Living Alone Diaries | 24hrs Thrift Flipping Decor, Ikea Mirror Hack + Bedroom! *renter friendly*

[@courtneyclark7955]

You should do a propagation station with all the plants & shelves in the living room!! There are small/thin glass viles/vases/whatever you want to call them at the thrifts all the time! It could bring a whole new life to the neglected plants to take a bunch of cuttings from them and let them root. & it would decorate your cute shelves in the meantime! Love you and this series. XO

[@CorinRae]

Agreed!

[@lindasteinbrenner8065]

Absolutely a great idea! ❤️

[@amysyres3095]

Could you use small glass spice containers?

[@shahbazakram3170]

[@Wheezywatches]

Painting the frames white then using the bright color could help "prime" a dark frame for a lighter color. Maybe taking a dresser out/putting it in the closet would help bring some space to the bedroom?

[@arjumandbano121]

the energy in your videos is everything i want in life so calm and happy and organic

[@SedonaChristina]

Wow what a compliment! Thank you! 💘 Sending big big hugs your way :)

[@zfgergrg]

For the plants; get a planter with a hook on the backside so you can hang it from the bar :)

[@SedonaChristina]

omg such a good idea! And then I feel like maybe I could add some fun things behind too?! Now my brain is buzzing with ideas! 😊 Thank you!

[@sarahr6301]

My exact thought, 2 inch would be way too small for the plants to thrive and be happy

[@chasecollins9708]

@@SedonaChristina another option could be thin glass bottles and then propagate them and other small plants in the water !

i love how when youre doing the brooklinen ad read, your puppy is like “BUY EM!!! *chomp* BUY EM NOW!!!” while jumping around you ☺️ i am going through a slump and have started so many projects that are now just sitting, unfinished. 😞 Your videos help give me motivation.

[@Iki8013]

You are inspiring me to start also some DIY in my apartment which I have been postponing for so long. Thank you! ✌️

[@SedonaChristina]

I feeeel this! Every space I've lived in before this one I kept postponing my decorating/DIY/etc. too! I always put it off, and then before I knew it my lease was up. It's truly been so so so fun and rewarding and oddly quite the mental healthy boost to wake up in a space I feel apart of every day. I can't recommend it enough hehe 😉

[@amyleislar7683]

I love hydroponic pothos! It would be lovely with thrifted glass jars of all sizes and shapes with the vines hanging down. 🌿❤ Spice jars would be perfect for the space limitations!

In a sea of DIYers that never seem to have anything go wrong its so nice to see you always keeping it real!

[@Eucis93]

For the plants; there are really simple plant holders that you can hang pots from! On ikea there’s one type called ”vitlök” in various shapes and sizes if you want to see an example, but I’m sure you could DIY that type of plant holder fairly easily with just some scrap wire 😊

[@Katehsundberg]

Maybe you could do small jars/test tubes for the ikea shelves and put the pothos in water rather than dirt? Or turn it into a sort of propagation station??

[@amandamyththelegend]

Love love the mirror DIY! One of the long pothos drapped around it would look sooo cool too!

[@christinac2547]

Hang hooks from the shelves to attach the pots to!

[@marianab.1807]

the mirror looks sooo cool! also died laughing at the focus face part, i can definitely relate!

One option for staining small wooden items is by just immersing them in stain in a big bowl. I've seen people do it with coffee even.

That mirror looks so amazing! Also, I don't know why, but I would never think to paint frames, but it's such a quick, easy upgrade! :)

[@MissCarlyita]

For the plants, you could get a hanging basket/over the railing planter to attach to the shelves. That way you can add books or whatever behind it too

[@anna-maymoon1001]

Re shelves for plants - you could do a sort of hanging basket situation? Or have a kinda pouch underneath the rail to contain the roots and then put the plants in? Only problem would be watering them could be really messy 🤔 Idk there's loads of space saving planters in gardening shops which might give you some inspiration?

[@Anna_ForFutureAdventures]

The mirror looks sooo good! I ADORE your energy 😍😍😍

[@nikkig615]

for the plant shelving you could put "S" hooks on the bar/railing and hang either propagation containers or plant pots from there! would the shelf itself hold spice jars? if so maybe the shelves can hold upcycled spice jars as a propagation station and then hang the pothos from "S" hooks as well

i might steal that mirror idea! the last people who lived in my apartment left a mirror and i didnt love the border but the cubes are adorable :))

[@fra2346]

OMG the mirror 😍😍 great job!!!

[@LizChaRob]

Those pathos can be clipped and just grown in water. So maybe get some thin glass containers that fit in the shelves. Then you’d have a water pathos shelf. With soil, it probably wouldn’t work as the plant would need more room in soil. Just an idea!

[@LaurenVacula]

I could never! You are so handy- that mirror 😍

[@lesliehyde]

You say "I can't play right now, I'm talking to my friends!" Your dog- (looks) "but I'm your only friend....." Cute pup BTW.....

[@cherylcakes]

You can get pots with a little hook on the back so that you can hang them off balconies etc, you could hang them off the poles on the shelves 🙂

[@jadeharmsworth9285]

Thank you for this video! I'm sick with covid and this is a great pick me up! 🌞

[@ripewickedplum]

Love your space, it's cool to see how you've been making it your own! For your plant shelves you could staple an old shower curtain liner or heavy duty plastic bags as a very long "pot/tray" and fill those with dirt and rocks for drainage you can also cover the outside of it in burlap or other fabric to hide the plastic. This might not be ideal since you can't take it out to water the plants but can fit into your size requirements easily! That or use test tube vases?!

