Hi, I just stumbled on to this and immediately felt a sense of kinship. It reminds me of my own small studio apartment which is not as ample but has that light and intentional vibe. I’m new to this lifestyle having left my husband just eight months ago. After many many years. Alone is becoming a good thing, slowly. Having a peaceful home truly helps. I loved yours and want to say thank you.
Thank you for the kind message! Breakups are so difficult and learning to live alone can be so hard in the beginning! I’m glad you’re starting to see the good sides, there is a certain beauty in it too. Have a lovely weekend 🥰
Hi! I’m from México, I saw your video on Sunday wild having breakfast and I loved it! Your apartment is nice and cozy, really beautiful. I like read too and I live alone in a small apartment like you. 🪴
Your apartment is gorgeous! Everything that you have feels intentional and beautifully placed. Your plants are part of your decor! The light you get in your apartment is superb. I love your sofa so much! Thank you for sharing your beautiful apartment.
Thank you for inviting us into your beautiful apartment! I adore the green velvet upholstery on your sofa.❤ My favorite part about your apartment is how it is serene and uncluttered yet warm and inviting. I am in awe of your plants especially your ability to nurture the little plant into a full-sized "statement" plant. You have every right to be proud of that. I hope you had a great week.
Thank you for the tour of your lovely apartment! It is so clean and uncluttered. It looks to me like a peaceful haven. Wishing you the best from North Carolina, USA!
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 😊, love,love,love your chanel....your plants are so pretty 😍, I'm a plant lover as well, and the books... the smell of paperback books, just love it ❤. Thank you.
Your apartment is so serene and beautifully put together. I don't iron my cover either 😊. I love monstera plants too, unfortunately I left mine in full view of my living room window that provides a burst of sunlight causing the leaves to burn. I'm amazed you had the monstera when it was a desk plant.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I also keep the plant in front of a window but Finland is not really the sunniest of places, we get a lot of overcast days so my real worry is whether my plants get enough sun! 😅
I love the black and white curtain in the dining room. So dramatic! You did a great job interspersing plants throughout the apartment. They really liven up the place. They look very curated. Love it.
I love how standing in the living room you can see the color of the drape in the bedroom and that the colors are cohesive. I helps your eye flow visually around the space. very nice.
I must say Emma… you did a fantastic job! Not only your place is beautiful and cozy, you hid your TV pretty well. I didn’t even notice you have one until someone mentioned it! 😂. I’m still drooling over your decor, your plants and the light coming in from the windows. I’m obsessed! Love, love, love your place!!! ❤️
Absolutely lovely apartment, and the sofa is amazing. Love it. And of course the balcony...morning coffee on sunny balcony makes me feel ready for my day....
Lovely apartment. Love all the light and plants. You have it decorated so very nice. I live in a tiny apartment in Arizona. It's 450 sq ft. I love decorating! I too like to read real books! In fact I just ordered a book from Amazon today 😁 Thank you so much for the wonderful and relaxing tour of your home. I've liked and subscribed.
Lovely. The natural light in your space is delightful. Your entrance dresser is magnificent, and all of your plants make it feel homey. Thanks kindly for sharing.
I wish landlords in Japan would let me hang portraits or tapestry 🙏 I loved watching this vlog and reading your stories. My favorite part of the house which I found unique was the wall separating the kitchen and living room. It is so nice that you pit the shelves there and that you can easily go in and out of the kitchen! Your house is so cozy too!!! 😍
Thank you for the comment! I really like the wall too, open concept spaces are beautiful but I like to have separate spaces for different functions in the house. ☺️
The empty space meant for a dishwasher is perfect for anything on casters--a serving cart, drawered storage or a wine rack. Ikea has lots of clever, practical storage items to fit into all sorts of cubby holes. The little trash bin looks so lonely in there, lol.
I just love your apartment. You are artistic like your mother. Her owl is wonderful. I just love your botanical prints. Your plants so lovely. I don’t have enough light inside but I have a large garden. Thank you so much for sharing. 🥰
Looks so cozy and lovely place! Especially the sunshine from outside is all around your place and it makes people who are whatching this video warm. Love your video!
Absolutely lovely video (randomly suggested by RU-vid). Your home is charming and organized and looks like it would be cozy to live in. Also, love the calmness of the video with the music and the subtitles. Just lovely. Thank you. ❤
I just found your channel. I had a dear friend from Helsinki I met in college over 35 years ago and lost touch with. TFS your space and life. I worked from home 3 days a week before the pandemic. So not too much of a change for me. I live in a suburban-urban home. Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year
What a beautiful place, very cozy, but also in such a Good taste.... Thank you SO much. My whole apartment is from ikea:) I live in West Poland, sending you lots of smiles...you also play very beautiful music in your video. THANK YOU SO MUCH 😉
I just watched this video now :) I love everything about your apartment I can see you live a peaceful and harmonious life and you are present with your surroundings as you put energy into having things that bring you joy and Peace and I see your gratitude expressed in details around your home. This video made me feel happy Thank you for sharing have a lovely day or night 😊🙏💕
It’s a lovely place whether alone or with a partner you should be happy to live there! Great plant collection, shows you are a nurturing & caring person.
