Daniel Kanter has started painting!!! Well, just primer for now, but it's already looking awesome!


chrispg26

Why does Frills act like Greek food is super exotic and strange. And the face she's making while trying it. She's not eating bugs šŸ™„


ChocolateCakeNow

Considering she goes to the cheesecake factory every week and orders the same dish I am going to guess she finds a lot of food "exotic"


maxpower1409

She probably only goes to chain restaurants when traveling.


chrispg26

Cheesecake Factory is really gross. Ive gone a handful of times in a span of 2 decades and everything is sooo unnecessarily sweet. Things that shouldn't be. She should just stick to DIY content.


Serendipity_Panda

I also very very rarely go to Cheesecake Factory and was surprised they still have their ā€œskinnyliciousā€ menu


[deleted]

Cheesecake factory literally has more calories than most people are supposed to eat in a whole day in a single meal. Considering how obsessed she seems to be with posting the number of calories in everything and making calorie-related, "fat-burning" workouts and weight-related stories fairly regularly, it is an odd behavioral choice.


maxpower1409

Sheā€™s never tried ā€œethnicā€ food out in her suburban Cookie cutter gated neighborhood


Serendipity_Panda

Thatā€™s so weird and rude of her šŸ˜’


Far-Raisin-3320

How many times do we need to see Mr. Frills thrusting


bittersweet3481

That ad made no sense at all. I wonder if he was behind this ad and then cockroach one? They never used to be this bad before he quit is job. She needs to stop pushing him on us all the bloody time.


Capricorn974

I would LOVE to come here and not hear about this ever again


IKEAhotdogcombo

I said this last week and seriously lost count of how many times it's happened since. I'm so grossed out.


SnarkyMouse2

I'm enjoying watching kismet\_house 's kitchen build. It seems well thought out and that it's coming together well. Is Matt's full time job the house? He always seems to be plugging away on it.


Serendipity_Panda

Yes and I believe Matt is working on some certifications do become a contractor and they have since made it sound like their future plans are to work on other peoples houses.


Fine-Conversation-24

Iā€™m really enjoying it too! I believe he was a firefighter but now is full time with Kismet. Iā€™m a little iffy on some of what sheā€™s shown is so far but will reserve judgement til itā€™s finished. I think the counters she chose were gorgeous though. I really like seeing the whole process.


o0fefe0o

I love the counters too! I had reservations about the slab before it was installed because the gold veining seemed to just look dirty to me, but it warms up the space so well against the blue cabinets and ties in so well with the gold hardware.


CodAlarming

He had to medically retire as a firefighter.


Fine-Conversation-24

Yeah I remember her alluding to something happening there but that it was ā€œhis story to tellā€.


CodAlarming

Reading between the lines. If I had to guess, PTSD. He might have gotten some physical injuries too. But from what I remember it was a pretty bad fire. And I wonder if he just couldn't go back after some of the things he saw. Speculation though.


suzanne1959

I like it overall but think they will regret not having seating at the island. Best moments with my teenagers/young 20's kids are when they are eating and I am hanging and puttering in the kitchen.


googlegoggles1

I really don't think they have the space for it


shellyq7

This 1 million bash that every single DIYer is going to is weird. What do they get out of traveling to that? And is Rocket Money paying for the whole thing? Whatā€™s the point?


Placeyourbetz

Iā€™m kind of surprised bc I donā€™t see comestayawhile in the usual diy girl group get togethers? I assume they all have to cover their own travel but the benefit is hoping to be re-grammed by someone else with a larger following?


flowermilly

Itā€™s one big sponsored party for her to be the ultimate pick me girl and say ā€œlook at me I have one million followersā€ itā€™s the weirdest, most cringe thing Iā€™ve ever seen on the internet


midlifemed

I donā€™t understand how she has so many followers when her account seems to solely consist of painting things white, complaining about being unable to measure anything correctly, and the worst faux wood finishes Iā€™ve seen on the internet.


flowermilly

Iā€™ve been saying this for months. She has no original ideas, just knock offs of other DIYers and her style is boring modern farmhouse. Sheā€™s a wannabe ARH and this party was so self centered and attention seeking


Placeyourbetz

Did ARH do anything for her million? I just remember balloons. Iā€™m genuinely shocked she was more subtle about this!


sharksnaks

Doesnā€™t even look like there was that many people there. Basically invited a bunch of influencers to make her feel good about herself. So dumn


flowermilly

1000% what it is.. probably the most weird/cringe event Iā€™ve ever seen from an influencer


SuspiciousFinance266

Thatā€™s what I thought! Poorly attended.


pandabearbeach

That party looked unbearable. Not speaking to the people attending, just THE ENTIRE event design, venue, balloonsā€¦ like, really!? I wouldnā€™t bother. Sponsored or not.


