I prefer the more frequent small updates. Like where its your life and hey maybe you hung a light, maybe you bought a curtain. Just small little things instead of over the top grand reveal. Usually those kinda glaze over the process to save for time so I like seeing more of the real life hurdles of designing a home. Also we like you as a person so its fun to see your life as well!

I like seeing all the little day to day things you’re doing to your place. That’s how we all update our homes and it’s fun to watch your journey. I personally would want the living room and kitchen to be the same color since the division isn’t clear..

a few random more functional tips (i grew up with my parents remodeling our old house so i see spaces and instantly go to that mindset) 1. shower curtain if fabric still needs a plastic backing to prevent mildew and mold - i love the idea of the ceiling certain but maybe do a sheer fabric bc the window lets in a lot of good light 2. get a bathroom fixture with 2 or 3 bulb spots it makes the place feel so much brighter 3. outdoor lighting! not only design wise but for safety at night is super important no wallpaper in bathrooms with showers, the humidity increases chance of mold, maybe a lighter yellow could complement the green nicely? i can’t wait to see what you do with the place i think more frequent check ins can be fun and then at the end do a bigger video showing it all together. plus with frequent check ins you get more ideas from the audience

Such a cute place. I prefer the more frequent updates like a lot of others have mentioned! It’s fun to see it as you go and see the thought process of you picking things out and deciding on stuff rather than a before and after kind of thing.

I think you could do both!! I like smaller, more frequent updates, but you could definitely also film a full Before/After video because they do well on KZfaq

I like seeing the process. I mean, sure, there’s something satisfying about the whole instant gratification of seeing a total transformation in twenty minutes, but you miss out on the reality of how many problems come up that need to be solved and such. Seeing the thought process in real time is much more educational and in the end, I think we all appreciate the whole adventure more. But in the end, it’s whatever works best for you which you’ll figure out as your go along. I love that headboard. It’s so practical and cool and interesting. I hope you find one 😃

So excited to see what you’ll do with this space! Personally, I’d like a combination of vloggy check-ins of the stuff you’re noodling on AND milestone renovation spotlight videos. Love the channel! ❤

I think it would be much more conducive to the process of decorating to film more of a day to day style. Then you can show off the new pieces you’ve acquired, because you’ll likely be skipping around the house rather than finishing each room one at a time, right? Loving this content! It’s so exciting ❤

Paige have you heard of the channel "Never too small"? they post tours of small homes/sustainable designs and often interview the designers/architects. It might be a lil modern for your tastes but a lottt of the homes that they tour are beautifully done and include creative/unique built-in pieces.

I love the idea of more frequent little updates here and there, like most people already said. For the bar area I would paint the inside of the arch if that makes sense. For some reason I like the idea of red or chartreuse or something dark and bold. And then hang a piece of art on the wall right above the bar. I think a couple of wall shelves filled with books, pottery, etc. would look nice on the wall next to the bar.

In regards to the line by the bar 4:13 , if you paint an accent color as a strip starting from where the counter starts on the left (looking from inside the kitchen 4:38 ), it can help break up the space and highlight the bar itself. It doesn’t have to be a bold color. Another muted neutral would work too. I you change the ceiling light fixture there, a darker color would capture direct lighting really well. You can also purposefully play with the projection of the paint lines if you don’t like it being one solid parallel strip.

@Paige - I would love more content on your decorating process, creating a mood board, online shopping/sourcing, and before/after reveals. I absolutely love your new space. Happy holidays and look forward to more content in 2023.

I like the idea of weekly updates. I think it would be a lot easier for you instead of doing it room by room. I would love to see how it evolves over time. And take us shopping PLEASE

If you don't want to repaint the entire kitchen to match the living room, I'd recommend getting the paint color from the living room matched and painting that one little kitchen wall (and the under side of the "arch" above the bar, both visible at 04:36) with it. That way there isn't a line in the middle of a wall where the two paint colors meet

Hi Paige, lynne here, on that brown fence outside, plant something like a vine being aware of light requirements and make it an espalier. Paint the fence dark grey/ black first.

I would love to see the process, maybe like a weekly house update. Then maybe you can do a separate video focusing on the before and after of a space once it's "done". But the weekly one could just be bits and bobs you've bought for different spaces because few people decorate just one room at a time.

So excited to see all of this come together!

we should normalize rollout tv carts like they had during rainy days in school, bring it out for special events like a watch party and keep it stored somewhere else when not needed

Paige, I pictured a Art Deco vanity in your bedroom, I’m so glad your considering that… It’s really a charming home, I’m excited to see you make it your own

updates along the way! more frequent posting and seeing the process is my favorite way to see a space be transformed. So excited for the videos to come!

