my mom, who’s been an interior designer for 30 years, says “she’s done a great job with her space and the items she has!!” and she really liked how you utilized that “dead” corner where the cat tree is :-) what a gorgeous apartment 🥹 my mom also suggests maybe a tapestry over your bed? you have so many gallery walls, that a singular fabric tapestry could be a nice change :D
I'm 31 and I still have so much decor that one would consider not very grown up. No rules about having a certain type of decor style at a certain age. Decorate the way that makes you happy and brings joy to your space. It's your terrarium 😊
I didn't realize that Kayla is thirteen! She is so energetic and adventurous that I thought she was a cat child! I hope she lives many more years! 🐈I also have a thirteen year old boy called Holden, and he is also a character and so so fun! ❤Cats are the bestest fluff balls! 💗
i would actually focus on the bedroom first whenever you get back! even though you dont spend a lot of waking time in there, you’re ideally spending at least a third of your day in there sleeping 😅 a very important room to prioritize so you maximize your rest hours & feel the most comfortable when you’re in it! if you can paint the ceilings, something that might make the room feel a little less tall and more cozy would be painting the ceiling a deep, dark hue that comes down the walls as well, maybe about 8 inches? some more floating bookshelves on that wall could help as well, but obviously accessing those books might be a little annoying so maybe another gallery wall or a mural of some kind c: absolutely love your apartment, thanks for sharing it with us
omg!!! i literally used your high school room decor as inspo for my room before i even knew who you were!!! (btw i just discovered your yt channel today and I’m loving all of your content so far!!!)
Hi Linh! Just wanted to let you know that pothos are actually toxic to cats, but if you keep them where Kayla can’t get to them it should be fine! I have a kitty too and use ASPCA to check plants before I buy them, it’s a great resource!
the intro/outro music is so deeply linked to linh to me, i love it. it’s so comforting. first video i watched was the apartment tour of the first dc apartment and i can’t believe how long it’s been 🩷
ahh it's looking so good! i actually love the gallery wall and don't think it needs changing, but the dining nook would really benefit from one of your big murals! of course we missed your uploads but i'm glad you've been out enjoying life and can't wait to hear about your adventures.
Everything you decorated looks so pretty, it's nice to see you taking your time to think about how you want your rooms to look like. I hope you can decorate the undecorated ones just as you like while having fun♡ My favorite coziest part is your reading corner, it's lovellyyy and I like the green lamp a lot and the Palestine flag you placed in the plant pot ♡ And ofc the format of the video! I had fun watching this video ♡
Nice. 23 yrs , traveling the world, and living alone in a fancy apartment in NYC. I wasn’t able to start traveling until I was in my early 30’s and never lived in my own apartment. 😂
Linh, I've been a long-time fan (since your hs days aaaah!) on various accounts and I really appreciate being able to watch the way you've evolved as a person and how you've moved from one part of your life to another. You've always inspired me to move forward and try my best each day---no matter how bad I feel, your videos have comforted me so much and made me feel like everything will be alright. I recently started college and it has amplified my struggles with mental health. I've had depression for a long time, but you've been a constant presence for me that brings me a bit of calm and happiness in the sea of everything else. Before watching your video today I felt so bad and wanted to do nothing, but now I feel like I can keep going through the day and try. You motivate me to try and do things for myself---to search for joy in the little things, do things that are good for me, and keep going. Thank you so much for being here and taking the time to share parts of your life with everyone. I truly look up to you and admire you--stay safe and cozy Linh.
i've come to a point where everytime i see a notif from you my face lightens up!!! i've been subscribed for a year now and i just love your aesthetic, sense of humour, style, and how you decorate and change your living space is so unique and creative! i'm so glad i discovered you, because you inspire me and i just enjoy everything you do. life has special things prepared for you! greetings from uruguay 🥰🇺🇾
13:30 possible ideas for above the bed! - you could paint your own tapestry! something i recently got into it roll-pressing flowers onto cotton fabrics, and it's really easy to do! a quick rundown is you prep whatever you're pressing, then place flowers & leaves & petals (even onion peels can be used) onto the fabric, then roll it up, tie it up with thread, and then steam it! you can find more info online about it bc i'm still a beginner - if you're up for it, you could also paint or get your friends to help paint either an accent wall or create like a strip of mural/art going across the entirety of the bed wall that doesn't fully cover the entire space! it could be a fun way to hang out with friends & get some color on the wall to eliminate the negative space! - i'm always a hugeeee fan of your gallery walls, so i think that could be fun OR - more floating shelves!!!!
