I need your input! House updates & spend a day with me at the salon // Solo homeowner vlog

Good morning. No, just kidding. Good afternoon. It's like [gasps] 1:30 in the afternoon. Happy Thursday. Welcome back to a new vlog. I'm so sorry that I've been gone. How many weeks did I skip? Two. Two weeks maybe. I took a little bit of a hiatus from uploading on here, which was completely unintentional, but just needed. I actually just got back a few days ago from Las Vegas. I went with my boyfriend. We'll we'll talk about that at some point, maybe in a future video. But things have been going really, really, really, really well. And it's just like completely [sighs] just not what I expected. Like when I entered into this year, I was fully ready and excited to just be single for a very, very long time, if not like forever. And I don't know, it's like my whole perspective has changed. And it's true what they say like when you are least expecting it and not wanting it and not looking that's when you find your person and when you meet the right person they will completely change your perspective on everything. I don't know my outlook on relationships and like especially relationships with men was very negative just from you know my past experiences and I've been converted. I truly just didn't believe that it could be like this good or that you know men like this actually existed. So yeah, it's it's been good over here. But I woke up this morning and I actually have off of work today. It's a one of those weird weeks where I started out the week being fully booked and then like one by one people kept reaching out rescheduling their appointments. So, you know, it's better than them cancelling altogether cuz at least they're coming in like a week or two. So, it's not like I lost the appointments altogether. Um, but it's like, oh, okay. This went from like a fully booked week to like a really slow week. But I'm trying to take advantage of it. My whole entire day ended up opening up today. So, I'm not going into the salon and I'm just going to be home. And I want to be productive and take advantage of having this whole day free. Good morning. Welcome back to another vlog. Happy Wednesday. Feeling a little bit crazy. I just like threw my hair up in a kind of crazy messy claw clip situation cuz it's just been pouring rain all week. Right now it's not raining obviously, but like it's just clouds everywhere. It feels so humid and wet and sticky and like it's just too uncomfortable to wear your hair down. I got the new Alani flavor and I'm so excited to try it. And I also just feel like I really need caffeine today. It's purple cotton candy. don't like that. I mean, I'll drink it, but Well, it has a grape taste, like an artificial grape that's kind of between grape soda, which I love grape soda, but also a little bit like cough medicine. that kind of grape, which is not good. So, it's not like absolutely horrible, but I would not get this flavor again. Anyway, I don't have too much time to chat right now. I just wanted to say hello, get the vlog started. I am on my way to the salon. I have three clients on my schedule and yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Should be fun stuff. Heat. Heat. [music] >> [music] [music] >> Hello. Hello. It's several hours later. I have my second client currently here. Um, she is in the processing room down the hall. I have her under some heat. It's crazy. She not only has virgin hair right now, but she has never colored her hair ever before, which is so exciting, so cool, so rare, and also like what an honor that she trusts me to be the first person to color her hair ever. Um, but we are doing peekaboo color. So sectioning from like the side and just the back so that when her hair is down, you can just see like little pieces of the color peeking through. And then like when she pulls it all forward or obviously she does like a half up. And we're doing a like dusty pink color. So, um, dirty pink is actually the color I'm using. I'm using one of the Pulp Riot highspeed toners. I've used this color before and it's really pretty. And these toners are nice. They work really well. But yeah, she's currently sitting under the heat with a bunch of foils in her hair. Her hair is so long and thick. the texture of her hair, her cuticle is like really tight, I guess. And her hair is just like very healthy. So, [sighs] it is lifting very slowly. And obviously, I wanted to be careful and not damage her hair. So, I did 20 volume in my lightener. Um, and I did like really thin see-through sections, but oh my god, it is lifting so slowly. Um, and I need to get her like pretty blonde in order for the pink color to like come out right. So, I just keep going every like 10 to 15 minutes and checking on her. I mean, it's healthy. It's looking good. It's just lifting very slowly, which kind of was like making me panic a little bit because I'm supposed to have a haircut appointment after hers and I was supposed to be done with her hair at 4:00 and it's currently 3:15 and she's still under the heat lamp. I feel like she's going to probably need at least another 20 minutes and she's already been under there for about a half