2 Bedroom Apartment Decorating For Comfort!

2 Bedroom Apartment Decorating For Comfort!

New Spring Decor For My 2 Bedroom Apartment! 2022 Trends & Chat! I did a bedroom makeover in the latest trends of green, whicker & bamboo candles and textured vintage quilts and pillows I found at Walmart & Amazon. I found a beautiful rug for my living room bringing the outside in.
I show you some flower arrangements I made in honor of the times we live in. We tour my apartment bedroom and living room and I get to share with you the new spring decor that I bought on a budget and I mean budget!
I share with you a very intimate story about my life and why seeing the bravery of the Ukrainian women carrying their children inspired me to make a centerpiece of the colors of the Ukraine flag in blue and gold.
Thank you so much for being here.
It means the world to me that we share our stories so openly.
It was a pretty rough week but through it all I am left hopeful and wiser… I perhaps am a woman better prepared to create a better path going forward.

I love you to the moon and back,
Susan & Desi

You want a new life…a new path…and you are looking for a sign, a reason…..searching for an answer to a question that deep down, you already know. Your destiny is right there waiting for you…all you have to do is take the first step in your brand new shoes.

    I just love your videos! You have such a calming, peaceful and beautiful way of telling your stories. I am going to do the floral arrangement for Ukraine as well! Wonderful way to remind us every day how blessed we are and a time to stop and continue to pray for them. QUESTION: can you show your plants and the lighting in the plants you’ve done in a video please? Or maybe you already have? Take care! 💜

  2. Kitty Glitter on January 15, 2023 at 3:33 am

    Desi is so darn cute! 😘

  3. Lyndas Locs on January 15, 2023 at 3:33 am

    You have a great eye for decorating.

  4. Pj Lewis on January 15, 2023 at 3:34 am

    I’m a single mature lady artist. I have always been attracted to the same kind of art as you. …perhaps for many of the same reasons. I even have a "Maralyn" show going on now at our local coffee shop in our small town. I feel that it may not be a bad display of the truth of how things are. But I am thanking you for making me think more deeply about this.

    I had two brothers with Muscular Dystrophy. Mom carried them because they could not walk. She gave them opportunities to learn and travel.
    Mom was the best.
    I can’t fill her shoes, only remember her with love and gratitude. She smiled every day until the day she died.
    She survived the Holocaust.

  8. Nancy Battersby on January 15, 2023 at 3:37 am

    I just bought some blue hydrangea’s, so beautiful, I will add them to some of my yellow flowers and stand for Ukraine, thanks for this idea. Love all your videos. I also live in a 2 bedroom apt and love it.

  9. Peacebound1 on January 15, 2023 at 3:38 am

    DKNY- you pronounce each letter individually. Love your videos! 🥰 You are always so peaceful and positive. A joy to watch.

  10. barbara dobson on January 15, 2023 at 3:43 am

    The DKNY on your curtains are for Donna Karan New York….. I love them also…… I also have the rug in a 2×3 ft. Got it years ago.

  13. Deb Briggs on January 15, 2023 at 3:48 am

    You are such a special lady and a blessing to all. When you see those words like together, gather, family, etc. Do you still feel it? When I was young it had meaning to me, but now I’m alone I dont feel it. It kinda hurts to see these things of what once was. I love your style and place, as so many would like to capture in their homes. Thank you for your videos. XO

  14. Adelita Soto on January 15, 2023 at 3:48 am

    I look forward to your videos you have great ideas thanks for sharing❤️

  15. Patricia on January 15, 2023 at 3:49 am

    Beautiful video Little Poet! Thank you for your Lovely tribute to the people of Ukraine!! God Bless them and all of us!! 🙏❤
    BTW, your decor is Gorgeous, and Desi (and you) are so fashionable and smart!!!😊

  16. Nanci on January 15, 2023 at 3:49 am

    thank you for showing the Ukrainian Flag it originated in 1858 but was not allowed to be flown when Russians invaded during WW1. But when the Wall fell, the flag was resurrected. Blue is the peace of the sky and yellow the wheat of the country, bread basket of Europe. . It is freedom of the land that depends on the sky We pray for peace and our land to be free of the Invaders Thank you again

  17. Pamela Privette on January 15, 2023 at 3:50 am

    I have really enjoyed this video—in many different ways!

