@@bitchlasagna1 Same. I found them at the same time and liked both. I thought it was one person but I knew there was something different, lol. Then one day I saw Paige and thought, “isn’t her name Caroline” or vice versa. Then I found the other and binged watched both.
I'm one of those guys that constitute that 20% of Caroline's male audience and also a long time subscriber of Paige's channel. Everyone has already spoken very eloquently about this video so I'll just say this: to me, the point of this video is about the beauty of a friendship being born, right in front of our eyes. Unlike a shabby chic piece, you can't fake that; this is pure vintage. ❤
In Shabby Chic’s defense (lol), the designer who coined the term-Rachel Ashwell-has said herself that she avoids faux old pieces that have been painted and intentionally distressed to look worn. In her book she says, “To buy a piece that you will have to turn into something shabby is to miss the point, for the appeal of a piece is in its natural aging, not in the false creation of the appearance of age.” So the inventor of shabby chic would actually agree with you :)
@@user-zk5rt3gb3e I have some tricks I use to get the energy out of things, as I believe in getting rid of bad energies and that there are ways to do so, so you can have used things
@@user-zk5rt3gb3e: I am the total opposite. I love antiques; wearing used clothing, jewelry, and shoes; living in old lived-in homes, and beautiful, thoughtful architecture, art, design, music, literature, and craftsmanship created eons ago by someone else. ❤
Love it. The only point I’d make is that you recommend just going for a real vintage Persian rug instead of a faux vintage rug because they’re easy enough to find…but ignore the fact that real vintage Persian rugs (bigger than a large bath mat) can easily cost literally thousands of dollars (even on Revival). Dunno, just struck me as odd. I think the better advice would be “go another design route if you don’t have $$$$ to spend on a real vintage rug,” not “duh, just get a real one”
@@Rebelliousrefinementright? I can't remember the last time I bought a piece of furniture or home decor that wasn't vintage or second hand and I disagree with them on the rug issue. Vintage rugs, new old stock, persian rugs, etc. are so hard to find at an affordable price. If it's quality and you like it then put it in your home.
@@Sssilentlaugh I felt that way with Paige Wassel when I first started watching 😁 (Paige don’t come after me lol) but there’s something about them that you love and relate too. And that natural raw honesty that does not apologize, is by far my favorite attribute about them both. ☺️💜
@@FrogeniusW.G. I know?right !! We need to protect Caroline and Paige. Not that they need it they are strong women. But still that’s what community is for right?! 😊💕
The discussion of making your home an authentic representation of its setting hit hard, but I think I'm nailing the "old house in the ghetto" aesthetic that I was shooting for.

Caroline’s home is wonderful. So personal and fantastic design sense. It is rare when one see a home on TH-cam that you see every object, furniture etc that was actually curated by the person.
What a gift ! You two should get together more often...virtually if you can't travel all across the country each time, which you can't. Love you both !
I totally agree with what you said about how we’re influenced by the spaces during our upbringing. The cool thing is I’m now seeing touches of this in my four daughter’s but they make it their own which in turn inspires me back. I was absolutely influenced my own mother so I’m in the middle of it all and it’s wonderful!
Caroline, your authenticity and willingness to be real, funny, and a real person is definitely what makes you cool. I totally love you and your content. I am so happy when I see that you've posted. Keep being you. You're wonderful.
It was like watching myself with my friend! I would be Caroline and she would be Paige. It's like a cute dog plus cute cat situation that works perfectly. Please please do more collabs together to increase everyone's global happiness
There are a few reasons why I could think someone may not want to actually get a real vintage rug. 1. they want a washable rug that also looks vintage because they have pets kids etc. (the ability to clean something yourself without emptying the bank is valuable to a large family house) 2. they intend on having it in a indoor outdoor space like a covered patio or something. (Outdoors isn’t really good for natural fabrics) 3. in art room or something messy where you don’t want to have a real piece of history get ruined by accident. 4. You’re in a dorm or a rented space or a space that you may not stay in for a long period of time and may not have the ability to take things with you when you leave.
