Continue painting as you do, your paintings have a lot of personality and character. In my life, I’ve seen many paintings which were “technically perfect” but which had no soul. The way you are painting is exactly how it should be, it’s beautiful! Your messy laundry room is not that messy, I have seen worse.
"We've got pretty pipes" oh Elise You do make me giggle , it is so good to have a sense of Humour handy when dealing with things like that . We just had 2 new skylights replaced in our lounge , so lucky we packed most things up out of the way as we even had scaffolding in the middle of the room , and now decided to change how we have the stereo , changing things around ...still dealing with things now weeks later , but just seeing and feeling the difference is enough to keep us motivated...and then You post this timely video , just what I need to spur me on again , so thanks ... I need a LOT more motivation to tackle the Meditation room as I have somehow managed to fill it with racks of clothing ...which is the next room ...after the dining room (OH boy I need a lie down from just thinking about it hahahhaa ) I wish I was You and had only one small room that is messy and the rest of the house so beautiful !! EDIT had to stop video again and smile at Your stick collection , I only just filled a large container with stick dried herbs and pine cones , I do have a great excuse as I will burn them in my courtyard cauldron to celebrate Halloween and Honour My Ancestors on May 1st in New Zealand x
Elize, you could buy those big plastic containers with lids on to put all sorts of tools and random stuff in. You can label the boxes so that you know what each box is for, instead of throwing everything into boxes randomly. I don't know if you have that shop called Action in Denmark? We live in N Germany, 100km's away from Denmark. Action sell plastic containers and all sorts. I find their prices very good. We have JYSK which is a Danish shop here. They have nice bedding, etc. I like their stuff. The pricing is ok. The transparent boxes stack nicely. I have 2 plastic boxes in our bathroom. I put them on the window ledge which is wide. One box with lid contains towels. The other bottles of shampoo, etc. I don't like bottles of things around the bath. The reason why I have to do this is because we don't have any cupboards. I also used bins for paint. I have a ton of spray paints because I am often crafting. You could put up some ikea shelves and hooks for jackets, bags, etc. Quick fixes that won't cost alot. You just need a place for everything. One day you can do work on the laudry room to make a wooden box to cover the pipes, etc. Sonething that slots in and you can pull off if you need to get to the pipes. The builders didn't care about aesthetics. Lol. My laundry room looks untidy because we don't have any cupboards in this old house. I live in an old farm house in N Germany that was built in 1699.😂 It's 325 years old. 😂 As and when the people had money they tacked rooms on. Nothing makes any sense. Your house looks lovely and more modern than ours.😅 The skylights will look great, and brighten up the dinning room. Yay. Your painting looks lovely. The beautiful tulips in the blue vase look pretty. Take care Elize, I hope you feel better and that your skylight project goes easily and effortlessly. 💐🤗
Elise, you so often have some disclaimer about your videos, but honestly, I just love hanging out with you on your ordinary days. You capture so much beauty in every video. Please don't be so hard on yourself.
Elise, instead of buying another mat for your living room exit/entrance please consider using your new laundry room as a ‘mud room’ as we do in America. You can keep your overalls on a hook and your outdoor shoes neatly separated from your living quarters.
What to try in your veggie patch:- Swiss chard, beetroot, scallions (I buy the scallions/onions from the supermarket, cut off the root-base with two centimetres to spare, then use the scallion in your cooking, push the root base into the ground . . . onions for free!).
Please Elise be happy to be 30 and in good health. I am 64 and when I was 30 I was in the time of caring a big cancer. So be very happy please, 30 is not the end of your nice life. It’s a new lovely life in front of you ;-) Love from France.
So nice Elise. You have done a wonderful job of everything you set your sights on. Moreover, you are an inspiration to us all. I am 70 and disabled and love to enjoy how you inspire me to do such beautiful things in the house and garden. Love & hugs xxx
Omg no one is going to judge you. Most people have a room or garage just like that or worse. If it bothers someone just delete them. You don’t need nor deserve negative vibes!!! Hugs from NY
Hi Elise. You could try planting courgettes- they are easy to grow and can be used in so many dishes. Do you have a garden shed? You could make sure it’s 100% weatherproof and then you can store so many things in it. They are expensive but for someone who loves their beautiful garden, a shed is a real asset. All the best of luck with the skylight and many happy birthday wishes.Take care 💖🌸
Elise your painting is pretty good actually. You see the beauty in everyday things and it comes through. I would hang it on the wall. There is a Canadian folk artist named Maud Lewis whose art work you might like. Your picture reminds me a bit of her paintings. Maud was very poor. She didn’t have money to buy expensive canvases, so she used what she had, painting on every surface she could find. She even painted pictures on her tiny house, inside and out. The Canadian government eventually lifted the whole little house up and put it inside a museum where it will be preserved as a work of art. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you about her because she too, had an eye for beauty.
