Love that you’re showing that sustainable does not have to mean minimalist! Your apartment has such personality!
sustainability is a method and strategy, it’s not an aesthetic 🙏🌿
These are the reason why I love her and her videos.
This is what I love about buying your stuff secondhand. Everything has its own story and it's like a treasure collection. You talk about your flat with so much love, you could never do that by saying "oh yeah I just got everything from Ikea" ...
I miss room tours like these, where you talk through it and show all the Nik knacks. Feels like old UA-cam 😊😊
Tip for the out-of-control tote bag collection: thrift shops want to give their customers a good experience as much as any other store, so I once walked down with that big collection of plastic bags most people have and they were very appreciative. The same probably goes for tote bags, if it’s gotten to be way too many for you 😊
Yes, this! I often do this as well, and they also seem so surprised when I don’t want my totes 😅
I do this with hangers - my local tailor loves them!
Definitely dont apologise for having your news articles, book on display. Theyre wonderful achievements that should be recongised, celebrated and cherished. I have a huge frame of the proofs of my cook book on the wall at home where I do my corporate job... it helps to remind me that Im more than just a monthly wage 😂
♥️♥️
Love you and your beautiful Home!! I have 99% Thrifted and handmade everything, including rugs, pillows, paintings (mostly mine) dishes, and gobs and gobs of jars with food and spices! You are simply an amazing version of my younger self! I am 72 now and I still love thrift shops and finding treasures to grace my walls and life. I also feel that preowned things have the energy of the previous owners and giving them a place in my home gives them a little honour after someone else has tossed them aside. I do hope that someday some of my treasures continued to be handed down to someone else to appreciate. For all the reasons we feather our nests with these beloved items, helping by recycling is one of the best!
as someone who, likes interesting objects, but is a bit afraid of clutter, I really appreciate how the overall look of your room is not that overwhelming.
ps: congrats on your BF's PhD! I know from experience how arduous those final steps of completing your thesis can be, so good on him. And the best compliment as a partner is to show interest in their work. Just start with all the "discussion" chapters if the method-sections are too dry. The discussion is where it gets interesting usually ;)
Wow impressive! I just cant help but wonder how much work it is to keep it clean. One of the reasons why I keep it minimalistic is because I cant deal with all this dusting and dont get me started on rugs!
i just moved to a new apartment in Odense, and the bathroom didnt come with storage under the sink. I found the must beautiful dresser, she was white, but i striped her down and covered her with gold the placed she was damaged. She fits the bathroom under the sink as if that's where she was meant to be with her natural wood and im i love with that dresser. It brings so much class and soul to a new apartment building. :)
Very chaotic, very cozy and functional little place you got there! I love it!

I personally don’t mind getting totebags because I don’t get that many and I’m always the friend who brought tote bags and while I get most of them back, I lose them at about the same rate as I get them this way
I needed this video as a sign to make my display my cheeky items that I have collected over the years. No longer do I need to worry about the sensitive eyes of babes. I love your collections.
I love your vibes ❤❤ We are completely the opposite and I love that. I am hyper energetic because of my ADHD so I need the min not to overstimulate my brain. If I spend a couple of hours in your house, I will stick to the roof and penetrate the building roof and hang up to the moon while singing la vida loca to all denmark 😂😂😂😂😂
Same here, yet I looove Gittemary's style! ❤
That is a wild picture you painted and it's very funny
Thrifting is my favorite pastime- it feels like treasure hunting and you’ll have something in your home that no one else has - especially with influencing everyone’s homes seem to look the same…it’s so refreshing to have a collection of different time periods and cultures, even if it’s just a tchotchke or a kitchen tool ❤
What is a tchotchke? :)
@@gildahobbs8829 A knickknack or trinket.
@@sustainfem thanks!
I love the cosyness and how everything add up to tell something about you, very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your space
one of my favorite jar storage hacks is to save all of the gel silica and other desiccants that i get in packages and then i throw a packet into a jar or other dry storage and it helps prevent clumping
That is an excellent idea 😍
I love your home! So inspiring and unique. Your pride and happiness in your home really show in this video
Aw you 🥹🩷
I think the tote bag problem happens in certain circles. My tote bags look horrible. Most are stained and have holes. I have contemplated buying some. I have been given two tote bags in the last two years. I also haven’t been to any eco events in the last two years!
