Kayla gives us “safety, stability & soul” with her home, from the terracotta walls to her cute kitchen and decorated bookcase mantle. What’s your favorite part of her tour? Let us know in the comments
Her home is SO beautiful. I love that it’s tailored to her in such specific ways that shows how detail-oriented and intentional she is. ❤ I also LOVE the playful shots of her pet kitty😸 This video & her home are very pleasant.
And it's accessible in that it's not all expensive, matchy-matchy, new stuff. She organically filled it with things she needs and loves. Stellar. She makes me feel more hopeful about my space!
" Lean into your story" That really resonates with me. At 52, I finally feel safe, stable and "I" am feeding my soul. Decades of co dependency and homelessness, I now have a apartment that reflects who I am. By surrounding myself with symbols of family and objecs that truly evoke who I am and will become , my space heals me. Thank you Kayla and Apartment Therapy.
I cried at the end when you talked about finally feeling like you could live an authentic life once you had your own sanctuary for it. I really, really relate to that. Absolutely wish the best for you and your home.
"Safety, stability and soul." She's absolutely right. That's why I choose to alone after my own past experiences. I can't imagine ever giving up the security of those things.
This is the best apartment therapy episode ever. The warmth and joy contained in her space is amazing. She's a beautiful soul and that shines through in her home.
You've made yourself a beautiful home, thank you for letting us have a peep inside. William Morris designed The Strawberry Thief in 1883 and it remains one of his most popular prints 😊
Her apartment truly reflects her heart and soul, genuine and warm. I throughly enjoyed watching her share her home, and I enjoyed watching her playful little kitty too. >^..^
This one was so much more than just an apt tour. It almost made me cry. Beautiful home, beautiful story. I'm also a Brooklyn native so this really resonated with me.
I love this woman - I wish her all the best in life; I’m sure she will succeed in her endeavors, and I hope we get to see her future homes! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
What a beam of light she is. This home is beautiful - so restorative and welcoming with lovely pockets for the rituals that matter. The wall colour! It's like good sustenance. She described it all so eloquently - I hope she's writing... I hear a natural writer in there. And she's come up with one of the very best layouts I've seen for so few square feet. Well done, Kayla!
Kayla has managed to have everything she needs in a warm and colorful environment. The windows and the light are a blessing in this space. Love the precious kitties.
I enjoyed the video, the young lady's journey from foster care to finding her beautiful home. Her apartment is colorful, cozy, and beautiful! It may be small, however, the way everything is laid out makes it great.
This is my favourite apartment I've ever seen on this channel. What a beautiful cozy, warm and relaxing home. I'm not even a colourful person but it all works to create such a peaceful atmosphere. This is one of those homes where you really feel the passage of time in all the things that have been collected along the way and that's what makes it so homely. Stunning
It’s fabulous, I love it! Some people have a real knack with colours, fabrics, patterns etc, and this lady is obviously very talented in that direction. She’s made an amazing use of a limited space, turning it into a warm, vibrant home
I am so inspired by this young woman. I feel privileged having had the opportunity to get to know her a little through this video. She is a treasure and a warm light. So glad Apartment Therapy brings homes of real people to the world. So many others just show millionaire homes. They cannot compare to Kayla’s home.
Gorgeous apartment! Warm, inviting and not sterile but organized!!! ❤❤❤ This is the first time I have cried this hard after an Apartment Therapy video. OMGoodness! This is an amazing, awe inspiring contribution! ♥️♥️♥️
Okay I wasn't prepared for the last couple of minutes. You can see Kayla's beautiful soul and appearance but hearing her words added a whole other layer. Something I needed to see/hear today. Thank you Kayla
When I see a place with similar dimensions and limitations as my own apartment (we even both have cats!), my heart flutters with the potential in my own place! This apartment is stunning and functional. It seems so joyful! I am taking a lot of inspiration
Home is a starting place of love and dream. There is nothing more important than a good safe and secure home. I want to be rich enough to afford to buy the best home for myself and my family
If you want to grow your net worth fast just go into foreign exchange market and stocks investing. This is what changed my life years back. I started investing with with Cryptpenant investment company with the little I had then which accumulation later was more than a million dollar before I started investing in real estate.
