The Lazy Girl Makeover needs to be a series. I got a lot of rooms that need sprucing up and I'm feeling pretty low energy after working all week.
Yesssss
Yessssss 🙌
Ohhhh damn. Yep, ok I agree ❤ it’s officially a series
@@Caroline_Winkler 😁👍♥️🤗
Brilliant idea!!🎉
finally a youtuber that actually thinks about practical and realistic makeovers and doesnt jsut paint everything white. Thank you
Practical? :D
C: I want to free up counterspace"
- YES girl, counterspace is important for cooking
C: _proceeds to fill freed counterspace with cute decor_
- ... okay ^^'
@@braria9855 she says she doesn't really cook, so it makes sense
😊Do love a white🤍 bright kitchen, but painting cabinetry takes serious know-how & skill. Even w/ permission, I personally wouldn't attempt it on a rental.
🎉Three Cheers 🎉for how Lazy Girl leaned into her fixed features. While a dark kitchen has not been my dream, she beautifully transfomed it w/an artsy elegant MOODY BOHEMIAN FLAIR. A petite ⚜️French Country jewel 💎 box circa 🖌Pierre-Auguste Renior🎨 late 1880s. Brava! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Also why did you have to paint the backsplash if you were going to paper over it??
@@mrstn123 I think it's because if the "tile" doesn't line up properly you'd have the white paint peeking through. Painting it a similar color as the tile itself is a lot more forgiving
The commitment to having the coffee on top of the fridge with you is the energy I need in my life.
I know, right!?
Agree! I know I'm living my best life when I look out for my future self like that!
Yeah, she brought the coffee up before the paint. Got her priorities straight.
❤ Love that you shopped her home & didn't over do things. There's nothing worse than a mini makeover where the occupants cannot locate their treasures. Well done ❤❤❤
My favorite thing about your videos is that you don't just show us what you did, but you explain your thought processes and problem solving methods. I actually feel like I'm learning instead of just watching someone make their space cuter and then have no ideas how to translate that to my own space.
YES. The thought process of WHY she came to such a conclusion is what really helps.
Yes. She's brilliant.
Ugh this makes me so happy, this is always my goal!! I think one of the things that’s most fun to me is not just figuring out “the solution” but translating it into some kind of math that can be replicated. I’m so glad this feels effective, thanks for your comment❤️❤️
Yes!! The thought process is usually a mystery that DIYers don’t explain, and I feel that I lack. There’s so much more trial and error when you don’t know why something‘a gonna work or not.
I never thought someone could make builder grade cherry cabinets look like the Feature. The wall color and backsplash is poppin 👌
Dah this melts my heart
Right? If I ever get a place that happens to have cherry cabinets, I might just do this decor as well.
I have an aversion to dark spaces and decor and yet this kitchen is probably the most beautiful and welcoming I have ever seen. That's insane
Professional housepainter here (it’s my dayjob)- taping is only truly necessary in tight spaces, or to prevent spray from the roller from landing on your floor and baseboard (those white little specks you’ll often find in old homes and rentals). There are a couple more special instances in which you’ll use tape, but for the most part you’ll get a much better line if you cut it in by hand.
Unless you have a super unsteady hand, in which case, hire a professional. :) (sorry, self plug)
Girl, there's nothing lazy about this! You really put in some work! It turned out beautifully !
Even painted where she put up the backsplash!
@@idid138 , EXACTLY!!!😂
Oh but I do love this and I do love you. You're the first TH-camr I've seen who's crawled up on the fridge, bum in the air, to publicly paint a tricky corner. Watching your channel gains tens of thousands more subscribers every week is almost as satisfying as watching your makeovers. And so well deserved too. You go, girl. I'm off to scout out your vinyl link and perhaps I'll finally commit to a backsplash of my own. Thanks for bringing your colourful, complicated, chaotic self to TH-cam. We're all the better for it.
Ahh I’m so glad you liked it Lisa! This is such a darn sweet message and so lovely to read. Sometimes I get caught up in the hamster wheel of filming and forget to step back and appreciate all the positive change youtube has brought to me. This comment captured so much of that. Appreciate you ❤big hug
@@Caroline_Winkler you just made my day acknowledging my message. Yup, you have 283 000 subscribers in your corner cheering you on, and I'm willing to bet you'll have 300 000 shortly. Who gets to add thousands of people to their friends list every day? Yes, it may be virtual friendships, but if you ever get to Tel Aviv I'd be glad to show you around. And I'll bet everyone else who follows you would say the same. Forget sailors who have a woman in every port....your fan club extends way beyond that. I'm so glad you so willing share your imperfect self with us so generously....clumsily cut bangs and all.
