- Опубликовано: 4 янв 2020
- We've moved again! We live in an 856 sqft apartment in downtown San Antonio, Texas and we LOVE it. This complex has a very industrial look with concrete floors and walls throughout, so I focus on including a lot of knick-knacks to make sure it still feels homie. We're still trying to figure out a few things with this unit so let us know below if you have any ideas!

Command strips for the walls!! Use it in every rental and never regret it
I was going to suggest command strips until I saw your comment
Yes!! The ones with plastic velcro, then when you move you don’t need to replace the pieces on the art, just the piece on the wall.
I am born and raised in Dallas Tx and TRUST ME‼️ That apartment is expensive as HELL for a 1 bedroom you can get something right around $900-100 a month just as nice depending on the area... her apartment shocked the hell out of me lol and especially for the space and structure for $1630 she could have got something like a lavish condo or something... anyone from Texas comment and let me know your opinion?! (Her apartment is nice tho)
It really depends on location in San Antonio one would like to stay. Certain areas can cost more by location. For example, most places that are inexpensive for SA in the metropolitan area tend to be run down or in neighborhoods not as ideal. Other inexpensive locations are very far away from the downtown scene. Most cities have these pockets of expensive in specific locations and people have different preferences of what they want to buy/rent to be in or near said specific areas. To give perspective, I live in SA and my apartment price is half of hers, but the area I live is car required! There isn't a whole lot of things to do within walking distance unless you enjoy shopping at the one of hundreds of identical shopping centers (seriously, the shopping centers all over have basically the same stores only separated by about 2-5 miles from one another). And take into consideration that majority of apartment companies fluctuate their prices on an almost daily basis, so even my own complex the residents pay different prices on the same floor plan! So for all we know, this apartment she got might be cheaper for that complex. Either way, to each their own. If she got the money to throw down for what she wants, ain't no shame to the game. ❤️
You're a cool human.
It's soooooooo calming to watch this video. From your voice, to the music, to your apartment. Love it!
Thank you!
For the rack I’d say get matching hangers to make it look more uniform and small fabric storage bins underneath your clothes. Up to you what to put in the bins but pants might get rid of the bulk. ORRR they even sell hanging cubby systems that generally come with 3-4 little slots and a drawer or two. Neatly folded clothes on that cubby system will look really nice. The system can go on the top pole of your rack and it just hangs vertically ORRRRR If you want to be extra “fancy” you can buy suitcase boxes. They’ll give you a vintage look, and they’ll literally look like decoration only but can secretly be filled with your clothes.
For the pup, there is a bed that exist but isn’t that common. It looks like a human daybed with drawers reduced to a dog size lol.
Sidenote the light in this apartment is GLORIOUS
Matching hangers for the win! All of mine are grey velvet and I love em. Got em from Tuesday Morning. How about that?! Lol
Thank you! This is so helpful 🙋🏾♀️
Hallease ♥️♥️ you’re welcome
bdebramo I like the way you think!! Lol I was thinking of making some from scratch. I always see gorgeous printed fabrics that would make great cubby boxes 😫😫😫 but I stop myself because I will have a thousand
Many Mini Cupcakes nice!!! I found some in the dollar store recently I was shook. I swiped them real quick haha
Something about you in this video is something very precious. It is officially one of my favorites. I giggled along several times and I think you're working magic with the space you have and the lighting is definitely amazing.
Suggestions!
That kitchen island is way to small. That long space feels like it overwhelms a lot of the smaller furniture in there. I would get a bigger island and consider moving the other half of the shelf from the entry and putting it next to its other half to make a longer shelf. You could put a dog bed in the entry and some hooks for the leash and stuff. Also definitely hang your pictures! Try command strips. The walls need art, and dont be afraid to go big and bold.
For the rack, there's tons of tutorials on youtube for cool industrial ones made of pipe if you want. But I find that 2 easy ways to improve the look of clothing storage when it's visible like that is matching hangers (I got mine at Ross) and organizing your clothes by color.
Also a headboard would be nice, but if it's not in the budget you could do a tapestry type of thing where you would put a headboard to ground the space. Again, society 6 has them.
Hope any of that helps :)
I love love love the space! It feels like creatives live there. I'm love with the whole industrial vibe. Tuesday morning is one of my go to's for decor and foodie delights. I would use command strips/ hooks for your artwork. I've seen some spaces where easels were easels were used to display prints or staggered along the wall to give an artsy feel.
