I currently have every single one of these items in my home now, but I have to admit that sheer curtains are a TOTAL game changer. Which ones can you relate to and which ones can you do without? Lemme know!
With crown moulding and windows 0.5ft lower than that, where do I hang the sheers? Just below the moulding? Will it look weird when they’re open and you can see the wall/gap above the window to the ceiling? Thanks! Currently have white wood blinds and 2 giant windows in my kitchen and one giant window in my front living room. I want to use this tip but not sure how!
Absolutely believe in sheer curtains and plants. They are my number one go-to. I typically worry about mirrors because of my boys but I've got one in the passage and its not been a problem so far. I loved this video and these simple tips. Well Done Julie! I hope the girls are faring well!!
Thank you Julie. Thought provoking as always! I have linen sheers all over the house and nothing beats a sheer softly blowing in the breeze. I also appreciate how you give a tip then let the example photos speak for themselves. Very calming and sophisticated. Thank you for continuing to inspire and educate. 👍
I simply love my sheer curtains and use them in all the bedrooms. The one decor item I struggle with is rug selection and the placement thereof. So far I only have one rug in our home because of this challenge. Thank you for the personal photography tip, I will definitely be implementing it.
I’ll be adding 4 wall sconces. 2 In the living room and 2 at the dining room. I’ve been trying to do this for a long time, and now, after watching your video-I can say that I’m ready for it. Lets go! Thank you Julie! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@JulieKhuu for the Living-room, I picked Zevni Adora 5-in W 1-light black/Brass Modern Contemporary wall sconce, from Lowe’s. For the Dinning-room, I selected Keener Steel Armed sconce by Birch Lane- from Wayfair.
You are my favorite! NOBODY does eclectic like you do, you have the perfect restraint on items, and I love how you pop things with color or a texture, like the curtains with the black trim early in this video…….by the way I adore your pink gradient manicure💕…….love the dark hair, too….it’s striking 🌸😊🌸oh and I have sheers everywhere…love them !
I've watched this video and I'm like check, check, check... I am so so grateful to you Julie for assuring me that the decor ideas I have for my new home is definitely me making the best choices. Super excited to install them!
I love mirrors on my walls, Ive bought mine from thrift stores at great prices. I love having plants. I love the idea of sheer curtains. I always enjoy your videos and they are very helpful.
My home already full of mirrors!!! Plants we in tropical climate hv to be cautious.. Due to mosquitoes...but plants we tk cr. Outside home... Always... Full of flowers nd greenery.. Therefore... 😊😎
I absolutely love sheer curtains. When the windows are open I purposely close them a bit so they flap with the breeze making my home feel like a little getaway haha. I purchased off white sheers about 7 yrs ago and feel they need a refresh but i can’t think of anything I like better! I’m so glad you used this in your video!!
I bought a silver Ikea mirror turned it on it's side and hung it over the sideboard; it has made such a difference in my dining room. Same with plants and greenery in the home. I made the mistake of removing the wall sconces in my living room. I hung up a painting recently, and having sconces would take it to the next level. This will be on my to do list. Also on my to do list are new curtains, so will include sheers with the semi-blackout curtains. Thanks Julie for the advise!
I smiled when you said about your personal photos, and how you replaced that photo of your anniversary (by the way, that photo is beautiful) with the photos of your child. I did the same with my daughters, I wanted big photos of them; but I never replaced my photos with my husband especially in the bedroom. Those photos are my beautiful memories with him. 💕💕
The best interior design tips by far! And the illustration pictures are the best looking interiors and very inspirational. You explain the fang shuei principals so clearly ❤
I am going to be adding all of them.. I knew I needed for example the lighting but I didn’t know the trick you just described.. I will definitely add sheers as well. My house doesn’t get as much light so I am always purchasing and killing plants 🙆🏾♀️ and the large mirror, just hadn’t seen one I wanted but I will . Thanks so much
Hi Julie Wow did not know about that sconce trick! I will be trying that one very soon in the dining room! Sheer curtains are a must in my home bc my neighbors are close and I can see the street. I have a nubbed white silk poly blend on traverse rods downstairs and plain white sheers in the bedrooms. But my windows are very layered. First honeycomb shades some blackout some translucent white sheers and valences and lined side panels. In winter the layers help keep the cold out. My husband won’t let me change the curtains bc he likes the way they work. They look nice but sometimes we all want a change. They are traditional looking. I love kiva she is so practical ! And Nick is funny. See you next week! Margaret 🤗👍🏻
Great video. Thanks especially q aaa for the wall sconce tip. It’s going to revolutionize my bedside lighting. (Does anybody else find bedside tables way too small? I’ve got glasses, tissues, water and books-no space for a lamp.)
