Welcome to NYC! I would suggest, for safety reasons, you get a fire department approved gate on the fire escape window. People have been robbed and assaulted by folks entering through those windows.
You have a fire escape, there have been cases where people have been assaulted and robbed by people climbing up through the fire escape and in through the window. It's happened in my building. You do need a safety gate, just to be safe, better safe than sorry.
1. gate for the fire escape window! 2. possibly a curtain for the closet so it looks more put together :) 3. curtains for your windows because people are pervs lol
I was going to suggest that too. Only “issue” I could see is she’s right, when she has to turn on that heater; that is going to get hot and her landlord (or building person) May have warned them to keep stuff away from it when winter comes.
NICE!!! I hope that y’all cleaned/disinfected the apartment before getting settled in. Also, keep in mind that the train station entry shot gives away what neighborhood y’all live in.
I like how realistic and practical this video was. Please do a moving/rent series relating to budgeting, landlords, rental contracts, what to bring, what to pack etc.
Even just a white floating shelf under your circular mirror for your mini vanity would have been perfect and minimalistic but I hope the bar cart works! :)
Girl you should get the ziploc space bags for items like sweaters and scarves that you won’t be wearing for a few months! Life savers, they just vacuum down and you can slide them under your bed
Just a tip, if you put the round mirror on the wall where the dresser is you would get even more natural light! Because it would directly reflect the light coming from the windows xx
move your dresser to between the windows, and your nightstand on the left side of your bed... then you'd have the whole wall beside your closet for a vanity/makeup spot
I know! Someone should tell her, those outside stairs are in case of fire. They will be able to escape a fire, very important. I grew up in NYC's Chelsea that's a common elements found in older apartment buildings. She sounds very naive, NYC can be very dangerous but when you are in new city everything is exciting. Best of luck to her, wishing her wealth (because NYC is very expensive to live in), health and happiness.
Put the mirror at a hight you can use to put on your makeup while sitting on the white furry bench. Then get a shelf and hang under the mirror to store your makeup on. Home made vanity
Switch the standing mirror with the dresser so you have the window light reflecting off the mirror. It creates a brighter and more “open” environment! :)
Your apartment looks great congrats!! You could get a vanity/desk floating shelf from Ikea. It has drawers too which is a big bonus. Hang it beneath your round mirror and add a stool which you can push underneath when you're not using it ❤
You’re literally my role model and I aspire to be you when I grow up , love the apartment and hope to move from South Africa to nyc one day . Can’t wait to see the fully furnished apartment and can’t wait for all the daily vlogs in NYC ,so happy for you girl and I hope you enjoy it and make the most out of it 💕
Aww it turned out sooo cutee. I'd definitely recommend adding string lights because it adds an extra homey feel. I love fairy lights so much :) you could even add them around your full length mirror
Hi Natalie, congratulations for moving into your dream city! I also live in NY and became very creative at building storage and not making my space feels cluttered. Use two wall shelving units for your makeup. All the best to you for this new chapter:)
I think you could put the cleaning supplies in the kitchen since you have a lot of storage space there so you can have a little bit more space in the bathroom! The apartment is really cute and actually a decent size 😍
I am moving to NYC in couple months. So I have been watching all the RUclips videos I can find about people moving there and their experience. The rent is ridiculously high and I have no friends there. So........I'm really stressed but everyone looks so happy to be there
You should get a cover for your heater and consider moving the skinny dresser to the wall by the heater if it fits to get more space. In addition, for safety reasons you should make sure you window is secure since your by the fire escape, but should get an extra lock for your front door to be more secure. You should also get like a curtain to cover your closet and probably a shoe rack to organize more your shoes. For your makeup, probably a small vanity can work.
Put the dresser between the windows it will look nice under the mirror also get a pretty curtain to cover the closet ❤️❤️❤️❤️ a long plant will look so nice on the shelf above the closet
you guys can share the entrance storage and put all your shoes there, if not all shoes keep the heels and few boots up on the shelf above the one you kept your skirts at and put the go-to shoes and boots in the shelves of the storage at the entrance
That issue with the exposed radiator and make up are...we had a similar problem...we simply went to a plce like Home Depot and bought ceramic tiles which we were able to put together as a "top" which could be used for storage or any use. If you want to spend a bit more, get a marble top custom cu- just a slab cut to lay over the top of the radiator...it allows for the heat to escape into the room and the top to be useful counter space and make up "bench".