Hey Linh, I just wanted to say that I've been watching your channel since the lockdown, and throughout this time you've allowed me to feel free to express a maximalist side of me I didn't know I had. I began dressing much more colorful and getting into painting to decorate my room. Recently I've been a bit down because university life is something to adjust to, but watching your new videos makes me feel a lot more motivated to continue and look swag while doing it lol. Thank you for your content, and your growth as a content creator is beautiful.
the way i went “oh my god YESSSS” when i saw the video’s thumbnail when i opened youtube during my first cup of tea early in the morning. a good morning indeed 💗
She is one of the reasons I started making videos... and thanks Linh for coming back to youtube with new videos, my youtube project will finally have some new ideas...love from Pakistan
try out some "museum gel" for holding things on your nightstand in place!! you use it just like you used the putty but after it sits for an hour or so it has a really firm hold. I did my lamp and wireless charger and some other stuff on my nightstand and my cat cannot push it off as much as she'd like to LOL
I'm in my mid thirties and housemate and I just bought an ikea shark for the living room, and put up some framed anime and comic fanart. I think you'll figure out your balance of "adult" and fun decorations as you grow! It's fun to try a lot of different aesthetics before you settle on your personal style 😊
GIRL as someone now in their mid to late twenties, I can tell you that 23 is just the tip of the iceberg ❤ For me at least, life has gotten so so amazing since around 22 or 23.
Linh, I can't believe how I used to binge watch your uni vlogs so much and now that you graduated... time really flies😭 we hope life will always treat you well. We love you Linh
going seventeen period!! i watch it all the time! i love the dish rack as a floating book shelf. i definitely want to try that! i love all the knick knacks around the apartment too. your apartment feels so homey.
Haven't finished watching the video yet (loving what I see so far! Love that maximalist design is making a comeback), but with the living room gallery wall, I would maybe add a few more unframed items to the right side of the wall! Most of your unframed stuff is hanging up on the left hand side and further down, so maybe putting some unframed stuff higher up on the right might help with what you were talking about a missing puzzle piece! Love your style!! Edit: I've finished the video, and want to reiterate that I love how you've designed your apartment! This is the first video of yours I've seen, and your style is so distinctive and makes me want to redo and maximilize my apartment lmao!! So excited to see how you finish it!
i'm so proud of you and how far you've come linh!! i turn 25 tomorrow (so we're both libras lol) and have been subscribed since we were both still in HS. your videos have helped me a lot over the years and are really inspiring to me creatively & just to me as a person. i hope you and kayla are doing well 🫶🏻
Looove the Rick Riordan collection in the living area!! I used to feel kinda stupid for being still a fan of these books... But i reread the magnus chase trilogy not so long ago and realised it remains relevant to my grown self, and i am so grateful i had the chance to grow up with these books!!
I'm so anxious to grow up and get older (just entered college) and your videos are so calming and reassuring :) makes me feel like there IS something to look forward to with getting older
1. NEED to know where your french press is from, it's so cute 2. as someone who just finished their first year post-grad and living alone, making the space a home really is an incremental process! giving myself room to slowly build out a more "adult" apartment was really important (especially as someone with a tiny studio) and i'm glad i resisted the urge to fill up every nook and cranny immediately. my biggest tip, especially as a fellow maximalist, is give the eye at least one place to rest in every room. that will make the more cozy and cluttered sections feel like a deliberate design choice, and leave space in case you want to move things around later on. 3. my cat was also reluctant when i got him a big cat tree, and i found establishing that as His Space where i wouldn't bother him or go for cuddles made him start using it, since he realized he could have a corner of the apartment to just chill by himself!
I absolutely love your new place and I also love Benji's YT. He has such a calming personality and I love his plants. I take notes from his page and research some of the plants so when we finally get our home in order we can have some safe plants that won't hurt my furbabies. Congrats on the new place, job, and traveling!