Ever since i lost my personal trader I lost interest in finding another one but I think it’s time I give this cryptpenant a try I’ve heard a lot about them
Kayla's apartment has wonderful light and beautiful bones, but she has made it vibrant and created that "soul" that she talks about. Beautiful job. Beautiful young woman. Beautiful home. "Being adopted is my superpower." Girl, you will go places! Never let go of your dreams. Make them real.
This is one of the best apartment therapy videos I've seen. Kayla is so creative! She has managed to create a beautiful and yet practical living space where she has found a way to fit everything that means something to her. I'm truly impressed. Watching this made me feel happy.
Love your story and how you’ve been able to show yourself through your home. “When you’ve been told no a lot in your life, makes you really wish and long for the moment that you can make a YES for yourself.” I love that, I totally relate to that. Thanks for sharing.
So many boxes ticked for me: Beautiful, colorful space, native Black NYer showing off their NY home, and highlighting the value of community and home.😍😍
This is easily one of my faves. Her voice and everything about her sanctuary is so calming. She also inspired me to purge my current space and keep the things that have sentimental value. The kitty cameos won me over too!! 💕 💕
She cultivated a beautiful home with great pieces and great use of color. I think she made very good use of the space. Her apartment really does seem to reflect her personality. She did a great job. And her little cat is a cutie.
Blessings overflow! I’m so happy you made it to this point of creating the home you wanted. Thank you for sharing. Your apartment is creative and beautiful.
This is truly my favorite apartment therapy episode. The visuals and storytelling was so engaging. Kayla is truly a gem and was perfect to close out the year with positivity and love. ❤
I salute Kayla! Her journey to this home is ammmazing and her home is genuinely unique and designed with love and purpose. She definitely hit a personal note with me in the care she placed in making herself a cup of matcha green tea and her Mark Rothko print on the wall. Her cats are adorable too.
Three things: 1.) her apartment is so well done, it looks like a joyful place to flop. 2.) she should do makeovers for other people. 3.) she should be a model, she is beautiful!
WOW, that was a fantastic video for so many reasons! Bravo! Every single inch of this place is gorgeous - literally from top to bottom. And somehow it seems SO much larger than 375 sq feet. Absolutely love the warm wall colors, William Morris strawberry thief, the old records which are actually being played, the Obama quote and jewelry spinner-stand, that beautiful bountiful couch, the scarf lamp (be careful of it getting hot, however!), and so many other details. You are amazing. I'm jealous!
LOVE everything about Kayla and her home. There is wisdom, creativity, peace, joy, and whimsy all throughout her apartment. Much soulfulness in each area of her apt. Congratulations on finding your way to YOU. Many blessings to you dear woman.
Welp, I loved this. I was impressed that you knew the provenance of all of your pieces. Once you described your experience as a youth in care I understood your need for anchoring story. You're right, your adoption IS your super power. It taught you the importance of "time and place", and that's kind of the entire point! 🥰
This is one of the best apartment therapy videos I have seen. Kayla, thanks so much for your openheartedness and honesty in speaking about yourself and what home means to you. Many blessings for home and healing.
This is a truly uplifting video, beautifully filmed too. Kayla your space, your outlook, and your precious little companion Moon ❤ pawing at the bedspread, looks like a little slice of heaven. I'm becoming a big fan of this channel.
A perfect video to watch on Jan. 1. Thank you for sharing your home with us. It is warm and joyful, and your story of describing what home means to you was quite touching. Wishing you and your adorable kitties a wonderful 2023🧡
I love Kayla's home, style and personality. A breath of fresh air. Her story resonates with me. Having your own home allows you to truly express your authentic self. You no longer have to condense who you are. My lifelong dream is to own my own home one day. I am so overjoyed and happy for her. Blessings for sharing with us 🙏 ❤
Absolutely heartwarming and inspiring. Beautiful creative expression, vulnerability, and personality. Strong storytelling skills. I feel so connected to her now. Thank youuuuu 🌟🌟💛💛💛
That terracotta color is gorgeous!! Her layout is beautiful to capture all the things she needs to do. But her story was so beautifully told!! Home does really mean so much to our spirit and well being! Thank you for sharing your soulful home with us!
I've not yet seen a more beautiful, happy, serene space than Kayla's. Absolutely gorgeous and it has heart :) It has love. It has personality. Beautiful - and when kitty looks comfy, you know you've done something right!
