As a long term traveler, seeing how happy having your own place made me tear up. That sense of finding and creating a home is usually a fleeting endeavor for folks that are constantly on the move. Couldn't be more happy to see how happy this is making you. It's also helping me make some personal decisions regarding my future. Appreciate you, Nathaniel. Cheers man!
I speak Dutch, and when I read your comment the part in which he talks about the lights had just passed, but I actually had to rewind to really understand/hear it! :D
This home, not just apartment, but this home that you have created is beyond words. Watching this tour and seeing someone who for most of his adult life has been nomadic share with beaming joy and pride this space they envisioned brought to life, a place they can claim for an indefinite amount of time to be theirs, to put roots...it moved me deeply. I have moved around a lot in my life and i yearn so deeply to be able to create a place like the one you have generously shared with your viewers, somewhere where i can put things up on the walls (i've lived 3 years in my place and i have a poster taped to the wall) specially a (GORGEOUS btw) empty frame and take the time to find the right art piece for it, it is all i dream of. And while the finished product is beautiful, i also know that it didn't happen overnight for you - not the renovation, not the purchase and least of all the finding a city/country to call home - and so this video also left me with the kind reminder to myself that things take time to build and I shouldn't be hard on myself because i yearn for that but don't yet have it. Instead i am taking away the reignited vision that this is a goal of mine and to recommit to make the changes and put in the work to build towards this, little by little. So this is my long winded way of saying thank you for sharing and posting on YT. While it may appear to be a simple apartment tour video, your ever-present philosophical narrative and thoughtfulness in word choices that question the viewer to contemplate and look inwards, inspired in me this reflection for the sense of home that i also yearn to create in my life. Merci Nathaniel !
@@nathanieldrew I'm honored you read and replied! also - como fue la experiencia de ver la final de argentina v francia en parís?? Soy argentina (raised in the US), y tuve la inmensa suerte de estar en Buenos Aires para la final con mi familia, pero no me puedo imaginar como fue vivirlo en Paris! Pudieron celebrar bien o estaban muy enojados los franceses! Única también la experiencia de vivir ese momento tan histórico como Argentinos (o hijos de) en el país contra quien jugamos.
You and your family managed to pack so much coziness and charm into the space and still have it be extremely functional. It really is inspiring. Congratulations on a job beautifully done.
for the empty frame: you can dry little seasonal plants, a snowdrop in spring, colorful leaves in autumn etc and just use tape to put them into the frame. A bit like a season table (if you are familiar to that). Once you want a change or the season is over you can use the dried flowers etc for journaling
Your home is not large but so thoughtfully laid out, it's super impressive. One can tell you haven't just thrown things together just to get it completed.... as evidenced by the empty, gorgeous picture frame! Anyone would be blessed to be able to spend a night in that guest room. May only good things come your way, your family is incredibly artistic and I feel blessed to have found your and your parent's videos.
Your mother is an absolute legend. I love her energy so much. The apartment has turned out so nicely. It's gorgeous. Excited for the podcast. Your journey and your parents' current journey of leaving North America to find a happier better quality of life is so inspiring.
I love how a cool dude like Nathaniel can make having a cup of coffee at home,made by yourself,in your kitchen,seem like the coolest thing ever. Eat your heart out (as they say in USA movies),coffee shops of Paris,the multitudes of them!
Nathaniel you are an INSPIRATION!!! I lost my job right before the pandemic. Since then, I’ve started a RUclips Channel on Money…and it is GROWING! Thanks for all of your great content, and to everyone else…NEVER GIVE UP!!!
I love your authenticity, vulnerability, bravery, and artistic commitment in everything that you do. Your work has made a huge difference for many of us over these past few years, so, on behalf of the entire Internet, thank you!
I'm having trouble believing it's already been a year since you bought this apartment. I am honestly so proud of this transformation of your home; I've longed to see a home tour of yours for so long.
there is truly nothing like the joy someone has from being settled into their dream space. this is so beautiful nathaniel, i am so happy to see you so happy!