hour. [sighs] It's just lightning a lot slower than I would have expected. But I also like that's the thing that's tricky. Like she submitted a form and sent me her photos of her hair. So like I did see how long it was, but you don't know like the true density of someone's hair or like the texture of it until you really see them in person. And you also don't always know how their hair is going to lift and take to color until you've done it before. So yeah, it's uh can be tricky. And she was originally going to be my last client of the day, but then I I don't know. I was like, "Oh, I had another client reach out and I was like, "Yeah, sure. Let me book a haircut. Um I have time." But now I'm panicking because I'm like there's just no way. And I feel like the timing is not going to work out because I wish the haircut client either was coming sooner cuz I could have been cutting her hair this whole time while this client's been processing and then I could have just been done earlier cuz now I'm like I don't know exactly when I'm going to get done. So, I text her and I let her know that I'm running really behind and asked if she could come an hour later. Um, or if that time doesn't work for her, I offered her another time later in the week. I mean, we literally just booked this appointment yesterday afternoon, so she can't be too mad about that. But, I don't know. She hasn't answered me yet. So, that's the thing that like stresses me out. And I know it's just part of the job and it is what it is. and like we run behind. And I mean, I've maybe only once ever had a situation where a client was like got frustrated with having to wait like ever in my almost 10 years of doing hair. you know, most of the time everyone's really understanding and I always try to be understanding when clients are running late to their appointments because like then sometimes I'm running behind and you know, it's just it's just happens sometimes, but it stresses me out so much for some reason. Like I hate it. Even if I'm just running like 10 minutes behind, I just like panic. I don't know. It'll be fine. It'll all work out. And I always have to remind myself in these moments like don't try to rush through the process. Don't like cut her processing time and wash her out before she's really done and lifted to where she needs to be just to like try to save time because then the result is not going to come out good and she's going to be unhappy or I'm going to have to, you know, redo and start all over again and that's just going to take more time. So, trying to just be patient, let her hair process, let it just slowly lift and get to where it needs to be. And the pressure is really on, too, because she's just in town visiting. She doesn't live here. So, I have to like get it perfect because it's not like I can just tell her to like come back next week or something, you know, if something doesn't turn out quite right or she's unhappy or whatever. It's like this is my one opportunity. So, yeah, wish me luck that it goes well. I'll show you her hair when it's done and we'll see what happens with this haircut. And then I have a new client that wants to do a virtual consultation. So I might be doing that once I'm done with work for the day today. So we'll see what happens. It might end up being kind of a long day. [music] [music] >> [music] [music] >> It came out so pretty. And that ended up taking way longer than expected. When I texted my last client who was supposed to come in for the haircut, originally she was scheduled for 4:00. I texted her and I said, "Can you come at 5:00 instead cuz I'm running really behind." I just finished checking her out. It's 5:37. So, it ended up taking a whole hour and a half plus longer than expected. So, [snorts] that's why I say double booking really stresses me out because sometimes you don't know, especially if you're doing a service on a new client or, you know, they're changing it up, doing something different with their hair. Sorry for all the boring hair talk for the non-hair stylists watching, but um luckily my last client, she ended up just rescheduling for a different day. So that worked out and she was like very understanding about it. It was no big deal. So grateful for that. And it's good for me because now I can just go home and I don't have to be here as late because I was here kind of late last night and I'm going to be here even later tomorrow night and tomorrow is going to be kind of a crazy day because I am back to back to back to back to back. I have five clients so it'll be an interesting day. But I'm going to finish cleaning up and head home. Hello. >> Hey, Kelly. >> Hey. Yes. >> Hi. This is Sam. Were you covering your grays with permanent color ever? I was so excited to get home. So, I got here, ate dinner, put on I've been watching old seasons of Love Island that I never watched when they like originally came out. And um then I was just sitting here and I was like, "Oh my god, I was supposed to call that client and do a virtual consultation." Luckily, just like over the phone, not a FaceTime. So, um but I just got off the phone with her. She sounds super sweet and really reasonable and realistic with her goals and