Hey Linh! I just want to impart a reminder to be cautious about showing the view from your apartment. I know there have been a few youtubers who've had to move because someone identified their apartment's location. Please be safe, the apartment is beautiful and cozy as always!
now i get why we haven't heard anything from u for such a long time..... 'cause the vid is SO goooood!! loved the idea of yupping & decorating together 😩 and also loVEEEE the style of your editingggg send ya good vibes, Linh ❤
Glad to see you're doing well! For the gallery wall, highly rec cutting paper templates for all your frames to plan your layout. That way, you can make better judgments on placement before you commit, and you'll be able to reuse the cutouts if or when you end up moving somewhere new. Have fun on your upcoming trips + looking forward to more stories!
TO THIS DAY, I still remember finding a green bankers by accident for $60 and its the 2nd best purchase ive ever made beside my burnt orange 80's boucle couch. So Linh...I get you dude i get you to the cooooreeee.
9:19 my advise would be to make it black and white and simple graphics, because the TV illuminate color and the last thing you want is busy colourful graphics in the back as a distraction.
from watching Linh decorate her studio apartment back in 2020 to now watching her decorate her New York City apartment post grad ha we've come a long way
Absolutely in love with your space! The color palette is immaculate! My only recommendation for maybe some of the empty wall space in the bedroom or dining room potentially would definitely be a mirror. It'll help make the space seem bigger as well as brighter to help reflect light. I love the idea of accent paint or maybe even a peel and stick wallpaper for some added texture. Just some thoughts. Sending my love
I've recently started really enjoying listening to your videos while im around doing chores, and I've gotta say your voice is just so pleasing to the ear. 🙏 Literally, all the stressors about my day go away when I hear you, it's crazy. In terms of ideas/tips for decor (not sure if you're still looking for tips, so forgive me if you arent but-) : - I saw some people recommend a tapestry for your room, which is a great idea! Id definitely pair it with some warm fairy lights to tie it all together. ^ ^ - As for getting your cat more accustomed to the cat tower, i recommended throwing some catnip in there! It's usually what I do to get my cats to get interested in any new furniture I get for them. After they start to go in there, be sure to give them lots of love as a positive reinforcement. ♡ - A plant on your coffee table might be cute! Snake plants are easy to take care of, and they have such a unique color. The last one I had was almost a dark purple it was so fascinating. (Note : they also do decently well in low light spaces!) - On the topic of plants, i really feel like variegated plants would be really cute in your place! Clay pots are also great for bringing in some soft warm colors into your space as well. Thats about all the advice i have, hopefully none of these are a repeat but there are quite a few comments. orz I hope you're having a wonderful day! ^ ^
hmm if you're looking for apartment ideas, here's some (just my opinion though!!) - maybe the gallery wall feels off because things are like aligned but just not aligned but not clearly unaligned, if that makes sense? like my eye wants to draw a straight line at the border for example and i can almost do it but not quite - if your work is on the dining table, maybe that means your office isn't functioning exactly as it needs to be? i recently also moved to a smaller space and i think having zones are helpful. i'm not sure how practical you want your office floating shelves to be since they can't hold that much weight, but maybe they can become somewhat more utilitarian - i love the light strips you added to the kitchen!!!
Linh! I went to Iceland this summer and it was great. A few recs: 1. Eldur og ís had the best crepes I’ve ever had! In Reykjavik 2. Icelandic Street Food (yes that is the name of the restaurant 😂) in Reykjavik was so warm and cozy for the cold weather! 3. If you’re going in fall/winter, definitely bundle up and be prepared to get wet-I got some quick dry pants at REI and while not especially fashionable they were very worth it. 4. If you can, take a tour bus going northwest of Reykjavik towards Snaefellsjokull. I loved this part of the country so much! 5. Licorice up there is really good! You’re going to love it, it was such a beautiful country and I would definitely go back!
