Damon should literally be the shining example to everyone on how important it is to curate your environment. You're attention to detail, narratives, and experience are beautiful. I've been watching you since I was twelve (I'm 20 now, lmao) and I've found it inspiring that wherever you go, you find the beauty in every place, and if it's hard to find it, you create it. It's like you said here: it's a little pleasure. Sure, you can waddle through life being a bit more complacent with your surroundings but literally why would you if you can be happier where you are. Life is beautiful but it's also ready and primed for shaping. It's clay ready to be worked by eager hands! All this is to say, I appreciate you and all the hard work you've done to get yourself here. Félicitations Damon.
So true! My friends and I shared this rathole, but we always made sure it was super clean (took out the trash almost daily, mopped the floors weekly, scrubbed the bathtub weekly and so on). Filled it with home-cooked meals, friends, plants and cute pets and candle lanters . It was the most awful place I’ve ever lived at apartment-wise, but it still felt like such an amazing home with so much warmth. A place can look amazing, but not feel like hime at all. You’re so right about what you voiced in your comment :)
She's got style she's got flair....that's how she became an interior designer. Joking a side it's a great apartment, and the view omg! You've done a great job with the decor! Loves it.
That spiel about your $9 bowls and les petits plaisirs really hit different. I've been conditioned to always buy the cheapest things and now that I'm not strapped for cash it's so hard to unlearn that to prioritize those little things that I'll be surrounded by every day. Or I keep buying the cheaper thing only to hate it and go buy what I actually wanted! I know caring for yourself shouldn't have to involve money but also this is a different type of self care (like how many times do you buy something nice for a friend but would never get that thing for yourself?!)
Kritika! Hey! I mean I won't say it doesn't hurt when I'm at the cash register, but to be honest, after a month of using them, you'll realize it's all fine and you'll be happy. After all, they'll probably last for years, so while it's expensive, it's not...unreasonable!
@@damondominique Hey!! Haha yea still gotta save that cash for traveling.. but yes I've often heard, of all the things we lose, we miss money the least. Of course, not true for everyone in many contexts, but after a certain point, there's so many more things that are worth more.
I invested in a set of $200+ towels and it was a game changer. You shower every day why not have luxury. I also got a $2k mattress and great sheets. I’m on the hunt for the perfect pillows. And I upgraded some of my dishes and it brings me joy everyday. Plus buying artwork from all my friends and having it around my apartment! I’ve been at my place over a year and when I renew my lease I plan on painting all the walls I’ve been desiring too and buying furniture pieces I am missing. I love my place and it feels like a home compared to everyone else I have lived. Invest in your home and things you’re going to use all the time. It’s the best investment compared to other purchases. You can have them forever or years and years potentially!!
I related so hard when I read your comment, growing up in a middle-class family, I felt guilty to even ask for things that aren't the cheapest or not absolutely necessary. Now that I can handle my own finances, it feels liberating to spend money on things that make me happy. Also, got onto buying myself gifts occasionally which makes me feel loved too.
I knew this was gonna be an upgrade from my last place when I signed the lease while sipping a beer with the landlord. Merci Sébastien! (and *I promise* I will spackle the holes in the walls when I leave)
This place totally reflects Damon's personality! Chaotically aesthetic but also very pleasant and heartwarming. 16:15 homie that's Korean not Chinese 😂 and it's not even properly placed 🤣🤣🤣 you have to turn your head to read it I'm dying
For me the most profound and interesting part of the video was from 18:27 - 18:55, as you can really see how vulnerable Damon is here, where he realises that all the years of hard work and dreaming of living in a home where he can be his true self and live in a place that feels like an extension of his personality has been finally realised. It's a small, subtle moment but beautiful...or that's what came up for me anyway aha! Beautiful video Damon, I'm happy for you! I've been renovating and redesigning my home for the last year as well, after years of wanting a place where I could call home. So I know that feeling of when you look around and you're happy at everything you see and excited to live in it! :-D
it’s been over a year since i’ve moved into my dream apartment and it is nowhere near this level of furnished. you inspire me to expedite my interior design process and really build my home into something that’s beautiful and not just functional!
