Ok but considering how many people had to move back home or downsize apartments during covid this video is really awesome and shows the potential people can have to really design their spaces
Came here to say this!!!!! It looks great!
I got divorced and my teens didn’t want to share a room in our apartment so I made a makeshift bedroom in the dinning room. I tried making curtain walls but it was expensive and awkward. I love what she’s done!!
@@blank3115 I recommend flat sheets from Walmart or using drop cloths to make makeshift curtains on a budget.
tell me why i got emotional for kalel seeing her finally come on camera AND with a missing tooth lol. i feel like you’ve come so far in tackling your filming anxiety you’ve talked about recently. so SO thrilled you uploaded!! ❤️
thank you!! to be honest, i had a small panic attack filming the intro... but i'm pushing myself. i know the more i do it, the easier it will become
@@KalelSumisu you got this!! ✨
That‘s what I thought!! Feel like a proud parent 😃
It kinda looks cute tho. Like a young teen who hasnt gotten their adult tooth yet 😄
@@KalelSumisu we love u queen
Not this basement being nicer than my actual apartment🤫 You really have a gift for design girl
Liked this because I'm uncomfortable with the triple 6 and also she does have an eye for design and aesthetics
Don’t feel like you need to buy clothes. I think having a minimal wardrobe is really a blessing. It’s great what you have done with the basement.
I didn't have much clothes growing up so now I buy too much clothes... like I can't stop buying clothes . I also buy alot for my 2 yr old. It's a horrible problem 😩
I would like to start being minimalistic when it comes to clothes and shoes. Or atleast try
this is beyond impressive, this is raw talent
thank you, lexie! 💖
@@KalelSumisu oh I’m always supporting your journey
Agreed! I'm amazed. She has a talent, she should try to get some training as an interior designer

Kalel, you should be so incredibly proud of what you’ve done to make this space YOURS! It looks incredible and inspires me on every level! It doesn’t matter if it’s a luxury apartment or your parents basement that you’re living in, none of it takes away from the fact that YOU are so talented, creative, and determined! Thank you for sharing this with us, everything about it is gorgeous!!!!
You’re too kind!! Thank you so much for the love 🥺🥰
Awh I love this comment. I whole heartedly agree
Preach! That's my sister y'all *I know her* lol Kalel always makes her living situations a true vibe! 👏
Girl I’ve been watching your videos for like 10 years. I never comment but I just wanted to say how proud this video made me? You just made a video missing a damn tooth and in your parents basement… like…. Old kalel would NEVER. Life is wild and takes us to some weird places and it’s amazing to see you smiling and still sharing your life with us. I found your first videos (queenbeeuty days) when I was 20 years old and GOING THROUGH IT with my depression and agoraphobia and your videos made me feel less alone. I’ve always kept up with your videos and followed you all these years and whenever you make a video it just feels like an old friend is catching up with me. I wish you all the best!
Thank you so much for the love & support. Reading your comment warmed my heart & made me smile. I'm happy to hear that my content somehow added value to your life
Right! She is being 100% real. I'll be honest I dont think I could be that real in front of an audience. She had so much before. Her beautiful home with Anthony. They were millionaires. She could of had that life. Even her past few apartments and decor was pricey. And now to see her in her parents basement and straight up owning it is so vulnerable. We all need to get humble to build ourselves up. Definitely like catching up with an old friend. Also makes me appreciate what I have cuz it could all change.
I have been watching Kalel since the beginning too!!! 💜💜💜
@@theresag.4188 Yup! Save your $ and live below your means. I got so lucky during covid because my husband and I saved the prior years before. Some months we wouldn't have made it without a savings.
This just made me cry 😢 because it’s true. You nailed this comment 💖💖
Maybe you should go back to school to be an interior designer or interior decorator-you've got a knack for it!
Great idea
She went to school for it years ago, though I agree with you she has a real skill
@@Chuloon really did not know that!
