Can you use your current kennel as an end table? Put a little blanket over the kennel, leaving the door accessible and making it feel cozy inside under the blanket, and then put a tray on top? I love the way you figured out how to feel better at Christmas - I’m a big fan of handmade ornaments and your son would enjoy making some ornaments and memories with you. Those dried oranges are so beautiful! You are really making progress and even though you don’t know me, and I’m old enough to be your grandmother, I am so proud of you and happy for you.
Yaaaaasssss!!! Getting the surplus out of the apt is wonderful for your anxiety! Less is more. Love how it’s falling into place. Peace will reign in your home.
Yes! A Yule holiday is a great way to go. When my parents divorced, we decorated our tree with strings of cranberries and popcorn and dried oranges and cinnamon sticks, too. It was lovely and so homey. I also started a lifetime tradition of making paper snowflakes! One year, I decorated a little tree in my bedroom with tiny snowflakes made of wax paper and aluminum foil. Now, I have hundreds of laminated favorites made by my entire family over the years that I tape to the windows in all our rooms for the entire winter season. They are so beautiful to come home to when the skies are dreary!
You're looking much more relaxed now that the living room is getting organized and comfortable. As for gift wrap, I used to have that same gift wrap storage thingy, and I donated it because it's more of a hindrance than a help. After almost 50 years of putting up a Christmas tree this year I donated all my decorations because at 75 going up and down a ladder just isn't any fun, but I'm keeping an eye out for a cheap tabletop tree just in case I decided I want a tree this year. My mom passed away on Christmas eve so I know how a loss can affect one's holiday spirit.
origami ornaments & paper snowflakes✌🏼🎅🏼 relaxing, quick, pretty & free (or close to it) 💚❤️💚❤️ Everything’s coming together so nicely. You’re almost ‘there’. Yay! 🥳🎉
The sofa looks great and you have so much space, yippee 🥳 Taking out the other stuff made a difference too. Slow and steady wins the race. Looking forward to seeing what you do tomorrow. Hope all went well with the doctor.
Hello Libby I love it now you can watch tv , and with the desk and table love how you’re gonna set it up. Can’t wait to see it when you’re done. Oh the rug you could put it under your kitchen table I think that would look nice. Have a good rest of your day ❤
WOW! I love how the living room is shaping up. Can’t wait to see your tree with the oranges, cranberries & little ornaments. You could string popcorn too - a beautiful old-fashioned tree.
I do like where you put the couch it takes time to figure out everything no rush you getting to it piece by piece. I love the idea of you creating Christmas decor the way you want. Some people just get table top size trees in small places nothing wrong with that.
I am so excited to see your living room come together!! I love watching your videos even though sometimes I get frustrated and wish I could come thru the screen and help you get stuff done. Keep on keeping on!
Finally, someone who understands the situation and can express it better than me. I have Depression and don't feel like doing anything. Been trying to do it but don't care if it piles up. New Years resolution to do better cleaning. Yeah right!! This video helped me just do it. Then My ADHD hubby messed everything up and I come home to look at disaster. Thank you.
Get a pencil tree then it won’t be so big. Also, just keep the kennel. Like you said you can put it down and up as needed. If you get an end table you won’t be able too, and it becomes a “flat” surface and you know what happens to flat surfaces. The couch looks great there!!!
Whoohoo Libby!!! It looks so good! The joy on your face now shines very brightly (I think I need sunglasses!!!) I also think that the kennel could go between the couch and the desk. Closer to the couch to act as an end table. Or instead of a kennel can you get a gate to put across the bathroom door? That wont work if he's a houdini! ❤❤❤❤❤
It looks so good. Put the kennel as the end table. Maybe put cardboard on the top or some sort of timber to give you a flat surface. Can you turn the rug around so it goes under the couch. You are doing a great job, with this. It’s coming together as you wanted.
Libby, where you moved the sofa makes your living room look so much bigger!!! Looks great there 😊 I think an end table kennel would fit to the left of your couch. There are so many choices of the end table kennels out there that I’m sure you could find one that would fit and look great! And it would be a nice place to put a table lamp, remotes, and a drink! The rug might look good under your dining table. Hope your doctor appointment went well. Take care! ❤😊
I like the new arrangement of the furniture. You are almost there with getting the rest of it all sorted and unboxed and things taken to storage. When that is done, you will feel so much more relaxed. Good job.
Yea but maybe instead of spending money on it she should just put the flat piece of something sturdy with a cover that drapes all around the cage and use that as the end table.
Making something can always be relaxing. Then you get an earned sense of satisfaction too. Well done. The older you get the more you realize flexibility with “ traditions “ is OK.👍🏻🇨🇦
OMG!! It looks so good that way!! Unless you get a smaller collapsible crate that you can tuck behind the couch when not using, the only way I think it could work is to move the planter right next to the front door and get one of those end table crates for next to the chaise. It might be a bit tight with the Christmas tree next to the planter, but it’s only for a month out of the year. 🤷🏻♀️
Looks sooooo good!! Such great progression Libby!! I need to ask about that shoes organizer on the outside of that door when u walk in…can u put on the inside of that closet or some other closet? It’s a lot when u walk in & messes the whole vibe of the LR! 🙏🏻
Looking beautiful 😊😊😊 Yes, sofa space looking awsome.... Re-arrange the work desk/ dinning table sounds COOL as mapped by someone... Your home is awsome & perfect for you two!!❤❤❤ 2025.....looking AWSOME FOR YOU FOR SURE🎉🎉🎉🎉
Keep the kennel, and keep it folded up until you need it, then fold it back up after each use. You seem so much happier now that things are coming together ❤
I’d move the rug down under the table/desk/tv and if you want a rug for by the door to help keep the carpet clean then I’d buy a smaller rug for that area. I’m glad you’ve found a layout that works for you. I’d find a smaller kennel (at a thrift store even). Also let people know you’re looking for a smaller kennel and someone might have one they want to unload.
Hi Libby....love your videos! ❤ just a thought... Where you are sitting at the end of the video, you could move the couch away from the wall a bit more, and maybe you'll have enough space for a slim end table kennel and would serve as a place for a table lamp rather then a stand up lamp. Once you turn the desk, there should be enough room to do that. Cheers from snowy Northern Ontario Canada.
That's looking so much better, especially now that you've taken out all the other stuff you don't want in there. It's a shame you couldn't get the lounge on the other side but it definitely looks like it's going to work OK for you. ❤
OMG!! Girl!! I have been having left lower side pain since April. Went to my primary and got a CT scan done. Said it was either diverticulitis or the cyst on my ovary. Changed my diet for the diverticulitis. Fast forward to November and went to urgent care and then ER visit before 🦃 day. I was having horrible pain. Do another CT scan and I have a kidney stone!!! Please make sure they check this too!! Hope u feel better. 😊😊
