I'd love to know more about when you were in the start-up phase and had to get clients and how you did advertising etc

Yes! I’m thinking of starting a new career at the age of 20 as a interior designer.. it’s scary to think of investing so much money into a course.. when I’m not 100% about it !!
That ending quote is just what I needed before my final Thanks Professor Bohn

Won't be the same when you're working in real life.
Karen! Do you ever have "crazy" clients, and how do you handle that?? Can you please do an episode about this?
This has been one of your best videos by far about the amount effort that is put into a successful business, team, project and work ethic. So glad you go into depth about the real life of being a business owner, interior designer, creating a brand and being a true inspiration! You are truly one of a kind 💕
I am only midway through the video, but I believe it is important to note, when you do what you love, it is much easier to put in the long hours and go the extra mile. Go hard with anything and everything that you do, yes, but when it's your passion, the going hard hits your spirit different. When you are putting in long hours for a business or company, where the work is outside the scope of what you love, the tasks and long hours become tiring and draining. If this is you, have a plan to transition and do not forget your end game, your goal! Although K looks tired (no shade), she is loving every minute of it, good or bad. xoxo
Not only are you a role model for me, I honestly feel like you're my online mentor. I work in accounting and your messaging about hard work hit home with me. Also love the affirmation at the end. Thank you for sharing with us 💗
I rewatched many times for the pep talk at the end. You have no idea how you continue to inspire other creative professionals.
I have been searching through almost all the interior design channels to find the perfect one, that not only teaches me how to select the right furniture and furnishings but also shows me the way to interact and meet the needs of the client. You are doing something different from all the channels with multi-million subscribers. Thankyou so much for being an inspiration to aspiring designers like myself. ❤️
"it's so ugly that it looks good"! I said that to my work colleague on Tuesday while browsing through our huge collection of second-hand items! Crazy! and after seeing this being said in the video, I was IN! Completely SUBSCRIBED to #KarinBohn videos and design ideas... Pick something "unusual", "old" or "ugly" and turn it into that "aha" or "wow" reaction, and you have ART, CREATIVITY and INSPIRATION working to their fullest! - the same goes with clothes ;) get wild!
That end quote is just what I needed to hear! I now feel like I am ready to conquer the day.
I’m switching careers to ID & you give me hope that I can make it work with a lot of hard work and persistence. I’ve been working hard in an industry I got into just to climb the Corp ladder and I’m no longer happy but I’m so passionate about creativity and design & cant wait for the transition

I love how real Karin keeps it. Also, what amazing clients to allow us to peek inside their meeting.
I’ve missed your videos! It’s been a minute 😭❤️ love you Karin!
Thank you again Karin and crew! Good stuff!
I love these vlogs! I love watching behind the scenes or a real life boss who puts in the work herself too! Its amazing! thanks for sharing!
Karin thank you so much for those words at the end, you don’t know how much I needed to hear that at the moment! Keep up the great work!
I love your genuineness and the ability to point out the realities on owning an interior design business. It's your content that got me following you on KZread. Keep it coming. You do great.💞
your posts are sooo worth the wait!!! thank you for the consistent inspiration/motivation and dedication to your craft.....AND your fabulous fashion :).
That end quote!!! WoW! 😍
I love your positivity! I love your work ethic! ❤️ every time I watch something from your KZread channel, it makes me want to work on my business. My inner entrepreneur vibe is itching to come out!
Hard work pays off!!! Thanks for being my motivation. Thank you so much Karin.😊😊😊😊
oh my oh my did i ever need that little pep chat at the end - I'm working so hard to create my ID firm out the clear blue.. I'm knocking on doors and sending out those big messages to the universe...wave after wave of getting back up and doing it every day, and praying for that one that's going to pay the rent ... thanks for bringing us along with you, we are a collective and amazing community, to bring light, love and beautiful interiors to the world...!
This is the vlog that I've been wanting to see to inspire me to always be at my best. Thank you thank you Karin. 🤗
Love the quotes you put in the video! So inspiring! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Karin! Thanks for another amazing video. Your videos are always the best way to start my week. You're so motivating and inspiring and a joy to watch. Keep the great content coming! Oscar was so adorable in this video as always.
What an affirmation! Brought me to tears, thank you 😘
Thank you Karin. You always bring that in depth content. Really appreciate that. Sending love all the way from South Africa 😘
You’re such a great role model! Love your content, love your vision, your channel and just everything. Thank you for sharing your life with us week in and week out ❤️
Awww I LOVE the ending quote. YAASSSS! Thank you Karin and Diane!
You are so encouraging & composed. I definitely look up to you so much!!