Me a fresh 22 year old adult hearing $1630! 😫
I'm 29 and Mr. Hallease is 32. We started with NOTHING. You'll get there, give it time.
Lol. Did the same over a similar space in Seattle for $1,835/month. I'm 29 and want to fight ever first of the month. 🤦🏾♀️
Trina McGee you should move to Lynnwood it’s only 30 minutes north from Seattle my husband & I pay $1710 for two bedrooms with two bathrooms & w/d
@@fatimamanneh9432 :: 👀Oh wow! We're fairly new to town but Renton should be ashamed of these prices. Thanks for the heads up!!!
Fatima Manneh WHUT! I’m in Mill Creek and got 1 bedroom 625 sq ft for $1570. How did you find such a deal 😂
Random: I love your shoes 😂😂😂
Thanks they're Red Wing!
@@hallease 👍 thanks
"are we stopping the world from getting warmer...no...but we aren't using napkins. I'll count that as a win" story of my Life 😂
People can't say I didn't try, amen!
I love that your apartment actually looks like it is lived in.
Whoo lemme find a man who "enjoys cooking" lord knows I dont and cant
SundaeTea LOL me too girl. I follow a couple of chefs on Instagram .
SundaeTea What brother want a sister who can't cook? That's one of best things about being with a Black woman.
@@info8097 who said I wanted to be with a "brotha" the comment you just made is exactly why I dont want yall. Entitled bastards who think black women suppose to ba their momma. I meant what I said I cant cook so I want a man who can throw down in the kitchen. It's my preference 🤷🏽♀️
Info 809 Yeah take this L
Hallease, i feel like you have way less ads im comparism to others youtubers i watch. For 13´ content!!!
For a non patreon "producer" , i am okay with watching more ads to support your work.
Thank you! I just let RUclips put them where they think they'll work best, I also don't want to bombard you all with ads because I'm way more interested in growing in subscribers than focusing on Adsense right now.
@@hallease Then, you might consider hiding your subscribers count. It is said to help.
I love how open and streamlined your space looks, but still has a homey touch through your dispersal of knick knacks.
Maybe it's the "I've only been out of college a year" in me speaking, but I'm currently using command strips to hold up my picture frames and nobody's said anything yet so maybe try those to hang stuff on the concrete?
I'm in my late 30s and still use command strips. I need to get my deposit back, ok
luckygirl300 I’m waaaaaaay out of college lol and use command strips still (and we own our home) bc I like the ability to change and not patch holes lol they’re awesome
They work great. I recently moved and there was no damage to the paint and my pictures and mirror came off nicely 👌🏾
Command Strips are bomb. I own my home and I STILL use them
She could also use the folding screen panels suggested for the bedroom or some lattice designed into something and actually hang the paintings on to the lattice. There is enough space in there that that should look really nice as well. Larger paintings can sit on an easel. First time I've seen this channel so I really don't know what kind of artwork we are talkin about.
I didn't know you lived in SA! For some reason I thought you lived in Oregon lmao. I live in SA too - Alamo Heights area. My apartment is $975 for 750SF and I am a 10 minute drive from The Pearl/Riverwalk. A 2BR/2BA goes for $1675 in my complex. Cool to see other black creatives in SA!
In NY in a $1750 shoe box can’t relate 😭😭
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I love that you have family pictures around the house. You don’t see that often anymore
I just found your channel, I feel like I'm on season 3 episode 34 and I have no idea what's going on and need to watch previous episodes to figure out who the hell is Mr.Hallease.
Lolol my Mr. Hallease is my husband
OMGOODNESS that’s a couple of mortgage payments young queen. For that price you could really create a tiny house or container home. Congratulations on your new apartment peace and blessing.
I think you should do a house plant tour next. I recognized your ZZ and snake plants. I want to see more plant babies
Storage suggestions, all furniture needs to have a dual purpose. Think about getting a platform bed with storage. Living room, get a decorative screen to conceal your desk. I would suggest getting a console/writing desk and placing it opposite your dining table. That way it serves as a buffet table and desk. Get two ladder bookshelves for leaving room, place one on each side of your TV.
One-Six-Three-Zero...for ALL that space. *cries in Bay Area rent*
Loi Laing smh...maybe you’re low income. This isn’t about the Bay Area. It’s so annoying when someone feels as if they need to tell someone that where they live is more expensive. Get a life!
T D
That was rude. It’s not that deep...