I hear you , my playroom in the courtyard is so full, I can only open door to shove something else in , and don't get me started about the meditation room upstairs thanks goodness for curtains hahahhaa x
You're going to absolutely love your skylights! Not just for the light they let in, but also for how soothing it is to listen to the rain falling on them and to just gaze at the sky. When we bought our house last year, skylights were way up high on our wish list. Speaking of wishes... I'll wish you a very happy birthday now for next Thursday! Also wishing you continued success and much happiness in the year ahead. 🧡🤎
Don't be ashamed darling. I'm a tidy, organized person. I had a room worse than that for two years when I moved in my house. When friends would tell me how perfect I am (LOL) I would show them the the MacGee closet. If you don't know what that is, look up old radio shows. Fibber Mcgee and Molly. You are one of my angels in life who always puts A smile on my face and in my heart.
Elise, my how time flies! It seems like just yesterday you were talking about turning 29! Don't fret too much about what was your messy laundry room. You are young and single and haven't had as much time to accumulate junk. If you had kids and a husband who is OCD (mine was a "pack rat" until I had to really lay down the house rules), then things could be much different!
That fluffy coat would look gorgeous with a strapless fancy gown or with wide-legged jeans and platform shoes! Your painting is beautiful....very well done! You have so many talents! I hope you feel better soon!
I think it’s good to have a messy room or at least a place you can put those things that don’t really have a place to live. Mine is my basement, which I too need to tackle. So definitely no judgement here. I have a suggestion for your 9 pillows. If you want to keep them all but don’t use them often you could get vacuum bags off somewhere like Amazon. You can compress all the air out of the bag which should then be thin enough to put under your bed or somewhere like that. Can’t wait to see the skylights in!! ☀🪟
How exciting! Lots of fun next week! I am glad that you had a slower paced week, I love seeing your paintings. Very impressed by the change that you made in that room - decluttering and organizing are so important to have done for when you work your magic on that space in the future. Enjoy your weekend❤
You could use the laundry room as a "dirt room" to enter the garden from. So you don't bring dirt into your living room and you can place your garden shoes in the laundry room etc ❤❤
Since you asked about your garden -- fresh mint (and other herbs)! You can have it all summer long in your drinks, most animals and insects hate it, and herbs truly grow themselves. Plus the added benefit of having fresh herbs to cook with. You could even move them inside to grow during winter. Careful though because mint will take over if you let it.
A room like that one with the pipes and such is sometimes called a Utility Room. [In US] We had one in the ranch style house I grew up in. It's meant to be utilitarian! ❤
Never have carrots without a row of onions right beside! 🙂The onions prevent carrots from getting eaten by worms. Onions do not need much space, so you also would have much left for some garlic and maybe parsley and celery if you like it. Carrots grow and ripe fast - if you sow them early and harvest them in summer, you always can sow another amount of carrots and harvest again in winter. Carrots stand frost without problems and stay fresh in frosty soil until you use them. So you can have some "winter carrots", too, by using that space twice. 🙂 I really love your videos, each one is a little celebration when it is online on the weekend. I always enjoy it with a big cup of coffee and sometimes have a bread or cake in the oven while watching it. Each one feels so calming, art- und beautiful but also so very inspiring to get shit done, haha! Don`t mind your little caos room! 😀It is not as bad if one can declutter and clean it in one or two days - there are secret rooms in this world which would need weeks! ;-) Migrane, period and potatoe pizza - the way you explained it was so adorable! Greetings from Germany!
Thanks for the video, Elise! I am a fervent follower of your channel but I don't usually write comments. Today is a kind of an exception - you can plant different kinds of lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, green beans - these are plants that are not hard to grow and you will see for yourself which plants grow the best in your garden and you like the most. Your garden is wonderful even now when it is still rainy and the weather is not nice. You are a wonderful person - creative, intelligent, hard-working, and you should be proud of yourself, of all your achievements so far. And when something saddens you or worries you, just tell yourself "There is time for everything." I wish you lots of luck and keep following your dreams! And don't skip a meal :) Regards from Canada!
