Wow, good for her, that's amazing. She's lucky to have that much light in her apartment, and she's using it well. What an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
It's a lovely idea, but the reality isn't that aesthetically pleasing. There's just not enough light for many of those plants, and they look spindly and sad. The living wall looks awesome, as does the succulant tray on the toilet, and the plant coming down from the high windows on the terracotta wall. But the herbs and the plants in the cool hanging wood with terracotta pots need way more light.

Not a terrible thing to do, and very fulfilling I am sure, but the humidity in the home might be high enough to induce mold to grow. You would need to be careful of that in some locations. But nurturing anything is good for the soul.
Reminds me of that Andie McDowell movie 'Green Card'. She enters into a marriage of convenience so she can keep her plant-filled apartment.
There's no way I would water all those plants.
