I love getting to take y’all on this journey with us! It has been so exciting. And all of your sweet comments make my lil stressed out heart SO MUCH HAPPIER 🥰 so thank you for helping to keep this season of life FUN. I love y’all so dang much!

[@laila.c.austin]

I am so happy for you! It has been so fun to go on this journey with you! P.S The six dislikes are the people who didn't get the house! 😂

Try a ruggable rug they are machine washable

[@savemoneysaveplanet]

Yay! Thank you for posting! Love watching you unpack this new journey 😘

We love lonnnnnnnnnnnnng vlogs sis 💗

[@allison5607]

I have my microwave in the laundry room on a bookshelf thing because I don’t like the way the look

[@jessicapienaar4170]

Who else won't mind watching Michel's vlogs like all week 😍😍

Omg I love y’all 😭😭

Vlogmas in March!!!

[@kirstysteele2872]

Only three a week 😭😭 I love watching your Vlogs. Less is not always more, just saying 😉 Love your new house and super happy for you guys 😊

If you're having issues w/ the rug and dust allergies, you can do a rubberized foot on your bed supports instead. There are some that come in a sheet or circles w/ adhesive on the back like stickers and ones that are like little coasters.

[@AutumnForest33]

Yes! We use those for chairs, bottoms of side tables, anything that could scrape the floor. But I can see how they could also be good for allergies!

[@ashleyduty8366]

Agree! Same!

[@tulipsinjuly]

Love how the apartment is coming along! Quick tip / suggestion - hang your curtains higher (1-2 inches from the ceiling) to give the room more height! Also make sure the curtains touch the floor if you do raise them up (you may need to replace them but it’s worth it for the higher end look! IKEA has great affordable curtains)

[@Meaghan_grace]

I'm emotionally invested now in you and Brooke buying this house eventually !

[@MichelJanse]

Wouldn’t that be so exciting?! We are already dreaming of building a little guest house since the backyard is so big!😍

[@charlottebuskin4344]

@@MichelJanse That would be amazing!! 😍

[@myrakillough8575]

I’ve probably said this before but your joy for life is just so infectious and brings light to my day. The backyard transformation was incredible and once grass grows it will be even more so. Y’all are going to love that backyard and hanging with Max in your own space. The house is already coming together and I can’t wait to see more! 🌼☀️🌻

[@KandiceBridges]

We’ve been customers of Butcher Box for several years and their products are fantastic. Their scallops are unbelievable.

[@kimberlym746]

The house....the lighting..that back yard...just wow!

[@MichelJanse]

We are so in love!😭😍

[@lexiebrittanie]

Do a Sip and Thrift for plant pots! That would be so cute!

[@shelbyragland]

Love this idea!

[@lillianhernandez9879]

Max looks so happy ,now he could run around that big backyard, love the house can't wait to see when you finish with the decor,so happy for your

[@macaylalynn3234]

My husband and I have been getting Butcher Box for about a year and a half and we absolutely love it! We feel so much better when we eat their meat, versus most store bought meat.

[@christinagray5952]

So happy about these vlogs!! The longer the better!! It's so much fun 🤗💙

[@vikkiskomarokha150]

That backyard is massive! Max is going to love it and you two are going to love watching him run around in it! Congrats on this awesome rental. It’s beautiful and you have an awesome landlord!

[@marthaivester7348]

Thank you for showing us all of the things you are doing I am enjoying so much

[@lunch12]

Michel, our house had pots in the yard too. Our previous owners were older so they had potted plants rather than in the ground. Its easier (less/no weeding). We are changing it out this summer.

[@carissadallke1345]

Idea would be rubber grips on the bed legs so it won't slip. That way you have the rug there.

[@sagesheppard8028]

I love the vibe that you are getting from this new house. Thank you for taking us in your moving journey. I can’t believe you don’t have much to unpacked. I hope you will own this place someday. 💕

[@tiffanilynn89]

All these moving vlogs are making me so excited to move in about 8months. My husband and I have been in a small, run down apartment in a bad neighborhood for 3 long years. Finally things worked out in our favor and we can move into a beautiful townhouse. I'm so excited to have SPACE.

[@ruthgoddard6539]

I just live all these house vlogs and you just seem so happy and relaxed and excited all at once.

[@ronkekoper1225]

Is nice to see you got a new rental, as it is inspiring me, since me and my partner will be moving to a new rental in April! we are moving for a similar reason as you too, more space, and a garden for our dog. Thanks for uploading your journey!

[@melissawilliams3884]

Love that it's all coming together

[@abbiekulinec3246]

Your house is looking so cute! For your plants I suggest the Planta App. It tells you when to water, if that plant is getting the right light, when to fertilize. It's great! I believe the droopy one you got is a raindrop peperomia or a pilea peperomia (it's hard to tell from video), it looks like it may have been overwatered. I would let the soil dry out before watering again. I would put the fiddle leaf in the den next to the tv, it looks like a better spot for him. And with allergies those large leaves collect dust so you may not want it next to your bed. I hope all is going well!

[@helenemoskowitz328]

Good luck with the new move -how exciting

[@xphienie]

the house already looks SO nice, i love it! So excited for more decorating content!

[@carissadallke1345]

Loved the vlog! Tell Brooke he did amazing at filming. And that backyard! That's huge! I hope jury duty is going well. Praying for you girl!

