- Hello friends,
Today's video is a busy one! It's been so great adjusting back into my regular routine here in NYC, catching up with friends, and further decorating my apartment. I feel like December is always such a busy month so I hope that you are finding a good balance between closing things off at work/slaying your final exams/getting whatever you need to get done, and also making space for yourself and time to spend time with your loved ones. As I'm writing this, it's flurrying here in NYC and I am so happy that I can see these things from my street-facing window 😂 Hope you all enjoy!
xx,
Julia

Love the interactions between you and your bf.... especially towards the end of the video... you guys are just so comfortable with each other and not afraid to show it in your vlog, Your bf is great addition to your vlog, his commentary cracks me up and not to mention he has a soothing voice as well. Thanks for always keeping it real Julia!
Aww thank you for the kind comment! Maybe I’ll let him speak a bit more in future videos 🤔🥰
Your relationship with your bf is so playful and cute 🥺🥰 really shows that you are comfortable with each other
aww thank you! ❤ he loves this comment haha
I love this series! Seeing our generation living life, figuring things out, and working towards making big moves is heartwarming 🖤
From when you visited this appartment for the 1st time to now it really look like a completely different place! You were right to go for it!
The changes were night and day 😂😅
For the room divider, you could hang a white linen curtain to divide the beed nook and the rest of the room. I think that would make it look more smooth. At Ikea you can get a little steel wire that works as a curtain rod so when its open, you almost don't see it. Just an idea from an architecture student. Xx
Bed frame looks great! You could always get an artsy wall mounted headboard. Won’t change how far your bed sticks out, but adds that finished look. Plus, it doubles as cool wall art!
Love the video! Glad to see your home finally coming together. A nightstand in the corner where all the art pieces are next to your bed would really tie that section together 😎
100%! More additions coming in the future 😊
The angry girlfriend walk 🤣🤪🤣 Such an adorable couple & great friends. Love how the apartment is coming together. Can’t wait to see the finished kitchen! & OH Nooo… “Trash Sneakers” 🤭 LOL
Haha 🫶 kitchen reveal coming soon 👀
I love the simplistic bedframe and the room divider. Such a vibe! Your vision for this apartment is really coming to life!
You made your place so cozy and cute! Love how much natural light there is. It’s cool that you blur our faces of people in the background.
Thank you for your sweet comment 🫶
hahaha your bf surprised by the amount of make up you own is a mood. this vlog had me smiling all over. love the apt upgrades. a tv!!! very nice julia!
Aww so glad you enjoyed Larissa ❤
congrats on your new place! as someone who also lives in a medium-sized studio apartment, my suggestion to you would be to get an ottoman bed frame! now I know, I know, you literally JUST bought a bed frame, but hear me out! in a studio apartment, storage space is SO limited, so my ottoman bed is literally a life saver! right now under my bed I currently store:
- out of season clothes (winter when its summer and vice-versa);
- clean bedsheets and towels;
- empty suitcases;
- box of christmas decoration;
- various bits and bobs, like empty nintendo switch box, gift wrap tube, bubble wrap, etc.
I cannot tell you how useful my ottoman bed is, I love it so much. I got it at Ikea and not only was it cheap it also looks beautiful.
good luck with the rest of your journey making your apartment feel like home! it's a very cute place!
Your videos are my favorite!! I'm glad you have a bed frame now it made the whole space come together. I can't wait to see how everything looks once you are done!❤
Super excited about all of this- happy to see what you are building. I thought I would be most happy about the frame, but that Room Divider, I think, is the winner!! Another great vlog- thanks for sharing and inspiring!
The room divider has def grown on me!! Thank you for watching Amber ❤
You deserve more subscribers! Your content is soft and calming.
Boyfriend with a mind of his own - love it❤️
He loves this comment too 😂
Finally a bed frame! I was putting off getting one for so long too haha
🙌🏼 hope you get one soon!
Love to see you adulting and working hard! Hope you have a good weekend 🥰
You too ❤
Hi! I got so excited when I saw that you uploaded. May I suggest cutting off the bad leaves from your monstera. Usually the bad/dying leaves on plants slow down the rest of the plant from thriving.
Yes ripped them off after I finished filming 😂 ty for watching 🫶
I think an arched lamp in the corner near the bookcase / behind the couch would look AMAZING! Would also help bring some light into that corner :D
I love what you've done with the apartment in such a short time. So cute already!!! Love the vlogs 💕
Missing your videos, do you post weekly? Love your content it’s so relaxing and informative! Can’t wait for the next apt vid.
