NEW Apartment Tour! How we made space for baby in a small 1 bedroom 

Just need to take a moment to appreciate how extra beautiful and radiant Erin is looking today 😍🎉🙌

Aww, Remy is too adorable! And I love how you set up your apartment. I definitely think you’ve utilized all your space without it feeling cluttered. Great inspiration for those of us with smaller homes. And I agree about the light. Your old apartment was so cute, but this one seems airier and I think it’s the windows for sure. So glad you’re back on RU-vid.

BABY CLOTHES!: I know it might sound silly due to the recent hype, however, Marie Kondo really does have it down pat. I watched her videos and re-did all of my drawers! It has saved me sooo much space and has been surprisingly easy to maintain. The folding in thirds and stacking vertically is key. Hope this helps!

The family I currently nanny for is a big believer in grouping outfits together and then rolling them up and putting them in the drawer. That way you pull out a onesie and pants that go together and it's all good.

One day you will look back at this tiny place and think “wow, we’ve come a long way since then”. Keep working hard and you’ll have everything you dreamed of.

Remy is so cute! I love how you’ve made the space work. A tip for baby clothes (especially as he gets out of the one piece outfits) is to fold the outfit together. I would fold the pants in half (or thirds) and then wrap the shirt around it (folding it in half over the pants). This allowed me to quickly grab an entire outfit without digging around!

You have been so efficient with your space. I love the attachment to your grandparents through furniture. Thank you for the tour❤

Use the space under the crib for storage!!! It’s a great area for all the stuff you don’t need often!

Ogh gurl get out of Cali, just imagine how much square footage you could get in Texas or Georgia for the same money.

I think that family heirloom pieces are important and if they spark joy they belong in your space.

I always donated one baby item for every new one we got for our kids. preferably close to the same size. sometimes I'd do several smaller items for one bigger one. My Daddy was in the Army and taught me years ago to roll any drawer clothing to make the most space of room. I've done it all my life,, taught my three kids, and now they are teaching their kids! Also, I'm a GA girl too. Born & raised in Columbus. Moved closer to family near Athens as a teen. Now I live outside of Savannah cause hubby's job brought us here 18 years ago!

For baby clothes I roll everything and stand them up in drawer organizers separated by clothing type. It helps so you can see every item of clothing without having to dig through it 😊

I don’t know if you ever check your RU-vid notifications anymore, but I have watched you since literally your first video. Here recently your videos have been popping up a lot more on my recommended videos. I used to love watching your cooking videos. I hope you and your family are doing well!

I love how sentimental you are. I treasure my grandmothers things.

LA is so expensive. Im sure you'll be able to have a 2 bedroom soon, we upgraded when we felt it was time for my baby to sleep in her room. That time came when she was 4.

Over the door shoe holders! The pocket kind. You can do one on each side of the door. Great for diapers, lotions, towels.... I have two hanging on my small pantry door. The outside one has things like Febreeze and dailynuse cleaning things. The inside one is were I keep my stockpile of cleaning supplies. When both my kids were in high school, i kept lunch things in the outside one. A snack, chips, and breakfast bar in each pocket. That way they could just grab one pocket full of stuff, put it in their lunchbox, and go.

A good idea for your kitchen would be to get the wire racks that add extra stacking space for plates, bowls and mugs...you could use it to stack canned food as well... maybe that would open some cabinet space to get some things off the counters?

Firstly you are an adorable human. Just listening to you out me in a better mood. Thank you for taking the time to do this video. My husband and I want to start a family. We were trying to find a house before Covid said no. Starting a family living in a one bedroom scared me. This definitely helped.

Good to see you and Remy

Love the simplicity of your apartment! So homey! 💜💜💜💜💜

YES, I LOVE kitchen sink windows! :)

So happy for you.

Remy is adorable..congratulations

Looks great & very clean

What a lovely, warm home you’ve created!

