    Your current set up is so so beautiful, but honestly it’s even more impressive that you built your platform in your old, cramped, non ideal house :’) You deserve everything!! 💖

    Another reason why your content usually feels very "comfy" to me is actually how your videos are edited. Obviously the aesthetics are important too, but a lot of youtube videos have zoom ins and quick editing, while your videos are more slower paced (in a nice way). So even people who dont share the same "aesthetic" as you can experience calm when watching your videos!

      thank u! i moved with my plants from northern california to southern california last year. I tried recording the process but as u might know, filming makes the task take so much longer so i decided against it lol.
      Before my move, I collected a bunch of boxes because I knew i was going to have to transport my plants. I put the plants in the boxes but kept the top open to prevent the plants from falling over. To make them rlly snug in the box, I used tshirts to fill in the gaps which also helped me pack some of my clothes lol. I used a uhaul tho cause i have so many plants haha

    I would also add to the colours of your textiles:
    The reason why light blue hues work with your brown sheets: looking at brown ( and beige-ish) they are a muted and brighter shade of orange. The complementary colour on the colourwheel to orange is blue. So by combining these you have a colour palette that is working and reading well together. (Seen often in movies too, warm foregroud, blueish toned down background)
    Taking the next step from that you can do that with any colour! Say green is dominating your room, add some small pops of contrary colour (in this case red/magenta) and it makes the green stand out more, aswell make the accents stand out.
    Saying that I would stick to 80% main colour and 20% accent colours.
    Anyway thats just a little input in playing with a minimal colour palette.
    I forgot about that tbh... I will be looking out for these too when I'm putting together the next place 🤗

      Thank you so much for this comment!!! The blue thing got me thinking, I was so confused because something was telling me it couldn't work but it does work! I was pretty sure it would make my space feel cooler but now I know how to use this trick. My room is mostly white & fake oak with black accents, and the predominant colors aside from those are soft warm yellow (that I love because of the bright and warm and positivity it brings) and of course green because plants. I'll try to introduce some muted lilac tones and see how does it work. Thank you again!

    Perhaps this style is the "Modern Organic style" of interior design. The Organic Modern style is a harmonizing hybrid that blends modern minimalism with nature's beauty. This on-trend design duo introduces warm neutral tones, rich textures and natural materials into cool contemporary spaces for a nurturing yet elegant aesthetic-the best of both worlds.

    I think it's a deeply ingrained connection to nature that makes us love having plants indoors:). Our ancestors millions of years ago lived among and with plants (when they had no distinction between indoors and outdoors, their home WAS the outdoors) so I think it just feels natural to have plants around you and there's a certain comfort that comes from a remnant of past evolution! Just my take on it tho

    there are studies stating those who spend more time outdoors exposed to sunlight and plants live longer lives. i agree on the being woken up by sun. it’s just good for you. also the lanterns giving ghibli vibes is so true i wish i had a terrace it definitely looks super cozy. i love the chic interior designer eye you soo clearly have lol it’s pretty. love your choice of pots. you’ve definitely set intention for your space and it’s really pretty to see. it matches your calm sweet demeanor. you’re green thumb is admirable seriously i’ve had a fiddle leaf for maybe 2 years now and it’s not seeing very much improvement ☹️ but i literally can’t complain coz i’m not the best plant mom i need to do better! i had a total plant phase in 2020 but all i have to show for it is my fig tree, my aloe monster which i’m actually proud of coz it had so many babies, and some succulent trailing plants. not terrible but iffy. not even my pathos survived 😵‍💫 your dog being named dave is cracking me up
