It would really cool like the websites were you got the wallpapers and suchâŠyouâre doing a great job at interior designing đ«¶đ»đ«¶đ»
Yes! Wallpaper source pleeeeeeze! â€ïž

More definitive proof Karolina is a time traveler
Good catch!
Good one! SPOTTED!!!

You will find that home ownership is just one damned thing after another. You buy kitchen cabinets, but they don't fit. You can't get the sink you want. It's always something. But when it's all said and done, it's YOUR home. You get to decide what to do -- instead of having a landlord decide. Yeah, you have to make compromises, but home ownership is worth it.
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 đ©
@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.
Video idea: Karolina buys some antique cook books and learns how to cook some Victorian meals in her new kitchen!
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.
My dad was also the genre of dad who could whip up three pieces of furniture and fix your lighting before lunchtime. Treasure him :)
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 didnât teach me. He said, âWe thought youâd marry well.â đłđłđ„Ž
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 Oooooofffffff
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 In a weird twisted way that is a really sweet reply âș
*kind of dad
Also itâs so wholesome
I hope you know how utterly refreshing it is to see someone decorate their home in anything other than the beige/gray aesthetic that is common right now! Your home reminds me of my friend Jill's old place and just makes me feel cozy.
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!
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I watch Karolina Zebrowska videos on company time.
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.
đ€đđŒđđŒđđŒ
LMAO i am watching this at work too
lol saame, you guys
Karolina:
* doesn't have a spatula for frying *
* buys mixing bowls she will never use *
One thing I've learned in life, Karolina: it's VERY rare to find walls that are sufficiently straight or that meet at exactly 90Âș angles.
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 â
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!
Your dad is a gem. Your botanical prints look great, too.
Her dad is proud.
Have him sign some of his work in a secret spot. đ„°
I just find it pleasant to watch someone renovate an apartment they actually intend to live in. Rather than someone rich who's gonna rent it out anyway.
Let's appreciate dads and the amazing things they do. Way to go Karolina's Papa!!
Are there other great dads out there? I thought Karolinaâs dad was an exception.
I genuinely want to regain trust in dads, I never had any potitive experience in that area âŠ
@@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 đ đ
The 30's isn't my personal preferred interior design era, but I LIVE for how ham you're going with the theming of your flat. It's IMPECCABLE, 11/10
It must be tricky to shoot and edit while shifting into a new house. Youâre doing a great job so far!
"They were so cute, there was a dog." Nuff said.
Massive props to her dad for helping so much with his daughter's dream home â€
My dad wasn't around any longer by the time I bought my first home, so seeing your dad helping you is filling me with so much joy. I know mine would have done the same. đ
The fact that karolina managed to get egg stick to the new non stick pan đđ
And that, having poured oil in the pan first. đđ„°đ
Dont panic about the base boards! As they get secured to the wall they will flex and you wont be able to tell. (Went through this during my house remodel)
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.
I love this series †I love that everything is not "on trend" or flashy but completly your own! I too love the smell of old furniture and old books!
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 đ 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 đ
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 :)
Thank goodness for Dads and Moms who help us with our projects! (Among many other things). I have many happy memories of projects done with them, either at their homes or my own. Your skill level will continually increase as you work on your new property, itâs challenging, but fun and very satisfying.
For your wrinkled curtains, hereâs what you can do: hang them up, as fully extended (closed, to reveal as much fabric) as possible, then use a clean household spray bottle and the hottest possible tap water to spray them lightly but thoroughly. Hold the spray bottle nozzle really close to the fabric so that the water doesnât cool down as much (it will cool down somewhat anyway). Gently pull downward on the curtains by the hems several times, and the wrinkles will gradually fall out as they dry. (You might want to put a towel underneath, to protect your floors while spraying). I discovered this out of laziness, I have both an iron and a commercial steamer, and it works just as well on most clothes, too, unless a very crisp finish, like on a âclassic linen shirtâ is desired. The sprayed items not be perfect, but they will look much, much better than with the packing and shipping creases. Wrinkle-releasing sprays are a waste of money, theyâre mostly water with a little fabric softener added, you could do that, too. Your hand might get tired by all the trigger-squeezing for the sprayer, I alternate hands if I have a lot to do!
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 âș
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
this is my favorite series, i kinda hope it never ends, but also cannot wait to see the end result!:)
These updates are so fun and soooo real. Hurrah for your dad! He's a real champion, even when his daughter is indiscriminately squishing him into walls.
