Can we talk about how aesthetically pleasing her whole home is.
Right!?
right it's like she lives in her CZcams channel.
S W E D I S H
(As the kool kids wrote "aesthetic "just 5-10 years ago. And, welp, her home looks really Swedish (especially interior decoration/art interested Swedish youth,) with a splash of Los Angeles.
It's a whole vibe. There is nothing outside the vibe. It's the whole thing.
Simone: "This is going to be boring, guys."
Simone, a minute later: "It's kind of like a stripper pole for plants."
She then said âOk letâs go to the bathroomâ
"Still won't date you."
Would love if the cabinet allowed you to move and change the design of the little white pieces
Simone - to be clear, I think I speak for most of us when I say that we WANT you to post videos making all these things. We watch both for the cool projects, but also because your energy is infectious. At this point we'll pretty happily watch most things you make đ
I've actually watched this video twice now because I LOVE these "casual" builds. Makes me feel like I could build something small for my appartment too :)
oh be honest.. you just watched it twice to get double your time refunded. :P
@@markstanden202 shhhhh don't call me out. First it was actually really scary, after the video everything moved backwards for a few seconds... and there I was, back when i started the video... but with memories of having watched it...
Then I wantched it again ^-^
I'd rather skip dinner than skip Simone. And I really like eating dinner.
I am thinking about dropping out of school to focus on my career as a star on CZcams. I already make a lot of money on CZcams. School bores me so much. I need more opinions and since I don't have any friends, I gotta ask you, make
@Anna This is crazy
@Anna poggers
it's like those DIY channels on TV but without the "perfect" host and fake story!
@@AxxLAfriku nah my guy
"I would rather take ugly than boring. still wouldn't want to date you though"
you cut deep Simone
SavageâŠ
This hurted
That part hit me hard, ouch!
Im dead
So savage!!đŠ
In incredible honesty I love this video!! I love seeing the 'small' projects around the house that make you happy and make your life more convenient! The bed step-up is functional and looks good, the plant and bottle holders look sleek and just do exactly what they're made for and the period machine slaps! it's like hydraulic press channel but uterus powered, amazing.
You said it Jade!
Seeing the things you're passionate about is EXTREMELY interesting and cool. Never boring. Please don't stop posting about your little house projects and what not. We love them
Simone drastically underestimates how entertaining she is when talking about..... literally anything.
Sooo True. She really sells herself short :/ Simone you are amazing đ
And how much we love looking at solutions, big or small. The only time I want back is the seconds I spent watching this massively talented, intelligent, creative, entertaining person doubt herself.
Still wouldn't want to date you though.
@@ZesPak we'll just have to live with it.
@@ZesPak na man she's the bomb... Imagine being the one that helps her her her confidence back.... she can rule..
LOVE that plant stand. Would be perfect for my sea of fake plants.
Agreed. The Plant Stripper Pole is awesome.
I was actually thinking it was more along the lines of a cat tree than a stripper pole.
Agreed! Would love to see a tutorial on it at some point :)
My last horticultural relationship was a one plant stand.
I love plants and am always looking for unique ways to keep them in my house and up and away from my dogs, who love to destroy them.
The projector shelf looks like it was part of the original house. Great job! The step for your bed also seems like it would be a bit more fun to get in bed than steps would be. I love the light switches! That plant holder is amazing. Also useful for keeping them at different light levels. The toilet paper shelves are so cute! And they go really well with the wall pattern too. The hexagon flowers are so cute! They really bring the nature theme from your bedroom into the bathroom, without being overwhelming in a space that already has a lot of sensory input going on.
Simone... THANK YOU! I am a male middle school teacher so I have had SOOOOO many young women experience their first period while they were my student or literally while in my class. Iâm obviously compassionate and my wife bought me supplies to keep on hand that a young lady might need (I am a teacher in The Bronx, NY so itâs quite possible they might not always have access to what they need all the time), I can speak theoretically about what is happening to them if they have questions but they donât want to hear from a 39 year old dude so I now have saved your videos with Kotex and will share if my students ever have further questions!!! THANK YOU!

"These house builds might not be the most mind-blowing..."
