What a likeable, talented and hard working guy x
A Murphy bed that has a 10 hours hour timer, then flips back up. That will give them the hint!
I decided a Murphy Bed takes up too much closet space and I a going to get a fold out couch in there.
@@courtneyact have you heard of youtubers like nostalgia critic, angry video game nerd, cinema snob, film brain, obscurus lupa, linkara, spooney, phelous, nostalgia chick, todd in the shadows, and rap critic
Wow! A view of bondi! That would have cost an arm and a leg!
gorgeous view and the 🦜 !
Congratulations Shane, I'm glad you've purchased in Australia! and making it your home.
You seem like a lovely person, as I have followed you during drag etc. You make a stunning female probably the best looker from Ru Pauls shows.
Please keep making more and more content for Australia.
I see you've done some interviews on ABCs One Plus One. Well done. I support you 🤗🇭🇲
Agree d
Queen of the World if you ask me. Hands down
I mean, as far as I'm concerned with drag queens there are Endless categories even subcategories, Courtney is a very close 5 for 5😊
Congratulations on your beautiful new home. Thanks for showing us around 💜
I immediately thought I'd move the dining area, and loved that was your first planned change. Love the idea of making the sleeping area a library and open to your living space.
Darling, congratulations!!! Its gorgeous!!! Another big achievement & milestone in your life. Thanks for letting us in & sharing it all with us 💜💜😘😘 xx
So glad I found you on Y. You’re such a gorgeous human.
Thanks Susan xx
Congratulations! New place, new good moments and stories to talk about.
Love the new pad and all your ideas. In the kitchen I’d make the back wall where the cooktop is full height cupboards, floor (kickboard space for chopping boards and cooking trays) right to the ceiling. Get a single sink (assuming you can fit a dishwashing drawer somewhere) that has a chopping board cover so it acts as both and an induction stove on the bench height section under the window. See if you can use the space between the studs on the west wall or put in a high shelf with hanging hooks under for pots and pans. Don’t have any cupboard pull handles, they take up space, use with cute cutouts instead. I’ve worked with a lot of small kitchens!
Your home will be fantastic. How could it not?
Maybe you can get one of the Bondi Beach fellas to save you?
The windows are everything! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
I am in the middle of a snow storm- we got 3 inches so far. I can use a look into summer.
Congrats on being a home owner!!!
Congratulations! May you find calm and peace in your new place! Have fun decorating the place. ❤️
It always takes a while to sink in when you buy a house that it's actually, truly yours. You then start thinking about paying for it and you start getting grey hairs (regardless of your age). 😂 🖤
Omg! Congrats you deserve more! This really shows how far you have come. I recently purchased mine last two months paid in cash. Watching this video makes me feel very proud of who I am and of what I’ve accomplished. I’m glad I made a wise financial choice that changed me.
Sending you good and positive vibes .❤️
Congrats ! You kind of kindled this little fire in me😂, I’m motivated and I’m also saving up to buy a house so this means a lot to me right now. Would you mind sharing some advice on how to increase my income?
@whitebeca194 thank you. ❤️
@@lucymountfort783 haha😊 okay.
Here are some tips that helped me:
1. Plan towards it.
2. Be frugal and minimal on spending( don’t buy what you don’t need).
3. Save money towards retirement( Roth IRA/401k).
4. Build an emergency fund.
5. Save to invest. This is the most important because it’s a proven way to get richer. Very important to financial success.
@@rankywhite1940 I learnt a lot from this. Kudos for disseminating this enlightening data.
@@rankywhite1940 Thank you for replying me and speaking about investment; I’ve heard it but not sure of where to begin or how to make a decent one, can you explain further please?
I'm turning 40 in less than 2 weeks and I just started my own business at the beginning of the year. It's a success and growing! Here's to milestones!!
I'm so pleased that you're finally back with the Courtney Chronicles! Congratulations on buying your new home, which has a stunning view, and I know that it will be fantastic, after you've decorated it! I'm happy for you, but I'm sad, as that means that your life will be in Australia, and you're not coming back here to London. Hopefully you'll return for a show! Love you and....Good night Courtney!💜💜💜
Congratulations! How wonderful. Thanks for sharing 🎉
Congratulations on buying your first property! Especially one in Sydney ❤ KILLING IT!!!
Its a clean slate, how fun! ❤❤❤❤ Enjoy the journey hunny.
That painting is amazing, and so r u 🤫😏 Happy New Year you look happy thats what counts 😊👍😎🇦🇺
Happy new year to you too x
@@courtneyact ❤😊👍😎🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🍺🍻
Congratulations and I'm so happy this series is back love you ❤️❤️
Congratulations on the new place!!!
Goals!!!! Congrats!
