Am I the only one amazed she's rented the same place for 48 years?

This is all I want in life. Having my place, surrounded by memories of my friendships and experiences, being able to work in my art and experiment until I die.

Wouldn't want to rent for 48 years, it's never actually yours

I've always thought textile artists/people have the most unique perspective on colour, materials and finish. This is space is such a testament to that. Beautiful.

Sim, enquanto as pessoas convencionais vem em uma paisagem somente a árvore... nós artistas vemos o céu, as tonalidades diferente das nuvens, as flores e frutas das árvores, os diferentes tamanhos dos galhos, o caule, a grama... as ervas daninhas... tudo q abrange o cenário!❤

Thank you. You cannot imagine how happy your point of view about how we see and feel our world and express through color (among others) makes me feel right now. It feels good to be valued.

Relationships where both are artists must be so unique and deep

i wanna hear more about her life with Patrick! i was hanging onto every second. seems like there's a story behind every single thing in that home. she didn't just go out and buy everything like we do nowadays. i wanna hear alllll her stories! 48 years in that space!

My friend lived in a shared flat as a student and they had a professional restorer as roommate. He did restoring work in churches, castles etc. and he could paint faux marble too so he painted a wall in their kitchen with it where they had their table. It looked so pretty. - Also just fyi: The Semperopera in Dresden in Germany is also faux marble everywhere. The pillars, the wall panels... everything. We once got an exclusive tour in 1986 when it was still East Germany because I threw a message in a bottle overboard from Sweden back to West Germany and a girl from Dresden on vacation at the isle Rügen (they were actually out surfing on Hiddensee, a little island in front of the other) found it and wrote back to me. So we got to visit them in 1986 in Dresden. And her father worked in the Palace of Culture and was an artist himself so that's how I know it. Kind of a long story. Sorry. 😄

Thanks for sharing, very cool story!

I follow like 8 different home/interrior design youtube pages and they all post lovely videos that makes me go, "Well, I wish i had that spot, oh I wish I could buy that spot, then make this and that differently." I clicked this video and I immediately felt that there has never been someone more suited for a space than she is for her home. She did it exactly the way she wants. I wouldn't touch a thing. I wouldn't let anyone touch a thing. I love it so much that I wouldn't even want it for myself. I feel without her presence there, it wouldn't feel as whole. It'd be incomplete without her touch. What an inspiring artist :')

It made me want to see her top 20 favorites, everything she talked about were all unique and had a fun little story attached, definitely would’ve liked to see more!

Pauline Caulfield is such an incredibly inspiring and interesting person and so is her studio/home.

What a lively and refreshing artist and space- I love her attitude and she has an extremely interesting and unique style. Its a breath of fresh air, compared to so many other overly curated, copycat interior spaces we see nowadays.

This was such an incredible episode I finished it and immediately watched a second time all the way through. So many stories wrapped up in one home. Also that woman should write a book about her life because I would reeeaaaddddd it.

same! i feel like they edited a lot of her stories down but i wanted to hear about how she got every single piece in her home! this could've been an hour long!

What a lovely home full of character. Some Victorian fireplaces were made of slate and hand painted in faux marble, many people have stripped this finish off thinking it wasn’t original. Lovely to see it’s still there!

As an artist/designer I am loving this space and my dream is that some day I will have my very own studio. Fantastic space!

Has anybody told you all that your channel is basically aesthetic ASMR. Audio is great, visuals are stunning, just amazing.

Much enjoyed listening to Pauline Caulfield talking and showing her lovely living space. I used to live just round the corner from Primrose Hill, it is such a nice area as well. Also so interesting to hear about Patrick Caulfield and seeing the art of the other famous artists they know and knew. Lovely film. Thank you,

The heart and home of a true artist! Bravo!

I am afraid that Patrick died in 2005, and I am relying on Wikipedia for that information. But I do agree with you, she is lovely, and talks about Patrick as though he was still alive

She says at the end about the John Hoyland painting, "who's going to know about it unless they know?" and it is literally the first thing that caught my attention in this video.

Amazing. What a house full of stories and what a lovely lady!. The heart and home of a true artist! Bravo!.

Wow. Rented for 48 years! In Australia you’re lucky to get a 12 month lease renewed. People get thrown out of rentals for no reason still (usually so the landlord can up the rent, even if they don’t offer it to the current tenants first). I wish we had English tenancy rights here. So many people I know don’t follow creative pursuits or our dreams, because we just don’t have a secure house for long, including myself for a long time - long enough for me to get old enough to not bother anymore, even though I’m now in a secure place. Maybe this is why Australia has a very poor arts industry and artists are mainly just wealthy or privileged kids or people. We have no security here to even invest in ourselves long term in this way. She is so lucky.

I don't think an open ended, protected tenancy is very common in London either, but they do exist. I was lucky enough to have one in the 80s in London, a former flatmate passed it on to me and then i did the same when i left - a large two storey flat (wonky floorboards but that was ok) very cheap rent which included a bottle of gas for the fire! It was great to not have to worry about humongous rent.