You have a lovely home. In the UK we tend to keep the washing machine in the kitchen. If you put yours where the dishwasher would go you would have room in the bathroom for extra storage as this was an area you said needed attention. X
I love your vlogs. I live half the world away in Melbourne Australia l feel a sense of peace and happiness watching your life. Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers laura🪴🌴🌳🪴🌵🌲
You have such a serene, lovely space. Definitely one of those places where you can tell a lot about the person who occupies their home simply by stepping in. I really loved how you used some gifts from your family and friends, such as the art prints and maps on your walls, as decor, as well as the Marimekko print -- it's so sweet! It was also fun to try and spot all of the titles that I could recognize on your bookshelf. :) I have to keep my own bookshelf minimal and digital for the time being, especially as I plan and save up for an international trip (and eventually an international move), but I dream of filling shelves with lots of lovely books.
I've just came across your channel today, and what an inspiring surprise! Thank you for this tour, your home looks absolutely beautiful and cozy ♡ Cheers from Canada!
Hello. I discvover your channel today. Thank you for presenting this very shiny appartement. I will take a look to some of your other video. Have a nice day. Flo from France 😊
Hello from the Emmi. ☺️ You have a lovely home. I have a green velvet couch on my wish-list, for our next home. There is something so cosy, but luxurious, about them. Thanks for sharing. 💐🐨
Lovely apartment, so neat and tidy. I especially like the big windows letting in so much light. I would have liked to have seen your balcony space perhaps in another video. Found - browsed your list videos :)
Hi, I live in Australia. I came across your video by chance and I just love it! You have a lovely home. I would probably have decorated it similar to you as I love what you have done with it, minimal but very modern and cozy. Thank you so much for sharing with everyone 🌞
Lovely, "home is where the heart is" BTW, I also have "Paris Chic" by French designer /stylist Ines de la Fressange here in Yankee New England, small world! Hope you get a small dishwasher some day, they're a god scend! I have one in my condo apt. and also an electric fireplace! I've had real fireplaces in other homes but when I retired years ago, I made sure I had an electric one set into a white mantel because it not only adds warmth in a northern climate, it also adds a nice charming, cozy ambiance, which we all need in the fall and winter! Thanks for sharing your home. Your plants seem happy, too!
Great apartment ! I see you have your lovely perfumes on display, light and heat will destroy your perfumes, best put them in a cool dark place to preserve them. 👍🏻
What a lovely home! You've inspired me to continue working on mine. I get frustrated with it sometimes, especially since my plants don't look as lovely as yours. They're always a work in progress. It was delightful to see you have so many of the same books I have. You have good taste! ;P Anyway, thank you for sharing!
Hi Friend! I just rewatched your video from year ago. I’m so sad you stopped filming but I guess you’re busy with your life. Just stopped to say hi and to thank you 🙏 for your wonderful videos.
Thanks Emmi, your apartment is really beautiful, I also rent a one bedroom apartment in Vancouver BC You are obviously happy in your space as I am also .👏 Mary Canada 🍁
That was fascinating, Emmi! So beautiful and extremely neat and clean. The only thing I would have liked is to know what you see when you look out of your windows, whether you like the view, whether there are any landmarks visible, whether you like living in the location in Helsinki that you do - obviously you love your apartment, and who wouldn't love it?! Those are the questions that came to my mind while I watched the tour. One day I would like to visit Helsinki, although it would have to be in the summer because I saw some photos today on YLE News (English language version) of the Independence Day raising of the flag and it looked so cold! But I guess that is why you have saunas! :-) Thank you for sharing your apartment with us.
Thank you for the comment and feedback Amanda! I try to not give too many details about where I live just for privacy purposes. ☺️ Yes it is very cold here at the moment! Finland is beautiful during summer and I definitely recommend visiting then! 🥰
@@EmmiLa Yes, I thought that might be why you were careful, and you are so right to do this because it is very important. I was just curious about whether you like living in Helsinki, and whether you lived anywhere to close to the most important monuments, or anything else that was dear to you because you were close to it. Still, privacy and security must always come first. But thank you so much for sharing your life here on RU-vid because I am certainly very interested. I understand the cost of living in Helsinki is very high compared with the UK, but then you have such a wonderful education system and uptake of technology, so these things cost money! :-)