😭😭😭😭😭 *me crying with you in spirit because the Bay Area prices hurt my soul*
T D so rude!!! DANG!!! It’s not that serious. That lady can say what she wants, eagor🤪
Loi Laing, I agree!
I just want to say when I lived in a nice 3 bedroom 2 bathroom in Waco, TX in 2017 my rent was $1090 a month. By the way it was 1250 sqft. God bless u sis!
Enjoyed the tour! Can't wait to see more videos in the new space!
I love your apartment, looks so warm and cozy. Also really like your glasses they look great on you, very pretty.
Thanks they're Ray-Ban
I live in texas..and i like big spaces and even rent homes as well...6 bed room house rents for about 1500...so...it just must be the area...
Where in Texas is a 6 bedroom house renting for that much? I'm only seeing 3 bed two bath for around that price where I'm at.
@@twillsol Houston..har.com or remington ranch....
Terelle W. Email me at dawndenegal@gmail.com..I'd you are serious..I will send you listings..
Designate an area for your plants. Place all of them in that area, creating a jungalow. Whatever doesn't fit, gift it. All of your pots should be the same or similar.
Love that you moved for windows; definitely a game changer! Congrats on making the space uniquely yourselves!
Windows make everything better
Command hooks for hanging stuff on walls, floating shelves for storage and above the desk,ikea for shelves and clothing racks /clothing storage systems, goodwill for a headboard you can paint it or cover it with quilting and fabric, add more wood type furniture/shelving for a warmer feel, steamer trunks are great as storage for blankets and extra pillows at the end of the bed( probably find one at a flea market or garage sale. Petsmart for a storage doggy bed or maybe an old toddler bed that has pull out drawers under it. You could probably fit a big flat dog mattress bed on it so its big but not too big doggo can stretch out. All doggy stuff can go in the drawers under. Hope that is of some use😊👍❤
suggestions:
1. Command strips for the pictures;
2. Decorative baskets for the entryway shelves for storage and the under the desk things; actually, it is the best way to storage any unwanted seen things around your house plus is visually pleasant; also good for plants (hit the thrift stores for cheap and unique pieces); Go for rattan/bamboo and other natural material such as cloth (good for bedroom) instead of plastic;
3. Don't get rid of your metal pots table but buy an extension -longer one to put side by side; the new one can help you with some storage and use baskets for those as well.
4. You can decorate more by getting beautiful plants. You have the apartment for it (good lighting);
5. Build your own rack using wood and metal pipes for the industrial vibe (Pinterest have plenty of inspiration); plus it is cheap;
6. Rugs to tone down the too industrial metal/concrete vibe for cosiness plus it helps you tovisually section each spaces better ;
7. Invest in good pillows ( boho styles are great as it brings a more eclectic feeling);
Wish you the best and happy 2020
That’s my mortgage for a four bedroom, three bathroom, 2000 square foot house in Southern Maryland. Wow. I thought the South was cheaper.
U are in the south. U are SOUTH of the masondixie line, arent u?
Gorgeous and genuinely the Hallease’s... awesome sauce!
Love your Redwing boots also🤗.
You had me at “hi.” New sun here for sure- loved the video
I’m in Austin, TX btw
Love your new space! It’s perfect for you and Mr.Hallease. I enjoy the aesthetics of many home tours but I’m more of a Knick knack patty wack type of girl too. By the way, I didn’t know Tuesday Morning was coming thru like that!! Great finds!
Yes, whenever I need some knock-off inspo I walk in there. Never underestimate the power of a good Ross, TJ Maxx, or Tuesday Mornings.
That apartment is awesome! Had no idea cost of living was so high in Texas though those are New york prices right there
Just depends what part of Texas
Man, we live near Seattle. Her rent looks like the prices here. Thought as long as you stayed away from Houston and Austin things were cheap...so disappointed. 😔
@@hunnerdayEDT don't be disappointed I live in Texas 2 bedroom apartment 1400 and when I had it a 1 bedroom it was 1200. My cousin lives nearby and her 1 bedroom is like 950. So there are options. Just depends where you live.
hunnerdayEDT
She’s right. Texas is *huge* you can find what you want at the right price. As long as there’s some type college nearby, there’s always new property or restored property. But there’s way too much land out here to not find or build exactly what you need.
Location location location. I live in the thick of downtown San Antonio, within walking distance or short Lyft/Uber ride to anything we'd want to do downtown -- and right near the River Walk. By comparison, I used to rent a 3bd/2bth house 20 minutes from Downtown for $1500/month that was almost 1400 square feet and had a massive yard.
