    Can you make a video about cat/animal proofing a space while keeping it cute?? We have 2 cats and they scratch up the couches, try to eat the plants, and of course, the litter box isn't exactly a ~great~ view. Maybe you have the same issues, but they're just hidden behind the scenes😅 I love your videos!!!❤❤

    • @m.maclellan7147
      @m.maclellan7147 4 года назад +16

      She mentions her Ikea cupboard that she turned into a hiding spot for her litterbox.
      Trim your cats nails to help with clawing - it's those hooks at the end that really pull the fabric ! Cats nails are translucent. Gently press down on the top of the nail. The nail will pop out. You will see the dark color at the base, that is the "Quick" (the blood supply) avoid that! You just need to trim maybe 1/4th of nail.
      Make sure you buy a STURDY scratching post and smear catnip all over it. Praise the cat when he uses it. To discourage scratching other objects, several ways & you WILL have to keep doing them - as cat by now has a habit of dcratching them.
      1) Foil - either sheets or crumbled bits. Attach to areas cat scratches. They hate the feel of it.
      2) Citrus spray - most cats HATE citrus ! Try it on the BACK of your couch first to make sure it doesn't stain it. If it doesn't after 24 hours, spray in the area where cat scratches. Cats normally sniff before they scratch.
      3) Some cats prefer horizontal scratching, like rugs. Get them an appropriate horizontal scratching post.
      No matter what kind of scratching post it NEEDS to be sturdy. That's why the love couches, they don't move. Make sure to put fresh catnip on it weekly.
      If you're afraid of trimming nails, see if your Vet. Office will show you. It is super quick once you know how ! (Former Veterinary technician)

    • @genksmith
      @genksmith 4 года назад +2

      Melody- this, all of this! What Margaret MacLellan said. Also, a 10-20 min play session twice a day, to help them release that cat energy is good! You can make it a ritual.
      Perhaps at first they won’t get it, if you haven’t played with them regularly before, but they’ll catch on and see that that time of day is for releasing their energy!
      I like what Jackson Galaxy says, you’ve got to give a “yes to the no”. Which is what is so perfect about what Margaret said!
      “No” to the couch, “yes” to the scratching post. “No” to the rug, “yes” to the horizontal corrugated cardboard scratcher. “No” to scratching or biting you, “yes” to a hunt-like play session with a rod and string toy!
      Also, I personally bought a couch with removable and replaceable covers, *just in case*. I got the VALLENTUNA from IKEA, and I know as my own little private insurance policy that if anything was to get ruined, I could just buy a new cover for each piece. It’s all modular..
      Best of luck!

      @feline.equation 3 года назад

      i have a cat and live in a 425 sq ft studio. i honestly left the litter box out. it encourages me to clean it all the time, plus my cat likes it being out in the open. i have 3 more cats at my parents house and they won’t use a litter box that is enclosed, so i prefer mine to be out. as for scratching, i put a gigantic cat tree next to the couch with scratchers on it and my cat goes for that every time instead of the couch. my cats at my parents house are all declawed, but one of them liked to bite our leather dining chairs. we got little covers from amazon and they look fantastic. furniture covers are a great solution. my cat has a chronic upper respiratory infection and sneezes all the time, so i love covers because i can wash them, plus it protects against the claws. last, i keep my cat’s nails super short. i cut them once every week or two.

    I caught a glimpse of that bird cage pendant and saw you are going to do a diy video on how to make one (yay)! I am old (63) but ❤️ your style. I am a feminine, bohemian old hippy! I am in the process of downsizing my overcluttered bedroom, selling a bunch of furniture, painting some, painting my walls from robin’s egg blue with white trim to some neutral (not decided yet) still with my bright white trim. I am changing my color scheme from very colorful to neutral, calm, with mixtures of neutrals, a big natural wicker swing chair in front of a large window. I have some peel off wallpaper for one wall that is a subtle taupe and white print. Do you have any videos that show the pendant in its entirety? I have a work corner in my room that I am changing out from a huge pecan classic office desk to a small Ikea white one and I ordered an office chair that is a beige and white cow print wingback with a driftwood base and antique brass casters.

    That's so funny (because it was such an unintelligent and obviously jealous comment) about the "design sandwich"! Way to turn it around and commission some cool art :) I don't get why some people just want to drag others down all the time. Your style is awesome and I love how the apartment feels both cohesive and eclectic at the same time. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new mystery space!

    Alexandra, you are tops! Perhaps some of the criticisms you are are receiving are nothing more than jealousy/envy disguised as "critiques." You are truly talented, creative. I am a visual artist, and sometimes tune in to your videos to get inspiration, or to just "chill out" watching another artist do her craft.
    If I had to choose a theme to describe your work, I would choose the word "light," in the sense of illumination. The colors, the shapes, the unique items you use, they are inspiring. Keep up the wonderful and beautiful work, you wonderful Canadian! (I'm born and raised in NYC, and visited Toronto when I was 17 years old. I remember thinking, "Oh, it's like New York. Only clean and polite.") Take care, sweets.

    I've always loved your apartment, (the rooftop terrace and raccoons alone are pretty special) but this most recent makeover is sublime!😻 Your décor pieces and furniture sit really well together so that it all looks so harmonious and considered. Plus, the way you've decorated makes the whole flat seem bigger and more airy. You've really thought of everything and I like how you don't sacrifice your aesthetic for functional things such as the plate drainer. You are also looking happier if you don't mind me saying, which is really lovely. Finally can I just congratulate you on the sandwich of design genius - what a way to empower yourself and put that troll in their place, so good!😹

    Wow! I totally loved this tour, it has evolved so beautifully and I love that pink color, it's made me consider painting a wall or two in my own house. I love Boho eclectic, it's my style as well, the only difference is I like purples and blues and pinks, and I'm 62 and probably won't change to neutral colors, I do like a bright white and then I can throw colors in everywhere. I'm an artist so I love color. So I'm thinking that maybe you're getting an office space or a place to do your photo shoots or both. I'm excited to see what is going to happen and I thank you so much for always having such fun videos full of lots of inspiration and ideas that I can try out in my own space. See you soon, stay safe, sending love and hugs, bye for now.

    Alexandra, you are SO lucky to have that apartment! Especially considering how condo buildings have taken over Toronto. I moved to Toronto in '93 after college, and my first few apartments were in houses. I say few because they kept getting sold and I'd have to move. I loved renting in a house because there are so many cool old ones there, but I eventually moved to an apartment building because my nerves couldn't take going through the house selling stuff anymore. I moved to Vancouver 4 years ago, and I'm in a small old low-rise now. Switched from a 1 bedroom to a cute bachelor, and have still to put the place together. Thanks for sharing so much of your home. It brings back great memories of my first years in Toronto. Hope you're somewhere cool...I do NOT miss the humidex there! 😄🌺🌿
