I am SO excited to finally show you all the main living space in our new 550 square foot, 1 bedroom apartment!

» Working With A Weird Layout

» How To Plan A Gallery Wall
» DIY Scrap Wood Planter Stands

Hope you love the new space as much as we do!

    I just stumbled upon your channel and so glad I did! You and I have almost the same style and we also have the same media console, and i also have been adding more walnut furniture too, so the DIY gel stain is perfect!!! Loved how it turned out, well done ♥️

  2. Sonya Sanders on January 24, 2021 at 7:47 pm

    👍

  3. Brandon Dennis on January 24, 2021 at 7:48 pm

    Super refreshing to see ideas from someone who also lives on LI. Definitely keeping some of these tips in mind when I move out!

  4. Aqualust on January 24, 2021 at 7:49 pm

    The only video thumbnail without all white furniture. People are so boring and cheap!

  5. Stephanie Boykin on January 24, 2021 at 7:49 pm

  10. Peggy Babler on January 24, 2021 at 7:55 pm

    Where did you order the prints?

  11. Donna Love on January 24, 2021 at 7:56 pm

    Enjoyed video. I have a small bedroom for a child to decorate. I am thinking dorm style. What do you think? It is for a 9yr old boy.

  12. Ricardo da Silva on January 24, 2021 at 7:57 pm

    Awesome final result!!! Great style 😉

  13. Space Flowerchild on January 24, 2021 at 7:59 pm

    Great way to put books is in rainbow order they look so good that way. I’m a major book person. And I have a floor to ceiling bookshelf and it looks great

  14. sweet black on January 24, 2021 at 8:01 pm

    I like the living room but the only con for me is that it feels really dark and dull wish it had more natural lighting

  15. Jody Bellinato on January 24, 2021 at 8:03 pm

    What a great job!!!

  16. NuEnque on January 24, 2021 at 8:06 pm

    *Biggest downside is you’re on LONG ISLAND!*

  17. G. M on January 24, 2021 at 8:07 pm

    That is a challenge but u did it I am tired for u guys just by watching ur video lol

  18. Noreen Harewood on January 24, 2021 at 8:07 pm

    One word: FABULOUS!!✅

  19. xaiuon on January 24, 2021 at 8:08 pm

    You are a handy dandy girl. It’s beautiful!

  20. Insert Name Here on January 24, 2021 at 8:09 pm

    Super cute and cozy❤

  21. becomingellis on January 24, 2021 at 8:13 pm

    This is soooo my go to color palette!

  22. Yasmin Banu on January 24, 2021 at 8:14 pm

    You have done every work without anyone’s help and you are such talented ,Room makeover+ Home tour 🥰

  23. Beverly Palmacci on January 24, 2021 at 8:14 pm

    Good job! This is the 1st of your videos I have seen. In particular, I think your pillow selection is terrific. Am also impressed with your fearless embrace of carpentry tools. In case people don’t know, elevating plants from the floor is important but they still need a saucer to collect water unless you are using a pot with drainage inside a pot with none. Plants should be thoroughly watered then allowed to dry out somewhat.

  24. Khyati Garg on January 24, 2021 at 8:14 pm

    Damn why didn’t you put the TV on the wall by the door and the couch by the wall where tv currently is… 🤔🤔🤔

  25. Sarah Holland on January 24, 2021 at 8:15 pm

    This looks so good! I’m very jealous of the Article sofa & chairs! The landlords choice of grey, with dark wood flooring would have really put me off tbh. It could have looked so dark ,but now it’s beautiful😁

  26. Space Flowerchild on January 24, 2021 at 8:17 pm

    You would seriously be best friends with Mr.Kate. I wanna see a collab so bad!

  27. Natalie Russ on January 24, 2021 at 8:17 pm

    Such a cute apartment

  28. Angela Sepi on January 24, 2021 at 8:18 pm

    talk with your hands much?

  29. SJ Music on January 24, 2021 at 8:20 pm

    Why you paint every thing is dark in colour give white colour to wall its will look good

  30. Elizabeth Sullivan on January 24, 2021 at 8:21 pm

    As a property manager, you’re probably better off using nails vs. Command Strips. After about a year, Command Strip adhesive tends to sink into the drywall and usually tears it when removing, even if you’re careful. We usually tell our tenants to use small nails instead as the holes are generally easier and less expensive to patch. (Doing a quick dab of plaster in a hole and touchup paint is faster than having to do a whole patch where the drywall tore off.)

  31. GamingVest on January 24, 2021 at 8:21 pm

    How large is your TV for that size living space?

  32. Zenia Chirp on January 24, 2021 at 8:21 pm

    Love the shelf you built. Layout and decor is fab.

  33. Patricia Vrtis on January 24, 2021 at 8:22 pm

    Nice !!!

  34. Tutone Lyles Naranjo on January 24, 2021 at 8:22 pm

  36. Sherise Eason on January 24, 2021 at 8:28 pm

    Long Island in the house I never see people in apartments in Long Island this is great

  37. iswarya nandini on January 24, 2021 at 8:28 pm

    Just when I thought of doing a gallery wall , now you have changed my mind 😆
    Why not that

  38. California Dreamer on January 24, 2021 at 8:29 pm

    Beautiful! I was skeptical about the couch off the wall with that seemingly wasted space behind, but WOW! I have an open concept room with an asymmetrical fireplace to the ceiling and I’ve been here 7 years and can’t get it right. This is making me look at it in a whole new way. Thank you.

  39. TheMatchaMO on January 24, 2021 at 8:30 pm

    Hey girl idk if ur gonna read this but I recently moved from the us to Japan and this move has been terrible and stressful and my depression has creeped back in. Decorating my space is what’s keeping me motivated and I needed this video thank you ❤️

  40. jollie Sibayan on January 24, 2021 at 8:32 pm

    That DIY shelf is amazing!

  41. Marcela Baeza on January 24, 2021 at 8:32 pm