This was a very Interesting and eye opening easy yet effective ideas which will make an impact in our homes making them cosy and inviting. Using a large mirror in the entry way (not facing the door of course) reflects light and is important for that last check before you leave your home. Usually, you see small mirrors used in entry ways, but using a large mirror is a great idea. I love the idea of sheer curtains, but this is hard if you have cats 🐈. Thanks for some fabulous ideas ❤🇨🇦
Thanks Julie! I love using sheer curtains. It lets the light in, but gives you privacy. I am thinking of hanging a mirror. I think that is a great idea! For a fun decor item. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain... Put a nice stylish umbrella stand near the front door(put some fun colorful umbrellas in there if you are into color). Or next time you are at a antique store... Or even a thrift store... Pick up a piece of vintage art that would go well with your decor. Change out your decor on top of your fireplace mantel. I like to hang a colorful piece of art that people see when they first walk in the door.
Alas, the hot Texas sun means not only do sheers let in too much heat, but I have to go beyond that and add solar screens to help block that brutal sun. But the real reason I can get shears? My young cats would destroy them. What do you recommend for those with cats when you cannot get sheers or other types of fabric curtains (blinds and shutters are the only things they can't shred)? I recently have invested in plants (real and faux) because I learned I do feel happier with them around, and the internet helps me keep the living ones alive. 😂 I plan to get a mirror for the entry, and lamps orv sconces once I decorate my family room. That is held up by the search for couches so we can coordinate everything... Great tips, it was really just the sheers that feels impractical for cat owners...
I love non-woven shades, not only for cat owners, but for wet areas like the laundry room and kitchen as well. Low maintenance while still allowing privacy when needed 👍🏻☺️
Great tips and easily implementable.. i love how my home looks kind of high end by using your simple tips..the way you explain things makes it so easy to understand n remember.. thanks a ton! ❤
Love your channel Julie! In regards to certain suggestions such as sheer curtains, or wall sconces, etc, can you give good quality resources? There is such vast array of choices out there.
It really depends on your budget, but I love Ikea for sheers. My fav ones are only $15 for a pair. I have a lighting video to source wall sconces- check it out under “lighting” Swati ☺️
I'm completely enthralled by this. I recently read something similar, and it was absolutely mesmerizing. "The Joy of Less: A Minimalist Living Guide" by Matthew Cove
This was a helpful video. I’m going to go through our photos from a fairly recent hike in NM and see if any could be framed and added to our massive stairwell wall.
I love all of these but I have a question about those sheer curtains - I live in an 1860 house in a small city. We have large windows. Running along the floor under every (every!) window is a baseboard hot water heater. I can’t have curtains to the floor bc they would cover the heater. If I stop the curtains a couple inches above the heaters I might as well stop at the window sill. Can I only use blinds or shades? There are a lot of people like me out there. What do you suggest?
My decor is no longer grabbing the pointless vases, dishes, and typical random decor stuff people use. I'll grab souvenirs, trinkets that tell stories, items from my favorite shows and other subjects that I personally enjoy. Feel like not enough people do this.
Same here. I remember rummaging HomeGoods for vessels and decor, but I’ve since donated those and kept the ones I found at flea markets instead Jordan! They have more sentiment and storytelling 🙌
Chemist here: Sheer curtains do not block UV light. Glass [windows], however, will block UV A and UV B--that's why you don't get sunburned in the car with the windows rolled up.
Hi. All your content is so inspirational, and you really do stand out amongst the rest! So Question, sofa and accent chair vs sectional , which looks better and more versatile? Also I’ve always had light beige furniture with cream walls, from leather to slipcover. I’ve never tired of the color, I find the creamy whites so soothing. But was wondering if a slate gray sofa against white dove walls would give similar affect? Being that I’m on the market for a new one. What are your thoughts?