This apartment is awesome. Love everything about it. Matching hangers will help with the rack. I use wooden ones from ikea since they are affordable. It makes everything look crisp even if the the clothes aren’t organized in any specific way.
Noted!
Great video and new place! What a lovely person!
This space is beautiful!
I just subbed. I love your voice and personality. You are very kind and authentic.
Such a beautiful space, love all the natural light. The concrete wall would look great with one of the Ikea wardrobe systems, customize to fit your gear and maybe some clothes 🤷🏾♀️
I’m a new subscriber and I truly enjoyed Your Great Vibes and Spirit....Keep up the GoodWork...!!!
I love your vlogs and biographies hope to visit Texas one day
Maybe instead of boxes and clear bins you can opt for the cute foldable cloth storage bins. It'll still be a box of junk, but a PRETTY box of junk lol . Especially for the area by the door.
Your apartment is gorgeous! It has so much natural light. It gives it such an airy, spacious ambiance. I love the industrial feel. I especially love all of your family and personal photos.
Photos everywhere! That's how we roll, thanks for watching!
I love the apartment and all of the natural light! I live in Texas too about 2 hours north of you.
I love the industrial look. Peel and stick tile on the wall could act as a feature wall/headboard. I would use baskets under the desk to keep things neat. Hooks are always an option for coats, leash, umbrella and other “near the door” things. I would maximize the vertical storage...go to Home Depot and tell them you want to hang things on concrete walls, they will show you everything you need. Concrete screws, heavy duty picture/panel hangers, drill, bits, etc. I would get two or three huge canvases and try some handmade art to hang on the long kitchen/dining wall. It would look great illuminated by all the light from the windows.
Keep keeping on! ✌🏾
Oh thank you! I like that home made art idea
Your background music is always nice with the perfect volume! BTW, your living area is very cozy.
I would go command hooks/strips on the walls for sure. As far as the rack, you can organize from long items in the back to short items in the front, color coding, like items together, or a combo of all three. Congrats on that massive window. The curtains are lovely. It provides a soft touch to a tough space.
You said "quarantine" in January!!! Triggered! Love your vlogs always!
The new space is great.
Your new place is nice! I like the cozy eclectic vibes. :) yes to a desk tour and perhaps how you organize your day to be productive- any tips?
I need to update it but: ruclips.net/video/i5CrEgiBRKY/видео.html
Great video! Use heavy duty command strips and hooks to hang your art. You can also use hardware hooks and wire to hang from ceiling and hang art. It will go great with the industrial feel. 🙂
Hello fellow Texas-tuber! I love the intro. You just came up in my recommendations. Lot of concrete everywhere, sounds like the downtown Dallas look.
I really enjoyed this it’s so nice too see something different that’s not (glam) I really like this 😍😍😍😍
Hahaha I love the opening. You are hilarious
Cant wait to dig into this a little later on today
Love the decor!
By the way I did subscribe you are like a breath of fresh air!
Love this space and the windows w/ the lighting !! Reminds me of Dtla
Thank you for sharing your awesome space! 🤗
Hey new to your channel and love your vibes first off !!! And second for your hanging pictures use command strips they are the best and leave no damage to the wall. Hope this helps. And your apartment is amazing 😉
🥰 this made me happy 😊
Wheew! $1630 is a TON to pay for an apartment in San Antonio , let alone most parts of Texas! I just bought a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home with just under 1900 sq feet and my payment is only $1717!
Ikea!!!! Storage shelves and cubbies!!! I read where someone else mentioned it as well. This can fill up that entire wall space and u can add books, plants, cubbies picture frames and more!
Beautiful!
For the concrete walls, you can run a string across and hang the frames or photos using clips.
Paused the video to say - for the odds and ends shelving, have you thought about using those really cute pull out cube boxes in coordinating colors? Walmart and Target stock some really nice ones. That way, no matter how disorganized it gets in there, once the cube is pushed back in place your entrance still looks nice and well put together. Love the plants BTW. Really nice touch.
Hi, beautiful lady.
This my very first time at your channel.
I have had an amazing experience
Your place is great.
I soooooooo happy for you.
Both of you.
Well, all three of you.
I wise all of ya'll much PEACE, LOVE, and SOUL.
Thank you for allowing me the honor of " visiting " your new and lovely home.
