Biggest tip for not killing plants is make sure they get plenty of light. Most plants need a lot more light than people realize. Not providing enough light is what usually leads to plants being "overwatered," because without the proper light, they don't use the water up quick enough, which leads to rot. 💚

Hi, Cas. Your rug is excellent. I don't think it's too large. Living spaces look better if the rug is at least under the front legs of your furniture (sofa, accent chairs, etc.). Also, since you are blessed to have a large living room--I'm a little jealous--if you move your sofa and chairs out from the walls a few inches, that will elevate your living space. ❤️

My dining room table was very similar to yours, and after several years and decor changes I knew it was time for a new one but it wasn't in the budget. So instead I bought a $75 piece of wood, stained it, then my hubby glued (and nailed) it to the top of our existing table and I just painted the legs and the chairs and it was literally a brand new dining set for under $100. It turned out gorgeous. I wish we could post pics here in the comments to show you what a transformation it was.

Table runners make a huge difference. Also layering a centrepiece, like a round tray on top of the runner, then a vase or similar on the tray. I also place mats/ trays or even platters under most decorative items on a sideboard or table, especially with a dark wood table, it grounds the item much better

The area rug is perfect. If you hired a high end designer that is the size they would use most people get one that is too small. Beautiful as always.

I'm definitely a hobby hopper. I have a whole room for my hobbies/crafts that I am slowly purging and working through. Everything from painting, to chainmail, to wire wrapping, to beading, to sewing, to resin, and my craft true love - leather work.

There’s nothing like a sparkling clean, maintained and tidy home. That’s really loving your space ❤️

I’m so happy that you’ve added plants! Instantly makes a space more cosy and peaceful, and you chose well. Your mantel would be a great place for a small spider plant, it thrives on neglect, can be moved around and tolerate a range of conditions, safe to have around pets. Also very exciting once it makes little baby plants! Some things I do that make it easier to care for plants: - take a picture when you get them - helps to remember how they’re supposed to look like when they’re healthy and it’s fun to compare how much they’ve grown. - check the potting medium & drainage, cheap plants are often sold in poor soil so it’s worth repotting them and research what they prefer (and adjust to the conditions in your home). Soil is the most important factor for plants, so make sure you start with a good base. - Try to observe them a little everyday/few days (set a reminder on your phone / do it whenever you do something else that’s your routine, like tidying up the living room in the evenings - regularly and often dust their leaves, with a clean damp cloth gently wipe each leaf. It might seem tedious but it can be a relaxing mindful moment to appreciate their colours, and it can help you spot any issues early on like pests. Short cut would be to give them a gentle shower with a garden hose outside on an overcast mild day, or in the shower, but it can be messy. - err on the side of under watering, especially if they are in a spot with not much light/draft/ warm temperatures (most plants can bounce back when too dry, but with over watering, you can really damage the roots and it will be much harder to recover them) - observe how their leaves/ stems look when the soil is on the drier side and how they change after an hour of watering (my spider plant for example turns a very pale light green colour when dry, the leaves are still in nice shape, not droopy, but do feel softer to touch.When watered it gets back to lush green quickly and the leaves feel firmer. Palms and snake plant are a bit harder to tell just by the leaves, so it’s safest to do a soil check with your finger or a chopstick and only water when the top layer is completely dried out). - if they are in a darker spot in your home, try to give them a little ‘holiday’ every month or so, place them outside in a bright spot (no direct sun rays) for half a day. (Perhaps leave the saucer inside so you remember to bring it back in). Even plants that are suitable for less light appreciate a bit more, you might find they’re doing ok but then when in a brighter spot they suddenly grow faster/put out flowers (for example with peace lilies or spider plants). - don’t try to water on a schedule or with a plant app, conditions in your home can change slightly which can make a big difference for the plant. Always check each plant’s soil and adjust accordingly. It’s useful though to set a regular schedule to check on them, especially for the ones that are ok to dry out, so you don’t loose track how many days ago they were watered (with just those 2 I’d say it’s probably good practice to check once a week, give them a wipe, but not necessarily water that often). - when you have several plants, it helps to check/water them going around the room in one direction (clockwise for example), to make sure you’re not missing one. - dedicate a convenient spot for the few basic tools and items you’ll need, like pruners, watering can, seaweed concentrate for nutrients. For tools, it helps to invest in something that’s pretty and comfortable to hold/touch, so that it makes you feel inspired to use even when the tasks seem boring. Also buy some neem oil spray / concentrate before you actually have any pest issues, so you don’t have to worry rushing to find some. In my experience, many indoor plants are fine with the slow release fertiliser granules you can add every 6 months or so, saves you from having to measure liquid fertiliser in different intervals when watering. - don’t feel bad about yourself when a plant isn’t doing well. There’s a lot of factors going into the wellbeing of plants, and when you’re starting out and live a busy life, it can be tricky to pay attention to all these details. I always thought I don’t have a green thumb, but the fact is, plants are complex beings and most often when I tried to remedy something I made it worse by changing too many factors. I now always think in their perspective, imagine how they’re adapting to the particular spot they’re in, and if in doubt, I water a little less and let them fight for themselves for a week or two, then reassess what I can do. Less is more has served me well, with the exception of pests. The moment you spot a scale or other bad bug, research the same day and take action quickly so it doesn’t become a long-term fight. And whenever I have a plant casualty, I try to remember this quote from J C Raulston: ‘if you’re not killing plants, you are not really stretching yourself as a gardener’ ;)

The off white paint is just great! Your house seems entirely refreshed. Before it just wasn't bright enough to house your personality!