I'm so impressed that you managed to get eggs to stick to a brand new nonstick pan đ I don't even use a spatula anymore; as long as I have enough butter in the pan, they just slide around and I can flip them in the air. (This is not me bragging, just being lazy about dirtying a spatula)
[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 â€
The green rolling pin is so nostalgic to me because my great grandma has almost the exact same pin and we're still using it in the family đ„č
Also I met a polish person the other day and asked them on the off chance if they watched you and they did so we had a lovely little chat and were just excited over your apartment. Just wanted to say thank you for bringing two total strangers together even if just in a little way đ
thatâs so cute!

The apartment looks amazing.
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.
yo shouts out to your dad. you're so lucky to have a father that's so supportive and helpful. he clearly loves you and that's awesome to see.
Recovering the dining chairs is very simple. Turn them upside down. Unscrew the seat pads. Remove the old fabric. Staple the new fabric onto the chair pads. Screw the newly covered pads back onto the chair. Voila!
Girl, paint the table. It is yours now. You can paint the internal squares that are an odd color and the wood surrounding will still be beautiful, especially if you restore the wood a bit. Also, that wall paper in the cupboard looks great! And ahh that green in the kitchen looked so gooood. Looking forward to all of it coming together. You are working so hard!
My parents had the exact same table growing up. I think the insets are leather and could probably be stained
5:56 do you want your eggs fried or scrambled?
Karolina: yes
(Edit: wood is very flexible so the baseboard situation *will* be okay! Youâre doing amazing work!)
It's gorgeous. There's something about a place where the owner makes all the design choices and lovingly gets the best out of a house. It's the fact that so much of the person who lives there is embodied within all the nuances. My home is like that. I always said that I don't want a grand home, just a little jewel of a house. This is what you have here, a little jewel. You'll be so happy here.

Shout out to your dad! He's so sweet, talented and helpful. Can't wait to see your flat when it's finished, I love this series đ
Dear Karolina, I'm going through a difficult situation lately, but your videos always cheer me up. Thank you đ
Nie ma to jak polski tata-majsterkowicz! Mieszkanie wyglada pieknie. đ
Everything is coming together nicely, Karolina! It's remarkable how far the flat has come since the beginning, and the tour is quite entertaining. You're probably okay, but be careful about buying second-hand upholstered furniture; it can sometimes have bedbugs, and you don't want that nightmare.
I've heard (depending on the area) it can also bring in roaches or any number of other pests đ€ź 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 đ„Ž
This is looking INCREDIBLE!! It's like one of those well-maintained museums that are actually some important figure's appartment, but you're ACTUALLY LIVING IN IT!!! What a dream house!
As a carpenter I can say that your dad knows what's up. He must've done one or two refurbishments
he used to make furniture among other things!
I'm living vicariously through your apartment videos, I would love to have antique furniture someday, but I'm currently renting a room and living with roommates, so it's not an option for now.
Can I just say I LOVED the built-in? As soon as you showed it, I thought "wallpaper! This needs wallpaper!" And you used it, and it turned out SO good! You're doing a great job, can't wait to see the final results!
Hahaha, I mean, you DID two layers of paint. Previously. That counts. đ
Love the final green. I had the exact same problem with painting a room greenâŠit is a surprisingly difficult color. And I also love that you used your left over wallpaper to line the cupboard! What a beautiful detail. đ
It helps if you can differentiate between WARM and COOL greens ; they are different and shouldnât 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!
HOoRaY for Dads. Super sweet he was able to help you. Everything is looking good.
I love that you show how things progress over time and how renovating a place takes time and progress isn't always linear (like with the paint after the window sills were installed). You're doing an awesome job and I'm excited to see the next adventure.
Love how your new flat has such a character on its own, it looks almost like from another era, but still somewhat modern. For me it's the mirror over the chimney, your whole living room seems so cozy. Great job!
Long live all dads that help their daughters put their flat stuff and furniture together :D
My mom had a rolling pin like that but the handles were red instead of green. I miss my mom, and now my dad too.
Beautifully decorated flat!
Oh my goodness, dear girl, I love your place! Itâs just beautiful and charming and quirky and cozy! The colors are grand, and that toilet area - wow. Your dad is an angel and it just warms my heart to see him helping you! (Those windowsills are gorgeous!) A huge undertaking, and a very successful one! You are doing your 1930âs home proud!