  18. Lillian Elliott on January 15, 2023 at 3:50 am

    Susan you’re such an inspiration to all of us ladies. I love your little puppy He is adorable. We need to pray for Ukraine and all the people that has lost their loved ones this week. I love the color green also I have a huge back porch I believed here nine years and I never have painted it so green is the color. I have a lot of plants out there so I have to move out a lot of stuff before I paint. I’m sure you understand if you’re a person that goes thrifty. God bless you for mentioning Ukraine.

  19. Erin Loo on January 15, 2023 at 3:51 am

    You are not being told the truth about UKraine.

  20. Kim Turner on January 15, 2023 at 3:52 am

    The quilt set is still available on Amazon 👍

  21. Marek on January 15, 2023 at 3:53 am

    People in China also learn and speak English

  22. Saundra Womack on January 15, 2023 at 3:54 am

    Very inspiring regarding the floral center piece, in honor of the Ukraine Mother’s, their children, and all the families suffering so greatly! I too feel deep sadness for them.

  23. Janet M on January 15, 2023 at 3:56 am

    I love your style your home is beautiful and cozy. It’s you and it’s your comfort zone. Love that!!! Thank you for acknowledging the people of Ukraine. Sometimes I think people have put all that aside. I think of them often and their courage. I also love the way you put your videos together. Calming and beautiful.

  24. Karen Seward on January 15, 2023 at 3:56 am

    Your bedroom is gorgeous!

  26. Kathleen Manley on January 15, 2023 at 3:58 am

    I have only just joined your channel today but I wonder something. In all the videos did you assure the ladies out there that even if they are crushed by their man moving out it brings good things? I’m not a man hater, in fact I’m very parochial to their company and I’ve heard many times that they can talk to me like nobody else. BUT, when my last relationship broke up I was flattened. Not right away, but eventually I felt so lost. Then, I began some interesting things, I felt good about beginning things that I would never have done if I was still with him. So a break up will reveal itself as a good thing, I wonder.

  27. Tracey Gartrell on January 15, 2023 at 3:59 am

    Absolutely gorgeous

  28. Joan M on January 15, 2023 at 3:59 am

    Lol it’s not " dinkie "its short for Donna Karen New york.but I’m saying this to you in a nice way. So please don’t take it wrong

  29. Carlene Calmes on January 15, 2023 at 3:59 am

    Yes tears!

  30. Sadia Arman on January 15, 2023 at 4:03 am

    You are a poet and you needed to match with an artist.

  31. ThriftieGirlTreasures on January 15, 2023 at 4:04 am

    Love your style. I’m currently separated from my husband of 20 years and "homeless" as the house was willed to him by his Mother. I’m living with my beautiful daughter and her family. Which I’m thankful and blessed for. He will not compromise and move with me. So at 60 I’m starting over. Scared, fearful, nervous, crying and praying all the time. I’ve binged watched your videos and I’m so thankful for you. Definite inspiration for me. I have my ebay business of 1 year and wished I could just do that, but alas it will not be the case and I’ll have to go back to work. And thats ok too. Blessings to you beautiful soul.

  32. donna mclaughlin on January 15, 2023 at 4:04 am

    Thank you for this video. Peace and joy to all. 💛💙🌼🦋

  33. Rosemary Brewington on January 15, 2023 at 4:05 am

    I love your cow footage, it brings me so many memories. Thank you Susan and God Bless You 🙏

  34. Rosemary Brewington on January 15, 2023 at 4:08 am

    I bought flowers and signs to decorate my deck where I sit in the morning to see to sunrise and drink my coffee

  35. Faye E on January 15, 2023 at 4:08 am

    Hello Susan how are you doing? I’ve watched nearly every video that you have put out within two days. LOL I’m noticed your little fur baby seemed so sad. Of course that may be just his personality but I was wondering he may not be feeling well. Or he may be depressed. How long have you had him?

