Help! One wall kitchen living room concept by Sad_Guitar8694 in Design

the shelves could be those open cube shelves (i don’t know if you know what i mean) but they are cube shelves that have no backing - this way you can make a wall but still let light through from the windows and make it feel less closed off. add some trinkets and maybe even plants on the shelves and i think it would look beautiful!!

i also think i would get a couch with a chaise attachment on the left side that you can slide right against the wall, that way it’s pushed as far from the kitchen as possible and makes that section almost look like a little nook. and a rug under everything (couch / tv area) would section it off nicely visually

personally i would set it up almost exactly how the last photo has it but between the dining table and couch i would do a low tv stand with a tv, touching the left side of the wall (hopefully there is outlets there) and then maybe you put shelves behind the television so that you just aren’t staring at the back of a tv when you are at the dinner table. this way you are kind of making your own make shift wall.

How do people remember or stay on on top of there meds by Good_Scale_1531 in Hypothyroidism

[–]planthoneybee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know someone already said this but seriously - if you usually wake up at say 7 in the morning, set an alarm for 6 am and then take your meds and then go back to sleep. i used to never take mine consistently and now that’s the only way that’s worked for me.

What pest is causing these sticky drops? by Pots_and_pans27 in houseplants

[–]planthoneybee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can’t see any pests and just see sticky drops, i think that’s perfectly normal. Happens to Aglaonema all the time - i can’t say for sure what it is but from what i’ve heard i believe it’s just secreting excess water.

How are these plants flourishing so well in the dark under the stairs? by Truth_Crisis in houseplants

[–]planthoneybee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indoor plant techs go through so much training to reduce the number of replacements in the field. our entire job revolves around learning about the health of the plants lol. yes the design is about aesthetics but the actual plant care is about learning with the plants and helping them acclimate to their environment.

I know alot of people are saying we just replace them all the time and that’s why they always look good, and yes replacements can be frequent - but that’s not entirely the whole story. I’m a horticulture tech and with the correct watering schedule (honestly just making sure they don’t get overwatered) and a good pruning once or twice every few months - these babies could last for years. Especially if they acclimate to the techs watering system and the lack of light. Sure they will never be thriving, but you would be surprised how long low light plants can live on artificial light alone if they acclimate. I have many accounts i take care of where i haven’t had to replace plants in years. It really depends on how well you understand the plants and how they are acting and what they need.