It's one of the things some of the TH-cam interior design commentators do that irks me, is like when Paige says why is the parquet flooring in the bedroom/it doesn't go with the design. Most of us can't change the flooring in any our rentals or homes just because it doesn't go with what we can change for much cheaper like furniture or paint which you can get cheap or bring with you place to place. Most people dont rip up a floor just so the design is better. They just have to live with it.
That's how I felt about her fave part of that one room- the floors. Esp these days so many (if not most) of us can't change things like floors. I want to hear reasonable design advice that applies to the majority of the population lol
I love this!! More videos like this, please! Also, starting from the 13:00-ish minute mark, it would be so helpful if you guys would say WHY you thought it didn't work! I personally thought it looked like a teenager's bedroom, didn't see anything wrong with it (other than the way of the rug).
This is AWESOME!! The reason I found Paige Wassel TH-cam channel was because Caroline had recommended on favorite interior designers, once upon a time, and she wasn’t wrong. She is cool
I have a *beautiful,* colorful, *fake* vintage “Persian” rug that’s kinda plush and 100% wool. It doesn’t have that fake faded look, which I can’t stand, and didn’t cost me a fortune. I love it so much I bought another one exactly like it that’s in my garage waiting for the current one to wear out. It’s discontinued now, but I’d buy it again. ❤
This was fun! I can see the easy back and forth. I hope Caroline doesn’t start deleting her old videos. I like to share when I am referencing them to family, friends or even random internet people.
I absolutely loved seeing these worlds collide. Caroline and Paige are so talented and so different. To me, Caroline is a philosopher and master storyteller, and Paige is an instinctual visual artist and a master of vibes. Both are phenomenal talents and so very watchable. Thanks to both for the engaging content!
Finally, the dream collaboration I've been asking for! I love seeing you two together!! It'd be fun to see you both restyle each other's homes, lol. Your personalities really balance each other out. I'd be thoroughly entertained just watching you two shop at walmart or home goods, or try to design a challenging space together!!
There’s a difference between not preferring a particular style and the style actually being poorly executed. Not being able to discern between the two is not a sign of good taste or sophistication. It’s just weird.
#3 - except if you have pets/kids/are prone to spilling. Risking ruining a a vintage rug with an unfortunate wee/runny poop/puke/spill is a lot more stressful than if you just have a fake vintage rug.
I just got my vintage Oriental rug back after having it cleaned. Will not be putting it back because I have pets who sometimes think the rug is just grass. My car Willie who had to be euthanized the day after Thanksgiving had made the carpet a total disaster. I just can’t afford to put out $600.00 a pop to keep it clean😢
What a great collab! I found Paige through you when you mentioned her as one of your favorite TH-camrs on an old video. I really like you both and it was great to see y’all together and hear y’all’s critique and banter. Making her say nice stuff was hilarious since that’s not her style (which is why I love her) and y’all had great chemistry
I love the way both work together. I don't know why, but I get a sense of familiarity when I watch these videos. It feels like hanging out with a sister, or a beloved friend. Thank you, Caroline and Paige!
Look at 2 of my favorite girls on TH-cam doing a video together. 😊. Such a full circle moment. Ladies I’m black Jamaican 31 yr old female and we couldn’t be further apart culturally but thanks to u guys I’ve learn that no Matter where ur from in this world. No matter wat language u speak, we really not that different from each other after all.
As the only 2 interior design TH-camrs I frequently watch, seeing this duo mash-up has sent me to new heights! Thank you both, lovely wonderful, smart women!
so fun to see these two together finally!! i reached the "complimenting" ugly spaces portion &.. why do i feel like paige and elizabeth would get along SO well haha
Seeing this turn up in my feed - amazing. The anticipation of how good this could be - truly exciting. The actual experience of the video - exceeded expectations, bravo ladies!