The black and white tiled countertop is so retro and mid century 😎 if it becomes a super colorful kitchen that would totally go with the countertop vibes

It’s so exciting to see the small little updates, the way you think. Thank you for your channel. Happy holidays! 🎉❤

I would love to see frequent updates and the before and after reveals! It’s so fun and interesting to see your process on how you decide what to use/make/modify/etc, and sometimes those seemingly little decisions have a huge impact.

Hope you do both! I love a good before and after. Sounds like you have a lot of good ideas. I can't wait to see the outcome.

You need an portable AC and a space heater for the garage space if you don’t want heatstroke or be frozen;)

i think one thing that could make your garage have a more “inside” feeling would be hanging a (sheer?) ceiling curtain in front of the garage door 😊 it would add privacy, protect you from harsh light shining in, and you could open the garage door when it’s nice outside while still having privacy

Both for sure! Happy holidays to you and yours Paige!

Do both! Daily videos and before and afters! I am always looking forward to your content and I am also currently decorating a rental so I'm extra keen to see what you do with the place!

Love the vision for your new home ✨️ Congratulations! I'd love to see a vlog style play by play, as well as larger videos that show the whole transformation. So definitely both. Can't wait to follow along ❤️

I love your new place! There is so much interest and storage and I for one think your style direction is going to be very cool. I totally feel your ideas for the outdoor space. I think i would go for a skinny long table as they feel more intimate than round, in my opinion, and on those days when I want to work outside (which is all the time), there is room to spread out comfortably. I can see the lights hanging and friends enjoying being out there. That was the first thing i did moving into my place as it was instant gratification while you select your more long-term pieces for the inside. The place feels cozy and like an artist's space. I can't wait to see what you do. I'd watch you rearrange your dishes, honestly and appreciate the work it must take to put up these videos. Whatever you decide, I'll watch them all. I totally enjoy you!

Definitely do both types of videos, all the types really, whatever you wanna film I’ll watch. Really love your style and excited to see the transition 🖤

Maybe accentuate the ‘strange paint line’ by painting the wall above the bar in a different colour than the rest of the bar? I think these architectural strangenesses deserve to be underlined rather than hidden. They’re so charming!

This is a great opportunity to see how u balance the old with the new / different styles. I'm excited to see what you do!!

I would love to see both! Small projects here and there, and then a final reveal when it is all put together ❤

Love your videos, so excited to see how the space develops! For the weird bar area I would probably do some shelves that go counter to ceiling from the edge of the counter to right where the arch is starting. Same color wood as the counter. Something to serve as a transition between the colors.

I LOVE the idea of a garage/office. Being about to open the garage door and have an open wall is such a vibe. Indoor/outdoor office

I like the daily fixes. Fun to hear your thought process.

I'm so excited to see this home series!!!! I'm getting lots of inspiration already :D Idk how precious the large red painting is to you, but I work in an art gallery and I just learned the other day that any thing that is adhesive might ruin an oil painting over time. I do love the mood board idea tho!

Your house is going to look so good, I am really excited to see the progress

I used curtains for my shower and do not regret it. With the style of my bathroom I used two like actual curtains. Loved it

I already want to see more 😭 your place is so so beautiful

Go mid-century modern in the bathroom with a rich, medium toned pink for the walls and a green shower curtain like in your inspo picture. Add artwork to bring the colors together in either dark tones or light-- Love the old early 1900's sink and faucets!

I like listening to your thought process as you make your design decisions as this is all very new to me and it doesn't come naturally to me so the shorter more frequent videos I find helpful to learn from. Thanks for the good (and entertaining!) content. :)

For the shower curtain - I really recommend Zara Home’s water proof linen shower curtains. They feel like normal curtains and are washable but work great with water. They are also pretty long and might be good for you!

I'm literally so excited for this

Love your ideas !!!

I love the idea of taking us along on your journey designing the space, and then you could do an update/end reveal with more formal footage.

I love watching people design their homes cause it’s always so different from what I would do. This home screams cozy French cottage to me but your mid century modern pieces would never have occurred to me. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Both! I think it would be fun to see your thought process as you go and then the big reveal!

I'd definitely do wallpaper in the curve of the bar to distinguish it as its own area. I'm pretty wallpaper obsessed though and would do it in your bathroom too - I saw another commenter say to avoid it in areas with high humidity but you can lightly brush or spray a sheer matte poly/varnish (like for hardwood floors) over it which will both protect it and make it really easy to wipe down to clean.