Wow-as an artist & an interiior designer, what a beautiful space on every level. the thing I like the best about your space is that after seeing it I feel as if I know you a little better. This is a very personal design statement, not something lifted from AD or any other shelter publication. Not something you turned over to a professional designer to do with intructions to make it look good. It is clearly personally curated by you on every level. Your space feels safe (you are trustworthy); there is a sense of priviledge to being invited to visit (but not for too long as you cherish your privacy & enjoy your own company); there is a physical relationship between your physical appearance & the physical visuals of the space (like your collection of mirrors that reflect you back to yourself).Thank you.
The most beautiful and chaotic apartment tour I’ve ever been given and I loved every second! You have created a stunning and deeply meaningful oasis for yourself and your loved ones.
I was smiling throughout the whole video because of how happy you were. And I don't even know you personally, how crazy the internet is!!! so happy for you!
Love, love this video! What a transformation, my goodness. I remember walking in there when it was barely a shell. Look what your drive and determination have produced: an incredible home you can truly call your own, where much love will be shared and many memories made. At long last! Another incredible video, this time highlighting your boundless energy, your sense of humor, and your passion for all things artistic. Congrats! Love you so much. 😁❤️
I cannot express how beautiful this place is, and the warm, loving feeling it sends, even through the barrier of a video. I think it might be a physical impersonation of your heart. Congratulations on finishing the whole renovation process! ❤️
Knowing how it is to have moved around more often than the years I’ve lived, it’s so nice to see you enjoy your space and take pride in what it is! Every detail was intentional in a way that is functional (for you) and equally as beautiful and pleasing. Travel has its pros but nothing nurtures your soul as much as being able to take your time and live in a place you feel grounded, like a home. Enjoy and savor it, and I can’t wait to see what creativity it is going to inspire.
You have really improved your home with a lot of good taste and made it look more homely and more in keeping with the time it was probably built. It looks so cosy, well done.
I love how people have been watching your channel to live vicariously through you to share in your adventures, and now your revelations of simple life things (like making coffee at home and having permanent drawer storage) are what your viewers have been experiencing all along lol
I’ve watched this video 3 times already and can’t get enough! I love every aspect of how you’ve transformed this space! You are so talented. I look forward to your podcast too because I will be an avid follower! Thank you so much for sharing!
Its such a beautiful, classic space. Tbh I’m slightly, but happily surprised that someone your age has such a refined aesthetic. Mature. I don’t think my sons are at this level (love them to bits but refined decor is not their forte) Congratulations on your beautiful and inviting home. Your hard work was worth it ❤
Through the screen, I can feel the radience, warmth and calmness of your appartment. This vibe is what I aspire to have when I get my own little place in the future. Thank you so much for sharing this process with us! ❤
WOW … Beautiful ❤ The fact that you frames the picture of the book shelf means it’s by no means lost on you the visual metaphor. As you described it I realised what many miss which is during the hard times, unbeknown to us, there is always light leaking into the negative … ❤
What I love the most about this tour is that your apartament is such a good example of who you are - it pictures your so well! Also, there are no TVs. How smart of you.
Hi Nathaniel 👋, I hope 2023 has been off to a great start for you and your family! I still remember watching the video of you buying your apartment, and it’s amazing to see its transformation as well as the journey you went through. I’m so happy for you, Nathaniel! Sending you lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤗
I am almost without words, Nathaniel! Your delight in your finished home is well-deserved. It's no mean feat to transform a flat like this into such a tasteful home. Your parents must be so very proud of you - because I only know you via your videos here and I am! I hope you enjoy it for years to come. Like everyone else probably says too, I love your parents. You are a very lucky (and talented) human being.
Beautiful apartment and is wonderful how the places we visited, people we meet, moments, feelings, all in some way stays with us in different ways. This apartment is a representation of who you are and what you want to be. Thanks for sharing your process 🙌🏻
Seeing the genuine joy you take in every aspect of this place is heartwarming enough to bring a smile to a total stranger’s face. Which rhymed, I see. Congratulations, Nathaniel. I’m proud of you.
Using "gezellig" to describe part of the apartment and then proceeding to bring up the Netherlands loss to Argentina is a cruel but hilarious combo here
I absolutely love that space you call home. It is filled with so much beautiful and love and dreams and mood and adventure and hope and everything else ... I have watched this video several times...and came back to it months later ..