I have a theory that a few months, in you start giving up bc you're already planning to move to your next place lmao. However it's designed in the first few months is how it will remain!
You are totally on the money about the importance of shopping by yourself. I started antique shopping on my own, and I recently got some leather gloves and this adorable felt hat. My friends would definitely have talked me out of getting them, but the purchase made me so happy!
I didn't know this was a thing and now I get it! I normally go to flea markets with friends just for fun. Once I saw an amazing jacket and my friend told me not to buy it. It's been 3 years and I still think in that jacket (lol) bc I never saw anything like it again.
You are literally like that suave bachelor in every 1960s rom com where like their potential lover walks into the apartment and a record automatically starts playing ✨🎶like whaaaaaaaaaa
Sustainable, maximalist, unconventional colour palette king!! Love how buying second hand in Paris means your home can look like a Renaissance palace if you want it to. Not the case in Australia 😂
HONESTLY I THROW DOWN IN THAT OVEN. THE ROASTED BROCCOLI? THE ROASTED EGGPLANT? THE ROASTED EGGPLANT!? (aka everything is burnt and crispy and potentially carcinogenic)
I was watching this with a cup of tea under a blanket and it felt like you invited me over and just went off telling me about all the things you own and I loved every second, thanks for letting all of us live vicariously through you
Damon has slowly become a professional film maker/comedian, I was way more entertained in this video than in any AD one, congrats man, also, dont underestimate the class that a chaise lounge gives, awesome apartment.
I've been watching you for the last eight years and I am in constant amazement of how you take this spinning ball and make it into a beautiful life. Good things do come to those who wait. xo
I am 26, almost 27. I’ve lived on my own since 18 and every single place I live I say “the next place I live I will make what I want” “when I’m done with school I’ll finally do what I want” but I keep moving year after year and it never ever happens. Well, this July I’m moving to a new apartment and will probably only stay there one year….. but I don’t care, I’m going to make it what I want. It helps I’ll finally be done with my masters and finally have a bit of extra coin (despite starting my loan paying journey) but I can’t wait to live my life forever! Especially since I’ve been doing school from home the past 2 years since I live in Chicago and we never have gotten to go in person due to Covid. I’m tired of seeing something that doesn’t spark joy every day. Your home is important to who you are and I loved seeing yours in this video
I also took Rita Konig's Create Academy course, and really enjoyed it. I especially appreciate how Rita avoids the usual trap of decorating homes to a particular taste or style; rather, she provides practical advice on how one can decorate their home according to their own taste. (edited to add): I think it's really great that you picked interesting dishes to use. From my personal experience, I've had the same sensible plain white china since living on my own many years ago... never bothered me until spending 2-ish years at home, I am getting really bored of them and am ready for anything else!
Beautiful apartment, love it Damon. You had me cracking up when you said the elderly couple across the apartment brings you comfort and makes you feel safe when they have their lights on 🥺💗
I LOVE YOUR STYLE! I wish I was so brave and creative. You’re absolutely right that you should shop alone, because i’ve walked away from so many things that I’ve loved because of other people and when I go back it’s gone. I am totally taking your advice. Love from 🇨🇦
Finally! The apartment tour! First: Rita Konig...I love love love her and love that you worked with her. Second: The limited color palette is so underestimated. Third (there's always 3 lol): Definitely get the "No Ramen" poster/print. That's a hoot. I'm so glad nothing is hanging from an outlet in the kitchen hahaha Bonus: The big lamp in the bedroom is such a winner! Aaaand: The couple in your view drinking at 9:30 am is a vibe. ❤
Couldn't agree more about the sheets! Bought 110 euro sheets and have never slept better and felt more luxurious in my life. Your apartment looks incredible by the way!!!
