"Everything's beautiful to Mom. Everything goes. There are no dead ends. Everything is just beautiful."
-Erin (Bates) Paine
Coming up this week on Bringing Up Bates, Kelly Bates and Erin Paine head to Chicago to help Michaela Keilen set up her new rental home. But it's no secret that Kelly and Erin have very different ideas when it comes to decorating. You'll see what we mean in the promo video below.

We should all be a little more like Kelly Jo. I want to be known as finding everything beautiful too. How encouraging.
ReplyDeleteSo true!
DeleteDecorating - like personal fashion - is up to the couple. . . sure, listen to opinions, but be true to yourselves.
DeleteI have four adult children - each have very different tastes - I appreciate each one's fashion and decorating styles. . . none are like mine.
What an amazing mom.
Deleteok I am sorry but that blue color needs to go. And Kelly is nice but she has to let her daughter make decsions and not just agree with everything. And wondering why Carlin is hugging Evan I thought that was not allowed.
ReplyDeleteThe Bates are are allowed to hug when they are courting, and even when they are just girlfriend and boyfriend.
DeleteThey are courting now so it's okay
DeleteThe Bates kids set their own rules
DeleteIt was Michaela's home, but she didn't really say much. It was Erin offering up her ideas, at least on the video.
DeleteSigh...Oh Ellie and Lily, why do you allow so many off-topic comments? They are just like dangling bait for negativity.
DeleteThat is why they allow it. Negative publicity is still publicity.
DeleteSo agree some people aren’t so loving and find things to complain about seem like kelky is a nice woman bless her!
ReplyDeleteIt didn't seem like Michaela had much to say.
ReplyDeleteI think Michael is much more reserved and quieter than most of her family. That’s just her personality.
DeleteI thought she was asking for their opinions. She might love Erin's taste in decorating, so she wanted her to come help.
DeleteShe clearly has been communicating with Erin about her vision prior to the taping of this show. Didn't you hear her referencing the quilt that she had "shown" Erin?
DeleteI’m surprised they are allowed to renovate a rental home? I understand paint, but removing woodwork?
ReplyDeleteI removed that same piece of decorative scallop over my sink. It is easily put back should they move.
DeleteYou can do anything that the landlord permits you to do.
ReplyDeleteMy only concern would be having so many wall hangings -hope they used those removal hooks. . .and did not use nails or screws.
DeleteIf I was a landlord I would not like having to patch holes.
I do not have a sister, therefore I do not know the competitive nature between sisters.
I got a kick out of Michaela saying she did not like Erin winning while bowling - it was in a light manner. Many people need help in decorating . . . or even in fashion.
There are types that try on a white dress and a blsck dress.
"They" like the white dress better, but IF OTHERS like the black one they change their minds. AND there are those that will stick with the white one no matter how many say otherwise. Is it self confidence or wanting to please others? I sure do not know. . . . but I would stick to the white dress. Just a little
"what do you think" question.
I've always preferred neutral colors on walls, floors and upholstery. That way, I can add accent colors to a room that are easily updated and changed. Plus, I'm not a big fan of having to repaint a room often.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I love the Bates ladies, but personally I don't like that pastel walls, little signs look.to me it's dated, I think more sophisticated looks would be nicer, especially in a big city like chicago where I don't see that sort of "cutesy" style anymore. Just my taste, love Erin, Kelly jo and Michaela.
ReplyDeleteTotally off topic, but could we find out where Erin got her dress. It is absolutely so cute! Chris
ReplyDeleteDo the ladies do hand me down outfits I wonder. That would be good especially for the young kids.
DeleteShe and whitney were definitely sporting some wild nail colors, and big earrings on erin. Thought they were modest in dress and appearance???