No, the gray against white would give you the opposite effect of “soothing” since it’s high contrast. It will feel more modern for sure. Sectionals seat more people since you don’t have a dead corner. It’s really just a preference Camelot 👍🏻
Love all the tips!!! But would you put sheer in the kitchen windows also? We moved into a home that has blinds that don’t work & I want to take them off especially in the kitchen but not sure if sheer curtains would work???? I’ve been wanting to put sheer curtains in the living room & on our French doors to frame it and now you have just confirmed even more that I should! Thanks 😊
I love the idea of big greenery to ground the corners of the rooms! Love the warmth and organic feels BUT how do you prevent those little gnats?? My husband drives me crazy when he’s constantly complaining of flying insects 🤦🏻♀️
Hi Julie, thanks again for a great vid. I'm looking out for a large leaning mirror for the bedroom as for dressing yes but also as the bed can't go in the command position as a fixed radiator there in my rental flat so for viewing the door..The sheer curtains look great but I may have to be careful as kerbside and currently have dense nets , which need replacing so I now have options. Cheers again :) * Ahh, just noted that the mirror shouldn't face the door - that's a problem as door to right of bed and mirror was to be in r corner ahead ..in line with the door. Damn.Angle from the l corner I guess :)
I have wanted wall sconces for years, but there is no attic space for an electrician to get to where I would need the electrical dropped. Thank you for the tip about the battery operated lightbulbs.
Hi Julie, quick question - how big should a mirror be? Currently I have an empty wall between my sofa and the dining area and thinking of leaning a tall mirror there to make it less bare. Any guide for its size?
Hi Julie! Thank you for your amazing design and sharing professional recommendations for the home! I have vertical blinds in my 1969 ranch home and would like to change to ceiling to floor draperies. However, there are hvac vents beneath every window. What do you do in instances like this, aside from trying to move the vents? Thanks so much! Diana
I would not recommend curtains or operable drapery for these windows Diana, it’s a fire hazard. Try custom inset shades or pre-fabricated outside mount shades to cover these windows. They’re modern and the options for color and materials are endless!
Learning so much, thank you. I have a question, I just bought a home and came with ceiling fans in every room. I don’t know how I feel about the ceiling fans? They are helpful when is very hot but I don’t really like them. I’d love your input on this predicament please.
Watch my video on dated designs that need a major upgrade Luna! Ceiling fans made the list 🙈 I share some great pieces if you’re looking to replace them.
I recently Got my grandmas victorian style furniture, and I would love to use them in my home ( sentimental for me)...but since I have a modern style..I don't know how to do it...I hope you can make a video that talks about these style..everything these days is all modern...Hope you can help
Love the ideas.Thank you. For a renovation, i need 7 new inside doors (how should i make choices : white with straight or curve lines?or should i just pick plain white? Should a door ending a long corridor be different?) I hope that you have a video for that.matter ;)
Doors should all remain consistent, except the front entry door where you can make a statement. Curves are more traditional, straight panels/ lines are more modern. Hope that helps Isabelle! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Hi Julie! This was a great video with wonderful tips. Thank you. Would you recommend sheer curtains in a formal dining and living rooms facing the road?
Great tips 🙂 - I’m very interested in the remote control light globes - I hope we have them here in Australia 🙏🏻😊 ps I have floor to ceiling sheers on one wall in the master bedroom and dining - so changes the feel of the space - the walls they are on are large with a small window in the middle - I wanted to fill those windows in but better half said no 🤷♀️- but they look great anyway 🙂
Hi Julie, QUESTION...I, too, value and love mirrors, however, how can I place one on the mantel without a view of my ceiling if I can't tilt it forward either? I don't want to put the necessary hardware into the wall above the mantel. I've gained so much knowledge from watching your videos and appreciate the difference I've been able to make in decorating my home. Thank you!
Mirrors above the mantel allow more light to be brought in, whether you’re reflecting windows, a view, or a fabulous light fixture. Consider it more about the space and less about the ceiling Sherrill. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu thanks so much for your response! I'll work on adjusting my mindset. Even though our living area is flooded with natural light (❤), I have always loved the concept of a beautiful mirror on my mantel.
