- As you know, or maybe you don't, I am a freelance prop stylist. Brands hire me to style photoshoots and sets for their products, furniture pieces, homes, etc. I am SO lucky to LOVE both of my jobs!! You see my life on TH-cam, now come see my life on set.. as a prop stylist :-)

I love when TH-camrs have main jobs outside of this platform…makes the content so much more interesting and informative!
TH-cam can be such an isolating career, I love working on set and doing both!
Me too!
much more credible too!
Paige - Thank you. PLEASE more prop styling videos! I get so much inspiration for my personal space by watching your process. Thank you for taking us along.
There are so many cool jobs out there I wish I had known about when I was younger
It’s never to late
I know two young people who are prop/food stylists. I was like, what? So this is so interesting to watch and find out what they do.
Not too late! Do it.

@@christinegivens9048 I mean, I like my job now-- I'm a hairstylist. I get paid to be creative and gossip all day. The early grind of a career is not for the faint of heart. But if prop styling was big passion, no doubt worth it to switch!
Def would love to see more videos like this!!
Me too!! Commenting as much as I can to get more of this. 🎉❤
ME TOOOOOO!!!!!!
me too!!
It’s really interesting seeing the difference between styling a space for living and styling for photos. I learned something. Like, you can do things (or not) for a photo that in real life would be impractical. You have so much creative leeway. Yet, the photos look like you could walk right in and join the party. So inviting! Beautiful job! ❤
Oh my gosh this looks amazing, I have to say you are a master of your craft, “props” to you👏
thank you!!
@08:48: When you said, “I’m changing my mind, let’s put the couch in front of the door.” I said, ‘Noooooo.’ but when you moved it I realized it was *absolutely* the right thing to do. 👍🏾
That patio came out sooooo nice! ❤
I thought the same thing! I think it is because our first reflex is to think about the practicality... But it is a photo shoot, nobody will come through those doors and this set up will be taken apart right after!
I was baffled as to how it would work, but I was pleasantly surprised! It looked so much better
Wow it's so interesting to see what a prop stylist ACTUALLY does. When you described it before, I thought you were just responsible for putting things here and there, on top of the table, counters etc. But based on this vid, you actually do a lot more! You decide the layout of the furniture, and pretty much everything!
Many years ago I was a military wife and we had very little money, so I would buy a couple of sweet potatoes and grow the vines in hurricane style glasses. It was a very inexpensive way to have greenery in our humble military life home. I still think they are cute! Love your outdoor dining table styling!!
As someone who’s currently working on building my prop styling portfolio, I love this content! I always come to your account for inspiration & would love to see more behind the scenes because there isn’t much of that content out there. The sets you created are beautiful, i love the mix match and all the colors and textures you used, you added so much life to the more simple/ modern furniture. I look forward to seeing more of this kind of content!!
This is an inspiration! After moving to an urban setting from farmland Southern IL, I find that I am able to see beyond service jobs, teaching, and nursing. My first friend I met does costume design for a local drag bar and my other friend works at an indie jewelry startup. I am so proud and feel the most creative in a while. This is a definite passion I am finding! Thank you!!
Ugh my dream job! Wish I was younger to do it all over. Never followed my passion/dream and now in my 50’s regretting it. So happy for you Paige to doing what you love.
yes I love this, please do more prop styling! more tablescapes for indoor and outdoor parties, fireplace mantels, living rooms, gardens, you name it!!
So chill compared to commercials. Wish I had done print
Great job, you really elevated the brand's furniture with proper styling and it was nice for you to get outside and show us your hands-on work process.
11:25 I love this setup! I’m so interested to hear what other people would do. It’s clear you have a much more elevated style (especially more so than all of the current squiggle and checkerboard trends), but I’d love to know more about what sets you apart! Your videos are my favorite on TH-cam, pls keep making content! Also, if you ever had a tutorial video for how artists and makers can prop style and photograph their work to sell, I’d be so stoked to learn 💚
I love this! There’s not enough information out there about being a prop stylist. I would absolutely watch more of these ❤
Wow- this is easily one of my favorite videos you’ve ever done. It was just so interesting/fun to watch it come together. I honestly thought that the white/black outdoor set from the first shoot was too sterile, and I had no clue how you were going to make it work, but you did! Also, I loved the red blanket across the lounge chair. Please do more of these vids if other clients let you. It was enjoyable to see some of your friends on set as well!