So glad to have you back!! Remy is just adorable... thanks for sharing your cooking and your home and your family!!

I love that you’re utilizing the sewing table as a coffee bar! So cool! Thanks for sharing.

In my opinion, the best way to fold baby clothes is to not fold them lol. My son is 2 and we just started folding his. I just didn't feel like it was worth my time to fold such tiny clothes. Loving your new videos!

I love having a window over the kitchen sink! You did a great job using the space you have.

Cute apartment! I love natural light too! That's why we choose the home we did, with all of it's natural light. Yes!! I love watching cleaning & organizing videos & would enjoy if you did some too.

So happy you’re back on RU-vid! Yes, I would love to see you start doing cleaning/organizing videos... I love those, too! I think you did a wonderful job with your space, and it looks so cozy and lovely. 💕

Beautiful apartment Erin. You made it look so welcoming. Awesome job.

I CAN'T tell you how glad I am you guys are back! So missed you. I follow you on IG and knew you were doing well. I've been enjoying your new life and new videos. Thanks so much for sharing your world!

I love all your sentimental keepsakes. The coffee bar is so adorable. Congratulations on your new journey of mommy hood. You have such a sweet family-including the fur babies.

🌼🌸You have such a talent for decorating! You've really made a homey, adorable space for all of you. Wishing you Adam and Remy a lovely week🌸🌼

💙💓💙 Great use of your space guys!!! 💙💓💙

Also, vacuum sealed bags for old cloths, blankets, pillows, etc are AMAZING.

I like how you put everything together! And that kitchen is great!

Really cute apartment! Thanks for sharing how well you organize and keep things so nice and tidy.

You got my view a year/ a month later. When we needed to make room for my 1st baby, we cleared out an entire 2nd bedroom. I can’t imagine sharing a one bedroom with a new baby. I THINK you guys are a two income household, and I THINK you did the move to normal home so im so happy you both got it together 🙏❤️

Omg Erin you have made that apartment so cozy! I think you have done a good job not making the place look cluttered.

Anything you vlog I’ll watch . I’m just happy your back . Love your family .😇✌🏾❤️⭐️🙏🏽😎

Remy is so adorable! You have organized your space so well. I don't have the knack for that at all. I love his little area in your bedroom and how it looks like it's his own little bedroom. I would love to see cleaning videos, organizing videos, and always cooking videos. I have made your last 2 meals you posted.

Thank you for posting such a real home tour. Your apartment is adorable and so homey!

I love your home! Thank you so much for sharing!!

I LOVE the cleaning and organizing channels/videos! I can’t wait for you to do them!

I love it Erin you’ve done a wonderful job! Super cute!

Its so nice and light like you said. What a lovely little love nest for you guys until you need bigger.

Tips for folding*** Onesies and sleepers fold in half in the belly area. *not shoulder to shoulder* and then stack on top of each other. Then pants fold hip to hip then in half.. I learned that 6 months after my son was born. It helps. It doesn't make the cloths so bulky and fall over.

I’m soooo glad you’re back! 🤗Love your cute apt! 💕

You’re amazing and I love all of your videos!! I’ve been binge watching all of them!! ❤️❤️❤️ love you guys and the baby Remy is so cute!!

Awesome! Been waiting for this one!

Yes to the cleaning and organization videos... I’d love to see them! ❤️

I love ur home. It looks so inviting and cosy. Xxx

I love the color of UR counter tops an cabnets so pretty.