WOW im in love with your aesthetic and I LEARNED SO MUCH thank you for explainging your design process and how you add texture to white backgrounds and soft and hard things compliment each other -- it was so helpful! Also im so proud of you!!! watching your elevation through apartments has been so inspiring
I absolutely love your new apartment! It is such a perfect location, a corner loft apartment in Paris with that VIEW! I love your color scheme - black, white, green, red, yellow/gold. Your comment about the elderly couple across the street having their light on makes you feel safe touched my heart. You're living your dream and I'm so happy for you. I am American and 70% French. I visited Paris in 2013 with my oldest daughter and felt like I had "come home" even though I'd never been there before. Your French is absolutely beautiful. I wish you much happiness in your stunning new home. Will you be making a video of your new neighborhood, would love to see. Much love from Roswell, GA! Take care Damon. 🙋♀️🐱🐱🇫🇷❤
Oh Damon, I am so happy for you. Although you are much younger than me, I have so much to learn from you. It's great to see a young man like yourself living fearlessly and working so hard to get where you are. This space is beautiful and it's a proof of who you are and what you have accomplished.
i JUST redecorated my living space yesterday with my roommates and it really is a game changer when you put that effort into the customization to make the space feel more livable. i am working towards where youre at and having an apartment on my own that i can fully decorate by myself but this place im at right now is a really good blueprint for me to explore my tastes right now and see how they evolve once i make it to my dream solo space. love seeing this update from you and i cant wait to see more!!
Honestly, when I’m depressed I just watch one of your videos, indulge in your creativity and optimism and try to absorb all those good energies your radiate to the world
I love how home-y this conversation was- very real, lots of good tips, and just a great apartment! Some of these design elements are impeccable, it actually feels like pieces of a museum in there. I love your videos dude!
Dude I’m so excited for you! I’ve only been following you for a few years, but this is such a huge come up. Especially with all the trouble you had getting an apartment in the first place. I love that you invested in pieces for your new home that give you those little moments of happiness. It shows you are feeling more permanent and settled. It’s great to see.
I've never really decorated my homes much since I moved out and went to uni because I've lived in 6 different places in the past 8 years, but seeing you decorate your space makes me want to put in more effort! Also I love turning on that fireplace video on my TV while I'm curled up on the sofa with a book
i love love love how each area has it's own vibe and yet everything still blends together, i have so many different visual interests that i just thought each room in my future house is gonna have to be it's own genre but thisss, this really works
It looks amazing with those nice touches ! I’ve been watching your videos for some years now and it feels like a close friend got a new apartment… congrats Damon :) wish you an amazing time in this apartment x
Honestly Damon, you are so humble, this to me personally would be an apartment I could not make work unless I really really had to and you are just so happy and grateful throughout this video. You deserve this apartment and so much more (and with more I mean one day more space because those apartments are tinyyyy)
Yes, I have been following your channel for a while and as you've said, we have seen some of the places that you have lived. This is well deserved, well and truly earnt! So very happy for you. Looks like something out of New Yorker magazine, a great reflection of your style. Congrats!
I love your comment about feeling safe having your neighbors (the couple in their 60’s/70’s) on the window the other side of the street. Those small tastes of community are very significant for me too. Blessings from Brazil!
Hi damon hopefully all is well I've read everyone's opinion about your video to be honest with you I really enjoyed watching and also I really appreciate you taking the time out to show us a part of your life. But to point out my favorite part of the video was as you were sitting down talking to us as the skies were turning dark I can only imagine sitting in your front room at night with a low lit candle or possibly pitch black darkness looking at the well lit street lights reflecting on the beautiful old Parisian buildings thinking about the beauty itself and how you came a long way as we all have seen your journey I just want to point out that if ain't nobody else tell you today tomorrow always I'm happy and proud of you please take care of yourself keep the faith stay focused and Godspeed
Damon! You’re literally what I’m trynna manifest at night, keep it up king!! 😤 We need our constant inspo-whopping so that we don’t forget to KEEP THE F GOING AND MAKE THE DREAM COME TRUE! Oh and I love the apartment 😌
J'adore It's so you! Même si il y a quelques objets que je n'aurais pas acheté l'ensemble fonctionne parfaitement !! Ça change de ce qu'on vois partout c'est vraiment beau :)
Damon is so detail oriented and I LOVE that .He's just so passionate about creative projects its just so inspiring .And the FRAMES !!!!!THE COLORS !!!! THE WAY HE'S NEVER STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRAME .*chefs kiss*
I'm not super regular watching your videos, but every time I watch them I wonder why don't I do it more often. You're so funny, the vibes are *immaculate* and you're just extremely entertaining. I honestly don't know how you don't have millions of subscribers. Your whole aesthetic, the editing, all the videos are just.... chef's kiss!