When you’re going to hang the mirror just use or get a set of drawers from ikea, and use that as you vanity area. You can store your makeup/facial stuff in them.
You can move your bed in front of the window, it will make your room look so big then you can buy these tables from Ikea the small ones for your makeup 👍🏻
MAKE UP SPOT IDEA: buy a shelf from target or any store that u like and mount it underneath the circled mirror and put us it as ur makeup vanity. Some shelves come with two drawers, which i think u can find in ikea and this will be great for some extra storage for ur makeup. xx love u nat
i think you should put your bed under your ac on the wall with windows i think it would give you more space to move around and would open the space up more for your desire and mirror
Payton Acheson I don’t think her room has that much space. If she moves the bed it looks like it would touch the heater and when the winter comes she won’t be able to use it or have her night stand in front of it
Move the sneakers underneath your bed move the five drawer dresser by the closet against the wall next to your bed and then put a small vanity with a cube seat(with storage) where the dresser originally was... also I would take those sweaters or whatever it was that you had in the last drawer of the 5 drawer dresser and put them at the top of your closet that way you can put your underwear and bras in that drawer
Ik I’m probably late but I think you should get one of those pull out desks for your vanity and put it next to your dresser it would be a nice way of saving space but it’ll still look nice
Cut a piece of wood to fit, stain it cute, attach it to the wall with hinges so you can fold it down when you are not using it and fold it up when you are! Stool that can slide under and when your not using it will just be a little sitting stool.
Can you film a video on how to find an apartment in NYC? as well as how you are adjusting there! I have never lived there but I have also considered! I just want to weigh the pros and cons of moving to NY!
I was gonna say you should put plants on that one top shelf you want to avoid, but watering would be hard! So you should get like 5 pretty fake plants to put across the top, it would look so cute!!
Natalie! I have such a great idea for your room, first of all paint the walls to add a pop of color (with a color of your choice) then move the drawer to the other side between the windows, then add a cute small vanity with lights on the mirror where the drawer was and add a cute vanity chair or stool! then you can add shelves to the wall and hang up your shoes on the shelves, would be fantastic than having them scattered on the floor. for paintings on the wall, i like the ones you have up but maybe move the ones above your bed on top where the drawer will be then add a neon sign light (with a word/sentence of your choice) on top of your bed or add a massive artistic frame on top of your bed. you don't want the area in front of your bed to be that empty so you can add a small desk with a chair and store cute things on it. that's it for my idea, hope you liked it.
Ikea has those tables you can fold up on to the wall when not in use. So you could always do that and just get a small storage solution to store your makeup in. Like a cute little ottoman you could set below. And then when you fold it up it’s not too cramped but it’s practical ! Hope that makes sense
I would put the dresser with all the drawers on the other side between the windows. I would put the night table on the other side of the bed. The coat rack she is getting I would put where she has her night table. I would put a little caddy for her to roll towards her bed when she needs to do her makeup. I would suggest getting a safety gate for the fireplace window for safety reasons. Enjoy NY!!!
I think you should put your night stand on the left side of your bed and put your vanity on the right side (maybe scooting the bed over a teeny bit). Having your vanity next to the window will provide some amazing food natural light and you could also sit on that side for filming.
I would put that dresser on the other side of the wall between the two windows, move the night stand to the other side of the bed to provide balance within the room. Also it would leave room for a small vanity next to the closet.
if u get a clothing rack u should move your dresser in ur closet and put ur coats and jackets in ur closet and ur tanks, jeans, tops on ur clothing rack and have the vanity where the chair and dresser is!
I would suggest putting a small vanity between the two windows and moving that circular mirror down to use as your vanity mirror. To save space you can use like an ottoman as a chair and store it underneath the vanity when you are not using it. You should also get some natural lighting if you place your vanity there.
Congratulations on your move! I like your set up in the apartment so far! Have fun and stay safe in New York! Looking forward to watching your next video
put the dresser between the two wiindows, the mirror between the bed and closet and on the other wall beside the closet get a mini vanity!! and you’ll have a cute background for pics too!!!