She doesn’t need to go to school for that..she’s talented. You don’t need a teacher to be creative
@@edithlove5085 That's true. To me, design school can very exciting. Also, it helps build confidence through the constant feedback and formal critiques. I went to design school twice and it was an amazing platform for exploring ideas and getting comfortable working with clients. It also activated a career networking in the area and built credibility. Some design disciplines required degrees to get certified or licensed (not all but some). If she doesn't go back to school, I hope Kalel has the confidence to try out a career in design. She thinks exactly like a designer in my opinion!
Kalel is textbook example of a nice person getting sucked in into the influencer, shallow LA environment, struggling for years, go into several transformation, to to going back home. I hope she gets the love and compassion she deserves from her family and she moves forward into her healing progress.
Whoaaaa!!!! What a beautiful space!! You’re so creative 😍😍😍
Judy!! Hi! Thank you! 🥰😘
this is legitimately the chic-est the midwest has ever looked. you've put my animal crossing interior design to shame.
This is such an inspiration for people who don't have a massive budget to create their space. You did magic with $1000! Your creativeness never ceases to amaze me.
this is the most beautiful parents' basement apartment i've ever seen lol
No but this is actually so much more impressive than if you’d been redesigning an expensive apartment? It’s so incredibly inspiring
remember kids, its not about what you have… its what you do with it.
Only Kalel could make an unfinished basement look THAT cute. Girl how did you not go into interior design?
I’ve always thought the same thing!
Can I just say how nice it is to be able to actually relate to a youtuber? 😩 Usually when a youtuber shows us their living space, it's in an expensive apartment or house that most of us will never be able to afford, and while I also like seeing that stuff sometimes, it also kinda makes me feel like shit about being poor. So thankyou for showing us what you did with the space available to you financially!
You do know that she did live in those type of places in her past. Huge home, expensive high rise apts. etc. Changing her furniture on a whim. Expensive clothes, a very lavish lifestyle for quite a few years. This is quite different for her.
Super impressed! Wow. When things turn around for you, you’re going to look back on these times with some fondness, I think. You’ll think of the extra time you got to spend with your parents and how they were there for you in a time of such need. You’ll remember building furniture with your dad. You’re going through something but you’re going to recover, and you’re going to be so grateful for all the good things that I’m confident are coming your way.
Next level creative interior design, home organisation, Pilates (low-impact and hormone balancing movement), language learning, Korean cooking...not to mention overcoming personal fears and making the best of everything...damn, I'm so inspired by this woman!! Thank you so much for this video Kalel. As someone who's been living in a foreign country for the past couple years, the frustration of language barriers has slowly become smaller as I've increased my fluency. However, seeing you slowly but persistently acquire Korean while not even living in Korea is just...so inspiring. I really hope you can go to Korea another day when it's good to do so. All the best to you and God bless you
I specifically remember a bedroom of yours that had the most cozy vibes filled with bookshelves and warm lighting . It still inspires me to this day. You absolutely have an eye for design. This is amazing! Making basements chic since 2021
Thank you for normalization going through hard times but still making it work! We all have our ups and downs and it’s refreshing seeing a successful RUclipsr just live a normal life that so many of us live.
Wait your apartment is amazing, you’re honestly so talented with interior design like that’s crazy your room is in a basement! Like your house looks like a small apartment I could live in.
This is so creative! I’d rather watch this than most of the RUclips house tours. Be proud!
ahaha, thank you for the love 🥰
@@KalelSumisu no problem. We all could use a little
This must’ve been quite vulnerable and I’m proud of you for making a video, especially with the tooth! (You still look stunning) Your viewers are still here and the place looks amazing, especially with the budget challenge- like a showroom!
Kalel, just wanted to tell you how amazing I think you are. I've been watching you for years and years, and when you disappear there is always something missing. You are such a cool person, you're so self-ironic, so down to earth, so honest, funny, classy. I would literally watch you review like the most boring thing, because I know you would make it fun with your personality. Excited to see what you will share with us next. And thank you for being so open about what is going on in your life. Love you!
