      I think the Picture Lights are a lovely idea and will elevate my wall art pieces! I never thought of that before so thanks Kristen!🥰 Also the DeeBit X1 Plus - I added it to my Mother’s Day wish list!

    Screw-less wall plates are a game changer and the vacuum has become a must! Grouping pieces is something I already do and works wonderfully!
    Thrifting is awesome. Picked up two mahogany night tables yesterday for much less than the price of manufactured wood pieces sold today. Thanks for your advice.

    As a minimalist the coffee table books is way too much for me I like them on the shelf. But the added kitchen cupboards is the best idea before I paint my cupboards. Thank you 🙏🏻

    You're so right about picture lights. When I was in my very early 20s, my much older sister-in-law did that in their home and it looked so amazing. She was super thrifty and handy, so I know it didn't cost her a lot. Funny story -- when I slept over, it would take her 15 minutes to go around and turn off all her little lights. Anyway, I did pick up her lighting lessons, but I've never done the picture lights. But now I'm moving into a new home and I'm going to do some picture lights for sure!

    I just found your channel recently. You have many great ideas.
    Just some FYI about using the Eco floor cleaner. We recently put all new flooring in our home & we bought one, just to be on the safe side I called where we bought it from to make sure it was safe to use on the floors, they checked with the manufacture & they said no. They don't warrenty the floors if you use it. Bummer! We loved it.

    I think this is the best video on TH-cam!!! A few weeks ago I decided to look into picture lights ( funny my older brother has had them for years ) I love the idea of two furniture pieces 100 % agree about the curtain panels one of my pet peeves is seeing a window with one curtain or 2 and when they close it looks sickly lol I didn’t know about the screwless wall plates 🤯 My only diy IKEA hackis buying two white VITTSJO and painting them gold because Etagere’s are too expensive. Amen to the kitchen cabinets, coffee table books, cleanliness and now my Roomba seems kind of Flintstones compared to your vacuum

    What many people don't realize, is that the way homes were built many years ago MADE SENSE. The Kitchen Cabinets went to the ceiling. Wardrobes and dressers were built into rooms. Space was made use of by beautiful arched built in bookcases. Built in window seats that had storage. Built in China Cabinets, Hutches in the Dining room.
    It's crazy and ridiculous that good design principles went by the wayside.

    I got a Shark Matrix Robot Vacuum to test for Shark Ninja. As much as I like that Robot Vacuum, It does have some flaws. It’s round design & short side brush, prevents it from cleaning corners & along baseboards thoroughly. It also misses some dirt on floors & can’t always pick dirt or lint from carpets. For as expensive as they are, they need Improvements. I’m just grateful that I didn’t have to buy it. I find I still have to use my corded Bissell upright vacuum to get the rest of the dirt missed.