Elise try planting beetroot, they are easy to grow, you can eat them raw with salad or roast them or pickle them. Love your style, great video as always. ❤
If U can trellis I suggest sugar snap peas they r like pale sweet pea flowers, but r a great fresh eat the whole thing veggie. U may consider beans too. :D btw snails hate "lava rocks" it cuts them so they avoid it. Hope u get a bunch of good veggie out this year. Thanks for the video. :D
Elise 😨! How do you not get grease from cooking and dirt from cleaning onto your lovely clothes. Mine wouldn't last 5 minutes. Apron? Sending love and light xx
I always wonder the same thing. I was an avid gardener for YEARS. I ruined every piece of clothing I wore outside. I was always covered head to toe in dirt.
Thanks for another lovely video, Elise! I LOVE your painting!! You have really grown in your painting skills! 😀 I hope you will display this latest painting somewhere in your home - it is delightful!! Good luck with the Big Skylight Project!!! 😀❤⭐
You could try growing onions 🧅 we all have a messy room , we have to have something to keep us busy 😆 I do agree with you about the pipes and cupboard, how about shelving instead ? I absolutely love that dress on you it’s beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend Elise ❤
Thank you for sharing your gardens again; it is beautiful! The green dress is a gorgeous color and fit. Very flattering. Kudos on your beautiful painting; it is lovely. Good work on the laundry room tidy and early happy birthday wishes to you dear! 🎉💕
Radishes or chiles? No one messes with either. Why do young people worry about being judged so much? I don’t understand. Good is the only judge. He looks on the heart, not on the laundry room!
I love your little painting 🎨 your Tulips are so beautiful.Hope you have a wonderful Birthday 🎂 and kudos to you for sorting out all the things you no longer had use for.
You laundry room is a great space ideal for storage, overflow. It is a work in progress it is a lovely addition to your beautiful home. Your painting is very pretty. Good luck with the work on your sky light.
I imagine everyone has a junk room or drawer. I am so guilty of it myself and, even though I get a little embarrassed about it, I remind myself of that.
Are you kidding me, that's not even a room I would judge as messy. Good God,, I've seen so much worse!!!! You certainly don't have to be ashamed of that. Actually that's a great laundry room🌺 love your videos, so enjoyable, and can't wait to see your garden in bloom🌹❤
Hi Elise, Turning 30 is what I call the great squeeze. When women turn 30 we get squeezed, some focus and mature and others revert back to their 20's. I believe you will be just fine, due to your wonderful positive personality and tenacity. If you don't drop a video by May 2nd I want to wish you the happiest of Birthdays, from one May baby to another (my birthday is May 1st). Take care and stay lovely my dear.
Everything you touch turns to gold. You have incredible taste. Thirty is not old but another learning phase to make every day count. Your laundry is much more functional now you have cleaned it up. I have an empty cupboard shell with pipes exposed where the hot water system was now with heat pump hot water system outside. Eventually will turn it into a broom & vacuum cleaner cupboard but can’t afford the carpenter yet.
2:53 Elise, Marigolds are great to sow between rows of veg for keeping some bugs away. and also looks beautiful. I thought your room was gonna be worse than you said as ai have a junk room and it's way way worse! Lol your home is beautiful and your garden will always be magical.. ❤ for a young girl you have achieved more than people 2 your age xxxx
I enjoy painting also, I’m not looking for masterpieces …. It’s just fun and so relaxing, I’m in another world. Keep painting. That is a beautiful painting 💕🌷🌟 🎨.
So sorry you were under the weather with migraine and cramps...I too suffered with migraines so severe I had to go to hospital, since I started taking the mineral supplement Magnesium malate 400 mg , I quit having the headaches and also cramps. Read up on this mineral and try it for a few months and see if it helps you, it sure will not hurt you at all. If you are low it will take at least a month to build up to normal. Keep me posted,,,,your art is lovely and I understand how it can relax you, as I paint also. Anxious to see your skylight , I do hope you realize what a project and mess it will be until it is finished. Hopefully your contractor is fast and efficent and your weather holds up bright and sunny...Blessings to you sweet girl>
I'm always so happy when I see a new video of yours pop up. ❤😊 Great feng shui on the laundry space! Your flower painting is SO beautiful. The world needs more artists 🎨 🙏 🙌. Have a blessed week!!