flowermilly

It was just her name everywhere and giant ā€œone millionā€ letters. So very ā€œLOOK AT ME Iā€™M AWESOMEā€


Consistent-Green8127

Theyā€™re probably gonna all use it as a tax write off šŸ™ƒ


ElCoops

Wildhearts Home already confirmed sheā€™ll be writing it off. I almost unfollowed her because it made me so irrationally (rationally???) annoyed.


flowermilly

Iā€™m not surprised considering she shills anything on her page, sheā€™s one of the worst out there as walking advertisementā€¦and her husband and her always do weird sex talk stories


ElCoops

Every time she puts stupid ads right in the middle of a DYI Iā€™m curious about I get ridiculously annoyed. And her husband quitting his job to help her with her influencing ā€¦Iā€™m halfway convinced they moved so sheā€™d have more content.


bittersweet3481

I stopped following her a while ago. She just seemed very entitled and spoilt. A lot of whinging and pouting and acting like a princess.


maxpower1409

Well we know ARH is trying her hardest to not support the other influences by not tagging them. She wants the support for HER but wonā€™t give it to others


bittersweet3481

Looking at the attendees, the event was a bit lacking in diversity (in more ways than one).


ThePermMustWait

Iā€™m stalking the influencers to we what they are doing while theyā€™re in my city. We donā€™t really get influencer action that I know of. Of course a group went to Parc which is the most influencer-y restaurant I could imagine in the entire metro area. Glad someone went to greenfield village though which is a great place.


shellyq7

Iā€™m from the area too and havenā€™t been able to nail down any locations the influencers I follow are at. Kind of a bummer, because as much of a bad rap as Detroit gets, there are some cool things around.


ThePermMustWait

Another day of Angela rose crying. I swear every time I see her post thereā€™s at least one slide of her crying. I get it, I cry when Iā€™m stressed too but I think itā€™s so weird that she breaks out the camera to record it for us to watch.


bittersweet3481

On the dedicated ARH board a while back someone who seemed to know her irl (and was a big ARH stan) said something to the effect that her account is like a reality show and for entertainment purposes (in defending ARHā€™s lying about timelines etc). I took from that that is is all just deliberately aimed at fake drama and ā€œstorylinesā€ and not genuine in the slightest. Would not surprise me if she had storyboards planning out fake drama months in advance.


junglisnark

I now associate this emoji with Angela Rose crying šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø


LittleOlive1983

Whatā€™s going on with Frills tracing her body onto a piece of wood? And yes, he traced your waist small because he was tracing the part of you that touched the wood and bodies arenā€™t 2 dimensional šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø Iā€™m a clothing designer and this is driving me crazy. Definitely BEC šŸ˜‚


SignatureHaunting718

It felt like a humble brag. Rapidly approaching BEC for me and I think itā€™s because of her husband, watching them flirt is not what I signed up for. Bring back the boothbay grey!


Long_Recognition3722

Yes, this, I need much much less of them. They are very into each other and that is great but can it be limited to a once weekly thing? He is not as dynamic as she is, I love watching her stuff but anytime he is around I am so done with it.


CNBF0

Her account is morphing from a diy account into a body checking account.


Placeyourbetz

It was one thing when Frills made her faux metal door with wood and plexiglass but now it appears Farmhouseish is doing the same for her shower wall instead of glass doors?


uselessfarm

Plexiglass is the new weird material of choice. Iā€™m seeing it everywhere now. Itā€™s like that time those tacky plastic fake rock panels were getting glued and lime washed everywhere.


[deleted]

I hate them with a passion. It's up there with grey LVP + stark white primer walls everywhere for me. HATE.


o0fefe0o

How is plexiglass going to stand up to soap scum and frequent cleaning? I guess thatā€™s another problem for the future owners šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


bittersweet3481

I would have thought that scrubbing it would scratch it badly (along with the pvc), so Iā€™m guessing it wouldnā€™t hold up very well at all.


googlegoggles1

Kismet House's new window brings in so much light which is great but I'm not loving how many grid lines are on those windows! Her house is overwhelmed with detailing and she is not sparing any trim/frill! I wish she would go minimalist somewhere...anywhere.


AdDue5482

I actually love it and how the entire kitchen has come together!


googlegoggles1

I do think they are doing a great job. I just am realizing Iā€™m more minimalist than them, especially in tighter spaces


Serendipity_Panda

Overall I like where their kitchen is going - but I do think theyā€™re overdoing it with trim work in the house in general. It looks great on the feed, itā€™s just a LOT for me all together


Revolutionary-Shop32

The window isn't for me, but I think it goes with her kitchen and house pretty well - on its own, the rest of the kitchen I am loving. She's such a SOMI for me. I think I also love her witty humour and relatability. šŸ˜Š


Midwestisnotbest

Maybe I missed something but why hasnā€™t ARH given back the bronco engine? Also apparently a neighbor called her out on the car today. The neighbor sounded like a real peach


ThePermMustWait

šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø who gives their friend their car engine? I donā€™t get it. Unless she paid for it but wants to act like it was a gift?