Darling!!!!! I can’t wait to see y’all!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖

Erin- The apartment is very well organized. So amazing that you have the family 'rocker' and dining set! I think your home looks very cozy! So obvious you and Adam have filled your home with LOVE! Thanks for letting us see your sweet abode! God Bless you three! Love from here to there! Move to Washington.....it's so beautiful and the air is clean....just an idear.

my life-changing babyclothes hack: get one of those over- the-door clear pocket shoe organizers & stick all go-to onesies, socks, & pants in there. its affordable, easily accessible ( you can see what you have) & keeps the stuff neat! I'll send you a pic through insta when I can 🤗

I think you've made a cozy home and really maximized your space 🤗

Nice job on your home .Remy is a doll . ✌🏾❤️⭐️🙏🏽😇

I hope you know that every time you post a video it makes my day haha. 💜💜💜

I vote for little C-hooks for your coffee mugs! It raises them off of the bottom of the kitchen cabinets and gives you more room for dishes - life changing for us coffee lovers for sure! When we lived in a super small space with a new born, we hung a lot of stuff on the backs of doors (like the hanging organizers), and we stored extra stuff under our bed (either in the plastic bins or the organizers that could zip up). They also have the vacuum sealable cubes for your bulky items like blankets (again a HUGE space saver) that you can put winter clothes or other clothes you are otherwise storing away and it SUCKS THE EXTRA AIR OUT of the plastic and makes it literally 1/4ish the original size it took up. Amazing! You could probably free up a lot of your up high cabinets/closets in your room alone by doing that. I’m not sure if you have room under your cute couch, but we did and also used the zip up organizers under it as well. You have the right idea of going upwards in your storage as well (bathroom looks great!)😍 good luck!

I also do my baby cloths Marie Kondo style bc it lets you see everything you’ve got once you open the drawer. I can explain in more detail how I fold etc you send you a video showing you if you’d want.

Your home is so cozy, honestly I live in a 4 level house and I wish some day to live in a cozy small apartment like that

You've done an amazing job on decorating and organizing your apartment ❤ Remy is so stinkin cute

I love cleaning videos! Power hours are the best!!

I just love that you’re back!! :) really enjoying all the new videos and life changes for you!

Cute!

I love love love! Cleaning And organizing videos😍

I have the same type of sewing machine from my grandmother and I couldnt bring myself to get rid of it but I didnt know what to do with it bc it's not exactly light.... you just gave me the best flippin idea!!! Thanks! Lol

You’ve made your little apartment so cute and functional for your family...even though it is small and you will move on to a bigger place one day...i’m know you will look back on so many great memories of starting your family there...Some of my best memories are of when my husband and I got married didn’t have a ton of money. Our first little home was small but we had 3 kids while living there....the kids and i moved from there after my husband died suddenly....but 20 years later, some days, all i want is to be back in that little house again.

We have the same boppy thing! In case you do ever need to, I put ours through the wash no problem..one to many accidents and I felt like it needed a deep clean, I was worried but it worked so well!

Wow, loved this video, its like your videos have only gotten better even though you took a long break. Glad your back!

I use to just fold my babies short sleeve onesies in half. The long sleeve onesies I just folded the sleeves over each other then folded the whole thing in half. And baby skin is so delicate glad to hear your using baby detergent on Remys clothes.

Years (and several kids) ago, our family of 4 was living in a 4 room apartment. It was owned by family and free to us and 2 years was the limit on how long I could manage my sanity there, especially since I was pregnant with kiddo #3 buy the time we left. You’ve made excellent use of the space so congrats! When it came to organizing baby clothes, with a couple of mine, I tried to hang a lot of it. In our apartment, my daughter’s room didn’t have a closet so we got a bookshelf and fastened a tension rod just inside of it to have a place to hang her clothes. To keep drawers cleaner, I rolled things up. I bought lots of the same kind of plain white socks so that I could always just grab 2 socks and not have to pair them up. I put a mesh laundry bag next the hamper to put dirty ones in, washed and dried them in it, then just dumped them into the sock box! As far as general storage, we had plastic bins under every piece of furniture, I think. And every door had something hanging on the back to organize whatever I needed in that room.

Dollar tree storage containers are everything!! There are videos specifically dedicated to dollar store organization and they’ve helped me a ton with both my stuff and my babies! We are living in a motor home so I totally understand your situation😩 best of luck!💕

Your apartment looks nice. 🙂

The ergo baby carrier was the only one that didn’t hurt my neck and back. I highly recommend it

I'm with you on the cleaning videos... I love it!

