    I love this glow up for you and David. As someone who has watched you for a long, long time (when your videos were cool toned and you had a bit of platinum goth/industrial vibe) this new chapter proves how hard the two of you have worked to get to this point. It’s so impressive to see you remain true to yourself (especially with the changes and challenges in the social platform landscape) as you meet these personal milestones. 🎉🎉🎉

    Plant idea: Benjamin fig. It's a beautiful tree and it's so easy to look after. It grows quite quickly, the branches can be cut to the shape that you want and it has these beautiful leaves. I am a plant killer, but this one thrives in my home.

    Flat looks amazing! And here are some plants to look up: - Monstera, either the most common green one, or the variegata or thai constellation of you want some patterns. - Philodendrons are also easy many of them, example: Florida, Florida Ghost, Pedatum, Squamiferum (climbers, grows upwards) or Black Cardinal, Prince of Orange, Xanadu (grows more flat). - Alocasia can grow big, but can be a little harder to care for though, example: Zebrina, Frydek, Wentii, Macrorrhiza

    Love your ideas for your flat. We have a small 100 year old cottage in US. built in Victorian style. We gutted the bathroom (a 60's horrible reno), took out the tub and put a shower using the entire tub space- overhead shower and hand-held on the short wall. The shower walls are the white square tiles you are using in your kitchen backsplash, w. narrow black tile edging. Floor is a classic white w. black accent hexagon tiles. Most of our furniture is either Scottish or English antiques. Sounds like we have money, but actually we are low income and the house is only 700 square feet, but searching and patience worked for us.

    Depends on your light, but if you want a small tree- Ficus Benjamina or Arebequina Olive. Although it was trendy a few years ago- i don’t think plants should ever be considered trendy- the Ficus Lyrata is still great.

    For the plant I would recommend a Fremontodendron. They are perhaps a little more demanding than the most usual indoor plants but they are so stunning it might be worth developing green-tinged fingertips. They have beautiful yellow flowers and can be shaped into a tree or a bush depending on your preference. Just imagine the Japanese vibe of having a small tree covered in perfectly shaped flowers in your home ✨

    I've just finished renovating my apartment in Milan, even though I still have to wait for the kitchen countertop to arrive. My main inspo was you, Jenny! When it comes to furnishing, I'm a bit of a collector, so I usually tend to think more about the one single piece of furniture rather than the whole picture. My dream couch was so hard to find (at a decent price) but it was so worth it. Speaking of desk - do not settle for less!

There are some plants that need little water or sunlight but I don't know their names. I have plants in my home and know nothing about them. I just try to keep them alive. I'm all for restoring Victorian charm!! I love how you stated what you do and don't put on your grandma hahahaha. I've been trying to find new garbage cans that are not plastic, myself, and haven't really looked to into it. Hope you find the right one too.

    I think the mother in law tongue is a nice architectural plant with clean lines and easy to grow. I wanted to suggest for your desk… you might be able to go to a place that has wood for custom woodworkers, and buy a rectangular slab of burl wood, then have someone finish it and put legs on it. I did something similar and bought a live edge slice of maple, and I’m putting low block legs on it so that it’s in the style of a low Japanese bench. It will cost me under $200 total doing the finishing and legs myself; for a five foot long bench.
