youtube does need more picture frame hauls

There is a risk in putting up two lighthouse pictures. When people visit you, they will think “Oh, she likes lighthouses. I know what to get her for a gift.” Then, over the next decade on your birthday and on Christmas, you will receive gifts of more lighthouse paintings, lighthouse models, lighthouse lampshades. This happened to a lady I know in Florida, now known as “The Lighthouse Lady”.

"let's go to the first frame- this is gonna be controversial" That's the content I came here for😂♥️

I love seeing someone passionate about art just because they liked it, rather than having to justify it with pretentious words. Also double lighthouse for the win

‘I shouldn’t admit this but I don’t sleep anymore and I do a lot of online shopping...’ me too girl, me too.

As a librarian and an art teacher, I will say this: this is the haul I’ve been looking for all my life 💜

Do the Lighthouse paintings side by side. As you made the journey from West to East Coast! Milestone achieved!!!

“Is it a Sin to put a Monet in a frame like this?”No. Monet would appreciate your thrift.

Ariel- I can save you more dollars. Those Etsy peeps selling old people prints just get the HQ images off the public domain for free... so all you need to do is search the public domains (easy as googling Monet public domain) and download the print then have it printed yourself any size you want for a fraction of the price. 💜 beautiful choices.

Ariel, I am here for the niche content

remember this video next year when Ariel has an entire wall of lighthouse paintings

Wow. As a former Custom Framer, current avid reader and pretentious late-night online shopper, this video feels like it was made exclusively for me. Thank you.

The way that you feel about reading A.S. King is how I feel about watching your videos.

Until this day I never realized how badly I needed an art haul video

It's not niche. It's your target audience and we are here for it. I am also all for have doubles of art. It's a running theme with the art I own. I have 2 of einstein sticking out his tongue. And two photos of me and hank green. Cause my mom thought she framed one of me and hank and one of me and John. Instead I have 2 hanks

I was also way too excited about the two lighthouses being the same size and mirroring each other

I feel like you should totally keep that light house print.

Your house is going to look so good when you’re all done decorating. I can hardly wait to see the results

It's cute that Ariel still doesn't realise that we'll watch pretty much anything she makes, no matter how niche it may seem!

We don't have the same taste in books but your personality is so infectious + I've been living for these house videos

I love your hideous 80s marble frame, I think it works really well with Monet. Also Nay on the double lighthouse. I think what might be fun is having a lighthouse picture in every room. And I mean literally every room. Bathroom, kitchen, closet, all of it. See how long it takes guests to notice, turn it into a game. Or maybe do none of those things, it's your house and you'll double lighthouse if you want to.

Ariel’s editing commentary on her own video is SENDING ME TO OBLIVION LMAO 😂

I’m all for frame hauls. 😂

Your nails are always polished to perfection and I'm so impressed.

For the lighthouse paintings, I think they look great next to each other but the frames don’t really go together... so you could get a new frame for one but that’s what you just did 😂

Me : Audibly **gasp** when Ariel says she want to spend the summer outside waterpainting in her backyard. This whole thing is becoming way to aestheticaly satisfaying for me.

Edward Hopper's art is absolutely beautiful. He captures real life so beautifully

i would definitely put the two lighthouse paintings together. They look like two eyes..it would be even better if you hang fairy lights or a vine underneath them, it could make a smiley face :)

I think that the lighthouses need to stay together. But I think you should paint the wood frame so they match in that way as well.

this vid makes my english lit and art history major soul sing thank you

YES. LIGHTHOUSES. DO THE THING. Thank you for inspiring me with the art, Ariel!!!

We are the group called “one person” and we are here for this!

*whispers to myself* remember blanche had a monet print in the 80s with wicker in the room it's ok the 80s can't hurt you. The 80s can't hurt you

Honestly, I WOULD watch a whole video on a thrifted frame haul. I also thrift all of my frames, even repaint them and make them so that I can put my own art in. Love this!!!

This is Chris and my idea of a perfect video. I love buying books, he makes art and buys arts and old frames. You are now officially Savidge household catnip, if that doesn’t sound weird. Hahaha. It does sound a bit weird but its sent with love. Hehe.

the comments in “ “ made me laugh sooo hard

YES to hanging the lighthouse in the day aka Nova Scotia lighthouse next to the lighthouse at night. It goes really well together!

The Marriage piece looks like a scene from Titanic.