I really love your decor style! 😊 It’s inspiring me to finally go and use more color! I also really like the locker for the pantry, I’m gonna look for one for myself I think 😊
LOVE it so much, making me look forward to having my own home so much. For the blank space above your bed, maybe you could try hanging a large tapestry? Just to off-set the gallery walls in your living and office
@linh truong LINH, YAYYY! So happy and lovely to see you upload again. You seem to be glowing in a different way, like you're settling into yourself more, finding what makes you happy and doing things on your terms. Your place just screams Linh and "have a seat, you're safe here ❤". I hope NY is everything you want it to be. If you need recommendation for that plant on the shelf, there's a company called Swan City Ceramics that's based in Florida and they also stream on YT that I have the honor of modding for. Would absolutely love if you gave em a check out, they are a team of a husband and wife, Nick and Jess. Love them both, tell em Mandy sent you! ❤
Oh my gosh WAIT I had to do a double take (ie a rewind) when I saw THE WAY OF KINGS on your bottom shelf??? AHHH LINH! That’s literally my FAVOURITE book of all time, and the Stormlight Archive is my favourite saga. Oh my goshhh I need to hear you yap about the fantasy books you love
I've actually only read way of kings, I need to finish the trilogy! I remember it changing my brain chemistry in high school - the third act of way of kings changed my life
@@withlovelinh haha to “brain chemistry”, and I couldn’t agree more - these books changed my life too :) You would love the rest! The plot, characters and glory of it all just continue to grow. If you ever want to nerd about the books, especially as I reread them in preparation for book 5 this December, you now know where to find me ;)
You have one of the prettiest spaces I've ever seen, and I do watch a lot of interior design RUclips! It doesn't feel decorative, but lived-in, cozy, fun, colorful and personal! A space that tells me about the person living in it, rather than staging something.
I went to Iceland in late April, and it is seriously one of my top favourite countries I’ve been to, it’s out of this world! I have so many recs but it depends where you’re going in the country. First off I do recommend the blue lagoon! Personally it’s one of the things I always think of when I pictured Iceland so for me I had to go. The other thermal pools are amazing too of course! But for me it was a must. Next if you’re heading south I’d go to dyrhólaey one of the most stunning view points I’ve ever seen. All the waterfalls there are neat as well like skogafoss and gljúfrabúi (which is in a cave!) if you’re doing the golden circle I’d also recommend going to friðheimar for their tomato soup it’s out of this world (location is also so cool) I have so many more recs for Reykjavik and the golden circle if you need more ! Have so much fun truly one of the best places on earth in my opinion 🇮🇸❤️
As much comforting your every video is it makes me question my life so much 😅 like how I am not organised and why my place is not so good but again everything takes time broooo
I love love loveeee your aesthetic! , maximalism is the best when linh does it for me! It's just so pretty,love listening you talk, love watching your vlogs, videos, films i would say, just so authentically pretty editing
WAKE UP MAXIMALISTS LINH UPLOADED
Letttssss goooooooo!!!!
Hi
🫡🫡🫡
I had my alarm set y'all!
LET'S GOOOO
my mom, who’s been an interior designer for 30 years, says “she’s done a great job with her space and the items she has!!” and she really liked how you utilized that “dead” corner where the cat tree is :-)
what a gorgeous apartment 🥹 my mom also suggests maybe a tapestry over your bed? you have so many gallery walls, that a singular fabric tapestry could be a nice change :D
i had the same thought! i thought a tapestry would be good (:
Tapestry it is 🫡 I will listen to the pro!
I do that. Tnx to your mother. I feel good now more so. I am a maximalist. Bohemian.😊🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦🪴🌻🍄🌻🪴
this is absolutely iconic, NYC looks so good on u linh
Thank u breanna 🥺🫶
I'm 31 and I still have so much decor that one would consider not very grown up. No rules about having a certain type of decor style at a certain age. Decorate the way that makes you happy and brings joy to your space. It's your terrarium 😊
I didn't realize that Kayla is thirteen! She is so energetic and adventurous that I thought she was a cat child! I hope she lives many more years! 🐈I also have a thirteen year old boy called Holden, and he is also a character and so so fun! ❤Cats are the bestest fluff balls! 💗
the whole heros of olympus collection! 💖
Uncle rick 😎
@@withlovelinh can you tell me where you got your shelves in the living room? they are so cute!
your blue cabinet gives school locker in the most cool, eclectic way possible!!!