I'm wondering if adding sheers over blinds would help with sound absorption. I now have hardwood and quartz countertops. In winter I have a rug in the living room but it still feels hard and a bit noisy.
fabulous content, how are you guys doing Julie? I have been so busy at work is not funny but I did change some of the stuff you told us in a video about she. anyways fab
I currently have every single one of these items in my home now, but I have to admit that sheer curtains are a TOTAL game changer. Which ones can you relate to and which ones can you do without? Lemme know!
I’d love your recc for sheers for 12 ft ceilings..❤️
Decided to have sheers exclusively for our home which felt a bit like a risk at the time but I can’t go back anymore! Love them
With crown moulding and windows 0.5ft lower than that, where do I hang the sheers? Just below the moulding? Will it look weird when they’re open and you can see the wall/gap above the window to the ceiling? Thanks! Currently have white wood blinds and 2 giant windows in my kitchen and one giant window in my front living room. I want to use this tip but not sure how!
Sheers absolutely the best for window treatments. I love them, so versatile and will always have them in my home.
Thanks Jk
Sheer curtains
Wall sconces..
Idea of creating one's own space... To mk it unique
Best idea...
I see myself incorporating sheer curtains, wall sconces, mirrors , large plants
Yes to all! The sheers will provide the most beautiful backdrop, your interior will thank you!
Love the sheer curtain and the mirror ideas. Those will definitely come in handy when I start redecorating my living room.
Ooh can’t wait to hear how you switch it up! 🙌🏻

I’m with you! I’ve had my linen sheers since I bought my home 7yrs ago and still love them Paula! 👍🏻☺️
I added sheers and hung all the way to the ceiling. They look amazing!
Such a chic statement Jennifer! 🙌🏻
I bought a silver Ikea mirror turned it on it's side and hung it over the sideboard; it has made such a difference in my dining room. Same with plants and greenery in the home.
I made the mistake of removing the wall sconces in my living room. I hung up a painting recently, and having sconces would take it to the next level. This will be on my to do list. Also on my to do list are new curtains, so will include sheers with the semi-blackout curtains. Thanks Julie for the advise!
There are battery operated sconces you can install without the need to hardwire Lena! A picture sconce above that painting would be so fab 🤩
The wall sconces tip is a game changer. Thank you so much.
The possibilities are endless with this one Glenna 💡

Hi Julie
Wow did not know about that sconce trick! I will be trying that one very soon in the dining room! Sheer curtains are a must in my home bc my neighbors are close and I can see the street. I have a nubbed white silk poly blend on traverse rods downstairs and plain white sheers in the bedrooms. But my windows are very layered. First honeycomb shades some blackout some translucent white sheers and valences and lined side panels. In winter the layers help keep the cold out. My husband won’t let me change the curtains bc he likes the way they work. They look nice but sometimes we all want a change. They are traditional looking. I love kiva she is so practical ! And Nick is funny. See you next week! Margaret 🤗👍🏻
I love layered window treatments as well Margaret! Elevates the entire look of the room, even with bare furnishings 👍🏻☺️
I want it all, I may be able to do the sheers now, the rest will have to be over time. Great video
Sheers will brighten up the home in ways that will surprise you Shamall 😍
I am waiting to install wall sconces in my dining room once my buffet I ordered from Wayfair arrives!
Wayfair delivers pretty quickly Beverly! Can’t wait to hear how it makes an impact in your dining room 🙌🏻
Great video. Thanks especially q aaa for the wall sconce tip. It’s going to revolutionize my bedside lighting. (Does anybody else find bedside tables way too small? I’ve got glasses, tissues, water and books-no space for a lamp.)
Use a low dresser or chest Nattie. I rarely source “nightstands”

Hi Julie,
Can you please give some ideas of how we can transform a beautiful garage with upper loft area into habitable place.
This was a very Interesting and eye opening easy yet effective ideas which will make an impact in our homes making them cosy and inviting. Using a large mirror in the entry way (not facing the door of course) reflects light and is important for that last check before you leave your home. Usually, you see small mirrors used in entry ways, but using a large mirror is a great idea. I love the idea of sheer curtains, but this is hard if you have cats 🐈. Thanks for some fabulous ideas ❤🇨🇦
Large mirror at the entry makes a statement and allows a full sized reflection of your look Carole! Plus, it’s better for Feng Shui ✨
Julie, Vitchin' advice. No color sheers; what great tool to have in my toolbox❤
I like color inside the room, not bordering the walls Greg 👍🏻
Great tip regarding the light sconce! Thanks Julie!