I loved this! I got my own place last autumn and it has been so much fun to finally get to explore my own taste in interior! It's so much fun and I love just seeing everything come together!
after every single video of you damon, i am just impressed ! i follow you for several years now, and feels like a full circle moment, to see you in your own (very well decorated) apartment
Really happy to see you have a real home where you can truly be yourself. I'm a New Zealander living in Lyon and have bounced about this city and other appartments in France while studying/working/travelling/ and it can be exhausting. I finally got a real 'chez moi' in Lyon just before Christmas. Makes such a huge difference mentally. Also, loved your story about the sweet couple living opposite. That definitly helps when you're far from home. Enjoy your new space. You deserve it.
Honestly Damon, its stunning, it's even larger than I first thought. I smile every time you show the windows, they are gorgeous and the built in, wow. Your friend did you right by giving you a heads up, that's the best way to find a place anywhere in the world.
I love how seeing the neighbor family makes you feel safe and brings memories of comfort to you from your own family. You may be a long way from Indiana, and you look like you are doing comfortably well. I don’t know, girl. I do not think I could be happy looking out my windows at a bunch of ancient housing projects, but you do you. I gots to have a house. Tu dois acheter une maison en France, ma fille. J'espère que vous trouverez plein de voisins pour apprendre à vous connaître et vous tenir compagnie.
Dude the lampshade idea is dope! Letting people draw on your stuff is so fun. I have been letting people draw whatever they want on the inside of my car for about a year and it's so nice to see the variety that ppl come up with when you let them do something creative with your space.
also, it's awesome to see you and jo, even tough you're not together anymore, but just to see that you both created roots somewhere, you've got something like the apartment you were looking for, i'm just happy for you damon, for you two really. that's one strange and funny thing about our times, you two have influenced so much but you don't know me. anyways, bisous damon, cheers from brazil
Beautiful you immediatley opened up to the page of your view. I had a similar experience- made a drawing of a camper and some trees in 2016 dreaming of moving out west to Arizona as I had since I can remember. 2020 first night in my first apartment in AZ I look out to see my view is a parking lot and there it was! The EXACT camper and palm trees that I had drawn 4 years prior. Full circle moments in life are incredible, cheers to the universe
ah damon ive been watching you since you had the shut up and go channel and were traveling with Jo in New Orleans and to see you come so far is just so inspiring!
So happy to see you accomplish your goals Damon, it really shows in this video that you’re enjoying this new phase and I hope it only gets better! GORGEOUS PLACE, wouldn’t change a thing
Ahhh this video is so inspiring. I just moved to Mexico 8 months ago and this first apartment I'm in really felt like settling, but I know eventually I'll be able to upgrade to the place of my dreams!!
I looove how you said that you need to go shopping alone! That's what I do all the time, my friends sometimes do not realize or cannot understand that even though something is pricey I do not care. Because it brings me happiness and joy, and I don't care about the price tag when it comes to my happiness. I guess money does buy you happiness after all lol
Watching this makes me feel like I’ve won and arrived with you! I’m so happy for you Damon. This is so huge, you’re decorating is superb and pleaseeee get even more 9€ plates and bowels!! AHHH. SO GREAT!
Moving on up!! That apartment is beautiful, but I have always loved your design style. You definitely did not disappoint, I am impressed with the wicker lamp and how it was paired next to that cool green almost paisley floral bedspread. Typically I associate those lamps with southern fancy grandmas, but it WORKS! I think shopping alone is important for both furniture and fashion, many people lack vision.