My daughter’s changing table was handed down to us and it has a built in dresser underneath, which has been so useful and helpful. I bought some interlocking drawer dividers from Ikea (I’ve seen them sold other places). They are great in organizing her clothes by size and they also are good dividers for socks and other accessories. I also roll up her sleepers and they are easy to stack on top of each other with the dividers. You can also adjust the dividers as needed. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the inspiration! We're about to have baby #3 in 800sf, glad to know other people can make it work!

Such a beautiful place! My daughter rolls all my granddaughters thing! She puts shirts with the pants and rolls it then instead of just put them on top of each other she stand the rolls up meaning she puts all them horizontal so you can see them without messing them up! And it’s great on saving space! Your such a great mommy!!!

I love watching the cleaning videos as well! 🤣 so addicting.

This was a cute set up before the kid became mobile but within a couple months after this video I'm sure he tore through the apartment like a tornado or the Tasmanian devil? LOL this video brings me joy because it's very familiar and although I look back at the time my son was little very fondly I wouldn't want those paint back for anything! God bless this adorable little young family🙏🇺🇸✌

Go for ergo i love it best cushion pads ever

I use drawer dividers for little baby clothes. I tired the Marie Condo thing for baby clothes, but I just couldn't get it to work until they're bigger. The dividers I use are like an X lattice type situation (I think it's for undies) and then I roll the clothes and put them in so you can see every piece of clothing at a glance. Good luck! I'm loving the new content (and the revival of Erin Eats!)!!!

You’re doing an amazing job! First time mommy’s never get a manual on all the things that need to be changed. So proud of you 😊 cleaning video pleaaaaassseeeeee

I’d love a cleaning/organisation video !

OH how funny my nephews got some of the same pics above his crib lol. Awww those baby bed sheets r2 cute.

I would love to see a cleaning video from you! So happy you’re back on RU-vid!!

I am so excited that you're vlogging again! Congrats on the baby! My little man was born September 2019!

Marie Kondo baby clothes! It saves so much space especially how she folds footie pjs 🙌🏻

You’ve done a great job organizing with the space you have!! The only thing I’d suggest is getting a crib skirt for Remy’s crib and storing somethings under there! We did the same with my daughter’s crib, and the skirt conceals every thing and no once can tell we have anything under there.

I know it was difficult to figure out space and making it look noncluttered ...but i actually love the minimalism and simplicity of your apartment !!! I think you utilized the space very well!

Aww!! What a flashback for me!! We slept on a double bed, too, when I was pregnant with our first baby!! I still can't believe we survived that time in our life! 😂 PTL, a friend of ours gifted us a queen bed they no longer needed in a guest room before I was pregnant with baby #2!!

I'm so glad i found your channel! Your family is absolutely adorable! Plz make vid showing the chicken casserole.. I've tried this several ways & just don't remind me off childhood.. Want to see if maybe yours is better than other ones I've tried.. I live in Tennessee & we know how to cook in the South so i bet your food is delicious! Thanks sweetie ❤

I love that you still say "its me Erin Elyse!" lol Its so cute!

What a great kitchen for a one bedroom apartment! Your place is so nice and organized. I don't like clutter either but the way you have things organized makes everything appear neat. Ive had to downsize drastically so found that putting in extra shelves in kitchen cabinets (can buy extra at Home Depot for pretty cheap if your cabinets shelves are removable and adjustable...and you can take them with you to next place) and organize things by height to utilize every inch of vertical space can give a bit more storage if you want more stuff off counters. Would love to see videos how you keep place clean!

for baby clothes storage, you could use some kitchen drawers dividers. the ones you use to separate forks from spoons and stuff. any kind of separator really works, specially since baby clothes are so small.

Loving the vintage furnitures. Looking forward to your cleaning videos. 😁
