I have never once smoked. I have no interest in smoking. But when he opened up the window and looked out, I suddenly had an urge to move to Paris and take up smoking in front of windows.
What i like about your apartment is your attitude about it honestly, its very expensive for the size and quality, they are charging you for the location, but for someone as young as you is enough, you appreciate everything in it because it represents independence, adventure and romance and i hope you never get jaded either by love or life.
I once found two new, cashmere sweaters, tags still attached, shoved in between metro seats. Paris is heaven if you're a cheapskate. You can furnish your entire apartment AND dress urself like a boujee if you just keep your eyes open haha. Love u Damon love to see you thrive xx
Hearing him seamlessly transition from his charming Southern American accent to French, without a trace of his accent, is giving me the most delightful whiplash
His accent is not Southern. It's exaggerated Midwestern. That's how people speak in Southern Indiana on the border with Kentucky. En plus, he has a very thick American accent in French. And I have never seen him hold an unedited converso in French with a French speaker. Edited bits and bobs here and here don't French fluency make.
My rule when i watch a video on youtube: If I laugh one time, I leave a like. If I laugh a second time I leave a comment. If I laugh a third time I subscribe. Did all of that. Loved it! I am Parisian living in Dublin, I related to a lot of things!
Haha waouh nice rules, I'm curious to see how many times you laugh for this video (I'm from Paris living in Saigon) : ruclips.net/video/VOHaTu2bEi8/видео.html
Hi Arthur! I'd love to know how this online rule translates to decision making out there in the physical 'real' world. I'm deeply intrigued. Surely you have a formula for that too? Please tell me more :)
Boy you need to put more ads in your videos! We’re all loyal fans and if supporting you means watching a couple of quick ads, WE’RE ALL FOR IT. Keep it up with the videos, they’re so entertaining🤩 And also, the video design/aesthetic is really creative, I’m in love
I joined the Air Force to travel, I filled out my “Dream Sheet” ( where you put down your base preferences) and a reason why it’s called a Dream Sheet is because it’s a dream, not everyone gets the base they want. But for me my Dream became a reality because I’m going to Pordenone, Italy in June 🇮🇹❤️ Thanks Damon and you too Jo for igniting the love for travel & language in me, I love all of your videos. I owe it to you guys. Ciao
This is actually super impressive. Such a small space and you did the damn thing. Love that gallery wall and the fact that you thrifted everything just goes to show being sustainable can be CHIC when you get creative!
I'm European (Poland) and I love Damon's style. It's sad people say only Americans are digging this style because that's not true.. I've traveled to Greece and Portugal and those places did had the romantique, artistic and enchanting vibe to them. Although I've never been in Paris, I believe that city is great for vintage inspired interior design! It's a great match with the city's old apartment buildings. In the end this guy's furniture and decorations are second hand and clearly representing past decades, maybe even revival of past centuries. And it would be quiet a waste if European people see this combination as pathetic American effort and lack of European trends. Be grateful of what you have. Embrace the history, the art. Rather than feel ashamed of it, my dear European family.
y’all damon is such a libra 😩😩 the way he kept mentioning balance with his neat picture wall and talking about surrounding yourself with beauty- we love you damon keep it up
As a moroccan, the little surprise reference to my country made me super happy. I made me go from enjoying the video to liking the video, and also making me homesick. So Merci Damon.
I recently got a google nest mini speaker from RUclips and discovered they have installed nature sounds. Now every night I’m yelling ‘HEY GOOGLE RAIN SOUNDS’ or thunder, southern, river, fireplace or just plain white noice
There are two ways to deal with a tiny space like your bathroom: either make it feel bigger with light colours and mirrors and minimalism, or treat it like the inside of a jewelry box and go for intimate and intense. If it were me, I'd stick with the coziness and openness you've got going with the main room, and go for intense in the bathroom. I'd hide the ceiling and the hot water heater both with 3-4 beaded curtains, attached to the wall opposite the hot water heater and then draped across the bulk of the ceiling, stopping where the hot water heater is, then draping again over it and to the wall just below it. You'd get a massive chandelier effect.
American here. Paint the water heater yellow. It's not a bug, it's a feature. Use the color as accents. or... many possibilities. Beaded curtains are a dust magnet. And tacky.
@@dreamervanroom That hot water heater menancingly mounted above the tub is tacky -- and scary. To me, the only good things about French design are doors and windows -- and even those are strictly for aesthetic, not practicality.
I would suggest investing in a good, fairly large volume dehumidifier for your bathroom. Makes a huge difference when you don't have proper ventilation. Also, leave your windows open for a few hours per day at least. Great apartment tour!
You are delightful! So authentic,, no fake mannerisms etc. like most others. You had me at “strategic...first thing they see”-exactement! - keep making videos please, you are very artistically talented and charismatic!
Oh I love this. Such a charming, lively little show'n'tell. Such light-hearted, open-armed energy! And generously providing links and giving detailed bits of informational extras that clearly increase your workload during production rather than being part of a shortcut approach is noticed and appreciated. You're a breathe of fresh air for me this week. xoxo :)
damon i can see youve truly adapted to the european way of living since youre not wearing shoes indoors, bravo! also oblig mention of the ex but still no ex
@@yendaaaa lol I didn't realize this was an American thing, I thought it was normal. Yup, everyone at my house wears shoes inside for the most part. It's odd when you go to someone's house and they ask you to remove your shoes! 😂🤷♀️