what she wants. So, I got her appointment booked and I am really looking forward to it. I get so excited. Like I mean obviously my regulars that have been coming to me for a really long time. I love getting to see them. Especially the ones that like like my first client this morning feels like a friend to me. And every time she comes in I'm like I can't wait to like catch up and hear what's been going on in her life and her dating life. And like we always have some kind of cra well her more so some crazy stories to share and um like I just I love that. I love the relationship that I have with my regulars. But it is really exciting getting a new client and especially when like the vibes just feel good and it just feels like we're going to click and like it's a good match. And especially when it's like a younger client, like more within my age range. I listen, I love my older clients too, don't get me wrong, but um I don't know. I just, you know, like the conversation is just always flows more easily and I feel like I can relate and it's just always good vibes when I get like the younger girls. Yeah. And I'm just so grateful that I still get new clients reaching out regularly and even though like I was going through a pretty slow season like the last few weeks. Um which, you know, it worked out to my advantage because I've had a lot of stuff going on in my social life. I've been like out and about a lot and so it's been kind of nice to like get a little bit of a break work-wise to just like enjoy my summer. But now things are picking back up and it's getting busier. Um, which also is good and I'm like excited about that. And you know, financially especially. Oh, but I've been watching the show Dark on Netflix. I don't know when the most recent season came out, but I know season 1 came out in like 2019 or 2020, and it's been sitting on my watch list like since it first came out. but it's in German and I just I don't know. I was like I don't want to have to like deal with the subtitles or if I put like the English dub over it that always is like hard to get into because I feel like the voice actors are like not always the best. And then like obviously their lips are not matching up. But I started watching it over the weekend and oh my god it is so good. And I'm actually really upset because I've been watching it with Justin and I know he would be upset if I watched it without him and vice versa. So, I'm not going to watch it tonight. I'm going to wait. But yeah, we have been binging it and we're almost done with season 2. But it's about time travel and it's just so good. It is such a good show and it's like crazy just the webs like it's this small town and there's all these different families and everybody is like interconnected somehow and it just goes back and forth from all of these different years and eras and you're seeing like the same characters but all different ages. It's a little bit tricky to follow in the very beginning, but then once you get familiar with like who is who and who's related to who. Um, oh my god, it's just so good. And I'm I find myself at work thinking about the show and I'm like just all I want to do is come home and watch more of it. But then at the same time, I don't want to finish it super fast because then I know once I'm done with it, I'm gonna be really upset and wish I had more. So, I also kind of want to like take my time and stretch it out, but oh god, it's just so good. So, if you're looking for a new show to binge, highly recommend Dark on Netflix. And honestly, like having it be in German and having to read the subtitles, it was after like the first half of like episode 1, I got so used to it that I forgot. And like I watch it now and it doesn't even occur to me that it's in a different language. having to read the captions, it forces you to pay attention because obviously you can't like scroll on your phone or get distracted doing something because then you're going to completely miss everything and have no idea what's going on. So yeah, highly recommend cuz since getting back from my trip, I just haven't had a chance to unpack my bags. I have so much laundry. Oh, that's another thing. You know, let me sit. I keep like my arm's getting so tired. I keep switching hands with the camera. Let me just put you down here. A couple days before we left for our trip, my hot water stopped working. And it was so random because he was over here and was helping me do a whole bunch of stuff around the house. We were like changing all of the filters in my vents and um filled up the salt rocks in the water softener, mowed the grass, pulled weeds, cleaned out the vent from my dryer cuz I have a ventless dryer. So, it's like you have to take the whole like bottom half out once a month or so and like rinse it out and deep clean it. We popped out all the filters and like took apart the dishwasher and like deep cleaned that and just did a bunch of stuff. And then we were like ran a clean cycle on the dishwasher and then did like two loads of dishes, did multiple loads of laundry. Like we were just doing a whole bunch of stuff and we had a lot of hot water running and then later that night it just was like there was