      i thought of that too. I specifically remember him saying that he liked the pop of red chord in the kitchen light, but I guess he’s grown tired of it, and him being able to take his word back on the things he originally said is such a rare thing for influencers and i admire it.

    That pet feeder is so neat. I had no idea they made one for wet food. Love the new couch! I miss the couches from back in the day that were so sinkable, but they didn't test/break the bank. In my ideal world, I would find an old school, in good condition couch and refinish it. Winnie's new scratcher matches the tapestry so well. Looks great in that area! I can relate to buying something for a cat and it being totally ignored. It's happened over, and over, and over with my boy. 😂 I adore the progress of Winnie and Theo's relationship. They are so precious. I am on the hunt for bookshelves like you have. If anyone has a lead, please let me know.

    Hi Theo, Winnie and your parents,, Benji and Chris. You have built such a peaceful and untangled life. Congratulations. I like that you allow us into your heads ,your thought process and reasoning. To me , it shows you care more than just to skim over life. I am 62 and have just come to be comfortable like this in my life. Watching your families lives together is also such a delight. The way your mother and father flow in and around your lives is very loving. Thanks for all you share!

    "Absolutely love your ideas! Bringing the fireplace back to life will be a fantastic plan, especially with winter on the horizon. It will transform your living room into a warm and inviting space. I also recommend considering a sleek black tray for the coffee table to add a touch of elegance, or you could polish the fish tray for a refreshing update. These little details really tie a room together!"

    😢 I always loved the little window into a fantastical mossy world inside your bookcase. it was so unique and unexpected. I get why you did it and with a closer look the moss really needed some tlc. I just miss that unexpected pop of "what is that?😮" in your living room.
    still, great video and thank you for sharing that little oasis of peace and calm with us

    Petlibro is such a smart purchase. Was at a Friendsgiving and was talking about our cats, of course, and my friend realized that she hadn’t fed hers before leaving for the night. With Petlibro, that would never be a problem. I have their kibble one, and it holds like a month worth of food in there. So when I leave for a longer period of time, and have a cat sitter, it’s one less thing for them to worry about, and they can focus on playing with the cats instead. Win win! ❤

    You're so spot on about assessing your home decor - love the texture that the couch and lamp add to the space! I was also initially concerned about the couch blending in too much but I think the color works great, especially when adding in the blanket and pillow. Love seeing the dynamic between Winnie and Theo, the cutest!

    love everything! the white trim was such a nice difference. I enjoy the lightness of the new couch more than how dark the other one was. I have lots of boho furniture in my house, I am a sucker for wood and rattan. it can be really beautiful and timeless when mixed with the right pieces. so love that lamp, and also all the lighting on the bookshelf.
    I love the warm, orange glow of salt rock lamps, I wonder if that's something you'd ever incorporate. can add a beautiful natural texture and glow. i notice all your lights are similar in tone. i love bringing color in with lights since they can be turned on and off when you need a mood shift. really changes the atmosphere and is low commitment!

    I'm going to miss seeing the terrarium on the bookshelf . I also think that because you have the books lit up from the back, you might want to backlight another shelf or two keep the look consistent. I also recommend rubbing a little catnip on the scratching post. This will attract your cat to it and want to play with it more.

I too love Japanese look or decor placement of furniture. I did look twice when U should off ur beautiful "candle holders" 🤭 & good choice to move ur book shelves all the same levels otherwise U will live in a rocky home. That was a beautiful "homemade throw blanket" as well.
