Having watched Matt’s videos for years this feels like a more intimate insight, he opens with showing us how happy he is about his table with wheels. If that’s not Dad energy I don’t know what is. Matt if you see this, I hope you’re well!
I swear to God, that's what I thought for a while......or that based on his last video that they didn't survive the stress of new parenthood. So glad that is not the case. 🤣
Dope as hell, Matt. This feels so natural in terms of your youtube production and expanding on the old podcast and so on. Been watching you since waaay back, and can really say this update is just how I'd hoped to see your stuff develop from back then. Great work man, looking forward to the pod.
What a time to be alive, he has to justify explain every single move he made for his workplace which is free from screaming babies, i just feel guilty feeling in his voice which again its what the social pressures make us feel. Constant explaining of why he needs a quiet place! As if people who work in an office have their wives and kids around them 24/7 😂 its just a workplace and im sure if Nat wants to get away she can just go chill there as well
As someone who finally built an ikea bookshelf thats been sitting on my floor for the past three months, i'm impressed with how this came together in one week.
Go to a framing shop and get a 4x4 piece of museum glass. It’s super clear, anti-glare, frame glass that you can rest on top of the coffee grinder and you can still shoot the grinding without a lid. Just hold down the sides!
This is your workplace. It’s just like going to work everyday. You can’t really stay at your home, as your home is a place for your family. The previous set up made you stop working. And we are glad that you are back. You need to sustain the monetary value of your channel, which is for your family. This is where you do the best! I am a mom of 5, and I support your endeavors! Hugs to Nathalie for being so supportive likewise.
Being at home with two kids while my husband chills in his bachelor pad would be difficult. I won't lie. I'm glad Nats stronger than me, bc I couldn't do it. 😂
Loving this cosy and homely video to kick off 2025. This multi-purpose place/studio is SO cool👏And huge congrats on the exciting news!!💛 The sofa bed is brilliant. You can consider to add a bamboo mattress topper when family is visiting and then store it in a vacuum bag when not needed. It makes a huge difference in comfort. No idea why I felt the need to make this suggestion, haha but here you go 😅
I admire the foresight in knowing what is needed to maintain a healthy work life balance. Natalie will also appreciate a few hours shut eye in that bed!
DISCLAIMER: This is a long comment. “Your specific knowledge is the knowledge that you care about. It’s the knowledge that makes you excited. It’s the thing you do that others find hard, but you find easy.” ~Naval Ravikant When I first stumbled upon your channel a few years ago, I was struck by the aesthetic of your space. Whether you were in the States or Australia (I’ll set aside Airbnbs, as I don’t know how much control you had over those interiors), it was always spacious, simple, and inviting. Initially, I thought you were an interior designer by trade. But now I know you aren’t-though I must say, you have a natural flair for it. From your new home to this new studio, I’ve always been delighted by your attention to detail and your obsession with making a space both pleasing to the eye and functional. I think this sensibility has even influenced the aesthetic of your RUclips thumbnails and videos. Perhaps your wife is the one behind the decorating. Whoever it is, I hope you consider venturing into interior design outside of RUclips. You have a gift that isn’t given to many. Maybe THIS is the sign that 2025 brings you. 😉 ~From one dad to another Note: the only thing I wasn't fan of was the “dark room.”
I was genuinly a little worried at first that this was your new space because you and Nat didnt make it through all the challenges of being new parents. But then you said youre expecting another baby!! Congratulations!
Congratulations to both of you on your bun in the oven and your new creative space! How exciting! Great way to kick off the new year! The studio looks amazing! Super excited that you’re back! YAY!!! Keep it manageable and focus on family/ life/ work balance - one day at a time. You have a gift. Thank you for sharing it with the world. Best wishes for your family and continued success. :)