Hi wish you lived in US! I’d have you over and have you take some goodies! Its soooo nice to see a young person appreciate the thrift goodies👍❤️ you’ve done a wonderful job making it warm and represent you ! Thanks for sharing 🤗🌹
Thank you ☀️
I am obsessed with your home!! I loooove the green vibes and the bathroom. A lot of my art and decor was from my grandparents and I love how mismatched it feels with my style. I've only just started to get into antique shopping and buying second hand stuff for homes. Can't wait to make it more homely without buying new.
I love seeing other people who collect animal skulls and specimens but also advocate for living animals! I’ve been told it is very hypocritical of me, but the majority of the specimens I have were found in nature after death or were thrifted long after they were originally obtained
It’s always fascinated me, I absolutely think that you can advocate for animal welfare and rights while also owning something like this that’s +40 years old ☺️
I feel like that's even better because you're still showing the animal love even so long after their death
Such a cosy vibe. It feels like a true home. Not like some peoples houses that look like a set. I'd love to sent you one of my paitings- I had an era where I only painted carrots and I feel like that would fit in well. (I am not an artist, just a hobby). Thank you for this video. Such good vibes.
My partner recently asked me if I had any tote bags to spare and I lit up because... OF COURSE I DO! lol 😆 I need to reject totes at events aswell.
One of the things I love about my kiddos being older now, is not needing to put everything up high! They understand some things are breakable and are not little tornadoes anymore. I recently thrifted two really neat candle holders; they are made to hold tapers, but the space is big enough to hold bigger ones, they're so neat and pretty and I'm so glad to finally really decorate. Love the bathroom. Cheeky and wonderful.
your home looks like a museum 😍
That was the vibe I was going for 😍
Haaa, just finished this video with a tea, I saved the tea for now because I knew you uploaded :) I really love the liveliness of your home, because with a lot of tours of living spaces I usually think 'where are all your trinkets and STUFF?!" It's really fun to see your bathroom, because of the huge candle holder.
Your earrings are gorgeous!!! The brass candle holder in the bathroom is exquisite!
Thank you 😍
I love all the self reference stuff that you have, the pictures, the magazines, really inspiring ❤
Thank you ✨
agree! nothing wrong with being proud of your accomplishments!
BEAUTIFUL apartment!! it must be a real joy living there
Your house brings me joy ❤ beautiful
Love the plate holder as part of your office/craft area. You have inspired me to look out for one as a great (sustainable) storage solution above a desk!
Hej Gittemary :D jeg fant din kanal mange år siden.. fulgte deg meget et stykke tid.. blev veganer, men kom meg ikke lengere . Jeg har flyttet meget og har haft svært ved å etablere en zero waste livstill. Men tusen takk for at spreder budskapet. Har planer med dette forår bli meget mere bæredygtig. Masser af krammer herfra
Thanks for the tour.
Things I really appreciated;
The play house table❤
The leopard❤
And that view❤❤❤
Thank youuu 🙏
I like your choice of style, because sustainability can be combined with anything, not just minimalism. Although I consider myself one of them. I also appreciate your love of family heirlooms or heritage with its own history. It touches me deeply. Thank you for sharing your lovely apartment and charming personality.
Love this! I love styling my home myself and this is so niiiice because I think you are equally as good at this as I am hihi ^^ Also: you look like you are really happy which is great to see :)
I consider myself a minimalist, but I love your apartment 😍
I love having rugs everywhere too, even in the kitchen the same as you. Your home is lovely, thanks for inviting me in 💛💐
I LOVE your mom’s art work!
Thanks for the tour…that was fun!
As a minimalist I really enjoyed watching this. I love seeing how others decorate. Also, I am an artist and would love to send you somethings.
Thank you 😍👌 omg, that’s so nice! My email is on my website, feel free to contact me, I don’t have a PO box, but I do have an office address 🩷
@@Gittemary Good morning, kindly check your email. thanks
Very beautiful 🩷🩷 love how everything has a little story
everything ✨✨✨
your eyes is so beautifull i love your second hand lifestyle!
Your home is SO gorgeous! I love the way you've arranged all your art so intentionally. it fits like puzzle pieces! I'm so impressed!
