    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. I’m 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 it’s 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 don’t 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!

      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 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.

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".

    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.

    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!