Delightful, beautiful, organized and peaceful. Love the soulful and colorful painting, your home, garden, the authentic, grounded and creative way you seem to gracefully move through your day and life. Soon it will be your birthday/solar return. You're the 2nd, I think, my sister is the 3rd, and my partner's daughter-in-law is the 4th. Yay. Gratitude and Love from a (former) red-head mom and youthful "oma" (grandma) near Amsterdam.
You have done so much at 30, own a business and a house, not many at 30 have accomplished similar things. Keep going, you are unique, hard working and talented.
I just love that you are doing your spring cleaning. I did mine yesterday…whew! I have slowly been using up every version of cleaning supply and narrowing down my spending on bodywash, cleaning supplies, lotions, skincare and makeup and hair products. It feels so good to have only what I really need. I don’t have an oven just a two burner electric stove top and a counter top small oven. I do just fine. Your pizza looks so yummy ❤🍕 My Dad used to grow lots of zucchini when I was a kid, zucchini bread, zucchini casserole, zucchini in salads. Needless to say it’s one of my favs lol 😂 I’m going to be 60 next week 🥴 where did the time go. Happy pre-birthday I wish you lots of new subscriber’s so you can make bags of money to do all of your home projects. I know how much you love working on your cute home 🏡🌹
🙋🏻♀️For your garden! Easy peasy and grows big and Delicious 😋🥬👌🏼💕 If you love Romaine 🥬 Lettuce buy from your market and cut the bottom off four fingers, plant Just the Stem under the ground and let the leafy part above the ground. Needs to be watered Every day! In about four weeks you’ll have yummy romaine lettuce 🥬 and as you eat it, take from the leafy part and keep the stems under ground! It grows very very well and fast! 💕🥬🫠👌🏼💕 good luck 🍀💚 Every thing looks Beautiful in your 💕home 💕
Sweet Elise, I was getting migraines before "Gertrude" came to visit every month. It started at the age of 27 and eventually I HAD to get medication due to lasting 7 days, each time. All hormone related for me. Please take care of yourself as I understand how debilitating they can be. Your love of beauty and nature is one the loveliest things to share, thank you for being who you are luv. Blessings XO
Elise, it’s possible to remove discoloration from cigarette smoke on walls. Mix 1 part bleach to 10 parts water, spray mixture on walls, wipe down (rinsing washcloth frequently). Once done, mix 1/4 cup powdered detergent in a bucket of hot water and wash walls, rinsing cloth frequently. If needed, do a final rinse with cool water. Your walls with be so clean! Tip: Always wash walls before painting.
Continue painting as you do, your paintings have a lot of personality and character. In my life, I’ve seen many paintings which were “technically perfect” but which had no soul. The way you are painting is exactly how it should be, it’s beautiful!
Your messy laundry room is not that messy, I have seen worse.
Thank you so much! 🥰
@@EliseBuch You are welcome 😊
"We've got pretty pipes" oh Elise You do make me giggle , it is so good to have a sense of Humour handy when dealing with things like that . We just had 2 new skylights replaced in our lounge , so lucky we packed most things up out of the way as we even had scaffolding in the middle of the room , and now decided to change how we have the stereo , changing things around ...still dealing with things now weeks later , but just seeing and feeling the difference is enough to keep us motivated...and then You post this timely video , just what I need to spur me on again , so thanks ... I need a LOT more motivation to tackle the Meditation room as I have somehow managed to fill it with racks of clothing ...which is the next room ...after the dining room (OH boy I need a lie down from just thinking about it hahahhaa ) I wish I was You and had only one small room that is messy and the rest of the house so beautiful !! EDIT had to stop video again and smile at Your stick collection , I only just filled a large container with stick dried herbs and pine cones , I do have a great excuse as I will burn them in my courtyard cauldron to celebrate Halloween and Honour My Ancestors on May 1st in New Zealand x
You work so hard. Your garden is wonderful. I am going to try that potato pizza. So interesting. 30s and 40s the greatest age. ❤
Your art is beautiful. You do amazing things
Elize, you could buy those big plastic containers with lids on to put all sorts of tools and random stuff in.
You can label the boxes so that you know what each box is for, instead of throwing everything into boxes randomly.
I don't know if you have that shop called Action in Denmark?
We live in N Germany, 100km's away from Denmark.
Action sell plastic containers and all sorts. I find their prices very good.
We have JYSK which is a Danish shop here.
They have nice bedding, etc. I like their stuff. The pricing is ok.