no like water pressure. It was just kind of like trickling out on the hot water side. But the cold water side was still coming out strong, but it was like trickling out. And I I don't know. I don't know how these things work. So, I just thought like, oh, we're just like we used so much hot water these last couple hours. It just needs time to like refill maybe the water heater tank. I don't know. Um, so I didn't think anything of it, but then the next morning it was still the same thing. And it was like literally barely trickling out. And then eventually it just stopped coming out altogether. And I was like, "What the hell?" So, I was googling and we tried like troubleshooting a couple things and it seemed to fix the problem maybe for like a couple minutes, but then it just it still wasn't working. And long story short, I didn't have hot water for a few days. So, I have a whole lot of laundry piled up cuz I wasn't able, you know, to wash it. Yeah. So, I feel like from not having the hot water and then being out of town, everything is just like a mess and things have just like piled up and gotten backed up and it's driving me crazy because I'm one of those people that I can't do mess and clutter in my home. It stresses me out. It just makes me feel like if I have a cluttered space around me, my mind feels cluttered and I just am dying to have a nice clean house and I just want to feel like at peace and just be able to like get cozy in a clean space. It's crazy too like how fast the mess piles up and I couldn't imagine like I live alone and I feel like the mess piles up so fast cuz I like just did a deep clean not that long ago and like mopped the floors and did all that and everything was feeling like spotless and perfect and now it's just like terrible again. But anyway, that's part of adulthood I guess. you know, you're just like constantly cleaning. [laughter] But yeah, today I want to I'm not going to kid myself because I do this all the time where I'm like I make these huge to-do lists for myself and then I think like, oh, I'll be able to get this task done in 20 minutes and it actually realistically takes like an hour and a half. So, I have the day off today. I'm working all day tomorrow, but then I'm going to have the weekend off. So, I'm going to try to get as much done today as I can, but I'm not going to put the pressure on myself of like every single nook and cranny of this house needs to be sparkling clean by the end of the day. We're just going to get started today and do what we can. But I am excited because I got some new tables and I want to start rearranging just a little bit the living room. kind of like continue the process of getting the house feeling finished because I bought this house in December and I've done a lot since moving in here. Like I've done things like swapped out ceiling fans and light fixtures. I've painted um I have curtains up in all the rooms. I you know like for the most part you walk in here and it feels you know it's fully furnished and it feels finished for the most part but there's still things that I would like to do. So let me show you what I'm envisioning and what I want to do. So the living room obviously is a mess right now. So disregard that. But I feel like it needs a little bit more something to like make it feel truly like homey and a little more cozy. So like I have this bookshelf over here and this dead plant. I finally there was like one leaf that was still alive. So I was like, "Oh, maybe it's salvageable." No, it's all dead now. So I need to just toss that. But I really want to fill this up with plants and like just I don't know some more like cute decor things. I want more photos. When I was visiting my parents a few months ago, we were going through old photo albums and I brought back with me a stack of pictures from my childhood. And I want to get more photo frames and just have those pictures throughout the house. And like even up here, I love this lamp, by the way. I found it in HomeGoods months ago. But like even up here, I put this random vase here, but like it just feels kind of incomplete. I don't I don't know. So, what's in those boxes over there? I got a narrow table that I'm going to put along this wall here. I'm going to take this little round table and I'm going to put it over there. I know a lot of people had suggested to me a long time ago to put that table in between those two chairs and I agree. I think that is a good idea. I just kept it there for now cuz like I sit on this side of the couch a lot and I needed a table to like put drinks and stuff down. But yeah, I want to move that between the two chairs. Like obviously I'll scooch them over a little bit. And then on the table, I just want to put plants and some framed photos and things like that. It's just I feel like it's a way to like fill in this area a little bit more and also like a good way to add more decor and just make it feel a little more cozy. And then I'm think I'm going to take this basket that I have extra throw blankets in. And I'm going to move this over here where this fake plant is. And then I'm going to put this in the room upstairs. That's going to be a project for another time. Maybe