i would actually focus on the bedroom first whenever you get back! even though you dont spend a lot of waking time in there, you’re ideally spending at least a third of your day in there sleeping 😅 a very important room to prioritize so you maximize your rest hours & feel the most comfortable when you’re in it! if you can paint the ceilings, something that might make the room feel a little less tall and more cozy would be painting the ceiling a deep, dark hue that comes down the walls as well, maybe about 8 inches? some more floating bookshelves on that wall could help as well, but obviously accessing those books might be a little annoying so maybe another gallery wall or a mural of some kind c:

90%are toxic she actually needs catnip plant for diverting kitty interest in plants.😊it helps.
i was literally on a linh binge watch and its so comforting yet fun to watch and i got so happy seeing this video pop up :)
the intro/outro music is so deeply linked to linh to me, i love it. it’s so comforting. first video i watched was the apartment tour of the first dc apartment and i can’t believe how long it’s been 🩷
Thanks for being there since day one :,)
BABE WAKE UP LINH DROPPED A NEW VIDEOOO
the two fans being hang up still over the years, i am so here for it ! (I AM SO RIDE AND DIE WITH THEM LINH PLS KEEP REUSING THEM)
I like to watch your videos as motivation to try to get closer to achieving my dream, to enjoy life as much as you do! Thanks for another great vid :)
also I LOVE BENJIPLANT TOO LETS GO :D
your videos always manage to calm me down everytime i'm stressed 😭❤❤ idk how you do it linh
ahh it's looking so good! i actually love the gallery wall and don't think it needs changing, but the dining nook would really benefit from one of your big murals! of course we missed your uploads but i'm glad you've been out enjoying life and can't wait to hear about your adventures.
LET'S GO, Linh stays having that top-tier aesthetic!
9:45 adding a poster of namjoon in the fridge is so real
"I really only use this TV to watch Netflix and Going Seventeen." 😅
Linh, never change.
Everything you decorated looks so pretty, it's nice to see you taking your time to think about how you want your rooms to look like. I hope you can decorate the undecorated ones just as you like while having fun♡ My favorite coziest part is your reading corner, it's lovellyyy and I like the green lamp a lot and the Palestine flag you placed in the plant pot ♡ And ofc the format of the video! I had fun watching this video ♡
LINH IS BACK LINH IS BACK MAN
ive been struggling with start of school and not being able to get myself organised. i love your videos
Nice. 23 yrs , traveling the world, and living alone in a fancy apartment in NYC. I wasn’t able to start traveling until I was in my early 30’s and never lived in my own apartment. 😂
You have no idea how much I cried watching this
Lihn x tiffany interaction had me so happy, plus the eorobeun meme will always be iconic
Linh,
I've been a long-time fan (since your hs days aaaah!) on various accounts and I really appreciate being able to watch the way you've evolved as a person and how you've moved from one part of your life to another. You've always inspired me to move forward and try my best each day---no matter how bad I feel, your videos have comforted me so much and made me feel like everything will be alright.

i've come to a point where everytime i see a notif from you my face lightens up!!! i've been subscribed for a year now and i just love your aesthetic, sense of humour, style, and how you decorate and change your living space is so unique and creative! i'm so glad i discovered you, because you inspire me and i just enjoy everything you do. life has special things prepared for you! greetings from uruguay 🥰🇺🇾
The cat tree with the couch and green light on the side is so cute and comfy looking. That area looks so comfortable.
Not me screaming when I saw Joon. YEP I'LL BE DOING THIS WHEN I HAVE MY OWN PLACE !! Loveddddd your apartment queennnn
13:30 possible ideas for above the bed!
- you could paint your own tapestry! something i recently got into it roll-pressing flowers onto cotton fabrics, and it's really easy to do! a quick rundown is you prep whatever you're pressing, then place flowers & leaves & petals (even onion peels can be used) onto the fabric, then roll it up, tie it up with thread, and then steam it! you can find more info online about it bc i'm still a beginner
- if you're up for it, you could also paint or get your friends to help paint either an accent wall or create like a strip of mural/art going across the entirety of the bed wall that doesn't fully cover the entire space! it could be a fun way to hang out with friends & get some color on the wall to eliminate the negative space!
- i'm always a hugeeee fan of your gallery walls, so i think that could be fun OR
- more floating shelves!!!!

ILY and I've missed you so much.