He's got a point to the makeup chair but a backrest is a must
Unfortunately did not get one with a backrest 😭😭😭
His shoes are retro. A good shoe if kept up. Oh, and your bed frame is very nice, I love the clean lines and the minimalism of it.💗
Same here! Glad it turned out well 🥰
Best part about a bed frame is under bead storage for seasonal items. Or you can get drawers for under it to use as a dresser.
Yes!! Will definitely need that extra storage space
I just stumbled upon your videos and I really love how you’ve furnished the place so far!!
New subscriber here and I am LOVING your content! Such chill vibes, relatable lifestyle and cozy editing choices. I wanted to ask, when filming in public (like the yoga class) do you usually ask the place or people if you can film in there or do you just try to casually set up your camera? I've been wanting to film parts of fitness classes and in public spaces too, but I feel SO awkward figuring out when i should ask or when I should just stealthily set something up haha thanks! 😂
Your videos make my day
This comment made my day ❤
I am soooo excited for a new vlog 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’ll just finish studying and I’ll come back and watch this while eating ❤❤❤
Good luck studying ❤
I love that you take the time to blur everyone’s faces 🌸
I really like your bed frame. I always opt for something minimalist. It looks very chic!
Yayyy glad you like it 😊
Hi!! Can't wait to watch the video ✨💚
Thank you for the support 🫶
Love the wooden bed frame, much better than mattress on the floor.
💯
You can create a faux headboard look by placing some creative coverings, faux tiles, or cushion on the wall.
There were other comments about diy headboards! Will def look into it Tyty 😊
Aaw I remember the first time I purchased my first TV. It does hit different 💜 your place is coming together nicely. Can't wait to see what else you add to the place.
I have been spending wayyy too much time with that tv lately 😅
@@juliafei Getting your money`s worth. It's too cold outside anyway 😂
the way he’s right about the makeup chair 😭
almost to 100k! :D
🤞
I have the same knife sharpener! But I feel like I don't use mine correctly because my knives are all still terrible and dull 😂 love how the apartment is shaping up, I think a lamp near your bed on a monochrome coloured stool next to the window would really pull it all together, if you keep your bed arranged the same way!
Haha I haven’t used it yet but I’ll lyk how it goes 😅 I would really love another lamp to brighten up the place!
Pfft when she blurred out her foot xD
Hey I gotta protect them ok 😂
We’re not here for the Oreo 4 slander 😤😤😤😤😤
You are obviously team boyfriend 🙄😂
@@juliafei it’s just about being on the right side of history and unfortunately for you, Oppa’s taking the W this time 😮💨
Lmao 😂😂😂 I’ll remember this…
Had to go to the comments to see where my Oreo defenders at 😆
Haha you are not alone!!
as someone who bought the exact same stool for my vanity, though it looks really cute and comfy enough, I ended up changing it for a chair with back support and its been great! lol
& it looks like we got the same table to use as a vanity haha smart choice ^^
Omg great minds think alike 🫶 ok I will have to check out the chair and see if I like it 😅
the foot blurring had to be the best part of the video LOL
You could get wall vinyl for a faux headboard maybe 🤔
Can’t wait to view your whole apartment. Looking good
Thank youuu 😊
this was so cute!!! love the vibes💗✨💌
thanks for stopping by ❤
He was correct about the make seating...
I have this exact bed frame :)
This apartment is so much better……. Good move on the bed frame
the changes are drastic 😂
Umm excuse Ma’am! Do not disrespect the Jordan 4 silhouette in the Oreo or in any color way lmao 😂
Your boyfriend has good taste in sneakers lol. That library looks beautiful and your apartment is coming along great! Looking forward to your next vlog!
OK I guess I have some subs who are Oreo lovers I get it 😂 ✋ thank you for watching 😊
Omg so excited to see you got a bedframe at last. I can rest in peace now😅
Hahah you and I both 😂
Love the bed frame!! 🥰
Me too!! ❤
love the bed frame!
thank you 😊
Proud of the bedframe moment❤
Thank you Jane 🥲🫶
where's ur couch from!