Thank you so much for all the lovely compliments!! You’re going to make me cry! 🥺😘
Booki's meow added 20 years onto my life~
it baffles me how you literally turn every situation into a dream... definitely pulling inspiration from you--per usual
you’re so kind, thank you for the sweetest compliment 🥺🥰
Me, with my whole ass apartment, vigorously taking notes over your basement setup. This is gorgeous! I love the makeup vanity idea, and thank you for explaining how you made it happen. I love the idea of doing my makeup on the floor.
always liked you but now you're actually relatable. of course i hope you can get your life back to what you want it to be soon, but meanwhile, girl is making the best of it and we're here for it.
Kalel: I moved into my parents basement
Also Kalel: *builds an absolute palace out of ikea stuff*
NO LITERALLY
I’m sooo impressed with her!!!
Kalel you need to start a tik tok. If you posted your apartment tour on tik tok (and marketed it as your parents basement on a budget) then you’d get a LOT of views from the Gen Z crowd. Next time film yourself and your dad building and decorating the place tho so you can do a time lapse.
I think TikTok or a podcast would be perfect for her!
Galey Alix vibes!
Tiktok comments are super awful though. She’d probably get a lot of hate doing nothing :/
@@Rooooxy Honestly kalel is pretty and as long as she doesn’t post cringe content she’ll be fine. She can also delete the negative comments anyway
Yes and she could join the creator fund!!!
Girl you could be an interior designer!!!! All of it is soo nice 💜
I agree! Kalel has always been a master of design. No matter what theme she creates, every detail is spot on. It's incredible how she was able to turn an ordinary basement into a luxury living space.
She did go to design school a long time ago not sure what happened with that
She only took a couple of classes and then quit design school
@@janicew3875 maybe the classes were things she already knew lmao
I am beyond impressed with everything from the linen walls to the usage of FISHING LINE for hanging up frames. Plus the design is super cute !! I love it😭😂
thank youuu ❤️
@@KalelSumisu you’re so welcome babe I’m so happy you saw my comment ! I’ve been subscribed since you had blue hair 🥲💗💗
Kalel needs to design micro apartments!! She really made use out of every possible square inch of that space!
Or a tiny house! She could totally build a tiny house next. Like I can picture it in my head. All minimalist and modern w/ lots of plants. :-)
You've truly outdone yourself! Its beautiful in there and as an introvert who craves independence, seeing the lil kitchen makes me feel a sense of security and happiness! How fun! What a cool place to just kick it and take care of yourself! You also look as beautiful as ever, so please don't worry about any of that stuff. I'm happy you are following your heart, Kalel. I hope you are doing better and you are happy. ❤❤❤
I was skeptical with the premise at first but…you went off with this! Kudos.
I’m a single mom that got evicted and is now living in my god parents basement with my daughter. This is all part of the process of gods plan to an amazing life. Keep moving forward, you’re on the track to success.
This is actually the most metal thing I’ve ever seen and I want you to design my new house
Metal hahaha it’s amazing right?!
ahahaha, done!!! let's do it!
@@KalelSumisu omggg please do a make over series!! 🧐
Metal? Come onnnnnn
metal?? lmfao no
I have watched you from the beginning. ❤️ this has been by far one of my favorite videos into your life. Thank you for being vulnerable. I think the whole set up is awesome!
thank you!! ❤️
I’m so proud of you Kalel! This is the happiest I’ve ever seen you (been following since 2012) and it’s beautiful. Sending love
I am LIVING for this Missouri, down-to-Earth, DIY Kalel! 🙌♥️
💯
you did a fantastic job, you should do videos about decorating/home building on a budget. I would 100% watch that if it meant I didn't have to spend thousands more than I had to
Kalel you are quite resourceful! I'm always amazed at how you can transform a space into something so cozy and beautiful 😊 looking forward to the beauty content! 💖
Seriously I am a long time watcher of your content and sometimes struggles. This is my favorite video out of everything you have done. No boujie things. Just Kalel! So good and honest the decor was excellent and done on a realistic budget. Thank you 🙏🏻
Not gonna lie, your setup for your apartment is far beyond amazing. Love how organized it looks.
everyone agrees that this is a masterpiece. i'm literally crying over how beautiful this is
It's unbelievable
You go Kalel. Imagine even paying rent in California for a similar decorated place? Through the roof! Actually it's more common these days for multi generations of family members to be living together than ever before due to everything that is going on. You have created in incredible space. :)
Multi generational homes are pretty common in Europe. It's literally abnormal to me to see people talking about it in a "negative" way. It's like frowning upon breathing or existing or something.
