Yo, FTC! These products were all purchased by me, playaaaa. Fosho. I'm so gangsta I don't need companies to pay me for videos. Which I didn't in this video, capishe? Is that even how you spell that? Have an unforgettable day. And remember, this is always my honest opinion. Over and out.
honestly it's so refreshing to watch a RUclipsr living a normal life and not living in a million-dollar apartment (even tho I'm sure you could ) Thanks kristee :')
Dhelia Ocean I was honestly thinking the same thought through out the entire video. Kristee is just one of those youtubers who is herself and completely humble. She is real!! I love it haha
I have a feeling even if she could afford it she is too smart to put her money into a million dollar house that she doesnt plan on living in forever. Which is fantastic to see. Mortgages are no joke and there are 18 year olds with million dollar homes, I can only picture a channel dying off and their RUclips career is falling apart and they are stuck with a million dollar house they cant afford to pay for anymore. 🤦🏼♀️
I’m pretty sure tho this apartment isn’t cheap as well. That’s NY for ya. It is refreshing to see how independent she is.
I really admire the fact that many people would be so stressed with studying abroad, moving, and figuring out all of these small details and feel overwhelmed but you truly embrace these things and just have such a positive outlook. Congrats on your new place! You are more than deserving girl ❤️
Yeah she's lucky she doesn't have to worry about much of it like 90% of us do
@@KourttneyL ?
Smoke And Quills what’s your question?
@@KourttneyL what do you mean?
Please make videos shopping for your new place!! Even if it’s just online shopping- I love videos like these ❤️
keepit_heavenly i second this!
keepit_heavenly agreed!!
My biggest piece of advice is use the vertical space as much as possible. You have such beautiful high ceilings! The ikea Pax wardrobe unites go up to 96 inches (ish) and are a life savor for extra storage. If you can afford it, a Murphy bed/couch combo is awesome - makes your place feel like a living space during the day and a bedroom at night. Have so much fun moving in and decorating!
Yes!!! I have the pax wardrobe and it literally saved my life when I lived in my studio! With hanging space and shelves. I also bought the 6 cube storage and put it long ways and its perfect for additional clothes, towels, linen etc with the foldable material "boxes" in it! I've moved twice since I bought both and the wardrobe is still so so convenient.
It’s so crazy to see you grow up before my eyes! I watched you before you went to college and kept watching when I got to college. Now I’m a senior graduating next year and changing careers - can’t wait to see where life takes both of us!! So happy for you girl!
I think you should do floating shelves for spices/decor or even mugs or plates above the stoves! It could be v cute
Love how humble & real you are. Most youtubers would be like "eww, throw this in the garbage" when they saw the shower rack & silver wear holder. You're just like "One less thing I have to buy".
Putting your microwave on top of the fridge may add more cabinet space!
Fellow New Yorker here! Loveeee your place😍😍 my best advice is to spray for roaches/ set traps right away hahaha! Then furnish!
Morgan Michos yes! And make sure to throw out the trash each night and wash your dishes because those roaches will come sooo quick in the buildings!!
Especially because it looks like she's first floor!! Fill in any gaps you can find with caulk or steel wool to prevent roaches and other little pests....don't leave dirty dishes in the sink!
Fill all the holes! 1st floor - get ahead of it.
This vid was so humble it warms my heart, you’re a real one Kristee! And congrats!
Please please please put your desk in that little 49 inch nook and not in the middle of the wall so it's not the focal point of the room... then in the middle of the wall get a small loveseat/couch with a rug underneath and a small coffee table. Maybe get a different bed frame (I think a daybed would be nice, because they take up less space and are like having a second couch).
You need to change your description!! No longer a grad student living in DC
Definitely get some over toilet storage! My bathroom in my apartment is so inconvenient and poorly designed but once I got the storage unit to go above the toilet it changed my life. It sounds so stupid but I was so frustrated with it and then it became so much better and relieved so much stress. But anyway yay! Congrats on the new place and the new chapter!!
Maybe to be more space efficient you could get one of the high beds with a desk underneath like IKEA has! Your new lil place is so cute
Hannah Lou hopefully she won't need a desk now that she's not a student!