What a bright and brilliant soul you are Kayla. Crying in my own little sanctuary, in awe of how things really do work out sometimes. Wishing you more moments of beauty and joy in your sacred space.
Your time with the people behind the small spaces you share just gets better and better. Thank you for sharing this story and the stunning apartment! ❤️ PS - LOVE that wallpaper 😊
This is a great price for a great location! The terracotta walls are beautiful and I’m jealous of her windows. That shot at 5:24 when her cat looks up at her is just so precious ❤ Kayla exudes great energy.

She has a lovely apartment and a lovely soul!
Great looking apartment, I also live in Crown Heights. Thank you for the tour Kayla.
Definitely her dining table setup 👌 loved how many books has she made home for. Inspiring words. Undoubtedly one of ur best vid
My favorite part was when she talked about the apartment instead of talking about herself.
This is one of the best looking apartments I've ever seen on apartment therapy, period. This woman has STYLE.
And it's accessible in that it's not all expensive, matchy-matchy, new stuff. She organically filled it with things she needs and loves. Stellar.
She makes me feel more hopeful about my space!
@@emills767 definitely. Totally agreed!
@purplecurves @E Mills perioooOOOOD
I could not agree more.
❤❤❤❤❤
It is not just that she showed us her great apartment - she shared some of her story. I also enjoyed seeing her cat pop in and out occasionally!
" Lean into your story" That really resonates with me. At 52, I finally feel safe, stable and "I" am feeding my soul. Decades of co dependency and homelessness, I now have a apartment that reflects who I am. By surrounding myself with symbols of family and objecs that truly evoke who I am and will become , my space heals me. Thank you Kayla and Apartment Therapy.
Congratulations on creating your own safe, stable Home ✨💫
I'm 54 & finally at the same place in life you are for much of the same situations. Congrats!
@@HappyTailsandHappyTrails Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Congrats! I'm 47 and I'm working on it
Congratulations on your new home and your new and ever evolving life!!! 🙌🏽🙏🏾
She's lovely. Her space reflects that.
I cried at the end when you talked about finally feeling like you could live an authentic life once you had your own sanctuary for it. I really, really relate to that. Absolutely wish the best for you and your home.
I also cried, and can relate. Sending warm blessing to you and Happy New Year! ✨
Ditto!!
Me too! What a beautiful soul 💖
Give this woman a show or a book deal. Love her home, her story and what she had to say 💕
Yes I am where is she, how can I find her follow her lol
I agree, she has an interesting outlook on life.!
pff
@Choupette and Tatiana, Calico and Human lassitude
She's really lovely.
"Safety, stability and soul." She's absolutely right. That's why I choose to alone after my own past experiences. I can't imagine ever giving up the security of those things.
This is the best apartment therapy episode ever. The warmth and joy contained in her space is amazing. She's a beautiful soul and that shines through in her home.
I so agree with you!
Just beautiful!!
You've made yourself a beautiful home, thank you for letting us have a peep inside.
William Morris designed The Strawberry Thief in 1883 and it remains one of his most popular prints 😊
I thought it was a William Morris design too. It's so well know and beautiful 😍
Oops! Silly me, she does actually cite William Morris in the video.
I have had a lifelong obsession with William Morris prints that I know I’ll never grow out of❤
I love the color palette she put together in this apartment. It is a joyful space and the kitty cat agrees.
Her apartment truly reflects her heart and soul, genuine and warm. I throughly enjoyed watching her share her home, and I enjoyed watching her playful little kitty too. >^..^
She’s incredible. She has an peaceful aura. Wishing her nothing but continued success ❤
This one was so much more than just an apt tour. It almost made me cry. Beautiful home, beautiful story. I'm also a Brooklyn native so this really resonated with me.

Kayla has managed to have everything she needs in a warm and colorful environment. The windows and the light are a blessing in this space. Love the precious kitties.
This one brought tears. So much joy and authenticity in this compact space-the colors, the light, the decor, and the dancing fit perfectly 🧡
It feels bigger than the square footage because of how she laid everything out. I also love the wall color choice. Beautiful design.
The moment when she talked about the neighbors, so warm 🥺
I enjoyed the video, the young lady's journey from foster care to finding her beautiful home. Her apartment is colorful, cozy, and beautiful! It may be small, however, the way everything is laid out makes it great.