Thank you so much 🥹
I sincerely love your quirky style. There is always more interesting stuff to discover in your home. 😍
So cozy! And very cohesive, aesthetic.
i am so in love with your beautiful home! the bathroom is just too good❤️
Thank you for sharing. Loved the apartment tour
Thank You so much for this off to the charity shops with a tape measure....we always do reconditioned tech ❤your home finds
Love your home🌻
Oh the bathroom!!! What a good theme!!!
It is pure joy at this point 🥹
I looove valorising your home filled with amazing thrift finds, I hope you fell in love again with your home while making this video! Very nice aesthetic as well!
Your place is so cool!
Love this ❤
Love it! ❤

Thank you!
I love it, Love It, LOVE IT!
I love your place, you're such an inspiration 👼😌
Thank you 🥹
Wow i love this home❤
Thank you 🌿🌿
New subscriber here, love your apartment you really have created a beautiful home made with love!, also jeg lærer Dansk…wish me luck 😉🇬🇧
Loved this tour! And I keep trying to peek behind your living room plant to see your mom's sweet snail whom we met in another video :) Can you say again the name of the artist who did the kiss painting in your hallway?
I think I have the same computer screen for my work and I also got it secondhand! I love little coincidences like that 😁 This was a super cool video!
I got it from my neighbour, who also got it second hand, it has had quite a life 😂
The ass pillows kill me 😂 that is such a vibe
My favourite purchase of all time 😂
Oh ❤️ I love it
Very Gittemary, I love it !!
peak Gittemary 😎🙏
I am so bad at home decorating so I love seeing your place!
We all have to start somewhere 🩷
I'm a minimalist and really enjoyed this video. Maximalist style so tastefully done! 💖
This means A LOT 🥹
I have a similar, yet less maximalist vibe. I love your style, although it would be too crowded for me personally. I have mobility issues and need more open space to move around, I would break the coffee table immediately and I thrive best in less visual clutter. But again, I love love the vibe! It's like a museum. Also, I need to know about the skull. Is it real? Where did you get it? Does it need to pay rent?
Could you share some info (if you know more) about your glass coffee table in the living room? Everytime I see it in you videos, I admire it.
I dig your bathroom - I saw on a previous video you had a cylinder with a green cross/plus on it. Was that a vintage first aid kit?
I’ve been looking online but can’t find it.
This whole video I’ve been like “yeah that’s just like me, my stuff is 99,9% thrifted and we have extremely similar taste”, than you got to your bookshelf and I just started laughing!
I also have the same anatomy dude and a Bulbashrine 😆
I feel like we live in the same apartment, I’ve also collected art for years and years, I have a lot of paintings and prints my parents made etc
Sjovt nok er der også flere ting du viser jeg også har fra genbrugeren… hjernen bland andet. ..og der switchede jeg til dansk 😅
Hello loooooove what you did to your apartment lm a 💯 thrifta too an when I was scrolling threw utube an saw your vlog lm interested for sure in anything of thrifting, So l love what you have done to your apartment thanks for showing this vlog 😊 ❤❤
I would love to go thrifting with you, WONDERFUL home you have
I love your house! It's really cozy and really has your personality displayed! I adored all the gallery walls, how do you set them up? I find mine kind of look messy sometimes, while yours look very cool.
I kinda wing it 🥲 sorry that’s so unhelpful 😅 but in the one of the last living alone videos, I show how I made it
all dat a** 😂 love your space and trinkets so much! 💕
😎👌
Here after watching my usual minimalist and decluttering influencers 😂😅 Trying to find my identity and a balance between it all and wow big difference haha looks so personal and beautiful but also a little croqded for my taste but also better than having nothing
There is nothing cringe with keeping magazines or newspapers where you feature in. I would do the same. Nothing wrong with being proud of yourself and holding memories ❤
you are the totebag queen x
oh no, then I need to give more away 😂
I love the moon picture that your mom did above your bed. Does she sell them
heyy gitte marie i have a question: what is your way of using bandage / plasters or else in case of emergency?
love your channel =D
Thank you
I love it aesthetically ! (However couldn't live myself in a place with sooo many nik knacs to dust and clean :D)
I love your art collection! Any advice for collecting art with a small budget?
Start collecting through flea markets - you can also often often get wood cut or lino prints in the more inexpensive end 🙏☺️
Hii! I absolutely adore your videos and as an 18-year-old going to college and learning how to live sustainably your content is extremely helpful. You mentioned that you were small when comparing yourself to your table and, I'm sorry if this is a strange question, but how tall are you?