So well said, I agree 👍
My thoughts exactly
I bloody well love this gal 👧 . She is like a breath of fresh air and so darn natural. Love , love, love what she did in that tiny kitchen ❤
Caroline, I’m a retired interior designer who delights in your channel! Your personality, quirkiness and beautiful way of expressing yourself verbally actually comes BEFORE the cool transformations you make to your place. I love that you lessen the fear and mystery for others who want to create their cozy space.
You rock the bared midriff tops - I’m secretly envious, as this look is not possible at my age! Deeper jewel tones set off dark wood so well. I think your best gift is how you finish the room with your accessories and arrangements. All the best, Caroline!
Wow. I used to dream of being an interior designer. How was your experience?
@@softtrain-1550 Earlier in life I struggled in school with un-recognized ADHD. This was not a “thing” in the sixties. I studied Interior Design through a college when my youngest was 2, and I was 35. I did 2-3 courses per term so I could handle the load and get good marks. I knew my abilities well enough that I never took on large, whole home projects. Too much pressure for a person with ADHD. I simply consulted on a hourly basis to recommend colours, furniture, layout, lighting, accessible design, etc. There’s a huge range in design, so determine your areas of interest and know your strengths/gifts. All the best!
‘I don’t crave the manual labor at this point in my life.’ Girl preach
I like the idea of leaning into what you have. Many people can't afford full makeovers for whatever reason.
I feel kinda bad for phrasing it this way, but you truly seem just so much more INTELLIGENT than other home decor creators on TH-cam? I love how you muse over your design decisions and create almost a philosophy/mythology around how you approach these spaces. It’s such a pleasure to watch.
I agree so much with this
Agreed!
So much in agreement with this!
Agreed! I think it's because she's a professional designer too.
Mythology? What?
You’re a realist and I vibe so hard with that. Idealism is ignorant, pessimism is annoying. Realism is where it’s at.
That's an excellent quote!
Very well said.
same omg
I've been watching a lot of interior design/makeover videos for the last few years and I am now mad at TH-cam's algorithm for not showing me your content before. It is fresh, more relatable than many of the other content creators in this space. Love how you explain things, your thought process, the final results, your vibe and your sense of humour. Also love that the makeovers feel real, not like an instagram photo op.
I binged watched a lot of your content lately so this "break" is going to be good for both of us, I am sure :). Take care, hope everything... everything... is going perfect.
Exactly, my feelings!
Love how practical your process is! Not spackling because peel and stick backsplash and a paint scraper for corners instead of painter’s tape is genius. More Lazy Girl Makeovers please!
This transformation is literally insane, like I can’t handle it. I’d love a moody kitchen but I had to commit to either light or dark when I renoed my kitchen and I went with white for resale reasons, but dude… this moody vintage eclectic kitchen vibe is spectacular.
My kitchen is sweating nervously seeing me watching this video. Glow up pending I think. 💅🏻
Bahahaha
Caroline, I think you are a makeover genius. The fact that you can do it on a micro-budget seems impossible. But you do it anyway. It's such an inspiration to see you work.
That dry sink is an amazing pick up! At first I thought it was a changing table but marble would be a bit cold for a baby!
That moment where you had to scale the fridge to paint the corner -- but still managed to bring your coffee with you -- made me laugh so hard! I love the sweet realism you bring to your channel.
Leave no coffee behind! 😂
Hope your knee is much better now than before.. God bless you 🙌.. Keep up the great work. We all love your thoughts and your work ❤
I’m a HUGE advocate of not waiting for the dream house to make a beautiful home of the space you live in now, and I appreciate immensely your encouragement here! The kitchen looks so lovely ❤
“I’m not saying it’s the right thing to do, but I’m saying it’s what I’m gonna do.” You speak my language, sister.
I love everything about this video: the transformation is spectacular, your message is what interior decorating is all about, your honesty and sincerity are refreshing and heart warming. This video, which is so much more than a kitchen makeover, is being saved for future reference. LOVE!