Definitely recommend over the door hooks/storage as well as an over the toilet one! I have 5 over the door in mine lol, 4 with regular hooks for coats, bags, bulky sweaters, etc., and one with bars in my bathroom so that I have somewhere to hang my towel! It's definitely an adjustment getting everything organized in a small space, but moving things in/buying stuff in stages definitely helps so that you're not overwhelmed with where to put everything at once
Make sure that little above the sink spot has an outlet in it before you buy a microwave for that space. The cord won’t stretch all the way out and down the wall.
Kristee your studio apartment is so cute and adorable.
Drink every time Kristee says "I can't believe it", "Im so excited" or "this is so exciting" lmfao love you girl
Brooklyn born & raised here, welcome & congrats on your apartment! It's totally adorable and there is SO much you can do with the space. Just a heads up, research before exploring different Brooklyn neighborhoods. You'd be surprised how quickly you can go from "good" to "bad".
Love your apartment! I used to live in NYC and they make cabinets you can put over your radiator (more storage) YAY!
They sell door organizers that you can screw into the door. Also with your top shelf i would get those stackable drawer organizers or add another shelf if you can. Definitely under the bed storage. But find furniture that has multiple functions to maximize space and storage.
You should definitely get a second rod for your closet! You can get a clothing rod that hangs on hanger/hook things from your existing rod to create a lower level! And my friend who lives in a NY studio has one of those over-the-toilet shelving racks that she puts over her heating unit! So that way the heat can circulate but then she can use the space above it for storage! And ikea makes super narrow bathroom cabinets as well as storage carts and drawer units so you could definitely take advantage of all the tiny spaces like in the bathroom etc! I've been watching since you were in high school, I can't wait to follow your journey to NY! :) xoxo
You should think about getting a loft bed. And in your kitchen you should put floating shelfs on that wall and maybe think about putting your microwave above the fridge and use that cutout as more storage. Well that’s what I would do, just some suggestions.
You should try your bed coming out from the bumped out wall with the radiator. That way you can use all the drawers and it takes up less wall space. Then you might be able to put a love seat under the window and a tall dresser on the wall next to the bed by the kitchen
I know you already have a bed but it would be kinda cute if you get a sofa bed and use the dresser as a TV stand. And a mini table on the mini 49" wall.
Kristee Vetter: most relatable youtuber ever!!!!! We love your normalcy Kristee
My apartment is smaller then yours... the good thing is you don’t need a real desk cause you finished college 🤔 you can get a big plastic „bowl“ for doing your dishes and put a dresser at the end of the bed so you don’t fall into you bed from the door... it makes a little entry way.
Omg you are too cute!!! You’re apartment is awesome! I find that simple ad ons like rugs and curtains really make a difference
I’m so so so happy for you!! I’ve legit been watching you since we were in high school(we’re the same age lol) !! I’ve seen you grow soo much and I feel like we’re friends.
Good luck and congrats 🎉 on the new apartment!
If you want to divide the room I would get a kallax shelf from ikea so you can store stuff as well as divide, you can also put boxes in that shelf!
You are SO independent girl it is unreal... I have been watching you since you were in like grade 11. Thank you for ALWAYS showing ME (because God only knows I need it) & so many other young women that you CAN do all of these hard things all by yourself!!!! Keep striving you are LIVING 👏🏼
I look like an absolute fool smiling at the tv but I’m just so excited that you’re excited! Lol “one less thing I have to buy” - don’t forget shelf risers for the kitchen cabinets to maximize your vertical space. I’m also convinced they did the bare minimum cleaning because why is there a used bar of soap left behind?! lol
I’m living vicariously through you😂 I have always wanted to live in New York just like you said you have so you’re also giving me hope that it’ll happen eventually. I always think that I’m 21 and I’m running out of time to do what I want and move where I want and travel so you’re videos give me faith that I still have time to do all the things I wanna do☺️
So excited to see how the apartment turns out! You can officially update your description box to living in NYC 🤩
I moved into my apartment Jan 4th- 1. Because it was a new year and 2. Because it was just a few days after my birthday. I moved in on my own and literally the best feeling has been me just coming home and realizing that I’m doing this living on my own thing and that the space is mine and that I’m doing okay and I love it. It’s almost August and it feels like just yesterday. A lot of folks say renting is dead money but I really don’t care- living on your own is an experience and how you feel about having your own space is priceless. Watching your videos lately reminds me of how excited I was and just how much I love the journey . You’d be fine and it’s going to be great! So excited and happy for you, can’t wait for vlogs to coommmeeeeeeee !
Rugs will help it feel more cozy. And making the best use of vertical space for your storage needs. There are a ton of wonderful ideas on Pinterest for how to make the most of limited storage space.