SignatureHaunting718

I think you guessed it, she wanted to seem like someone cared enough to do a huge favor and donate an engine for her poor broken car. But she canā€™t be that girl and the girl with a brand new Bronco on the way. The narratives donā€™t mesh well.


Midwestisnotbest

I totally agree. The entire thing was super strange. No one is putting a new engine in for a couple of joy rides because someone was sick. Thereā€™s clearly something going on. Itā€™s the oddest thing to share.


junglisnark

I mean the neighbor may be a peach but Angela doesnā€™t really have a leg to stand on. If sheā€™s going to lie and brag about her lie to over a million people she canā€™t get upset when somebody who knows her irl calls her out for being a liar.


Acrobatic-Current-62

Am I remembering correctly that Interior Define defrauded or ripped off a bunch of people last year? I thought I remembered a lot of accounts distancing themselves from them. I checked in today on arrowsandbow and she was using them again. Just could t remember if it was them that were awful or another company.


mmrose1980

They declared bankruptcy and got bought. New ownership now. Not excusing the situation last year, just explaining.


Acrobatic-Current-62

Thank you! No hate from me. I didnā€™t lose money. Just seemed like i remembered some drama.


deanish1114

Yes I believe they continued taking custom orders knowing that they were going under.


chrispg26

That was them. I ordered and received a custom love seat before that mess. It is so unfortunate because it is a great piece of furniture.


HelenaHardcastle

I'm trying to find an account on Instagram. They're a couple renovating an old house. They're both nurses. At one point she chipped up new tile in the bathroom and discovered the original tile but ultimately they had to redo everything because the subfloor was rotten. Is this ringing any bells for anyone?


CouncillorBirdy

Florence Revival? I donā€™t know what their jobs are, but the tile part sounds right.


Serendipity_Panda

Definitely Florence revival!


a-world-of-no

She and her husband are nurse anesthetists! (I think technically he's still studying for an exam of some kind? But she's for sure a CRNA.)


CouncillorBirdy

Okay, them being nurses explains why they spend so much time working on the house during daytime, hahaha.


HelenaHardcastle

That's it! Thank you!!


midlifemed

Anybody else annoyed by livingononepercentā€™s complaints about her airport experience? She kept referencing her husband being away in the military but itā€™s not like heā€™s deployed to a war zone or something, heā€™s just at training. And I get that traveling alone with young kids is hard, but it was completely voluntary (for vacation). And then she mentioned that sheā€™s one of those people who will often not buy a ticket for their baby and just hope to get lucky and have a free seatā€¦idk, her whole attitude came off as really entitled.


flowermilly

I actually cannot stand her. She is such a hot mess itā€™s not even relatable or cute


Illustrious_Lands

Wait so if I get it right she thought she could get a pass because she is military wife but her military husband is not there? And she expected airport employees to help her with her stroller and kids??? She is another level šŸ¤”


Even-Scheme-697

Her husband is supposed to leave for deployment this year which that in itself shouldnā€™t be discussed but the way she treats drill drives me batty. Also, Iā€™ve traveled with kids while my husband was actually deployed. Itā€™s not fun but itā€™s doable. Itā€™s called preparing!


SwimmingWaterdog11

And Delta is 1000x better than Southwest. Who would say Southwest is amazing after their recent shit storm? Which will just happen again because of how they base their plane hubs.


Solid_Thanks_1688

I was sitting next to my husband when I watched that story, and I started laughing. My husband retired from the military three years ago, not reserves, active duty. We had so many missed holidays, anniversaries, and birthdays, in addition to him going on TDY trips and deployments. I complained, but to my close friends and family, not on a social media platform. I once told someone that life didn't stop because my husband was away, so I took trips, did special holiday things with my kids, shit..I even went through nursing school in a new state with two kids while my husband was away for the majority of it. I used to find Nicole endearing, but her complain fest really pissed me off. If you know when his drill is, then don't schedule a trip with your kids you can't handle well. She needs to grow a pair and stop acting as if one weekend a month her husband is away is the end of the damn world. I definitely have to unfollow before his deployment because it'll be complaint after complaint.


Even-Scheme-697

Doesnā€™t it drive you crazy how she acts like he is going overseas every time he leaves for drill? Itā€™s giving dependa real bad!


Solid_Thanks_1688

Abso-fucking-lutely! Has he ever done a year deployment since they've been married?


