I think it is really cool that you guys are getting to live in places you always wanted to, even if only for a short time, while deciding on a more long term home. Most people think “I would love to live there,” “I would love to live here,” but never actually get the chance to.
Yesss, this!! We feel really lucky to have the opportunity to live in places that we’ve dreamt about! Couldn’t do it without y’all supporting every week, thank you 🥹💛💛
Congrats, all of that sunlight is so happy! Also a fan of the idea of a long table to act as an island and seating so it gives you more living room space
Yes! I am seeing this everywhere now. I love it.
The light coming through windows and the view are everything
i kinda like the bright white everywhere, it feels fresh and happy. question though…where will your workshop be? does this apartment mean no more bigger diys or wood working projects? 😢
I feel like they will probably rent a workplace. I can’t seem them giving that up long term!
Lots of random little corners and such. But i loved it when Brian said,"I can't wait to see what you do it." Said with such love and admiration.
Instead of a breakfast nook, I would do shelving and a tea station. Put the dining room by the balcony door. I just think with a small eat in nook, it will be a lot of seats in a small area.
But I can't wait to watch you transform it.
What a perfect blank canvas! Can’t wait to see how you decorate!
I love you guys. Adorable couple. Infectious energy. Best of luck in your new place.
Awww, thank you so much! We're so excited to share this new chapter 💛
Hahaha, snow over?!?! Winter ain't over til mid/late March. This video was prolly shot in January. I'm close (very close) to Chicago. The snow ain't over yet, sister.
Right?! When Tina said that I thought, uh oh, who’s going to break the news!! 😳😊
She used to live in Chicago. Too much time in California and she's forgotten Upper midwest winter. Or rather WISHFUL THINKING
I like the idea of placing your table as a kitchen island.
This apartment is amazing! I live in the greater Chicago area and you're definitely in a really nice part of Chicago! Welcome back to the midwest!
That is a ridiculously beautiful apartment! Those windows! All that and a balcony and a washer and dryer and a dishwasher and elevators so you don’t have to haul everything up several flights of stairs
Welcome back to the Midwest! Can't wait to see what you do with your new space. I actually like the white and chrome in bathrooms and kitchen. Chrome is back with a vengeance! The black plastic closet handles have to go, though!
We are sooooo excited! Ready for all the makeovers! Ready to see how wonderful you make this place! 🎉
Thank you! I can't wait to get started 😊💛
Our grandchildren and their parents live in Chicago, and I know it is snowing there this week! I was surprised at how cold and long the winters are, but it is a FANTASTIC city!! Your apartment is truly the best for city living. You will do amazing things with it!!
Apartment looks great, so cool to live in the city. Welcome home ❤
I love this apartment so airy and bright, all the best at your new spot 🩷
Thank you so much! 💛
Omg that light 😍 excited to see you'll transform this space!
Oh I love the apartment..so bright, airy..I'd personally if it was me do a long table as an island in the middle of the kitchen so it would give you more counter space plus additional seating so you get a 2 for one..that way your not taking away from the living area that'll make that area smaller..just my opinion..can't wait to see your personal touches...
Gorgeous apt. Def put the table in the kitchen like an island. You will love having it close. You can style one end of it and leave the other end open the way that XO Macenna did.
Exactly my thoughts!!!! I love the Macenna reference!
So happy you had a safe and eventful road trip. But you did not even skip a beat. I thought we'd miss this week. But very happy to see your new place.
⬜ This really is a white blank slate to color with your personal choices:
Can´t wait to witness this creative phase of your journey Tina & Brian! 💞
🖌💦 This is the 4th apartment I´ve followed you DIY-ing.
Looking forward the transformation this lucky home is gonna get through your imagination! 🪄💖✨
Such a cute place. I love all the light coming in. Your furniture will help balance all the white. I think you should just do your “dining room” as an eat in kitchen. You don’t need to add a cute table in the corner. You have a beautiful table that can act as so many things; table, desk, prep island, craft space… I can’t wait to see all that you do.
Congratulations on the next step! Can't wait to see what you do!
I can't wait to see the makeover!
Omg def do an island situation for your dining space. It doubles as two functions and you’ll have more walking space
Beautiful home!! Bright and airy and wonderful view. Can’t wait to see you transform it to an amazing home.
So excited for all the new videos. And happy for you both 🎉🎉
Love your new place
Welcome to Chicago!😊
I'm excited to see what you do with the apartment.
Lived overlooking Lincoln Park for 6 winters. After Jan.1, there were still 30 trees with lights in the windows. each night 1 or 2 less...enjoy. Also thunder snow over the lake is fun.
Congratulations on your new apartment ❤️❤️❤️
❤😊can’t wait to see all the changes 😊
Im excited for the decor part!!! N diy😊😊
I'm so excited to see you transform your new home! I can already see ALL the DIY potential!
I love all the windows and sunlight. Only question I have is, where will you be able to cut wood and have your little workshop at?
Hello it’s nice to see that you and your husband made it home safely. The apartment is so beautiful and stunning. 🙏🏾❤️🥰🕊️💯💫
Do you have a place in the building for your power tools?
For dining, you could DIY a huge island or source a long table to have between the kitchen and living spaces (a la xoMacenna). Congratulations!