Fairy lights mirrors and hanging plants that don’t take up floor space! I think where you want your bed is the best spot and love the idea of that little cozy nook for a sitting space. If I lived alone I would love to live there! Congrats!! -❤️ your fan for years that never comments 😊
Definitely curtains for that main window, looks like it’s street level
vertical storage is KEY in nyc! im in queens and trust me, it's the best way to get the most of your (limited) square footage
For the space I have a few suggestions, I say sell the bed you have and get the ikea day bed with storage, so it serves a few purposes, it can a)obviously be a bed but b) if you put it with the back against the wall by the door you’ll have a couch thing as well as a bed and it has drawers so you have some extra space, and then you can either sleep with it in the twin/full size or it pulls out to be the bigger size. The next thing I would recommend would be to then in front of it get a lift top coffee table because then you could have something that when sitting is table height and it has storage underneath, and put felt pads on the coffee table so it can slide easily if you want the bed to be pulled out. Then in the corner with out the heater put your mirror and mount it to bring the eye up. I definitely agree with everyone on using the vertical space, you have great high ceilings use them. And then put your desk under the window and if you still feel like you need a dresser get a little one or one of the 6-cube organizers from target for $30 and put it on the popped out section of the wall so the you can use it as both a dresser with the boxes that you can buy as well as a place for decor or a tv unit. Those are my suggestions for make a small place a that can feel like a living room during the day and a bedroom at night.
I feel like 99% of youtubers would be so intimidating/rude to meet in person, but I feel like Kristee would be so chill and nice haha. I am LIVING through these vlogs, it’s a dream to live in NYC one day!!!!
Anyone else dying to know how much she pays for rent??? This place is SO cute and perfect for a single person! I would love to move to NYC😭😍
i am dying to know as well. nyc is my dream
Tell us Kristee!!
I've seen some apartments their for a 1 bedroom be $2500 a month... so since its a studio it could be about the same or slightly less. But NYC is known for being an expensive city though. But I guess people can make it work for them if you find a good deal on a place like she found. You have to get what's right for you though. Same here! I'd love to move their for a while someday too.
I would say around $2000 a month at least
I live in a studio like hers in Queens for $1500. My chance is that all utilities are included which is RARE to find. Therefore, NYC is for short term for me. By end of 2020, I know I will be out for good lol
Buy steel wool (you can find them in discount stores) or steel wool pads and stuff them into any open holes you see especially around your radiator and under the kitchen sink. You want to keep out any rodents. If you have large open areas your landlord should close them up. Also set some roach baits. Just for prevention. Sanitize everything esp the kitchen and bathroom. Don’t get into the trap of going to all of the trendy grocery stores. Target, dollar tree is great for cleaning supplies, etc. Good luck and congrats!!!
Monica P I agree with all of this! I’m also from Brooklyn. I was screaming internally when she put her bath mat down lol I would have bleached the crap outta that place before I moved in 😩🤣
Heather Marie lmao right!!!
You should put the microwave on top of the fridge then you can use the cut out area for your blender or other bench stuff so you can have more bench space
I know you already have a bed and so you probably wouldn't get a new one, but something I thought of was getting a Murphy bed, (or even DIYing a Murphy bed like situation) that way you can really convert the space between bedroom and into more living room/dining space, especially if you want people over every now and then, because your apartment is so small. When I was in college the residence hall I was in had Murphy beds in our apartments, and I was going to art school so I really needed space to get work done and having a murphy bed made it really easy to just wake up, make my bed and put it up so that it took up like 1/6 of the space it did before and I got all my floor space back, to not feel so cramped, but also still got to have a double bed and enjoy that aspect.
A shelf above the toilet (bed bath and beyond has them) is PERFECT for small bathrooms! Also maybe try to put your microwave on top of your fridge instead and use that leafy wallpapered space for other storage. You have a great space so I know you're gonna make it work!! (Fellow Brooklyn girl here who knows how hard it can be to make the most out of a small apartment lol).