I’m so happy to hear you supporting a more eclectic “style”, as in not sticking strictly to a theme throughout the home. I moved into a log home 4 yrs ago & despite liking the Lodge Look, I didn’t want my space to appear as if it were a hotel. I’ve collected furnishings that work together but don’t scream ski chalet, & which make me happy. Will they ever work in another style building? Maybe not, but I love them here.
6:10 I actually really look forward to your vlogs! Totally understand that I may be in the minority, but I enjoy picking up some of the lessons you’ve been thinking about.
My absolute favorites are your vlogs! I’m married and 45, so I don’t need dating or career advice. 🤪But I watch them all because Caroline, you are a genius and so entertaining! Your family vlogs are the absolute best! Every family member is a precious gem! Love them to pieces. Have a fantastic day Caroline. ❤
Oh my god, thank you! First of all, for the collab we all knew we needed! Second, for freeing me from my desperate pursuit of trying to label my interior style. 😄
You two are ONLY designers I follow online. I love this collab. My home interior is garbage- you would tear it to pieces, but I feel like if I watch and learn now, someday I’ll have the ability to change it (maybe when all my kids move out), and I might be able to make good choices based on what I’ve learned.
I literally just gasped seeing these two faces pop up in the same video on my feed!! I’ve been waiting for this moment all year since I found you both! Who else follows these gals and have always thought they should be besties?? Meeeeee 🙋🏻♀️
The best dating advice/strategy I've heard was from one of Paige's videos, where she wrote her number on a piece of paper before going into an antique store, just in case there was a cute single guy in there. Genius.
From a psychological and sociological standpoint I wonder what the difference is between people who like boho and people who like mid century modern. I was surprised when you both mentioned your dislike of boho (one of my favorite styles) but then it made more sense when you both agrees on midcentury modern (my least favorite by far). Personally I opt for a transitional style in my home, but I do wonder what the differences in these two style preference personalities are.
I think there is A LOT overlap. MCM are hipster couples with good jobs/money. They live in gentrified neighborhoods and want to distinguish themselves from the masses. MCM lovers more likely to have an art background. There is a "cannon" within mid century... a ladder to climb to obtain the most cherished pieces. They dislike the elite but they are absolutely elitist bc there are like 10 major collectible pieces they shell out healthy 5 figure sums for. Lean progressive in politics... but not always. Embraced by couples bc the style is amenable to men. Rarely blonde... unless bleached, platinum and short.
Boho is a more heterogenous group bc its much more accessible and literal. Leans female. Somewhat of a every woman's shabby chic 2.O. More economically, and racially diverse. Boho interesting with a lot of non-white/Anglo design styles (i.e. African, Asian, some South American). Its embraced by renters and owners alike. Boho doesnt require the design credentials but it can be overdone and be cliche. Nice girls and invisible girls grown up and glown up. The Urban Outfitters turned Anthro girlies. Also the thrift store girlies. If Taylor Swift were a non celebrity regular person. Yet somehow if Issa Rae were too. Boho ppl like RomComs and banana bread. Generally embraced by those who arent on the cutting edge of trends since boho was deemed "over" by the gatekeepers
I don’t know how I missed this video until today, but I was blessed to witness how you compliment each other! I truly hope you and Paige are more involved in each other’s lives, at least keeping in touch because this energy was immaculate ❤️
I am so psyched for this collab !!! Have you both been quietly promising this forever because I feel like you have and this makes me so HAPPY!! It’s like my two favorite imaginary nieces came over for coffee to talk shit about stuff and I get to eavesdrop. ❤
Umm, I haven’t even finished the entire video but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and excited to see both of you collaborating together! Just made my day. 😊
Love Caroline's style. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life but one triumph was trusting my instincts on how to decorate based upon my own personal likes. I began collecting vintage pieces because i loved them, when everyone else was into new and being the same. Decades later, I still love my vintage pieces and basic color themes/patterns.