I adoooreeee Edward Hopper. I went to a café and found a book of his art for $3 !!! What a steal! His art is so comforting and haunting at the same time 🤍

You can paint the frame in a black and it will make the colors of the print pop! Such a good deal on the frames. I love multiple item hauls my fav is thrifted items and of course books 📚 😊

Oh Ariel :) there might be many that can relate to your art, books, and frames haul 😁 There are also many that no longer sleep and stay up shopping. I may or may not be one of the many haha ETA: 20 years ago I ran across an original oil painting in a thrift store and I absolutely loved it. It's of a city in ruins and there's a girl walking on a steel girder with a ribbon on a stick. It's all sharp lines and shadow and the girl is such a contrast. The painting is signed Don Davis (I think) . Ive never been able to find the artist but "The girl" is still a treasure to me. I wish I could thank him. When things are tough, that little ribbon in the wind speaks to me ❤

my vote is for an entire lighthouse art wall

Was it random? Yes. Was it weird? A little. Did I love it? Absolutely!! 🙂

You should 100% put those two lighthouse paintings together. It would be a crime if you didn’t. Also it’s cool that one’s day and one’s night, it’s perfect

yes to matching lighthouse paintings. might be my lighthouse obsessed self talking but 100% do it.

I love the juxtaposition of the two lighthouses especially as the frames are the same size but contrasting tones!

Especially for photos but also any art you really want to protect, it’s best to include a mat so the art does not stick to the glass over time

Please seriously keep up with the niche book rec/hauls! I love your wide range of interests! I have never seen a bootuber who was also into Frida Kahlo and Haruki Marukami and romance books all at once. I loved your video on random books you find interesting and found that I also love those things too.

I am absolutely here for this! Frames are super interesting to buy. We contracted an oil painting in historical style for my bf's parents for an anniversary and searched for a fancy gold frame for it. So we called an antique store and told them them the measurements and they found one for us, so beautiful! It wasn't cheap, but totally elevated the painting and worth it.

One vote for keeping the lighthouses together. I actually almost never watch book hauls so I probably wouldn't have seen this if it hadn't been for the art and frames!

OBSESSED with the monet/marble combo. 😍

I even enjoyed the art and frame haul more then the books😄 I love hauls, love book hauls, love art, love frames so naturally this was great! I moved into my own (two room plus kitchen) flat a year ago and I feel like getting excited about stuff like frames, dishes and other "daily life stuff" is a combination of being in this situation and just being into that kind of stuff. I love intentional shopping and talking about breakfast foods, floors and furniture🤷🏻

keep the double lighthouse!! maybe put them on parallel walls though since they mirror each other?

I love this video because it's just unbridled joy about all the things you like 🙈 It's so nice to just see someone being so enthusiastic about things 😂

I love the fact that you would have got frames and you could certainly paint them to match anything you want. I buy my frames from second-hand shops and yard sales. What fun you were having thank you for sharing.

I too do my online shopping at night! Guess I’m just less critical in my when the sun has set. And the lighthouses would look good on top of each other!

Yes to the lighthouse paintings. And the frame hall. I’d watch you haul spoons.

I like the lighthouse pictures together, but maybe spray paint the frames so they match

I’ve fallen in love with Edward Hopper as well. I have his art of a lonely café in the middle of the night (I can’t remember the title) and it’s the pride of my house ❤️

On frames: I buy them buy the cart load and then print a lot of art we find or pictures to hang around our house. I’ve only bought one frame from Michaels, and it was for a piece I bought from my college’s senior art show and I wanted it the second I saw it (she hadn’t even finished setting up her show at all😂😂😂) and you’re right, it was worth it, having it professionally framed because she’s about 5 feet tall! But we got a ton of discounts and it went from being almost $1k to like, $300! I love any of the hauls you do, I’m all here for the niche content! I’d love to make a drawing for you! If you’d like to talk about it, I’d be happy to talk about it😊 And yes, hang the lighthouses together! Also also, I am so thrilled by all of the books kids and teens get to choose from now, and I love looking through them as a woman in their 30’s. Haha. Plus when my kiddos get to the age for them, we’ll have books to talk about! Oh! And one last edit: I’d suggest Lumberjanes! It’s a really fun graphic novel and one of the OG writers/creators is Noelle Stevenson (who was the creator/show runner for the She-Ra reboot!!)

Yes put lighthouses together but paint the frame white. The house's pictures remind me of your house. Great video.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The strange adventures in fredericton is also so fun! One of my fav stores to visit when I'm wandering around downtown

Hopper is one of my favorite American artists! My favorite works of his include The Automat and Chop Seuy.