I seriously love the way you approach design - taking the pressure of perfection out of the process is so freeing and leaves loads of room for creativity! Love your videos!
I’m so glad!! We’re all gonna die 🤷♀️❤️
I approve of this comment! 👏
You said it perfectly
My mom was a designer for many years, and she NEVER used tape to paint - she used the same technique you do - so when I grew up and saw people using tape, I was shocked. Reverse shock. So I fully endorse your no-tape technique. Your room turned out beautiful! Thanks for sharing the process!
Agree, no tape here
Yes skilled professionals and experienced people that do know what they are doing, don't use tape.
And it becomes landfill garbage.
I am taking this validation with me to the grave bless u 🙌❤️
Same here! I’ve watched my mom paint countless times over the years. Then when I bought my first house, she helped me paint the entire thing. She free hands it, and I’ve truly never seen a better paint job than hers.
A really cool way to bring some light in (while still keeping it moody) would be to add Kasa smart LED light strips on top of the cabinets so the light bounces off the wall and upward. Would also draw attention to height of ceiling and would make the light indirect. You can also set the color to anything you want and you can schedule routines so it can change to a certain brightness or color on a specific schedule. Love what you did!!
I would like to add that lighting under your cabinets would give long way. Even puck lights would work and not expensive ❤
I would love it so much if you could give us color ideas that could make classic honey oak cabinets look "intentional". That would be so wonderful! I bet many people still have those honey oak cabinets.
I'm not Caroline, but have you considered warm greenish gray? I think it would tone down the cabinets and give intentional warmth and brightness, almost like a provence style home. What do you think?
@@margaritap.9459 Thank you! I will definitely look up that color.
@@margaritap.9459 I had also thought of going with white, to try and achieve that classic IKEA combination of pine and white. I was hoping that could help update the general look of the kitchen. Not sure...
@@carriek7993 ok, I see your vision, and I think it could also work well! I think I saw this combination with white countertops and it looked amazing. And just because you mentioned IKEA - I do think they are a great inspiration to look into styles and color combinations that otherwise we maybe wouldn't even think about😁
@@margaritap.9459 Thanks! Nice talking to you :)
I loved the way you approached this. You treated that little kitchen like a person with feelings: gave it a nice hair cut, helped it pick out some clothes that accentuated its best features and allowed it to shine. I only appreciated the depth of the blue on the walls when you brought in the oil paintings and more wooden accents. You have a great eye! Bravo.
I loved that blue as soon as you started painting. This is my kind of makeover. Minimal skills to none required and working with what you already have. Too many people just destroy old sturdy stuff instead of trying to work with it. Your kitchen looks so pretty.
Yes older cabinets are way better than newer stuff. If they are in great shape, they are worth keeping.
Appreciate this so much ❤
Your kitchen looks great. Good job! 😊
I NEVER tape when I paint, and I have painted a lot. With practice it is a crutch and I simply ROCK IT with out all the time, cost and hassle of trying to tape first. Soooo, YOU GO GIRL!
This is like the 4th video of you I've watched and I'm in fkn love with your energy and bluntness! Woman, you're awesome! And I loved sooooooo much how real this was. Some days you can go all perfectionist and do all the "must do things" but others you just want a quick make over that would makes un happy and satisfied! This was so great. Thank you!
THANK YOU. I still live with my parents, in my parents house, which is totally common in Indonesia, and spending 20+ years sleeping in my childhood bedroom is nearly driving me insane. The thing is, most of the furnitures in my bedroom are incredibly heavy (mostly dark colored teak wood, wardrobe, bedframe, and bookcase are huge they will need like 6 people to move them) and I have white tiles as flooring. The peak is when I got sick of binge-watching youtubers doing room makeovers with beautiful light wood flooring, sleek all new aesthetic furnitures and so I was like "I ain't replacing my old furnitures that's just not make sense & unrealistic". So I ended up leaning towards sprucing up the decorations to 'match' the teak bedframe & wardrobe, replacing my magenta curtain (yes you read it right) with green one, making the best gallery wall I've ever made and I kinda fall in love with my bedroom again now. What you said "working with immovable objects" is very relatable to me so again THANK YOU Caroline for making this realistic video and made me realise that I am embracing what I have & I feel proud of it.
i feel youu! caroline's simple and fun approach to design is what really gets me. just try and fail, rather than overthinking it and be discouraged. you could probably use vinyl wood sticker on the white tiles, they come in textured and very realistic these days. it's giving such huge difference to my bedroom. i could give you the shopee link if you want.
