As a writer I have learned some things from your videos. You have taught me to see the bigger pictures involving my characters. I print out things such as, pictures where they live, what those places look like, and I have to tell you...this has really gave my characters growth. So my point is, even though we are in two different careers...you are reaching us that use design in a different way!
I agree !!! Gives me new ideas for my life as well. Thanks !@Bailey Rae
I love this. I am also a writer and her video's have been very inspirational to me as well and they have given me some great idea.
Feel the same here!
You mentioned how difficult concept development can because it’s what sets the tone of the whole design. Is there any way you can make a video of how you go about creating concept boards? Your setup for the board and what the best way to execute something to a client would be? Maybe show us concept boards of previous projects and then show some images of the final project to see how you managed to show the client your direction with the concept board you started with in the beginning? We don’t get taught too much on concept boards at school.
I am not in the interior design field, but I enjoy watching your videos because the way you problem solve areas in your field is similar to what i do in the software development (software as a service) field. Enjoy learning more about your process.
Amazing. Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼❤️
Agreed. Great to watch as an employer /business owner but also as an employee so I can add more value to my company
Rising early is a must!! I started waking up at 5 am consistently about 2 years ago and it was a life changer. I had more energy and felt so much better, even though at times I was really tired. I stopped drinking coffee and managed to do design school full time last year without it. I know, it sounds crazy, but it can be done. Good luck Karin for 2019!!
Welcome back. Love your content. 75k subscribers now actually. Can't wait for you to hit 100k and counting .....
Thank you for speaking to my soul
Your content is truly inspiring!
Your work is amazing, Karin.
This is the year that I buy myself a home!
Yay!! 🏡❤️
@@KarinBohn pls reply on my comment toooooo !! You're such an inspiration to work hard and play hard!!
Seriously love your content! Some intentions I have set for myself for this year are like you, to get up early every morning and take time to myself whether that is reading/ working out / listening to a podcast or doing a devotional or journal writing. Just to spend that first part of my morning slow and with myself to get my mind right for my day. Another is to practicing being grateful and joyful each day and truly living for that day instead of getting caught up in the thoughts of future plans. And another intention is to be more conscious and intentional with my spending as well as I am trying to cross off the goal of home ownership this year! Sending love and light to you and your team all the way from Nashville, Tennessee!
Wow. Those are amazing intentions. Thank you so much for sharing with me, and for watching my content. It means so much to me.
Happy new year! 🙏🏼❤️😘
Your videos are so inspiring!💕

Hi Karin ! I’m 14 years old and later, I want to be an architect and you make me learn skill sets that will be useful to reach my goals. Thank you so much for being an inspiration. Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great seen you again Karin, best wishes for you on 2019!! and keep the awesome work!
Such amazing content.
Bonjour Mme BOHN I watch you in France and one Word BRAVO !!! for your work and the inspiration.
I love the day in the life videos! As an aspiring designer starting school, I love the full spectrum view you give! Your channel has truly confirmed my desire to go for it! Thank you! Ps: LOVE your three goals! So great! Xo
I'm glad you're back. I appreciate your truthfulness on rest. It is so true, as in today's world we can get burnt out without thinking about it. Rest is important, and I'm glad you came back rejuvenated.
Hi Karin, I enjoy watching your videos!
As always love your videos and I really enjoyed this one! Although I'm not in the Interior Design field, I am fascinated by your concept process with all the images seen in this video. My intentions for this year is to focus more on my own projects (my food blog, etsy shop and soon I'll create my own TH-cam channel) and cut down on my day job. Looking forward to many of your videos xx
Oh my God at the end when you said ‘let yourself rest, take a break, let go...’ i cried. I let too much workstress into my life. I was always good at saying ‘No’ and good at time management. But the last couple of months it All blurred. I find myself ‘recovering’ at home with My worklaptop on the couch with the tv on. And also scrolling through Pinterest and IG, That’s not recovering! And something i’ve never done! But somehow... And that sentence you said did it for me, i felt it. Thank you for your Words.
Welcome back. I try to detach as much as possible, even if it’s just an hour a day.
Welcome back! I found you over Christmas Break! I have binged watched you ever since!!
You are such an inspiration ❤️ I run my own small digital agency, too, and you inspired me so much since I found your TH-cam channel! Looking forward to more client meetings and Monday morning meetings, of course.
Love it ! I’d love to see a video on studio direction/project coordination/ and to see which software or standards you use to keep track of project timelines and project tasks. That’s the biggest challenge I have - being both in charge of project coordination and design (drawing baseplans/elevations/ Demo plans proposed plans etc) is taxing but it would be so much easier if I supplied myself with better team management tools
You are so right, i took a break, and i feel different now, i feel better. Just taking the time to be me, was so refreshing, and just what i needed. I love you video, they are so inspiring and lifte me up and also very motivated. these are some of mine new years resolution
♥️ I want to do more things that i enjoy
♥️ I want to take my self on more dates, spend more time with myself, at home and outside home, because im awesome, and i should appreciate that more.
