Hey guys! Thank you for clicking on this video & watching! I was aware of the no windows in the bedroom when I signed. Please no more comments about the windows. I also LOVE the exposed ceiling & flooring, I think it’s a vibe that I really enjoy. Everything is coming together nicely, check out my IG for sneak peeks! (Also: remember I had an apartment fiasco so this was one of the only options still available for this school year due to what happened!)
i feel bad for you because the window comments are so annoying. however i scrolled to find this comment and i think you should pin it! thanks for the tour lauren!!
Seems kinda crazy to me there are no windows in your bedrooms!! In college, my side of the room had no window and I felt so isolated .. hopefully, they told you this before signing your lease!!!!!
I'm concerned your bedroom does not have windows! I have lived in places like that before and it feels so dark and also unsafe if there is a fire! But otherwise I am OBSESSED! So so excited for you!
Like others have said, I’m pretty sure this apartment may not be to code as a 2 bedroom. You need to have a window for a room to be declared a bedroom. I would check with your landlord/tenant act of your area and see if it’s up to code. You shouldn’t be paying full price for something that is not legally correct. Technically, this would be classified as a bachelor since those rooms cannot classify as a bedroom. But I LOVE IT!! I cannot wait to see you decorate it!
From my understanding, since the building is older & was built before that law, it was grandfathered in where it’s not illegal! I’m not staying here forever & I’m living in a college town. As I have expressed through many comments, this was not my first choice but I needed housing for this year ASAP. Thank you for your comment though, I’m excited to show you it decorated. It looks like a different apartment already!
I’m not going to be redundant about what everyone else is saying but coming from a firefighters daughter please make sure your landlord puts the fire extinguisher back under the kitchen sink. It has the bracket already installed but no extinguisher. I just want to make sure you have all your bases covered JIC! I super love the industrial vibes and I can’t wait to see it all styled by you!! Congratulations on the new place sweet girl you deserve this!!
Love it. Kinda surprised bedrooms have no windows.hmmm that might be why they didn’t put closet doors up b/c they can’t legally call it a Bedroom. I guess it’s like studio with extra space?? But it will be fine!!!!! Love the industrial feel
Yeah not my vibe, especially with the little amount of windows. But hey, if that’s your vibe, you go girl! Definitely feel lucky the apartments in the Netherlands look VERY different from most apartments I’ve seen in the USA.
This is going to sound crazy but consider putting your tv area in one of the rooms. You won’t care as much about not having natural light while watching tv at night, but not having light while studying/working is more noticeable. Just a thought :)
Your apt is adorable.I love the industrial feel of it.Don’t worry about windowless rooms.I’ve lived in plenty of apts without a window in the bedroom…you’ll decorate it to suit you.can’t wait to see your decorating style.
I had an apartment with the exposed concrete floor and it was honestly wonderful to clean - easy to sweep, really easy to mop which is what I loved cuz it sucks to mop 😆
Hey Lauren this is totally from experience if you have room in that cleaning closet the you should put a smaller dirty laundry basket for any towels mainly because I have had things sour in my basket with towels and clothes and the smell has never come out
I had concrete floors once and loved it. It dries quickly when you mop it and it keeps the whole place cooler. My fav thing to do on a hot day after working out was laying on the floor and letting the coolness seep into my tired muscles.
I can't wait to see how it looks with furniture. While I haven't shopped for apartments in a while, I have noticed creative pictures in house shopping to make spaces look so much larger than they really are. I am pretty good now about noticing the wide angles or whatever they do to make things look larger. Just a warning for the days you start house shopping online!
I am most excited to see the bedroom done and decorated! Lauren does such an amazing and cute job! I bet the whole apartment will turn out soo cute!! Love your channel!❤❤❤
I’d put a table directly next to the kitchen and the couch in the middle of the space facing the wall opposite the one near your kitchen and the tv on that wall that your couch is facing! Like if you walked into the space from that hallway you’d be walking into your living room and turn left around the corner and you’d have kitchen on the left and table on the right
You are so lucky to have an in unit washer and dryer. My dad has been taking me to the laundromat. We do have washers and dryers downstairs, but I swear people steal stuff. During the situation, my dad would do my laundry at his place. Too worried about the community washers and dryers.
I just thought of the best idea. You could get a projector and do the tik tok trend where you find RU-vid videos that look like your looking out a window!! That would be awesome 🤟🏻💗
I love the apartment!! I would much rather have concrete floors! All carpet sucks to clean especially with a pet. Congratulations on the apartment! You will make is BEAUTIFUL. 🥰
I would use that little utility closet to hang up coats and stuff. What made you decide to move into an apartment besides living in the sorority house? Marissa Nicole was a 2nd year senior so she had to move into an apartment. I'm MOST looking forward to seeing the kitchen completed. Everybody should just be thankful for a place to live. :)
Omg the stress of having to film the empty apartment tour before everything gets there that day 😂 haha this was me a couple of months ago! Your place looks amazing girl can’t wait to see it all decorated! 💕
Hey Lauren. Something you want to get is a fire pet sticker. Put on your door and window to indicate how many pets you have. You get them at pet stores with the animal image that you have. I love mine!
You talked about the living room and where you wanted to place the couch but were you also going to fit a dining table in the space? Not sure if I missed it
Crazy idea.... what if the windowless "office" was instead the "movie theater" where you can put cute/crazy/bougie lights with a bar cart/home relaxing stuff? Then you make the "living room" space your "office"/workspace? That way you have more office space that you could invite some peeps over to study with you. You could have a bench-type table that would serve as the "co-worker"/eating and dining table in addition to a desk that faces the view? You could put up a cute wall partition if you wanted to separate out your PERSONAL deskspace from the rest of the room. Why waste the good lighting on a space you probably won't be in until nighttime, when the day's work is over?
Y’all enough with the window situation, her apartment is so cute. So what if it doesn’t have windows… I absolutely love it congrats Lauren! Thanks for sharing🤍
THANK YOU!!! I’m about done with these window comments LOL. It’s my first ever apartment, it’s not going to be perfect but I think for the stage of life I’m in, it’s perfect for me!💖
@@TheLaurenNorris yes absolutely, I’m moving into my first townhome (apartment whatever you want to call it lol) in August. It’s not perfect but it’s perfect for me, so it’s totally normal to not have everything in your first apartment. So excited for you …🤍
I felt so bad for Lauren and I was like saying ‘Faucet….faucet…you know…faucet’ as if she could hear me on a video :D It happens--the excitement of moving and likely some sleepless nights! But so exciting to see this!