Small updates are sooo cool!!!

post whatever you're enjoying filming! I enjoy seeing what you're working on.

One suggestion for the weird paint line over the countertop would be to get a large art piece that ties in colors from the living room and kitchen. If you center it over the island so that it overlaps the paint line slightly it may help visually bridge the two spaces/distract from the mismatched paint.

Placing your sofa in the position you’re planning makes perfect sense, especially since you have a huge wall opposite the fireplace where your TV can go. This will also help you avoid putting the sofa against the wall. 👍🏾

Lean into the weird line and hang a piece of art on it, not essentially centered! I love the new space, cant wait to see what you do with it!

Looking forward to ALL the videos. 😊 Happy Holidays Paige. 🎄🎁🎍

I would put a piece of curved copper hugging the curve of the bar to reflect light ✴️🕯️ hope you have fun in your new home ❤️

more videos like vlog style! would love seeing your thought process during the designing of each space. more interesting and engaging imo

We have a turn of the century row home where there is a line/small bump out on the wall where the old vestibule used to be, so we honestly just leaned into it and used wallpaper and made it an entryway closet and delineated the two spaces and capped it with trim so I could see using that line in the kitchen as a natural stop point for anything, paint/wallpaper whatever 🫶

I love the dark knobs much better then the clear ones. I’d love the update of the week. This will be fun

I think for the bar area / kitchen, you should lean into the paint line between the living room and the kitchen, use a dark or bold color underneath the arch, and bring it all the way over to the left wall of the kitchen!

I think it would be cool to paint the arch above the bar a fun pop of color, and leave the wall white. So you may have to paint the beige wall white to match the rest of the living room. The fun color from the arch ceiling would extend down to the counter.

House flooded and had to take down all the walls, ceilings, and floors. Look forward to redesigning my space with you Paige. Of course after the holidays. Got all my red and green decor up.

I like this in the process videos as well. As long as you show the areas and your inspiration pics it's entertaining:)

Do both. Looking forward to seeing the progress you make and the final result.

Definitely love the frequent small updates! Big reveals are fun too but the in betweens are encouraging. Feels like random phone calls from a long distance sibling 😁👍

BOTH! to your end of video question. we love it all

I think the white look great in the bathroom! You can add color by adding arts and colorful towels and rug etc

Daily! Knowing and appreciating the process is cool

Would love a video of your brainstorming process. Mood boards, where you organize inspo, basically how you approach finding the right items and colors if you do that digitally

Put an art piece over the weird paint line at the bar between the living room and the kitchen! Breaking the line with a visual pop would be super cool!

I'll looking forward to seeing your approach to decorating your house! I'm getting my first place in January and need all the advice I can get.

Yes to both daily/behind the scenes videos and before & after videos!

ahhh i love the crystal knobs!! maybe I'm super off here, but they remind me of the vintage glass doorknobs you see in really old beautiful houses.

For the paint line, I think you should put a small vintage piece of art right in the center to make the line itself more distinct!

lol snuck another "chartreuse" in there but yeah you can go ahead and paint the bathroom if you want it dark and moody, but I think you can have the same effect if you have a small lamp replace any overhead lighting as the main source of light (if possible). i think it makes a small room look taller and when you're feeling extra moody you can add candles!!

Would love to see the daily stuff of working on your house it's fun to see your style and updates The house is so charming

I would get a vine plant (like pothos) and within a few months it will grow long enough to disguise the paint line thing between the bar and livingroom. I would get a stick or two for it to climb up, but once it grows it will be covered up.

Both! I LOVE process videos, watching you actually work (though I k ow they are hard to film, or least I find the filming a constant distraction). But you can always just do a wide-angle time lapse. And then I also LOVE before and after reveals, even if I’ve watched the whole process along the way. I think you could edit some talking head stuff where you talk about the decisions you are making along the way, the insights, the ways you are changing your mind, etc, interspersed with time lapse of you actually working.

both please!

Congrats🎉 I recommend preparing for some weather… I tried to make our garage in San Diego another office. The computers overheated in September’s heat wave. And I use a space heater during Jan./ Feb. I hope this helps!

Would be great to have videos throughout the decorating! Would love to see your thought process on deciding paint colours/wallpaper/light fixtures/rugs etc xx

I think more frequent, updates and "how to"-ish (whatever that means to you) vids would be awesome. I've been in a house decorating slump since we moved in almost 5 years ago and I think your vids would get me pumped! A before and after at the end of the project would be awesome too!