The transparent boxes stack nicely.
I have 2 plastic boxes in our bathroom. I put them on the window ledge which is wide.
One box with lid contains towels. The other bottles of shampoo, etc.
I don't like bottles of things around the bath.
The reason why I have to do this is because we don't have any cupboards.
I also used bins for paint. I have a ton of spray paints because I am often crafting.
You could
put up some ikea shelves and hooks for jackets, bags, etc. Quick fixes that won't cost alot. You just need a place for everything.
One day you can do work on the laudry room to make a wooden box to cover the pipes, etc. Sonething that slots in and you can pull off if you need to get to the pipes.
The builders didn't care about aesthetics. Lol.
My laundry room looks untidy because we don't have any cupboards in this old house.
I live in an old farm house in N Germany that was built in 1699.😂
It's 325 years old. 😂
As and when the people had money they tacked rooms on. Nothing makes any sense.
Your house looks lovely and more modern than ours.😅
The skylights will look great, and brighten up the dinning room. Yay.
Your painting looks lovely. The beautiful tulips in the blue vase look pretty.
Take care Elize, I hope you feel better and that your skylight project goes easily and effortlessly. 💐🤗
Beautiful painting. And you are going to love being 30 - best age ever!
Are you going to grow some Rosemary in your garden?
Onions!
Elise, you so often have some disclaimer about your videos, but honestly, I just love hanging out with you on your ordinary days. You capture so much beauty in every video. Please don't be so hard on yourself.
I love your authenticity, it is SO hard to find!! Your videos bring a little peace of calm to the madness of life 😉 Thank youuu!!❤
Thank you so much, really happy to read that you enjoy it 🥰🥰
Elise, instead of buying another mat for your living room exit/entrance please consider using your new laundry room as a ‘mud room’ as we do in America. You can keep your overalls on a hook and your outdoor shoes neatly separated from your living quarters.
I am now forever going to use “Singing on the last verse” I LOVE that! I love hearing translated phrases! ❤️
I just said the same thing. 😊
hehe in Danish it'd be "De synger på sidste vers" 🥰
That is so awesome!!! I love it!!
What to try in your veggie patch:- Swiss chard, beetroot, scallions (I buy the scallions/onions from the supermarket, cut off the root-base with two centimetres to spare, then use the scallion in your cooking, push the root base into the ground . . . onions for free!).
I was about to suggest onions or leeks.
Please Elise be happy to be 30 and in good health. I am 64 and when I was 30 I was in the time of caring a big cancer. So be very happy please, 30 is not the end of your nice life. It’s a new lovely life in front of you ;-) Love from France.
So nice Elise. You have done a wonderful job of everything you set your sights on. Moreover, you are an inspiration to us all. I am 70 and disabled and love to enjoy how you inspire me to do such beautiful things in the house and garden. Love & hugs xxx
Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoy my work 🥰🥰
Omg no one is going to judge you. Most people have a room or garage just like that or worse. If it bothers someone just delete them. You don’t need nor deserve negative vibes!!! Hugs from NY
Hugs from Ireland ❤❤❤
Do you even live in a house if you don't have somewhere messy? Yes some people live in ultra tidy spaces, but that's not me.
To me that isn’t even messy!!!!! I’m gonna try the potato pizza! I have never heard of one!❤
Mine is a closet, I clear it out every once in awhile but it just fills up again
I was expecting a hurricane in a room and when she opened the door I was, that’s a minimalist’s mess. It still looked tidy!
Hi Elise. You could try planting courgettes- they are easy to grow and can be used in so many dishes. Do you have a garden shed?

Is that it? You should see MY 'junk room' - it's 10 times the size of yours and stacked with items from floor to ceiling - now THAT'S messy!
Seriously! That’s Messy Room amateur hour! 😊😊
I hear you , my playroom in the courtyard is so full, I can only open door to shove something else in , and don't get me started about the meditation room upstairs thanks goodness for curtains hahahhaa x
I love how you wear your nicest clothes to clean a utility room.
hehe 🥰Asthetic to the fingertips.
You're going to absolutely love your skylights! Not just for the light they let in, but also for how soothing it is to listen to the rain falling on them and to just gaze at the sky. When we bought our house last year, skylights were way up high on our wish list.
Speaking of wishes... I'll wish you a very happy birthday now for next Thursday! Also wishing you continued success and much happiness in the year ahead. 🧡🤎
Thank you so so much! I'm soooo excited about the skylights, I'm sure they'll bring me sooo much joy 🥰
Have you planted spring peas? A plate garden...potato, carrots & pea pods.