Multi generational homes is what's about! I'm married now so I moved but if I wasn't married id be with my parents my whole single life. Love spending time with them. Me and my mom have so many crafts projects together.
@@kettyca666 Exactly. The French side of my family lives somewhat multi-generational. It's embracing family and supporting one another rather than going off alone simply to prove a societal expectation of individual success. Granted not everyone has the luxury of a supportive family.
@@kettyca666 Agreed. I felt ashamed for the first couple years after college, but I realized it wasn't my belief but societies. My parent's are older, had me late. After 2020, never been more grateful to live with my parents and be able to take care of them during everything. Time with them is precious
KALEL!!!!! WTF!!?!. This came out AMAZING! Could this be your calling? Your level of design skill and organization is something that is out of this world and is very sought after. You could help people do this to their own spaces. Think about it. You are so talented!
thank you so much for the lovely compliments ❤️
@@KalelSumisu And also you don’t need to do the the typical interior design career as in working directly with people, you can do it online, just giving people ideas on how to design their own space, ideas on pieces to buy etc. Minimise that human contact lol
@@blala585 For real! Personal organizer too!
I feel like only you could make an unfinished basement look so inviting, cosy, aesthetic and aspirational Kalel!
You have lived in a lot of really nice apartments but this is somehow my absolute favorite!
Imagine if Kalel started room makeover series I think I would actually die
The ending LOL “If you noticed this spot, I promise I do not shit the bed.”😂😂😂😂😂
You have such a gift for making literally any space cozy. So happy to see you back
I have so much respect for you Kalel for so so many reasons !
Well I definely came to the conclusion that luxury apartments and a seemingly glamorous life style don’t define us. What is amazing is that Your light still shines through regardless of the financial situation you may be in. This goes for all of us ❤️ You Kalel
I also live in my parents basement and I'm 26 with my 4 year old. You did a awesome job! This made me happy that I'm not alone with where I am in life. I'm happy to see you making videos again. We're going to be okay 😊❤
I'm always impressed by how Kalel styles her living spaces. So creative.
You are absolutely the most relatable person on this platform!
Been here for the last 10 years and I've loved watching you grow and find yourself again. Your laugh is still one of the sweetest things ever. And the babies have gotten so big. I'm proud of where you've ended up ❤
This is honestly incredible what you've created out of nothing.
Why is this tour the best thing ever and one of my favourite spaces you have had
Girl, you need to become an interior designer. This looks great!!
Maybe thats your new path.
that's what i was thinking too
Kalel tell your dad he needs a DIY/build-it-yourself youtube channel, he seems insanely talented just like you!
I love how much you embrace this situation and make it as best as possible! Your design and budgeting skills on this are sooooo good. I will definitely be using some of these ideas. Including doing makeup sitting down!
DO NOT! Touch/Change the ceiling - it is perfect! You really should be proud of yourself for creating such a beautiful and cozy living space in *a basement* for yourself on a limited budget. I know I would enjoy a creative project like this myself (I studied architecture but don’t work in the field). Looking forward to more videos - whether black-screen or with visuals added. Much love to you 💗
This made me get up and clean my house. Your living spaces always inspire me!
Lmao I organized my room while watching this video too
MAJOR inspiration from Kalel
The headboard and end tables is such a brilliant design, I am so in love with that!
