    I’m in a studio apt. I luv your built Ins but where did you get your bed frame? ❤️❤️

  2. Syarifa Fatimah on September 6, 2022 at 5:14 am

    Question: Was you able to sell the bookcase for the same price/higher when you buy it?

  3. GradKat on September 6, 2022 at 5:14 am

    Very attractive and efficient use of a small space!

  4. jennahoo on September 6, 2022 at 5:14 am

    If you’re coming to Finland, please help me with my space :Dd

  5. Matt Iber on September 6, 2022 at 5:14 am

    Simple is as Simple does!

  6. DipityS on September 6, 2022 at 5:14 am

    I love everything about your space – it is able to attain an almost zen calm comfortable feel – and I know that is after a tidy up and put away and with two people and puss things would get busy – but that you’re are able to get to the point is remarkable with the three of you in that small space. When you decide to give it a clean up before going to bed, it must be an exquisite moment – with the apartment a pleasure to inhabit and the bed looking so welcoming – I hope you all enjoy it very much and are proud of your achievement – and I adore your treasured little pieces of Korean artwork you allowed yourself to bring into your life 😊

  7. Ani Cordova on September 6, 2022 at 5:15 am

    Uh it’d be super cool if you could share some of the process of moving international with a bunch of stuff, all the books and stuff… I’ll be moving next year and I just don’t even know how to manage that hahaha

  8. Study Berry 📚 미국영어 on September 6, 2022 at 5:17 am

    The function and practicality of this space make me so happy!😍😍😍 I love design shows, and of course the decorating aspect, but I get so annoyed when at the end of the show, the homeowners have more aesthetics than organization in their space. This space is beautiful and functional! Our first place was actually smaller than this apartment, so I wish I had seen this video then 😂😂😂

  9. Doudou La Bidou on September 6, 2022 at 5:21 am

    I love this video so much, you are so underrated.

  10. b_isforbutter on September 6, 2022 at 5:22 am

    Thanks for the recap! You really maximized the potential of your small apartment. For whatever reason, I’m sad you’re leaving Korea but I’m glad for your new adventure. Looking forward to hearing more of the details when you’re ready to share.

  11. Cecília Nagy on September 6, 2022 at 5:23 am

    Your skin is glowing and the kitty is so sweet.

  12. Marissa Scott on September 6, 2022 at 5:24 am

    Great content, and such a journey to watch unfold! It’d be cool if in the cost breakdown, you showed what the net price of everything was with how much money you made from downsizing during the move factored in.

  13. BE KNIGHT on September 6, 2022 at 5:24 am

    I’m so excited because of your move. Hoping everything will be 👍!

  14. Hunter Brenaé on September 6, 2022 at 5:25 am

    Hi April, you may have mentioned it already (and I’m so sorry to make you repeat it) but where did you get the LED lights from? I’m interested in buying some in South Korea.

    Thank you in advance and I have really loved this series!!

  15. d niki on September 6, 2022 at 5:32 am

    You work miracles. Your place looks so calm and functional which is quite a feat for a studio, where everything is on one room!

  16. Leticia Amorim on September 6, 2022 at 5:34 am

    Your comment on the excessive handles on kitchens on your previous video was so nice! I agree 100%! I basically have no handles on any cabinet or closet door in my home. So much more practical, cleaner, easier…

  17. The Suitcase Designer on September 6, 2022 at 5:36 am

    For everyone out there living in a tiny space. Stay organized, keep it simple… you can do it!

  18. Tara A on September 6, 2022 at 5:36 am

    Can you do a video on how you downsize and declutter for your move? Really interested to know how you do it.

  19. ThePragmatist on September 6, 2022 at 5:36 am

    If you’re coming to London – please make over my space. 🥰

  20. Molly Marshall on September 6, 2022 at 5:37 am

    I love that you changed the bench to the red velvet cause it adds that small splash of color and goes so well with everything in your apartment!

  21. Deborah on September 6, 2022 at 5:39 am

    I must say I don’t see how your closet is more organized than your husbands…I was expecting to see a bunch of stuff just stuffed – but no. Are you sure you didn’t hang & fold?

  22. Janet Sides on September 6, 2022 at 5:40 am

    My Dec littering journey is ongoing. When I get discouraged, I watch a bunch of your videos! My ten room house is getting so empty. I’m having a garage sale in June. Money for vacation!