Don't be ashamed darling. I'm a tidy, organized person.
I had a room worse than that for two years when I moved in my house.
When friends would tell me how perfect I am (LOL) I would show them the the MacGee closet.
If you don't know what that is, look up old radio shows. Fibber Mcgee and Molly.
You are one of my angels in life who always puts A smile on my face and in my heart.
aww thank you so much and thank you for watching my work 🥰🥰
Cherry tomatoes and peppers
In English we would say, they are on their last legs. I enjoyed this video. Can't wait to see the skylight going in. Have a wonderful weekend ❤
Parsley is very easy to grow, mint too, sellery, kale, andive, salad
Elise,the picture you painted is so good,you are really talented.
Best wishes for your collection launch. That's too, will be gorgeous ❤
Thaank you so so much! 🥰
I love your painting! You are a natural artist!
aww thank you so much! 🥰
Happy 30th Birthday!🎈
You have accomplished so much! Stand proud!🙌🏻
Keep creating your Life w/ lots flowers & everything that brings you joy!🥳🎉

Elise I hope you’re feeling better now.
I’m so excited to see those skylights!!!!!!!
See you next week.
Love from NC 🇺🇸
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
anything squash related-zucchini, egg plant, butternut, also cabbage, cauliflower etc...
Green onions are easy to grow and left alone by creatures! 😊
I think it’s good to have a messy room or at least a place you can put those things that don’t really have a place to live. Mine is my basement, which I too need to tackle.

Great idea, then pop them upstairs in attic
How exciting! Lots of fun next week! I am glad that you had a slower paced week, I love seeing your paintings. Very impressed by the change that you made in that room - decluttering and organizing are so important to have done for when you work your magic on that space in the future. Enjoy your weekend❤
You re so young and look at everything you have already created. You have made an online and an offline career for yourself and own a house. 🎉
You could use the laundry room as a "dirt room" to enter the garden from. So you don't bring dirt into your living room and you can place your garden shoes in the laundry room etc ❤❤
The 30’s are EXCELLENT! You will LOVE this new decade and laugh at your old worries. Promise!!
Since you asked about your garden -- fresh mint (and other herbs)! You can have it all summer long in your drinks, most animals and insects hate it, and herbs truly grow themselves. Plus the added benefit of having fresh herbs to cook with. You could even move them inside to grow during winter. Careful though because mint will take over if you let it.
Definetly put mint in a pot.
Bless this Mess! Proof you are human.
Love the painting! Your flowers are beautiful!
Can't wait to see the skylights!!
Enjoyed your video!!
Everyone has a messy spot!
I know I do!😂
Me too!
A room like that one with the pipes and such is sometimes called a Utility Room. [In US] We had one in the ranch style house I grew up in. It's meant to be utilitarian! ❤
The 30’s and 40’s are a fabulous time! 💖🤩
Beets radishes or courgettes would be good fir the veg patch ...the cut flowers ❤ so vibrant
Feel better soon. Your painting is beautiful ..
Have a lovely birthday week. 30 will be great. Looking forward to seeing your skylight project progress. Ax
I wish I could as sitting in your cozy, beautiful living room having a coffee with you and talking and talking!
Another reason smoking is disgusting, leaves that nasty color on everything lol.
Never have carrots without a row of onions right beside! 🙂The onions prevent carrots from getting eaten by worms. Onions do not need much space, so you also would have much left for some garlic and maybe parsley and celery if you like it.

Don`t mind your little caos room! 😀It is not as bad if one can declutter and clean it in one or two days - there are secret rooms in this world which would need weeks! ;-)
Migrane, period and potatoe pizza - the way you explained it was so adorable! Greetings from Germany!
Spinach!!! It’s a little work BUT you eat it all the time so it would be worth it! 💚

And when something saddens you or worries you, just tell yourself "There is time for everything." I wish you lots of luck and keep following your dreams! And don't skip a meal :) Regards from Canada!