This is legitimately the highlight of my week. I’ve had trouble enjoying things recently, but this FaceTime (as someone in the comments said) was truly refreshing. You really have a knack for design/ making a space look really nice. Love the creativity, love your brain.
I was very close to moving back in with my mom (depression)
This is more relatable than you realize.
RUclipsr love showing off their lavish life, but a majority of RUclips consumers do not relate to that lifestyle.
You’re wonderful.💞
I also furnished my entire apartment through facebook marketplace and goodwill. etsy. amazon.
Absolute pinnacle of making lemonade out of lemons. This is beautiful and totally made me realize I could live in a studio apartment
I really enjoyed the video! It felt like a friend showing her basement. And i love how you can laugh off the missing tooth! I literally didn't notice until you pointed it out
You could make a career out of designing, Kalel. Stunning!
Kalel, your interior design looks amazing as always. In all the years that I have watched your channel, it is something I have enjoyed, looked forward to and took inspiration from your videos. You truly have a unique sense of style which I absolutely adore. I love love love what you have done 💕 I swear you should be an interior designer!
I LOVE what you did with your space! You're so talented. The kitchenette and vanity setup is my favorite part. The ceiling is definitely giving me that industrial feel which looks great with the modern theme you have going. As a fellow vampire I'm so inspired from your creativity and hope to have a cozy dungeon of my own in the future.
I’m so proud of you, Kalel. Like most of the people commenting, I’ve been following you since the queenbeeuty days! I feel like you’ve grown so much and I honestly think this is the happiest I’ve ever seen you. This video seems so real and genuine, like you’re being your real self. It doesn’t feel forced or uneasy like I feel a lot of your videos were in the past. I always felt you being in Cali was what was making you so unhappy and almost isolated from the world. I wish you nothing but the absolute best and can’t wait to see more videos! You’re absolutely thriving and I’m glad you’re back! 💛
Ngl, I love how this turned out. You made a dark, dank basement into a livable "apartment" while still managing to live under your parent's roof. There's still a sense of independence. Would kind of like to do something like this. Simple yet works out nicely
the girl who always motivates me to clean and organize my room
You have such a knack for interior design! The whole vibe is so cozy and cute 😍
thank you for the love 😘
Kalel make a twitch and just do random things 😂 you’re actually naturally fun to watch or listen to tbh. No need to stress on thinking abt content just you talking is entertaining trustt 🙌
I agree!!!
Kalel, I love what you did to the basement!! you really have a gift for design!!
and I also wanna say that I love how real this is, life is not always as you want it to be but to make the best of the situation is really what you can do.
Love that you're back on youtube!
But fr this is absolutely beautiful and actually cozy. Girl you’re giving me some inspiration cuz you really don’t need a lot to make a place feel yours.
Knowing your knack for design my expectations were already high but this blew me away!! 🙀
Super excited for the cooking/what I eat in a day content. Also please make hair products a part of your beauty content - hair care is a struggle for me and we have a similar texture!
Thank you for being real with us and sharing your life! ❤️
Love you Kalel, I said it once and gonna say it again: please start a podcast. Also I feel like u would be a great interior designer
OMG it would be awesome if she called it "Parent's basement" and it was about rebuilding yourself.
@@aidasa3791 guess you're right, should've said more podcasts then. Just would like to hear her talk more about her favourite books, movies/shows or things that inspire her and really digging into it why she loves it. Or maybe how her day went, how to improve your mental health or studying tips to learn Korean/any other language. Just her thoughts on random things. Or maybe interviewing people that she looks up to/ talking about them. But yeah most stuff she already does like u said
Kalel you were always my queen, but THIS(!!) made me love you even more. You are talented and beautiful and resourceful and funny and real- it has been a blessing to have you as an internet friend these past years and I'm so happy you're back 💙
Simple is honestly everything rn I love this
Dude that vanity is the CRAFTIEST thing I've ever seen. I'm totally gonna replicate that at home!!!
It literally looks like a room out of the IKEA show room. I love it. You did an amazing job 💗💗💗
Loveeee how the basement turned out!!!