♥️ I want to be grateful for everything that i eat.
♥️ I want to learn to appreciate the moments in life that are not perfekt.
♥️I want to be kinder to my self, in actions and words. My break taught me to listen to my self, and to take things slower.
You have at your disposal, the means to incorporate IT into your business.
Use the TH-cam equipment in your business.
How you ask: on follow up meetings with clients, send the camera crew to a follow-up meeting, taking live video feed of client concerns and a detailed property shot for reference and work data.
Meet initially with camera and client so a comfort level is established. Then explain how the camera crew will be your future contact with the projects and the contact individual.
Adapting to the use of FaceTime.
You are making the correct moves for sustainable development and growth.
Now it's time to be a leader in your field, using technology.
So nice to see you back. Congrats on the growth of your channel.
Thanks for being a part of the growth! 💋
My intensions this year to be connected an active every single day - mentally, emotionally and physical. I also want to grow my existing brands into three new countries this year.
5am challenge ..awsome
Hi Karin
Love your channel. I would really love to see more Commercial projects from Start to finish.
From design inception to the client interactions and then the site visits with all the materials, finishes and design matters being focused on.
And how various design challenges were resolved.
Best for 2019

Thank you for this video I feel less guilty for taking a break, it's just what I needed to go on my vacation with a positive minset :)
I love your content. I was curious to know if you would do a video on organization? I noticed that you have a lot of stuff in your office and I'm curious to know how you stay organized
I love that sweater 😍
Yes, where is that one from? So cute for winter.
My intentions this year are: make and drink kombucha on a daily basis, go to church every week and to start meditation every morning. Happy New Year!
Id also love to know if you do 1 overall concept for a residential home or if define it down to each room for example; bathrooms, kitchen,, living space and bedrooms?
Thanks again

then the rest will be history!!
❤️
Karin the video is superb...
This was fun interesting and exciting to watch! Thanks for sharing 🌸
Thanks so much for watching my content! 🙏🏼❤️
Hi, first of all I just wanna say that I appreciate and love love love all your videos especially the renovation series. I've been going back and forth through your channel to check if there's a new video coming out or not. Second of all, I feel like you SHOULD put more content because it is very very educating though I understand that good things takes time! ;)
Thank you so much for your comment. I’m so thrilled to hear that you’re loving my content.
Thank you so much for watching!! 🙏🏼❤️
Loovvee ittt 😍😍😍
Dear Karin!
You are SOOOOOO AMAZING!! I ENJOOOOOY watching your videoes, I get so much inspired and motivated! Happy New Year! I wish you an amazing year, full of joy happiness and of course success!! 💕 please keep making amazing videoes! Can you please make a video where you focus on moodboard? I want to know more about how you get inspired of pinterst, etc. I'm an interior design student and I have to make a project with sketchup, so I wanted to make a good job, to make myself proud of me! ☺️ can you please tell what you, use the different programs to? For example when do you use AutoCAD and when do you use sketchup, and etc..?
Looks like you made a wonderful choice taking that R&R; regrouping & starting back w/a new mindset;5am is early😄but amazing! The girls didn’t seem quite as enthusiastic😆maybe do a wknd retreat with them sometime!? Did you literally have no contact w/the ofc that whole time? Or how did you manage that to keep it from spilling over/stress free? Also, I’d
love an explanation of how all those photos printed out represent a direction/concept to the client. Esp when they aren’t images of specific design ideas but words, colors, guy on a bike, etc.
Can’t wait to see another room in your house!
Wow great video 👌🏽👌🏽
I love your videos!! So inspiring
Thank you so much for watching! Glad to hear that you’re feeling inspired. 🙏🏼❤️
I love your videos. They’re so real and inspiring and have a much different tone then most entrepreneurship videos on TH-cam. I definitely connect with the taking rest time. I’m December I started my own business while working at my current job which, although is part time is still demanding and some work has to be done outside of work hours. On top of that I had to pull some extra weight as my dad was out of commission over the holidays due to health issues. I felt like I was juggling a lot but I was determined to build my business up so that I could either quit my part time job or scale back my hours. All my hard work paid off and I will be working less hours at my part time job so I can have more time to devote to my clients and to building my business. It was a real ambitious task doing that in only a matter of a month but I was so determined. Fast forward to January and I was completely exhausted and burnt out. Since the projects I’ve been booked for my business don’t official start until February I’ve taken some time to get my sleep schedule back in order and practice some much needed self care after hustling so hard over such an intense period of time.
Davika Hill That’s amazing..rest up & keep going!💞
0900am in Yyz ...earlier in yvr!!! This is an early video ... but 👏thanks 🤗
Hi Karin. Really love you vlog!you always being positive attitude toward everything, do u sometimes feel anxiety and depression?and how do u deal with it?