Looking forward to to see your apartment decorated ❤ congratulations
Congrats Shane ..! Good purchase no doubt, All windows facing NE which is fantastic for airing out the place with light as we have wet seasons . Great new Bathroom and floors ! Kitchen is fine for the moment as its a small space and newly installed by the looks of things .... have a good think about it ..look in mags and go to Winnings for ideas etc. If its working and not too bad just change the woodwork and the bench top material & sink ..... , have a feel of the area before you put more $$ into it incase you want to lease it out and move to something else now you have equity ! ( rich lady ) Show Alex and BG incase you haven't already. Very exciting news for you !
Omg Courtney Chronicles are back!! Thanks gorg
Congratulations Courtney!
Congrats and love to join you on your journey. Your home is your sanctuary. Can't wait to see the progress
I love your new home Courtney!!! The views are incredible
Absolutely ❤ love your purchased home. Who wouldn’t want to live there? What a view!! The parrot 🦜 is such an extra bonus treat. Leave out some seeds and bread crumbs for more visits. Looking forward in seeing you decorate with ❤love! Brigitte in Tulsa Oklahoma
Thanks Brigitte!
Can't wait to see the place when it's finished! Thanks for the tour, you have a beautiful place in a great location. I'm sure you will enjoy!
Yayy a new chronicles! Please take us with you with the new kitchen, are you having people do the swap or are you doing it yourself? I also wouldn't mind a little vlog style video for going decor shopping - or anything really lol i loved your vlogs from season 1 +2
May your new home be the house of joy for you. Excellent vibes only. Congratulations!
Fantastic Spot with beautiful views. Love it. Congrats Handsome
It's beautiful Courtney, I love it, and I'm happy for you ❤️ Have you got any plans to maybe take the kitchen wall down to make it a bit more open plan?
I couldn't really tell if the kitchen is off the lounge.
I have thought about it. There is a wall that could go...but maybe further down the track
Congratulations on the buy, Miss Courtney! The apartment looks amazing ❤ Give us a tour whenever the remodeling is finished! 🙏🏻😩
And yes! You’re right about the bath. Ideally, you’d want the shower head on the same wall as the toilet and sink because it’s easier to access the shower/bathtub (and because of the water pipes)
And I’m not sure but it looked that the glass partition might be able to be “opened” like a door…? 🧐
After I slipped over getting into the bath the other night (I might have had a few sherry's) I realised the glass partition is in fact a door! lol
Congratulations and I. I’m sure you are going to be very happy in your new place. Your own home ❤️
Lovely to see your new place - You certainly do deserve it for everything that you have done for all of us. x
Hey! It’s the guys from play school!! Love this
So happy to see the chronicles back !
Congratulations! I hope you get your new place just the way you want it. Happy New Year!
Congrats on your new home.
Happy housewarming🎉
Congratulations!!! Looking forward to seeing all the renovations.
Congratulations as I can't wait to see when everything comes together. As the views are breathtaking and you will making new friends in no time especially those beautiful rainbow lorikeets 😍😍
So fun & looking forward to watching!!
Omg, it looks so cozy!!! I love it❤ proud of uuu bae
I need some furnature and it will be cosy soon! x
Can’t wait to see the transformation!
Thanks doll x
Good luck and happiness in your new home!

So glad you enjoyed it! xxx
Beautiful place! Congrats 🫶🌈
Congratulations 🎉❤
congratulations, it looks lovely and so much potential.
Defs put your bed facing the windows and not the door! It'll mess with the fengshui if your feet point towards the door. You'll have restless nights.
Congrats!!!!!
Congrats for he new beautiful house !!! greetings from Mexico
Congrats on your new home!
Awesome place And wanna watch the journey
Now you can get a pet and go visit Bondi Vet Chris and say hi for me ( hello to you too, hahahaha)
And also let the crew down at the Bondi Beach that I said hello too. I love watching both and you of course.......Jethro is my favorite.
Sooo funny the part in the bath as you're unscrewing the shower head .."those that know,...know! 🤣
Water Runs Clear by the AAA Girls coming out any day now!
Holy shit, I bought my first home too and moving in Jan! Yaaasss Aussie home owners - werk. xx
Oh my,Birdie followed you ❤ .
Congratulations on your first home 👍❤️👍🤓
congratulations!! 🥳🎉
Wow!! The views!! Congrats.
Condragulations on the new home & first home purchase!!!! 🎊🪩🎊 I love all your ideas & thoughts for your home 🏡 Make it your own & sounds like you’re definitely going to 😉 Can’t wait to see what you do!
Thanks for sharing and congrats! I love looking at appartments! What are those sensors (?) on some of the windows? Like in the corner windows in your living room, seen at the end of the video.