You are so cute! I am a 62 yr old Canadian woman and I so enjoyed your video. I love your apartment (except the scary water heater above the toilet). I'd live there in a heart beat. If there weren't to many stairs. You did a great job with it. And all the fun you had acquiring it!
I absolutely love every thing about this channel. The music, the way you speak, the way you film, the way you edit, God even the way you put every. Single. Information. In your description box I freaking love it all!! I came here because Ashley mentioned you and I'm so thankful I did!! ❤
The heater under the window is because hot air goes up and cold air from the window goes down, that way the hot air from the heater spreads better. It's very common at least in Europe, definitely in older houses with bad isolation.
Hey Damon, just wanted to let you know that you are amazing and I enjoy the content you choose to share with us. Have you thought about doing a podcast? I know editing videos and thinking of new content of videos takes time... but I ld love to hear you talk about experiences with guests on a podcast =) I think everyone can agree that we want MORE of you often 😉😅 (selfishly I want more)
i’m in love with the style & the vibes in your apartment! the couch, the kitchen tiles, the frame wall, everything!! also, the music is so fitting and it just adds to the whole atmosphere perfectly !
I lived in a 250 sq ft apartment in NYC for 8 years--took my YEARS and a lot more money to whip it into shape. Your place is super cute & to put it together while navigating another language and culture where so many aspects of the process are different, kudos to you!
for ur bathroom first of all the tiles are gorgeous!! Honestly I think just bettering the storage situation in there will help u feel like it’s been “designed”. You have a lot of wall space so using command strips and getting some gold metallic baskets may help tie it in with the rest of the house. Also just putting in a bigger mirror in ur bathroom will make it feel more put together I saw that the vanity mirror literally is so tiny. Also just a thought but you could buy a ton of frames and break them to then use them to frame the big geometric mirror, sort of like an eclectic frame made from a bunch of tiny ones
Damon, I think you have a phenomenally sharp eye. What you did w/this space, on that budget, is nothing short of amazing! That shot toward the end of the video (19:48) looks like it could be placed right into Vogue magazine! The table, gorgeous. The fact that you saw the beauty in that table to begin with!!!!! Then you added plants around the table for nuance. I'm in heaven. Not everybody will love it, who cares. The point is I think there's untapped talent here. Go forth and conquer. Rooting you on from the sidelines.
Loved the pictures and cuts in this and the especially interior, coming from a fellow libra design enthusiast . The computer break down was actually worth the video. Let me know if you ever want to hop on a train to Basel, Switzerland. I‘ll show you around
I like to imagine that Germany is not all too different from France and these Videos actually convince me lol. When he was like „why is the heater under the window?“ I glanced over to my heating system under my windows. Isn’t it normal? That way you either have your heater on or the window open,,, unless you wanna heat for the whole of Europe that is.
Such a great job, Damon! We love the way you set up the new crib! That frame wall is honestly the best interior design I've seen in years haha - time for me to do some thrifting...
1) you can install a curtain made of thick material (e.g. plush) over the door, it should dampen the noise from the corridor a little 2) the heater is under the window because it heats the cold air from outside (I don't know if it's just european thing)
Your apartment looks exactly like mine did when I studied abroad in the Czech Republic. That two burner no oven ass havin life 😂. Wouldnt trade it for the world though
Hey David, I’m a young American ex-pat living in Paris. My friends throw a big party once a month at the historic restaurant, La Coupole, called « les Paris Follies. » It’s really fun and an opportunity to get dressed up, drink champagne and relive Paris from the roaring 20s and crazy 30s. The theme this month is « Shanghai Palace »... If you’re interested in going, send me a dm. You won’t find a party like this anywhere else and would definitely be a change of scenery from le marais (that is, if you go there). You can also look it up on Facebook if you search for « la baronne de Paname » or « paris follies la coupole » Cheers, Maximiliano
I am 3 minutes in and I already love you! It's 3:45am and you have me cracking up. I love the space, you did a great job. And btw, the English to French is awesome!
Love love love this! A beautiful apartment that looks so personal and unique unlike a lot of RUclipsr's apartments these days (at least the Americans lol) and the editing made it even better!
Random idea to sound proof your bedroom - get some large canvas stretchers from an art store, buy some felt and then pretty fabric - Then stretch the felt over the canvas stretcher and staple it on the back. Then do the pretty fabric on top - then hang it like a large painting! Easy, stylish and cheap.
Btw, the heater is under the window for a good reason. When it's really cold outside they heat the cold that's going through glass, since glass itself is not the best isolation.
Love your videos!! I lived in one of those chambers de bonne when I was 17 (ugh!). You are an amazing spirit, persistent, resilient, creative, talented, smart and funny. And love, love your design tips! At 53, when I can afford to buy “higher end” decor, I am going to copy some of your decorating especially the framed photo/art wall! Thank you for the guidance and sharing your knowledge there. Your apartment looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your Parisian adventures with someone like me who has family responsibilities in the US and can’t pack a bag for Paris...yet!
I fantasized about living in Europe when I was in my 20s, but I did not have your courage. That was 50 years ago! I adore Paris. It is the most beautiful city I've ever visited. Continued happiness and may you have glorious adventures and wonderful memories to go along with them. Do put a few shelves on your kitchen walls on which you can put a toaster oven, a few good pots and pans, some cutlery and dishes so you can eat proper meals.