Where have you been? NO! Where have I been?! So glad I stumbled onto your channel. I’m American living in London. I just moved into an unfurnished flat for the first time and having a blast kitting out my place. Love love love your home. Looks fab! Will keep watching. And I’m going to use some of your ideas 💡
Babes not gonna say you made it cause there's always more to attain but this feels like a "you made it" moment in your career/life your place is stunning xx
I love that your home looks like an interior version of you.
It's literally the one place, the one CHANCE you get to show others (and yourself) what you're all about! ❤
this is EXACTLY it

Sébastien 👀 okeeer Damon in Paris 🤣
I remember when he was struggling of finding an apartment at all in Paris because of documents and stuff, but look at him now... Immensely proud!
This place totally reflects Damon's personality! Chaotically aesthetic but also very pleasant and heartwarming.

i'm so happy for you damon. you are living your best life and the apartment looks gorgeous and your editing and aesthetic is always on point. love!
Oh Damon, I am so happy for you. Although you are much younger than me, I have so much to learn from you. It's great to see a young man like yourself living fearlessly and working so hard to get where you are. This space is beautiful and it's a proof of who you are and what you have accomplished.
i JUST redecorated my living space yesterday with my roommates and it really is a game changer when you put that effort into the customization to make the space feel more livable. i am working towards where youre at and having an apartment on my own that i can fully decorate by myself but this place im at right now is a really good blueprint for me to explore my tastes right now and see how they evolve once i make it to my dream solo space. love seeing this update from you and i cant wait to see more!!
Honestly, when I’m depressed I just watch one of your videos, indulge in your creativity and optimism and try to absorb all those good energies your radiate to the world
omg this flat is magnifique!!! looks so cool, but simple, french, acccch
I love how home-y this conversation was- very real, lots of good tips, and just a great apartment! Some of these design elements are impeccable, it actually feels like pieces of a museum in there. I love your videos dude!
Damon, your content is pure escapism. Thank you for creating such beautiful, touching and hilarious content.
You and drew are my favorite humans to watch on RUclips. There’s the the perfect amount of intimacy in all of your videos.
I know I’m late to the party but your apartment! Your eye! These colors and textures 😍😍😍 I’ve learned so much 🙏🏾🖤🤍❤️💚💛
Dude I’m so excited for you! I’ve only been following you for a few years, but this is such a huge come up. Especially with all the trouble you had getting an apartment in the first place. I love that you invested in pieces for your new home that give you those little moments of happiness. It shows you are feeling more permanent and settled. It’s great to see.
I've never really decorated my homes much since I moved out and went to uni because I've lived in 6 different places in the past 8 years, but seeing you decorate your space makes me want to put in more effort! Also I love turning on that fireplace video on my TV while I'm curled up on the sofa with a book
The editing we see in your videos, we see in your home! Love it!
i love love love how each area has it's own vibe and yet everything still blends together, i have so many different visual interests that i just thought each room in my future house is gonna have to be it's own genre but thisss, this really works
This is truly amazing Damon, this apartment is a reflection of your progress and your labor. Happy to see you acomplish what you set yourself to do.
It looks amazing with those nice touches !
I’ve been watching your videos for some years now and it feels like a close friend got a new apartment… congrats Damon :) wish you an amazing time in this apartment x
Honestly Damon, you are so humble, this to me personally would be an apartment I could not make work unless I really really had to and you are just so happy and grateful throughout this video. You deserve this apartment and so much more (and with more I mean one day more space because those apartments are tinyyyy)
Yes, I have been following your channel for a while and as you've said, we have seen some of the places that you have lived. This is well deserved, well and truly earnt! So very happy for you. Looks like something out of New Yorker magazine, a great reflection of your style. Congrats!
I love your comment about feeling safe having your neighbors (the couple in their 60’s/70’s) on the window the other side of the street. Those small tastes of community are very significant for me too. Blessings from Brazil!