Love this ! Sorry you may already have spoken abour it but what is the problem with old glass ?
Lead
I think: ich bin chronisch unterpommest is my new life-slogan
Are bulk store not common in Denmark? 120km? I can find bulk stores even in rural areas.
I'm really trying to get my bed situation just like yours
That's David Beckham in the Tom of Finland poster 🤣
Really? Wow! I'll have to look at it again (censored, of course -- damn)!
It’s not, but granted it does look slightly like him 😂
You rug looks like one I got my art room. Mine.more purple red
I also have a second hand Samsung Serif tv. I love it
Also I’m working on a woodcut of menstrual cups
Omg twinning
The carpets ♥ but my dust allergy would be so triggered.
While I am more into minimalism (it makes cleaning a lot easier and less time consuming), I really like the way your place looks. I would love to have my walls decorated like that. Gonna start looking for art.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a look at ourdoor rugs. Easy to clean so easy to keep dust free :)
@@jacryan2004 oooooh, thank you so much! 😊🙏🏻
There are pros and cons to carpets with dust allergy. It was a theory that removing carpets relieves the symptoms, and that can be true if the carpets are old or very dirty. But carpets can actually help with "binding" the dust near the floor to reduce the amount of dust in the air. With wood flooring the dust is always ready to be whirled up into the air, when you walk around, close or open doors etc. Especially in the height where children have their heads when they sit on the floor to play, there is a lot less dust when the floor has carpets.
But if you have carpets I would recommend to always remove your shoes when entering the home, and vacuum once or twice per week to keep the carpets clean.
This is so my vibe😅
My moms bathroom has magazine covers modge-podged on the wall, could be so cool in your (; bathroom… iykyk
I little strip of washi tape on the corners of your glass table would save knees.
cool.
I love the tattoos on your feet ( I would have something similar if I could stand the pain - I do have both arms full of them, but anywhere else I just could not do)- sigh❤
Where is the leopard from? In my opinion the most beautiful animal, xo
It’s vintage, I found it on a Danish second hand platform. I wanted one for ages, so I often searched for ceramic tigers, leopards etc until I found this one 😍
❤
♥️
👍
You need a boobie cactus and penis cactus for your bathroom window! 😁💪 it looks nice and sunny and they would thrive there
okay I 100% need that
@@Gittemary yesss 😁👌
is it a real human skull??
It is yeah 😂👌 it’s from an old biology classroom
@@Gittemary Have you tracked it down yet to make sure it was freely given to science? Or is it that you just don't care? Last time I asked about it you seemed a bit flippant about possibly owning a human skull of someone who, very likely, did not consent to having their remains displayed as home decor...
@@kailovi as I also told you the last time, it’s not that I don’t care, but it is literally impossible to know. It’s +75 years old, at least, and from what I know about the bones in circulation like this in DK is that they’re often found when renovating graveyards or churches (in comparison to those in many museums which are often acquired differently)
Consent in this regard is sadly a fairly new concept, historically, and whenever bones have been found in churches, or fields, in Denmark, they have been donated to schools, that’s all we’ll ever know
@@Gittemary Your cognitive dissonance is showing. There are ways to discover more, time consuming and possibly expensive sure, but even if it would be impossible to make sure, you're making a conscious choice here nonetheless. So, you care, but the possible exploitation and almost certain lack of consent does not bother you enough to actually do anything about it? It's a bit weird how comfortable you are displaying human remains like trophies just for the aesthetic, promoting it with absolutely zero emphasis on the lack of ethics to raise awareness and discourage others form going online and buying their own human remains. And yes, as an influencer, all you do and display is promotion, and not saying anything about it is a choice.
My favourite quote of yours went something like "your convenience is irrelevant". Doesn't apply here I guess?
@@kailovi
it seems like we’re having the same conversation again, you clearly don’t like the skull, fair enough 😅 but you seem to expect that I dig for clues as to the origin of the skull, when there are none, or book a lab for testing, which isn’t something you just do.
I have a feeling that we would be having this exact conversation, even if I had a disclaimer on the video stating that I don’t encourage people to acquire human remains if there is as a risk of it being unethically “sourced”.
kids, don’t go around digging’ up graves, obviously
