Here in the USA we call them slumlords. They buy buildings and collect the rent and never fix anything. It's very hard to get a good landlord. Just think if you could find a house with a garden and room for your web shop you wouldn't need three places so it might even save you money.
The mold is most dangerous when it's disturbed - that's when the spores get released into the air and you end up breathing them in. Don't try to scrub or clean it yourself, or if you do make sure you're wearing an appropriate mask.
I actually appreciate the honesty and transparency. I would really kind of not enjoy it if everything you showed us was " perfect." That would be annoying, to be honest. I've lived in places too, where I was embarrassed about my place so I know the feeling. Don't feel bad, it's not YOU. It's the apartment. Good luck in your search, here's hoping something good is around the corner.🙂🤞
I was missing you. I get that you need a break or some time when the blues hit. For me, life has been weird and I needed a cozy vid to warm my soul and here you are! Love ya and your vids Elise! We are all human and have our moments of warmth and sometimes we feel small and hide when life feels cold and uninspiring. The thing I love about you is you sharing your warmth and creativity.
You can use Javex bleach to get rid of the mold or go to a paint store and get mold remover in a spray bottle. You can also buy paint that prevents mold. We did this in the house we had before and it worked great. Hope this helps. I would not wait for the landlord, it's better to not get sick!
@@EliseBuch yes at this point the paint wont do the trick. The wall seems to need some reconstruction, with plaster for example. And then putting on tiles so the water wont ever leak on the wall again. That can be done pretty easily but can be expensive for a renter. I would say around 400€ if the cost of materials is the same as in France and if you do it yourself. Probably a thousand euros to do it professionnally. I don't know about the laws where you live but in France if you're a renter and something's unsanitary about the place, you can stop paying your rent until the landlord fixes the issue. Maybe go see a renters association to help you with your case if you plan on staying in the place long enough for it to worth the effort ? Sending you lots of love and strengh Elise !
You have worked so hard and I am hopeful that you will soon realize your dream of being a homeowner. To your credit you have made the apartment look so charming and pretty, shame on the landlord for not keeping up with repairs😢
You looked like spring walking in the road. I hope the bank says yes. Your apartment looks beautiful. sad to hear your landlord isn’t looking after the building. Easy money for him. Better things to come xx
I just love how real you are! No airs or graces. You just tell everyone how it really is! In a world full of cloak and daggers I admire your honesty! Well done you!
Apartment living can truly suck. Chad and I lived in a place where some people smoked and it gets into everything! We now own a house and I'm so much happier! I'm sending good vibes your way! Your house is out there, just waiting for you to find it.
I love your videos Elise. They are very relaxing to watch. I love the honesty and the fact that you are not afraid of showing your true feelings. Good luck to you and I really hope you find that perfect home with a garden of course!
I once had an apartment in the Florida Keys, which was only 90 miles north of Cuba. It was in the second floor doctor's library of a nearly 200 year old home that annexed the hospital (my friend Jason lived in the annex down the hall from me). As an avid reader I was absolutely crazy about the two walls of built-in bookcases that stretched almost all the way to the 10 foot ceilings. There were 1940s appliances in my tiny, lipstick red kitchen which I loved. Giant 7' tall windows wrapped three sides, with the broadside facing north (SO important in a hot climate). Then, there was the balcony. It was a deep, grand, balustraded Gone With the Wind-type balcony that snuggled up to a large banyan tree. It overlooked a gorgeous tropical jungle of a garden and when it rained I had 180 degree view of steady summer downpours from the vantage point of almost anywhere in my little flat. It was so breezy you only needed a/c in the hottest part of summer. Also, it was only a block of the main downtown road and 5 blocks away from where I worked -- yet you could hear no noise, not even during festivals. It also happened to be cheap cheap cheap. Sure, it was run down, but in a shabby chic sort of way that made me love it all the more. Yeah, there was a rowdy bunch that lived there, but it was a gay household (I'd lied to live there) and it was kept really really clean. And there was a quaint little house dinner and cocktails every Sunday night on the main upstairs balcony - which felt like home. And family. It was so perfect I would