  • apartment tour of my 300 square foot very small studio apartment and how I decorate my small space. I've done quite a few updates in the last year and wanted to do an updated version.
    I love watching apartment tours on youtube and thought it would be fun to share mine. Come snoop around my place.
    here trying to improve my video editing and share a bit of what I get up to as a freelance graphic designer/small business owner (pls be nice I’m learning).

      Hello Katrina love your studio apartment. I lve in a studio also a solution for your couch 🛋️. Just take a couple of blankets and fold them together and put under your cushion to bring it up to level with the other cushion . Blessings

    For a small place, I think you did an amazing job of fitting in what you need- and arranging it in a very pleasing manner. I absolutely love that you have a dog in a small place, too! I feel I can comment on this as I lived in small studio apartments for 26 years in Manhattan. I have a larger one bedroom now but I liked my time in studios. I like that you can see the whole place at a glance and I find them cozy. 🌺💐🌸

      @@katrina.l I’m absolutely sure you take the best care of your dog and I really admire anyone who has a pet and cares for it, as I’m a big animal rights activist. ( I have 2 senior cats I adopted!) and I think your dog is lucky to have you and it doesn’t matter at all that it’s a small place. You’re giving him the most important thing- love! And great job with your place, it’s terrific.

    300 Sq ft is not as small as you think, I lived in a 325 sq feet studio for years, and miss it everyday. The trick is to buy items that can do more than one thing. I had a beautiful vintage hope chest that was my "coffee table" and storage for linen. My landlord was very open to my decorating and painting as long as it was respectful. I was very lucky!!

  • @wpeters4361

    You did a good job, bathroom can be painted white, brighten it up and it's good you have windows in the kitchen and bathroom. You could ask the landlord to smooth out the walls in the bathroom. Cute dog

    It is hard to find appropriate decoration items for so small apartment, but you have good ideas. This bathroom needs a beautiful poster that brings you more fun in that boring wall, and you can paint the mirror frame, or better cover the little drawer door with some interesting stick paper...if you choose a color range...it coul be a great change!

  • @kejean12

    You have a lovely home and I love that you turned the bed - it does open up the space. I also appreciate your family heirlooms. It's nice to see spaces that aren't decorated only with Ikea. I'm downsizing next year and hoping I can purge enough of my stuff to go small. I worry that my doggie will have trouble adjusting - she's a 22 lb American cocker spaniel. Seeing Hank lounging there gives me hope she'll do the same.

    • @katrina.l

  • @dawnsmith4275
    @dawnsmith4275 Рік тому +7

    Nice apartment! In NYC it would cost 3 - 4x as much (if we're talking US$). Your color scheme and decor look relaxing. Putting your office in the alcove makes sense - keeps your office out of your bedroom/living room. Maybe you could design or purchase some pretty vinyl stickers for your bathroom wall? Some are tacky, but I've seen some classier ones too. Your dog is adorable. My daughter is also named Katrina 😊 I would love if she could find a place like this 😀 Be well, stay safe, enjoy!

    • @katrina.l
      @katrina.l  Рік тому +1

  • @sarahholland2600

    It's so cute. Re the sofa , go online for factory direct upholstery foam cut to size. You can add a long piece under both cushions or split it & put inside the cushions ( if they have zip covers). Either works.

    • @katrina.l
      @katrina.l  Рік тому +2

      the cushions are built into the couch so I'd have to look into it but that's a really good idea! thanks 🙂

    🤗 Sweet 'lil shelter 🌸. Hank looks happy too🦴. Like how you oriented everything 🔁 & maximized storage 📚. You were quite clever with your furnishings, belongings, & business. Overall, it's charming, cosy, & inviting🎉.
    🤍 Love a home 🏡 with lots of sentimental💕 stuff & inherited items. They bring such warmth, character, & personality.
    How lucky🍀 to have a dressing area turned office 🖥 too. 😴It certainly seems way more relaxing to have your computer & all that related equipment separate from your main living space👍.
    😉My friends & I jokingly describe a room's size by how many backsides can fit in all at once. Both your 🍽 kitchen & bath🛁 are definitely "1 bum" width. At least with the former, someone could sit on the breakfast bar side & help with prep🔪 work well out of the way.
    Thx for the tour, Katrina. Very enjoyable to see how you settled in. 🙏Hope you'll spend many wonderful & fruitful years there. 🕊God bless you!

    I never thought I would like living in a studio. I decided to move in studio due to mental health I have significant ptsd episodes at bedtime & hard for me to sleep in separate room. I struggled with it for a lot of years. I decided to it would be best to down size from 1 bedroom to a studio it’s been 5 years . Not sure of the square footage my studio is medium size but it’s very wide open. I have a pet & I don’t feel cramped