[@SedonaChristina]

OOOOOH this is such a neat idea!!! 🤠🧡

[@scmerlino]

that mirror!!! wow!!! my friend gave me a really old wooden mirror, so grateful for, but it's insanely heavy I guess because it is so old and the glass is thick lol

[@SedonaChristina]

oooooh I bet it's suuuuuper heavy! This one isn't top quality (lol IKEA) and it's pretty heavy. I can only imagine how heavy a well made/vintage one would be! But I bet it's a stunner! 😻🪞

[@cyikes8271]

You are inspiring me to get happy

[@avacepleanu8220]

Hi! I think i would flip the Ikea shelves upside down and hang the plants from the rod => would mean more space for the pots (4 inches instead of 2 🙃) aaaand a bonus little extra space for cuttings or whatever thats small and cute on the top part of the shelf :)

[@avacepleanu8220]

Also pesto glasses are usually the perfect size for propagation and tiny spaces. :)

IKEA SUNNERSTA hanging container for the plants!

hi! I love your videos and have been trying to find a low waste option for coffee and I'm in love with the one you used in here! Do you know where you got it or what its called?

You can cut all the plants and put them in thin bottles as propagations!

[@SedonaChristina]

I'm defs thinkin' about this!! Let's see what kind of bottles I can find at the thrift, maybe! Luv me a unique bottle/jar/planter hunt hehe 🤸‍♀️

[@courtneyclark7955]

@@SedonaChristina omg just now seeing that this idea has already been mentioned 🤦🏼‍♀️ it would be so cute!

[@jessicarodman7629]

Create texture and skip every other block. Can you find hooks and a basket of sorts and hang them from the rail on the shelf?

[@janaross]

New subscriber and so enjoying your content! What size wooden blocks did you have/purchase? I’ve been planning to by the hovet mirror for a while and will 100% be doing this hack!

[@Sasafrass14]

I’d put air plants in the shelves!:) no pots needed!

[@CreationsOfAMoonChild]

Would kombucha bottles fit in the shelves? I have a bunch of the glass bottles that I use as water bottles, but they could be cute pothos planters too!

[@Tal_RakBG]

Dudeeee I just thrifted the same mirror!! Your diy looks so good!

[@kylacurtis8065]

where did you get your bedframe/headboard/combo I'm so in love with it

[@SedonaChristina]

It's actually just a v old bed frame from IKEA! I've had it for 13yrs now 🙈 But I do believe they still sell it and is really easy to find secondhand! It's not the best made bed frame in the world so I don't know if I recommend it, but it's simple and functional for sure! But if you do find one secondhand, make sure the faux wood it's made of is in good condition at the junctions where the screws go in because they're not necessarily made to be taken apart over and over (as I've learned from doing that a few too many times over the years 😂 ). I believe it's called the "MALM" bed frame and the end tables are sold separately but screw in/attach. Hope that helps! :)

[@Dani.Coates]

where is the gemini espresso maker from? I've been looking everywhere for one!!

[@mathildelonborg]

In case you ever need to figure out how many of something you have (like the blocks) you can just weigh five or ten and then weigh them all and divide that number and find out how many you approximately have.

As someone who also lives in the Seattle area, I’d like to know more about that places you go to for sustainable shopping and things like that, I’m new to this and new to the area

[@SedonaChristina]

Honestly, Facebook Marketplace!! It's THE BEST here! 10/10 recommend!! The Value Village in Woodinville is a drive but is also a really great spot, and if I don't have time to head all the way out there, I'll go to the Goodwill in Ballard! And if I have $$$ to spend, the Vintage Mall in Fremont! I have an older video with some of my favorite sustainable spots in Seattle but sadly a few of them have closed since the pandemic (and Eco Collective went fully online but is still locally based for all their deliveries!). But I'll try and do more of that, also sharing the places I'm going/mentioning in my IG stories as much as I can! And I can make a highlight over there! And maybe I'll re-do that video some time soon if that's helpful! :)

[@simplyintentionalkatie]

Love the mirror!!

[@SedonaChristina]

Thank you!! 💘

[@9melissal]

You should have done a coat of primer or at least white before the colors. It would have been less streaky and required far less layers to get smooth, even, non streaky coverage.

[@SedonaChristina]

ooooh! I definitely should have. This is super helpful for next time! Thank you! :)

[@skilltes037]

I have those cubes and I won't use them. I would have sent them to you for free

[@mathildelonborg]

Just an idea but if your bedroom is big enough you could maybe turn the bed so that it faces the other wall. Might give you more usable floor space - but you have probably thought of this already.

[@LilsLife]

Okay, but that bed frame! was it thrifted or can you share the link to it?! Sorry if you already shared this, i am a little behind on your eps!!

[@SedonaChristina]

No worries, I don’t think I’ve shared it yet either! It’s actually the same bed frame I’ve had since high school! It’s 13yrs old, and she’s (barely) still kickin’! Truly was the bed frame I got after I graduated from my childhood bunk bed 😂😂😂 It’s originally from IKEA and I’m pretty sure they still make it. I think it’s the “MALM” bed and matching night stands if that helps! I’d say if you get one secondhand, definitely make sure the faux “wood” it’s made of isn’t cracked in any of the junctions you add screws to because I don’t think they’re the best quality/meant to be built over and over haha. I’ve moved mine (taken it apart and rebuilt it) probably ~4 times and I’m not sure how many it has left in it 😂 So I’d make sure it was relatively new if you find one secondhand (and I defs think you could because they’re a pretty popular make (I think!)]. I hope that helps/answers your question! 🌞💘🦋🧡