[@moniquehernandez6653]

Ooooh love how the house is coming along great job Michel I love you 💟💜💕😊

[@sharon_rn2066]

For your Pilea Peperomioides houseplant (Friendship plant, Chinese Money Plant) ....bright indirect light and let it get a little dry before you water it. The leaves will start to droop a bit when it’s ready for water. They also ‘sulk’ a few days when they get moved but she should perk up. They don’t do well with direct sun because they’ll burn and don’t like to sit in wet soil. But she should love your bright window as long as you don’t drown her with liquid love! Good luck with your beautiful new home! 🍀

[@donnasadawski6153]

Your house is looking wonderful! I'm so excited for you!

[@debraalfano2851]

So happy for you guys and love the extra footage of sweet Max ❤️

[@ItsSarahThyme]

You should put a fire pit at the end of that sidewalk to nowhere

[@AutumnForest33]

Or some kind of sitting area/gazebo!

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

I am sure the sidewalk probably went to the garden area, it's an older home and everyone had gardens to help cut costs. Fire pit or even a digging area for the dog would be great! All my dogs have always loved their play area where they have permission to dig, bury things and climb!

[@theresa9925]

That is a great idea...Lydia suggested a sitting area/gazebo...maybe both. :)

[@MichelJanse]

I can’t stop googling fire pits 😂😍

[@evelynmatt2000]

looks like there are a lot of good things coming together for you its great!

[@kathyborth6677]

Backyard...such a transformation. Yes, privacy fence fix needed for Max & your peace of mind. If cord is black for tv, etc... maybe paint it white to go with walls. Is it possible to go up to ceiling/attic area & down wall behind tv?

[@aksez2u]

That's a good idea!

[@marlenewalker9515]

This is so exciting sweetie to see you fix up your new place and move in. It is almost like i am there with you. Love the big back yard too. Hope you have a Blessed day sweetie, and i can not wait for the next video.

If you're looking for rug options to help with sliding furniture look into a jute rug. Usually they're a bit cheaper and jute is made of natural fibre so no-pile, easy to vacuum and care for!

[@kathya9522]

You can paint the cable to match the walls and it will be less noticeable. Make a trip to Dollar Tree to check out storage containers and drawer organizers. They have some good items, though not always in stock. Don’t overlook the soft sided bins. And at $1.00 each, you can always replace them when you find the perfect pieces. You mentioned a chaise for your office - in my experience with a chaise, I found it was not a very versatile piece. I wish I had bought a chair and ottoman instead. I wound up giving away the chaise just to get it out of my way.

[@beccamcdouble]

You've come so far since your little studio you had before/right after you got married! I just moved into a bigger apartment and feel like I'm going through the same process as you! We also have the excellent recessed lighting

Also, are you sure you don’t want to get rid of the desk instead of the office couch? Since it’s new, very likely you can simply return it. Lookin great overall!

Just an idea: why don't you put some Amazon affiliate links for other countries in the infobox? You just need one for Italy, one for France, one for Germany, etc. So we can click on those when buying from Amazon and can support you that way!

We took out our microwave when we moved in and figured we’d try for a month without caving then see how we feel...3 years later and we don’t have a microwave! I don’t miss it! Only takes a few more min to heat up food...also when my coffee gets cold I make an iced coffee 😁

[@Lindseyhannah1995]

Instead of putting a rug under the bed just get little rubber stoppers for the feet of the bed so it doesn’t slide.

[@jennyreed3331]

Your house is so beautiful! I'm still in awe of the amount of the backyard space you have. Also the pilea peperomioides in your office should be fine there as long as it doesn't get direct sunlight. They do well in bright, indirect light but full sun will burn the plant. Water once a week when the top 2 inches of the soil is dry and it should be happy!

[@Aaronious86]

Holy crap!!! I’ve never been this quick! Congrats again on your move. Doubt you saw my original comment about it. Would love to hear an update on your health once you’ve settled in. Moving can effect the immune system in such incredible ways, so I’m just curious how you are managing all of the changes. What’s your first impression of your new neighbo(u)rhood and home?

And your house looks so cute and you've got a fricken back yard! It's awesome! Like I said, I'm very happy for y'all. You deserve this and all the good things. 🎉🎉👏👏👏 congrats!!

[@anni6097]

Some "basic" plant care tips from someone who has over 40 of them :D ... Rather underwater your plants! The most common mistake is to overwater. When plants get too much water, the roots start to rot and then there's no turning back. The roots are dead. If you underwater your plants, they dry out but will be way more likely to perk back up! :) Therefore pots always need drainage, so excess water can run out (and they don't sit in it!). I like to water them under the sink or in the shower :) Another common mistake is placing plants where they look pretty and not where the environment is best for them. Each plant has different light requirements. (Some want direct sun, some enjoy evening sun, some want to be very close to a window but without getting direct sun, some are okay with a space that is not as bright...) Also if a plant gets less light, they need less water. If a plant is in an ideal place they are likely to need more water because they photosynthesise more and grow faster. Most plants need to adjust to their new surroundings. So be patient if after you've brought them home and had them for a few days they start dropping leaves, get yellow leaves etc. They come from an environment that was pretty ideal, and they need to adjust to different lighting/humidity/water etc. Hope this helped! :)

[@whitneyhannah522]

Is that a pilea? Mine is crazy tall! Don't water until completely dried out, pot with lots of drainage and indirect sunlight!