This room ticks of all my boxes. I love that it was made 1000% by you and your dad. Nice work!
ever since i was 12 i knew why i liked you, you keep it real, you are engaging to a specific audience and you do it so well. I’m now 21 and have so much pride for you. Keep doing you.
Me and my ass thinking it’s a basement, what Could she have possibly done to it that it’s worth a tour? This girl literally built an apartment out of curtains 😂 I was in Schock how good it looks and how it’s actually worth a tour ! What an Ambiente !!
I love the vibe too!
I loved the “I don’t shit on bed” ending anecdote. 😂😂 Perfection! ✨
Thanks for watching until the very end! 😉🥰
Many times, not being perfect is perfection too! 😎 I'm glad for her trying to let go perfectionism and being more spontaneous. I'm a perfectionist as well and It's a pain in the ass!
@@KalelSumisu there’s always a bonus scene after the credits 😉
I have to move back into my brothers basement at the end of this month because I couldn't find a new apartment, this gave me so much hope and inspiration.
This is genuinely so lovely. I did something like this in high school in my parent's attic, but this is on a whole new level. Thank you for sharing and showing you don't need to spend thousands of dollars to make a space beautiful!
U're not just a designer U're also good at organising!! All ur things are so neat!! I like seeing Buki appearing too. So cute!! 😊🤗
I’m currently redoing my unfinished basement as a movie / exercise room. This video gave me so much inspiration. I remember watching the tented apartment tour! As an interior designer I am so impressed by what you have done here!!
Ah! Thanks so much!! ❤️
@@KalelSumisu hi! Having followed yr journey for years I'm not surprised by the interior magic you perform in each of yr properties! You have serious talent ❤ I agree with others that you should start an interior account, or content on IG and TTok, especially as IG are really pushing Reels and IGTV at the moment. Side-note re mental health - please invest in a SAD lamp, SAD lamps simulate sunlight, which helps trigger the brain to release serotonin. Normally used in the darker seasons when you are not getting as much natural sunlight which can lead to depression, but for those in apartments without windows, or like myself who are often confined to bed it is an all year essential. Also 'up' your vitamin D dose too. I really advise both, especially as you have been affected by depression so deeply. Your lamp will help yr furbabies too 🐱🌞☀️🐱 Last tip - have a look at camper van life/conversion vids on RUclips there are some really beautiful and creative minimalist makeovers that could give you ideas for a sink and running water. Looking forward to yr makeup vids again! 😍😘🥰xxx
I just love you 🤍🤍🤍 your ability to make anything you touch a work of art is so special
awwww! thank you, morgan 🥺 miss you!! 😘
This is ACTUALLY pretty impressive interior design, imo! Thank you for posting this!👏🏾
If you want to cover up the box spring you could buy a fitted sheet and put it on the box spring. Ive always had my bed on the floor (on a box spring) and thats the way i do its a suuuuuper easy fix and looks pretty modern.
I actually never even meant to do it to cover the box spring but i did it because when i had a bed that was on a metal frame i had kittens and they would climb up into the box spring and tear the bottom of it. So i put the fitted sheet upside down on it to cover the bottom. But now that my bed is on the floor (incidentally also to keep the cats from going under my bed 😂) i keep the fitted sheet on it and it makes it look much better and its super cheap to just buy whatever color fitted sheet you want!
Also, im so wowed at how amazing your basement looks. I have an unfinished basement and its seriously an overwhelming thing to just see all the framing and concrete and to even figure out where to start! Though i suppose necessity is the mother of invention haha and if you wanted a place to live then you gotta do what you do and damn girl you really DID THAT!
KALEL! I’ve been watching you since I was barely in high school. Around the same time I began to experience my first troubles with mental health you began to share your mental health journey. I found it so comforting knowing someone who I looked up to and felt had everything I wish I had in the moment, was also going through the similar experiences internally. I now find myself 24, moving back in with my mom for very similar reasons and here you are again: providing comfort. Thank you for your vulnerability 🤍 keep shining your light
