French-style home decorating: correcting rooms with what you own

English-speaking home dwellers, mostly American (titles contrast French and American homes), who rent or live in small spaces and want a calmer, better-looking home without buying more. Inferred from titles, descriptions and transcript openings; there are no audience statistics.

• Realistic avatar
• A photorealistic, middle-aged woman with a short dark wavy bob, round glasses (absent in the avatar), a grey herringbone blazer and a black turtleneck, identical in every image. She is cut into staged interiors or a street scene, pointing, gesturing or seated, often beside before/after rooms.

A numbered list of 8 to 13 room corrections (things not to buy, tricks, outdated trends), taken in a fixed order: light, height, texture, colour. Each gets a rule, a time and a cost; a mid-video book plug, a one-task 'tonight' ending and a comment prompt follow.

The same woman in a grey blazer and black turtleneck, cut out beside or over staged rooms. A short bold phrase in white and yellow caps ('OUTDATED', 'STOP BUYING THESE'), before/after or numbered-room graphics, chalk-style arrows and crosses; a concerned look or a pointing hand.

• A title family: 12 of 14 titles carry a number (8 to 13) and 10 name the French; the 3 most viewed (7,062; 6,701; 5,410 views) all name the French.
• Daily output: 14 uploads in 16 days (Sep 22 to Oct 7, median gap 1 day), each 10 to 17 minutes; 4 of the last 6 uploads passed 3,700 views.
• One thumbnail look: the same woman in the same blazer and glasses in 10 of 10, a short bold phrase on 9, and before/after or numbered-room graphics on 4.
• A told backstory: the about text and the transcripts give a Lyon upbringing, 14 years of decorating and a grandmother who made curtains for 41 years.
• One product path: the first line of 14 of 14 descriptions links to her book; both transcript excerpts carry a spoken plug, one citing an on-screen QR code.