I wish I knew you were looking for those IKEA desk items since I am about an hour from you!! I have the longer desk than that one, but the same drawer and it is just sitting in my office since I got a new desk recently. 😂
Ahh! I was looking for a veryyy petite desk because space is limited 😂 hope you’re enjoying your new one!
Haha I was surprised to see the ac I have in your apt as well
i love your videos! what are you using to edit them?
I saw this DIY video last year? the lady didn't have room for a headboard so she got some peel and stick wallpaper and made an faux one that had the look of one, and covered most of it with decorative pillows
Oooo will look into this DIY and see if it fits the alcove aesthetic!
OMG we’re like the same person😂 I also recently upgraded to a queen size bed AND bought the Mellow wooden bed frame. Our beds look exactly the same, number of pillows and all white
It might be too late but I also have really small apartment so instead of tv, I got a projector and it saves sooo much space! Highly recommend
I had a projector from my last apartment but I gotta tell you - this tv is a new luxury lolll I’ve been enjoying it a bit too much 😅
LOVE the bed frame! It’s giving adult 🔥 I am genuinely curious why you don’t hang the artwork on the walls? Is it a NY city thing like with drilling in the walls?
No drilling rules for my apartment but I know there are for some other complexes! I’m just so indecisive on where to hang them 😂 I also thing laying them around is a look? Idk maybe 😅
Yay another new video!
♥️🫶
Love to see how happy you are with your boyfriend.
❤❤❤❤
I have the same bed frame. And l absolutely love it
!! Hope it’s been holding up well for you
i recently moved into a studio as well. i got myself a murphy bed. although it's quite pricey, it's well worth the investment since it can be such a great space saver. i was able to get a queen sized bed without it taking up a lot of space.
Love the intro❤🎉
Thank you Martha ❤
hi Julia, where did you get the room divider?
Linking here :) www.lichennyc.com/products/bamboo-divider
The mirror 😍
Best $60 spent tbh
my bum is officially on the internet LOL
a cute bum tho 🫢
as a fellow data scientist living in NYC, always love your videos and vibe! where's your room divider from?
Thanks emeri! Linking here :) www.lichennyc.com/products/bamboo-divider
what couch do you have?
i am so happy for you
Thank you 🥲🥰
nice bed frame,,hope it work out for you.
great fun video!
Thanks for watching 😊
Loved IKEA until I discovered Wayfair
You’ll probably want to raise the TV to eye level or it’ll hurt your neck in the long run from looking down
Yesss trying to get a tv console asap 😭
@@juliafei omgg can’t wait to see what you pick out
I don't know what cracked me up more, you calling your boyfriend "Maple Story Man" or the fact that you blurred out your feet at the end of the video😭😭😭
Hahaha he loves maple story and I gotta protect my assets ok 😂
Please, where did you get the room divider from??
Here’s the link :) www.lichennyc.com/products/bamboo-divider
i wonder how japan tastes like LOL
Where did you get your coffee table?
Got it from Amazon! Linked in my Amazon favorites in my bio 😊
@@juliafei thanks!
Hi julia
👋
did you just disrespect the oreo 4s
Monstera plant does not like air conditioning.
Don’t worry the ac’s not on!! 😂
I just found your videos and really love your content! Also appreciate you blurring out peoples faces in the backgrounds, it must take a lot of work and shows a respect for peoples privacy!
Best bf ever. 🐒🐒
🧐🤨
I want to go to ikea soo bad but it’s 5 hours away. 😢
They do delivery to some places if that’s an option 😢
@@juliafei I live in Australia and the cost of delivery is way too expensive.
Do you rent out you BF for shopping trips? I need someone like that to reel me in 😂🤣
Yea! your an adult😅 now you have a BED FRAME! ..no need for a headboard. IMHO rather get quality secondhand furniture than IKEA (better resale value) for chairs, tables, ,etc...you can find some kitsch stuff!
I want to this. I want to have your life.
I watched some of those complex sneaker videos and never judge a persons shoes, the ugliest shoe you have ever seen could be like $2000 or super rare. also you should have gotten the stool with the backrest even if you don't use it often it's alwasy better to have, you never know when you need an extra chair or whatever
Haha 100%!! I did search up his shoes and was shooketh by the resale price😅
I know everyone commenting on your bedframe already. It is super nice. Where did you get your bed from, Julia? Happy for you on your new place.
Thank you 🫶 my bed is from tuft & needle!
@@juliafei So cool. Thank you Julia. Have a blessed week.