Your home is lovely! Thanks for the tour. I'm so glad that the yt algorithm lead me to you. I'm a more recent follower, so my ears perked up when you mentioned a difficult period with your dad. Its none of my beeswax of course, but I wondered if you've shared about that period in any way. Family stuff is so relatable for others, and especially helpful for others to know how you figured your way through it.
12:16 I see that Nathaniel is a fellow Kendrick fan, that's a pleasant surprise! By the way, the apartment looks magnificent! I am so glad that you finally found your happy place on this planet, the best is yet to come. Good job, Nathaniel! :)
Thank you soo much!! I just love you and your parents!! You are such a breath of fresh air and not only motivate me....but give me a regained hope for man kind!! HOW REFRESHING YOU ALL ARE!!😅❤❤❤
There is a depth when you begin to speak of your pictures and paintings - the one from 2020 - is so profound in so many ways - indeed, they all tell a story.
Such a beautiful space to live in, you can feel it from the video how much love was put into it. Let it be filled with joy, love, inspiration and laughter.
I’m literally did prepare for your videos, they are so cozy and soft, I made my popcorns and now watching this like OMG how one person can be so talented and so faithful to what he does and continue to inspire others by just talking about his lifestyle 🥺❤️ you’re on the right way, keep going bro ❤
"This is an artist's journey!" Honestly the BEST SUPPORTIVE statement i've ever heard from a mom making room for time her son's journey to self-discovery and artttt! ✨
Wow! It's been that long?! It seems like it wasn't too long ago when you got your Paris apartment. The space is so inviting! And congrats on starting a podcast! I'm just so excited for you even though I only know you on the internets lol 😊
Nathaniel, in my search for information about Paris because my 9 year old daughter wants to visit soon, I stumbled across your channel and it has really inspired her. The very first thing she said as we watched one of your videos was, “he’s living my life.” 😃 She had talked about doing what you’ve done as her lifestyle. She now sees that it’s possible and someone is already doing this. You are an inspiration to her. Thank you! We will continue to watch your videos and support your channel! Hope to visit Paris soon! Take care and best of wishes from the USA.
I had a smile on my face the whole time watching! It’s so great to see you so inspired and content in your own space. I’m a lot jealous because of course everything you chose for your place is close to the colors & textures I also enjoy so whenever I get my own space I’m definitely rewatching this to steal ideas and get inspired myself. And I CANNOT wait for the podcasts omg. I’m just so happy that you’ve decided to do that now 🙏🏽
Home is a concept I have never thought much about but after watching this I see the joy of having your own house and one day I would really wanna do this.
This is so dreamy. Mom has the best sense of style, you make a great creative team. It's clear that you have been so intentional and true to yourself during this process.
Dude, watching this video put a huge smile on my face. I love how genuinely happy you are about simple things in Your OWN Home! I dream of getting a place for myself and family one day and I can literally feel your joy from living there. Love what you and your mom did to the place. All the best!
Learning how to find and create a home is such an important part of figuring life out, I’m excited to eventually get settled. Thanks for showing us your journey!
12:40 gotta appreciate the detail that the title "The Bathroom" is not just tracked into the scene, which looks amazing, but it's also in the reflection of the shower glass. I love when people put effort into these kinds of details!🔥
Beautifully renovated and decorated. It's an interesting contrast of elegance, (without being stuffy and pretentious), while also being very warm and inviting. Very tastefully done. Enjoy it in good health.
As someone who is looking into owning several in need of renovation properties throughout the world (Brooklyn, Italy, Scottish highlands, Australia) your content has been very inspiring to me! I love to see what’s possible in these spaces and the transformation from a cozy space to a chic yet comfortable and inviting space. Thanks for sharing!
Man congratulations, you really deserve this outcome of your project. I gotta say thou I never thought the living space was that big cuz looking back when you were removing everything, it looks tiny but look at this!! So happy for you man.