"If you're going to buy a fake vintage thing just buy the real thing" -- is filed right next to "if you're going to earn $65k a year just earn $650k a year" in the advice cabinet. Are handknotted-in-Istanbul rugs frequently posted on craigslist?!? There's a long history of faking stuff in interiors e.g. "trompe l'oeil" or even Delftware originated as knock-off Chinese porcelain. Pretentions *are* design. How do you use design to achieve an affect. How do you give your boring affordable space some romance and luxury...*because* it doesnt naturally have those things. It needs to be done....by design.
Naw, used vintage dressers are way cheaper than new ones. Especially comparing vintage/antique solid wood pieces to new solid wood pieces, the used ones are so much cheaper. Depending on the style they are sometimes even free.
I get what you're saying, but it's honestly cheaper to get vintage pieces of furniture than to buy new fake furniture. The price of fake wood dressers and beds are atrocious. I bought a handful of new pieces when I got my first apartment and quickly decided to stick with secondhand furniture that is made of real wood. WAY cheaper and better quality.
@tf7602 yep. I got my vanity table for free, and the wood and style are gorgeous on it. The woman said she had intended to paint it but never got around to it and just wanted the table and mirror gone.
Y'all, she specifically said "fake vintage Persian rug" and real room-sized Persian rugs are more expensive than any car my family has ever owned. There's several hundred dollar priced fake rugs and there are several ten thousand dollar real Persian rugs. They dont exist on the mid-scale. They're just overpriced fakes.
1) the round mirror is nice )but not above the bed-too small) 2) the bed/ headboard was elegant 3) the zebra rug could be nice in a different space 4) the wicker is classic and ONE piece at a time is a great nod to British Colonialism -- but IS there anything GOOD in that?? 5) the light fixture in that colorful yellow room is cool 6) the sweep of the staircase was beautiful! You could have had me on!😂❤
The tiger looked like it was frolicking on turf. I give them props for covering the furniture in big green leaves. It gave a nice little home to the tiger. 😂
Obviously there are a lot of folks who like this approach this video takes; I prefer critiques that explain the underlying design principals that are in play or that have been ignored. I don't find it very interesting to simply hear whether or not someone likes a space or objects but apparently a lot of folks enjoy that. And yes, I'm aware that in expressing this opinion I'm doing exactly what I'm criticizing.
I think that is the difference between a good designer and bad designer. Articulating the reason for aesthetic, functional and emotional unpleasentness of a design.
I just watched Paige's video, and now I get to watch this one... So happy to see y'all together. 😍 Critiquing homes is exactly the type of video I wanted to see from y'all. 😂
Can i just note: when you said you can buy a vintige piece for the same price of a particle board piece, thats only true in some parts of the world where those pieces were popular many years ago. It eastern europe the only vintige pieces sold are ones that are imported form the west, cuz the furniture from the past is heavy duty (but still) particle board soviet modular pieces, sooo yeah. Vintage pieces here are not as cheap as new cheap furniture.

Seeing this turn up in my feed - amazing. The anticipation of how good this could be - truly exciting. The actual experience of the video - exceeded expectations, bravo ladies!
I’m so happy to hear you supporting a more eclectic “style”, as in not sticking strictly to a theme throughout the home. I moved into a log home 4 yrs ago & despite liking the Lodge Look, I didn’t want my space to appear as if it were a hotel. I’ve collected furnishings that work together but don’t scream ski chalet, & which make me happy. Will they ever work in another style building? Maybe not, but I love them here.
The collab we ALL knew we needed 🔥💕
I am literally crying at seeing you two together. This is the BEST.
6:10 I actually really look forward to your vlogs! Totally understand that I may be in the minority, but I enjoy picking up some of the lessons you’ve been thinking about.
bless you haha they're my favorite to make!!
same! love ‘em
Me too the vlogs are my favorite!
Thank you for articulating Recipe Selection Dysphoria in your ad. I’ve had it my entire life.
I can’t explain how excited I am for this collab.