I love the way you live Linh! You have great aesthetic sense
I literally have finals in two weeks and didn't realize how much I needed this haha. Thanks for uploading Linh. We love you!!!
the way i went “oh my god YESSSS” when i saw the video’s thumbnail when i opened youtube during my first cup of tea early in the morning. a good morning indeed 💗
Yay namjoon back on his spot on fridge!
She is one of the reasons I started making videos... and thanks Linh for coming back to youtube with new videos, my youtube project will finally have some new ideas...love from Pakistan

really enjoy popping in to see you progressing. been following you on/off for years and i feel hella proxy-proud. the crib looks great. keep thriving.
I love your aesthetic so much!! Your childhood bedroom and apartment are always an inspo. for me!! You should definitely make more videos like these!
Looove the Rick Riordan collection in the living area!! I used to feel kinda stupid for being still a fan of these books... But i reread the magnus chase trilogy not so long ago and realised it remains relevant to my grown self, and i am so grateful i had the chance to grow up with these books!!

I've recently started really enjoying listening to your videos while im around doing chores, and I've gotta say your voice is just so pleasing to the ear. 🙏 Literally, all the stressors about my day go away when I hear you, it's crazy.
In terms of ideas/tips for decor (not sure if you're still looking for tips, so forgive me if you arent but-) :
- I saw some people recommend a tapestry for your room, which is a great idea! Id definitely pair it with some warm fairy lights to tie it all together. ^ ^
- As for getting your cat more accustomed to the cat tower, i recommended throwing some catnip in there! It's usually what I do to get my cats to get interested in any new furniture I get for them. After they start to go in there, be sure to give them lots of love as a positive reinforcement. ♡
- A plant on your coffee table might be cute! Snake plants are easy to take care of, and they have such a unique color. The last one I had was almost a dark purple it was so fascinating. (Note : they also do decently well in low light spaces!)
- On the topic of plants, i really feel like variegated plants would be really cute in your place! Clay pots are also great for bringing in some soft warm colors into your space as well.
Thats about all the advice i have, hopefully none of these are a repeat but there are quite a few comments. orz
I hope you're having a wonderful day! ^ ^
Where did the times go? I've been following you since you were 16, and now you're 23? It's so good to watching you since then. Keep on shining Linh!!!
your shelving area is amazing and so is your gallery, like literally everything is perfect 🥰🥰
hmm if you're looking for apartment ideas, here's some (just my opinion though!!)
- maybe the gallery wall feels off because things are like aligned but just not aligned but not clearly unaligned, if that makes sense? like my eye wants to draw a straight line at the border for example and i can almost do it but not quite
- if your work is on the dining table, maybe that means your office isn't functioning exactly as it needs to be? i recently also moved to a smaller space and i think having zones are helpful. i'm not sure how practical you want your office floating shelves to be since they can't hold that much weight, but maybe they can become somewhat more utilitarian
- i love the light strips you added to the kitchen!!!
i missed your videos so much! Im so happy to see another video! Thank you for this artwork you created! 😍
linh you have no idea of how inspired i get from watching your content!! i aspire to be as aesthetic and creative as you one day :,)
nah bc tell me why the second the yeoreobun clip came up i knew the words by heart...
I love this, I'm currently in the work of decorating my room and buying a couch for the living room. This motivantes me and inspires me
Your home looks very cozy. Your kitty cat Kayla is adorable.
loved the Percy Jackson series on the shelf!!!! The decoration, in general, looks stunning!
Linh! I went to Iceland this summer and it was great. A few recs:
1. Eldur og ís had the best crepes I’ve ever had! In Reykjavik
2. Icelandic Street Food (yes that is the name of the restaurant 😂) in Reykjavik was so warm and cozy for the cold weather!
3. If you’re going in fall/winter, definitely bundle up and be prepared to get wet-I got some quick dry pants at REI and while not especially fashionable they were very worth it.
4. If you can, take a tour bus going northwest of Reykjavik towards Snaefellsjokull. I loved this part of the country so much!
5. Licorice up there is really good!
You’re going to love it, it was such a beautiful country and I would definitely go back!
I really love your decor style! 😊 It’s inspiring me to finally go and use more color!
I also really like the locker for the pantry, I’m gonna look for one for myself I think 😊
GOING TO USE THIS AS ROOM INSPO OMGGG 😭😭❤❤
linh, about being 23? ur coworker was absolutely right but it def gets better :) proud of you for this big change!
love your taste in books!