I think it very much depends on circumstances and people. I'm from Australia, my formative years in the 90s and early 2ks were very accommodating to my art. I was able to go to uni thanks to HECS (poor working class bkgd), and the dole enabled my friends and I to keep up art after that to the point where we called it 'the arts grant'. A lot of people I know would never have had the time to develop their work if not for that and I've heard a few musicians say that too. Sharehouses lasted for years, decades even, but maybe things have changed. The combination of share housing and the dole has been the seed bed for most of Australia's art culture.

I especially enjoy the scrumptious colors she has chosen for her walls. Vibrant in a gentle way.The faux marble is fantastc! Stunning.🙂

Regarding 1:40, lately I’ve been reminding Mom of all the stuff she let me do (or get away with?) back in the mid-to-late ‘70s and very early ‘80s - when I was 8, 10, 12, those ages - sometimes with her right there, sometimes unsupervised, sometimes semi-supervised (as in “Okay, I’ll be in the salon/office/church basement, don’t wander too far, and you need to be back in two hours,” and then I’d drift off to wherever, it felt like miles away), and her jaw drops in disbelief but she also kinda smiles … and we were in Latin America, by the way, in a capital city with a rather dicey crime rate, but it was just a different mood worldwide I think. And I’m still here to tell the tales!! So this artist sounds like a good mom, she reminds me very much of my own. 🤗🎨🕺

Beautiful! A lot of small details that makes the vibe of this home so ‘feel good’

Making a work space that just fits into a beautiful home and amazing garden..loved it all.❤

So beautiful, thank you for making this and thank you to Pauline for sharing her home.

It’s amazing to see the primrose garden’s neighbors who has remodeled to be fully artistic house.

​@@roospooscreateI don't know a story, but she sounds like a very interesting neighbor. Would love to have a neighbor like that next door, and would love to lease a home to a person like this. When a renter is good who would want to end the lease just to look for another renter. It doesn't make sense.

it is absolutely beautiful, it's not overdone, the textiles, paintings, colors, designs are are just stunning.

A lovely house, these are the kinds of places i like to see, lived in and honest and grown over time. I laughed at the talk of artists throwing things on the bonfire or down a well, its so typical! 😂 This is why collectors are important, someone has to stop us using that old rubbish to light the fire (what I used to do with mine)!

I noticed it a long time ago. I am 0% creative. But I was always drawn to artistic “stuff” and creative people. Where I would see something beautiful and untouchable, my creative friends would see an opportunity to destroy and create something different. I’m so jealous of that quality.

@3:19 It feels so heartwarming to see what she did there and her general perspective on life, basically. My tenant just do quite the same thing; when their family moved out, instead of erase the whole design thing, I just lighten the dark blue wall with a half arch in lilac color. It is an addition and you are able to see the dark blue; though it was a bit dilapidated. And, on a correspond side of it I diagonally draw geometric flash-sign - applying white, to give far more light guess to the space ie on lower part of other wall; so you have that 'sorta flash jagged' pattern as divider - rather than one smooth diagonal line. It went up to the ceiling. It makes the space looks funky. By doing this, the next tenant, do not have to buy cheap sticker or wallpaper coz these are all figured out. The work of previous tenant is not as perfect as it could have been; but I adore the ideas and I just tidying up the line with masks and tape work... Including put second layer of the same color since I know paint is expensive. They diluted the pigment which made me a bit sad on the mediocre job, to be frank. But I see the potential - I just embrace the moment. It turns out, as decent design. Overall, I love their creativity

Absolutely living the artist’s life. Beautiful woman!

Pauline Caulfield has a beautiful home. It is sooo her. She is such a talented textile designer. I cannot believe she rented this home for 48 years!!!! OMG!!!! This home is the perfect home for her and I love it!!!!

This is how I want to live!! I totally identify with that--- "If I can get any work out of myself at all..." lol and the whole "oh well then you've forgotten your scissors..."

I love this! So much character and care in every corner!

The light is fantastic, and I love the garden.

WOW! What an amazing place, and space, to live and work. Plus the garden, ..lovely! And such a calm and interesting / interested lady! And all the amazing artwork and stories to them, didn't expect to be that amazed...

OMG, the washing area. That was one of the first things hit me when I first moved to London. Back in my homeland we wash the clothes outside. Washing machine everything is kept outside. Then one cine to Europe and there are hardly any country with that. I still moan about the matter after almost 20 years living in this part of the world.

The screens for screenwriting need to be scrubbed - gently - but scrubbed to remove.all traces of colour and blocking. I have a shower over the bath so that works for me. At college we had a huge unit with a pressure washer, the same shape as my bath alcove. Her giant screen could only go into its own custom unit or outside. I'm sure it's not a fun job on a cold day.

It was a gorgeous spacious house and the garden is exquisite.