You can convert a old dresser into a island checkout Pintest...you can add butcher block on top and beadboard onto the back part of the dresser then legs to give it height
Cute. Love your personality and the way you express yourself. ☺️
Great apartment tour. Command strips for hanging not too heavy pictures or mirrors are great. We drilled into our cement walls, using mason drill bits (brick hooks work well too) in our last rental. We were charged $10 a pop for every hole. Management considered it "damage". Luckily we only hung 8 pictures and lost $80 from our security deposit. 🙄
Our office seems to be okay with it since there's so much concrete but I want to avoid it as much as possible. Thanks!
Shoes are so nice😍
Use command hooks to hang the paintings instead of drilling into the cement walls! There are a bunch of options with varying weight loads so you’ll definitely find something that works.
Ever think of doing an update video on your place? @hallease Chitown native here that spent summer vacays in SA n loved the River Walk. You are living in a great location!
I love the new space. It looks like a new and improved version of the old place. And I don’t have design ideas unfortunately.
Thank you! That's what I was going for
Omg I love your style!
Epic videoooo 💕💕💕
I love the new place and definitely agree with you on the lighting!
On another note, can you just spell out the brand name on those mugs? I really need something like that in my life lol
THE INTRO IS JUST 😍😍😍 can you please help me do that?!😂😂😂😅
I love your apartment!!
Your energy made me subscribe!🥰
Hey Hallease. I’m such a fan I actually watched the ads 🤣 anyway I loved the apartment tour and always curious about how the desk of another creative looks. Have you tried command strips on your concrete walls? Boxes in your under desk area might look good. Consider a wardrobe for your bedroom. Or a chest of drawers and a rack just for hanging stuff.
I watched to see your hair! Love it. Good video.
My husband and I and our new-born son lived in apt in Dallas when we first got married 2 bed/2 bath $1300 we found if we went further north we could lease a house 1500 sqft 3 bed/2bath for the same price. Apt.s are always more expensive. Even now 20 yrs later you can still lease a nice a house in North Dallas for $1500-$1700 a month. Leasing a home if your not ready to buy is definitely a better a deal.
I like your vibe!!! I'm subscribing!!!!!
Hey hun, your apt is very nice and it does have good light and feels airy. I came across your channel just as I was discussing with my fiance that I was stuck on an issue. You stated that you love cameras and filming so I am hopeful you can help me. Before my dad passed away he bought me a Canon EOS M100 I was so happy until I found out I could not add a mic and there is no remote control app for filming. I am new at all of this and dont want to spend a lot of money. What would you suggest I do. If I have to spend some money it will be okay but i really need things simple for a beginner. Thank you so much for sharing your space. Have a blessed New Year!
I love how different SA is. Depending on what side of town you are on depends on what apartments and prices are offered. Downtown is changing so much. I love the cement walls in your apartment.
Btw you can use 3m hangers for pics on the cement. It should stick as long as you clean the wall first
San Antonio has changed SOOO much it's crazy
Good looking out on the air plant! I had no idea these existed 🤯
I've seen people use them as decoration all of spaces. Love them!
You are too cute. I will be moving to a new apartment and it's really small. You have given me some ideas for my new "mod" apartment. I enjoyed watching.
House is beautiful
I paused your video after you were talking about hanging items on your cement wall so that I could look up the name of some "super" tape that is supposed to hold heavyweight items, it may be one of those "as seen on tv" products, but I couldn't find the name. I did, however, see lots of heavy-duty mounting tape solutions. Would those serve your needs? You wouldn't want to get an unessesary moveout fee from holes in the wall.
Wow. Who knew I'd be a stan 2 minutes into the video? I didn't.
Nice apt. try 3D wallpaper for the wall across from the kitchen. Easy to put up and take down when you move.
Where were sitting would be a nice place for shelving for plants & books.
Try Command hooks & picture hangers.
New Subbies alert.I live in SA as well (for 13 years), it's definitely the more artsy/hipster/creative types there as. I enjoy downtown area. If I see you at a bar on St. Mary's street, I will wave!☺️
I like the music in this one!
I love your place! 😘🙏🏽💖
I buy from Goodwill and I get awesome stuff. I'm wondering if they might have some kind of kitchen hutch that would be small. I've even restored stuff too. You're doing great. I'm 55 and that sure is high rent lol. May the Lord bless you sweet lady
awww shucks new intro music!!! thanks for sharing!