My absolute favorites are your vlogs! I’m married and 45, so I don’t need dating or career advice. 🤪But I watch them all because Caroline, you are a genius and so entertaining! Your family vlogs are the absolute best! Every family member is a precious gem! Love them to pieces. Have a fantastic day Caroline. ❤
Oh my god, thank you! First of all, for the collab we all knew we needed! Second, for freeing me from my desperate pursuit of trying to label my interior style. 😄
You two are ONLY designers I follow online. I love this collab. My home interior is garbage- you would tear it to pieces, but I feel like if I watch and learn now, someday I’ll have the ability to change it (maybe when all my kids move out), and I might be able to make good choices based on what I’ve learned.
I literally just gasped seeing these two faces pop up in the same video on my feed!! I’ve been waiting for this moment all year since I found you both! Who else follows these gals and have always thought they should be besties?? Meeeeee 🙋🏻♀️
The best dating advice/strategy I've heard was from one of Paige's videos, where she wrote her number on a piece of paper before going into an antique store, just in case there was a cute single guy in there. Genius.
Wait do you remember in which video was this?
That is so funny
From a psychological and sociological standpoint I wonder what the difference is between people who like boho and people who like mid century modern. I was surprised when you both mentioned your dislike of boho (one of my favorite styles) but then it made more sense when you both agrees on midcentury modern (my least favorite by far). Personally I opt for a transitional style in my home, but I do wonder what the differences in these two style preference personalities are.
I think there is A LOT overlap.
MCM are hipster couples with good jobs/money. They live in gentrified neighborhoods and want to distinguish themselves from the masses. MCM lovers more likely to have an art background. There is a "cannon" within mid century... a ladder to climb to obtain the most cherished pieces. They dislike the elite but they are absolutely elitist bc there are like 10 major collectible pieces they shell out healthy 5 figure sums for.
Lean progressive in politics... but not always.
Embraced by couples bc the style is amenable to men.
Rarely blonde... unless bleached, platinum and short.
Boho is a more heterogenous group bc its much more accessible and literal. Leans female. Somewhat of a every woman's shabby chic 2.O. More economically, and racially diverse. Boho interesting with a lot of non-white/Anglo design styles (i.e. African, Asian, some South American). Its embraced by renters and owners alike. Boho doesnt require the design credentials but it can be overdone and be cliche.
Nice girls and invisible girls grown up and glown up. The Urban Outfitters turned Anthro girlies. Also the thrift store girlies. If Taylor Swift were a non celebrity regular person. Yet somehow if Issa Rae were too. Boho ppl like RomComs and banana bread.
Generally embraced by those who arent on the cutting edge of trends since boho was deemed "over" by the gatekeepers
I don’t know how I missed this video until today, but I was blessed to witness how you compliment each other! I truly hope you and Paige are more involved in each other’s lives, at least keeping in touch because this energy was immaculate ❤️
I am so psyched for this collab !!! Have you both been quietly promising this forever because I feel like you have and this makes me so HAPPY!!
It’s like my two favorite imaginary nieces came over for coffee to talk shit about stuff and I get to eavesdrop. ❤
LIVING for my two favorite people on TH-cam being in the same room together.
Umm, I haven’t even finished the entire video but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and excited to see both of you collaborating together! Just made my day. 😊
Love Caroline's style. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life but one triumph was trusting my instincts on how to decorate based upon my own personal likes. I began collecting vintage pieces because i loved them, when everyone else was into new and being the same. Decades later, I still love my vintage pieces and basic color themes/patterns.
I was a fan of both of you and have waited for this collaboration forever! Brava to you both. 🎉
This is the collab I've been waiting for. I hope you two are besties now.
I can’t stop smiling. 2 minutes in. You both are so great!
i can’t believe people hate your vlogs!! i rewatch them ALL the time
My two faves… you both are sarcastic witty and so good at the ‘TUBE!!! Hope to see more!!!
*Fantasies Do Come True* . Thank you Ladies. Hope you Gals had a fantastic time together. 🥰
You guys are my top two favorite channels, so seeing you guys together is just the best !
Same!
Ngl I loved the yellow bedroom. Not sure I would like the lady finger bed, but I love the colours and the plants.