I think Canada is one of the most beautiful country on Earth. Not only the nature but also the built environment. :)
Hey Karin, was just waiting for ur notification :)
I've posted some real juicy questions on your wall, hopefully you answer them in the next QnA
Glad you are back.....my 2019 will hopefully be better for design my business. Do you guys bid on your design projects or do you just get refferals?....I'd love to hear more about bidding if it's something that you do... Thanks for sharing your design process.
I love you ☺️
Thank you for all your content Karin, amazing inspiration! What are your best books on business and personal development? I also read the 5amclub in the begining of the year, a great book, with some good tools and refletions. Best regards from Portugal :)
Hi Karen! Thank you very for sharing your 10 year - expertise with us. I am completely inspired by your work and although I have a totally different background (I am an argentine economist living in Spain), I find myself very much interested in studying Interior Design. Which will be, in your opinion, a serious on line canadian Interior Design course to take, that is worth the money? Wish you a great personal and professional 2019!!
You're so amazing Karin! Keep up the great work! Also, your videographer is goals! I need one.
You’re very sweet. Thank you! 🙏🏼❤️
Getting up early is such a great intention I have have also read this in books but am too scared to implement it. 5am! Ekkkkkk so early!
What do you do with your time between 5am and your work start?
Would love to see a video on the business books you have read or are reading!
Thanks again from Australia!
Hey, love your videos!!! Bona fide is also the bomb!
Sorry to ask, but where is your jumper from?
Thanks!
Love 2019 "intentions" was never a fan of resolutions lol but intentions are real 💕
Karin, can you talk about how to formulate a work meeting, please. Thank you!
Rise early..trying too 🤣🙈
A little late watching because I have been consciously making an effort to take a break amazing content as usual
That’s great... taking a break is so important!! ❤️
Yeah ... agree wholeheartedly. !!!
Was happy to hear you got a 3 week holiday away from work + love your intention for 2019 to take more breaks. You obviously are so passionate about your work that it sometimes might be hard to tear yourself away from it + breathe. But it seems you've got a good (as well as very beautiful) head on your shoulders + have already embraced the need for taking 'real breaks' Am proud of you,. Love you,@@KarinBohn
Where do you get your design pictures from for your concept board? Is it mainly Pinterest? Love your videos 💓
5:00 AM club from Robin Sharma? ❤️❤️😍 Love him !!
Hi Ms. Karin love you channel! Just wondering that's the brand of you luggage bag thag you used to care around.
Can you tell us how do you execute your planned projects? Do you higher your own construction crew? Do you hire you’re own people for installations of furniture? How do you go about your project from start to finish? Thanks!
I am wondering do who does installations of your paintings on walls? Assembling furniture? Do you have people working for you on hourly wage or do you hire a different crew each time? Love your videos. Very very helpful to us aspiring designers!
Hi Karin! What kind of 3d software do you recommend to create grate places? I know something about cad, but that is not really affordable. Thanks. Love from Hungary :)
How many of your ideas are organic/unique and how many come from inspiration? e.g. Pinterest, nature, pre-existing designs, etc.
I couldn't help but noticed that most of your staff's mouse pads are positioned upside down because the bumpy part should be put down for wrist rest place. haha..you can tell after being your subs since day one, i learnt to look out for every details! LOL
Lol. You’re very observant!! ❤️

How do you get your employees to have the courage and confidence to disagree with you? Watching you three go over the design inspos let a small light into the seniority difference within your company. You can tell which employee had been there longer by the way they spoke up.
What type of planners do you and your staff utilize?
orange theory?
Hello Karin !! I want to start my own interior design buisness do you have some advice for me ? You are so inspiring !
Where is your sweater from ??
In what program you do a floor plan?
Take a break from pinterest? But how will I get to sleep? 😂
I am about to take bachelor of design majoring in inteior design and just looking at things that I need during and after school. I thought of buying an Ipad Pro, do you think it will help me?
iammimilove29 Great question! Would love to know what might really be necessity for student.
I have noticed a trend among working women, also backed up by university studies. After 35 our energy and ability levels start to decline. Look around, you don’t see the same number of women working in the age groups of 18-35 Vs. 40-55. Women are nurturers not stress managers. We can only take so much. I know lawyers, high executive business women, the corporate world, who get out of the high stress “golden handcuffs” at 40. Getting into it and achieving spectacular goals is not fun anymore. So we are bouncing. Another reason to marry wisely. Don’t entertain “menchild” who need a forever roommate.
Wait how did Kelsey become Sr. designer before Kay? Wasn't Kelsey a project coordinator in May of last year? Not hating but curious really...
What if you said, "yes" to a project you were not keen on and something amazing happened because of it? Has that ever happened to you?
:)
❤️❤️❤️
I need bonafide 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Draw my life!!?
Pretty sure that Kelsey is my future wife....
Not a single project worthwhile shown yet. Only talk and no show.