put the basket over here. So then that way this will like clear out this area. So then I can put something else on the side of the TV. I thought about mounting the TV, but because of where the thermostat is on the wall, I don't like block that. And I guess I could like pull the TV out a little bit. I don't know. We'll see. I also don't know. Like I wouldn't be able to put it up too much higher because of the way like the stairs are right there. Um, but it would be nice because it would like clear up some space down here and then I could put like more decor there. And especially like during the different seasons, I do like putting garland on top of the TV stand. So, I probably will end up mounting it, but obviously that's not happening right now. And then in the dining room, again, it's a mess, so excuse that. This room has been like the catch-all room since I moved into this house. So, it's still uh kind of like that. I'm really hoping once the weather cools off cuz a lot of this stuff is like outdoor backyard things and once I can get the backyard fixed up a little bit more, all of this will be put away and decluttered and I'll actually get to use my dining room cuz I really love this room. So, I have like my little bar station over here with coffee. I definitely want to put some kind of like tall plant or maybe I could even put that um faux olive tree in here in that corner. I'll have to play around and see how I feel about that. But I do think in the future I need to find something that I really like because that's one thing that I've did in the past a lot in apartments. I would just find art and decor to fill a space because I just wanted to like get it done and have it be filled because obviously like I knew I had limited time living in each place. But now that I'm in a house, I don't want to like just waste money on things that I don't love. So you and there's no rush. So, I'm trying to wait until I find the right piece and then I will get it. So, I would like to put something on that wall cuz it's a pretty big wall and it does feel like pretty empty right now. But then over here, this wall is a big blank wall as well. So, I got another narrow table that I'm going to put over here to again put like a bunch of plants and stuff on that. And I think I'll just like there's so much room back here. So, I'll just scooch the table over a little bit. So, then that way there's still like a nice um wide walkway space over here because this circles around to the front entrance area. And I did go a week or so ago. I had went to Walmart and I got a couple plants. So I got this piece lily and I got this monstera and this poo. And then I have that other pose over there. I think that's all I have so far as far as plants go. But I used to have a decent amount of indoor plants. Um but then my last apartment got terrible light. the lighting was so so weak. So over time and honestly I think too like the last uh 6 months of me living there I think like the energy and the vibes in the apartment were just really bad and negative. And I also was like just kind of neglecting them cuz I had like so many personal life things going on. So one by one they all died. But I get really good natural light in this house and I just want to fill it up with plants. But I'm starting out with stuff that I know I've had in the past that I know is easy to keep alive and is also really easy for me to propagate because plants can get really expensive. And it always scares me because you just never know. Especially if it's a type of plant that you don't have experience with. They can die so easily. And it's like, cool, you just spent all this money on these plants that then end up dying after, you know, a month or so. So, it's good to have ones that are easy to keep alive. Um, but then you can propagate them. And so, you only have to buy like one or two, but then you can make babies from those plants and then, you know, just keep growing your collection and have so many more plants um without having to buy them. And it's just like really cool. It just feels like a science experiment when I do that. So, that's what I'm going to start with first is putting together these tables. They're not super big, so hopefully they should be pretty quick and easy to assemble. And um yeah, we'll set those up. Oh, and by the way, I was telling you about the hot water situation. Yeah, the plumber ended up coming and I was nervous because I thought, "Oh, I'm either like there's some part to the water heater that's going to need to be replaced or I'm going to have to get a whole new water heater potentially." It ended up being something so stupid. My water heater is up in my attic and it has this like monitoring system that is supposed to set off an alarm if it detects water is like leaking into the bottom pan. And um there's also like this box that's connected to it on the wall. And like when I got the inspection done on my house, the person doing my inspection was sort of telling me about like, oh yeah, this monitoring system um you know, it'll like make a loud beep if it detects water. But I didn't realize that it also is attached to a valve and it either will detect the water and