Thank you for watching Kasey! 🙏🏻☺️
Growing up, we always had sheers. My mother wouldn’t put up any window treatment that didn’t include sheers. I love them.

I love all of these but I have a question about those sheer curtains - I live in an 1860 house in a small city. We have large windows. Running along the floor under every (every!) window is a baseboard hot water heater. I can’t have curtains to the floor bc they would cover the heater. If I stop the curtains a couple inches above the heaters I might as well stop at the window sill. Can I only use blinds or shades? There are a lot of people like me out there. What do you suggest?
I suggest inset mount / light filtering shades for your condition. That will allow you some privacy while still letting natural daylight in 👍🏻
My decor is no longer grabbing the pointless vases, dishes, and typical random decor stuff people use. I'll grab souvenirs, trinkets that tell stories, items from my favorite shows and other subjects that I personally enjoy. Feel like not enough people do this.

I like my sheers without borders- clean and simple. You might be able to find some like you described on Amazon?
i need some big nice greenery asap!
Makes such a difference to brighten up any space Carol! 👍🏻
Chemist here: Sheer curtains do not block UV light. Glass [windows], however, will block UV A and UV B--that's why you don't get sunburned in the car with the windows rolled up.
Most windows have that feature embedded in nowadays Juan 👍🏻 Thank you for watching and sharing 🙏🏻☺️
Hi. All your content is so inspirational, and you really do stand out amongst the rest!
So Question, sofa and accent chair vs sectional , which looks better and more versatile? Also I’ve always had light beige furniture with cream walls, from leather to slipcover. I’ve never tired of the color, I find the creamy whites so soothing. But was wondering if a slate gray sofa against white dove walls would give similar affect? Being that I’m on the market for a new one. What are your thoughts?
No, the gray against white would give you the opposite effect of “soothing” since it’s high contrast. It will feel more modern for sure. Sectionals seat more people since you don’t have a dead corner. It’s really just a preference Camelot 👍🏻
Love all the tips!!!
But would you put sheer in the kitchen windows also? We moved into a home that has blinds that don’t work & I want to take them off especially in the kitchen but not sure if sheer curtains would work????
I’ve been wanting to put sheer curtains in the living room & on our French doors to frame it and now you have just confirmed even more that I should! Thanks 😊
I like non-woven window shades in the kitchen. It’s easier to clean, especially if it’s by the sink HoneyB
Love the idea for sheer draperies. Any ideas on where to buy them? Budget friendly!
Try IKEA. They seem to have a good selection and they're budget friendly.
Exactly what Cheryl suggested. IKEA has some fabulous, inexpensive options Anna 👍🏻
Julie, would you recommend placing a huge mirror (landscape oriented) on a wall, right above a sofa?
Love your vids! ❤
In another video, she said don't put mirrors behind your head
No mirrors behind/ above where you sit regularly
Great list Julie. I will follow all 🥰
Let me know which you love best Saro! 👍🏻☺️
Julie having a tall plant is my favourite. That plant must have architectural look. ♥️♥️♥️
I love the idea of big greenery to ground the corners of the rooms! Love the warmth and organic feels BUT how do you prevent those little gnats?? My husband drives me crazy when he’s constantly complaining of flying insects 🤦🏻♀️
I have a video on how to get rid of gnats for good Linda! We’re almost at 1M views, check it out 🙏🏻☺️
Can you like some great sheer curtains !!!
Yes I have my faves linked in the ultimate guide to window treatments video Sophia! Check the description box ☺️
Love the battery operated idea. Is there one you recommend?? Thank you!
Amazon has a TON, I’ll round em up in the next video! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu thank you! Your tips and tricks have saved me in furnishing my new home, thank you for always being there!
Julie, these are great ideas I can incorporate into my decor ! I love Kiva n she's fun! Good chnl.
Love Kiva! She’s a riot!
Hi Julie, thanks again for a great vid. I'm looking out for a large leaning mirror for the bedroom as for dressing yes but also as the bed can't go in the command position as a fixed radiator there in my rental flat so for viewing the door..The sheer curtains look great but I may have to be careful as kerbside and currently have dense nets , which need replacing so I now have options. Cheers again :) * Ahh, just noted that the mirror shouldn't face the door - that's a problem as door to right of bed and mirror was to be in r corner ahead ..in line with the door. Damn.Angle from the l corner I guess :)
I love the mirror in the common areas- great for beside entry so you (and your guests) can check yourself out before you come/go. Just a thought!
