omg pleaaaaaase do a video dedicated to rugs. I've been looking for a new one for my living room for months and I feel like I'm going insane. I can't pick one for the life of me! Would appreciate some inspo 💘

Hey girl, you can't go wrong with wool or jute! You'll never regret a natural fiber. If your home is minimal, scandi or traditional I would choose a fun pattern for a point of interest. If your home is eclectic or boho I would do a neutral or solid rug like jute or sisal just to tie everything together and so it doesn't compete! Also budget for a large rug like at least 8×10 for more to give a lux feel. The brand Safavieh makes good affordable rugs but if you have a big budget I would visit your local antique shop or order vintage from etsy! Best of luck for your search for an amazing rug

Heads up though, jute is not the softest or most comfortable texture on your feet. It's also a pain to clean if you ever spill anything on it or if you have pets (it will permanently discolor and damage the fibers if it gets wet with anything, even water) and not easy to vacuum either. You truly can't go wrong with wool though.

Wool rugs clean themselves to some extent. The lanolin repels soil and sometimes spills can be vacuumed up once they're dry.

​@@twix2615yes I totally agree with your take on jute and sisal! I just replaced my sisal rug with a wool option because my kids got playdoh on it and I just didn't want to try to dig it out of the weave. I was so over that rug! It was impossible to clean but looked amazingggggg. If you are in a more tidy living environment I think sisal or jute would be lovely but if you have kids or pets or are a messy person then pass and choose wool😂 also the sisal was very hard and I had to lay a quilt out for the children to do floor activities. I'm so glad that you mentioned this 😂 ty

Paige most of us have never heard of Tekla so it's ok to recommend to us normies the stuff that "everyone has" 🤣🤣🤣

It’s really crazy, also to keep towels for 8 years should not be considered a long time. I guess Americans really consume in a different way (coming from a European). No attack to Paige, but a bit of an attack to US consumerism.

I wonder if the absorbency issue would be helped by stripping the towels. Like, I have this Mighty Bubbles cleaner that I used to use to remove detergent residue from cloth diapers periodically. Otherwise they lose their absorbency over time. And maybe the $50 towels just have some sort of residue on them from how they were treated in the manufacturing process.

You know what? I was STRESSED lookin for a good rug in a decent price range. I realized after touching multiple, don’t even like the way most wool rugs feel. So yeah polypropylene it is for me😂 and my options became infinite!

Girl Math : If you shower every other day for 8 years (182.50 x 8 years = 1460 showers) and the towel costs $50, ($50 divided by 1460 = .03, then that towel only cost you .03 cents per shower so the towel is basically free. Did I do that right?

my grandma still uses towels she got as a wedding gift over 50 years ago! a good quality towel can really go a long way

omg you and your brother look so similar and it’s very cute, i love it when siblings look like total siblings

This is the kind of content that gives me the biggest design high. I love finding all the accessories that make our lives better both practically and aesthetically. You could do this forever and I would be in the happiest of places. Ty Edited to say: not even necessarily to buy, just to file away for gifts of for when I need to replace things or as I slowly upgrade the pragmatic things in my life to be better quality, unique, visually pleasing …. I like to have a massive catalog of things in my head at all times, basically. You never know when someone in your life needs a thing and it makes me happy to be able to help them find something fabulous.

I still live with parents. I have been slowly building a collection of cute kitchenware in preparation for moving out. All thrifted and vintage. Nice and affordable!

“I’m a worm right now.” Same, Jack. Same.

I bought a house with all of the contents 40 years ago. I still use the thinner, 40yo white towels that absorb so easily. Easy to roll up and bring to my friend’s houses that don’t have in home laundry; they totally appreciate it.

I do like your personality because you aren’t pretentious. You’re honest and forthright which is refreshing in a social media world where a lot of women think they need to have a plastered on personality.

“I don’t want to influence you.” Me: buys the rug

I switched from big, thick towels to Turkish towels and I’ll never go back. They are super absorbent, come in all sorts of beautiful stripes, take up almost no space,and dry so quickly that you can line dry them if you want. They’re perfect for the gym and beach too.

A full video on rugs ? Bich say no more... I'm all for it. And if you find some good websites in € also, it would be dope. In France I find it so hard to find good rugs. My living room is begging for one for at least a year... So desperate. The only good options I have found in euros are on Nordic knots, so... If you have some better ideas, I'll wait ! Love. You're the best of all.

bought some small Muji acacia wood bowls and plates as a stop gap many years ago and they are still going strong, and mix nicely with studio pottery pieces. also great when you are baking to hold measured-out ingredients, or for tapas, dips etc when you are entertaining.

you always host such fun parties! I would loveeee a video about fun themes for hangouts and how to decorate, set the mood etc if that makes sense!! „how to host a fun evening with friends“ or „ideas for a fun themed party“ etcccc. would LOVE. xo

My family always ends calls abruptly with "love you bye!" Hahaha love that goodbye so relatable

Hell yes to a video dedicated to rugs only. Also, your skin looks fantastic!

great video! do one on rugs and hanging light fixtures please! 😄

You should do a video with your brother about being a stylish mid-20s man!!