automatically close the valve and beep or there's also a button on the box that you can press to manually close the valve. The night that we were like being productive and getting a bunch of stuff done was the same night that the hot water stopped coming out of the faucet. We were up in the attic putting stuff away and we must have bumped the box and didn't realize and hit a button that turned the valve like closed the valve so that water wasn't running through. But because it didn't detect water, it was just manually turned off. It didn't beep or make any kind of noise. We didn't notice that, you know, we closed the valve. So that's all it was. It was literally a matter of pressing a freaking button on this box in my attic. just open and that was it. Opened up the valve and that was it. And I mean, knock on wood. Um, it's been several days now cuz this was on Monday and everything's been working like normal. So, I think it l it had to have just been that we we pressed the button on accident and didn't realize. I feel like every time something happens like a house related thing in the moment I get so stressed out and I panic and then I have these thoughts of like why did I do this? Why I like I miss renting. I miss being able to just put in a work order and have someone come and fix it and replace it. Like it's so scary all of the things that can go wrong or need to be fixed. And it can get so expensive and you know things can happen that you don't anticipate and it's so overwhelming at times and I like I've had my moments where I almost regret getting a house but then like with each thing that happens I just end up learning more and all of these things that were once so scary and overwhelming to me aren't anymore because now I I know how they work and I know how to like handle it and fix it myself, you know. Again, knock on wood cuz you just never know. But, um, yeah, so far things have been okay and I have hot water again. All right, let's put these tables together. [music] Heat. Heat. [music] Good morning. It's a couple days later. It's Monday. Sorry I ended up cutting that last clip kind of short. I'm going to show you how the new tables look. This weekend was so good. It was so productive. Sorry I didn't vlog. Um, I [sighs and gasps] ended up getting oo an IUD put in, a copper IUD, and um, it's I mean I I don't know. I feel okay now. Just a little crampy, but it was kind of rough that first day, not going to lie. And then yesterday, I was feeling like still crampy, but way better. and I just had the itch to deep clean. So, I did finally like all the laundry that I had piled up. I put all of that away. I deep cleaned my bedroom and the two bathrooms downstairs. Upstairs, honestly, like never really gets used, so I just focused on downstairs. So, yeah, things are coming along and it's feeling nice and clean and fresh in here, which I love. I am currently making my hyperfixation meal. Let me know if you are like this too. I don't know. I feel like I've heard that it's can be ADHD related, which I've never been diagnosed with that technically, but it wouldn't surprise me if I have it. Um, but I will get obsessed with a certain meal, a certain song, a certain drink, and it'll be all that I want to consume. And I just like will not get sick of it. And I will just consume it over and over and over and over and over every single day for a few weeks to a few months. And right now, one of my hyperfixations has been bruseta, which I've always loved, but I don't know. Lately, I um I made it one day a couple weeks ago, and now it's just like I crave it every single day. [laughter] I've been having it almost every single day. It's just so fresh. So, I chopped up some tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil. We're going to add a little salt, black pepper, some extra virgin olive oil, and just a little splash of balsamic vinegar. And just mix that up. Oh, it just smells so good. And then I put it in the center of a plate and I toasted up a little sourdough bread on the side. Oh my god, there's nothing better than like some good flaky bread that like has a little crunch on the outside but then is still soft in the center. So good. And that is my breakfast. It was like the first thing I was craving when I got up this morning. I washed all of my runners last night and I let them hang to dry, but then I've just been putting them on like a refresh cycle in the dryer just to like fluff them up and get like the lint and dog hair and stuff off of them. Um, so I just need to vacuum and mop the floor out here. But that's pretty much all I need to do. I mean, the dining room is still it's still going to be a work in progress and a catch-all room for now. And then I have one final load of laundry that I need to do, but the bedroom, sorry I didn't make the bed, but the bedroom is all nice and clean. Put away all my clothes. I organized all of my jewelry because I had like jewelry and perfumes and all of my travel bags as I've gone on so many trips over the last couple months and I had all these little like pouches and travel bags that were just filled with random things like you know certain makeup products, jewelry, perfumes and it was