My parents used to own a clothing store a long time ago. They had to steam a lot of clothes before hanging after they made a massive buy at market. Eventually, they got us kids to do it for them. One technique that worked really well and worked much faster was to steam from the inside of the garments, with long, straight strokes. This was also a way to prevent any over steaming, water stains, or burn marks on the outside of the garment. 😊

Hi Kirsten, I loved this vid❣️ I too am feeling a strong compulsion to declutter. While I'm not a minimalist, "things" not only occupy my physical space, but mental as well. In fact, decluttering does wipe us out because there is such emotional energy accompanying our belongings! But in the end, the sense of release and accomplishment is palpable! 🫠Great job getting real with your stuff and purging so admirably! 💫✨️🌟

@kirstenashley2864 You're a minimalist for real. Your home is clean, clutter-free, and most importantly, you know when it's time to get rid of things. Acquiring stuff comes in cycles and it's normal; the trick is to declutter every once in a while, which you're good at.

Love the placement of the mirror in the corner and the addition of the one in the kitchen. It makes the space look larger and brighter, because the light reflects off of the small mirror onto the picture frames and the large mirror catches the light from the window! You could repurpose the art work that you were going to sell and make another gallery wall using one to cover the utility box, Another idea would be to display some floating shelves for some pretty dishes or plants.Perhaps you can add a very narrow bookcase and sit it on that dresser to extend the eye upward and give you more storage space. Try some baskets to hide your bits and bobs. Love your space, it’s very soothing and represents you well.

Why not paint the utility box to exactly match the wall color? The landlord would probably love the idea. If you do paint it, remember to paint the inside of the door, too.

Here's an idea if you would like to put up wallpaper, use poster boards and apply the wall paper or maybe peel and stick tiles to the poster board. You can use double sided mounting tape to adhere the posterboard to the wall. You can then create any look you want without worrying about messing up the wall. Love your content and your apartment.

I love your apartment. I would not go with wallpaper for a few reasons. It's a long-term commitment. It's easy to get tired of it. It's a pain in the neck to put up and take down. You can do a renter friendly beadboard on the bottom of the wall and paint the top in a dramatic color as an accent wall. You can hide the electric box with a painting or fold a table runner over a dowel and hang the dowl by rope. Almost everyone in our old condo did that.

Still way too much crammed into that small living room IMO. Don’t forget negative space. I have a much bigger living room and have no coffee table or tv cabinet. That’s what I would get rid of.
