Katie, I love your videos and I always look forward to new content or watch old videos because they are so relaxing to watch. I’m so sorry for your loss! I too had to put my babygirl Stella to sleep and it was the hardest thing I ever did. She was just a 2 yr old puppy and didn’t deserve a short life 😢 it’s about to be a year and I still find myself having crying sessions because I miss her so much! It does get slightly easier but the pain of loss just never goes away. And the missing feeling either :/ I just keep in mind that I gave her a wonderful spoiled life and she was beyond happy with me. Hopefully you find peace in the beautiful memories you created with Sally.
I worked at West Elm in the past. I would never recommend the Chenille, Tweed, or Linen fabrics as they wear fast because it is a thin fabric. Always get the performance velvet for durability or anything that mentions "performance".
I simply stuffed another pillow in the back pillow. Don’t cut your pillows! 😮 buy another down pillow or I used the other cushions since it came with so many pillows.
Hi Katie! I could watch these kind of videos from you all day. Such a good chill vibe. Also, would love to see more staging content/process! I've been a longtime viewer and remember Sally and when she passed away. This type of grieving process should def be discussed more because I know many friends who still have grief about their pets passing years down the road. You aren't alone in that and everyone's grieving process is different too. My childhood cat Stardust was 19 and we had to have him put down last fall due to health issues. I am still grieving his loss because we grew up together (we got him when I was 10). The grief and loss of companionship is completely understandable. I wonder if a grief support group might help a bit more with the healing process? ❤
The problem with amazon is the product is hundreds of miles away and well…. Sellers lie. Shopping at the store, you can see, feel, and smell the product and chose quality. The past decade or so, online shoppng sucks.
I'm so sorry about your Sally. I lost my 17 year old Jack russell 2 years ago and I miss him everyday. Thank you for your beautiful, calming videos. I really appreciate your authenticity. ❤
I’ve missed your videos. I remember your previous sally. I understand the way you’re feeling. I lost my cat many years ago. I had him for 19 years and still miss him a lot. I have since the gotten two other cats and feed about 20 strays in my subdivision. You grieve as long as you have to. Everyone is different. I always hoped you would get another cat or two. Sally wants you to be happy. She knows you will never forget about her.
It’s good to see you post, you’re doing amazing things with your home staging. Your home looks amazing. I’m so proud of you. Sending you love and a huge hug, any loss is hard. ❤
Thank you for sharing about Sally. I remember her, too. Grief is so personal as well as universal. My loved ones (pets and humans!) visit in my dreams. When I wake up from one of those dreams, I feel comforted and peaceful. I wish the same for you, Katie!
Hi dear Katie. It’s always great to see your videos. Please know that your grief for your cat is perfectly ok. I lost my cat, who was the love of my life, to cancer in 2021. I was beyond devastated because she was beyond perfect for me. After one year of feeling extreme loneliness every time I walked into my home, I decided that perhaps a new cat would be therapeutic and the right choice for me. I did do my research, I prayed about finding a cat that would enrich my life as my prior cat had, and then found a true blessing thru my animal shelter. I’ve now had her for over a year and she is very different than my last cat. But the heart and love she has is what I needed and she has helped me move forward. I still slip up and refer to my prior cat by name but it’s ok. I feel as if I was blessed twice because of the little girl I have now. I still miss my other cat so much but the pain has lessened. Never feel you need to handle grief by finding a new cat. For me it took a while and then I felt I was ready because I didn’t want to feel sad and empty any more. Whatever you decide will be the right decision. Blessings my friend.
Katie I have been with you since the beginning and I fondly remember your cat. I have a cat too and I knew we’d get along. Cats are just the best! I’m glad you spoke your truth, you’re not wrong. It’s perfectly understandable to miss your cat every day. I hope one day you will allow yourself to be Mum to another cat. You have a lot of love to give. Cats are so spiritual and will help heal you. Best wishes and sending lots of love to you. Scotland 🏴
Glad to see another video from you! I missed you and your videos! I would love to see not only apartment stuff but more about your life as well. Really liked it how you would talk where you went and what you did and what you ate and what you bought from Trader Joe’s 😄 please don’t disappear ❤
Woo! I've missed your videos! Okay, so your bedroom looks so cute styled! Love the dresser and art combo xx Edit: side note, i have the same little mirrored and lucite vanity tray! Mine was somewhat vintage, from my grandma :)
Thank you so much! Omg I love that vanity tray so much. I saw one at a vintage shop but it was so pricey and then found it on Amazon 🫣 it’s one of my favorite things.
Hi ! Just finished watching! Just found your channel! Loved that you were so thoughtful to explain in such detail! I would like to know what you ended up doing with the pottery barn comforter/insert? I am on the fence on whether to purchase the pottery barn insert. I really don’t want to spend that much but it just looks so fluffy and that’s really what I want.🥰
If anyone is watching this video (2024) there are instructions in the assembly directions on how to adjust the door hedges to not have a gap between the doors.
We have the sectional. Poorly made (we had to repair the frame ourselves because it arrives broken 3 times) so we have seen the entire inside. It's obviously thrown together quickly using low-grade plywood. They use plywood blocks in the corners for reinforcement and those reinforcement blocks were missing on our couch - we had to add them in. We finally got some money back for the couch, but it was still way too expensive for the quality. Harmony seat cushions are thin, too. If you sit down hard, you'll hit the bottom of the couch. It's just a really cruddy, cheaply made couch and an even worse company.
I can honestly say, I have never been more confused about anything than I am now after watching your video. It was a total loss of my time because I am so confused!
