NYC Studio Apartment Tour + Decor Ideas | Upper East Side - 320 Square Ft 

Carrie Carrollo Love your NYC apartment. You did a good job for the amount of space you have and love how unique and colorful it is. I live in NYC too but in queens and I have more space but tiny for you doesn't mean less and you have shown that. A couple of suggestions, don't give away the acrylic chair. It could be used as a plant stand with a piece of colorful fabric underneath the plant. The tray you don't like, you can diy it with some spray paint and use stencils to create art and hang it on the wall. Love your kitchenette(that is what it is really) because I have one too that small. You should use that retro hamper, it is so cool and I love the tankless toilet. I've never seen that before. Glad you are a girl who likes record players and vinyl records. I kept all my vinyl records from my teen and younger adult years and I love having a record player. Nothing wrong with digital downloads but is nothing like having vinyl just like nothing is like having the feel of a real book in your hands. You mentioned my old neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn and I love it out there. Good luck here in NYC and I wish you well.

guess studio is beautiful and nicely decorated however your shoe closet is really a seasoning closet and pantry for your food just an FYI

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing!! What size is your rug??

Did you get rid of the acrylic /gold chair yet? I'd love to buy it!

They could've at least gave you a standard toilet instead of a public style toilet for the money you're spending.

wow, thank you so much! i can definitely appreciate that super clean look, but it's just not for me 😉

And Gray

@@CarrieCarrollo you have by far the cutest, most well organized and decorated space I have seen so far. Great job my dear, loved watching your video and you are quite beautiful as well. Much success in all you do.

My exact thoughts!! It’s so beautiful!

thank you so, so much!

i was waiting to see what you meant & when she opened the drawer, i cackled 😂😂 i wish i was this organized

We love a nice lie 🤭

IKR Im ashamed if that’s what she calls a mess wait til she sees mine lol

painted daisy I’d get it bigger. It’s so pretty

I want one too!

The only reason I clicked on the video! The RUG! 😍😍😍😍

painted daisy This was literally me! I was fixated on the rug watching the whole video

M. Sandra Dhee where’d you get that? I love this

thank you so much!! very thankful to have found this apt

Samantha Toledo such a nice comment!:)❤️ you seem like you have a positive, chill vibe too! Sending positive vibes form South Florida:)💕

Beautiful apartment. One recommendation is to put your shoes in other place.

keeping the layout open is key 😊thank you!

haha you're exactly right!! and thank you soo much 💖

Dylan Hemmings it was monicas grandmothers rent controlled apartment😬

Cindy A it was a joke 😬

Dylan Hemmings oh. Duh. Lol

Cindy A lol you’re good 👌🏾

hellooo real fans know that they only afforded it bc it was under Monica's grandmother's name and rent control kept the price manageable for them

I agree. It gets so old. It’s so pretentious after awhile. This looks so comfortable like a home.

i appreciate that a lot, thank you! the clean minimalist look is nice, but just not my style.

Or maybe under the bed? That really stood out as everything was so neat.

such a huge compliment, thank you!

Too many storage hacks to fit what you owned in larger space doesn't work,,, take it from one who desperately tried... Minimizing is hard at first,,,, but after just 2 or 3 months you're totally over the emotional hurdle and realizing you thrive more and more every day with a simpler life. After about 1 year you declutter once again,,, this time "for real" just because you want to This is when you look back and find it almost impossible to imagine you lived with all that stuff 😊

Oh, believe me Lynn you'll be so much happier! I sold off a 3,700 sq ft. home, had a huge auction of all the furniture (broke me heart but it was worth it). Now I live in 700 sq ft. aptmnt and I've never felt so FREE in all me days! LOL

You'll feel so much better when you're done. It's hard. I'm not gonna lie, but not having all that to clean and deal with us freeing

Lynn Moser I just came across this video and your comment! How is your new space working for you?:)💕

thank you so much for this! you too girl, happy 2019 ✨

ah this is such a great tip, appreciate it!!

so cool! thank you!

thanks so much!

thank you so much, i love rugs as wall decor too!

I would hang a rug on the wall!! I’ve just never thought of it! Lol

wow, that's a huge compliment - thank you SO much! pretty sure my next video is going to be about renting/finding apartments in nyc 🤗

thank you so much 💖

Good eye

purberri LoL 😂 exactly we used to used bars of soap back in the “olden days” (70’s , 80’s and prior years) to wash up (baths & showers). Believe it or not we didn’t have shower gel or shower soap! I was surprised she didn’t know what function the soap dishes was for. Lol 😂 Even the hamper, that’s used to put ur dirty laundry until you are ready to go to the laundromat. I would sanitize it and put a plastic /vinyl hamper bag is there to store dirty laundry. Guess I’m showing my age 🤷🏾‍♀️

@@christian_person5058 I was thinking the same thing

girl i am fully shook haha, thank you!

thankful for it every day :)

Thank you! Crazy in a...bad way? haha

Carrie Carrollo not at all❤️ I’m amazed a small space could tell such a Big story!!

this comment made me smile, thank you sooooo much!

that was the goal! thank you ✨

omg! thank you so much, means a lot 💖

Ha my grandmother lived in Manhattan and had that hamper as well... memories

thank you so much! i'm definitely planning on it!

thank you soo much!

thanks so much, celia! 💖

so glad to hear that!!

thank you, that really means a lot to me! more videos are on their way 🤗

I so agree with you!

same!! i want my apartment exactly like this😭

thank you!! ✨

thank you so much!! more videos are definitely in the works and coming soon 🤗

Hi, I see you posted a while ago, but the faux plants are from Target. The one near the sofa is in their outdoor furniture section😊

i think i'm going to - thank you!

You could even put a garbage bag in it and use it as a garbage? Repurpose it??

Use the hamper! It is one of my favorite things in my studio apartment. When it’s full, it’s my cue that it’s time to do the laundry. Retro can also mean brilliant!

I'm so jealous of that hamper! It broke my heart to hear that you don't use it!!!

thank you so much! ☺️