Thank you for taking us along. I wish I was still a teacher in high school. This would’ve been a great learning experience about different careers. Thank you again.
I love this Paige! Take us to work any time please - I will always watch!
Also I'm sure it's hard to explain your decisions at the time - working and filming! But you could even do one where you do a voiceover about your choices and why
(also might take a moment for ppl to catch on with how fun prop styling is to watch so keep making them! I know you're going to blow up)
I never knew you styled for Joybird but their ads always jump out at me. I always stop to study their styling . I would def love to see more of these!
Damn! You elevated the shit out of that super trendy fast furniture
this is so interesting to see, i’m in the UK and finding it really hard to find any sort of job like this even though i know they must exist! all the ones here seem to be fashion based. would love you to do more videos like this, and how you go about finding jobs x
You’re amazing. I want this job!This video was so inspiring! You should make a video about your career journey in props and interiors and all the cool things! Would love to hear about the steps you took!
She did explain more of how she got into prop styling in a video posted maybe 2 to 4 months ago I just happened to come across like yesterday where she is pickling an onion and she talked about where she went to school, got her internships & how she eventually got into into prop styling so if you look it up, it’s here on her page you can watch that and she’s inspired me too, so I understand your interest as well.
Can you leave the title of that video under this comment?
@@kristenwhite2404 here it is th-cam.com/video/nW9RZr7QM4A/w-d-xo.html
a tea spoon of vermouth works really good for matching liquids in yellow, orange and brown clear tones ;)
This was so satisfying to watch. I cannot wait to host my next back-garden dinner party.
Stick a candle in a plant. Great idea. Loved what you did. The great thing about neutral furniture is that it can be changed so easily with pillows & other accessories. You didn’t overdo it either. Well done.
I have been waiting for another one of these for a long time. I’d love to see more and learn your journey to becoming a prop stylist. I enjoy your other content too.
What a cool job! I would love a video on how you got started and built up your freelancing career. I never even knew prop stylist was a thing until I started watching your videos 💕
Yes! More of your shoots ❤ you do a great job and I love that it’s not trending!!!!
This was so fascinating and fully inspired by that dining set up, just need to find me a garden. More of these please, the method and explanations are helpful
Would definitely love to see more of these. You have such a cool job!
This is so interesting!! Thanks for taking us to work. I am totally doing that potato thing
Love watching the prop styling process…more to it that one might think! Would love to hear how you chose that as a profession and since you are free lance, how did you get started and get your business set up.
The video we never knew we needed 🙌
Yes! We need more of these. I’m really interested in prop styling and set design, and there are barely any good videos about it online, and yours are by far the best!!
This was super fun! More please! * I loved all your styling choices…stripes, ceramics, weirdo plants! 💗
Yes do more prop styling videos! I love to learn what it is like. Can you show us some shots of the final look?
Aww. I used to love going to Mickey Hargitay's when i lived in Los Angeles forever ago. Fun fact - He is Jayne Mansfield's Son. Super nice guy. Always beautiful plants there. Love this video. Thank you for the behind the scenes peek at your life as a stylist. Fun and fascinating. :)
This was so fun to watch Paige! Yes, please let us see you style more photoshoots. It is both entertaining and informative to see you on your freelance jobs.
As someone who has been fascinated by decor in film and TV all of my life, I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing! Definitely, film in Florida if they'll let you.
Damnnn these sets came out amazing! Would def watch more prop styling videos
I really enjoyed it and would love to see more. When I owned a vacation rental management company I did everything, bought furnishings, soft goods, booked photographers then I would go during the shoot and style each room. I really enjoyed that part of the business.
Possibly my favorite video to date. I love that we got to see a slice of your day job. It seems like everyone you work with is vibes. ❤
Fantastic! Love the table top color and mixing. Have done a little of this in my distant past, and the prep and the clean up are such a big part. You look very organized bc you made it look easy on set.
I could watch an entire series of this!!
Oh Paige that was brilliant ! You’re good at what you do as you make it look effortless. Your style is different from the norm which I love.
This was one of my favorite videos! Please make more!
This was so great to watch. Loved how you styled away from the modern elements of the furniture. Everything looked amazing. I’m also a stylist and really enjoy watching other prop stylists methods and seeing everything come together.