I see your journey and think your apartment is coming together beautifully. I love your Mom and her enthusiasm and your Dad seems to be a wise owl of all things! May you continue to create, experiment, and explore new things. I look forward to your next adventure!🤩
what a beautiful aparta-studio, Nathaniel. Just gorgeous. Congratulations! I hope you enjoy every minute of your time in it. I love the idea of meetings with friends, and friends of friends who share your own philosophy and dreams for the future. 2019/2020 have to be erased. It was super traumatic and we are still suffering the after effects of it! Anyway, thank you for sharing your beautiful home. All the best and safe travels!
As an Interior Designer I want to say you did a great job 🎉! You made such great use of your space and you did it beautifully! Congratulations on your newly transformed apartment! Well done! 👏👏🤗
Stunning. Serene. Simple yet elegant. Steeped in history, beautiful, meaningful art, details of craftsmanship everywhere. A warm and creative space to live, thrive, create and expand your life’s experiences. Una creaćion de magía…💕
It's so nice to see the pation that you transmit talk about your home. The joy you share of the diferent moments in your life and how they are represented in the decoration. I'm happy for you and wish you great fortune in this new season of your life Nathaniel :)
This video gave me so much inspiration. I am moving to Rome and want to make a life as a "nomad" like you. Time will tell if I'll live there long term but seeing how you made a life in Paris and made it work by getting a beautiful apartment gives me inspiration as an American that I can do it too
Beautiful is not even a spectacular enough word… I love when a place is created, because something in the creator’s mind is put forth for the world to see. (Your mom is the most amazing! I wish my momma had been as vivacious and downright lovely).
Oh how I wish there was more folks like you in the world! Especially around me that really recognize sentimentally, beauty and experience within the spaces they cultivate - as artists and creative people - we need those spaces to evoke who we are and how we want to create and live in them - the engery you surround yourself in is how you will carry yourself outward into the world💜 plus I think everyone’s homes are lil museums/ art gallery’s of peoples lives that can be shared when being in it and I think it’s beautiful in how your video displays that very experience of you and how you want ppl to share experiences in your home and shared space! Bravo bello!
I related so deeply to this series because I'm going through the exact same phase, except our home isn't ready yet. The fact that your journey started a little before ours, helped us realize we had the same goal in our hearts for our home. Thank you!
Bravo!!!🤩Such a beautiful, tasteful, welcoming home, and perfectly suited to its owner! I so appreciate the dedication to getting all the details just-so, and the boldness in redoing the kitchen to match YOUR style since it's YOUR home! This is how interior design should be! The artwork is a particular delight. I've loved the dog painting at 14:42 since first seeing it on your channel!❤Congratulations on your lovely home!
I just finished the video, full of emotions, ready to watch it again and again. The place is incredible, great job, Nathaniel. I really feel like flying right now. I absolutely resonate with your enthusiasm about every little detail and I believe I will spend few hours now searching for inspiration for recreating our place a little. Thank you so much and have a wonderful time in that place!
Dear Nathaniel, I'm going to take a few moments to write this.... I live in Colombia, near a city that nobody knows, in a town that fewer people know. My life like everyone else's has been an incessant journey of joys and pain that fortunately has not yet ended. I had not learned over the years to identify very well what I want to achieve before leaving this world: before I thought it was money but it was not, then I thought it was fame but it was not either, but it was only when I saw one of your videos that I understood what I really wanted for my life: Peace. Today I want to thank you enormously, for not only teaching me through your videos how to find myself to know what I want, but also for giving me every time I watch one of your videos (and now every time I listen to one of your podcasts) a huge and indescribable feeling of peace. You have saved my life! and I am and will be eternally grateful all my life for allowing us the privilege of entering your life, your mind and your heart every time we watch one of your videos. With my eyes full of tears and wishing you from the bottom of my heart the best for your new projects, Fer.
Nathaniel, you are true artist! I hear it in your words, I see it in your wall art and I feel it in your apartment atmosphere! I remember watching your video about the space, maybe the first one. It was a coincidence. Today, again by chance, I saw the results of all your effort. Light, natural elements and no clutter, pure delight for the tired from stimulations mind. The carpentry work is beautifully incorporated through all the apartment. I wish you many happy memories there and real people to share your vision of life with!