When overwhelmed with decision paralysis, I find that Dana K White's advice really helps: "What has to be done anyway?" That is, what little obvious thing has to be taken care of no matter what? Do that next. For decluttering, it's often trash. But for organizing, it's often consolidating like with like. For rearranging furniture, it's clearing a space or emptying the drawers. Whatever will help get you back in motion is a good thing to do at a stuck moment, even if it's not most efficient or clever or done perfectly.
You go to Chewy they have an end table that doubles as a dog kennel. It will help to double your space with less furniture. Everything will all come together soon. Don't worry. Stay Strong 💪💗💗
Hi Libby! Wow you did an amazing job! Love it. Could you turn the rug the other way so it’s a little bit under the couch. If not it really looks nice where it is. ❤❤❤❤
Lol not picking on you but across is not spelled or said acrosseT like you pronounced it. Just kidding you. The sofa looks so much better and open now. I love it!
Progress🎉 just a thought foe later when you want to move your furniture around, you might not be game for this but here it goes. I would switch the chaise to the other side so it would be in the corner. Your couch totally disassembles, and I know you had a moment of AARRGH. But I think it would make the room more open in the middle. I like the idea of putting rug under dining room tables to define area, keeping the room open. I like your idea of moving the desk to the other wall. Good job girl.
If it was my sofa,that chaise would be MY seat of choice.Unfortunately,if she switched it like you say,she’d be looking at the coat closet,not the television.🫤 I totally agree with the chaise being up against the wall,makes for a more open space. So ideally,if she wasn’t stuck on the desk being under the window, I would move the sofa all the way to the left,so that the “L” shape of the sofa,matches under the “L” shape of the windows.(CUTE) Then the table actually coming out from the other corner like a cozy bistro but not so looming. I would then place the desk to the right of the door,but with a large mirror over it,so that it could also be used for hair and makeup but would also reflect the light and scenery from the actual windows.The tall plant stand could go where the dining table is now and the present crate with a cloth and tray on top might even fit as an end table for the left side of the sofa. The result would be that when you walk into the apartment from outside or the kitchen,the biggest impact view is that awesome sofa,not tables with stuff on them. (And the rug to the right of the door under the desk and dining table zone.)
I feel like anything on the floor under the vision board would definitely impede the walking space too much! That's pretty much the entrance to a hallway and wants to be an open, convenient space for walking while carrying things.
I think a smaller round rug would be better by the sofa. A fluffy one where you and your kiddo and dogs can also sit on the Floor. And a big Mirror on the Wall by the couch could make the room bigger 😊❤️ or a big Picture. So happy that you feel better now with the new couchsetting 😃❤️ and put the Donations out on the Street so perhaps they are gone without a trip to the donation center 😅
Hi Libby- I love how you arranged the couch! I hope you get your health issue figured out very soon. Sorry you have some neighbor issues and I hope that gets resolved also. Have fun shopping for a tree! I love your rustic/cabin/nature inspired theme for your holiday decor. It's going to look fabulous and bring a nice cozy vibe. Have a wonderful week! Hugs and love always. 😊🧡🐦
Hi…I really like the idea of having the couch across the room…sort of separating the room…please even if you dont leave it the…please try it and show us what it looks like…I think it would look fabulous…just my little bit of input…love your channel…Dawn Western Australia xx
Do they do small crates that could go in the gap between the sofa and the desk? Then you could put a tray on top for a small tree, then it will be out of the way and make it noticeable when you come in the room.
Hi Libby, happy holidays Hun. Maybe you can pull the rug back a little under the couch. Maybe that will allow you to not have issues with the chaise. Keep going you're almost there🙌🙌. Take care 🤗
Your living room is really coming together. I know it's going to be beautiful once everything is done. My son is grown now but I was also a single mother. You can work on making your own memories and traditions with your son. Just the two of you.
Huge, huge congrats on the progress in the living room!!! Fantastically well done; it’s really looking great. As for what to celebrate, a friend of mine makes a bower instead of a tree. She makes a frame with hula hoops, and then makes a kind of spherical thing. Lots of fun, and lots of advantages (eg no floor space occupied). I love celebrating solstice, because the days start getting tonger and my depression slowly ebbs. Last year a small group of my nearest and dearest wrote our wishes for the year on those Chinese paper lanterns that you send up like mini hot air balloons with votive candles, and we sent them up into the sky at night. It was really pretty and uplifting-I highly recommend it! No matter how you decide to decorate or celebrate, have a wonderful, joyous Yule! 🎉❤🌞
I get cysts on my vulva mostly during my period but not always. It's from endometriosis. These are chocolate cysts (the debris is dark and oily, like chocolate, but with a sewer smell). There's nothing to be done since there's no cure for endo. I hope you heal quickly and well!
I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but if the rug is just too much hassle - after you've tried different placements - it's also OK to decide that it just doesn't work in this space for you. You could store it for when you eventually move into a different place. You could loan it to a friend or family member. You could sell or donate it. You are not morally obligated to keep and use this rug in this space. It's totally your choice!
You could use that trait of getting more done when you have someone coming to motivate yourself. - You could ask someone to come help you with a small part of it, even if it's just asking for their opinion. - You could ask Kelly to help you with some of it. - You could FaceTime with someone as you work on it. - You could livestream as you work on it. - You could invite someone over for a visit as a deadline for you to get a chunk of it done. - You could promise Kelly a treat, an outing, or having a friend over if you get it done by a certain time. I'm sure others have more ideas on ways to use body doubling and deadlines to help direct your ADHD energy. 😉
Can you use your current kennel as an end table? Put a little blanket over the kennel, leaving the door accessible and making it feel cozy inside under the blanket, and then put a tray on top? I love the way you figured out how to feel better at Christmas - I’m a big fan of handmade ornaments and your son would enjoy making some ornaments and memories with you. Those dried oranges are so beautiful! You are really making progress and even though you don’t know me, and I’m old enough to be your grandmother, I am so proud of you and happy for you.
I'm 75 and claim her as a 'courtesy daughter' even though she doesn't know it. 😁 She just makes me feel good when she shares life with us. 🎆🎇
@@dianewalmsley4800Love this,I’ve also heard “Bonus Daughter”.🤭

