My Meme Mom!😍

It would really cool like the websites were you got the wallpapers and such…you’re doing a great job at interior designing 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Yes! Wallpaper source pleeeeeeze! ❤️

Good catch!

Good one! SPOTTED!!!

Freudian slip

or immortal

@@imsorryforarguingbut4555I’m with you …. She is immortal

The grey paint is effective for selling because if you buy the right kind/shade, it works as a primer for the new buyer. Genuinely sobbed when I painted over my beautiful bold browns, reds, greens, etc, but house sold in days because it was ready to become someone else's blank slate

@@crystalmetric4706 fair point.

@@crystalmetric4706 thing is everyones homes look like blank slates nowadays

shout out to Jill

@@crystalmetric4706 Yeah, the difference between decorating for pleasure vs decorating for resale!

I love this idea!

I'd be watching that :D

Mrs Crocombe would love that.

Time to add some concrete to my bread :))

Polish cookbooks.

God I hope you're right that it's worth it. I just bought a home myself and even though it's brand new, there's just been one repair after the other. Lool, I guess I am happy though to have it. Despite all the patching up it's needed, it's my own place!

My brother says we're "home-moaners". It is always something, but it is all mine lol.

Ain't that the damn truth! LOL.

I can't wait to have these problems 😩

@lbartel Economically, home ownership is probably for the birds. Houses make LOUSY investments--unless you are going to rent them out or flip them. But for peace of mind, it's probably the way to go.

and if she learns from her dad she can be the type of person who can do those things too.

@@philtastic4 Not doing that is one of my biggest regrets! My Dad did EVERYTHING! I should have learned more. I did ask him once why he taught my brothers how to sharpen kitchen knives with a whetstone, but he didn’t teach me. He said, “We thought you’d marry well.” 😳😳🥴

@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 Oooooofffffff

@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 In a weird twisted way that is a really sweet reply ☺

*kind of dad Also it’s so wholesome

Yes. My current home is like a vamped up mechano kit. Metal struts for framing and outer sheath. Built for US military in GB in WW2. I was shocked to find true right angles between walls, walls and floors and walls and ceilings. The only off line corners are the outer corners if all the built-in corner cupboards. I don't understand how some of those are messed up by 2"/5cms. The baseboards. I bet your Dad knows how to use steam to bend them permanently to the wall's curve. Worth doing as once they're on they'll be right forever.

@Michelle Byrom Oh, that's interesting! I've always lived in masonry buildings, since they are the most common building method by far where I live and I believe masonry buildings are easier to get out of angle, since the bricks are not exactly fitted, but rather put on top of each other... And I believe that houses can get out of angle after they're finished, because of soil movement, humidity, etc. I'm not an engineer, but it's something that sounds likely to me.

True ✋

Yes. We have one bedroom wall that literally bows out at about 25-30 degrees. It's completely different at the top of the wall to the bottom. This is what happens when someone who doesn't know what they are doing encloses a 100 year old porch. (Not us, done probably 75 years ago).

I live in a building that was built in 1890, and nothing is entirely square. But it's ok. I love it, imperfections and all!

Her dad is proud.

Have him sign some of his work in a secret spot. 🥰

Are there other great dads out there? I thought Karolina’s dad was an exception. I genuinely want to regain trust in dads, I never had any potitive experience in that area …

@@RainbowSunshineRain I'm so sorry that yours let you down. That's really hard. I hope you find someone that earns your trust.

@@Adrienne557 Thank you 🙏 💕

And that, having poured oil in the pan first. 😂🥰😘

Why you are not a boss.

literally me rn watching this on a separate tab while a zoom meet on a separate tab is playing right next to it.

🤎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

LMAO i am watching this at work too

lol saame, you guys

Yes! And if there's any little gap left, you just fill it with paintable caulk

Using steam at the place where a strong curve like that occurs helps to prevent splitting.

don't forget that fabric softener is pretty flammable though! the hot spray water idea seems much better

or just steam them in the shower?

Oh, I gotta try this on the curtains my mum just sent me! Thanks for the tip :D

Yup. I have hung many curtains in my days and depending on (the weight of) the fabric.. sometimes it's enough to just hang them and give it a week or two. And when you wash them, just hang them while they are wet. I do have a steamer iron, but I'll always try to not use it ☺

she have washing machine, so just washing them and hanging as they are still wet should do the trick ;) especially if the fabric is thick and heavy, with lighter ones you may need probably some extra weight to pull it down

Her dad is there half the time. And when he's not, her sister is.

You tuned out her dad?