Thank you for sharing this transformation and being so transparent throughout your apartment journey… you deserve it all! Hope you have many happy memories there😊
Well now. I haven't tuned in for a while, and I am so glad I did. Your apartment is truly magnificent and made beautifully efficient too. You, your mother and your joiner are truly gifted. More than this your expressions of gratitude and joy in your demeanour and narrative has been so uplifting to watch. I miss Paris, I miss the European architecture and way of life, but from now on I won't be missing you. I have subscribed to make sure of it. Thank you, she says, with the biggest smile on her face.
Why do I get the sense that Nathaniel’s mom is the coolest person ever
Both of his parents are quite amazing! I love his father's storytelling as well. Check out their channel.
❤
Yep agree both parents are cool & amazing, great storytellers. Love their channel and their wisdom via storytelling is superb.
I think so too! I love watching his parents videos too! Keep them coming!
Does anyone have a link to their channel please?

Nathaniel Drew continues to give me faith in humanity. His storytelling, mentallity and maturity is so warm and welcoming.

Nathaniel!!! It’s PERFECT ✨can’t believe the transformation since we were there last summer! Awesome job 😍 also your mom is my hero 🫶🏻
Thanks so much!! It was so fun having you come through.
Thanks to Kara and Nate for introducing me to this awesome story telling artist and his beautiful family.
As a dutch admirer of your work and aesthetics, the part you said that the lights and candles add a little bit of ‘gezellig’ just warms my heart
i was looking for this comment lol
Same 😂🫶🏻
Haha me too! I wish that word was translatable in other languages: its so nice to describe a cozy environment/space with that word ^_^

Thank you soo much!! I just love you and your parents!! You are such a breath of fresh air and not only motivate me....but give me a regained hope for man kind!! HOW REFRESHING YOU ALL ARE!!😅❤❤❤
Wow, I’m blown away! It came out so so well Nathaniel 🙌🏾 Can’t wait to see what amazingness you create for us from there
Thank you man I appreciate that!!
There is a depth when you begin to speak of your pictures and paintings - the one from 2020 - is so profound in so many ways - indeed, they all tell a story.
Literally to the 1% who's reading this, God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day. ✨
Ok, ta gueule
What happens to the other 99% who's reading?
Thank you
Thanks. I hope the same to you too
@@sebastiancardona156 Let them eat cake
Such a beautiful space to live in, you can feel it from the video how much love was put into it. Let it be filled with joy, love, inspiration and laughter.
I’m literally did prepare for your videos, they are so cozy and soft, I made my popcorns and now watching this like OMG how one person can be so talented and so faithful to what he does and continue to inspire others by just talking about his lifestyle 🥺❤️ you’re on the right way, keep going bro ❤
Omg yes I enjoyed every second of it too ❤
"This is an artist's journey!" Honestly the BEST SUPPORTIVE statement i've ever heard from a mom making room for time her son's journey to self-discovery and artttt! ✨
Wow! It's been that long?! It seems like it wasn't too long ago when you got your Paris apartment. The space is so inviting! And congrats on starting a podcast! I'm just so excited for you even though I only know you on the internets lol 😊
I know, time flies doesn't it?!
Nathaniel, in my search for information about Paris because my 9 year old daughter wants to visit soon, I stumbled across your channel and it has really inspired her. The very first thing she said as we watched one of your videos was, “he’s living my life.” 😃 She had talked about doing what you’ve done as her lifestyle. She now sees that it’s possible and someone is already doing this. You are an inspiration to her. Thank you! We will continue to watch your videos and support your channel! Hope to visit Paris soon! Take care and best of wishes from the USA.
I had a smile on my face the whole time watching! It’s so great to see you so inspired and content in your own space. I’m a lot jealous because of course everything you chose for your place is close to the colors & textures I also enjoy so whenever I get my own space I’m definitely rewatching this to steal ideas and get inspired myself.
And I CANNOT wait for the podcasts omg. I’m just so happy that you’ve decided to do that now 🙏🏽
Your home is sooo beautiful! It’s modern, timeless, contemporary and reflects your clean heart.
I really hope I'm successful enough as a freelancer to one day be able to buy and customise a home like this!
What do you do?