This is one of my fave videos I’ve watched of yours, more interior videos please x
Hi damon hopefully all is well I've read everyone's opinion about your video to be honest with you I really enjoyed watching and also I really appreciate you taking the time out to show us a part of your life. But to point out my favorite part of the video was as you were sitting down talking to us as the skies were turning dark I can only imagine sitting in your front room at night with a low lit candle or possibly pitch black darkness looking at the well lit street lights reflecting on the beautiful old Parisian buildings thinking about the beauty itself and how you came a long way as we all have seen your journey I just want to point out that if ain't nobody else tell you today tomorrow always I'm happy and proud of you please take care of yourself keep the faith stay focused and Godspeed
Damon! You’re literally what I’m trynna manifest at night, keep it up king!! 😤 We need our constant inspo-whopping so that we don’t forget to KEEP THE F GOING AND MAKE THE DREAM COME TRUE!
Oh and I love the apartment 😌
I LOVE you space! I'm a minimalist and appreciate a curated decor. But everything in your apartment sparks joy and it just radiates positivity! 😍😃
J'adore It's so you! Même si il y a quelques objets que je n'aurais pas acheté l'ensemble fonctionne parfaitement !! Ça change de ce qu'on vois partout c'est vraiment beau :)
Ain't no party like a thrift store party!!! The high you get from your finds!! It looks so cozy especially at dusk. Luv it!
The apartment is so pretty wow!!! There also seems to be a LOT of storage space which is amazing!
Damon is so detail oriented and I LOVE that .He's just so passionate about creative projects its just so inspiring .And the FRAMES !!!!!THE COLORS !!!! THE WAY HE'S NEVER STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRAME .*chefs kiss*
I think you should have a housewarming and invite all of us! Don't worry we'll bring the drinks ;)
I have always loved Damon for whatever he does, the apartment just added so much more to Damon, it's literally his reflection. I love it!
Anyone else just get sooo excited to see a new Damon video?! I always feel so inspired and creative after your videos! 😍🙌🏽🙌🏽
Your videos bring me joy! The way you said the old couple across the way makes you feel safe..AWWW. Gorgeous aparte!!
I would totally pick up that “how to be an existentialist” book if I ever happened to be in your apartment cause god do I need a guide 😂😅
I'm not super regular watching your videos, but every time I watch them I wonder why don't I do it more often. You're so funny, the vibes are *immaculate* and you're just extremely entertaining. I honestly don't know how you don't have millions of subscribers. Your whole aesthetic, the editing, all the videos are just.... chef's kiss!
I loved this!
I got my own place last autumn and it has been so much fun to finally get to explore my own taste in interior! It's so much fun and I love just seeing everything come together!
after every single video of you damon, i am just impressed !
i follow you for several years now, and feels like a full circle moment, to see you in your own (very well decorated) apartment
You truly deserved it, Damon! This apartment looks so chic and classy
Really happy to see you have a real home where you can truly be yourself. I'm a New Zealander living in Lyon and have bounced about this city and other appartments in France while studying/working/travelling/ and it can be exhausting. I finally got a real 'chez moi' in Lyon just before Christmas. Makes such a huge difference mentally. Also, loved your story about the sweet couple living opposite. That definitly helps when you're far from home. Enjoy your new space. You deserve it.
I can now confirm that Damon is the human manifestation of "spontaneity" 😂
Kudos on the new apt, you look really happy with it
It looks gorgeous Damon, dear. Enjoy every minute of it... nothing like home.
From the decor to the furniture to the set up to the high walls to the editing to damon AHHHHH perfection
This is the prettiest apartment i’ve ever seen! You did a great job with the interior design damon!!!
Honestly Damon, its stunning, it's even larger than I first thought. I smile every time you show the windows, they are gorgeous and the built in, wow. Your friend did you right by giving you a heads up, that's the best way to find a place anywhere in the world.
I love how seeing the neighbor family makes you feel safe and brings memories of comfort to you from your own family.
You may be a long way from Indiana, and you look like you are doing comfortably well.
I don’t know, girl. I do not think I could be happy looking out my windows at a bunch of ancient housing projects, but you do you.
