I’m a Brazilian guy moving to a studio apartment in LA on my own soon and I was pleasantly surprised by the music from my country in this video, which made me love it even more 🥲💖 🇧🇷
a little tip from another small kitchen owner: you could totally get a cover/cutting board thingy to put over your burners to maximize counter space! It`s really helped me enjoy cooking more
Headboards are stupid but bed frames are really really helpful if only for more storage space!! I totally understand if you're planning on moving out really soon and buying a queen-sized bed, but even a cheap bedframe that allows you to keep boxes under your bed and reduce clutter can make you love your space way more.
Love the Architectural Digest house tour style. Well done. If our neighbors don't think we are crazy, we aren't living right. Can't wait to see what you find for your new place. It's bound to be in great taste.
You did such a great job making the most of your space!! This apt is so cute, but I'm excited for your next apartment journey! Crossing my fingers for you that you can find one with more natural light!
I love that you have chosen such a bright color palette. I think white is one of the colors that can create an atmosphere of unparalleled peace, and it works great with most aesthetic styles. I love the attention you have paid to the details, the decorations, and the cozy feeling that each corner conveys, especially the living room area. I have a Togo sofa from Manhattan Home Design in an almost exact color and fabric boucle upholstery, and sometimes I feel like that alone makes my living room an amazing area. Thanks for the tour! It's a very nice place!
Thanks for the tour Julia! The apartment might be small but your creativity and design instinct have made it a fantastic home. Your use of space, and particularly the way you produce lovely meals and entertain your friends shows that you don't need a large space to display your style! Can't wait to see the new place in due course.
I think the studio is good enough. Well, I won't argue about your palace as long as you're comfort stay there. And yeah, I agree, the kitchen is small, especially with those big cabinets.
Headboards are over rated! A bed frame tip: we bought a folding futon base that is the exact size of the bed, so it’s invisible, but allows air circulation. Love this video, and oh my that kitchen is tiny, well done for getting so much use out of it ❤️
I love so much your simplistic style, it makes me realize that we don't need so much stuff to have a really good, aesthetic and useful space. I am loving to watch your videos, they make me calm down and enjoy NYC even living in another country. Thank u sm for sharing this content with us, I really enjoy it
first time I have seen one of your videos and I did notice the lack of bed frame (you helped by mentioning it). Having a bed frame offers you plenty of additional storage options for below the bed. I used to live in flushing and I understand the plight of small space living. Under-bed storage is a huge plus and is something you may want to seriously consider.
I very much enjoyed your apartment tour! You have a wonderful aesthetic and are innovative with maximizing limited space. I especially appreciate the open-shelf piece that creates a light-infused divide between your bedroom and living room. I’m a 68-year-old single woman who still struggles with organization/storage issues (even though I inhabit a 1,400 sf house), so I’m hopeful I can learn something from your upcoming videos. Subscribed!
It's so airy even though it's small. Been following since apartment hunt video, kinda excited if you would be doing another one since you're not renewing the lease☺
I’m pretty sure the first video of yours I watched was your apartment hunting video. It’s been great seeing you furnish the space and make it your own. I am so excited to see your new space and I hope you’re taking us along for the search again!
Love your place. If I may, here are a few tips to give you a little more room. Move the desk to the right by the window. That space is wasted. Move the couch and coffee table to in front of the bed, so they're not so close together. If you didn't have the floating shelves, you could move that bookshelf separating the bed/couch to where the desk was. The couch and coffee table would now face the bookshelf giving you more room; also, you could put the stools upside down on that rolling cart when not in use so you'd have more space to get into the kitchen area. I'm assuming you eat there, as there isn't a dining table. I have a studio as well, but it's much bigger than this one
the editing and setup of this video was so good julia! love seeing you try new things and share your life with us! loved this apartment for you, but excited to see where you'll go next. i love watching your videos to visualize what my life will look like one day when i get my dream job and make the move to nyc. until then, i will live vicariously through your content
Very cool to see how you were able to maximize your space and make it feel super cozy! I am obsessing over trying to maximize a small space I share with my boyfriend and our dog so your video has definitely given me some ideas. I wanted to share a simple "hack" that really made a difference in our bathroom. I bought a wooden basket (found one for $5 at Five Below compared to places that sell them for over $20!!) that can fit perfectly over the top of our toilet and its been great! It keeps everything from hair accessories to hair/beauty products and it helps our space look less busy and it adds in some natural tones to our bathroom, definitely recommend :)
Also for cable management, I recently bought off Amazon a 4 outlet and 4 usb power strip that has an adjustable clamp you can use on the edge of the table or the legs!!! It is amazing so I can easily tuck everything behind my computer screens!
I love the look of beds without frames but they can be very hard to manage since a lot of dust gather and the amount of insects getting on your bed easier is just so much
Can’t wait to watch this Julia 💜 have been following your data science journey & then your NYC vlogs ~ your apartment is so aesthetic ✨ and haha I definitely have to work on cable management, but hey whatever works :’)
Oooh Idea for more counter space !! my mum made a cutting board that fit perfectly in the sinks of our rv! For a very tiny bit still extra counter top/cutting boards style ! Because it’s a small area you can use whatever materials you liked, like cork for instance.