The quote in the end was really what I needed to hear. I was having anxiety over being smart enough to become a interior designer or an architect but after hearing that from one of my biggest interior design role models I just started feeling relief! Thank you so much 😊❤️
the last quote so meaningful, i love it
Thank you for all you wise words. You are a great role model to follow!!!! Much blessings
Hi Karin, I looooove to see your management style. I've incorporated the way you communicate with your staff and while it's tough managing different personalities, I love the balance of energy and professionalism you bring to your team. I love your day to day videos in your office, please show more. #modaymoringmeetings
Wow. Didn’t know how much I needed to hear that ending quote until I started crying. Thanks Karen, again, for an awesome video. ❤️
You’re so right - there really isn’t enough examples of hardworking people out there on the internet, that aren’t social media stars. I imagine because hard workers are busy working and that’s why they’re not making videos; so thank you. Thank you for taking the extra time to show this interesting and rewarding industry. You deserve all the success!

Awe. You’re so sweet for acknowledging all the hard work that goes into this. I’m so happy that you like my channel. Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️😘
Thank you! I love your energy, integrity, and natural delivery.
Thank you for all the inspiration and honesty. Best regards from Portugal!
I feel like you spoke directly to me in that last statement! I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling that way! Thanks!
Loved this one! 17:28 minutes of inspiration ❤️ Thank you so much, Karin and team of House of Bohn!
Love how natural, comfortable, informative & encouraging your videos are. Love your voice & presence In KZread too!
I was so excited when you talked about the project with Moroccan influences yaay!! I am an avid fan of your work and lifestyle!! Lots of love from Morocco
You are such an inspiration. Thank you Karin.
You are so inspiring Karin. Every time I watch your videos I feel like I have taken a breath of fresh air💞
love every element you outlined as important in a role model
Love and miss these kind of blogs
Thank you for that added encouragement at the end. That was beautiful.
Thank you so much for that ending message. I literally just cried
As an interior architect you don't how much I learn from you!! Thank you Karin 😍
I love your style and your distinctive pickiness. And for sure you are a great role model. xoxo Alexandra
Thank you for the ending of the video, I needed to hear this today. You are amazing.
Watching your videos lately and the quote at the end of this video has encouraged me to go back to school and pursue my dream of becoming an ID . Thank you so much! This is the push i needed! ❤️
As an interior design student from Morocco, you truly are an inspiration to me and to how I would like to work after my degree. Great work ethics and innovative ideas are the core. Keep up the great work, old fan in here!
This video was put together very well. There aren't too many designers on KZread showing the process the way you are. Keep it up.
Yasssss!!!! Love this 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. Goals 💫💫💫
My fav video! The ending quote was my fav. I can’t wait for you guys to move into the new space. Your vids are so inspirational, you really are the best role model. I’m not even into interior design but what you teach goes far beyond that! I love your work ethic & employees and how calm you are. You have so many qualities that I admire and want to implement in my life. Thank you! I always leave so excited for next weeks vid lol
Your videos are such a breath of fresh air. I am pursuing a new business venture with my husband (I am a teacher!) and sometimes it’s scary but I also know that hard work pays off. Thank you for all the inspiration. x
Thank you for making an amazing video, you really inspired and encourage us to be an interior designer or an architect. Being in this field is really really hard especially if your a woman, a year ago i was ready to give up and try another field. But when i saw your videos by chance in youtube and watch it, it somehow gave me encouragement and i felt like "i can do this " and i hope so too. I don't even know how to express myself anymore but thank you for the amazing video.
Loved the quote, the projects you are working on and the outfits of course! Big hug from San Francisco
14:45 Is literally my humor. Not sure if you were trying to be funny but that is the definition of my humor/my kind of jokes 100%
The very first time i saw your vid about how to become a interior designer, i am already hooked by your channel..thanks that there is someone like you whose willing to give inspiration to others and showing love for the craft...new subscriber here...
Karin, thank you for being so positive and open. I like you so much and I am trying not to be jealous but learn and be inspired.
Glad you said that! Very important part of design.None of my design teachers ever said that.
You are so darling! Strong, SMART and yet such a sensitive empath. Creative like none other. A true genuine authentic human being. Keep up the great work!
You are probably the most amazing person that I watch. I love how you don’t let the late nights and the hard work get to you, and you still remain to work hard, and have a life, and you are still a beautiful, goofy and just all around genuine person. I love it.
Hi Karin I really love your videos. There's other career based videos that are just superficial. But yours goes so in depth with the things you deal with and the situations that arise. Also, I love how you bring the camera into the office and in meetings and it just gives a really dynamic sense of what's going on.