  23. MaliBU on September 6, 2022 at 5:40 am

    International move? Where are you going? I want to travel 🙂💛

  24. Janni Dahlmann on September 6, 2022 at 5:40 am

    I dont get Why people leave their dishes to dry when they have cleaned Them. Why dont you just dry it when you washed Them😂😂😂i always wash the things up because the dishes annoy me so the same if they are clean but still there😂sorry for my english😂❤️

  25. Oliwia Bieniek on September 6, 2022 at 5:41 am

    Izzy, language! 😉

  26. Monica on September 6, 2022 at 5:41 am

    Great 😀

  27. Lorie Northcutt on September 6, 2022 at 5:42 am

    When you move do you still plan on doing The Suitcase Designer?

  28. Valli HD on September 6, 2022 at 5:42 am

    Why would anyone think yout working space is ugly?? It`s literally so pretty and calming!

  29. Ms. J on September 6, 2022 at 5:44 am

    Your place looks great. How do you keep your whites looking so bright?

  30. dcandote on September 6, 2022 at 5:45 am

    Gracias muy bonito, buenas soluciones.

  31. Xochi W on September 6, 2022 at 5:46 am

    Great video …. Again!
    And, you’re moving …. Again?
    Can’t wait to watch you ….. Again 😃

  32. ti m on September 6, 2022 at 5:47 am

    I am sorry, I am new here, but are you two really named April and Jackson and your cat is Izzy? 😀 It’s like Grey’s Anatomy in 1 apartment. 😀

  33. Danielle on September 6, 2022 at 5:48 am

    Absolutley love these videos!

  34. pamelawantsmusic on September 6, 2022 at 5:48 am

    Izzy coming for the haters is golden 💀

  35. Pat Walsh on September 6, 2022 at 5:50 am

    You have made this small space a welcoming island of calm and efficiency all while infusing your own personality! What a pleasure it is to watch your progress. (And the "F-off" caption … priceless!!)

  36. Debbie Hoefert on September 6, 2022 at 5:59 am

    Where are you moving to? I love clean minimal too but not my partner 😞

  37. 누누데이 nunuday on September 6, 2022 at 5:59 am

    Awesome 💜

  38. Sabrina on September 6, 2022 at 5:59 am

    where did you get the pendant light?? so pretty

  39. Haley Nicole on September 6, 2022 at 6:00 am

    THANK YOU FOR THIS, my friend is in an itty bitty studio JUST LIKE THIS and I love rearranging things and redecorating and ORGANIZING. I’ve been keeping a phone notes of how I will change it when we have time! They’re king sized bed takes up the whole space nearly, so that is my biggest obstacle

  40. Eni Mai on September 6, 2022 at 6:01 am

    Your cat is so cute! ❤

  41. Krissy Leinen on September 6, 2022 at 6:03 am

    The organization with the containers in the kitchen was so soothing to me! Those automatic lights in the closet are such a small addition but I definitely agree it makes it feel fancier!

  42. myneoangel on September 6, 2022 at 6:04 am

    🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don’t think that’s what that cute little meow was saying 🤣🤣🤣🤣 though it did make me lol quite a bit

  43. Maxime Shasha on September 6, 2022 at 6:04 am

    Where are you moving?.. and when? … just when you finished the studio.. off you go again.. lol!! Love your vids!!😘

  44. Heather Creates on September 6, 2022 at 6:06 am

    You need some plants and some color…even just a little!

  45. M Richards on September 6, 2022 at 6:06 am

    From someone else who loves books, I approve Issy’s message! Books are one item I never mind taking up space in my home.

  46. xena on September 6, 2022 at 6:07 am

    Korea???? Where????

  47. Niknak on September 6, 2022 at 6:09 am

    Ooo, when will you be moving again?

  48. Sthuthie V Murthy on September 6, 2022 at 6:10 am

    🤩 wohooooo!!
    I want to comment something but I dunno what cause I’m bored of telling the same thing about how amazing you are in every video. So, I’m just gonna leave at this.

  49. Scottish Bookgal on September 6, 2022 at 6:10 am

    👏 Well done, the studio looks amazing. Enjoy it for however long you have left there, I already can’t wait to see the next one!

  50. BRENDA'S SPACE on September 6, 2022 at 6:11 am
