I'm glad you shared that story about the bullies. It's funny how even a very cool girl like you could suffer from this. It really shows it doesn't really matter who or how you are. I got bullied at school, but then everything went great when I went to college. It's important to remember there is just mean people out there... Glad you made great friends in the end. I moved to the South of France a few months ago and I'm only starting to meet some people. Gladly I live with my boyfriend, so it's definitely made things easier.

Hi Paige! My (ex)boyfriend and I recently broke up and now I have to move from my beautiful two room apartment, which I really took my time and passion to decorate, into a small one bedroom flat (36 sqm). Do you think you could do a video on how to set up such an apartment without me feeling like I am back to living in my childhood room with a kitchen? I was thinking about a loft bed but adult edition, so that I could have some kind of living room in there too. I would be so interested in your thoughts! Thank you so much! Greetings from Berlin :)

Hi, I like many of your tips but have to comment on hiding the electric switches or the box. This can be dangerous in case you (the person aware of the cover up) are not around, there is an emergency and nobody can then find those switches. Just something to consider, as “ugly” as they may be they have an important function, thus the most I would suggest is matching the color to the wall or something along those lines, but keep it visible enough.

You should definitely not tell people to cover their electrical breaker panel box. They need to have access to it for safety in case of electrical fires. That’s like telling someone to cover up their smoke detectors. It’s really dangerous to cover up your breaker panel because if you’re in a situation where there’s a fire inside and you’re unconscious and someone is coming into your house (such as a fire fighter) they should be able to find it.