Eh, peeps. Get a sense of humor.

Fun fact: the "old book smell" is from an aromatic polymer called lignin in the paper pulp. It off-gasses as it degrades and that's the smell (also a contributor to pages turning yellow) Source: am archive conservator.

@@KatieM786 Oooh that's what it is. I didn't know that :). Very interesting thanks

@@blackhagalaz I'm happy you liked it 😊 The degradation of adhesives and leather and skin bindings contribute to the aroma also, but from books created roughly 1830s onwards in Europe lignin will be the main smell 😊

You're so right, on trend stuff is fine if someone wants to change the decor every year! Traditional style or vintage is my favourite too.

@@KatieM786 Yeah for me it's so interesting to hear about old materials and techniques like this :). I work at a museum (just in administration), and recently I got a little into antique furniture . I didn't actually restore anything jet, but I have been researching how to make little not-to-invasive repairs with historical wax and shellac recipes that are typical for the time my furniture was build. I am a wax-sculptor in my private life, and I would actually love to study a Form of professional restoration (preferably furniture or artwork) but I don't really have money and time to start over with my career. And the places that teach restoration are so far away :(. But I enjoy just about learning stuff about restoration from other people lol :)

[buys new non stick pan] [IMMEDIATE METAL FORK ACTION]

Butter is a must and letting the pan heat up enough before adding the eggs.

Not sure if you are from Europe maybe you are, but in Europe we mostly use oil for that, much healthier, but easier to stick to the pan if you are not careful!

@@paularodriguez9540 Actually the issue is mostly transfats like in old style margerine. Real full fat butter is not really linked to heart health anymore. It ended up being a more complicated story than saturated fats being the cause. I use both butter and oils of various kinds. I think our best bet is probably using a variety.

@@paularodriguez9540 I've done it with oil, too, butter is just tastier ❤

that’s so cute!

My mom has one with red handles

he used to make furniture among other things!

My parents had the exact same table growing up. I think the insets are leather and could probably be stained

I've heard (depending on the area) it can also bring in roaches or any number of other pests 🤮 There was a free couch some of dad's coworkers claimed only to discover very quickly after that anyone who came in contact with it ended up w ring worms 🥴

This particular form of leather top (not covering the full surface, most of the time with gilded decorations) has been used since at least the 18th century, for writing desks and card-playing tables. Which made me very suspicious of Karolina's coffee table before the plot twist, because it's not (only) an ornemental element, it has a fonction, which doesn't match with a coffee table's.

Yes, leather tops were common on writing desks as it gives a softer surface, doesn't mark as easily as polished veneer and is easier to replace when it gets worn. I have the alternative thing, a separate leather writing pad/blotter combination. There are also wine/occasional tables with leather tops, maybe as glasses won't mark the leather. The leather top furniture seems to come in and out of fashion quite a bit. Karolina's coffee table, while a reproduction, looks to be made with good quality timber and leather. I've seen some atrocious reproductions made from very lightweight, cheap timber, drop leaves that sit at rather a downwards angle when folded up and with 'leather' that looked like paper. I've also seen a good quality reproduction writing desk that went a little overboard with the leather, not only was it on the desktop but also stuck on all the drawer fronts! Another hint at it being a reproduction is that low coffee tables were only introduced in the 1920s, you'll struggle to find any real antique modern type coffee tables. I just looked at an 'Edwardian' leather topped occasional table we've got and turns out it's also made by Reprodux, found the name stamped on one of the drawer undersides.

It helps if you can differentiate between WARM and COOL greens ; they are different and shouldn’t be mixed. You need to decide which you prefer, and then commit to a warm or cool palette for wall colors, in this case, green.

@@nanwilder2853 that is a good tip, thanks!

@@marissabulso6439: You are most welcome, Marissa. Take care!

I relate. I always get annoyed at people assuming, I have a 'talent' for cooking. No, I don't. I just cooked food often enough in my life, to have figured out the basic to intermediate stuff. You try recipes, you play around, you mess up and do better next time. That's it. Having proper equipment helps, as does being able to afford quality ingredients. That's another thing. There are great dishes, you can make for cheap. But a lot of the time...good food, sadly, is expensive.

Wow granite! Not even with an impact drill?

Have you ever used them long term? I've always been under the weight limit but still have never gotten them to last... and am always worried it will unstick and drop/wreck my frames. Maybe it's the texture of my walls though 🤷🏽‍♀️

@@catherinesteph my daughter in law has used them with success. None of the items were overly heavy. Not sure if being exposed to heat from strong sunlight or a heat vent would impact their stability though.
