I think you should nix the bookshelves, get bigger nightstands that take up more space, and hang mirrors behind the nightstands (which will help the room feel bigger). I also think you could use a big rug in your room that has some texture.
Yes yes yes yes I needed this so bad. School is rough and it’s only the third day so I don’t know if I’m gonna make it… like genuinely concerned. Your positivity is honestly what keeps me going. I’m seriously just waiting for that one day I get to meet you and just bawl. Thank you for your videos and all the hard work you put into them! I love you so much!
if you need something to cover the wires under the TV in your bedroom, use a radiator cover! its super narrow, so perfect for your tiny walk way space. it looks like a media console but you wouldn't be able to use it much for storage
You could always do a mock fireplace "look" with a floating cabinet. Google floating cabinet. Or pinterest. You need something taller than the arm of the couch. Then put a few candle holders on top, a picture frame and call it good!
Get a thin entry way table for under the TVs! And hanging plants over the couch might add a touch of color, and the green of leaves would compliment the neutral space. You could also do a large decorative macrame above the couches, if you prefer that! They have tons of large ones on Etsy, and commonly they are cream, which is a bit lighter than your couches.
Sasha's Closet honestly I couldn’t agree more. She promoted the fact that “renting” the furniture is so convenient because they will just come pick it up and take it out. She could do sooooo much better than this 2 huge couches.
If you put a big decorative mirror on the wall above the couch, it will take up the space and make the room appear bigger. Plus since you have a lot of windows and a great view, all that natural light will bounce off the mirror.
The Alo “cruiser short” is pretty similar to the ones you’re wearing in case anyone wants something like hers❤️ I just bought them lol because I wanted the ones you have but I couldn’t find them either 😂 also try floating shelves with the wall that your TV is. I think you’ll get stressed every time you walk in your room rather than relaxed if you do all that furniture on the same wall!
If you love Tacos, Chilacates in the South End is super good. It's more of a fast food style similar to Chipotle so they don't serve alcohol. It's also a chain so it's all over parts of Boston
You could use a small stand and put an art piece on top or artificial plant to cover up the plugs. For pancakes I prefer maple syrup that is more pure than pancake syrup but expensive.
Before buying and building the bookshelves try the at home feature with ikea, it uses vr to show you what the items would look like in the space with the measurements taken into consideration!
You and Max are the cutest! Can't wait for the podcast!!!! :) I'm a hardcore listener of Brooke and Danielle's podcast, so I already know I'll be a hardcore listener of yours! lol
What if instead of bookshelves you put floating shelves on both sides of the bed?! Then there would be symmetry and functionality without the clutter of more furniture! :)
Why not put some floating bookshelves on the wall and in the living room to cover up the TV cables get ‘n nice rustic/chic trunk that you can put spare pillows and blankets in for when someone sleeps over!
I would sell the current bookcase, then buy a two tier console table to put under the television. Then you can display the things that are in your books case on the different levels without over crowding your room with a bunch of furniture
Why don't you put shallow, narrow bookshelves on either side of the tv and shelves underneath the tv? That way you don't have EVERYTHING on that one wall, but you get some storage. That one wall is going to be so heavy visually and cluttered with so much stuff on it.
Look for house decor inspo on pinterest. At the beginning you might not feel passionate about it, but when you live in a space you create I promise you feel soooooooo much betterrr and inspired
Why is you’re voice always so raspy and broken up? Have you thought about getting you’re throat voice box checked out? Perhaps you have a small trachea throat issue. You’re voice sounds like you are always about to cry or got scared voice all the time. Just trying to help, not trying to be unkind or bully you. Just my thoughts!
Smaller room thought... don’t get more bookshelves bc it’s gonna to be tooo much going on and make your room feel small .. just get two bigggg nightstands
no bookshelves!!! the one you have already looks cluttered, and i think that you should move your collage of you and max... and def get something skinny under your tv
gretchen: we’re not married
max: not yet....
MY HEART💜💜💜

Aleiya Armstrong i agree!!!
Aleiya Armstrong yeah the room doesn't need that much furniture. less is more in small spaces
Too much furniture is small spaces will make you feel crammed. Love this advice, no bookshelves! Less is more 💕
MAX SAYING "NOT YET" WHEN YOU MENTIONED BEING MARRIED OMG IM SO EMO
hahaha sorry the ending of this is a fail, I’ve really been trying to get better with the endings of my vlogs!
i’m gonna be so sad when max isn’t in the vlog everyday :((

you audrey lusia and max in one souls class is a literal squad also cannot wait for your podcast! love you
I'd love to see a sit down video of your workout faves, like all different brands and types of clothes(leggings, sports bras ect)!!
An L shaped couch, a plant where that table is to the side of the couches maybe? And then the coffee table you already have, BOOM, a vibe lol
Gretchen you should see a speech-language pathologist for some vocal health tips!
I don’t know if I’m the only one who has noticed this, but Max has gotten SO comfortable with you on the camera and it’s so cute! I love it!
WHEN??? WHERE??? WHEN IS THE PODCAST COMING???? IM SO EXCITED!!!!!
This relationship is just so damn wholesome UGHHH😭🥺
put a cape and boston picture in the living room!!!
I’m shook Luisa is only 21
Use dawn dishwashing soap on the stain!! and if it doesn't come out the first time, try again... it usually works!!