I’ve just gotta say…when you have a child they tell you what bedspread they want. You can ditch the idea of a gorgeous orange checkered duvet right now. It’s gunna be star wars and not the cute one…the one with Darth Vader battling Yoda.

Paige!!! I bought those Etsy curtains last year, and I swear I would have never considered a check pattern until I started watching your channel. I guess you're an INFLUENCERRR

Muji! Textiles there are addictive. Love those wooden bowls and plates too. 5th comment here to ask for video on rugs please!

What a cool pencil/ pen holder. It looked like a repurposed something! I love stuff that are repurposed

Wow thank you for finding and linking affordable things!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

utsuwa-no-yakata is one of the best shops you've turned me on to! The shipping fee to STL is worth purchasing a few items for my friends, for me, and to have on hand for housewarming and host gifts. Who doesn't love something timeless and beautiful?

Loving this kind of video! And I also love an exclamation point!

In France we have Monoprix and they will do different collabs with designers. I really like the bowls and plates by Axel Chay, they're reasonably priced for something good quality and quite unique

Towels, I switched to all thin Turkish woven towels. They dry quickly, never mold, weigh little to carry or launder, don’t need to be put in the drier, and fold to nothing. As they age they get better. Muji is great, and not expensive.

I think the ‘soft’ plate sitch might be more about how the utensil interacts with the dish - like dragging a metal fork across a stoneware plate kinda makes your brain scratch like a record. And it’s less intense with wood plates or plastic utensils.

Your videos are my little serotonin pill

*Open link in new tab , Open link in new tab , Open link in new tab* I was just scouring the interwebs for a cute jute rug. I think I might grab one from that Etsy shop. I've also had paper mache lamps on my brain... I've seen a few table lamps and pendants. I don't need any DIY's right now but I know it would be so doable rather than shelling out 100 - 300 for a lamp.

I stayed up to watch this (it’s past midnight in the Netherlands). Love the Nickey Kehoe towels and the bedding you showed. Future projects for WAS?

Jack is darling! I love these kind of videos. I like that you featured Etsy sellers. Years ago I purchased plush amazing RH towels but I found 820gm cotton on Amazon in 2019 that are amazing quality for $12. I found I always try and buy vintage or handmade local. I have a set of Noritake rosewood handles w/rivets-just forks and knives that belonged to my mom. I've tried to find spoons but can find them no where. The Betsu set you featured is nice. The Noritake is 18/8 stainless and so beautifully made. Sometimes you just can't dupe! The Mexican dominos night sounds fun-hope it all worked out well - thanks Paige!

Great overview! I have several Toyo storage boxes for my art studio... love them! I'm also loving the flatware suggestion... I have been toying with getting a 48 piece set of the Sabre Paris in the Bistrot line (color to be determined) which is similar in style, to what you suggested)... but yours is another great option and much more affordable!

I liked the video! It is interesting to see what you bought or wish to buy. It is also a pity that you missed 1980s Ralph Lauren magazine ads, I think you would like their colors and plaids.

Me yea Paige I love your personality and your interior design style ❤

Would love some recommendations for tablecloths. Really like these home decor things. Thanks for sharing.

Ooooh that H&M lamp sorta reminds me of the &Tradition Colette lamp. They have the Colette lamp with a red trim!

Hi I don’t know why but you really make me laugh so much I love your videos and the recommandations are great

I think "attain" or "decor that is attainable" because sometimes I find things on the side of the road people are giving away and it's exactly what I was looking for because Paige has given me the eyyeeeee.

Would love to see more small-space content, especially furniture recommendations & configuration ideas for hosting people!

I have a Toyo toolbox for my art tools, and it’s honestly such nice quality, and looks super cute too.

Hi Paige! I love to shop H&M for inexpensive tanks and tees. The quality is generally on par with most brand names and I like to replace them every so many years when they lose their luster.

Omg, YES Japanese ceramics are the BEST! I have bowls that are in perfect condition after more than 23 years of daily use. They are hands down the most durable dishes and bowls I have ever had.

Loved this video ❤ you should paint your wooden ikea storage boxes some fun colours, like the ones from the container store

Hola Paige, thanks for sharing the bedding ideas. I always have difficulty with bedding 'cause I live in a studio --though my kitten and bathroom are in two separate rooms, my main room is the "living/sleeping" room and it's so difficult to interior...anywho, the watercolors were also interesting.