LOVE it so much, making me look forward to having my own home so much. For the blank space above your bed, maybe you could try hanging a large tapestry? Just to off-set the gallery walls in your living and office
I agree! I'm gonna keep an eye out for textile/wood art to hang above the bed, I think it'd look nice
@linh truong
LINH, YAYYY! So happy and lovely to see you upload again. You seem to be glowing in a different way, like you're settling into yourself more, finding what makes you happy and doing things on your terms.
Your place just screams Linh and "have a seat, you're safe here ❤". I hope NY is everything you want it to be.
If you need recommendation for that plant on the shelf, there's a company called Swan City Ceramics that's based in Florida and they also stream on YT that I have the honor of modding for. Would absolutely love if you gave em a check out, they are a team of a husband and wife, Nick and Jess. Love them both, tell em Mandy sent you! ❤
Yesssss I missed you linhhhhhhhh
wow I love it!! happy belated bday and congrats on the new apt!!
Long awaited video 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️love you linh
i love your style so much, im always reminiscing of your first apartment
Oh my gosh WAIT I had to do a double take (ie a rewind) when I saw THE WAY OF KINGS on your bottom shelf??? AHHH LINH! That’s literally my FAVOURITE book of all time, and the Stormlight Archive is my favourite saga. Oh my goshhh I need to hear you yap about the fantasy books you love
I've actually only read way of kings, I need to finish the trilogy! I remember it changing my brain chemistry in high school - the third act of way of kings changed my life
@@withlovelinh haha to “brain chemistry”, and I couldn’t agree more - these books changed my life too :) You would love the rest! The plot, characters and glory of it all just continue to grow. If you ever want to nerd about the books, especially as I reread them in preparation for book 5 this December, you now know where to find me ;)
I love this so much i was literally counting down the seconds
Been a fan since you got accepted to Georgetown. 😭😭 I’m so happy for how much you’ve gone
So excited for the international vlogs! Creator camp, Eurail, and your Asia adventures! Especially can't wait for Vietnam~
I think Vietnam is coming next...thank you for your patience teehee
I love that my favorite RUclipsr is a carat
You have one of the prettiest spaces I've ever seen, and I do watch a lot of interior design RUclips! It doesn't feel decorative, but lived-in, cozy, fun, colorful and personal! A space that tells me about the person living in it, rather than staging something.
The 🍉 flag 6:16 🥹
❤️💚🖤🤍
Just discovered your channel and I'm so happy to have found a content creator who still masks!! I subscribed right away!!
linh you're such an inspiration dude, these videos make me wanna create and be productive lol
Never been this early❤Love your videos, they are always so comforting to watch and thank you making them
me watching this a week before my 23rd birthday is crazy. happy belated birthday btw! 🎉
Beautiful bookshelf’s linh! And that flag next to them was the cherry on top 🤍🫶
I went to Iceland in late April, and it is seriously one of my top favourite countries I’ve been to, it’s out of this world! I have so many recs but it depends where you’re going in the country. First off I do recommend the blue lagoon! Personally it’s one of the things I always think of when I pictured Iceland so for me I had to go. The other thermal pools are amazing too of course! But for me it was a must. Next if you’re heading south I’d go to dyrhólaey one of the most stunning view points I’ve ever seen. All the waterfalls there are neat as well like skogafoss and gljúfrabúi (which is in a cave!) if you’re doing the golden circle I’d also recommend going to friðheimar for their tomato soup it’s out of this world (location is also so cool) I have so many more recs for Reykjavik and the golden circle if you need more ! Have so much fun truly one of the best places on earth in my opinion 🇮🇸❤️
As much comforting your every video is it makes me question my life so much 😅 like how I am not organised and why my place is not so good but again everything takes time broooo
back in my linh era LOVING IT
I love love loveeee your aesthetic! , maximalism is the best when linh does it for me! It's just so pretty,love listening you talk, love watching your vlogs, videos, films i would say, just so authentically pretty editing
That 'dead' window spot would make the coziest reading nook with the right chair/futon
This video felt like such rush of comfort... Slowly getting through life together with linh :]
Your apartment looks so amazing omg! The red couch is killer. This is definitely the inspo i needed to finish decorating my room haha
