These are the reason why I love her and her videos.

This is what I love about buying your stuff secondhand. Everything has its own story and it's like a treasure collection. You talk about your flat with so much love, you could never do that by saying "oh yeah I just got everything from Ikea" ...

I miss room tours like these, where you talk through it and show all the Nik knacks. Feels like old KZread 😊😊

Tip for the out-of-control tote bag collection: thrift shops want to give their customers a good experience as much as any other store, so I once walked down with that big collection of plastic bags most people have and they were very appreciative. The same probably goes for tote bags, if it’s gotten to be way too many for you 😊

as someone who, likes interesting objects, but is a bit afraid of clutter, I really appreciate how the overall look of your room is not that overwhelming. ps: congrats on your BF's PhD! I know from experience how arduous those final steps of completing your thesis can be, so good on him. And the best compliment as a partner is to show interest in their work. Just start with all the "discussion" chapters if the method-sections are too dry. The discussion is where it gets interesting usually ;)

Definitely dont apologise for having your news articles, book on display. Theyre wonderful achievements that should be recongised, celebrated and cherished. I have a huge frame of the proofs of my cook book on the wall at home where I do my corporate job... it helps to remind me that Im more than just a monthly wage 😂

Love you and your beautiful Home!! I have 99% Thrifted and handmade everything, including rugs, pillows, paintings (mostly mine) dishes, and gobs and gobs of jars with food and spices! You are simply an amazing version of my younger self! I am 72 now and I still love thrift shops and finding treasures to grace my walls and life. I also feel that preowned things have the energy of the previous owners and giving them a place in my home gives them a little honour after someone else has tossed them aside. I do hope that someday some of my treasures continued to be handed down to someone else to appreciate. For all the reasons we feather our nests with these beloved items, helping by recycling is one of the best!

Wow impressive! I just cant help but wonder how much work it is to keep it clean. One of the reasons why I keep it minimalistic is because I cant deal with all this dusting and dont get me started on rugs!

i just moved to a new apartment in Odense, and the bathroom didnt come with storage under the sink. I found the must beautiful dresser, she was white, but i striped her down and covered her with gold the placed she was damaged. She fits the bathroom under the sink as if that's where she was meant to be with her natural wood and im i love with that dresser. It brings so much class and soul to a new apartment building. :)

Very chaotic, very cozy and functional little place you got there! I love it!

I needed this video as a sign to make my display my cheeky items that I have collected over the years. No longer do I need to worry about the sensitive eyes of babes. I love your collections.

I personally don’t mind getting totebags because I don’t get that many and I’m always the friend who brought tote bags and while I get most of them back, I lose them at about the same rate as I get them this way

one of my favorite jar storage hacks is to save all of the gel silica and other desiccants that i get in packages and then i throw a packet into a jar or other dry storage and it helps prevent clumping

@Gittemary

Thrifting is my favorite pastime- it feels like treasure hunting and you’ll have something in your home that no one else has - especially with influencing everyone’s homes seem to look the same…it’s so refreshing to have a collection of different time periods and cultures, even if it’s just a tchotchke or a kitchen tool ❤

Aw you 🥹🩷

I am obsessed with your home!! I loooove the green vibes and the bathroom. A lot of my art and decor was from my grandparents and I love how mismatched it feels with my style. I've only just started to get into antique shopping and buying second hand stuff for homes. Can't wait to make it more homely without buying new.

One of the things I love about my kiddos being older now, is not needing to put everything up high! They understand some things are breakable and are not little tornadoes anymore. I recently thrifted two really neat candle holders; they are made to hold tapers, but the space is big enough to hold bigger ones, they're so neat and pretty and I'm so glad to finally really decorate. Love the bathroom. Cheeky and wonderful.

Such a cosy vibe. It feels like a true home. Not like some peoples houses that look like a set. I'd love to sent you one of my paitings- I had an era where I only painted carrots and I feel like that would fit in well. (I am not an artist, just a hobby). Thank you for this video. Such good vibes.

Haaa, just finished this video with a tea, I saved the tea for now because I knew you uploaded :) I really love the liveliness of your home, because with a lot of tours of living spaces I usually think 'where are all your trinkets and STUFF?!" It's really fun to see your bathroom, because of the huge candle holder.

I like your choice of style, because sustainability can be combined with anything, not just minimalism. Although I consider myself one of them. I also appreciate your love of family heirlooms or heritage with its own history. It touches me deeply. Thank you for sharing your lovely apartment and charming personality.

I loved what you said about trying to be zero waste in a world not designed for it (I paraphrased). Someone once suggested bringing your own containers when grocery shopping. I inquired at my local (US) bougie grocery store (Whole Foods). They looked at me like I had grown a third eyeball. Very disappointing.

I think the tote bag problem happens in certain circles. My tote bags look horrible. Most are stained and have holes. I have contemplated buying some. I have been given two tote bags in the last two years. I also haven’t been to any eco events in the last two years!

I love all the self reference stuff that you have, the pictures, the magazines, really inspiring ❤

I love seeing other people who collect animal skulls and specimens but also advocate for living animals! I’ve been told it is very hypocritical of me, but the majority of the specimens I have were found in nature after death or were thrifted long after they were originally obtained

I agree, we dont need new things, and i do love buying things second hand for numerous reasons. However, if everyone drastically decreased buying new, companies would start losing money and laying off employees, and then we would have a massive number of people out of work. It's unfortunate, but buying new helps keep the economy going, and people fed with roofs over their heads 🤷‍♀️

I have a similar, yet less maximalist vibe. I love your style, although it would be too crowded for me personally. I have mobility issues and need more open space to move around, I would break the coffee table immediately and I thrive best in less visual clutter. But again, I love love the vibe! It's like a museum. Also, I need to know about the skull. Is it real? Where did you get it? Does it need to pay rent?

I dig your bathroom - I saw on a previous video you had a cylinder with a green cross/plus on it. Was that a vintage first aid kit? I’ve been looking online but can’t find it.

There are pros and cons to carpets with dust allergy. It was a theory that removing carpets relieves the symptoms, and that can be true if the carpets are old or very dirty. But carpets can actually help with "binding" the dust near the floor to reduce the amount of dust in the air. With wood flooring the dust is always ready to be whirled up into the air, when you walk around, close or open doors etc. Especially in the height where children have their heads when they sit on the floor to play, there is a lot less dust when the floor has carpets. But if you have carpets I would recommend to always remove your shoes when entering the home, and vacuum once or twice per week to keep the carpets clean.