just such a mess. So, I finally unpacked all of that stuff, put everything away, organized it. My closet is all nice and organized. The bathroom is nice and clean. This countertop, too, just was literally covered. Like, I could barely whenever I would go to brush my teeth or anything, I was like, you know, squished. And I went through like my little um makeup carrier here with my everyday makeup. I couldn't even zip it closed cuz there was just so much stuff. So I went through and took out the stuff that I haven't actually been using on a regular basis. And I put that away with, you know, the rest of my extra stuff upstairs. So now I can close this. And this is just the stuff that I use currently. Um, and yeah, I cleaned the shower. It just feels feels so good. But here is how this area is looking with the little table between the two chairs. I need to fluff these pillows and fix them a little bit. Benny loves to jump up here. I need to also like uh lint roll these, take the dog hair off, but he always loves to sit on that chair and look out the window. Um, but yeah, I really like how this area looks. And then I put a plant back here. And this is looking a little bit more organized. I would definitely love to get more plants and just propagate more like I did with this one. Um I took a leaf from this plant and just stuck it in some water. Um so I would love to just have like a whole bunch on this bookshelf. And then I ended up actually leaving this tree here because I put the basket with the throw blankets and I didn't like how that looked. It's a little too big. It stuck out too much and it just like I don't know. It looked so blank and incomplete and kind of off. So I think I'm just going to leave this cuz I like the balance that it creates with this wall. And then over here is my one table. I decided to just put the basket with the blankets on the side there. And I feel like that fits well. Eventually, I still want to get a floor lamp back there in the corner. So, that'll fill that space up more and also like, you know, fill that awkward gap on the wall. But I really love how the table fits over there and the way it looks under those picture frames. How beautiful is this table? I love this one so much. much. I mean, I like the other one, too, but obviously it's much more simple. And this one just I feel like looks a little bit more luxe and expensive. And then eventually, yeah, I would like to maybe get a couple more plants, some picture frames or something or I'm not sure. It fits really well and there's still plenty of space to walk through over here. So, it is the perfect size and it just fills up that wall without being like too big and bulky. Like, I really think it is just perfect. And then the other thing too that I've been thinking about for the hallway, I had said when I first moved in that I really want to get barn doors to cover this laundry area, but then I saw a photo of someone with like a similar laundry closet situation. And they just had curtains up above, like these big long beautiful velvety curtains. So, I thought that otherwise that could maybe look cool and add some texture and some color and also be like way easier to install and probably less expensive than the barn doors. So, I don't know. Um, I have to think about that a little bit more. You guys let me know what you think as well. Um, it would be kind of nice, too, because I do like to put hangers up on this bar. And, you know, certain clothing items that I don't want to put in the dryer, I like to be able to hang them up there to dry. And if I have curtains, it's like easier to just push them out of the way. So, I don't know. And then I was thinking about also getting like some artwork, maybe like big frames so that I could also cover this breaker box and maybe even put like I I can't remember where I saw it. Maybe Pinterest, but I saw a hallway with like sconces on the wall. So that could be cool, too. Cuz I just feel like this hallway is very plain and bland. And I love the light fixture that I added. Everything else just feels so white and bland. And I don't think I want to paint the walls necessarily because I don't want it to feel disconnected from everything else. I thought I like maybe I could do a cool wallpaper potentially, but I'm not sure. Um, so yeah, let me know if you have any ideas for the hallway. So yeah, that's all of the house updates. Sorry if this vlog felt kind of random. It just feels good to be like back in the swing again of uploading. So hopefully from here I can get back into my normal Monday uploading schedule. Let me know what kind of stuff you guys want to see in future vlogs. And let me know if you have any suggestions, you know, housewise for decor and whatnot. Oh, another thing, too. I really want to replace the ceiling fan in my bedroom. The blinds and the ceiling fan cuz that is like so old and bulky and ugly and I want to put something probably like the one I have in the living room. That's going to be it though for this vlog. Thank you guys so much for watching. I really missed you. I hope that you're doing well. I hope you have an amazing week and I will see you hopefully very soon. Bye. [music] >> [music] [music]
