apartment tour | parents' basement edition lol 

Ok but considering how many people had to move back home or downsize apartments during covid this video is really awesome and shows the potential people can have to really design their spaces

Not this basement being nicer than my actual apartment🤫 You really have a gift for design girl

this is beyond impressive, this is raw talent

Don’t feel like you need to buy clothes. I think having a minimal wardrobe is really a blessing. It’s great what you have done with the basement.

tell me why i got emotional for kalel seeing her finally come on camera AND with a missing tooth lol. i feel like you’ve come so far in tackling your filming anxiety you’ve talked about recently. so SO thrilled you uploaded!! ❤️

Kalel, you should be so incredibly proud of what you’ve done to make this space YOURS! It looks incredible and inspires me on every level! It doesn’t matter if it’s a luxury apartment or your parents basement that you’re living in, none of it takes away from the fact that YOU are so talented, creative, and determined! Thank you for sharing this with us, everything about it is gorgeous!!!!

Whoaaaa!!!! What a beautiful space!! You’re so creative 😍😍😍

Kalel is textbook example of a nice person getting sucked in into the influencer, shallow LA environment, struggling for years, go into several transformation, to to going back home. I hope she gets the love and compassion she deserves from her family and she moves forward into her healing progress.

Girl I’ve been watching your videos for like 10 years. I never comment but I just wanted to say how proud this video made me? You just made a video missing a damn tooth and in your parents basement… like…. Old kalel would NEVER. Life is wild and takes us to some weird places and it’s amazing to see you smiling and still sharing your life with us. I found your first videos (queenbeeuty days) when I was 20 years old and GOING THROUGH IT with my depression and agoraphobia and your videos made me feel less alone. I’ve always kept up with your videos and followed you all these years and whenever you make a video it just feels like an old friend is catching up with me. I wish you all the best!

this is legitimately the chic-est the midwest has ever looked. you've put my animal crossing interior design to shame.

Kalel, just wanted to tell you how amazing I think you are. I've been watching you for years and years, and when you disappear there is always something missing. You are such a cool person, you're so self-ironic, so down to earth, so honest, funny, classy. I would literally watch you review like the most boring thing, because I know you would make it fun with your personality. Excited to see what you will share with us next. And thank you for being so open about what is going on in your life. Love you!

remember kids, its not about what you have… its what you do with it.

this is the most beautiful parents' basement apartment i've ever seen lol

This is actually the most metal thing I’ve ever seen and I want you to design my new house

Kalel: I moved into my parents basement Also Kalel: *builds an absolute palace out of ikea stuff*

This must’ve been quite vulnerable and I’m proud of you for making a video, especially with the tooth! (You still look stunning) Your viewers are still here and the place looks amazing, especially with the budget challenge- like a showroom!

Only Kalel could make an unfinished basement look THAT cute. Girl how did you not go into interior design?

This is such an inspiration for people who don't have a massive budget to create their space. You did magic with $1000! Your creativeness never ceases to amaze me.

I just love you 🤍🤍🤍 your ability to make anything you touch a work of art is so special

always liked you but now you're actually relatable. of course i hope you can get your life back to what you want it to be soon, but meanwhile, girl is making the best of it and we're here for it.

Wait your apartment is amazing, you’re honestly so talented with interior design like that’s crazy your room is in a basement! Like your house looks like a small apartment I could live in.

This is so creative! I’d rather watch this than most of the RU-vid house tours. Be proud!

No but this is actually so much more impressive than if you’d been redesigning an expensive apartment? It’s so incredibly inspiring

Kalel needs to design micro apartments!! She really made use out of every possible square inch of that space!

Thank you for normalization going through hard times but still making it work! We all have our ups and downs and it’s refreshing seeing a successful RU-vidr just live a normal life that so many of us live.

Super impressed! Wow. When things turn around for you, you’re going to look back on these times with some fondness, I think. You’ll think of the extra time you got to spend with your parents and how they were there for you in a time of such need. You’ll remember building furniture with your dad. You’re going through something but you’re going to recover, and you’re going to be so grateful for all the good things that I’m confident are coming your way.