Thaank you so much! I grew lettuce by my cottage but it was so attacked by snails, it might just have been bad luck 🥰
Elise try planting beetroot, they are easy to grow, you can eat them raw with salad or roast them or pickle them. Love your style, great video as always. ❤
If U can trellis I suggest sugar snap peas they r like pale sweet pea flowers, but r a great fresh eat the whole thing veggie. U may consider beans too. :D btw snails hate "lava rocks" it cuts them so they avoid it. Hope u get a bunch of good veggie out this year. Thanks for the video. :D
Elise 😨! How do you not get grease from cooking and dirt from cleaning onto your lovely clothes. Mine wouldn't last 5 minutes. Apron? Sending love and light xx
I always wonder the same thing. I was an avid gardener for YEARS. I ruined every piece of clothing I wore outside. I was always covered head to toe in dirt.
That green dress is so perfect on you!
Thanks for another lovely video, Elise! I LOVE your painting!! You have really grown in your painting skills! 😀 I hope you will display this latest painting somewhere in your home - it is delightful!!
Good luck with the Big Skylight Project!!! 😀❤⭐
You could try growing onions 🧅 we all have a messy room , we have to have something to keep us busy 😆 I do agree with you about the pipes and cupboard, how about shelving instead ? I absolutely love that dress on you it’s beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend Elise ❤
Cucumber zucchini yellow squash
Radishes. Cucumbers. Peppers. Lettuce or cabbage tomatoes and maybe zucchini or eggplant and of course herbs.
Maybe grow onions, garlic, or radishes?
Thank you for sharing your gardens again; it is beautiful! The green dress is a gorgeous color and fit. Very flattering. Kudos on your beautiful painting; it is lovely. Good work on the laundry room tidy and early happy birthday wishes to you dear! 🎉💕
Radishes or chiles? No one messes with either.
Why do young people worry about being judged so much? I don’t understand. Good is the only judge. He looks on the heart, not on the laundry room!
Guilty of a natural "Secret Room" ☺️ Love the Romper, it will Always be my favorite piece of clothing style❣❣
I love your little painting 🎨 your Tulips are so beautiful.Hope you have a wonderful Birthday 🎂 and kudos to you for sorting out all the things you no longer had use for.
You laundry room is a great space ideal for storage, overflow. It is a work in progress it is a lovely addition to your beautiful home. Your painting is very pretty. Good luck with the work on your sky light.
You could plant onions. You did a good job of sorting, planting, cleaning, and painting. Your canvas is very good! 😊 I can’t wait to see the skylight!
Very Happy Birthday to you Elise!!!
It’s early, but I wanted to be sure I got it in 🥳🎂😁🤗🥰
I imagine everyone has a junk room or drawer. I am so guilty of it myself and, even though I get a little embarrassed about it, I remind myself of that.
Hi Elise we all have had a messy room at one time ,you’ll get it done .Have a nice weekend sending lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
Are you kidding me, that's not even a room I would judge as messy. Good God,, I've seen so much worse!!!! You certainly don't have to be ashamed of that. Actually that's a great laundry room🌺 love your videos, so enjoyable, and can't wait to see your garden in bloom🌹❤
Singing on the last verse is beautifully put and easily translated. ❤ ❤🇺🇸
Hi Elise, Turning 30 is what I call the great squeeze. When women turn 30 we get squeezed, some focus and mature and others revert back to their 20's. I believe you will be just fine, due to your wonderful positive personality and tenacity. If you don't drop a video by May 2nd I want to wish you the happiest of Birthdays, from one May baby to another (my birthday is May 1st). Take care and stay lovely my dear.
Your flowers are beautiful and your painting is charming! 🏵🌼🏵🌻🥀🌼🏵🌻🌷🌼🏵🥀🌻🌼
I know this is a weird question but you always dress so nice even when cleaning, are you not worried about spoiling your clothes?
Everything you touch turns to gold. You have incredible taste. Thirty is not old but another learning phase to make every day count. Your laundry is much more functional now you have cleaned it up. I have an empty cupboard shell with pipes exposed where the hot water system was now with heat pump hot water system outside. Eventually will turn it into a broom & vacuum cleaner cupboard but can’t afford the carpenter yet.
Love your videos
I don't understand why you never eat at your dining room table. 😂😂
" Singing on the last verse" may be equivalent to "standing on their last leg" in English
2:53 Elise, Marigolds are great to sow between rows of veg for keeping some bugs away. and also looks beautiful. I thought your room was gonna be worse than you said as ai have a junk room and it's way way worse! Lol your home is beautiful and your garden will always be magical.. ❤ for a young girl you have achieved more than people 2 your age xxxx
Why do you always eat in your living room.dont you have a dining table?