So good to see you and hear all of the things you’re up to. Pumped to get into the podcast. Your bonus content was so relatable. Thanks for your vulnerability. Dad of one with another on the way in a month! 😅 Your content is so inspiring and is making a difference. Well done, man.
as a fan of coffee myself, and after a recent trip to Italy, I've completely switched away from anything that isn't espresso. Curious when Matt will join the cult of espresso and ditch the childish pour over American coffee? Love ya Matt! :)
Have a separate office is very usefull because you can divide your private life with your work life, and not being stuck in a routine based essentially on your home.
I am so happy seeing you back here again! And you seem to be in a very good place rn. You’ve always been a huge inspiration and I wouldn’t be where I am rn without watching your content. Thank you very much Matt! I hope you’re reading this. Great to have you back mate 🫶🏻
Welcome back 🎉 And grats on the second child 🥳 I'm also in the dad game for two months now and I can somewhat relate that you only have a fraction of the time to get stuff done 🚀😂
Oh wow. Your kids are going to be close in age, and that is wonderful. My first two are 22 months apart but yours will be less, though that is fun too, even with some of its challenges. Congrats on your little bungalow area.
Congratulations on the new baby! I am following you for quite some time as I am a fan of minimalist living myself and I was curious to see how you handle this while also being a new parent. I am a father of two kids myself, and minimalism is not something you would think of when seeing our house just because I am alone in this style of living :)). My man cave however, or... studio is as simple as yours and it's the only thing that keeps me from going mental. :)) I am curious though how the rest of the house is during a normal day for you guys and if you ever get frustrated that you can't keep up with the cleaning process. I ocasionally find myself cleaning too much and relaxing too little which kind of defeats the purpose of minimalism.
This video makes me fell comfortable and that I appreciate the organization of your studio. I recently graduate from collage and I hope to get something similar one day c:
The big elephant in the room ! I need to ask the question. Where is from your into the wild art print in your podcast area !???!??? ( congrats for baby n°2 ♥️ )
I love the style video! you should do more on the small things in your life, like Your Wardrobe and do a video on how you keep your wardrobe neat and what kind of clothes you have.
Oh. Jess. Congratulations! And after your last video I recommend you to organise support! I felt a lot what you were talking about and I hoped you wait one or two years to the 2. one. We got the second 16 month ago and it is more than doubling. Sorry for this directness. It s just ❤. I couldn't imagine before. (It will be a lot of fun as well. )
Nice chill video. Pretty neat setup. I wish you kept the lighting from this camera for the podcast so that it looks like your guest is well-lit. But yeah, anyway, this seems like a pretty cool place.
Congrats on baby number 2. After your last video and the impact of a 10-month non-sleeper, I thought your son might be an only child. You've got this!
Us too. Been recovering since 10 months and in a much better position now.
Having watched Matt’s videos for years this feels like a more intimate insight, he opens with showing us how happy he is about his table with wheels. If that’s not Dad energy I don’t know what is. Matt if you see this, I hope you’re well!
...are we sure Natalie didn't just kick him out and this is him situating himself in his new place...? 😂❤❤
🤣
I swear to God, that's what I thought for a while......or that based on his last video that they didn't survive the stress of new parenthood. So glad that is not the case. 🤣
Always good to have a backup plan.... I mean a "creativity space"
hahahahah
Even though he has not stated as such, That is the vibe so far.
Dude just made a batchelor pad and called it his "creative studio"
Yooooo 🤫
Mat. The vibes, the productivity and creativity, the coffee. What a time to be alive, thank you for coming back!!!
Dope as hell, Matt. This feels so natural in terms of your youtube production and expanding on the old podcast and so on. Been watching you since waaay back, and can really say this update is just how I'd hoped to see your stuff develop from back then. Great work man, looking forward to the pod.
You've just lived hell with your first kid. I just can't believe you've decided to have a second one !!!! OMG