Next level creative interior design, home organisation, Pilates (low-impact and hormone balancing movement), language learning, Korean cooking...not to mention overcoming personal fears and making the best of everything...damn, I'm so inspired by this woman!! Thank you so much for this video Kalel. As someone who's been living in a foreign country for the past couple years, the frustration of language barriers has slowly become smaller as I've increased my fluency. However, seeing you slowly but persistently acquire Korean while not even living in Korea is just...so inspiring. I really hope you can go to Korea another day when it's good to do so. All the best to you and God bless you

I specifically remember a bedroom of yours that had the most cozy vibes filled with bookshelves and warm lighting . It still inspires me to this day. You absolutely have an eye for design. This is amazing! Making basements chic since 2021

Girl you could be an interior designer!!!! All of it is soo nice 💜

Can I just say how nice it is to be able to actually relate to a youtuber? 😩 Usually when a youtuber shows us their living space, it's in an expensive apartment or house that most of us will never be able to afford, and while I also like seeing that stuff sometimes, it also kinda makes me feel like shit about being poor. So thankyou for showing us what you did with the space available to you financially!

I’m so proud of you Kalel! This is the happiest I’ve ever seen you (been following since 2012) and it’s beautiful. Sending love

Yay, an upload!! You’re so talented Kalel 🤩 it’s amazing what you’ve done! ❤️

it baffles me how you literally turn every situation into a dream... definitely pulling inspiration from you--per usual

Booki's meow added 20 years onto my life~

I love how much you embrace this situation and make it as best as possible! Your design and budgeting skills on this are sooooo good. I will definitely be using some of these ideas. Including doing makeup sitting down!

Been here for the last 10 years and I've loved watching you grow and find yourself again. Your laugh is still one of the sweetest things ever. And the babies have gotten so big. I'm proud of where you've ended up ❤

Me, with my whole ass apartment, vigorously taking notes over your basement setup. This is gorgeous! I love the makeup vanity idea, and thank you for explaining how you made it happen. I love the idea of doing my makeup on the floor.

I was skeptical with the premise at first but…you went off with this! Kudos.

This reminded me of your dorm tour from sooo long ago! I still remember your binder and organization from back then and was always so fascinated by your unique ways of organizing and decorating.

I have watched you from the beginning. ❤️ this has been by far one of my favorite videos into your life. Thank you for being vulnerable. I think the whole set up is awesome!

I am beyond impressed with everything from the linen walls to the usage of FISHING LINE for hanging up frames. Plus the design is super cute !! I love it😭😂

k but i like poor kalel cuz shes so much more relatable lol

You’re amazing. I myself have been struggling with a lot in my life in general, a big thing being depression. Watching you and the way you handle your life even in tough situations, gives me so much hope. So thank you for that hope and remember that you’re inspiring so many more people then you know! Things get hard all the time but we couldn’t have the good things without dealing with the bad! Life is too short to let those things overwhelm your mind. You’ve helped me to understand that more! Sending you love and warm/comforting vibes.💓💓

You've truly outdone yourself! Its beautiful in there and as an introvert who craves independence, seeing the lil kitchen makes me feel a sense of security and happiness! How fun! What a cool place to just kick it and take care of yourself! You also look as beautiful as ever, so please don't worry about any of that stuff. I'm happy you are following your heart, Kalel. I hope you are doing better and you are happy. ❤❤❤

everyone agrees that this is a masterpiece. i'm literally crying over how beautiful this is

I am LIVING for this Missouri, down-to-Earth, DIY Kalel! 🙌♥️

This room ticks of all my boxes. I love that it was made 1000% by you and your dad. Nice work!

I am so impressed with how you were able to transform the place! This really inspired me!!

You go Kalel. Imagine even paying rent in California for a similar decorated place? Through the roof! Actually it's more common these days for multi generations of family members to be living together than ever before due to everything that is going on. You have created in incredible space. :)

you did a fantastic job, you should do videos about decorating/home building on a budget. I would 100% watch that if it meant I didn't have to spend thousands more than I had to

You have such an eye for design. You really made the space look amazing.

Literally such a vibe

The ending LOL “If you noticed this spot, I promise I do not shit the bed.”😂😂😂😂😂

KALEL!!!!! WTF!!?!. This came out AMAZING! Could this be your calling? Your level of design skill and organization is something that is out of this world and is very sought after. You could help people do this to their own spaces. Think about it. You are so talented!

I was so thrilled to see a new video from you!!! I admire how much thought and love you put into your living spaces no matter what your budget is. Looking forward to more videos from you! Stay well!

Honestly you did amazing, you have always had a flair for interior design.

I’m a single mom that got evicted and is now living in my god parents basement with my daughter. This is all part of the process of gods plan to an amazing life. Keep moving forward, you’re on the track to success.