@@Catthepunk copywriting!
@@coolpersonwithcake98 cool! Do you have an insta for it? I'm trying to network with people with this kind of vision
Home is a concept I have never thought much about but after watching this I see the joy of having your own house and one day I would really wanna do this.
This is so dreamy. Mom has the best sense of style, you make a great creative team. It's clear that you have been so intentional and true to yourself during this process.
Dude, watching this video put a huge smile on my face. I love how genuinely happy you are about simple things in Your OWN Home! I dream of getting a place for myself and family one day and I can literally feel your joy from living there. Love what you and your mom did to the place. All the best!
Thanks so much!!
Beautiful ❤️
Congratulations Nathaniel!!
p.s - love the way you tour the apartment:)
I’m so happy but also very proud of you. It is a monumental journey getting your own place ❤❤ blessings for you and your home
Learning how to find and create a home is such an important part of figuring life out, I’m excited to eventually get settled. Thanks for showing us your journey!
12:40 gotta appreciate the detail that the title "The Bathroom" is not just tracked into the scene, which looks amazing, but it's also in the reflection of the shower glass. I love when people put effort into these kinds of details!🔥
i feel like a proud mother 😭😭 CONGRATULATIONS
Beautifully renovated and decorated. It's an interesting contrast of elegance, (without being stuffy and pretentious), while also being very warm and inviting. Very tastefully done. Enjoy it in good health.
As someone who is looking into owning several in need of renovation properties throughout the world (Brooklyn, Italy, Scottish highlands, Australia) your content has been very inspiring to me! I love to see what’s possible in these spaces and the transformation from a cozy space to a chic yet comfortable and inviting space. Thanks for sharing!
Man congratulations, you really deserve this outcome of your project. I gotta say thou I never thought the living space was that big cuz looking back when you were removing everything, it looks tiny but look at this!! So happy for you man.
WOW! I really love how your apartment turned out! The care for detail is a work of art itself. Thank you for sharing your work, truly inspiring
I see your journey and think your apartment is coming together beautifully. I love your Mom and her enthusiasm and your Dad seems to be a wise owl of all things! May you continue to create, experiment, and explore new things. I look forward to your next adventure!🤩
Thank you so much!
what a beautiful aparta-studio, Nathaniel. Just gorgeous. Congratulations! I hope you enjoy every minute of your time in it. I love the idea of meetings with friends, and friends of friends who share your own philosophy and dreams for the future. 2019/2020 have to be erased. It was super traumatic and we are still suffering the after effects of it! Anyway, thank you for sharing your beautiful home. All the best and safe travels!
As an Interior Designer I want to say you did a great job 🎉! You made such great use of your space and you did it beautifully! Congratulations on your newly transformed apartment! Well done! 👏👏🤗
Thank you so much!
Apartment looks amazing. Thank you for keeping up the posts. Your mom is such a great support.
Stunning. Serene. Simple yet elegant. Steeped in history, beautiful, meaningful art, details of craftsmanship everywhere. A warm and creative space to live, thrive, create and expand your life’s experiences. Una creaćion de magía…💕
It's so nice to see the pation that you transmit talk about your home. The joy you share of the diferent moments in your life and how they are represented in the decoration. I'm happy for you and wish you great fortune in this new season of your life Nathaniel :)
This video gave me so much inspiration. I am moving to Rome and want to make a life as a "nomad" like you. Time will tell if I'll live there long term but seeing how you made a life in Paris and made it work by getting a beautiful apartment gives me inspiration as an American that I can do it too
Absolutely! It's always a balancing act but with time and patience it'll work out. Good luck!
Beautiful is not even a spectacular enough word… I love when a place is created, because something in the creator’s mind is put forth for the world to see. (Your mom is the most amazing! I wish my momma had been as vivacious and downright lovely).
Oh how I wish there was more folks like you in the world! Especially around me that really recognize sentimentally, beauty and experience within the spaces they cultivate - as artists and creative people - we need those spaces to evoke who we are and how we want to create and live in them - the engery you surround yourself in is how you will carry yourself outward into the world💜 plus I think everyone’s homes are lil museums/ art gallery’s of peoples lives that can be shared when being in it and I think it’s beautiful in how your video displays that very experience of you and how you want ppl to share experiences in your home and shared space! Bravo bello!