Also, your dad needs a really super Father's Day gift! He really did help make this dream into reality!
I can relate to Karolina burning the eggs into the pan. I know how to cook and I do it well but maaaan people assume I'm just naturally good at it, I'm not. When I started cooking I almost burned the house down 8 different times... And by cooking I literally just mean heating things up like precut french fries. We all start somewhere, I just happened to start in my early teens.
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.
This was so much fun! It was as if you invited friends to your flat for a tour. Thanks for the info on the coffee table in the living room. My grandmother had leather-topped tables all over her house. She never mentione when she acquired them so I never knew which decade they reflec5ed. In the USA, I think they also were popular in the 1950s. You always manage to get so much information into every video. It's a pleasure to watch.
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.
Your dad looks so much like mine! When I moved into my own apartment, he helped me do everything, from putting furniture together to painting the walls. I will forever be grateful to him for that.
Your dad is such a good father for always helping you outâ€â€.
Yesss Iâve been so invested in this series! I love your interior design so much, vintage inspired houses are just gorgeousđđđ
This is so fun to get to see! How wonderful to have such a supportive and skilled Father! Mine is a lot like him, and helps me fix things for my house. I love how you use greens, and all this beautiful vintage furniture. I just love seeing how artistic people put together a home space.
Your dad seems like the nicest dad in the world!
It's coming together so nicely! I was so impressed by the fridge installation and the kitchen in general - it's so beautiful. It was a bit difficult to see the vision for the layout because of all of the changes that needed to be made, but it's starting to make more sense to me. I am looking forward to the next update :D
I love literally everything about the apartment, and your dad seems like a really sweet man helping you with a lot đ
ok but that breakfast reveal montage was epicccc
Your flat is really coming together. So lovely. You have curated all your furniture and decor so thoughtfully. Canât wait for the final reveal!
yoooo the tiny sink in the toilet room is amazing. It's such a tiny space but I love how you put it together, it makes such good use of the space, and the tile and colors are fantastic!
Your dad is amazing, this warmed my heart so much. Also I'm in love with your apartment!
I know what you mean about the smell of wood (one of the secondary ancient elements, you know)! My dad, and his dad before him, and his dad before *him*, all did woodworking, though Dad only did it as an avocation. But the smell of freshly-cut or -sanded wood...it's wonderful!
Those armchairs and the cupboard are GORGEOUS, literally my dream style. I need you to buy a second home soon so I can watch you furnish that too
your dad is a wonder! i was suspicious of that coffee table, i have leather inlaid tables and that color looked off. love your new vanity. love your new armchairs. the new rug really does bring the colors together! you did SO much.
OglÄ danie jak urzÄ dzasz swoje mieszkanie jest bardzo ekscytujÄ ce! O wiele bardziej niĆŒ inne wnÄtrzarskie programy/filmiki. TwĂłj styl jest niesamowicie unikalny :) masz talent do robienia galerii na Ćcianach - grafiki dobrane sÄ idealnie :) pozdrowienia dla super taty!
Your flat is coming along so nicely! It looks really lovely :3 I like how it has so much character and looks like "your" place and not generic at all.
The blue and white bathroom is my favourite. I also love that you are hunting for antique furniture.
When I was a teenager still living with my mom, my bedroom was a very similar shade of green! And I also decorated it with antiques and old paintings! Although my room was a bit more Baroque than it was 1930s :) Love it so far, you've (and your father as well) done a great job!
Karolina, the flat is turning into a beautiful abode! Well done, you!
It's looking pretty great. I know it can be a pain sometimes, but not renting and being beholden to someone else is amazing.
I love this series so much! I've recently moved in with my boyfriend into a really old-styled apartment with big windows and high ceilings. Since we're renting and can't do everything we want with the apartment, I love to see you fulfilling your visions with all these beautiful tapestries and colours! Also I really relate to your crooked wall problem, every single thing here is crooked and sometimes you start to get frustrated about it. but in the end, you fall in love even more, because it's a sign of the apartment's old age â€ïž
I feel so much better watching your renovations! Iâm also an indecisive perfectionist, and itâs taking me a long time to complete decorating my home, too!
Karolina, you can get flexible skirting boards. Might be easier with your difficult walls.
I love it how your dad helps you so much with your apartment. He deserves our appreciation đ€â„ïžđ„° loads of greetings and good vibes from The Netherlands.