This is my favourite apartment I've ever seen on this channel. What a beautiful cozy, warm and relaxing home. I'm not even a colourful person but it all works to create such a peaceful atmosphere. This is one of those homes where you really feel the passage of time in all the things that have been collected along the way and that's what makes it so homely. Stunning
Not only a gorgeous apartment, cozy, inviting and with a strong feeling of safety... but this woman also breaths the same values!
“Safety, Stability, and Soul” love it! That’s what home should mean for everyone and if it’s not all those things, you’re not home yet.
It’s fabulous, I love it! Some people have a real knack with colours, fabrics, patterns etc, and this lady is obviously very talented in that direction. She’s made an amazing use of a limited space, turning it into a warm, vibrant home
this is such an emotional apartment tour. i loved hearing her story and wisdom and philosophy on her home. it was beautiful! incredible woman!
I am so inspired by this young woman. I feel privileged having had the opportunity to get to know her a little through this video. She is a treasure and a warm light. So glad Apartment Therapy brings homes of real people to the world. So many others just show millionaire homes. They cannot compare to Kayla’s home.
This woman is such a beautiful soul! Thank you for sharing her story and her sanctuary. ❤️❤️❤️
I genuinely love this apartment, she was so thorough with the design project
Gorgeous apartment! Warm, inviting and not sterile but organized!!! ❤❤❤ This is the first time I have cried this hard after an Apartment Therapy video. OMGoodness! This is an amazing, awe inspiring contribution! ♥️♥️♥️
Same here!!!
I love her she's beautiful and intelligent and I love what she's done to her dwelling. May joy and happiness follow her always.
Okay I wasn't prepared for the last couple of minutes. You can see Kayla's beautiful soul and appearance but hearing her words added a whole other layer. Something I needed to see/hear today. Thank you Kayla

If you want to grow your net worth fast just go into foreign exchange market and stocks investing. This is what changed my life years back. I started investing with with Cryptpenant investment company with the little I had then which accumulation later was more than a million dollar before I started investing in real estate.
I hear about that company from (US SEC)How can i get to them?
On telelegram app
Thanks for this insight I appreciate and I’ll try them out definitely
Ever since i lost my personal trader I lost interest in finding another one but I think it’s time I give this cryptpenant a try I’ve heard a lot about them
Kayla's apartment has wonderful light and beautiful bones, but she has made it vibrant and created that "soul" that she talks about. Beautiful job. Beautiful young woman. Beautiful home. "Being adopted is my superpower." Girl, you will go places! Never let go of your dreams. Make them real.
Wow, she has accomplished so much and achieved a beautiful life. Adoption is her super power… how beautiful
What a story this is - what a strong yet soft woman Kayla is 💕
One of my all-time favorites. So many different things and styles blended together to create the most beautiful lived-in tapestry.
Her beautiful energy and love is everywhere in this gorgeous apartment.
I was mesmerised from the start. What a beautiful home Kayla has made for herself. I love all the colours. Her home made me feel uplifted.
This is one of the best apartment therapy videos I've seen. Kayla is so creative! She has managed to create a beautiful and yet practical living space where she has found a way to fit everything that means something to her. I'm truly impressed. Watching this made me feel happy.
Beautiful soul. I am happy to see your peace, freedom and joyful dance.
Love your story and how you’ve been able to show yourself through your home. “When you’ve been told no a lot in your life, makes you really wish and long for the moment that you can make a YES for yourself.” I love that, I totally relate to that. Thanks for sharing.
This damn near made me cry. What a wonderful house tour... Thank you Kayla for welcoming AT and its viewers into your beautiful space and story.
So many boxes ticked for me: Beautiful, colorful space, native Black NYer showing off their NY home, and highlighting the value of community and home.😍😍
Kayla is just as magical as her apartment, a true survivor and an inspiration. What an incredible human being!
Love Kayla's spirit and energy! She's beautiful inside & out and her home definitely reflects that.❤️🏡
This is easily one of my faves. Her voice and everything about her sanctuary is so calming. She also inspired me to purge my current space and keep the things that have sentimental value. The kitty cameos won me over too!! 💕 💕
There is something so soothing about her space including her voice. Really nice!