Your builds don't need to be mind-blowing to be awesome. Your very genuine nature and love of making things always makes your videos great. Thanks, Simone!
What's weird is at the very instance I was reading this comment Simone was saying the quote... Very inception like...
@@Scotty_in_Ohio oh my god. This very same thing happened to me just now AND there was your comment mentioning the exact same thing. Double Inception.
"Which maybe sounds a little bit sad"
NO. I really considered some of your indoor design choices (The "serious just black and brass" edition of the bathroom floor cupboard) and it is really the small beautiful things, that we see every day, that make us happy.
Annndd: I highly appreciate your artistic way of creating awareness for the menstrual cycle. This is beautiful, interesting and functional and by far superior to some people making (in my opinion) gross paintings with their blood (which kinda defies the purpose, at least for me).
I'm a cat person, but there's something about Scraps. So entertaining, and just a bundle of energy!
Am I really the only one who noticed the tiny tools hanging around Simone's neck? What a perfect necklace for such an amazing creator/builder/engineer!!
I really actually love these "quick and simple" builds. They seem way more practical and just satisfying as a way to make your house a home.
yeah I like the "hey I should do that" vibe even though I definitely won't
Would love a livestream of these mini projects! :D
Simone: You got this.
Also, my wife saw the plant stripper pole and said she wanted one, so now I need construction plans. TIA.
I think everyone could use a plant stripper pole. That and the fitted soap holders.
I'm divorced, but I still need to make this. đ
I need the plant stripper pole.
I should post the project files somewhere! But was pretty straightforward to design, two layers of plywood to make the shelves, and then a plywood grommet under each shelf that I glued to the pole
@@simonegiertz That one looks like something you'd find in a catalog of home furnishings
I love this video so so much. So often, women in science/engineering feel that their femininity is burdensome/annoying, but I love all of the home decor stuff, and you opening up to showing us this kind of stuff! I love it, go you!
I love all these projects!!! Thank you for sharing, there can be a lot of pressure to post a long complex and time consuming project, but itâs just as wonderful to see smaller useful projects! It shows people that there are lower barriers of entry into making things around the house đ
Simone: "Looks like it belongs to someone who crochets little tea cups"
Me, crocheting a cozy for my tea cups: Wnder who that is...
"Added this ornament ... You know, kinda if like a joke doesn't land ..." Love her humor XD
I loved the "serious" just black edition, to be honest. With this brass leaf-handles it really looks cool. But i like the serious hybrid organic-cyber aesthetic of "Altered Carbon" too.
@@haifutter4166 Hell yea! Like some futuristic art deco.
Simone: "There didn't seem to be enough for each of these projects to make a whole video about each of them..". DIY channels. Here is a 45 min long video on screwing two 2x4s together that I know you'll want to watch!
People will watch anything involving screwing.
@@TheRm65 =XoD
Link?
@@TheRm65 hey, the US exists entirely bc people like to be screwed...
I see myself out...
The around the house stuff is really cool! Seeing useful stuff being 3D printed or CNCd in a home shop is very encouraging!
LOVE LOVE LOVE that plant stand, I want one!
Also, your bathroom is adorable! I love the tp holders and the cabinet and I think it all looks really good together. You're being way too hard on yourself!
"It's okay to skip this one" thumbnail makes it nearly impossible to skip this one!
"Still wouldn't wanna date you, though."
Cold.
rip
I snorted while laughing causing my display to be covered in sugar water. Unfortunate and yet hilarious, just like your time of the month ladies. đ
@@RikuRicardo Sugar water? Are you talking about colas/sodaa?
@@Karan-Aujla No, he means sugar water. He's an insect.
Now that I'm older, I'm seeing older women. But they really don't like it when I call it...
Carbon Dating.
I know it's a ton of work to film and edit videos in addition to woodworking so don't feel bad for skipping some projects. As a woodworker I know how special each project can be. These are all very inspiring and well done! Thanks for sharing, love all your videos.
Simone, please don't call these useless. Everything is useless until it finds its purpose. The period machines are educational tools :) Keep creating!
Simone's thumbnail: "It's ok to skip this one"
Me: "This looks interesting"
And it was. Idk if that was reverse psychology or you really weren't sure about this, but it was a great video. Love the little projects!