I related so deeply to this series because I'm going through the exact same phase, except our home isn't ready yet. The fact that your journey started a little before ours, helped us realize we had the same goal in our hearts for our home. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Bravo!!!🤩Such a beautiful, tasteful, welcoming home, and perfectly suited to its owner! I so appreciate the dedication to getting all the details just-so, and the boldness in redoing the kitchen to match YOUR style since it's YOUR home! This is how interior design should be! The artwork is a particular delight. I've loved the dog painting at 14:42 since first seeing it on your channel!❤Congratulations on your lovely home!
Nathaniel, thank you for bringing humor, poetry, and the breath of life into our lives. There’s la beauté to the things you share with us all 🪞
“Creativity is intelligence having fun.” And what a beautiful space you have created for brilliance to shine.
Your mom is amazing. That kitchen is everything and completely inspiring.
Looks amazing Nathaniel, living room is schweeeeet
I just finished the video, full of emotions, ready to watch it again and again. The place is incredible, great job, Nathaniel. I really feel like flying right now. I absolutely resonate with your enthusiasm about every little detail and I believe I will spend few hours now searching for inspiration for recreating our place a little. Thank you so much and have a wonderful time in that place!
Dear Nathaniel,
I'm going to take a few moments to write this....
I live in Colombia, near a city that nobody knows, in a town that fewer people know. My life like everyone else's has been an incessant journey of joys and pain that fortunately has not yet ended. I had not learned over the years to identify very well what I want to achieve before leaving this world: before I thought it was money but it was not, then I thought it was fame but it was not either, but it was only when I saw one of your videos that I understood what I really wanted for my life: Peace.
Today I want to thank you enormously, for not only teaching me through your videos how to find myself to know what I want, but also for giving me every time I watch one of your videos (and now every time I listen to one of your podcasts) a huge and indescribable feeling of peace.
You have saved my life! and I am and will be eternally grateful all my life for allowing us the privilege of entering your life, your mind and your heart every time we watch one of your videos.
With my eyes full of tears and wishing you from the bottom of my heart the best for your new projects,
Fer.
I just love how happy and excited you are, Wish you all the best in this new cycle !!
Your apartment is absolutely amazing! Your enthusiasm about it is very sweet. It's obvious how happy you will be there.
I’ve appreciated for a while now the way in which wonderful people attract more wonderful people and events into their lives…
The world operates in mysterious ways!
Nathaniel, you are true artist! I hear it in your words, I see it in your wall art and I feel it in your apartment atmosphere! I remember watching your video about the space, maybe the first one. It was a coincidence. Today, again by chance, I saw the results of all your effort. Light, natural elements and no clutter, pure delight for the tired from stimulations mind.
The carpentry work is beautifully incorporated through all the apartment. I wish you many happy memories there and real people to share your vision of life with!
Thank you Kalina!!
I feel like giving Nathaniel a huge long hug for this! This is truly epic! So proud! I wanna go to Paris!
You and your mother's aesthetics for design are just perfect. Love, love, love your home.
What a beautiful space that's well-thought-out. Love the art wall, it's a beautiful way to relive and cherish memories. Congrats to you Nathaniel 🤍
Thank you so much!
Your place is gorgeous. ❤ It has the right amount of coziness, function, beauty, and warmth that makes a home. Inspiring.
The thought, propose and love you put into your home is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your space ❤
Thank you for sharing this transformation and being so transparent throughout your apartment journey… you deserve it all! Hope you have many happy memories there😊
This isn't even like a guy showing off, this is genuinely inspirational, good stuff man. Wish you all the best!
Well now. I haven't tuned in for a while, and I am so glad I did. Your apartment is truly magnificent and made beautifully efficient too. You, your mother and your joiner are truly gifted. More than this your expressions of gratitude and joy in your demeanour and narrative has been so uplifting to watch. I miss Paris, I miss the European architecture and way of life, but from now on I won't be missing you. I have subscribed to make sure of it. Thank you, she says, with the biggest smile on her face.