The lamp can fit behind the couch and the rug under the dining room set.
Looks great!👍🏾 😊
Love the sofa that way. Maybe move the rug to go under your dining area to give a seperate space vibe.
Yaaaaasssss!!! Getting the surplus out of the apt is wonderful for your anxiety! Less is more. Love how it’s falling into place. Peace will reign in your home.
Yes! A Yule holiday is a great way to go. When my parents divorced, we decorated our tree with strings of cranberries and popcorn and dried oranges and cinnamon sticks, too. It was lovely and so homey.

Libby it was so good to see you much more relaxed and happy. I like the couch setup it works! Keep smiling ❤
If you cover a tote box with a table cloth it makes a great coffee table or side table
Yes I did this in my first apartment. Free till you decide about a kennel
table and storage for out of season stuff or ......
get a tall gate for the kitchen and get rid of the dog crate altogether. or just use the crate with a tray topper as the end table.
This layout is really looking great! Well done, Libby! It's coming together, day by day! Love your channel!
I agree with others who have said to put the rug under your dining table. It will define your dining area.
origami ornaments & paper snowflakes✌🏼🎅🏼 relaxing, quick, pretty & free (or close to it) 💚❤️💚❤️ Everything’s coming together so nicely. You’re almost ‘there’. Yay! 🥳🎉
Yessssssss! I said it too. About the couch being a divider for the office space! Yaaaaaa🎉🎉🎉🎉
The sofa looks great and you have so much space, yippee 🥳 Taking out the other stuff made a difference too. Slow and steady wins the race. Looking forward to seeing what you do tomorrow. Hope all went well with the doctor.
I hope your doctor's appt went well. Super happy for you. I love seeing your progress. Thanks for sharing.
So happy for you!! Looks like everything is coming together!🎉
It's looking amazing. Your doing a great job.❤