That thumbnail was like a dare for me to watch
lol my thoughts exactly
I love Simone casually slipping in "still wouldn't want to date you though" nice! Classic Simone.
I mean it's obvious but she didn't need to say it out loud, damn :/
Love your work, and your attitude, Simone! Always glad to see you here.
Thank you so much for your channel. Also your TED talk about how you gave up trying to make perfect things was an eye-opener for me.
"you can skip this one"
*queue old captain America meme*
"no, I don't think I will."
@Anna clicked on your link and regret nothing
thought it said captain america ad, bc I got one haha
I didnât wanted my time refunded, now I gotta watch it all over again
Three times here (I was busy the first two looking for the chicken head) Ha!
Those house projects are mind blowing....Wait...I think i heard that somewhere before. Thanks Simone, i especially love the shelf.
âIf thereâs anything periods are good at, itâs taking you off guardâ truer words were never spoken! Hahah
"its okay to skip this one"
"no. i dont think i will."
Nah itâs ok this to skip one
Itâs okay this to skip one
400k people: YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DO ANYTHING!
I'm not a super avid viewer, catching the occasional video, but I saw this one and had almost this exact thought.
"There's like a dried chicken head that she's hidden somewhere and I cannot find it and I'm just really happy to know that it's at least not in my bed...it's very cool and very practical and also keeps dead animals out of bed" OMG IM DYING LOL
Yeah, that reminded me of an episode where I and my SO had bought an ox tail piece for our cat...
He had removed one of the tail bones from the platter and hid it for "tenderizing" without us noticing it missing...
A few days later when I was at work, my SO heard the cat happily slobbering under their dresser...
Only to find the cat going at the greenish brown almost rancid meat of the missing tail bone...
The cat did NOT get to finish his "delicacy"...
Really love that Plant stripper pole. I want a few of those to put around the house near my windows. Sometimes when projects aren't the most flashiest but they serve a good purpose, they can really stick out. Like your shelf. Not flashy but useful and ties the room together beautifully. Keep up the amazing work Simone
I feel that watching these little projects are inspiring. You have done some amazing things.
Simone: "this video is about my uninteresting projects"
143k people: "i n t e r e s t i n g"
I just wanted to say thank you. You're one of the reasons why I'm going to SDSMT for mechanical engineering in the fall. You inspired me to build all of the crazy ideas in my head and push my limits with creativity.
Thats so awesome bud. She's one of the reasons i started my own channeI. Love her work so much
@@DyslexicMitochondria Yooo I watch ur channeI. Absolutely love ur content
my parents and brother all went to SDSMT! Such a gorgeous area!
@@annasquared27 right?! And great engineering programs
Fuck yeah! Cheering you on from the sidelines.
You have a really natural eye for interior design. Its especially nice because you prioritize functionality without it becoming stale.
Life threw you a curve about the same time I got mine. You are pushing forward and I salute you, fellow warrior. Ordered one of your Brain shirts yesterday. My wife loves your stuff, thanks.
popular opinion: simone is very cool
Not an opinion, just a fact
@@dsauce1257 Release the Bimini!
simone: this isnt interesting enough
me: you could talk about taxes and paint drying and id watch it
Simone: "This video is not that interestin-"
Alright I'm in I'm watching.
I love using scrapes....and off the shelf solutions. Very nice videos of ideas.
Keep up the great work of sharing your adventures with us.
First let me congratulate you for this awesome work,
I really liked the fine details you took care of,
Keep the good work done, Bravo!
Simone, I thought these so-called "uninteresting" projects were really charming, and interesting to see, so thank you for taking the time to share them! Also, you stated what I think is the most important part: that YOU had fun doing them.
I think sometimes just watching relatable projects help put things into perspective. You're a person, just like any of us, and the simple home projects you do can provide endless inspiration. Often when watching Adam's "One day builds" I tend to enjoy his shop upgrades or shelf builds more so than his fancy outfits or super accurate props. They're all cool, but something relatable just grounds us and reminds us, famous people have normal people challenges.
Its her over all I think. She is hugely likable, smart.
Shhh this is lovely! I really enjoy seeing the little details around people's homes that they've done to make things nicer for themselves
Guinea Pig portraits are underrated.