I enjoy the process and the internal thoughts that go into the final decision but I also will skip to the end for the "big reveal" because I am a Scorpio and I wanna know! I will definitely go back and watch it all. i have been into beige and white and I love that your trim is beige... 4:19 I have painted entire spaces white and then the inside of arches, bright blue, or neon pink. or you could do matte walls and inside do gloss (just inside the arch)

Paige, re the paint on where the bar ends - I'd paint that living room wall the same color as the kitchen - not any beige, but a really cool color that you love - like chartreuse - it'd be striking with all that white cabinetry and it'd play up your fireplace tile too. You could have a vase of flowers that are white with light green flowers and then the filler of greens and some yellows. That color separation would delineate the separation, give it some unity (there's a lot of odd lines with the rounded corner bar and then the square top of the door and the solo post side of the door) - and it would give it depth. You could also do a dark red - and add a lot vibrant art! I'd love to see a dark color in your bathroom - even a navy with all that white tile- crisp and clean. I'd only lift the shower curtain to just above the tile and use a vinyl liner and a decorative vinyl curtain. You could get one with thick horizontal black and white stripes, or a scenic one with trees or something. I love your idea to put the sofa aside from the fireplace - I had the same set up in the 70s and did my sofa on one side, a glass top coffee table and 2 chairs that were closer to the fireplace that had a warm paneled wall. Also love the idea of the mirror facing the front door and windows to allow light. And the other mirror with a light over it.

Hi Paige, I love seeing so frequent updates from you. Don't know how you do it right before christmas ;). I love that you have so many large windows in your new place, although in the videos it sometimes looks quite dark inside. Thats why I would try to keep it light in the kitchen/ living room. For the linen closet area on the other side leaning into a moody feel could be fun, like painting the doors or walls a very intense or dark color.

Happy House Warming. A thought about the area above the bar where a line defines the ceiling would be to paint it an accent color.

I’d love to see a seating area beside the garage door for indoor outdoor seating. Like a couple of comfy chairs and a glass coffee table

I would looove both kind of videos!

Do a paint line on both sides of the bar counter and carry it across the coved dropped ceiling. Make it dark or brightly jewelled so it doesn't compete tonally with the kitchen and the living spaces.

I enjoy more frequent little updates! You are the one KZfaqr that I rewatch your videos in the background of my day to day happenings, I like hearing you talk I guess lol.

I'm getting a vibe from your place as if it could be a reinterpretation of a 1050's LA apartment ala 1950 Humphrey Bogart in the film 'In a Lonely Place'. Art, plants, pillows and drape fabric will bring it alive. Loving the furniture placement in the living room. Also seeing the view to the kitchen area from the living room as an updated "Casa Blanca" re interpretation as well. Plants, brass and low lighting from your cool wooden lamp. Rattan small lamp shades for your sconces could also use a think.

For the vines in the backyard, you should totally grow night blooming Jasmine! It smells so beautiful, vines so beautifully!

I would like to see frequent updates and the before and after reveal! ❤️ I want it all!🎉

If you do a space quickly, maybe a reveal, but you are being specific and curating your pieces, so I would enjoy frequent updates and chat. I'm also curious as to whether you will end up with "placeholders" to function while waiting on that one piece you actually want. My parents renovated a kitchen and put all the cabinets in their basement, intending to install them. Instead, they built a new home, and installed them in the basement garage (they have a 2.5 car garage on the main level, and a one car in the back, lowest level, intended for mowers etc.) It's really a nostalgic moment to go in dad's garage and see the cabinets from our childhood. They are reconfigured, so the old countertop is gone, it's butcherblock style. So excited for your new adventures!

im begging pls update as much as possible on how you think about decorating the place! i find it useful to learn

All the home content please! Dream space ❤

It be fun to watch shopping for your new furniture videos. I also like videos like this one.

In my opinion the contrast is good to keep because it differentiates the rooms, I always like to go with lighter colors for the kitchen because when I'm cooking that's what I want to see. But overall choose different colors for the rooms that make you happy! Highlight what you'd like to highlight

Your place is so cute! I love a cute LA bungalow. I would love to see some chunky, structural art deco pieces and maybe some 70s-era pieces for interesting textural balance mixed in with the modern and mid-century looks you mentioned. I recommend checking out some interior design books on the history of LA architecture/ interior design from the library for inspiration! (Plus the downtown LA library is so gorgeous and always worth a visit!) Can't wait for more videos! I especially love ones where we get to hear your reasons--both aesthetic and functional-- for picking particular pieces. That's always the most interesting to me!