Let me just say as an artist, amateur self proclaimed interior designer, and book lover this was a absolute blessing. You deserve good things in life. Have a lovely week hon 🌻🌄💛

YES you should put the lighthouses together but I'd recommend painting the brown frame white OR painting them both some other colour you'd prefer

I really enjoyed your art haul - I look forward to the next! (And absolutely, yes - hang the lighthouse next to his cousin - they look splendid together)

This is the sort of haul I never knew I wanted. I now know that I love art hauls, and also frames are very exciting. I was picturing (pun intended) the art you bought in the frames and everything. I love the enthusiasm you bring to whatever you’re doing! Also, I’m 37 and I LOVE middle grade books. I’ve recently discovered that I also enjoy some YA fantasy and mysteries. It makes a nice in-between for the adult fiction. Andres Barba is a phenomenal writer. His other book, Such Small Hands, is beautiful and VERY creepy.

I recommend the Fran Lebowitz reader as an audiobook while reading! Lebowitz narrates it herself It is fantastic

those two lighthouses together spark joy

DOUBLE LIGHT HOUSE! however since they're not the same size, i would hang the brown frame noticably higher or lower to trick the eye to think they are the same size. gallery walls are fun and don't need to line up :D

I love the New York movie print! My dad printed me out a small print of that years ago because I worked at a movie theatre for 9 years - it’s definitely one I’d like to get in a larger print when I eventually get my own house.

When we frame fancy stuff, we will get custom frames from a guy who’s been doing it for decades. I love going to the frame shop and looking at the cool artwork and frames scattered around the whole place.

The house from one of the paintings looks like Green Gables.

My bf started looking at properties in Nova Scotia yesterday 😅

This is the content we all need! Love the green frame, & I agree early Picasso is where it's at!! Yes to the lighthouses! :D If you have a proper unique piece of art, definitely go to have it custom framed properly if you can afford it. Store bought frames are alright but some of them have adhesives that can damage the art over the years. Also the glass is seldom UV resistant so oil paintings & paper will turn yellow.

I would say add the other lighthouse but in a white/similar frame as the other lighthouse but the two of them next to each other would be so nice!!

Yes, to the two mirrored lighthouses!

I love the lighthouses side-by-side!

I really like the frame for the Monet and I think the lighthoused pieces would go great together

YES TO THE LIGHTHOUSES TOGETHER!!

Keep the lighthouse! 🤗 Loved all the art!

As a bookworm who also loves art AND is currently saving for her own house...this video was the absolute best.

Yes, on the lighthouse!!!!! Lovely choices on the art!

I loved everything about this video, as a fellow buying-too-many-art-prints enthusiast, this really spoke to my soul (although I often find it daunting to commit to prints, I worry about how whether stuff goes together a lot lol). It's so interesting to see what kind of art other people decide to put into their homes, isn't it? It feels quite intimate. Also, totally put the two lighthouses together, it looks so cool!

I would save the second lighthouse painting and hang it next to the other one but In a frame that matches the other one or ad least in matching frames once you get a frame to match or another matching set that could be used for them.

YES to the Lighthouses! Maybe sand and paint the frame white to match?

I really love Fun Home. Also I think the two square lighthouses look so good together!

YES I get all my frames from that Value Village! So good! And the two lighthouses should be next to eachother and be friends!

Love that you always get so excited about books. So excited in this one that you never said the name of the third on while talking about it (The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise).

Got to say I love the light-house mirror moment

Books, art and frames. Could not think of a better haul!!

sir all I've ever wanted is a frame and art haul I need more people to do this so GOOD

Love how you went out and ended up bringing home too many books. I went to visit friends and family for 2 weeks and came back with an actual suitcase of books completely unplanned 😅 Love finding other people with a similar energy

Please keep the lighthouse painting you thrifted! It's so great...it looks like folk art/outsider art which is such a cool aesthetic! I agree with what others have said though...maybe painting that thrifted frame white to match the one beside it (or painting both frames another same colour) will make it more cohesive and draw attention to the art. Right now, the brown frame is what draws the attention more than the art. Love the whole haul though! Really fun! Please keep us updated with reviews as you read through the books.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but an easy and cheap way to make frames is get some molding (like the kind you use on your walls) and cut 4 pieces at 45 degree angles and glue or nail it together! You'll have to get the glass or plastic protector separate but if you need a really specific size it might be a useful trick instead of going to Micheals!

I don't really like those two frames next to each other, for the lighthouses. However, it is your house and you do what you want with it!

I love this so much and got many laughs from your text emphasis of things you were saying to describe the frames.

I love your videos so much they all feel like a treat! This video made me feel like a day full of sunshine. I love the art and frame haul , I once got a photo of clown dolls from a charity shop and now it’s in my room.

I love the lighthouse pieces. They are meant to go together.

I love the light house but with a white frame omg cute