STILL live there, 20 years later. ...If it weren't for the bedbugs. And these were super tropical bedbugs, not just typical New York bedbugs. Before I moved, I had to throw out every single thing I owned made of fabric: my clothes, towels, bedding, 3 mattresses, curtains for all those windows, a sofa...you get the point. My landlord had handed me a can of bug spray as a solution. I wish I were joking. He told me I needed to spray my mattress seams with bleach and wrap them in airtight black plastic...as if that was the ultimate solution!! I had been hung up on by 4 exterminators before the fifth told me the only way to get rid of them once they've infected the house was to cleanse it with fire. It was heartbreaking to have to move out of that perfect (for me) little place, but I wanted to leave while I still had some skin left. It took 2 years for the scarring to finally fade completely! I will never forget it. Before this, I was terrified of spiders. To this day I would rather make my peace with spiders than step one foot into a bedbug infested place ever again. But believe it or not I still miss the hell out of that apartment. I mean, like a LOT. It was like someone handed me my glass slipper after filling it up with bugs. 😅
Get Tilex (Amazon) or use Clorox beach (full strength) to clean area. Wear a mask and gloves when doing the cleaning. Get a humidifier for the constant moisture. No guarantee if mold is behind the wall, but should help. Use paint that has mold inhibitor to touch up the walls after you clean it. For the smoke, a good air purifier will help. Also, Pro-Lab Mold Test Kit can be done after you clean to assess your situation. If black mold, get out asap. Hope this was useful information. Over the years, I had to live with this problem due to constant flooding in the basement of my house. Finally, got rid of the problem. I sold the house! Love your videos. A fan in Chicago.
I think you might have meant to write "dehumidifier" rather than "humidifier." Awesome suggestion by the way! It would help with the ongoing issue, though I don't think it would do much for anything behind the wall.
Thanks for the video. The color in your videos always make me feel better. It's a dreary day here in my state in the USA and your bright and colorful clothes, boutique and home are uplifting.
Never apologise for saying what you feel especially when you are really suffering with the bathroom and laundry situation. Have faith.. you will find the perfect new house for you..sending a hug from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘🏡🏡🏡
I understand wanting to move out of a building like that, I’ve been there. Smoky neighbors, fungus in the washroom, dingy dirty basement with neighbors that leave their clothes in the wash for too long. Yep. I hope the bank gives you good news and you find a lovely home that meets your needs and desires. Much love to you. 😄❤️
Yum that salad looks so good. I can completely relate to your feeling about your banking institution and buying a home. When I purchased my first home as a single woman in America it was very difficult because I too was self-employed. It took a long time but … I never gave up, not ever. Just try to remember to be flexible. If the bank says yes but…you need to do this, that & this, or they may want more money, or they may say no to the amount and you may have to find a less expensive home. There are always options and ways to get what you want. Make sure you keep trusting & believing in your ability to manifest exactly what you want. 💕🏡
Can I just say how beautiful you looked in the spring outfit, these colours embodied spring. So sorry you are having so much trouble with your landlord, over here in Britain people have the same problems but not all landlords are like this my husband and I own two properties and if our tenants have problems we are onto it instantly if my husband can't fix it we get someone in. We believe in treating people how we would like to be treated ourselves if we were renting. I do hope you get good news from the bank and that you will soon be buying your own property. It is so lovely having you back Vlogging.
I found you a week or two ago and really enjoy watching you especially the tiny cabin/ garden house videos. That's Mold in your bathroom hun and yes it can make you sick. I wish you luck I hope you get the house that's right for you.
Hello Elise, just wanna say, that I love to watch your path, its always so cozy and calming. Hope you get better soon, when the sun starts to shine again. Greetings from Germany.
I so understand your frustrations!!! I've lived in buildings like that where the Landlord did not care! I got REALLY sick! I almost died! I hope you can find a New Place that you love! 💖
I feel you on the deadbeat landlord thing. My bathroom has water damage too and I got stood up 4x trying to get it fixed and just finally gave it. My building also has druggie types in it. It is hard to deal with when you're house proud.