@@reinour3932 yes I've been contemplating about using them, thanks for the advice!
I love your bangs. Now I want bangs. Haven't had them since I was like 8. Maybe I can talk my twin sister into getting bangs first.
@@reinour3932 please share a shop link! That sounds great.
Caroline: A lazy DIY, I will not be doing manual labor
Also Caroline: Climbs on top of her fridge so she can paint the walls.
And also brings her coffee up with her hah😅
@@thelordismylife2001was just gonna say that! Totally something I would do, made me laugh.
After building a house, renovating another and then 2 appartments I am now a die hard fan of quick style updates and glue!
For an espresso brown cabinet color and dark brown speckled granite, what colors would you lean into (like how you used blue) to compliment the space? Would love a vid on how you choose colors! :)
Thank you for serving content that's immediately relevant as I've been trying to update my violently early 2000's kitchen
Violently 2000s bahahah
Violently 😹✌🏿
Violently, bwahahaha.
2000s home decor is coming back! Look up some of the ways people are using oak cabinets these days. They scale the whole aesthetic back a little, but wood cabinets are very much back.
This is why I love your decorating content. You cannot spend $1000 on every room when you live in a rental. $500 is workable for a really nice space that your landlord isn’t going to hate. And then…when you own your own house, the budget actually gets more important because you have to FIX major problems on the house!
Thank you for teaching us how to update our spaces in a way that is actually affordable and makes sense! Also, I love every video you make... no matter what its about.
This is the first kitchen makeover that is on a kitchen roughly my size of kitchen, not spending thousands, not knocking out walls - and it’s brilliant! Attainable and brilliant! Love this so much.
Caroline, you're a magician! How you just made cherry cabinets look intentional and desirable amazes me. And that dry sink? Holy shit that's cute and perfect and moody and cozy. You knocked this one out of the park.
The kitchen went from meh… to HOLY SMOKES I WANNA LIVE IN THAT KITCHEN. It’s so beautiful!! Your style has become a huge inspiration for me! 😊
I would have chosen a deep blue too and you were very wise to choose a cool tone, to contrast against the warm cherry cabinets. Interestingly, I recently chose a similar blue for the corrugated iron sheet cladding on the exterior of my house. The warm tones of the existing stone work really needed it. And I am not a fan of blue either! But, oh my goodness, it looks fantastic!!! I am so glad that you kept to a rich palette. Well done!
Fabulous!!! So warm and cozy!! Great job!
That before-and-after is SWEET! Especially the coffee cart corner. Loving the juxtaposition of the classical portrait and the pan!
Omg I think the pan is my favorite part of the whole room. Very titillating to me
I can't get enough of your storytelling, your editing, YOU! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dangit! 🥹❤️😍
Love it!! Great job
I cannot believe how beautiful those cabinets are now. I thought I would never like the kitchen. BUT I DO!!
Girl, your candor is everything "I don't care to work hard at this" and this kitchen is GORGEOUSNESS. I especially love how you moved Franco (the quizzical looking dude in the hat has always been Franco to me) from the living room to the coffee bar. But my FAVORITE thing is that when I saw this video's title in my sidebar (LAZY is my default), first thing I thought was "Oh yeah, makeovers, it's Saturday, gotta check for Caroline soon as a I finish this", and lo and behold, it's you! Thanks, girl. Get your rest.
Caroline I love when you voice your internal dialogue externally 😂it gives me life! “I don’t want to gain muscles from this”!!! Priceless and so dang relatable 🙌🏾
I genuinely admire and respect you. Your ethos is so well articulated.
You speak my language and I feel validated by the way you have made it clear perfect doesn’t exist and leaning into what you’ve got is the epitome of grace, in life and decor.
Thank you Caroline
Love it!!
Sis, when you climbed on top of the refrigerator I almost spit out my bagel. lol Great video! Can we make LAZY GIRL makeovers a series?! Asking for a friend...