IMO, it's amazing how so many New Yorkers can provide so much beauty with limited space. And Kayla did this to perfection!! 👏🏽❤️❤️❤️👏🏽
She cultivated a beautiful home with great pieces and great use of color. I think she made very good use of the space. Her apartment really does seem to reflect her personality. She did a great job. And her little cat is a cutie.
Such a creative pretty young lady! Love her style, the way she decorated her apartment & her cat is so cute!
This by far is my most favorite house tour! What a wonderful story... thank you for sharing it with us.
I cried at the end. The apartment is wonderful….it is the story of the woman who lives there. She is a beautiful soul.❤️
You are a beautiful young lady inside & out. I wish you much Peace & Love in all your future endeavors. Thank you for inviting us into your home.
I love her apartment but boy, I sure do love HER too! She’s inspiring ❤
Blessings overflow! I’m so happy you made it to this point of creating the home you wanted. Thank you for sharing. Your apartment is creative and beautiful.
Love her ora and energy. You can feel it from the screen. Lovely apartment
This is truly my favorite apartment therapy episode. The visuals and storytelling was so engaging. Kayla is truly a gem and was perfect to close out the year with positivity and love. ❤

I am very impressed not by just the apartment, but by the way, she presents herself very well said.Thank you
What a wonderful soul this woman is. The apartment is cheerful and inviting. Great job Kayla.
Love this young woman's style. She's gorgeous, and so is her apartment.
Simply beautiful. The apartment and the woman both. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into a beautiful home and life!
OMG!!!! The wall painting and wallpaper just blend sooooo well with the room decor. Her personality just shines through her home and it's awesome❤🎉.
Welp, I loved this. I was impressed that you knew the provenance of all of your pieces. Once you described your experience as a youth in care I understood your need for anchoring story. You're right, your adoption IS your super power. It taught you the importance of "time and place", and that's kind of the entire point! 🥰
Beautiful home, person, and kitty ❤️ Brooklyn loveee

This home was worth the wait. Very good style. Classy lady.

gets my vote for perhaps the very BEST apartment in this whole series! unbelievable job she did :D
This is one of the most thought provoking, deep AT I’ve seen. And how her home is a depiction of her life experiences. ❤
Absolutely heartwarming and inspiring. Beautiful creative expression, vulnerability, and personality. Strong storytelling skills. I feel so connected to her now. Thank youuuuu 🌟🌟💛💛💛
Kayla's space radiates her warmth and creativity. I love that she shares her community in Brooklyn and her place is rich and happy.
That terracotta color is gorgeous!! Her layout is beautiful to capture all the things she needs to do. But her story was so beautifully told!! Home does really mean so much to our spirit and well being! Thank you for sharing your soulful home with us!
I've not yet seen a more beautiful, happy, serene space than Kayla's. Absolutely gorgeous and it has heart :) It has love. It has personality. Beautiful - and when kitty looks comfy, you know you've done something right!
Kayla is a very vibrant woman! She has great energy. I love how she styled her apartment. Love the colors she used and the wallpaper.
This home tour made me cry! She has so much depth and wisdom. Love that she got her happy home ending.
Your home is truly your castle! I love it!
Amazing color and design- you have a true gift for decorating. And I am super impressed with all your storage solutions.
Love the gorgeous place you have made for yourself!
This is now one of my favorite Apartment Therapy videos.
Profound wisdom, style, and beauty. Best wishes Kayla on your personal journey. Thank you for sharing your home and beautiful cat.
What a bright and brilliant soul you are Kayla. Crying in my own little sanctuary, in awe of how things really do work out sometimes. Wishing you more moments of beauty and joy in your sacred space.
I just love her energy. Great job on decorating your home and making it your own. 😍
So much light radiates from this young lady and from her apartment. I hope her light continues to shine 2 years on...
Your time with the people behind the small spaces you share just gets better and better. Thank you for sharing this story and the stunning apartment! ❤️ PS - LOVE that wallpaper 😊
Kayla and the home she's curated radiates a calm and grounded energy, I can watch this video over and over and tire of it. Beautiful soul, namaste. 🙏
This is a great price for a great location! The terracotta walls are beautiful and I’m jealous of her windows. That shot at 5:24 when her cat looks up at her is just so precious ❤ Kayla exudes great energy.
I love that shot there’s nothing like a animal ❤️
Beautiful soul with a space to match!
She was very intentional about this project and I love every bit of it