  36. Lynn Nelson on January 15, 2023 at 4:10 am

    You have the best decor in your arms, your precious dog.

  37. Dorothy T. on January 15, 2023 at 4:12 am

    I hope you find your little house. I’m rooting for you.

  38. Janice Hall on January 15, 2023 at 4:13 am

    It sounds like you are blossoming. I’ve been divorced 28 years so I understand everything that you went through and what you’re going through and Bravo to you for coming out the other end better than ever. I just want to say I really like the floral pillow covers on your couch. Could you tell me where you purchase them please.

  39. Kathy Johnston on January 15, 2023 at 4:14 am

    I am trying to add a bit of boho design to my cute cottage. Like you mentioned there are so many great ways to go. I have a tendency to use them all. Then have to get rid of a few. But a bit of vintage will always stay with me

  40. DosSantos64 on January 15, 2023 at 4:18 am

    Hello Susan! Why wait to chance your art about lonely women next year? Why not now, when they not give you joy and not reflect who you are any more? A big hug from a friend in Sweden. <3

  41. Rosemary Brewington on January 15, 2023 at 4:19 am

    Susan, you are the same as I am. I think mentioned in one of videos that your Birthday was in January, mine is on the 6th. My bedroom is like yours, my quilt is lavender, purple and green but the print is pretty close. I love your apartment…….you have a knack😁. I have a antique family heirlooms.

  42. Stephanie Barrett on January 15, 2023 at 4:20 am

    Hi Susan, loving your videos…fashion shows, decorating, and makeup ideas. I have one question (for now!) Do you date? And if so, where do you find men? I’ve been on dating sites (I’m 60), and it seems impossible to meet anyone like that at my age. I would really love to hear what you have to say. I am not desperate to find a man….just someone to dine with, go to a move, etc. You are so inspiring!!

  43. oh my goodness on January 15, 2023 at 4:20 am

    im fantasy of me being in your bedroom

  44. Rosemary Brewington on January 15, 2023 at 4:20 am

    I also love the new green in the bedroom. I make all of my flower arrangements and several wreathes

  45. Estelle Creative Designs on January 15, 2023 at 4:20 am

    I love the rug! Sage green has been one of my main colors for years.

  46. Deb Briggs on January 15, 2023 at 4:23 am

    Maybe blank faces or being alone in art is just easier and is left to the imagination or mood. Calm and peaceful is good but maybe the drama keeps us spry. When I was young and strong, I thought i could handle a disaster if one occurred. Now that I’m older, I’m not so sure of how long I could last through one. As we know, everything changes and a person’s abilities and purpose changes with age. Do love the smiles the cows bring. They are so cute and are so much smarter than we are led to believe. Like the pic you posted. I think as we age, our eyes are opened to notice more around us (a heightened sense) of safety/security, time to smell those roses.

  47. corazon estoesta on January 15, 2023 at 4:25 am

    Thank you for this video, I’m learning a lot. You had updated your decorations and some furniture. I had been praying for that country Ukraine, may they have peace. I have come to realize that we should count our blessing where ever we are and thank God for it. God bless you Susan and your loved ones.

  48. Janice Hall on January 15, 2023 at 4:25 am

    I loved your tribute to Ukraine and the brave mothers and people who are going through this devastating situation. The flower arrangement looks beautiful and I’m sure it will remind you everyday of how fortunate we are to be where we are at this moment. I too love plants and candles and beautiful floral prints. Your apartment is beautiful.

  49. Phyllis Wininger on January 15, 2023 at 4:26 am

    We just returned from a river cruise through the Netherlands. The cities all have Ukranian flags flying
    to show the Ukranian people they are welcome. Cruise ships are housing the Ukranian people and giving them food and clothing . Volunteer groups are helping them find jobs. Our Captain gave them access to
    our wi fi so they could contact loved ones.
    They had only escaped seven days before and there were many emotions between them and our
    travelers. It was an unexpected encounter and one we will never forget.

  50. Rosemary Brewington on January 15, 2023 at 4:27 am

    I meant earlier that we are the same age.