I enjoy painting also, I’m not looking for masterpieces …. It’s just fun and so relaxing, I’m in another world. Keep painting. That is a beautiful painting 💕🌷🌟 🎨.
I won't judge your laundry room if you don't judge my craft room.
Those tulips are gorgeous! Your painting is beautiful keep doing it! We love you ❤️🥰😊
So sorry you were under the weather with migraine and cramps...I too suffered with migraines so severe I had to go to hospital, since I started taking the mineral supplement Magnesium malate 400 mg , I quit having the headaches and also cramps. Read up on this mineral and try it for a few months and see if it helps you, it sure will not hurt you at all. If you are low it will take at least a month to build up to normal. Keep me posted,,,,your art is lovely and I understand how it can relax you, as I paint also. Anxious to see your skylight , I do hope you realize what a project and mess it will be until it is finished. Hopefully your contractor is fast and efficent and your weather holds up bright and sunny...Blessings to you sweet girl>
I love that your channel is so wholesome and edgy at the same time. You’re going to get an amazing man one day worthy of your time 💐
Heyyy I've seen way worse my closest is much worse than this
I'm always so happy when I see a new video of yours pop up. ❤😊 Great feng shui on the laundry space! Your flower painting is SO beautiful. The world needs more artists 🎨 🙏 🙌. Have a blessed week!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELISE love Ann uk 🎂🍰🍾🥂🎨🎉🎊🎈📨💌🎁🎀🛍️
Good ideas to be tomatoes different colored bell peppers 🌶️
Delightful, beautiful, organized and peaceful. Love the soulful and colorful painting, your home, garden, the authentic, grounded and creative way you seem to gracefully move through your day and life. Soon it will be your birthday/solar return. You're the 2nd, I think, my sister is the 3rd, and my partner's daughter-in-law is the 4th. Yay. Gratitude and Love from a (former) red-head mom and youthful "oma" (grandma) near Amsterdam.
Maybe some herbs like parsley oreganum or rosemary bush
You have done so much at 30, own a business and a house, not many at 30 have accomplished similar things. Keep going, you are unique, hard working and talented.
Thank you so much! 🥰
I just love that you are doing your spring cleaning. I did mine yesterday…whew! I have slowly been using up every version of cleaning supply and narrowing down my spending on bodywash, cleaning supplies, lotions, skincare and makeup and hair products. It feels so good to have only what I really need. I don’t have an oven just a two burner electric stove top and a counter top small oven. I do just fine. Your pizza looks so yummy ❤🍕 My Dad used to grow lots of zucchini when I was a kid, zucchini bread, zucchini casserole, zucchini in salads. Needless to say it’s one of my favs lol 😂 I’m going to be 60 next week 🥴 where did the time go. Happy pre-birthday I wish you lots of new subscriber’s so you can make bags of money to do all of your home projects. I know how much you love working on your cute home 🏡🌹
🙋🏻♀️For your garden! Easy peasy and grows big and Delicious 😋🥬👌🏼💕
If you love Romaine 🥬 Lettuce buy from your market and cut the bottom off four fingers, plant Just the Stem under the ground and let the leafy part above the ground. Needs to be watered Every day!
In about four weeks you’ll have yummy romaine lettuce 🥬 and as you eat it, take from the leafy part and keep the stems under ground! It grows very very well and fast! 💕🥬🫠👌🏼💕 good luck 🍀💚
Every thing looks Beautiful in your 💕home 💕
Flower Bouquet so Gorgeous ..
Hi Elise, what about some raddish? Must be a good topping for your eggs with green asparagus 😊
Sweet Elise, I was getting migraines before "Gertrude" came to visit every month. It started at the age of 27 and eventually I HAD to get medication due to lasting 7 days, each time. All hormone related for me. Please take care of yourself as I understand how debilitating they can be. Your love of beauty and nature is one the loveliest things to share, thank you for being who you are luv. Blessings XO
Painting is beautiful! So very happy to see you whenever you are on.😘
Elise, it’s possible to remove discoloration from cigarette smoke on walls. Mix 1 part bleach to 10 parts water, spray mixture on walls, wipe down (rinsing washcloth frequently). Once done, mix 1/4 cup powdered detergent in a bucket of hot water and wash walls, rinsing cloth frequently. If needed, do a final rinse with cool water. Your walls with be so clean!
Tip: Always wash walls before painting.
She knows🙂 She did do it to the whole house before painting it. The walls were so yellow and icky.