Renting an apartment is hard, you are at the mercy of all the other tenants as well as your landlord. I totally understand why you need your own place now. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!! 🌻❤️
I love the new kimonos! I also sympathize with you regarding your bathroom, and I hope you're blessed with a new house. Mix vinegar and baking soda, and spray on the areas, especially, after it dries. I have a walk-in shower. After a shower, I leave the shower door open, as well as the bathroom door, and it cuts down on mildew and mold. I also clean my shower with vinegar and baking soda. Blessings!
You reminded me of that moment in my last apartment.. the upstairs tenant is boxing all nite with home decor that they sell and its like they are moving furnituresss... every nite and they talk on their phone like no one can hear them... and footsteps galore... You deserve all the things you want in life. You work so hard and know how to appreciate alot of things and people 😍❤💐 I pray 🙏 to the Lord to grand your wish to have your Own place and I can't wait to see the out come of your decor..
Well it was dark as night here all day now it's raining - seeing your post cheered me up! Love the kimonos ❤️I'm waiting for the day when you have your own place, you are so good at fixing things up to be beautiful! The little cabin, your apartment and the boutique are adorable!! When the time is right it will all fall into place, keep reaching for your dreams 👏👍❤️💃
Hello from Scotland uk ❤️ I love vintage clothing its beautiful. Looking forward to your cabin vlogs again, I’m very jelous the cabin is so cosy. A perfect little getaway ❤️ xxxx
I really love your videos and I hope everything works out for you. Being real and vulnerable just makes me want to see more of you. It also makes me, and I'm sure many others, very empathetic to your situation.
Girl I feel you on wanting a place that is yours! I really like the sit down chit chat rant style ending to this video! Thank you for being so down to earth, relatable and for sharing the issues you are going through. We are dealing with similar issues so know you are not alone 💘
I totally understand you. I'm stuck in a place I cant stand aswell, and I cant wait for my economy to get a bit better so I can finally get out and start my life. And living a place one is not happy, that can really kill people's creativity. I hope you will get the house of your dreams as soon as possible 🙏🏻🧡✨️
I hope it all works out with the bank! I think it’s great you are going for it, and you have all the records prepared and in in 2018/19 the business was very clearly in start up mode - but it’s grown and is an ongoing concern. Good for you xxx
Some advice, out everything in writing to your landlord to keep a paper trail, just in case. If it's not in edition, it doesn't exist. Good luck Elise!
That’s mold and here in Canada, it’s illegal for the landlord to not to fix it immediately. It’s a health hazard and you need to get it fixed or move. Call the board of health or whatever it’s called there. Even if you don’t get positive feedback from the bank, please consider moving as soon as possible, even if it’s another rental. Or stay in your cottage or even the boutique. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞
Omg. Your apartment situation and life remind me of my life in New York City in the 1980’s and 1990’s. I was a struggling creative person too. I had to live in the cheapest apartments and had slum lords (sleazy landlords) who did not care for the buildings at all. I had one landlord that would not even fix the broken front door lock to the building entrance-in crazy New York!!! Anyone could just walk right in. Scary but also wonderful days. I was older than you when I finally started making great money and bought my first apartment. I will say, all my crazy dreams came true! What I love about you is you know how to appreciate everything. You loom on the positive side of things and make the best of it, even when times are sometimes very disheartening! Your honesty, talent, kindness and spirit will take you exactly where you want to go in life. But the most important thing, is I see you enjoying the journey. I really really relate to you. Watching you reminds me so much of myself 30 years ago!
Blue is not a color you wear that often, but as with most other colors, it looks wonderful on you! Love the styling of your outfits, with jewelry and so on.
Good luck with the Bank!!!.... I know that feeling too, I was so nervous when I bought my house....but remember there is always a way to get what you want when your desire is honest and passionate....Best wishes for you ...🇨🇱❤️
Fingers crossed on the bank coming through! We all need a good vent/rant now and then, it's actually very cleansing and healthy to do so 😀 take care sweet girl!
Elise, I understand about getting landlords to do their job. I've had many of them. The ones I have now are pretty good, but still leave a lot to be desired. Good luck with your house! Hope you get it!
Aw I know how you feel. I want to move house too. We have awful neighbours and can't stand to remain here. I hope there is good news for you and for us,Elise x
Elise don't be so hard on yourself. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be comfortable where you're at. I pray that you will hear some good news from the bank. You are a beautiful and good person, I always say when you are good, good things happen. We just have to be patient. It's unfortunate that you can't live in your pretty little cabin, because it's the most coziest little place ever.