I miss Los Angeles! Your wonderful video transported me. Even the background noise is lovely.
You are beyond talented! Loved watching the process of this. Amazing how you can transform these spaces/vignettes. You make it seem easy but you truly have an eye!
Watching you create has inspired me to do more with my home. Thank you for all the wonderful content!
Very fun. Interesting to see behind the scenes. Love the propagating taters and the candlesticks in the potted plants. What great ideas. ❤
Yes! Do another vid on this. Florida here you come!
this was fun! I love the mismatch and pops of color
Such natural ease in your styling - love the choices - you seem more comfortable styling that at home. The space is open, maybe that's it. You feel free. Loved it.
love the candles in the pot!
I’m just big watching your channel and it’s the best thing
So cool to see this side of decor companies! You do such a beautiful job!!
I love these videos. It's the job I wanted when I was younger but had to give up on that so watching it makes me happy and realize that I really could have done it!
Pure Awesomeness! Thanks for the behind the seen, so appreciated!
Until I started watching your videos, I hadn’t heard of prop stylist. It’s cool to see the particulars of your job. I dig that the resulting vignettes are casual, a “friends hanging out” vibe. Would love a video with you explaining your choices & how you create what the client needs for the shoot.
Always was curious about what a day in the life of a prop stylist entailed. Loved watching and would enjoy seeing more videos like this!
Yes! Would love to see more! This was great
Wow LOVED THIS! Amazing content paige!! would love to see more like this👏👏👏
Yes Paige! Love seeing you in action
Yes keep doing more prop videos.
Ohhhh Ms Thing is good at her job. So LA yet looks like the Hamptons, i don't know how you do it!
Yes please to more, that was fascinating!
Yes bring us along!
LOVED it! Please do more :)
Loved it. Huge fan of your style.
yes to more of these love them!!!!!!!
this video was amazing, Paige! Would love to see more content like this from you!
I love it! I want to see more. What a cool job.
So organized! What a dream in-house prop closet.
The dining table looks wonderful! Great job!
Yes! More prop styling videos. Super interesting :)
Would love to see more prop styling videos!
Loved it! You've inspired me to try out set design assisting, I already am a fashion stylist assistant but I love this craft too so I thank you for sparking this idea for me
I love your table setting! I just saw another TH-camr doing one of these and I didn’t get the vibe that I got here, like we are in the middle of a get together. I thought you needed a little color on set 3 and set one. Perfect. You get the vibe that this is a well lived place instead of furniture ad. I guess the difference between ok and I have to have this!
That last table shot is gorgeous!!
Just re watched with as I am trying to break into this field, coming from the photographer position. Currently struggling to find what products can or can’t be used especially for commercial shoots. Thanks for the content Paige!
I loved this video Paige. Thanks for taking us along.
Curious to hear how you got into this line of work.
This was so much fun for me. I have been to actual photo shoots which are long and tedious but this is the fun part!!!
Omg favorite type of video! Please, more of these! Can we see what the aftermath of the shoot looks like? Do you return props or does the company keep all of them? Did they give you a company card or do you get reimbursed? So curious about the little details of the process. Thank you for sharing!!! 🤗
You make it look so easy. I know there must be a lot of background research and planning going into it. I would love to keep learning more about all the ins and outs of prop styling!
Wow, I really enjoyed learning about your career,I follow you weekly never being disappointed beautiful weather too.
Would love to hear about how you got into prop styling & that process!
I LOVE the idea of having your table centerpiece/floral arrangement be a propagated potato
This was a really interesting look into your process.
paige i love you! i would love to see a video talking about your personal fashion sense! i understand if its not a road u wanna go down but i would love to hear u talk about it bc i just love ur fashion! love ur taste all around
BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE. PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!
PLEASE do more of these I loved it!
Love these videos! Would love to see the process from you get a job, how you plan/moodboard etc, to the finished product.
FUN! Definately do more photo shoots and Florida for sure. More details about budgets you have for props, travel and expenses (that they or you have to spend.
That was super fun to watch and so inspiring! It makes so much sense that this is your day job :)
That might be the most fun job ever!
I love this job so much. I'm constantly doing this in my head or when I get the chance to decorate parties! 😂
so inspiring! prop styling is such a powerful tool and i really appreciate you sharing your method with us just a little bit. more, always more!