I gots to have a house. Tu dois acheter une maison en France, ma fille. J'espère que vous trouverez plein de voisins pour apprendre à vous connaître et vous tenir compagnie.
Housing projects??? Really, now.
But the view is so lovely... Matter of opinions I guess..
Dude the lampshade idea is dope! Letting people draw on your stuff is so fun. I have been letting people draw whatever they want on the inside of my car for about a year and it's so nice to see the variety that ppl come up with when you let them do something creative with your space.
At this point, were just getting a free tv series on a free streaming platform.
I WANT MY CHECK
😏
The editing, the music fx, the jokes this is why i love u, Damon. If u need a dog, i can guard and bark.
also, it's awesome to see you and jo, even tough you're not together anymore, but just to see that you both created roots somewhere, you've got something like the apartment you were looking for, i'm just happy for you damon, for you two really. that's one strange and funny thing about our times, you two have influenced so much but you don't know me. anyways, bisous damon, cheers from brazil
Beautiful you immediatley opened up to the page of your view. I had a similar experience- made a drawing of a camper and some trees in 2016 dreaming of moving out west to Arizona as I had since I can remember. 2020 first night in my first apartment in AZ I look out to see my view is a parking lot and there it was! The EXACT camper and palm trees that I had drawn 4 years prior. Full circle moments in life are incredible, cheers to the universe
Thinking back to the 2 bunk beds in a tiny ass NYC room Damon to this beautiful, stylish Paris Damon is magical.
DO NOT BRING THAT UP ON THIS CHANNEL 😂
I am just so happy you found this apartment! It suits you so well
Why doesn't he have a show yet? Like an Emily in Paris, but with Damon Dominique
It would be so much better with Damon
yes Damon has suchhh a point about fast furniture and homeware, its about quality!!
ah damon ive been watching you since you had the shut up and go channel and were traveling with Jo in New Orleans and to see you come so far is just so inspiring!
So happy to see you accomplish your goals Damon, it really shows in this video that you’re enjoying this new phase and I hope it only gets better! GORGEOUS PLACE, wouldn’t change a thing
Wow. Dream apartment😍 happy for you Damon
i dont know how i feel into this rabbit hole, but i spent the week binge watching your videos! I am hooked!! Best content eveeeeeer :)
I first discovered you from your NYC apartment your and to see this now … DAMON I am BEYOND happy and proud and wow what a Libra you are
Ahhh this video is so inspiring. I just moved to Mexico 8 months ago and this first apartment I'm in really felt like settling, but I know eventually I'll be able to upgrade to the place of my dreams!!
I looove how you said that you need to go shopping alone! That's what I do all the time, my friends sometimes do not realize or cannot understand that even though something is pricey I do not care. Because it brings me happiness and joy, and I don't care about the price tag when it comes to my happiness. I guess money does buy you happiness after all lol
Watching this makes me feel like I’ve won and arrived with you! I’m so happy for you Damon. This is so huge, you’re decorating is superb and pleaseeee get even more 9€ plates and bowels!! AHHH. SO GREAT!
Moving on up!! That apartment is beautiful, but I have always loved your design style. You definitely did not disappoint, I am impressed with the wicker lamp and how it was paired next to that cool green almost paisley floral bedspread. Typically I associate those lamps with southern fancy grandmas, but it WORKS! I think shopping alone is important for both furniture and fashion, many people lack vision.
Lol love the energy of this vid. It’s crazy how much of your place is expressive of who you are. Well.. assuming. Enjoyed this vid!
Where have you been? NO! Where have I been?! So glad I stumbled onto your channel. I’m American living in London. I just moved into an unfurnished flat for the first time and having a blast kitting out my place. Love love love your home. Looks fab! Will keep watching. And I’m going to use some of your ideas 💡
i'm obsessed with your editing!! every video you completely blow it out of the water.
I have been a designer for 25 years and I think your apartment is so great. It looks effortlessly put together. Stylish eclectic and not overwrought!
Babes not gonna say you made it cause there's always more to attain but this feels like a "you made it" moment in your career/life your place is stunning xx