For the plants, maybe buying a light meter would help. It will tell you how much light the plant is getting. Then look up on Google how much light the plant needs. You can also look up the term "low light" to find exactly how light (luxe) that includes. I'm not good with tropical plants but that palm frond-ish plant looks like the space is too dark. You can also get water meters for testing the soil.

The rug is the perfect size. Designer expertise here. I recommend a rug pad, though. And I love the "butthole" art. Looks more like a Starburst to me and its gorgeous!

I missed that artwork. 😂😂 glad to see it is back.

Lol my bestie literally pulled her pants down, painted her butt and sat on a canvas! The art actually looks pretty cool! Why not have your own butt on the wall? 🤣 I love the brighter paint colour! It makes your teal/blue pop and it makes the brown leather feel less dark! I personally prefer brown over other leather colours as it's more organic/natural and neutral! I don't think you can argue with something's skin colour not matching 🤷🏼‍♀️

Even though you changed out the wall color in your bedroom, I'm glad you kept the blue and green accents. I've loved that color combo since I first saw your bedroom in your videos!

I'm so glad!

I am a hobby hopper. I’ve done scrapbooking, card making, sewing, baking, jewelry making…I could go on and on. I never just dabble in a hobby. I buy way too many supplies. I take classes, watch You Tube videos, read about them. I do last several years on each hobby, but eventually something else will call to me.

Fake it to you make it I say. Sometimes we get so busy with life. Our family is six people and we spend a lot of time together. So this has been decades of reinventing our home. Love it thanks again as always a pleasure seeing you.

Hi Cass. It's so easy to grow baby plants! Just snip off a piece and let it root in water. I'm 53, I have a plant that was originally part of my Grandma's plant! She passed away before I was born. I found beautiful and colorful pots in At Home.. I love your makeover!!

Cas, I have been growing orchids since my daughters graduated from high school! I love the Orchid Whisperer on KZread! I learned so much from her. Welcome to the world of plants! And just so you know, I have 51 plants in our house and I Killed the snake plant my daughter bought for me!!! 😳🤣 Don't water it! Find yourself a Peace Lily! Best house plant ever. It will droop when it needs water and perk right up once you water it. Best to water once a week. They bloom all year long. Miracle Grow Potting Soil will be your friend. Happy growing! 😀🥰🌱🌷 Oh, I do propagate my African Violets. 😊

That white paint looks amazing in your bedroom and the citric green touches are great. And may I just say you are looking good girl! I like your total black look and those earrings are very nice too

Your area rug is actually the right size for your room. The prior rug was too small but it’s what you got used to seeing and now your new one looks to big to your eye! You’ll get used to it and realize it’s right. I love it!

🙋‍♀️Hobby hopper here! I too get carried away with each new hobby and eventually move on, and I also fell hard into the plant hobby. For me the plants have stayed though and I now have a more balanced relationship with them💚

I’m a hobby hopper, too!! I went through the indoor plant hobby at the beginning of the pandemic. Now I’ve moved on to outdoor plants. I just started tomato seeds so of course I went and bought every seed of every vegetable because…this is how I do all my hobbies! 😂

Cas your home is beautiful 💖 I’m loving the dark blue unit in your dining area, look gorgeous x

I am so pleased plants are in,as I have been using them as decor for years.

Oh my goodness!! Yes, I am the person to completely research a new hobby to death! I believe the most exciting part is purchasing the items. I also have purchased a white orchid like yours, haha. Hope I can keep it alive too.

Definitely I am a hobby hopper. I love scrapbooking, paper crafting and photography

Thanks!

I definitely love hobbies! I never thought about it as hobby hopping… love it! I feel that I love hobbies so much that I want to do and try everything!!!! Definitely brings joy to my life. Thank you for your encouragement and sense of humor!

Cas, you have instilled in me so much motivation and organizing in my new apartment! Especially being able to focus and love my home as opposed to settle in. This is so important for my mental health too! I know I have a hard time, always have of focusing on one thing BEFORE jumping into the next thing that distracts me, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

I loved the painting on your fireplace. It looked like it even had some glitter in it, which I love and it offsets those two teal colored chairs next to it.

I an definitely a hobby hopper! And...2 years ago, I got addicted to raising and propagating African Violets! Now I have over 100 of them! I even give talks on care and propagation . They are so beautiful and come in so many kinds and colors! Sheesh! I need to get my dining room back!

I totally LOVE the blue artwork behind you!!!

Another fun thing about mirrors is that they often encourage us to smile more (or at least make funny faces at ourselves!) :D Thanks for a fun video!

Hobby Hopper Here!!!! I do the research, I spend so much time watching videos and wanting to do the thing, but then never actually do the thing. Or I do it once, I love it, I'm hooked, but then life happens and I don't get back to it.
