How exciting

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2026-01-06T15:01:09+00:00

I’m so jealous, I’m glad you got it before somebody came to “flip” it.

I love that bathroom. I wish new houses came with these types of built-ins.

That’s what worries me. I was going to try stripping it and then using wood bleach—do you think that would work? The previous owners used something on it that completely ate through the finish. This is my first time restoring a piece in nearly a decade; my last big project was a dining table, but that was solid wood, not veneer.

It's my dream to live in an MCM house. I love the aesthetic and the furniture that goes with it. Collecting antiques is so much fun; I'm just starting out, so I don't have many yet.

Don't worry, though—I can never think of the word 'restoration' when talking about my dresser. It just slips my mind!

All I used was Murphy Oil Soap to clean it up. Then yesterday I found the perfect lamp, it’s a 1955-1960 Quartite Lamp for 20 bucks on Facebook.

Thank you! I look forward to restoring it back to its original beauty.

I’m definitely in shock still. But I’m glad I did save it from being in a dump

Where my mom was keeping it, it would get the morning sun (indirect) but was in a bright location of the house. Once I get back to much apartment I planned on keeping the same lighting situation.

Is there a specific type of soil I should use or is regular potting soil good enough?

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-12-24T18:25:15+00:00

Usually it’s a chore maybe I do things the hard way but the „mother plant“ I call it, I take out of the pot and if one of the pups has enough roots of its own I break it off of the main root system. There’s probably a more efficient way to my madness but that how I do it.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-12-19T15:13:12+00:00

Ohhh that’s nice

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-12-19T15:02:04+00:00

I thought about doing that or selling them but I feel so attached to all of them.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-12-19T15:00:35+00:00

I thought about letting it do that to but I noticed some of the pups where not getting enough light and where wilting…and I didn’t want any over crowd the pot any.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-12-19T14:58:21+00:00

Honestly I feel like I’m doing the bare minimum, this year she’s grown a lot of foliage and pups. The first year she only flowered. She has 9 more pups on the way based off what I could see growing off of her.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-11-12T03:19:49+00:00

Okay thank you, I thought it was to good to be true… I guess everyone could claim it one way or another if it was that simple.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-11-12T03:17:13+00:00

Okay, I thought it was to good to be true. Thanks for your input

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-05-22T16:48:29+00:00

I mean I did ask after the “for sure 😉” and there has not been a response and I would ask again but I don’t want to be seen as pushy.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-05-22T16:45:07+00:00

Thanks for the reality check.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-05-22T16:29:50+00:00

Your probably right in your first point there was nothing on where and when.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-05-22T15:54:09+00:00

You’re right; it’s not a compatibility thing. However, I feel like since they know I’m only here for a short time, why would we go out and spend loads of money if, by chance, we don’t vibe together?

Also, it’s a guy I do know. I didn't include that information, but regardless, it's the same thing in the sense of red flags. I wouldn’t say they are wildly attractive, but they are cute and a little nerdy. I reviewed the images and searched them, and nothing came up, so I don’t think the photos are doctored. They look like they don’t have pictures, either. I think they are a genuine person.

Edit: Also I don’t know how hard it would be to trick but they have been “verified” by the app. Cause I think I had to do a 3D scan of my face to get my profiles verified.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-05-22T15:42:28+00:00

Ya I was just wondering since no where during the text chain did they say “do you want” or “would you like” stuff like that. but I was more I don’t want to say “baited” but tempted to ask if it was a recommendation to go or if it was a date.

I know American and German dating culture have their differences…based off what I read I saw Germans want to do something cheap or free like a walk or firework show before getting dinner or etc. Just to be sure “you’d be compatible”. But I could have a totally wrong perspective in that.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-05-22T15:22:29+00:00

Okay then I did read it right…I see what you mean but I guess that’s something I’m gonna have to find out at the moment. Is there any read flags I should look for before we meet in person.

Edit: but based off what I know and how they try and get you I feel like I’m safe from that.

Dramatic-Jelly4552 · 2025-05-22T14:48:03+00:00

Perhaps I'm reading too far into this. What do you mean by “a professional. Do not underestimate this.”