I wish you all the best with your house purchase. It is nice to see that you prepare healthy interesting meals. for yourself. I think cooking is such a fun and useful thing to do.
You gotta get the hell out of there! My aunt got really really sick after a bad mold remediation company came in and blew mold spores throughout the house when they were supposed to be correcting mold in just one area. Even their newly painted gray walls turned pink after it all happened. It was the weirdest thing but worst was witnessing what my aunt went through and how it destroyed her life for years. You're doing the right thing to get out asap!
Have had to deal with mold myself. I used to wash the walls with bleach.it helped a lot. I hate smoke myself. Years ago my niece came to stay for a bit and she smoked. My brother also smoked quite a bit. I used to literally spray them down with Fabreeze before I let them my place. Helped a lot.
U will love having your own place and land!!!! I love mine but I live 20 miles out of town !! Best of luck w ur house !!!! I don't blame u about ur clothes and washing machine
Here in Hamburg we haven't seen the sun for like 4 months. It's all grey in grey, same thunder storms as in Denmark. It's hard to push through that. Good luck for your apartment search and for better weather!
I hope they do something about that fungus that will make you so very sick. And all the other problems you pay your rent so there's know reason not to fix. Getting your own home would be better. Just stay on it either way fix apartment and don't give up on home. You work very very hard so you deserve the best of the best. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Waiting for the bank is hard. I do hope they approve you. Would love to see you get a house of your own. If you don’t get approved go to another lender. Living in an apartment is so hard. I honestly can’t do it and understand all your struggles. You need a house of your own. Sending you lots of warm thoughts and good vibes sweet lady. 💕
Totally understand about the smoke smell! Cannabis has become legal in Michigan and so now all the apartments have a strong skunk like stench that seeps into all the rooms, down the halls and all the stairwells. Its frankly disgusting for anyone who doesn't smoke pot to have to breath the smoke in
I understand your desire to move to a better place. I couldn't tolerate all the issues with my last apartment, so I decided to move to a better apartment with higher rent. The old apartment was cozy and had low rent, but there were too many disgusting issues in the building!
Having your own place is where it's at! I wish you luck w the bank. I'm like you when I was renting I paid to fix things just so my quality of living was better. How about a shower curtain to cover the damage and not allow water to hit the wall anymore, and add to the mold? That might be a temporary fix.
Thank you Elise the Kimonos are beautiful. I feel so bad for you dealing with a landlord who doesn’t care. I hope you get financing soon but don’t go over your head, the worry isn’t worth it. Spring will be here soon. Hugs Bea
Dear Elise you are so so so right to move! It needs to be your Priority for your own well being! God Bless you with finding the correct move to do. Sherry :)
Dear Elise the problems in your apartment are more common then you think I can relate. In the states we call it mold and black mold is extremely dangerous. I have had this problem on my kitchen ceiling for over a year because the building I live in needs a new roof. So until they can afford to fix the roof I’m stuck It’s scary good luck I hope they fix it soon. Love your videos. Brighter days ahead ! Cheers !
Hey Elise Yes fungus is very bad for your health, but the landlord should get that fixed, it is down to him. Yes we have all been hit financially the last two years, I am self employed too and finding it very hard, so your not alone lovely, it's very hard times. I hope you get good news x Love all your clothes, you always look amazing, have a great week xx💐🙌🏽🌻💫
i just bought three of your recycled silk bags and they came so fast (Denmark to Germany). I really love them. They feel so soft and the fabric is sp beautiful. I need to order more!
Omgosh, yes do not wait for your landlord to fix the mold , do it yourself. It is very dangerous to have that in your Appartment, mold spreads like crazy. I’m hopeing you get good news from the bank. If not i would try and find a nicer Appt to rent. Some landlords just don’t care. They just collect the rent and that’s it. Good luck Elise
Soo many good Vibes sent your way!! Good luck on the loan 🤞 I so hope it goes through soon so you can get outta of there. I had no idea you were in an apartment or living with the problems you spoke of. I so hope you get the place that fits your needs so you can save some money, rather than paying rent on your store & housing. Your landlords sound like they are slumlords and just waiting on your rent check each month, rather than fixing what definitely needs to be fixed!!!
