use every piece of the cabinet, it will help to move it. Right now you have the TV cabinet, the large sofa AND a walk way through the living room. If you can move the TV cabinet, you only have to create the walkway leaving more room for furniture. The desk could actually back up to the sofa that sits crosswise in the room. If it were me, I would put the large sofa on the wall opposite the door with a great visual piece of art above it. It will make a great first impression when you come in. You can leave the other sofa where it is, just bring it down further into the room and put the desk behind it or against the back wall under your mirror. This will allow your window treatments to hang better as well. You might even consider adios(ing) one of your sofas.
I think the desk works there, for now. It's not forever. You will expand the family and need a bigger home and maybe that home will have an office for you. Being honest can be hard but you all seem to have worked through that well. I love spending time with your family. Always encouraging. God Bless you all......
Love your hair Carlin!!! And the desk actually looks good where it is!! Way neater than my desk that's for sure!! lol A nice green plant for colour would be good though! :)
Props to Carlin for being honest that she doesn't love it but is happy that Evan is happy. #marriage
I like your desk and Evan

You guys are so fun to watch! :)
I've been married to my husband for almost 8 years and we have different styles. He lets me do most of the decorating but sometimes he wants to put something in our house that doesn't "match" or "go with" the rest of the things. I let him do it, honestly, because I want him to feel like it's his house too (which it is).
Evan you're desk/ office is fantastic. That's a wonderful birthday gift. It's you and you deserve a little piece of the house. When you guys are able to you will upgrade and get a bigger space. I'm the time being it looks great. Congratulations! And Happy Birthday.
Love the hair cuts and color! I love the desk, Too! If you want to hide it, put up a folding room divider. Lots to pick from on Wayfair and other sites.
The desk looks Great! Carlin , yes I've been in your shoes. But the desk really isn't anything. My husband has had our whole grage and his two side business in n my whole house for 1 month & 1 week. So count your blessings girl 😉!!! Love ya guys glad that you all are feeling better. Have a Great Weekend!
P.S. Love your hair Carlin looks Great on you!
You. guys seem so happy. Evan is such a good husband!
Your house is so pretty. I love the dark green wall in the bedroom! If you want to combine the styles of the living room and desk, you could get a different desk chair to help blend the two.
Happy Birthday Evan. Love the desk. I’m excited for you guys . Love the hair cut! So pretty
*Who else loves Carlin's new hair?? Whoever is reading this you are loved and special, don't let anyone say any different :)*

Thank you going through something major right now needed to see this comment.
Super cute! I love the willingness to compromise which is so key. Nice work area! Sometimes we just have to do the best with what we have
I love it.Sweet wife this is marriage. You have to let them get what they want sometimes. We were 16 when we got married. This will be year 38. Just remember,no animal heads. You are gorgeous and it’s your hair,so you have to love it.mine is really long and my mother in law says I’m too old for long hair.i am keeping it. Love your little family so much,and the whole Bates crew.God Bless and love from Tennessee xxooxx
Congratulations Cynthia Miller on 38 years! You both have learned the secret of compromise and mass communication and Christ must be the center of your lives!
Cynthia, I am so sorry that your MIL is giving advice where it is not needed or wanted. It's your hair, do what you want with it.
Your MIL has no say in your life....not very intelligent to interfere with her opinion....
Yes keep it! As soon as mine grows back Im keeping it for always :)
You guys are so cute and funny. Love your enthusiasm and happiness with everyday life. Evan is such a great dad and husband.
Love Carlin's hair, and I actually agree with Carlin on the placement of the desk, it would look awesome in a dedicated office but probably a little awkward right next to the door. But in saying that you have to work with what you've got so thats likely the best place for it then. Also bonus is you get all the natural light from those windows.
The desk/office set up looks great! The hair cut & color is perfect! Love it all!!
I love Carlin's new "do", and yes, the desk does look nice and functional. In a small house,its gonna be hard to find the perfect spot for the desk. The biggest problem I see with the desk,its right by the front door. Might make getting in and out a little awkward
One word of advice from an old married woman, pick your battles..
Yalls decorating style is SO nice. I love your house. I wish I had a decorator friend to help me out. My living room feels so dark. And your haircut is gorgeous.
Carlin- love the color and cut!! It was time for a change. Evan- love the modern style of the desk. So glad that you didn’t go with the big and clunky 1980’s style desk. It looks great on the wall!!!
I love it, you look fabulous.
It’s so nice to see you’ll in a different light, from the show. Pants. I love the Bates one of my favorite shows. Evan is hilarious and his office is hooked up.