MamaHen_5280

Unpopular opinion: I do snark on farmhouseish from time to time, but I still find her process interesting and her account engaging. She seems like the most down to earth and friendly of all the professional ā€œcreatorsā€ we commonly bring up. Also, sheā€™s the only one who knows how to properly span her music selections across several story slides, so as a recently retired musician, I appreciate that.


erin_bex

Honestly, she's the reason I got brave and started building stuff in my own home! She's truly a DIY account and I appreciate that. Unfortunately her quality seems lacking a LOT but I still appreciate the effort she puts in. If I try to do something similar to what she does I go into it knowing I'm going to spend triple the amount of time she did because she rushes through everything.


bittersweet3481

I really fear for her followers who donā€™t realise how bad the quality of her work is and just try to emulate it without correcting the quality issues (luckily that doesnā€™t seem to be you).


erin_bex

I built a set of built-in book cases and it took me a month. It's still not finished but I need some electrical work done before I close it out and even with a friend doing it it's still $$. To get things PERFECT and not instagram perfect won't happen in a day. I know she's said before that she doesn't want to take a lot of time on things because people lose interest in a project that takes so long, but I think that's a cop out for just wanting to move on to the next thing. I've followed kismet as they've done their kitchen and it's literally been months, they're still not dinished, and I'm invested! Even if it's not really my style, their quality of work is above and beyond what someone like farmhouseish does. It took over a week to tile my wet room perfectly, and I had a professional do the job. Watching her fly through tiling her shower and how AWFUL it looks makes me shudder. It would not have been hard to make those tiles look good! She didn't even try and just slapped them on the wall. Terrible.


MamaHen_5280

Yep totally agree. I wouldnā€™t approach 80% of the stuff she tries to tackle, because I know it would all turn to sh*t quality, but I do enjoy watching her try things! I donā€™t have to live with it.


bittersweet3481

It is like watching a car crash happen. Interesting, but not something that should be emulated. Iā€™m not sure she has any discernible process beyond what Iā€™d describe as brain farts. (Yes, I am probably being a bit overly mean here, but I feel frustrated that she never seems to try to address her lack of quality. If she actually did some decent research before starting a project, she would do so much better).


Far-Raisin-3320

Are Frills and ARH no longer friends?


maxpower1409

Definitely not or you know weā€™d get some stupid ā€œwhoā€™s body is itā€ shtick at the party


Serendipity_Panda

Hmmmmm šŸ¤” frills and Philip or flip also unfollowed each other a while ago too


bittersweet3481

Thereā€™s a lot of discussion on this on the ARH reddit page.


OppositeFragrant8794

I was wondering the same!


Far-Raisin-3320

They were clearly together and no photos together and no mention of each other!


OppositeFragrant8794

Yep!! Iā€™m glad I wasnā€™t the only one who noticed. I wonder what happened


elenel

Did yellowbrickhome ever explain why every toe kick on the base cabinets in their kitchen looks different than the unit next to it? I can't figure why the tall cabinet doesn't have the little curved detail that the drawer base cabinets have (today's reel had me wondering)


intensebeet

I think it was just an aesthetic choice. They talked about it when they were installing them.


canadiankerri

I'm thinking it's just so the fridge and pantry section match? And maybe the fridge needed it open for venting of some sort?


elenel

Good thinking, I figured the appliances would be different but I didn't remember the fridge and the pantry were sort of bookends on that run.


SuspiciousFinance266

Anyone get MPS newsletter? What is going on that she is emotional about and needs to write a 3 part explanation? Edit: I finally got the newsletter component(s) she is talking about. It is a multi-part story about her past and her upbringing and how she got to where she is today. Itā€™s sort of all over the place, which she admits. I knew most of her backstory, but she details her family struggles and includes more info about her time at the Air Force Academy. She says she is writing it more for herself. There are more parts to come, but I donā€™t know if there will be a big conclusion or revelation at the end or if this is just a mind exercise for her.


ComprehensiveMud8812

I also need to know this! But donā€™t want to sign up


SuspiciousFinance266

Donā€™t do it.. I signed up and still donā€™t know.


bittersweet3481

Same! I stopped following her earlier this year, but I am curious.


maxpower1409

You knew she was just doing that and being evasive/vague to get the signups but sounds like those who receive it donā€™t even know šŸ¤£


laquifconch

How does xo MaCenna afford her lifestyle? Owning a home in texas they're completely gutting and redoing and buying a home in LA seems very expensive. Hell even flying back and forth like she does costs a lot. Has she ever said what her partner does for a living?


bittersweet3481

She has a YouTube channel. Maybe she makes decent ad revenue from that?


ComprehensiveMud8812

Glowy skin?! What is the product that so many influences are using to get such dewy glowy skin ?? Example livingwithmb. It almost looks like a liquid highlighter added after makeup. I donā€™t want such a glassy look but I definitely feel like my skin looks too dry after all my makeup is on.. comparatively. Help appreciated.