I'm a landlord and I can't get over how some don't care enough about the people paying them to look after the apts.. I just 3, 1 for my and my tenants and I put the smallest on airbnb. I know you love the cabin, but selling that may help you get into your own home, with a garden, I'm thinking you're looking at houses with garden space. I hope it all comes together for you, you're such a nice hard working girl, fingers crossed here in the states, on the shore in Maryland.
I feel sorry for all your neighbors too. They may be doing the best they can do as well. It is the building owners that need to be made accountable. Slum lords are just awful. I hope you get a place soon🌻
Here in the USA we call them slumlords. They buy buildings and collect the rent and never fix anything. It's very hard to get a good landlord. Just think if you could find a house with a garden and room for your web shop you wouldn't need three places so it might even save you money.
I’m living in a slumlord place right now myself I’m in new London Wisconsin
@@rebeccazimmerman870 Sorry to hear that. Covid restrictions has only increased slumlords. People don't have as many choices of where to go.
The mold is most dangerous when it's disturbed - that's when the spores get released into the air and you end up breathing them in. Don't try to scrub or clean it yourself, or if you do make sure you're wearing an appropriate mask.

Fingers crossed that you are approved for the house. I appreciate your transparency and hope you are feeling better soon. Big hugs from Oklahoma USA.
Bad me...forgot to mention how stunning those kimonos looked. They are truly gorgeous.

I have a product I spray onto it, but the damages from the water in the wall is so real now, that what used to work doesn't make a difference anymore.
Your room is magical
I don’t blame you for wanting to buy a place of your own. I’ll be praying for you. And I wish all your dreams to come true❤️
I loved your yellow sunflower look in the beginning of the video!! You looked so fabulous 🥺
Keeping my fingers crossed for you that the bank gives you the ok. You're a hard working girl and deserve it x
I understand your pain with renting especially in a poor neighborhood. I hope you hear good news from the bank.
Dinner looks so yum. Love that green dress.
You reminded me of that moment in my last apartment.. the upstairs tenant is boxing all nite with home decor that they sell and its like they are moving furnituresss... every nite and they talk on their phone like no one can hear them... and footsteps galore...
You deserve all the things you want in life. You work so hard and know how to appreciate alot of things and people 😍❤💐 I pray 🙏 to the Lord to grand your wish to have your Own place and I can't wait to see the out come of your decor..
Well it was dark as night here all day now it's raining - seeing your post cheered me up! Love the kimonos ❤️I'm waiting for the day when you have your own place, you are so good at fixing things up to be beautiful! The little cabin, your apartment and the boutique are adorable!! When the time is right it will all fall into place, keep reaching for your dreams 👏👍❤️💃
It will be wonderful when you find your own home Elise. It may take a bit of time but it will happen. Don't give up. Lovely video. Thank you.

Happy to see you back. Good luck and prayers with the bank.🙏😇
I hope you get your house. Renting is tough.
Oooh
Praying for a new home for you Elise - you deserve better!!!!
Love your voice mama 🧡
I really love your videos and I hope everything works out for you. Being real and vulnerable just makes me want to see more of you. It also makes me, and I'm sure many others, very empathetic to your situation.
The way you describe outfits makes me want to have them all, you have a very nice way of describing the details and all
Thank you 🥰
Girl I feel you on wanting a place that is yours! I really like the sit down chit chat rant style ending to this video! Thank you for being so down to earth, relatable and for sharing the issues you are going through. We are dealing with similar issues so know you are not alone 💘
I totally understand you. I'm stuck in a place I cant stand aswell, and I cant wait for my economy to get a bit better so I can finally get out and start my life. And living a place one is not happy, that can really kill people's creativity.
I hope you will get the house of your dreams as soon as possible 🙏🏻🧡✨️
Thank you!
I hope it all works out with the bank! I think it’s great you are going for it, and you have all the records prepared and in in 2018/19 the business was very clearly in start up mode - but it’s grown and is an ongoing concern. Good for you xxx
Some advice, out everything in writing to your landlord to keep a paper trail, just in case. If it's not in edition, it doesn't exist. Good luck Elise!