"Shant be" is now in my vocabulary to use as a Lazy Girl Makeover LOVER! Also....
Living dangerously on the edge with NO TAPING before painting!!
I'm here for ALL of it!! 💜
Can’t wait to hear daresn’t, which apparently sounds like daysnt. Big fan of whilst.
So glad you didn't paint your cabnites...all those who are painting will regret it when wood comes back..plus classic is never bad
Love this !!
"I don't know what my point is but I'm still talking." Can relate so much. Happens to me all the time. Love this DIY channel. Caroline, you are so entertaining, and your design tips are great and achievable for all of us just normal folks, who are also lazy and cheap.
Definitely inspired. I like the message “don’t wait for your forever home” and I like that you worked around what was already in the space. and it turned out so good! Organizing and hiding the trash can made the space look a lot more elevated. The art looks great with the new color.
Also, how do you not get paint on your famous white sweats? Haha. ❤
I love it! So inspiring!
I love it! Nice job!
You can probably reverse the hinge on your fridge to the opposite side so that the door opens to the left. It would be more convenient to use that way. Incredible make-over.
Yes! I’ve done this a few times and it works out perfectly. Also front loading dryer/washers can also be switched 😊
Yes, and it makes for a much more efficient kitchen.
But when you do that, switching the hinges, be sure you redo the seal. They did that to my new freezer and the freezer started growing ice inside. I called them to come look at it and they had to get out there hot tool that looks like a handheld dryer and redo the seal and then the freezer stopped making ice it was a very easy fix. The air was getting in around the seal where they changed the hinges
Thank you for explaining why you chose to use a pattern because of all the solids around the kitchen. I am not a pattern person but I really see the value and am going to start adding more patterns into my decor. Thanks for teaching me that! I love how casual (and honest) you are about DIY projects - just do what you can to make it better now and not wait for it to be your fantasy makeover. Such good advice!! ♥
Wow, this looked so entertaining and inspiring. I never thought you can turn kitchen into an art galery/museum. And I like all of the tips mentioned here.
Love it!
I can sooo relate to doing something and then immediately disliking it. There is definitely something to be said about living with design decisions for a period of time and really sitting with whether or not it’s right before changing anything.. you did such a great job on this reno!! Cute as usual ❤
When I decided to have my 1930s vintage couch and chair re-upholstered the shop told me to take the swatches home and lay them along the back of the couch for a few days. The idea was to see them in different kinds of light as well as note how I felt about seeing them every day. Although I took several swatches there were two strong contenders.
The advice was very wise: the one I thought was The One was almost invisible in artificial light and after a few days I wasn't quite so thrilled with it. I chose the other contender, and 17 years later I still love how it looks.
So so true
I'm getting ready to move and as a renter I do the bare minimum because I figure I might have to move again within 5 years, but I just spent 7years in a rental that I hate and never personalized. The next place I move into I will personalize, because you're right about not wasting time. I want to feel great in my space, not like I'm at the bus stop waiting for a better place to invest my money and creativity on. I love how the kitchen turned out. Great color scheme to go with the cherry wood.
Looks great! Good job!
Caroline!!! I NEEDED this lazy kitchen video so much! My house has a dark kitchen, I can’t afford a big upgrade, nor do I know how to use power tools. This is JUST the inspiration (and product links) I needed. And who knew there were magnetic spice racks for the Fridge!! Or lamps are ok in the kitchen to help with mood/ task lighting!!! Thank you!
Ahh I love to hear this!! Yeah the lamp light is major for me bc the overheads are quite unpleasant and I have to turn them on most hours of the day bc it’s so dim. The lamp has made it way…vibey-er??
Not everyone's vibe but I have a salt lamp in my kitchen, amazing for mood lighting, I have it on all day.
idk why I feel like cherry furniture is gonna have a moment again soon. It seems like everything keeps coming back around, and now that more moody interiors are in style cherry looks pretty good with it if I must say. lol
With everything made of plywood and people continuously searching something that feels more adult and timeless, I think brave people will look to cherry wood as a way to achieve that feeling.
Yea I’ve been feeling crazy but i kind of want cherry wood cabinets with a dark moody kitchen 🤩i think if you decorate around them right they really are gorgeous
fr, i think everything in interior design has been white and plastic for too long so people are probably gonna turn to colours and wood again
Love it!!! and I DO feel inspired!!!