We need a vlog by vlog documentation on how you're going to fill that space in ❤️❤️
Like we need shopping vlogs ans IG/Twitter polls lol we are the most intrusive audience and we want your place to look extra nice 😂❤️
So for clothes storage in the closet of the landlord is ok with it( I did this in my last place) raise the shelf and the bar to the top. Plus section off one small side for longer dresses and then spilt the other side to hang tops and pants like a t-shape. It’s was only about $200 to do on my own. I used the closet maid system ( which you can order online and customize to fit. you only need a drill. I left it behind and the landlord was totally fine with it cause it was a free improvement for them lol. I lived there for 3 years so the investment was totally worth it
For a small space I’d get rid of a desk and have a coffee table that pulls up as a desk. I work from home and recently made the change and it made me go out and work outside my home! I have a spot for all my work files and job stuff in my closet!!
The design on the walls is everything!!
So so exciting!! Your place is the perfect size for a single person. I don't think I could live in NYC full time but would definitely like to experience maybe a few months living there.
I’m in CT and love moving/new apt vlogs... I searched and found you. You are adorable and your new apt is so cute! Looking forward to seeing how you decorate and “getting to know you”.
Maybe switch to a day bed that can be put on risers to make more under the bed storage space and double as seating during the day with lots of throw pillows on it? And you are gonna have to utilize the vertical space and over the door space as much as possible. But it’s gonna be great! Congrats again!
Depending on how you want to utilize your space, there are some really cute clothing rack and clothing rack/shelving units on Amazon and Ikea. On Amazon there's a SUPER cute one called "IRIS Metal Garment Rack with Wood Shelves" that I am DEFINITELY buying when i move into my next place
I LOL'ed at the "one big room full of bad b's" you are tooo funny! Congratulations on your new home, it is honestly so exciting to follow your journey from high school through grad school and now literally your adult life!
put your bed sticking out from the wall by the door - if it helps save space, mount your tv and put your desk under the tv
Your studio is super cute. I love the layout. You have so much kitchen storage.
I totally recommend the oatly oat milk in the grey packaging for your coffee! I don’t know what it’s called in English but in Swedish (where oatly is from), it’s called “ikaffe”!
I clicked so fast. I am so happy for you !
I've watched your videos for a really long time and seeing this made me so happy for you! You always inspire me and motivate me with your positivity and cheerfulness! It was so awesome to see this video as my wife and I are also moving into our first place together tomorrow! (Haven't lived together technically because she's from a different country but we've spent more than half the time together, lol its complicated) 😂 but thank you for helping me stay positive and my wife and I look forward to more of your moving in vlogs! 💜
I knew you were going to choose this apartment. I think if you can get a day bed, and then you would have a more open living area. I think the shelf above the sink could be good for decor or food instead of a microwave. I am excited to see how you decorate your new space!
Congrats on your own apartment! I can't wait to watch your New York City vlogs Kristee ✨ Also maybe for the closet you could put a command hook on it (on the door), and get a hanging shoe storage thing with a hanger already on it. So that way it's not a over the door one. Those have always worked pretty well for me. Sometimes you can easily put them in closets on the clothing rod/rack too. ✨
An Idea would be to double your dresser as your tv stand.
I can't wait for exploration vlogs!! Sending you lots of luck for the job you applied for as well!!
i used to live in a teeny studio apartment in toronto - highly recommend checking out all the small space info on apartment therapy's website; and find ways to divide the space whether that's putting a couch in the middle of the room, a book shelf divider, a curtain - helps make it feel like multiple spaces. make use of the walls and the tall ceilings and make sure to build things upwards - tall shelves, hooks, etc. don't be afraid of big furniture or making it your own with art/plants/travel souvenirs. nothing is impossible with a small space!
I can’t wait to see how cozy it looks once you have your furniture. There’s something about the layout that makes the size seem totally normal! I love it!
"One big room full of bad bitches" hells yeah girl. So happy you're living your dreams! I hope it's everything you ever wanted and more! Good luck with job findings! Love the little apartment, so much potential
WELCOME TO NEW YORK
I remember moving to NYC for the first time and I'm in tears over seeing you put your first items in the flat... this video matches my exact emotions about moving there, rock on Kristee! Eat the city, don't let the city eat you xx
i love continuing to follow your life’s journey! i’ve been around since you were in high school, and i’m so proud of everything you’ve done since then! i’m that chick that has commented countless times that we would totally be friends in real life, because you’re so similar to me lol. congrats on your first NY apartment!!! this is so exciting and i can see the glow all over your face! :)
A släkt bed from Ikea with the storage underneath would be a good idea, you can have all your clothes there so you wouldn’t need a dresser! That would save a lot of space!