So happy to have a drop here soon I am so ready to do some shopping!
Thaanks 🥰
That’s mold and here in Canada, it’s illegal for the landlord to not to fix it immediately. It’s a health hazard and you need to get it fixed or move. Call the board of health or whatever it’s called there.
Even if you don’t get positive feedback from the bank, please consider moving as soon as possible, even if it’s another rental. Or stay in your cottage or even the boutique. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞
She can't stay in her cottage overnight....part of the rules, They don't want these garden huts to become "permanent housing"
Omg. Your apartment situation and life remind me of my life in New York City in the 1980’s and 1990’s. I was a struggling creative person too. I had to live in the cheapest apartments and had slum lords (sleazy landlords) who did not care for the buildings at all. I had one landlord that would not even fix the broken front door lock to the building entrance-in crazy New York!!! Anyone could just walk right in. Scary but also wonderful days. I was older than you when I finally started making great money and bought my first apartment. I will say, all my crazy dreams came true! What I love about you is you know how to appreciate everything. You loom on the positive side of things and make the best of it, even when times are sometimes very disheartening! Your honesty, talent, kindness and spirit will take you exactly where you want to go in life. But the most important thing, is I see you enjoying the journey. I really really relate to you. Watching you reminds me so much of myself 30 years ago!
Blue is not a color you wear that often, but as with most other colors, it looks wonderful on you! Love the styling of your outfits, with jewelry and so on.
I feel you with your bathroom, I waited 5 years finally it's done hoping you get to move soon 💜
Good luck with the Bank!!!.... I know that feeling too, I was so nervous when I bought my house....but remember there is always a way to get what you want when your desire is honest and passionate....Best wishes for you ...🇨🇱❤️
I love your honesty, it makes you shine above the rest. Keep it real, ❤
Fingers crossed on the bank coming through! We all need a good vent/rant now and then, it's actually very cleansing and healthy to do so 😀 take care sweet girl!
Elise, I understand about getting landlords to do their job. I've had many of them. The ones I have now are pretty good, but still leave a lot to be desired. Good luck with your house! Hope you get it!
Aw I know how you feel. I want to move house too. We have awful neighbours and can't stand to remain here. I hope there is good news for you and for us,Elise x
So nice to see you again! Always enjoy your videos. I'm hoping you will soon find just the right home for you!
Elise don't be so hard on yourself. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be comfortable where you're at. I pray that you will hear some good news from the bank. You are a beautiful and good person, I always say when you are good, good things happen. We just have to be patient. It's unfortunate that you can't live in your pretty little cabin, because it's the most coziest little place ever.
I wish you all the best with your house purchase. It is nice to see that you prepare healthy interesting meals. for yourself. I think cooking is such a fun and useful thing to do.
Gosh how I can relate to asking for something to be fixed and nothing happens. Fingers crossed the bank will give you the green light!!
You gotta get the hell out of there! My aunt got really really sick after a bad mold remediation company came in and blew mold spores throughout the house when they were supposed to be correcting mold in just one area. Even their newly painted gray walls turned pink after it all happened. It was the weirdest thing but worst was witnessing what my aunt went through and how it destroyed her life for years. You're doing the right thing to get out asap!
Have had to deal with mold myself. I used to wash the walls with bleach.it helped a lot. I hate smoke myself. Years ago my niece came to stay for a bit and she smoked. My brother also smoked quite a bit. I used to literally spray them down with Fabreeze before I let them my place. Helped a lot.
Renting in cities can be horrible and sometimes landlords don't make it easy for us.
Good luck!
Seeing you from Spain
Xx
I really hope you get a positive answer from the bank. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞
U will love having your own place and land!!!! I love mine but I live 20 miles out of town !! Best of luck w ur house !!!! I don't blame u about ur clothes and washing machine
I love the raw vlog, your honesty is appreciated ❤️
we wait for your mailman because he brings such goodies love your sunglasses and the flower earrings
Here in Hamburg we haven't seen the sun for like 4 months. It's all grey in grey, same thunder storms as in Denmark. It's hard to push through that. Good luck for your apartment search and for better weather!
