Tip for the basil plant: get one and split it in halves or even quaters and put them into a much bigger pot with some new soil. They are sold with the entire pot full of roots and not enough soil, that’s why they die so fast. And when you need basil, cut of the upper half of the stem, so it continues to grow two new stems from the two leaves below where you cut. Then the basil will get bushier and you double the basil leaves😊 I‘ve done that to mine 6 months ago and it still thrives, I even had to cut half of it off and make pesto because it got to big😂

I’d get a big piece of art to put on the opposite wall, to cover the fuse box, then a large rectangular mirror to either hang on the wall or lean on the top of the dresser. It will reflect the art, and make the space look bigger, plus you have a spot to check yourself out before leaving.

That wooden dresser is beautiful. What a bargain that was for real wood. As far as the basil plant, it is meant to be repotted in a larger pot and kept indefinitely.

With basil, it is important to plant it in a slightly larger pot straight away, then it will live for a very long time.

Thank you for filming that wonderful old area of Arlington❣️❣️❣️ I’m an over-the-top nostaglic person, and as you were at the dresser by your entrance and talking about a mirror or painting, it popped in my head that I would want a painting or poster of my homeland. Would a travel poster of Australia, featuring giant eucalyptus trees, placed over what I think is the electric junction box opposite the new dresser be something you’d enjoy? It’d be a great conversation piece, too, when you have guests. I’’m so excited and happy for you with all the fun you’re having setting up and decorating your apartment❤❤❤❤❤.

Definitely a mirror (Ikea) above the gorgeous new to you dresser. You need a a catch-all bowl for keys and coins on that dresser along with the blue urn filled with blue flowers with the lid sitting slightly to the side and some books with a big candle sitting on them, no candle sticks. Also a small mat in the entry placed like a runner. Yes to the photo gallery wall above the console and move the floral print over to the other wall in the entry to cover the electricity box. You also need another mirror on the wall above the dresser in your room. You can never have too many mirrors in a home. I think that striped chair would be gorgeous by the big floor mirror in the living area, even if it sits slightly in front of it off to the side. It's coming together nicely. Oh and get the bowls to go with your plate set that matches your bed cover, they are such a find too! 💙💙💙

Nice chest of drawers! It fits perfectly. Blue & white is so versatile ... all my plates are different combos of blue & white, Chinese bowls or Dutch Delft appie plates Portuguese B&W mugs, Parisian bistro plates ... sounds disjointed, but they all blend together nicely People often comment, that they're interesting, not all matchy-matchy I think we're sisters of a different Mother lol. I also have 3 different blue & white ginger jars. They're also great for stashing things in. Depending on the depth & size of hole. I've stored a bag of chargers & extension cords/small tools in one, The other held mitts, gloves & a collapsible umbrella. The 3rd held my shoe shine supplies & rags. Temu has lots of inexpensive tree mugs & organizational gadgets.😊

That Basil plant can absolutely last you a lifetime if you take care of it. For example harvesting the tip leaves so it becomes bushy and grows more and more, it will eventually flower but you can stop that from happening. I have one in my kitchen. Just search up some "growing basil indoors" and before you know it you will have a green thumb!

If you put your basil in a sunnier spot (near the window), it will possibly grow a lot bigger/healthier and last for months. Of course I live in Darwin where the weather is ideal for basil all year round. I'm not sure how it will go in your winter.

Bless your heart thought I’d check out your channel it came across my feed, I know everyone has different taste, and we are complete opposites in design. But you need some help in styling it’s just not your best talent, that’s ok some people just have a better eye and can look at a space and can envision and style with ease. I’m more of a modern take on style lots of white with neutral colors but I can appreciate any good design. But you need help! Maybe a stylist could help! Wish your channel the best not for me!