I almost dropped my laptop clicking to get here once to notif came 😂
Chelsey Freeman same lol
Kristee I’m seriously so excited for you! I’ve been here since your first moving vlogs from Oregon and I can’t wait to see what you do with your new NYC apartment!
Nice apartment. I like the layout. I see a round cafe table at the corner by the kitchen. Tres chic...
So excited to see how your life plays out in New York!! I want to live there after college and I can’t wait to see all your adventures!
kristee! fellow oregonian in new york here. you should definitely consider getting another trash can for your kitchen with a locked lid and save the trash can that's installed in the cabinet for recycling. trash cans without lids are not good if you're trying to keep pests out! i've had much better success with a lidded trash can :)
nice appartment, congrats on it, I live in boston area and was in nyc month ago, it was so humid especially in subway
Dude I’m so happy for u!! Your energy in NYC is radiant and infectious I am so excited to watch your new life in NYC!
I love it! You'll never forget your first place in NYC! I love that this is more like what moving to NYC is realistically like- a tiny, older, apartment, but all that you need. You'll really appreciate getting that experience. Good luck with moving in! You should check out LilyLike, she actually used to live in DC but now I think moved to LA. She had a tiny studio in DC and really made it beautiful and unique, it would be good inspiration! You actually have a bigger kitchen than I would have expected in a studio like that and a full sized fridge is so nice! I have the same cabinet situation, but honestly living on my own it has only taught me to just keep on hand what I need.
Wow this is so exciting!! I’m moving on Thursday to a bigger city area alone, but I’m so excited about my apartment! I can’t wait to thrift and upcycle a ton of my stuff... I’m even thinking about starting a channel about it lol. You have such a cute little studio I’m obsessed!
Also get someone to cut a piece of wood larger than your sink so you can use that as a large cutting board without losing counter space
yay!! I think the space is awesome, so happy for you & this new adventure.
omg congrats on getting the studio! this was my favorite as well lol. i am so happy for you, what an exciting time 🙌🏻💕
...also omg love young the giant 🥰🎶
Command hooks can hold the behind the door show organizers. I have a show organizer in every room of my house (bathroom, bedroom, and nursery)
I have a really cute blush pink chair from world market called the tyley chair that would look so cute in that corner with a little marble side table and maybe like a pouf or something! It’s still available on their website and comes in other colors!
This is so exciting! I still remember when you moved into your first college dorm and how exciting it was and now you have this cute studio all to yourself in a new place! I have loved watching your journey and I can't wait for the next installment to see how you're decorating and placing stuff. I would suggest definitely using your high ceilings to your advantage and installing some kind of storage above (if your landlord lets you), so that you're using the space to its full potential since there isn't a lot of storage and floor space. Also a clothing rack might be something you could look into, if you think it might be able to fit somewhere. And it could also be a cute aesthetic :)
Girl go on amazon and look up mounted desks and tables. They fold up into itself and you can hang them to the wall. Maybe for that corner with the sectional you could mount a table to the wall instead of using floor space. Get creative, I love looking at tiny living space ideas.
you can get a loft bed with a desk underneath.
I feel like the wall you said was your nook should be for your dresser and the longer wall should have a small love seat and your desk can be office desk and dining? Idk lol...I'm excited to see you set it up
Have you looked at Refinery29’s Sweet Digs series?! Might give you a bunch of ideas of how to decorate for NYC living!
But also like obsessed with this new phase in your life 😍
i think u should get a smaller bed so u can save space for a little living area maybe ❤️
Reading comments it’s like you have a lot of us who have watched your journey from college to now, you are doing amazing in life it’s so great to see
Your happiness make me happy 😃 I really enjoy that you are loving your new adventure. I been watching you from the beginning and I just think you are one of the most genuine people on RUclips. Send you tons of love 💗
Can you paint in there? I am not sure you would want to, but I think it would be cool to paint in between the molding on the wall for a fun pop of color! Congrats on your new apartment!!
Yes so happy for you! I’d love to see decor hauls, grocery hauls and updated apartment tours!
“I got these sausages. My Airbnb didn’t have a microwave and neither do I so one day I’ll eat them.” Gosh I love you Kristee. 😂
i’m obsessed with your life
You made me happy because you were so happy for you new apartment. I had to follow you.
That seems to be just the lease. They should be sending you a thicker envelope with what's basically a resident handbook. I suggest you read that because your neighbors sometimes come up with wildest things.
I just moved last week, so I’m excited for you to decorate the place!