Bernadette Banner's sibling has painted some lovely pig portraits with historical attire to swoon for!
At any rate, your home improvements give me some achievable inspiration for my own endeavours so, thank you!
"like a stripper pole for plants!"
"now to the bathroom"
I was hoping she leaned into that a little more and pointed out the connection, lol.
All of these are quite interesting
How do you even know the video literally just came out? Lol
She should do shorter videos with projects like these. They are inspirational for us who'd like to maybe one day start a project
I can tell you are proud of the work you do, and you are enjoying yourself. Keep showing us how much fun you are having. Thank you for the videođ
I really appreciate and enjoy your project work. Especially the small ones as they are a reflection of your philosophies and things that you enjoy! Thank you for sharing them đ
Simone, please for the love of everything, lean into the fact that people find you interesting and the thing you make (big or small) are worth sharing. We love you!
So many fun things! DIY stuff is the best. I want to make a giant gameboy coffee table for my living room
czcams.com/video/x31tDT-4fQw/video.html
Really like the short and sweet blasts of a bunch of stuff!!
I absolutely adore your videos Simone!! And your doggie is the cutest ever
"it's ok to skip this one"
DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS!
I love the matching pattern cabinet doors. I feel like the "grout" lines should be white or a lighter color. That would make them a truer negative of the floor tiles.
This. And making sure that the "flowers" match their position in the floor tiles.
I love this video!!! Smaller-scale projects around your house are SUPER interesting to me, and my favorite is your "stripper pole for plants." The way you're able to make improvements to make your space more functional and also visually interesting is inspiring and fun to watch!
Itâs great to see inspo and such! I love your process! Thanks for posting this!!
I think we all could be forgetting how it is often little projects like these around the house that inspire people to pursue greater and greater DIY projects. Videos like this build confidence and provide a great way to evaluate personal skills. I think these projects absolutely have a place on your main channel if you were so inclined.
"you can skip this one"
After months without new content? Hell no!
Have a like too.
I love this video!!! It shows that I can also make super fun interesting solutions for my own home, even without a 3D printer or bad-A shop full of amazing tools. Thanks for the inspiration and just for being awesome YOU!!
Thanks Simone. Fascinating projects. Really enjoy your work.
Simone: "How much could you realistically love a toilet paper shelf? It kind of just is." ....."I do love this soap holders though!"
Toilet paper shelf: *Pikachu Face*
Hexagons are the best-a-gons, Simone. The tiles look dope.
cgp grey ?
Simone we could watch you build anything ever. Honestly. Donât ever be self conscious about your builds! For real life, theyâre seriously always great to see come to life.
These are great! I am doing little projects around the home, and seeing yours is really good
Simone: "Still wouldn't want to date you though"
Random internet people: "Auch :/ :("
So my Simone will you marry me is out I guess
Why she gotta attack every single one of us personally like that?
That joke put a smile to my face and i liked the video for that alone.
Me, ugly AND boring: Your hopes and dreams can't be crushed if you never had any!
And you just know her dms and email inbox are filled with viewers taking things to far in that regard (im sure that's who she was targeting, not just her general audience)
This isnât boring at all!! Iâm so impressed by your creativity and everything you build, and you have a wonderful personality to make the whole process fun to watch. 10/10 new fave CZcams channel!!!!!đ
Nice! I dig the stripper pole for the plants and your soaps ... little projects deserve appreciation too!! Thanks for sharing
This felt like I was watching MTVâs âCribsâ. The Simone episode. 5 out of 5 stars.
When Simone gets a baby: âOkay guys. This one really took a long time to make, and Iâm not sure if I like how it turned out. Itâs cute, but it is also very noisy and you canât turn it off.â
Well⊠you can actually.. Itâs more like a self destruct button. You shouldnâtâŠ. But you want toâŠ. SometimesâŠ. But you donât, because the baby has taken control. This is your fate now. Bow to your master.
Imagine the kid having a bad day, just hanging around all bored and depressed, laying on the couch browsing through some holograms on a smart phone, while supposed to be doing homework or chores. Simone would see her child and say out loud "Great, another useless thing I made!". It will make the kid feel better, knowing that coming from Simone, it means "I love you sĂł much and I am proud of you".