Wow, that looks amazing!!
Proud of you!! ❤
Great job libby your doing well❤love the couch more room.
like the new position for the couch , thinking also getting a piece of wood for the top of the kennel . Your doing amazing, one day at a time .
Even a large tray from the thrift shop.👍
It is like playing Jenga in small spaces..lol! You are getting there! ❤❤😊😊
Well done Libby. I can see all the thought and work you and Kelly have done to make it your home. I can't wait to see the results. ❤🎉😊
I do like where you put the couch it takes time to figure out everything no rush you getting to it piece by piece. I love the idea of you creating Christmas decor the way you want. Some people just get table top size trees in small places nothing wrong with that.

.I love the couch there Libby. Good call. It's going to look so cute. I can see the vision.
I LOVE THAT COUCH! And the living room looks HUGE!🙌🏻
Finally, someone who understands the situation and can express it better than me. I have Depression and don't feel like doing anything. Been trying to do it but don't care if it piles up. New Years resolution to do better cleaning. Yeah right!! This video helped me just do it. Then My ADHD hubby messed everything up and I come home to look at disaster. Thank you.
I love it!🎉 I have a pencil tree that I looooove! Such a great solution
Hey, it looks good!
Now you can actually see it, it’s not such a small space at all. It’s going to be just lovely and cosy for you two.
I would put the shelf by the door to set keys on etc. then put the kennel next to the couch as a end table :)
A tradition that my son (9) and I do every year is a gingerbread house. They have them at the dollar tree this year! And gingerbread men!!!
I love that! We usually go to a friend's house to do them but they haven't done them the last few years so I'll have to do that 🥰💙
@SimplyLibbyt it's really fun!
My kids used to enjoy those too! Have fun!
Get a pencil tree then it won’t be so big. Also, just keep the kennel. Like you said you can put it down and up as needed. If you get an end table you won’t be able too, and it becomes a “flat” surface and you know what happens to flat surfaces. The couch looks great there!!!
The room looks soo much bigger and open!! I love it
Whoohoo Libby!!! It looks so good! The joy on your face now shines very brightly (I think I need sunglasses!!!) I also think that the kennel could go between the couch and the desk. Closer to the couch to act as an end table. Or instead of a kennel can you get a gate to put across the bathroom door? That wont work if he's a houdini! ❤❤❤❤❤
It looks so good. Put the kennel as the end table. Maybe put cardboard on the top or some sort of timber to give you a flat surface. Can you turn the rug around so it goes under the couch. You are doing a great job, with this. It’s coming together as you wanted.
It looks fantastic, and I love what you have planned for everything else xx
I’m so happy for you. And you look so good in that outfit… ❤