You can use a floating shelf, a round mirror and a small puff as vanity on the side os the dresser instead of the chair. If you put the dresser between the mirror, as some poeple are saying, the circulation will be compromised.
You can get a ladder desk that leans against the wall by your dresser, some of them are small enough to fit in that space. A DIY one using the bench and a mirror would be cool too!
Where you said you were gona put the mirror get one of those skinny console table & use it as a vanity table as its facing the light so you can see to do your makeup better. So you can display your makeup and other cute things without sacrificing too much space. Or you can get that Algot 3 tier storage and it has wheels it's really good to store makeup a d and its small
So, it looks like what they did was to really divide the apartments so that you would have a much smaller living room space. In Manhattan especially in the lower east side when they began gentrification, and they started to throw out all of the Spanish and African Americans out of their homes, they reconstructed/reconfigured the apartments in the buildings and what they did was to chop everything in half so you didn't really have room, but more of a closet that they would advertise as a room. I lived in the projects, beautiful neighborhood by the East River. Our apartments were nice. Not all kitchens in Manhattan are tiny. It really depends on where you live and how the apt. is designed. The best thing to do it to use the space that covers the height of the apartment for storage. Some people design upwards so they have more space around them. Anyway, you have lovely views. The only thing I'd be scared of is the UFO I saw the last time by the hi risers, and a terrorist attack where you'd have to run down the stairs.
You could put your big dresser in the corner over by the window on a kitty corner angle move the night table on the other side of your bed, then that wall is freed up for a small vanity or a nice floating shelf.
Wow . I used to live in New York and my apartment was huge . Huge kitchen and good size bathroom along with three spacious bedrooms and two hallways. It definitely depends where in New York you move to so no, not all New York apartments are tiny . Lol . But that is what you get in most of the apartments in Manhattan close to the city I guess. In the Bronx is where I used to live and that is where you will find the older more spacious apartment buildings. I miss my old apartment so much. Enjoy NYC!! :)
Out the dresser where the shoes are shoes on the other side of the bed so u can fit the vanity put a rack infront of the bed next to the mirror for hanging u should be fine the rest is gorge or store ur coats up top on that extra storage get a stepping stool that way u don’t need the rack
You’re room is huge!!! It looks amazing! I am so so so happy for you natalie, your energy in this vid literally got me excited for me to move one day LMAO love u babe
Buy a shoe rack for the back of the door and put your shoes next to your bed in it. Put the night stand on the other side of the bed and then find a smaller vanity and put it next to your bed on the window side and put the fake plant next to your dresser. I think the clothing rack next to your bed will make it look too crowded but in the end it’s your room, you arrange it how you like. Love it though.
The tall dresser should go by the ac , the small one should go by the closet as your night stand and that are should be your vanity area with your big circle mirror..
Welcome to NYC! I would suggest, for safety reasons, you get a fire department approved gate on the fire escape window. People have been robbed and assaulted by folks entering through those windows.
J SMITH happens all the time..... I would agree...
omg yes it was on law and order SVU once so definitely get that checked natalie!!!!
She’s on a 5th fl walkup, no need.
Good god really?
You have a fire escape, there have been cases where people have been assaulted and robbed by people climbing up through the fire escape and in through the window. It's happened in my building. You do need a safety gate, just to be safe, better safe than sorry.
1. gate for the fire escape window!
2. possibly a curtain for the closet so it looks more put together :)
3. curtains for your windows because people are pervs lol
Angiielle huh?
Angiielle sis...trust me-as a girl, i know it’s not a joking matter. it was just a casual lol because i don’t know her like that. 😂
Does anyone else feel like they're fulfilling their dream of moving to a big city through watching her!?
Alex Hall 😂 not a big city fan 🤷♂️
Me! Lol 😂 totally living vicariously thru her
IT YOU’RE WEALTHY THEN YES. THEIR RENT IS EXTREMELY HIGH.
Haha yes
ME-Tube Your Space! stop screaming
Put the dresser between the two windows and a vanity next to the closet!
Erika Ramsland exactly what I was thinking!