@@jjwubs1638 no there's a machine for expressing that remember?
@@jakobvanklinken Dat ook, natuurlijk... :)
@@jjwubs1638 it's so weird reading this as someone who speaks German, I know what it says but it looks so strange
I love your projector shelf Simone!
Definitely worth it! I was admiring the plant pole in a recent video. Awesome projects!
"These house builds might not be the most mind-blowing..."
its often the small "un-interesting" things which dont get talked about enough so someone out their not know that it something they could just go a make them self , thank you for sharing
decorating boring light switches đ€©
Simone, these are pretty nice projects :)
I love the simple designs!
Projects like this are great! Small, simple home improvement. Not everyone can make them like you, with a 3D printer and CNC, but it's the ideas over product. Plant stand and shower rack, easily adaptable with other methods. Even the 'tile' cabinet doors... find a floor tile you like, and it's opposite, use one for the floor and the other on the cabinets. It'll add some weight, but hinges should hold it.
Love handmade home projects! Love that plant stand! And the light switches are ingenious!

âitâs kinda like a stripper pole for plantsâ
*Awkward silence*
âOnto the bathroomâ
"How much could you realistically love a toilet paper shelf." Uh, that one, like a lot?⊠No but, its actually really awesome, really like the shape and the colour and i actually really dig the texture that it has.
Also that wallpaper behind it is excellent, too! The bright red really goes with it well.
I actually really like how the bathroom cabinet matches the floor.
and the copper parts shelves are super cool, I may borrow the idea for some of my own bits and bobs.
Keep the vids coming, I got hooked by your puzzle table and look forward to watching other projects!
I love the plant shelf, that was a good idea! And rhe bathroom doors look really cool, i work as a machine operator at a cabinet shop and seeing this made my day! Thank you for the inspiration!
âSkip a Simone Giertz videoâ , yeah let me also try not to breathe while Iâm at it lol
Those bathroom cabinets would look super adorable with some bees on them
Sending love from Alberta. Simone; You are absolutely crushing it. So much respect.
I actually liked the patterns starting to tie the bathroom together
.. black hexagonal flowers in the floor tile .. white hexagonal flowers on the door .. hexagonal trim on the mirror
.. leaves in wall paper .. leaf handles on vanity doors
Itâs great to see your smaller scale projects, theyâre way more accessible and inspiring for people who canât built huge amazing things
âStill wouldnât want to date you thoughâ lol. All the ugly guys heart broken đ.
i felt that pretty deep
Nah, you get used to it. Then you meet someone who DOESN'T say it, and you lose control and start slobbering like a rabid dog. Then they say it.
Ehhh - I thought it a bit arrogant. I'm not ugly or boring and I wouldn't date someone whose life is so strongly influenced by a dog. I know that's probably not a popular opinion right now but, like I said I'm not ugly and not boring and so have never needed to run with the sheeple.
@@Shaun.Stephens it would have been arrogant if it hadn't been for all the thirsty, presumptous and disrespectful "suggestions" she and every other woman on youtube gets daily by the dozen...
@@SonsOfLorgar So two wrongs make a right now? I must admit to having trouble keeping up with this crazy world. Cheers.
4:50 Ooh, i know that one! It's the Lost Cost Fallacy
I love seeing what people do with smaller projects just for ease of use because I get inspiration to do things around my house
This title is like telling your kid: there are no cookies in the cupboard đ
"Where did you hide the HEAD?!" And you said this was going to be boring. :D
I think these are great ideas and very cute. The first shelf really looks good. We use similar ideas when we repair/remodel our rentals. It's a great way to use scraps that would otherwise get wasted and create a nice little feature at the same time. And the bed step idea is also great. I'm going to use that one for sure! I'd love to see expanded videos on these even if they're not very long. Keep up the great work! And remember, sometimes simple is the way to go!
I love the tiles on the bathroom cabinet. They look so cool.
"When a joke fails so you lean into it even harder"
.....UGH, I feel this SO much. I TRY to be funny, but it rarely works out so I have A LOT of these times.
ouch
dont try! just be yourself
