    Another technique is to only put a few decorative items on display and rotate them frequently keeping the rest in storage.

    Love Izzy’s drink and think - what a great life! Great tips, especially about grouping or corralling small things. To make a space feel more open I try to limit how many things are touching the floor. I prefer furniture I can see under for a more open feel, and makes it easier to clean the floors too.

    Housed my orchids in diy ikea greenhouse cabinets and cut down on my plant collection!
    As for cooking, remember I told you I dislike cooking due to limited kitchen space? Now I get frozen ingredients and an air fryer. I'm more likely to cook if it's quicker and less stuff to prep!

    I love your flat. It's so calm, cosy and aesthetically pleasant. I've already been using some of this tips on my 268 sq ft studio flat. But you gave me a light bulb moment about what to do with my tiny bookcase and all the colourful books in it, which I love but really don't match my relaxing colour scheme. I'll buy white storage boxes (it's an Ikea furniture) andfit them inside with the spine up so I will be able to grab the book I want easily. You have a new subscriber. Thanks for the tips.😊

    Thank for all your great ideas & will definitely consider them when designing my tiny studio apartment.
    FYI I am a dog and cat nutritionist and two of the most important things about cats are animal protein as they are obligate carnivores and moisture because they’re derived from deserts and their anatomy is designed to get their moisture from their prey. And, the number one worst thing you can give a cat is kibble because it has zero moisture and it has hardly any animal protein and its mostly carb based so your cats digestive system has to work overtime to digest its carbs that break down into small sugars and everything thrives on sugar weather its yeast or cancer. Not to mention kibble is extruded at 450-600 degrees faraihneght. I can’t think of anything that survives those temperatures. And, it doesn’t clean your cats teeth like vets say. It cleans their teeth just like cookies and crackers clean our teeth. Also, the number one reason why cats die is kidney failure because of the excessive water drinking not being absorbed like real meat (75% real absorbable moisture). My cat eats real raw meat and actually never drinks water. She doesn’t even shed, her teeth are amazing, has amazing energy, only poops very small once a day, and doesn’t pee all day because she’s properly hydrated. and I have no vet bills. Having a pet is a luxury and it cost some money to keep one. We’re not supposed get a cat and feed it the same highly processed foods every day for the rest of their lives that they can barely digest. I’m sorry but your advertising things that contribute to our cats issues and I need to say something about it. A wonderful resource is Catinfo.org it’s Dr Lisa Piersons sight and there’s Dr Karen Becker (most fallowed vet in the world) where I get my cats recipes from.

    • @SpaceMakerMethod
      @SpaceMakerMethod  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We also feed our cat wet food when she can stomach it. Unfortunately she's had a terrible time with most wet foods and vomits them up right after. After speaking with her vet, he put us on a specific diet for the time being.

    • @nidiarodriguez6832
      @nidiarodriguez6832 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SpaceMakerMethod if you really want to know why your cat vomits you should really consider looking up Dr Karen Becker. There’s lots of preservatives and chemicals in the can food as well which is probably why it throws. Those prescription diets are very bad and highly processed just look at the ingredient panel and see for yourself. You have nothing to lose by looking up Dr Becker and research your cat’s biological diet. Good luck!

    Your cat is vomiting the processed Frankenfood all over your house because animals are supposed to eat RAW meat (actual FOOD). If you had to eat power bars and processed food your whole life then you would be UNHAPPY and unhealthy… You don’t want to do that, so why do you do that to your cat? Feed your cat RAW food, that is the ultimate diet that will keep them healthy and stop her puking from being malnourished. There are MANY companies making the appropriate amount of bones, muscle and organ meat food for your cat, and it’s NOT HARD to do