You did a great job for the space you are working with! I’m definitely feeling the style you went with. Less is more especially when dealing with small spaces. Light, neutral colors are also a wise choice because if brings in more light into the space and giving the impression that the room is bigger then the actual size. The space has a very happy, calm, zen vibe that is exactly what you want to come home to with all the chaos that goes on in the city! The plants are also another plus that really bring in some life into the space!😁👍
This is the biggest nicest apt in this area of town for the rent. I think the kitchen being so small is great as there is more space for the rest of the apt. Your furniture is perfect & I love the couch. My only observation is that it's cluttered. Not going over anything specific, but baskets would help. But since you're moving, it doesn't matter.
Need shelves in the bathroom over the toilet. You can get a cutting board to fit over the top of the sink. ( provides extra work space). Bed frame would provide under storage space. Good Luck finding a new place.
I use a platform metal bed frame for my full/queen size bed. It has 14" storage space underneath. The platform frame supports the mattress without a box spring. I don't have a headboard either. I can use removable wall decor or accent wallpaper instead to save space
Headboards aren't necessary, but I suggest getting a captain's bed. They can appear sleek, and they provide you will lots of storage. That's what I'll be getting.
Pretty amazing, 22k views in 2 days, talk about an influencer!😊. You've definitely done as much as you could with the small simple space, the light colors make it seem bigger, less chopped up. But I can see why you want to move on to something more accommodating and with mire outward orientation. It'll be exciting to see, obviously you'll something really tasteful and functional/ max it out. But it's YOU who brings it to life. I think you be take a major step firearm with a bigger place in various ways, definitely you've outgrown it. Good thing you make good money 🙂. Best of luck again in your search!
Like your use of plants. Like your furniture choices too. Use more boxes and baskets for storage! Yeah what’s the point of a heavy bed frame and head board when you move often. I slept on my futon for years! I think I did more stretching in the a.m. because the floor was so close.
Have been following your vlogs for a while now, I don't think I've ever checked RU-vid to see if someone I've subscribed to has posted before this! Absolutely love your vlogs, it inspires me to be a bit more meaningful and aesthetic in life as well! All the best on your new journey into your new apartment, can't wait to see it!
Lol. I liked your entry and exit antics. And yes, your neighbours probably think you're crazy to close the door with your camera left in the corridor. Thanks for the great video.
Hi Julia! Loved this video and your place, really beautiful and has its own aesthetic. Have you ever considered having wooden pallets instead of a regular bed frame? It might get along with the style your apartment is going with. Lots of love ❤️🤲🏻
That’s exactly what I wanted!! Wooden pallets!!! It was actually kinda hard to find and expensive tbh 😭 maybe I was looking at the wrong places so if you have any recs, please lmk!
It may be tiny but it looks new & fresh, and to me that can kind of trump space. Plus your rent is not bad at all. Here in downtown Seattle a tiny studio in a newer bldg is about $2200
Next time maybe consider Murphy bed/ sofa two in one combo. Not only it will save space but you can design it around some storage. There are plenty of options on the internet.
I don't know, if you write your appointment off as a business expense. Long as you been there more then six months, it be great to do that. At your new place you be able to write that one off the following year. I took a tax course a few years back. Great tour. It is too small for that price. You do need more room. I can't wait to see your new place. Be safe and thank you for your time on making the video.
AMEI esse tour por seu apartamento, obrigada por compartilhar! Seu apartamento é minimalista e me deu uma sensação muito boa. Inclusive, também não tenho a base da cama, então eu e meu esposo dormimos muito bem com o colchão no chão hahah e é super agradável, não sei porque as pessoas julgariam isso, que besteira! Sou nova por aqui, encontrei seu canal agora a pouco então ainda estou dando uma olhada nos vídeos porém, tenho algumas curiosidades como, por exemplo: você gosta de morar sozinha? =)
Hey Julia, I can‘t wait to see your new apartment. I‘ve found your channel few days ago and I really love it. Feels like a safe space 🥹 greets from germany, bavaria
I’m glad you’re making the most of this and making it work for you. But just knowing that you could get at 2400sq foot home and pay half of this on a mortgage in TX blows my mind !!!!!
Congratulations, very good 👍 video, I like when the videos provide the location and prices information. (most videos don't mention) Thanks for all the info of the appliances and decorations.
Hi Julia! It’s really ironic that you post this video now because today (August 12) I’m moving out for the first time in my own apartment! I’ll be living by myself as well. Your place looks clean, quaint, and homey. As always, loved the video. 💕
I'm visiting Manhatten with a buddy of mine who has an apartment there! I am very strongly leaning towards moving to NYC after college to be closer to my two best friends but that all depends on how I like the city when i visit this winter :) much love from San Antonio Texas!!!