This is my first comment ever on KZread! Karin, you are my favorite Business-KZreadr. You inspire me so much. I always watch your new video on Mondays to get motivated for the day and the rest of the week! Thank you so much and I wish you and your team the best for your futures and careers! Kind regards from Germany!
Best video ever!! Thank you Karin. Truly inspiring!
odusevljena sam vasim radom ,pozdrav iz beograda,slicne poslove radim i ja naravno ne u tolikoj meri uspesno kao vi.
Been waiting impatiently..finally new video 🥰
Like the motivation quote you say at the ending....... it’s a fuel to my burn out life. I just wish I could have more people around me to “speak” interior design to me......
My 11 year old is thinking about fashion, makeup and design as a career. Lately she's been leaning toward design and your series has opened up a whole new avenue of learning, for both of us. Thank you!
Great video! I'm a senior Interior Designer looking to branch out on my own. This video excited me to keep pushing towards my dream! 😊
I'm so grateful! I even didn't realize how much I need all your words write now!Thanx for motivating me every single time.)and I'm saying you (hi) from Lviv.Ukraine💛
Karin, I'm going in for my first interior design internship interview in a few weeks and I decided to watch your videos to get prepared. You are such a huge motivator for me, every time I watch your videos I feel like I can conquer anything and reach my goals!
This video was amazing. I definitely look up to you as I begin to grow in my design career and life. I appreciate these videos.
Most inspirational interior designer on KZread 🙌🏼🙌🏼
You inspire us to grow and keep putting in the long hours! Watching how you still grind to make your business better makes us feel excited to work hard!! Thank you for your words at the end of this video! So beautiful and so powerful -- The world needs more Karin Bohns!! We love you!! 💓💓
I don't know why I'm crying for the opening. Lots of hard work behind all the glamorous scenes! I know that you love and enjoy your work! Thank you always for inspirations.
New video...YAY!!!! Now I get to start my day right :D
After watching some of your videos, it motivates me to become a successful Interior designer like you. God Bless always and continue enjoying your passion in life ♥
I love you. Love that you are brilliant at what you do. Love that you have worked hard to be here. Love the whole you.
So glad I found your KZread. I'm pursuing a career in Architecture/Interior Design without college, because I can't afford it, and trying to "think" and "be" those roles is a high practice, always on my mind. I'm glad I can view your hard work, and disciplinary, harmonizing love.
I love the office environment with all the material samples on the rack. And one thing I like is the management of time and daily schedules. Last but not the least, the vlog is really awesome. It's kind of documentation of day to day activities in the life of designers.
Your work is fabulous and you have the most amazing shoes!
I almost teared up at the end of the blog😩Thank you, Karin.
Thank you sharing your experience! Your ending quote gave me such a spark. I'm currently in the transition of moving from Japan as a Designer back to Canada, in hopes of pushing my career further in Interior Design. I'll definitely keep watching your videos, and who knows. Maybe I'll take a trip from Toronto to Vancouver to see what exciting things you have going on in the west coast. Keep posting, keep sharing, you know this but you're amazing 👍
Nice to see a cohesive team and inspiration! Keep rolling!
This vlog really speaks to me. It’s been a long time coming for my career in interior design to start and now it has finally started to happen for me. Your ending quote is really encouraging, this is exactly what I need to hear right now. Because you are so right! It takes long hours and ultimately to never give up, no matter how hard it gets. Thank you so much for that!
The ending make me cry. Wow
loved it ❤️❤️ you are amazinggg.. so is your team
OMG! My comment made it to the video 🎉 I'm really happy that you remembered it even though it was some time ago. When I was at the time at school where I had to start deciding what I wanted to study I was struggling really hard. I had some ideas but I didn't feel that I would be happy in this field. So I'm really grateful that I bumped into your channel and that I could see the life from the perspective of an interior designer. Now, I'm getting closer and closer to starting in October my interior design course. Who knows, maybe one day we will meet and then I will thank you personally.💖
I have waited all my life for this. Haha. Missed you, Karin. As always, loved the content for today. One day I'll have my own youtube channel and I will never forget to mention how you've been such an inspiration to me. ❤❤❤ Hoping you can share your design workflow, from introductory meetings with client down to wrapping up the construction and turning over to the Client. That would be very exciting for me since I am into design and construction right now. ❤❤❤ All the love from the Philippines. Xoxo. 🇵🇭
Thank you very much, you are helping out a lot 🙏🏼
You gonna be an amazing mum!!! 💜🧡💛💚
You are amazing in every way.
I look forward to each anf every video omgeee
You are amazing!!!
I love Moroccan Style I can't wait to see your interpretation of it