Expensive for size but this area is the equivalent of 5th av. 42nd street

He's got a strong accent;) French accent sounds differently. Wow. You Americans are so easy to impress .. So simple minded.

And I have never seen him hold an unedited converso in French with a French speaker. Edited bits and bobs here and here don't French fluency make.
he actually has a pretty normal accent. he just exaggerates it for the videos and makes it sound more midwestern

Found your channel yesterday and I’M OBSESSED
🙌🏼 WELCOME 🙌🏼
9:07 is the most French thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
And I’m here for it. 🙌🏻
Hey David, I’m a young American ex-pat living in Paris. My friends throw a big party once a month at the historic restaurant, La Coupole, called « les Paris Follies. » It’s really fun and an opportunity to get dressed up, drink champagne and relive Paris from the roaring 20s and crazy 30s. The theme this month is « Shanghai Palace »... If you’re interested in going, send me a dm. You won’t find a party like this anywhere else and would definitely be a change of scenery from le marais (that is, if you go there). You can also look it up on Facebook if you search for « la baronne de Paname » or « paris follies la coupole »
Cheers,
Maximiliano

David?? Lmao
I am 3 minutes in and I already love you! It's 3:45am and you have me cracking up. I love the space, you did a great job. And btw, the English to French is awesome!
your apartment is a dream
13:13 you can buy socket changers!!!! switches the little metal sticks to whatever your countries pattern is!!
Love love love this! A beautiful apartment that looks so personal and unique unlike a lot of RUclipsr's apartments these days (at least the Americans lol) and the editing made it even better!
Random idea to sound proof your bedroom - get some large canvas stretchers from an art store, buy some felt and then pretty fabric - Then stretch the felt over the canvas stretcher and staple it on the back. Then do the pretty fabric on top - then hang it like a large painting! Easy, stylish and cheap.
Ive never seen so much personality in such a small package lmao
I love the look of putting a bunch of staggered tall candles in the fireplace. It gives a bit of a pseudo fire look!
I'm sorry Damon, but my favorite part of your apartment is definitely the kitchen! Ps don't kick me out
BYE 🙌🏼
🤣😂
It's just so nice!! the tile is so happy
Btw, the heater is under the window for a good reason. When it's really cold outside they heat the cold that's going through glass, since glass itself is not the best isolation.
imma watch this 8 times in a row
Your apartment is gorgeous! Makes me wanna move to Paris. It is so stylish and I love how you managed the small space.
his apartment is brighter than my future
Love your videos!! I lived in one of those chambers de bonne when I was 17 (ugh!). You are an amazing spirit, persistent, resilient, creative, talented, smart and funny. And love, love your design tips! At 53, when I can afford to buy “higher end” decor, I am going to copy some of your decorating especially the framed photo/art wall! Thank you for the guidance and sharing your knowledge there. Your apartment looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your Parisian adventures with someone like me who has family responsibilities in the US and can’t pack a bag for Paris...yet!
I knew from the beginning you'd make this work big time
I fantasized about living in Europe when I was in my 20s, but I did not have your courage. That was 50 years ago! I adore Paris. It is the most beautiful city I've ever visited. Continued happiness and may you have glorious adventures and wonderful memories to go along with them. Do put a few shelves on your kitchen walls on which you can put a toaster oven, a few good pots and pans, some cutlery and dishes so you can eat proper meals.