Looks great. Just a thought they have tv stand kennels. Also if you want you can put the rug under desk and dinner table.
That’s a great idea, Tracy, a TV stand kennel 😊
Oh that's a great idea! I didn't know they sold those!
Yea but maybe instead of spending money on it she should just put the flat piece of something sturdy with a cover that drapes all around the cage and use that as the end table.
@ yes! love that! Great idea.
Making something can always be relaxing. Then you get an earned sense of satisfaction too. Well done. The older you get the more you realize flexibility with
“ traditions “ is OK.👍🏻🇨🇦
It looks great!
Libby put the lamp in the corner behind the couch or right at the end of the arm of the couch to help hide the cord
The couch looks so much better in its new home. I can't wait to see how the desk looks when you move it to the corner. One step at a time...
I like your idea. And will you be moving the pretty art piece on the smaller wall , over the couch? By window.
I'm putting up like one or two decorations a day which cracks me up!
OMG!! It looks so good that way!! Unless you get a smaller collapsible crate that you can tuck behind the couch when not using, the only way I think it could work is to move the planter right next to the front door and get one of those end table crates for next to the chaise. It might be a bit tight with the Christmas tree next to the planter, but it’s only for a month out of the year. 🤷🏻♀️
Pole lamp goes behind your sofa in the corner. Serves as ambient & reading light, as needed. Out of the way.
It's getting done little by little ❤!
Looks sooooo good!! Such great progression Libby!! I need to ask about that shoes organizer on the outside of that door when u walk in…can u put on the inside of that closet or some other closet? It’s a lot when u walk in & messes the whole vibe of the LR! 🙏🏻
Looking beautiful 😊😊😊
Yes, sofa space looking awsome....
Re-arrange the work desk/ dinning table sounds COOL as mapped by someone...
Your home is awsome & perfect for you two!!❤❤❤
2025.....looking AWSOME FOR YOU FOR SURE🎉🎉🎉🎉
I can’t wait to see it finished with Xmas 🎄 decorations.
Keep the kennel, and keep it folded up until you need it, then fold it back up after each use. You seem so much happier now that things are coming together ❤
Good job 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

OMG!! Girl!! I have been having left lower side pain since April. Went to my primary and got a CT scan done. Said it was either diverticulitis or the cyst on my ovary. Changed my diet for the diverticulitis. Fast forward to November and went to urgent care and then ER visit before 🦃 day. I was having horrible pain. Do another CT scan and I have a kidney stone!!!

You’re getting there! I LOVE the couch placement!
I Love It!!! You are in the Home Stretch now, and your place is looking GREAT. As to Xmas Reinvention: YES. So wise, and yet so young 😊

Too much stuff especially in the living room
Space in there would be so nice
Hi Libby- I love how you arranged the couch! I hope you get your health issue figured out very soon. Sorry you have some neighbor issues and I hope that gets resolved also. Have fun shopping for a tree! I love your rustic/cabin/nature inspired theme for your holiday decor. It's going to look fabulous and bring a nice cozy vibe. Have a wonderful week! Hugs and love always. 😊🧡🐦
Great Video ❤
What do you think about scooching the couch closer to the windows that way you don't feel so boxed in when you're sitting right by the wall

Do they do small crates that could go in the gap between the sofa and the desk? Then you could put a tray on top for a small tree, then it will be out of the way and make it noticeable when you come in the room.

That's what I was wondering too 😊
Your living room is really coming together. I know it's going to be beautiful once everything is done. My son is grown now but I was also a single mother. You can work on making your own memories and traditions with your son. Just the two of you.
Look up folding paper stars.. would totally go with your vibe
❤
Huge, huge congrats on the progress in the living room!!! Fantastically well done; it’s really looking great.
As for what to celebrate, a friend of mine makes a bower instead of a tree. She makes a frame with hula hoops, and then makes a kind of spherical thing. Lots of fun, and lots of advantages (eg no floor space occupied).

It was really pretty and uplifting-I highly recommend it!

I get cysts on my vulva mostly during my period but not always. It's from endometriosis. These are chocolate cysts (the debris is dark and oily, like chocolate, but with a sewer smell). There's nothing to be done since there's no cure for endo. I hope you heal quickly and well!
❤❤😊
Put lamp in corner on the end of the couch and center that decor on that wall
You are doing amazing. love your bracelet x
I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but if the rug is just too much hassle - after you've tried different placements - it's also OK to decide that it just doesn't work in this space for you.
You could store it for when you eventually move into a different place. You could loan it to a friend or family member. You could sell or donate it.
You are not morally obligated to keep and use this rug in this space. It's totally your choice!
You could use that trait of getting more done when you have someone coming to motivate yourself.
- You could ask someone to come help you with a small part of it, even if it's just asking for their opinion.
- You could ask Kelly to help you with some of it.
- You could FaceTime with someone as you work on it.
- You could livestream as you work on it.
- You could invite someone over for a visit as a deadline for you to get a chunk of it done.
- You could promise Kelly a treat, an outing, or having a friend over if you get it done by a certain time.
I'm sure others have more ideas on ways to use body doubling and deadlines to help direct your ADHD energy. 😉