I hope they do something about that fungus that will make you so very sick. And all the other problems you pay your rent so there's know reason not to fix. Getting your own home would be better. Just stay on it either way fix apartment and don't give up on home. You work very very hard so you deserve the best of the best. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
First outfit is amazing! The kimonos are SO gorgeous! 💓
Wonderful, wonderful kimonos! 🥰🥰🥰
Waiting for the bank is hard. I do hope they approve you. Would love to see you get a house of your own. If you don’t get approved go to another lender. Living in an apartment is so hard. I honestly can’t do it and understand all your struggles. You need a house of your own. Sending you lots of warm thoughts and good vibes sweet lady. 💕
Totally understand about the smoke smell! Cannabis has become legal in Michigan and so now all the apartments have a strong skunk like stench that seeps into all the rooms, down the halls and all the stairwells. Its frankly disgusting for anyone who doesn't smoke pot to have to breath the smoke in
Hopefully you can get your house. You will be so happy
I understand your desire to move to a better place. I couldn't tolerate all the issues with my last apartment, so I decided to move to a better apartment with higher rent. The old apartment was cozy and had low rent, but there were too many disgusting issues in the building!
Having your own place is where it's at! I wish you luck w the bank. I'm like you when I was renting I paid to fix things just so my quality of living was better. How about a shower curtain to cover the damage and not allow water to hit the wall anymore, and add to the mold? That might be a temporary fix.
Thank you Elise the Kimonos are beautiful. I feel so bad for you dealing with a landlord who doesn’t care. I hope you get financing soon but don’t go over your head, the worry isn’t worth it. Spring will be here soon. Hugs Bea
Dear Elise you are so so so right to move! It needs to be your Priority for your own well being! God Bless you with finding the correct move to do. Sherry :)
Dear Elise the problems in your apartment are more common then you think I can relate. In the states we call it mold and black mold is extremely dangerous. I have had this problem on my kitchen ceiling for over a year because the building I live in needs a new roof. So until they can afford to fix the roof I’m stuck It’s scary good luck I hope they fix it soon. Love your videos. Brighter days ahead ! Cheers !
Hey Elise
Yes fungus is very bad for your health, but the landlord should get that fixed, it is down to him. Yes we have all been hit financially the last two years, I am self employed too and finding it very hard, so your not alone lovely, it's very hard times. I hope you get good news x
Love all your clothes, you always look amazing, have a great week xx💐🙌🏽🌻💫
The kimonos are beautiful!! Keeping my fingers crossed that the bank says yes.
i just bought three of your recycled silk bags and they came so fast (Denmark to Germany). I really love them. They feel so soft and the fabric is sp beautiful. I need to order more!
Omgosh, yes do not wait for your landlord to fix the mold , do it yourself. It is very dangerous to have that in your Appartment, mold spreads like crazy. I’m hopeing you get good news from the bank. If not i would try and find a nicer Appt to rent. Some landlords just don’t care. They just collect the rent and that’s it. Good luck Elise
your yellow and green outfit is so cool !!!!
Soo many good Vibes sent your way!! Good luck on the loan 🤞 I so hope it goes through soon so you can get outta of there. I had no idea you were in an apartment or living with the problems you spoke of.
I so hope you get the place that fits your needs so you can save some money, rather than paying rent on your store & housing.
Your landlords sound like they are slumlords and just waiting on your rent check each month, rather than fixing what definitely needs to be fixed!!!
I'm a landlord and I can't get over how some don't care enough about the people paying them to look after the apts.. I just 3, 1 for my and my tenants and I put the smallest on airbnb. I know you love the cabin, but selling that may help you get into your own home, with a garden, I'm thinking you're looking at houses with garden space. I hope it all comes together for you, you're such a nice hard working girl, fingers crossed here in the states, on the shore in Maryland.
We missed you! Try on some more of those vintage dresses. We never get to see them all💜
Praying you get your house.
That green dress is so gorgeous!!! ❤️🥰
I feel sorry for all your neighbors too. They may be doing the best they can do as well. It is the building owners that need to be made accountable. Slum lords are just awful. I hope you get a place soon🌻
The kimonos are gorgeous! I hope you get the best financial news from the bank!