I have wanted wall sconces for years, but there is no attic space for an electrician to get to where I would need the electrical dropped. Thank you for the tip about the battery operated lightbulbs.
Hope it works out beautifully for your space Rosemary 💡✨
Hi Julie, quick question - how big should a mirror be? Currently I have an empty wall between my sofa and the dining area and thinking of leaning a tall mirror there to make it less bare. Any guide for its size?
Watch my video on how to create a focal point in the living room Paula. It’s not about the wall size. It’s all about what’s going on in front of it
Hi Julie! Thank you for your amazing design and sharing professional recommendations for the home! I have vertical blinds in my 1969 ranch home and would like to change to ceiling to floor draperies. However, there are hvac vents beneath every window. What do you do in instances like this, aside from trying to move the vents? Thanks so much! Diana
I would not recommend curtains or operable drapery for these windows Diana, it’s a fire hazard. Try custom inset shades or pre-fabricated outside mount shades to cover these windows. They’re modern and the options for color and materials are endless!
Learning so much, thank you. I have a question, I just bought a home and came with ceiling fans in every room. I don’t know how I feel about the ceiling fans? They are helpful when is very hot but I don’t really like them. I’d love your input on this predicament please.
Watch my video on dated designs that need a major upgrade Luna! Ceiling fans made the list 🙈 I share some great pieces if you’re looking to replace them.
I recently Got my grandmas victorian style furniture, and I would love to use them in my home ( sentimental for me)...but since I have a modern style..I don't know how to do it...I hope you can make a video that talks about these style..everything these days is all modern...Hope you can help
Yes! Check out my video on design trends where I talk about mixing antiques with modern furniture
@@JulieKhuu Thank you!
Love the ideas.Thank you. For a renovation, i need 7 new inside doors (how should i make choices : white with straight or curve lines?or should i just pick plain white? Should a door ending a long corridor be different?) I hope that you have a video for that.matter ;)
Doors should all remain consistent, except the front entry door where you can make a statement. Curves are more traditional, straight panels/ lines are more modern. Hope that helps Isabelle! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Hi Julie! This was a great video with wonderful tips. Thank you. Would you recommend sheer curtains in a formal dining and living rooms facing the road?
Yes, but I would definitely layer them with blackout for more privacy at night
Very nice 👌
Thank you for watching Ashjar 🙏🏻☺️
Great tips 🙂 - I’m very interested in the remote control light globes - I hope we have them here in Australia 🙏🏻😊 ps I have floor to ceiling sheers on one wall in the master bedroom and dining - so changes the feel of the space - the walls they are on are large with a small window in the middle - I wanted to fill those windows in but better half said no 🤷♀️- but they look great anyway 🙂
You can install the window treatments much wider than the window opening to fake a more expansive space Theresa!
@@JulieKhuu oh that’s what we did - the entire wall is covered floor to ceiling - sorry I thought I’d explained better
Hi Julie, QUESTION...I, too, value and love mirrors, however, how can I place one on the mantel without a view of my ceiling if I can't tilt it forward either? I don't want to put the necessary hardware into the wall above the mantel. I've gained so much knowledge from watching your videos and appreciate the difference I've been able to make in decorating my home. Thank you!
Mirrors above the mantel allow more light to be brought in, whether you’re reflecting windows, a view, or a fabulous light fixture. Consider it more about the space and less about the ceiling Sherrill. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu thanks so much for your response! I'll work on adjusting my mindset. Even though our living area is flooded with natural light (❤), I have always loved the concept of a beautiful mirror on my mantel.
I'm wondering if adding sheers over blinds would help with sound absorption. I now have hardwood and quartz countertops. In winter I have a rug in the living room but it still feels hard and a bit noisy.
No, sheers are not sufficient enough Julia. I would opt for curtains with liner if you’re looking for more acoustic properties
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching Grace! 🙏🏻☺️
What would be a good brand of bulb to buy for the battery powered bulb tip

Thank you Constantine! We’re doing awesome, especially the little one. She’s just the sweetest 🥰