Happy belated Birthday 🎂
Love your hair, Carlin, it's so cute😍, and I also like the desk! 👍🏻👍🏻 Happy 25th Birthday, Evan!🎉
I like the desk! And I actually think it goes with the living room style well.
You guys are just the cutest!! Gonna have to say the desk looks fine in the living room but, I also agree with Carlin that it cramps up the space. Look at it this way, you guys will ALWAYS be together when Evan is working!! Love you guys. Stay safe!!
I'm glad you both are feeling better i love your desk it fits the space so nicely and Carlin your hair is so gorgeous
I like the desk I think it looks great right there. Your house is beautiful and it doesn’t look too cluttered. Good job guys.
Happy Birthday your desk looks awesome. You did a great job picking it out. Glad your sweet wife let you get it for your big day. She will adjust to it over time just takes awhile with decorators who wants their home a certain way. But it fits in perfectly hopefully she will see that in the coming days and weeks. 😁❤
I was expecting something waaaay worse the way you all were talking it up! LOL This actually looks nice! Just be careful as cutie-pie Layla begins crawling and is mobile, you'll want to secure those cords and tower! Toddlers are insanely curious! Love and peace to you!
Carlin you are so beautiful you should be a model. Evan your desk looks nice 👌. Layla is getting so big. Shes so precious. Have a blessed week!
Happy Birthday Evan. Carlin your hair looks great your are gorgeous either way. The desk looks great where it is and doesn’t taking away from the living room. I am sure Evan will get a lot of work done there. Love your Fam
Love your new hair colour and cut, Carlin and love Evan’s new desk! It looks like it was made for that spot!
I love the desk. Your home is beautiful and just remember you won’t always be there. One day you will move to a larger house and he will have an office. You are the sweetest couple made for each other. Layla is a doll!!
A blanket on the chair and a plant on the desk and it will blend perfectly. Pop a couple pictures on the wall above the monitor too. Looking great guys.
Beautiful hair!!! Awww girl you are so sweet letting him have what he wants even though it doesn't fit with your decor. Evan, nice desk though. You two are the cutest. I enjoy watching your channel and of course Bringing up Bates!!! God bless ya'll!!!
Carlin's hair looks so good on her!
I love it!
I'm sorry I like her long hair
Debra Kuntz no need to be sorry,both are cute.
I love your hair Carlin! But that’s easy. I love your hair every way you do it. And I love the new desk set up, Evan!
I love your hair catlin. It suits you. Layla is growing fast. Happy birthday Evan. ❤️💖💕
I love you guys!!❤ You have a beautiful family!! The desk looks great!!!❤
The desk looks really cool! Looks very professional and Layla seems to enjoy it! 😂😂
Carlin adore you hairstyle! Evan you deserve your work space. Think everything looks nice in the living area, all flows together . I think different textures and colors adds warmth. Beautiful little home. I think you are the most adorable couple God has brought together. May God bless your family always!! Love watching you videos, they bring joy into my days.❤️
1st. I love your hair Carlin. 2nd Happy Birthday Evan. 3rd our living room is about the same size as yours so I know all about space lol. I think you have a very nice room and the desk fits just fine.
Carlin your hair looks amazing! It's so fun looking and fresh and really fits your great personality! Also, hope you had a great 25th birthday Evan!
Just a suggestion but if the TV cabinet will fit on the wall behind the door, it will elongate your room and make it feel bigger. Even if you don't use every piece of the cabinet, it will help to move it. Right now you have the TV cabinet, the large sofa AND a walk way through the living room. If you can move the TV cabinet, you only have to create the walkway leaving more room for furniture. The desk could actually back up to the sofa that sits crosswise in the room. If it were me, I would put the large sofa on the wall opposite the door with a great visual piece of art above it. It will make a great first impression when you come in. You can leave the other sofa where it is, just bring it down further into the room and put the desk behind it or against the back wall under your mirror. This will allow your window treatments to hang better as well. You might even consider adios(ing) one of your sofas.
Love the hair carlin!So glad y’all are feeling better!
Carlin.. you look FABULOUS!! You all are just the BEST and love watching you all. Baby Layla is a gorgeous baby. Love you guys!!
I think the desk works there, for now. It's not forever. You will expand the family and need a bigger home and maybe that home will have an office for you. Being honest can be hard but you all seem to have worked through that well. I love spending time with your family. Always encouraging. God Bless you all......
I really like the desk and office area, and Carlin, your hair is adorable. You two are too cute!! ❤️
Evan, I like your desk. I don't think it takes away from the decor at all. You and Carlin are adorable!
Love your hair Carlin!!! And the desk actually looks good where it is!! Way neater than my desk that's for sure!! lol A nice green plant for colour would be good though! :)
Love your hair you are so beautiful. You have such a beautiful family. Love you guys