I hate the couches so much 😓 I think for your space an L shaped couch would’ve made way more sense of bc the 2 couches just look a little awkward
Sasha's Closet honestly I couldn’t agree more. She promoted the fact that “renting” the furniture is so convenient because they will just come pick it up and take it out. She could do sooooo much better than this 2 huge couches.
Ugh yes I think they kind of look cheap tbh
we got them specifically to have a pull out one for guests! it’s so worth it for us since we have parents and friends visiting all the time💛
Happy Belated Birthday Lusia!
i love it, so much natural light

... do you keep syrup in the fridge??😧
You could use a small stand and put an art piece on top or artificial plant to cover up the plugs. For pancakes I prefer maple syrup that is more pure than pancake syrup but expensive.
the basket in front of your living room tv does not look bad at all, but a tall faux plant in the corner would make the basket look less random.
Before buying and building the bookshelves try the at home feature with ikea, it uses vr to show you what the items would look like in the space with the measurements taken into consideration!
so freaking ready for your podcast!!!!!!!
Get rid of book case and don’t get new ones. You’ll be smushed
Is Lucy not going to Ireland?
You look especially pretty today. Omg. Love the lip glass and glow!!
Have u tried athleta before? love thier stuff.
Literally just stopped watching the video and bought those shoes! They are exactly what I have been looking for! So excited!
Kirkland's have very large, affordable mirrors. You should put one above your couch. It'll brighten your space and make it look bigger.
You and Max are the cutest! Can't wait for the podcast!!!! :) I'm a hardcore listener of Brooke and Danielle's podcast, so I already know I'll be a hardcore listener of yours! lol
Omg I just saw Bartaco for the first time today and I was like “that’s the place Gretchen was talking about!”
Gretchen put peanut butter & syrup on your pancakes! LIFE!!!
What if instead of bookshelves you put floating shelves on both sides of the bed?! Then there would be symmetry and functionality without the clutter of more furniture! :)
you should do a mirror on the Wallin the living room it would look so good
You should make the wall above your couch a gallery wall and I think getting a small table would be great! ❤️❤️
can u show us how u do ur daily makeup plssss
Why not put some floating bookshelves on the wall and in the living room to cover up the TV cables get ‘n nice rustic/chic trunk that you can put spare pillows and blankets in for when someone sleeps over!
“get luisa on the phone” Lol max
"Not yettt." Ooh👀😍
I would sell the current bookcase, then buy a two tier console table to put under the television. Then you can display the things that are in your books case on the different levels without over crowding your room with a bunch of furniture
also do bigger nightstands that fill the space next to your bed
Maybe a tapestry behind the couch!
AWW when you said you weren’t married and max said not yet 🤩🤩 cutest couple EVER
Girl, use blue dawn to get stains out!!!
Bartaco is soooo good!!!!!!
Bartaco is one of my favorite places, they have the best margaritas!
Why don't you put shallow, narrow bookshelves on either side of the tv and shelves underneath the tv? That way you don't have EVERYTHING on that one wall, but you get some storage. That one wall is going to be so heavy visually and cluttered with so much stuff on it.
Don’t leave Max!!!
Where is your necklace from that you wear all the time?
I also like the processed syrup 😂😂
Could you put Wilson in front of the cords under the TV in the living room? Just an idea lol
You should paint the bottom of the cord the color of the wall/ cord cover.
Look for house decor inspo on pinterest. At the beginning you might not feel passionate about it, but when you live in a space you create I promise you feel soooooooo much betterrr and inspired
You are AMAZING...always make my days. Love You Lots!!!!
Don't put the blankets by the outlet it's a fire hazard!!
you should try birch benders!! sooo much better than kodiak cakes
I don't know if you want opinions lol but I think two book shelves would be too much. I kind of like the large bookshelf in the corner
i would just get rid of the bookshelves all together and just get bigger night stands!!!!
don’t get any more bookshelves! just get some decor to hang above night stands
Ughhh I love bartaco I went there in Nashville so jealous 😭
Omg I just went to bartaco when I visited Nashville last weekend!
Lucy 😍pls tell her to vlog more 😭
Get shout spray stain remover spray for your crop top! I promise it gets out every stain!!! :)
WHEN SHE HINTS AT THE PODCAST AHH
Are the slides true to size?
Real maple syrup!!!
Why is you’re voice always so raspy and broken up? Have you thought about getting you’re throat voice box checked out? Perhaps you have a small trachea throat issue. You’re voice sounds like you are always about to cry or got scared voice all the time. Just trying to help, not trying to be unkind or bully you. Just my thoughts!
at bartaco get the porkbelly, chicken churrizo, poke bowl, guac large
Why not dye the white crop top pink or red or even black might work!?
Why don’t you get some shelves! You could do stacked shelves
i would not get the bookshelves! a cluttered room is a cluttered mind!
I have those slides I love them!!
Hi Lucy 😎❤️ I thought she left for Ireland already.
Don’t put the blankets there , that’s a fire hazard !
Smaller room thought... don’t get more bookshelves bc it’s gonna to be tooo much going on and make your room feel small .. just get two bigggg nightstands
"i got air force ones i'm cool " lmfaoo i absolutely adore you gretchen !
no bookshelves!!! the one you have already looks cluttered, and i think that you should move your collage of you and max... and def get something skinny under your tv