Was thinking the same thing!!!
That's what I was going to suggest!
my thoughts exactly
I was going to suggest that too. Only “issue” I could see is she’s right, when she has to turn on that heater; that is going to get hot and her landlord (or building person) May have warned them to keep stuff away from it when winter comes.
Girl get a gate for that window PLEASE!
There’s a bunch of people who’ve ben robbed/assaulted by people entering through windows
Lauren that’s not a normal account in some cities
Chrome Book that’s normal in nyc
Alexa candice oh ok sorry
Maybe a removable thing, or like a door which can be opened in case of an emergency ... otherwise that advice is stupid & dangerous!
Who else dreams of having an apartment like this?! So excited to follow this next chapter in Natalie’s life!!
Dreams can become reality if u work towards it
Yes omg
NICE!!!
I hope that y’all cleaned/disinfected the apartment before getting settled in.
Also, keep in mind that the train station entry shot gives away what neighborhood y’all live in.
Skye525 yes, thought the exact same thing about the station
Skye525 Exactly. Also, if you’re familiar to NYC you can recognize the buildings
I like how realistic and practical this video was. Please do a moving/rent series relating to budgeting, landlords, rental contracts, what to bring, what to pack etc.
Even just a white floating shelf under your circular mirror for your mini vanity would have been perfect and minimalistic but I hope the bar cart works! :)
Jillian Banks I love this idea!!

move your dresser to between the windows, and your nightstand on the left side of your bed... then you'd have the whole wall beside your closet for a vanity/makeup spot
i agree, her room is so small you can hardly fit anything in it cause the bed itself takes up 90% of the space
You’ll want to be sure to invest in a bed bug mattress cover. They’re less than $50 on Amazon.
congrats!!! you're going to have the best time in the city!
No body:
Her: I have a fire escape which is so so cute!
I know! Someone should tell her, those outside stairs are in case of fire. They will be able to escape a fire, very important. I grew up in NYC's Chelsea that's a common elements found in older apartment buildings. She sounds very naive, NYC can be very dangerous but when you are in new city everything is exciting. Best of luck to her, wishing her wealth (because NYC is very expensive to live in), health and happiness.
Patty H. I mean, she did say she wasn’t supposed to be on it without an emergency.
they ARE cute! Leave her alone lol
Sophie Yates they just mean that it’s dangerous for her because of multiple robbing cases in NYC where they use it to access to the appartement
You should look into floating shelves/drawers to have a little makeup area and then hang a cute mirror above it.
you should hang some vine type plants on the shelf above your closet for some extra greenery and colour :)
9:20 "girls can do anything" love that!
Put the mirror at a hight you can use to put on your makeup while sitting on the white furry bench. Then get a shelf and hang under the mirror to store your makeup on. Home made vanity
Switch the standing mirror with the dresser so you have the window light reflecting off the mirror. It creates a brighter and more “open” environment! :)
Absolutely agree! The mirror trick only works when its on the opposite side of the windows.
Your apartment looks great congrats!! You could get a vanity/desk floating shelf from Ikea. It has drawers too which is a big bonus. Hang it beneath your round mirror and add a stool which you can push underneath when you're not using it ❤
You all actually found a nice apartment 😍👍🏾
you should get a door curtain and put it in front of your closet so it’s like a door to keep ur clothes separate to your room!
23:25 maybe its good to put only things which are related to dish washer stuff into the drawer
Moving vlogs are the BEST!! I'm so pumped to see how the apartment comes along and I'm so happy that you were able to find such an amazing apartment!
Put the tall dresser next to your bed. Move the sneakers into a basket. Use that open wall where the dresser was for a small desk/vanity set ip
Move the big chest of drawers to the space in between the windows and put a vanity/desk where it used to be x
You can put a deep shelf as a vanity with a small stool and a mirror. Would look very nice i think and saves space for sure
Put your dresser between the windows and a vanity can go where your dresser is now next to the closet
You’re literally my role model and I aspire to be you when I grow up , love the apartment and hope to move from South Africa to nyc one day . Can’t wait to see the fully furnished apartment and can’t wait for all the daily vlogs in NYC ,so happy for you girl and I hope you enjoy it and make the most out of it 💕
I also organize my closet by color coding within type of clothing! I’ve never seen anyone else do it!