For styles, I’ve started referring to myself as an aficionado of the “unfinished” look. Goes doubly so for my diy projects.
absolutely obsessed with this colab 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love these two humans together so so much. Hope to see more of this in the future 🙏
"If you're going to buy a fake vintage thing just buy the real thing" -- is filed right next to "if you're going to earn $65k a year just earn $650k a year" in the advice cabinet. Are handknotted-in-Istanbul rugs frequently posted on craigslist?!? There's a long history of faking stuff in interiors e.g. "trompe l'oeil" or even Delftware originated as knock-off Chinese porcelain. Pretentions *are* design. How do you use design to achieve an affect. How do you give your boring affordable space some romance and luxury...*because* it doesnt naturally have those things. It needs to be done....by design.
THANK YOU! I was wondering if I was the only one who thought that was weird, I went 😎🤏 🤨🕶️🤏
Naw, used vintage dressers are way cheaper than new ones. Especially comparing vintage/antique solid wood pieces to new solid wood pieces, the used ones are so much cheaper. Depending on the style they are sometimes even free.
I get what you're saying, but it's honestly cheaper to get vintage pieces of furniture than to buy new fake furniture. The price of fake wood dressers and beds are atrocious. I bought a handful of new pieces when I got my first apartment and quickly decided to stick with secondhand furniture that is made of real wood. WAY cheaper and better quality.
@tf7602 yep. I got my vanity table for free, and the wood and style are gorgeous on it. The woman said she had intended to paint it but never got around to it and just wanted the table and mirror gone.
Y'all, she specifically said "fake vintage Persian rug" and real room-sized Persian rugs are more expensive than any car my family has ever owned. There's several hundred dollar priced fake rugs and there are several ten thousand dollar real Persian rugs. They dont exist on the mid-scale. They're just overpriced fakes.
Entertainment gold! Please do this again. The magic is real.
I've been a follower of both of you! This is soooo refreshing to see, hope we get to see more videos like this
1) the round mirror is nice )but not above the bed-too small) 2) the bed/ headboard was elegant 3) the zebra rug could be nice in a different space 4) the wicker is classic and ONE piece at a time is a great nod to British Colonialism -- but IS there anything GOOD in that?? 5) the light fixture in that colorful yellow room is cool 6) the sweep of the staircase was beautiful!
You could have had me on!😂❤
The tiger looked like it was frolicking on turf. I give them props for covering the furniture in big green leaves. It gave a nice little home to the tiger. 😂
Such a DELIGHT to watch you two hang out and chat!! Somehow ended up liking you both even more, which I wouldn’t have thought possible !
Obviously there are a lot of folks who like this approach this video takes; I prefer critiques that explain the underlying design principals that are in play or that have been ignored. I don't find it very interesting to simply hear whether or not someone likes a space or objects but apparently a lot of folks enjoy that. And yes, I'm aware that in expressing this opinion I'm doing exactly what I'm criticizing.
I think that is the difference between a good designer and bad designer. Articulating the reason for aesthetic, functional and emotional unpleasentness of a design.
This is the collab I've been dreaming of.
I just watched Paige's video, and now I get to watch this one... So happy to see y'all together. 😍 Critiquing homes is exactly the type of video I wanted to see from y'all. 😂
yayyyy the cross over episode we've been waiting for !!!
Have not watched this yet but I am THRILLED for this collab. Love you both!
THE COLLAB IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Can i just note: when you said you can buy a vintige piece for the same price of a particle board piece, thats only true in some parts of the world where those pieces were popular many years ago. It eastern europe the only vintige pieces sold are ones that are imported form the west, cuz the furniture from the past is heavy duty (but still) particle board soviet modular pieces, sooo yeah. Vintage pieces here are not as cheap as new cheap furniture.
Same here in north Carolina, US. Buying vintage which is in great shape can be extremely expensive and time consuming.
I haven’t even watched the video yet and my mouth just dropped from excitement! My two faves side by side