Damn Girl that’s magazine worthy!!!!
Why is it that I can’t watch you (99% of the times) without busting out in happy laughter??? 🤔
Your so flipping good!!!
Thanks for inspiring me to get up and start kicking my own butt into decorating!!!!
Love you so much from NC
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This kitchen makeover is honestly a metaphor for life. A life well lived :).
Loved!! ❣
I love the kitchen color!
I love what you did. For $500, you need to do more of these series!
Watching your videos is like chatting with a close friend: real, raw, and hilariously honest. I appreciate how you can be like this in such a public space, it's truly an inspiration. Always look forward to all your videos, designs, and life updates! Hope all is well ☺️
Stunning 🤩
greAT job girl! i love it
Girl! Let me tell you. Your honesty just gives me life. As a designer there are so many times you just have to go with the educated decision and hope for the best. And I love that you repurposed and owned the ‘lazy’ phase you’re in. Classic!
this outfit is very blues clues stevecore
Wow. I can’t unsee myself.
Exactly what I was thinking 🤣
I love how the kitchen makeover turned out and I'm a retired landlord! Rechargeable under cabinet LED lights would be great to brighten up the space. I always think it's a mistake in a home with tall ceilings, not to install at least 42" high upper cabinets. The 30" height is too short and that extra foot provides a lot of storage, especially when there are so few upper cabinets.
Absolutely amazing ! ❤❤❤
Easily my FAVORITE channel right now.
Real. Relatable. Entertaining.
I look forward to Saturdays so so much!
The kitchen looks great!
I love your makeovers because when I see the individual colors and patterns you pick out, I always feel like ehhh I don't like that but then you always make them look SO GOOD ALL TOGETHER. I love it!! I wish I could do that!
Listen I too am surprised 😂
@@Caroline_Winkler hahaha
Loved it ❤
Absolutely adorable!
Switch your refrigerator hinges to open the door toward the cabinets. It makes it easier to put groceries away and pull out ingredients for cooking.
I was thinking the same.
Absolutely love the paint color. It really makes not only the cabinets pop, but also looks so nice with all your beautiful art. I love the way your home feels like a gallery in every room. I feel like I would spend so much time just staring at everything on the walls. Such an inspiration!
This is amazing!
I woke up this morning thinking “Yay! It’s Saturday - a new Caroline video!” And the kitchen makeover was just what I needed. I’m itching to upgrade my kitchen but can’t afford much. Thank you for encouraging me to make little changes where I can. I’m bummed you might be taking a pause, but you deserve a break, so go for it. I hope you miss us/this so much you can’t stay dark for long.
That makeover turned out amazing. Are you feeling the mood when you walk in the room? Your landlord is so lucky to have you.
I love the little stool with the flower! Really cute!
Yes! This is probably the most relatable, beautiful, and insightful kitchen refresh I have ever watched on TH-cam (might even be on TV, also). I love it! Thank you so much for creating ❤
“Everyone dreams above their means” -Caroline W.
I have a 110 year old home with cherry trim in every room that I refuse to paint white, so I was basically forced to paint our dining room a moody teal blue/green. Artwork and lots of plants helped. The only difference is it took me about 6 months to decide on the color and even now I’m not sure about it lol. I still need to paint our hallway so maybe I’ll try the paint you used in your kitchen. It looks great! ❤
This was so fun to be along on the ride for! Great job minimizing the things you didn’t love by creating a *new relationship* between that and the room with the color/backsplash/accessories! It is so pretty and vibrant and fits your vibe while being different. Also, that dry sink marketplace find - omg 😲 Makes me wanna live in the NE for a while so I can score some great pieces like that! Cheers, Caroline!
P.S. I now eat frozen dates also 👏🏼😄
Looks stunning and loved
beautiful !!
I NEVER tape either. I did it once. It took forever to do it and THE PAINT LEAKED UNDER IT. It takes little time to go out and get a decent brush (not even a great one) that will give you a sharp line. Saves HOURS.
You did a great job! So happy your landlord approved!
He’s actually the nicest landlord I’ve ever had… and I’ve had tons. Always appreciate a good situation!
Perfection and entertainment! You're awesome Caroline!
Amazing makeover!