Rachel Wooten I also do that 👍
I would have a gate installed in the window by the fire escape. It’s a safety hazard not to.
i hope to move to NY after i finish getting my bachelors in nursing and get my masters in NY so i absolutely love these videos
Aww it turned out sooo cutee. I'd definitely recommend adding string lights because it adds an extra homey feel. I love fairy lights so much :) you could even add them around your full length mirror
Hi Natalie, congratulations for moving into your dream city! I also live in NY and became very creative at building storage and not making my space feels cluttered. Use two wall shelving units for your makeup. All the best to you for this new chapter:)

Good idea! Thank you!
so excited for your journey in new york! living vicariously through you because it's my dream to live there!!
If you move the dresser between the windows you could put a small vanity/desk by the closet!
I am moving to NYC in couple months. So I have been watching all the RUclips videos I can find about people moving there and their experience. The rent is ridiculously high and I have no friends there. So........I'm really stressed but everyone looks so happy to be there
You gotta do what's best for you! Just bc people seem happy, doesn't mean they are and doesn't mean you will be. Do what you need to do
You should get a floating desk for the wall so it will save space and can be smaller in size
You should get a cover for your heater and consider moving the skinny dresser to the wall by the heater if it fits to get more space. In addition, for safety reasons you should make sure you window is secure since your by the fire escape, but should get an extra lock for your front door to be more secure.

That issue with the exposed radiator and make up are...we had a similar problem...we simply went to a plce like Home Depot and bought ceramic tiles which we were able to put together as a "top" which could be used for storage or any use. If you want to spend a bit more, get a marble top custom cu- just a slab cut to lay over the top of the radiator...it allows for the heat to escape into the room and the top to be useful counter space and make up "bench".
im moving to nyc in june and have absolutely no idea what im doing, so im making myself feel responsible by watching these videos
When you’re going to hang the mirror just use or get a set of drawers from ikea, and use that as you vanity area. You can store your makeup/facial stuff in them.
You can move ur dresser to the wall where ur sneakers are and put a small vanity on where the dresser is currently in
different pillows that are black and white will make your room look more simple!
This makes me so excited to film my own moving vlogs one day!
You could put plants on top of the shelf thing it would totally bring a pop into your bedroom
You can move your bed in front of the window, it will make your room look so big then you can buy these tables from Ikea the small ones for your makeup 👍🏻
Move the tall dresser on the wall in between the two windows and put a vanity on the space where the dresser is now
I just tried that!! And I ended up not liking it. :((( Good idea though
You're too sweet to be a New Yorker. Enjoy this beautiful city summer is almost gone 🌃🗽. Welcome to New York 💜. God bless you
MAKE UP SPOT IDEA: buy a shelf from target or any store that u like and mount it underneath the circled mirror and put us it as ur makeup vanity. Some shelves come with two drawers, which i think u can find in ikea and this will be great for some extra storage for ur makeup. xx love u nat
i think you should put your bed under your ac on the wall with windows i think it would give you more space to move around and would open the space up more for your desire and mirror
Payton Acheson I don’t think her room has that much space. If she moves the bed it looks like it would touch the heater and when the winter comes she won’t be able to use it or have her night stand in front of it
Move the sneakers underneath your bed move the five drawer dresser by the closet against the wall next to your bed and then put a small vanity with a cube seat(with storage) where the dresser originally was... also I would take those sweaters or whatever it was that you had in the last drawer of the 5 drawer dresser and put them at the top of your closet that way you can put your underwear and bras in that drawer
If you do use the big shelf above your closet you could always get wicker baskets to put the stuff in, that way it looks prettier and not cluttered
Ik I’m probably late but I think you should get one of those pull out desks for your vanity and put it next to your dresser it would be a nice way of saving space but it’ll still look nice
Cut a piece of wood to fit, stain it cute, attach it to the wall with hinges so you can fold it down when you are not using it and fold it up when you are! Stool that can slide under and when your not using it will just be a little sitting stool.