It’s great to seeing you creating again Matt!
Congrats on the second baby! I've been loving the Three Rules podcast, keep it up!
Your minimalism documentary changed my life, literally, in 2016 in Boston in the theater. Anyhow, love Australia and your new stuff!
Love the new space. But you need more plants :)
I have FOUR fake plants. I don't have time to take care of any more.
Bro missed 7:53 :D
Get snake plants they're hardy AF, you barely need to water them or even remember them and they last ages and look great!
This is your workplace. It’s just like going to work everyday. You can’t really stay at your home, as your home is a place for your family. The previous set up made you stop working.

Don’t burn yourself out. Don’t feel like you need to create for us. Take care.
Being at home with two kids while my husband chills in his bachelor pad would be difficult. I won't lie. I'm glad Nats stronger than me, bc I couldn't do it. 😂

"She Comes First" shout-out was wild but legit a good one. Seriously fellas. Get on it.
I admire the foresight in knowing what is needed to maintain a healthy work life balance. Natalie will also appreciate a few hours shut eye in that bed!
It's good to have you back. I'm an Italian Fan and I've been following you since the beginning. I like your studio and your contents! Good luck!!!
Love the space and wow to doing it in a week! I am happy you are back! ❤

Very nice space. Hoping your wife also gets a quiet, kid-free space to work on her own creative projects or just chill.
Love the energy in the new videos, even tho you might still be a little sleep deprived.
love to have you back, nice content
Have a separate office is very usefull because you can divide your private life with your work life, and not being stuck in a routine based essentially on your home.
Really happy for you mate - hope this baby will bring you and your family peace and prosper!🎉 Hope this one will sleep more too!
7:54 "All of the plants in this house are fake, because I just can't deal with more responsibility" 🤣 I feel this deeply.
Yeah, another one who appreciates INTO THE WILD 🎉
The Soundtracks are my daily drivers when things are bad for more than 10 years now.
I love the art 🐸
Love the new space, Matt! I Exciting to see that Sydney is your primary home now. Hoping to bump into you someday 🙌
Great setup, very wise to choose a 1 bedroom apartment to use for guests and business write offs ;)
Such a sick space! So stoked to see you so excited to create again too. Happy New Year dude!
Creators dream! Good to see you back and working hard on the videos!
I like the idea of having your own space to practice minimalism. Adding indoor and outdoor CCTV cameras could be a good idea -just a suggestion!
Congratulations, it is amazing 🎉
I am so happy seeing you back here again! And you seem to be in a very good place rn. You’ve always been a huge inspiration and I wouldn’t be where I am rn without watching your content. Thank you very much Matt!
I hope you’re reading this. Great to have you back mate 🫶🏻
Thanks for being back
Good to see you again Matt! I missed you! 🤙
Congrats on baby number 2. I hope you shoot some videos about sony cameras.
loving the new 3 rules podcast .
Thanks! :)
Absolutely love the space, I feel so chill now 🙏🏼
Great to have you back Matt 😘.
Fridge unboxing ASMR with a side of office tour, 10/10 :D
Welcome back 🎉
And grats on the second child 🥳
I'm also in the dad game for two months now and I can somewhat relate that you only have a fraction of the time to get stuff done 🚀😂
you could put a small plant pot in that thing next to the sink even tho its meant for soaps
The "UNBOXING of my FRIDGE"
Love it

Yay Matt! You’re back!!! 😊

Never Too Small x Matt D’Avella collab!❤
I love your studio, Matt
Minimalist and so beautiful
This video makes me fell comfortable and that I appreciate the organization of your studio. I recently graduate from collage and I hope to get something similar one day c:
Matt still one of the very few creators still using Canon 🥺
Is it weird that I saw the bonus video first? Anyways, loving the content as per usual Matt! 🎉
9:46 wow, great book. started instantly 🎉
I absolutely loooove this! So simple 🙌🏼
The big elephant in the room ! I need to ask the question. Where is from your into the wild art print in your podcast area !???!??? ( congrats for baby n°2 ♥️ )
I love the style video! you should do more on the small things in your life, like Your Wardrobe and do a video on how you keep your wardrobe neat and what kind of clothes you have.
It's funny because right when I saw the first frame of the bathroom I was like "I freaking love that frog picture" 😂
Omg 😀 Congrats on baby #2! I know the feeling b/c I had mine 21 months apart. You got this!! 👍🏽
Oh. Jess. Congratulations! And after your last video I recommend you to organise support! I felt a lot what you were talking about and I hoped you wait one or two years to the 2. one. We got the second 16 month ago and it is more than doubling. Sorry for this directness. It s just ❤. I couldn't imagine before. (It will be a lot of fun as well. )
Just got news on my new one.. it'll be 19 years between my eldest 🤯

Great space!
Congrats on the growing family.

It looks so good, amazing work!
He’s back 🥹🥹
7:44 that shelf is to hold a framed picture of The Rock.

Nice chill video. Pretty neat setup. I wish you kept the lighting from this camera for the podcast so that it looks like your guest is well-lit. But yeah, anyway, this seems like a pretty cool place.
Oh hellz yeah. This is the Matt I've missed.
What an absolutely beautiful apartment. I'd love to live in it.
The bio pf the channel is hilarious. That made my day 😅
Way better, bro. 🙏 Expecting lots of awesome content.