Kalel you need to start a tik tok. If you posted your apartment tour on tik tok (and marketed it as your parents basement on a budget) then you’d get a LOT of views from the Gen Z crowd. Next time film yourself and your dad building and decorating the place tho so you can do a time lapse.

Kalel, I love what you did to the basement!! you really have a gift for design!! and I also wanna say that I love how real this is, life is not always as you want it to be but to make the best of the situation is really what you can do. Love that you're back on youtube!

i love your authenticity always, wishing you well

Kalel you are quite resourceful! I'm always amazed at how you can transform a space into something so cozy and beautiful 😊 looking forward to the beauty content! 💖

Maybe your next era should be doing interior design for other people! Honestly this is so so lovely

This is ACTUALLY pretty impressive interior design, imo! Thank you for posting this!👏🏾

This is genuinely so lovely. I did something like this in high school in my parent's attic, but this is on a whole new level. Thank you for sharing and showing you don't need to spend thousands of dollars to make a space beautiful!

Girl, you need to become an interior designer. This looks great!! Maybe thats your new path.

Imagine if Kalel started room makeover series I think I would actually die

I almost cried, your talent amazes me everytime.

I LOVE what you did with your space! You're so talented. The kitchenette and vanity setup is my favorite part. The ceiling is definitely giving me that industrial feel which looks great with the modern theme you have going. As a fellow vampire I'm so inspired from your creativity and hope to have a cozy dungeon of my own in the future.

You could make a career out of designing, Kalel. Stunning!

Me and my ass thinking it’s a basement, what Could she have possibly done to it that it’s worth a tour? This girl literally built an apartment out of curtains 😂 I was in Schock how good it looks and how it’s actually worth a tour ! What an Ambiente !!

You really have a gift for designing any space. I love it girl!

You have SUCH an eye for interior design omgggg I love this!!!!

You have such a gift for making literally any space cozy. So happy to see you back

I loved the “I don’t shit on bed” ending anecdote. 😂😂 Perfection! ✨

Wow I am so impressed!! You did an amazing job. I would love to see more home decor/organization videos! You've inspired me to redecorate my room

I'm literally in love of the design, cute and comfy😻

I also live in my parents basement and I'm 26 with my 4 year old. You did a awesome job! This made me happy that I'm not alone with where I am in life. I'm happy to see you making videos again. We're going to be okay 😊❤

Why is this tour the best thing ever and one of my favourite spaces you have had

Your a boss at decorating, loved all the spaces you had made your own. Its all about the mood.

I am so proud of you! This is AMAZING! You're so gifted at interior design. I'm so inspired!

This is legitimately the highlight of my week. I’ve had trouble enjoying things recently, but this FaceTime (as someone in the comments said) was truly refreshing. You really have a knack for design/ making a space look really nice. Love the creativity, love your brain.

But fr this is absolutely beautiful and actually cozy. Girl you’re giving me some inspiration cuz you really don’t need a lot to make a place feel yours.

This is incredible! You completely utilized that space, it looks amazing.

You have lived in a lot of really nice apartments but this is somehow my absolute favorite!

You are absolutely the most relatable person on this platform!

Kalel tell your dad he needs a DIY/build-it-yourself youtube channel, he seems insanely talented just like you!

Love you, your ability to overcome challenges always motivates me!

Wow, very nice Kalel. I'm impressed and excited for what is to come!

This made me get up and clean my house. Your living spaces always inspire me!

The headboard and end tables is such a brilliant design, I am so in love with that!

I’m obsessed! These types of videos are my favorite! Missed you Kalel and appreciate you for uploading. Hoping to see more videos of you!

You really have an eye for interior design. Everything you put together just works! It looks incredible and honestly a wonderful living space. I loved this tour and thank you for sharing❤️

You have such a knack for interior design! The whole vibe is so cozy and cute 😍

Your home looks very cozy and cute, I love that it has a mysterious vibe 🧛

This is the content I am here for!! 🙏 You are insanely talented, I love seeing what you can create in unique spaces! Amazing job!

I’m obsessed with this space ughhhh!!!

You're so good at interior design, every single apartment has been nothing but incredible! Love from Portugal

I cannot believe the talent you have for taking ANY space and making it so beautiful, cozy and EXPENSIVE looking!! Queeeeen 🥰 glad you’re back!

I’ve been loving your “phone calls” but seeing a video from you was so great!! The thought and creativity behind your basement apartment is seriously amazing. Definitely looking forward to your next what I eat in a day video :)