Congrats on the new condo, the view looks geeat! Is Sydney better than West Hollywood?
its gorgeous
Those are the whitest red Solo cups, evet! 😂 Congrats!! Your place is great! Color me shocked, a world renowned Drag Queen using the biggest bedroom as a closet. 😂 😂 😂
Congratulations!! ✨🎉🥳💐🌿🌺
Congrats, buying a house in Sydney is a mix of joy, excitement and angst as you realise you have to keep working for the next few decades to pay it all off :) 🤔😆🤣
Because of a very special little one, we pronounce periwinkle “periwiggle”😁🥰
Congratulations!🤗
LOVE LOVE LOVE 💋
Courtney is so me, i love her!!!
I would ditch the murphy bed Iy would take up valuable wall space. Put a click clack sofa instead against the window. Or if you want it in the middle of the back wall. The murphy bed space would make and excellent shoe rack. Then you would have the sofa to sit on and put shoes on etc. Click clack sofas are super stylish mid century modern,
You have to decide where you want energy and where you want tranquility.
Aw the lorikeet came back!
Love it Court! 😘
The best part of owning your own home is that you can design the space the way you want it.The possibilities are endless darling Courtney.But the main thing is that you enjoy your new home and make it your own.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌈🏳️🌈 Rob 👄💋
I'm so excited about the drag room. Definitely not a selling point when the time comes to sell...but it will bring me jot
@@courtneyact I can just picture how fabulous this space will be. Your very own walk in drag extravaganza. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 but the main thing is the absolute satisfaction when it's all finished and how happy you will be.The joy is just the icing on the cake I have a strong feeling that you will be living in your beautiful place for quite a long time.I'm so happy and excited for you gorgeous courtney .And don't stress everything will be fine it's just the next chapter in your journey and the possibilities are endless. 😃
Hope you have a beautiful fabulous Christmas Dear Courtney and a fantastic new year.❤️💚🎅🤶🎄🎁👼😇💫⭐🌟✨
Congratulations wooowooowooo
Ah you want feedback..
Well, I would firstly change the windows to full glass window paynes as there is too many window sections, make them full view stunning.
The bath is fab for washing your drag costumes in 👍.
Definitely change that shower glass panel to the other side where toilet is, get rid of that white L shape half bench next to main window, it's a waste of space. Great idea having the largest room for your Drag stuff and filming.
Looks like the ceiling height is either 30 or 32 brick high. That's good.
Yes get rid of old original built in robes make lots of long white shelving with overhead internal lighting like Kardashian.
Is it air conditioned, you might need split systems for cooling and heating?
Is the place/walls sound proof?
Change to all lights downlighting.
Have you thought of the washing machine ? You could take the dishwasher out in kitchen, if there is one? To a front end Loader washing machine. The Americans don't have laundry rooms they conveniently place them in nook and cranny, lol.
Replace the front door, 🤣
Get rid of the white overhead cabinet unless you have any trophies Oscars, awards?? I so love that artist you chose the paintings of you she did are brilliant.
Can you push out that kitchen ?? The small balcony is it safe when you are having parties ?
The extra bed clearly, you need for family staying over, of course.
Remember to use paint colour to make the rooms bigger and open.
Get rid of that cane lamp shade.
Keep us updated 😊
You have really gone in! Thank you xxx
Don’t forget there’s prob a lot of restrictions due to body corporate-as Shane doesn’t own the building just the home/flat inside it. I highly doubt they are allowed to change the windows as much as I agree they would look great as one big one.
#1, Girl, explain about the parrot. Whew, OK, now I can get on with it. First, you do NOT look more than 23 years old. Whatever deal you've made or whatever painting you've got hanging aging for you, it's working. LOVE the new house, LOVE the idea of a housewarming while you're still thinking over what to do in it. SO SMART to get lots of ideas, while it's cleared out, and LOVE the dance space. LOVE the way you're setting it up. If I were VAMOUS and VABULOUS like you, I'd get a youtuber decorating bitch in to do my storage. LOVE the way you've thought things through, with the canvas paintings (you'll want to keep them forever anyway, natch) and all the details.
When we did our house, we put a large standing shower in and no tub. Much better to stand on a flat surface, and water soaks cause infections, cozy as they are. AND 2 people can fit into our shower ROOM without bumping elbows, which makes it more fun. We also have a color-changing light with a built-in speaker in the shower room. :-)
Best of all luck, and Happy Holidaze to you and yours! Great to see the channel and looking forward to your updates. Hope your tour went stupendously good! Come closer to Stuttgart Germany, when you can.
The parrot is called a Rainbow Lorikeet, they are wild birds native to Australia and some used to come sit on my balcony at my old place and they also come visit on my balcony at my new place!
So jelly!
If you know you know! And we do know XD
Ok, first congratulations on your new home!! And second You do NOT look your age at all! Happy house decorating!