Your father reminds me so much of my own father. Up for a challenge, creative, helpful, quick with a laugh at the absurd, and a solid wood worker. â€â€â€
Love seeing the changes and how it slowly transforms into a home but also a work of art. Love love your bedroom furniture and that long curtain. The idea to put the fridge on top of the laundry is inspired!
Your kitchen looks so gorgeous! It's so satisfying to watch your apartment be brought back to life
This apartment is going to feel like being inside a vintage jewellery box when it's done. đ„°
For next time, I recommend removing all the scraps of paper and glue residue attached to the surfaces first. Itâs easy, just spray (or soak with a big sponge) with the hottest tap water, then it can be scraped off with a plastic scraper. Then, I would use one of those plastic scrubber sponges for dishes (not the metal ones) to scrub off any glue residue. Then, I would paint on a layer of primer/wallpaper sizer. I love the Z-Prime brand we have here in the US, itâs expensive, but worth it. A really clean surface is important for any finishing technique, painting or wallpapering. Your new flat is looking beautiful!
I don't usually comment on youtube but i really wanted to say that you're very very cool, your sense of style for decor and clothing is so unique and personal and i admire you for it! Also, you look just like my older sister and because of this i can't help but be all smiley and warmly happy watching your videos ^^
I have to say it's coming together really nicely. You should be immensely proud of your achievements.
Your flat is turning into a lovely home! Love the mix of vintage with modern items style :)
ugh, this is literally my favorite series on youtube
Your dad is amazing and sweet! Please let him know his skills and care are appreciated.
Oh, and that egg was still edible, so it is a win.
i get more obsessed with this flat with every update
Ćo matko, Pani! Tylko nie widelcem po teflonie!
(don't use metal utensils on your non-stick pans, kids)
Sama jesteĆ poteflon!
@@cailinscath finally, someone who understands!!! XD
19:10 You could dust the green with gold powder it would look so nice with that. The flat is getting its soul back, very comfy looking.
We love a handy dad. Your dad is adorable
Somehow, because it isn't the norm for 1960s houses where I am, the walls in my house have a plaster skim coat. Which, don't get me wrong, makes for a really nice finish, but also means next to no hanging anything without cracking it, or accidentally taking off chunks of the plaster. Love the chairs in the main sitting area, and everything else looks to be coming along nicely!
Edit: I do wish I had real size windows, and proper windowsills, the ones your father built are truly lovely
im obsessed with this series. watching it come together is so satisfying. i love how you have a strong sense of your style that you're using to create the perfect space for yourself. also seems like such a fun activity to do with ur dad :)
I am so invested in this renovation, not gonna lie.
I'm watching this while packing out some of my leftover boxes because I too just bought my own flat 3 month ago :') Mine is just a concrete panel building flat from the 80's communist era, but it's mine and I love it, just as I love yours!
I just love flat updates, makes me inspired to sort out my flat. Still gave a very thin wallpaper strip to put on but I've been putting it off for months....
Everything is coming out so cute!
Also that coffee table really looks antique anyways :O
I live in Cornwall, UK and there isn't a single wall in my house that is straight. Some of the walls are 1m thick and made of granite so it is nearly impossible to hang anything on them.
Wow granite! Not even with an impact drill?
Regarding hanging things on walls you can order online hooks called Command hooks. They are transparent and removable and leave no residual stickiness and do not harm the surface of the walls either. And they are rated by how much weight they will hold. I have used them on my outdoor patio cover and so far they have lasted 5 years. No drilling or hammering of nails both of which damage the walls.
I think I love these apartment renovation vids because they scratch that part of my brain of reno videos, design videos and my incredibly nosy desire to see peoples houses. Also the wall sconces are *chefs kiss* with that mirror.
Way to go dad! Great work on the window seals and especially in the fridge!
Karolina look into Command Strips for hanging items on your walls. No drilling required and they come in varying weight capacities. Really have enjoyed your journey
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 đ€·đœââïž
@@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.
Girl- IMMACULATE taste, your kitchen looks so good and usable, the toilet glowup, the entryway, THE DAMN ARMCHAIRS???? IM FEELING TOTALLY NORMAL ABOUT THEM, JUST COMPLETELY FINE
Holy shit we used to have a hen like the one at 22:18 in my childhood home and it never dawned on me that you're supposed to put eggs in there! We just put random stuff in ours, like pens and rubber bands.