This is a DREAM! Love the apartment!
you should put your matching night stand next to the matching dresser for a vanity
Can you film a video on how to find an apartment in NYC? as well as how you are adjusting there! I have never lived there but I have also considered! I just want to weigh the pros and cons of moving to NY!
girl, i still can't believe your in NYC!! the craziest changes in this last year
I was gonna say you should put plants on that one top shelf you want to avoid, but watering would be hard! So you should get like 5 pretty fake plants to put across the top, it would look so cute!!

Like a cute little ottoman you could set below. And then when you fold it up it’s not too cramped but it’s practical ! Hope that makes sense
For makeup you could get an acrylic organizer and put it on top of your dresser to store it someowhere other than your bag
You can put a really cool custom wood cover over the radiator and turn it into a beauty nook for sure.
I would put the dresser with all the drawers on the other side between the windows. I would put the night table on the other side of the bed. The coat rack she is getting I would put where she has her night table. I would put a little caddy for her to roll towards her bed when she needs to do her makeup. I would suggest getting a safety gate for the fireplace window for safety reasons. Enjoy NY!!!
You should consider putting one side of your bed against a wall. It will make your room feel more open.
I think you should put your night stand on the left side of your bed and put your vanity on the right side (maybe scooting the bed over a teeny bit). Having your vanity next to the window will provide some amazing food natural light and you could also sit on that side for filming.
Yes in ikea there are little vanities for makeup, that would fit perfect between your desk and closet
I would put that dresser on the other side of the wall between the two windows, move the night stand to the other side of the bed to provide balance within the room. Also it would leave room for a small vanity next to the closet.

put the dresser between the two wiindows, the mirror between the bed and closet and on the other wall beside the closet get a mini vanity!! and you’ll have a cute background for pics too!!!
The west village will always be the best neighborhood in nyc
You can use a floating shelf, a round mirror and a small puff as vanity on the side os the dresser instead of the chair.

You can buy the same bedside table to put on the other side of the bed then a vanity table next to the closet. Just a suggestion for more storage. 😊
You could put your big dresser in the corner over by the window on a kitty corner angle move the night table on the other side of your bed, then that wall is freed up for a small vanity or a nice floating shelf.
you can buy a few floating shelves and put a mirror about them for a vanity
I suggest putting pictures or fake plants or what ever you want to put on the high ledge thing in you bedroom
Wow . I used to live in New York and my apartment was huge . Huge kitchen and good size bathroom along with three spacious bedrooms and two hallways. It definitely depends where in New York you move to so no, not all New York apartments are tiny . Lol . But that is what you get in most of the apartments in Manhattan close to the city I guess.

Out the dresser where the shoes are shoes on the other side of the bed so u can fit the vanity put a rack infront of the bed next to the mirror for hanging u should be fine the rest is gorge or store ur coats up top on that extra storage get a stepping stool that way u don’t need the rack
Hey! I live in NYC too and it was noisy in my first apartment and I bought a sleep machine from amazon and it did the trick!
Floating shelf under the circle mirror between the windows for you makeup
Night stand on the other side of your bed, and the dresser between the two windows and a small vanity next to the closet where the dresser was. :)
You could put the dresser next to your bed on the opposite side of the night stand and then put a small vanity on that same wall!
Yesss I have been planning to get that set from Ikea for a while now, so glad I can see how they perform!!
It’s sooo cute you’re giving me all the moving inspo right now, it’s my dream to move to NY 😍
You’re room is huge!!! It looks amazing! I am so so so happy for you natalie, your energy in this vid literally got me excited for me to move one day LMAO love u babe
Ahhhh, congratulations!!! How exciting!! Praying for you.
Buy a shoe rack for the back of the door and put your shoes next to your bed in it. Put the night stand on the other side of the bed and then find a smaller vanity and put it next to your bed on the window side and put the fake plant next to your dresser. I think the clothing rack next to your bed will make it look too crowded but in the end it’s your room, you arrange it how you like. Love it though.
The tall dresser should go by the ac , the small one should go by the closet as your night stand and that are should be your vanity area with your big circle mirror..
You could do a small acrylic desk to put between the windows for a vanity/desk space and can use the fluffy stool there
You can hang a shelf under the mirror between your windows for your makeup you know like a small vanity it will help without using a-lot of space