Can't wait to see what you do with your new space!
Ready for all the new spaces 👏🏼👏🏼. Glad you’ll get to see family more often! And btw I love the white. I know it’s not for everyone but I recently painted everything white and it’s the perfect backdrop art ♥️
Love this place...can't wait to see what you and Brian do to this place❤❤❤
Me too!! I’m so excited to share the process with you 💛
Love your new apartment! The floor the ceiling windows are amazing. I think you should diy a large island that you could set and eat at.
very exciting!
I really like it. I can't wait to see what you do with it :).
Thank you! I'm so excited to start decorating 💛
Love all the sunlight I am excited to see what you do with the place to TINAFY it! 😊❤
First th8ng you wanna do is open up that water/ice dispenser and check for mold and replace the filter! I still have nightmares of the black sludge I found on my ice cubes 🤢
Lovee the place!!
What a bright, sunny place! I can't wait to see how you guys make it your own!
Congratulations on the move!
I love this apartment!!! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
Yes! Back in the city. I love Chicago!
If you’re okay with using the living room/couch for double duty, I have a cool transforming table from Expand Furniture (based out of British Columbia) that doubles as our coffee table and dining table. They have some cool stuff!
I’m excited to see how you decorate this new place!!!
The light in that apt is beautiful. ❤🇨🇦
Looks like you are definitely in the city. Our son used to live in a new condo hi-rise in the Prairie District. The area was very pretty with some gorgeous old mansions and garden areas in addition to the new stuff and it was only two or three blocks, as I recall, to Michigan Ave. We visited on the 4th of July a couple of times and he was high enough that we could watch them going off all over the city and the suburbs, so many hours of non-stop fireworks. Could also see Soldier Field. They live in Burbank now, in Toluca Lake which is also a very cute neighborhood, but we do miss stopping in Chicago. I think you are going to have many fun adventures in the Windy City.
It’s a beautiful apartment (except those handles, like you said! 😂) and so much light! I’ll be looking forward to a balcony makeover in the spring. I’m sure you’ll be happy there, and enjoy the blank canvas of the all white!
Lots more plants 🪴 especially sun loving ones. The balcony has lots of potential for cozy vibes too. Morning breakfast, evenings alfresco romantic 💘 dinners. wow it’s gonna be awesome for them 🎉
Congratulations ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful place!! So excited for y’all! The city life is the best!
Obsessed with your new apartment. Can't wait to see all your future videos and all the magic you create in there.
Heck yeah! You got lots of work and designs to enhance your artistic talent to this new home. Can’t wait for your next video showing the first of your many projects ❤❤❤. Y’all are so stinking cute!
Ahhhhh you’re back in IL!
Can’t wait to see some of Tina Touch Makeover soon! ❤
Congratulations! 🎉🍾🥂🎉
Thank you!! 💛
I'd love to see you embrace the silver and chrome accents! I've always loved chrome but because brass and black fixtures have been so popular it's hard to find good inspo for chrome.
Love your apartment 🤩🤩🤩. I'm loving your hair also.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new apartment!! Can’t wait to see you Tina-fy it. I ❤ Chicago.
Yes to kitchen-island situation!😊😊😊
Welcome to my hometown I know you will work your style into you new home!
Congrats
Congrats on your new apartment! Can’t wait to see what you do with it. Especially the lighting, we have the same issue with no overhead lighting.
I found your channel with your last video of packing!! I am so excited for y’all!! Can’t wait to see what you do with your new apartment!!🥰
Awww, thank you! I'm so glad you found my channel and are here for this new journey 💛💛
Oh gosh Tina Le and Brian that new apartment you have in Chicago is so pretty and it really does look so wonderful and not alot of damage inside, I am so excited to see all of the DIYs you will be doing in your new living place and I hope that you can come back to California again and also find a very beautiful new apartment to moce back into. There is alot of great sunlight and it is really so pretty in there. Congratulations on moving to this new apartment, God bless you both again, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂🥰😍😘🙏🙏💖💜💜💜💜
Tina. Congrats on your move. I love the bright white clean look in all the spaces. The natural light shines through brilliantly.
This one is very nice too! ❤️😍
I think the kitchen is definitely in need of an island. I would make or source one that you can fully tuck barstools underneath so you can do seating on both sides of the island and then it doubles as dining area.
It's really cute but where are you going to do wood working??
You guys are such a sweet young couple. ☺
Nice apartment. I love how many windows you have. I can't wait to see what you do to it. I bet your family is glad to have you back. Do your magic.
Welcome to our beautiful city!
The table as an island would serve double duty. Your so amazing about decorating,so go with the flow. Good luck and best wishes in your new place. Love you guys ❤🙏🙏🙏
I love you guys! So exiting and fun. Love the new place. ❤
Beautiful space, I love all the windows. I am excited to watch you transform this apartment into your home!❤
Use office space for the primary bedroom and office in the primary room
Welcome to the Upper Midwest! Dining table in the kitchen makes sense, and you could make a moveable island at one end of the table for more counter space. Leaves more room in your main living space to spread out a bit more than you could in LA. So cute that you think the snow is over and it's only February...🥶
I thought that snow comment was rather optimistic - or just plain silly - too!! They weren't in LA that long to forget!

We visited several big cites in the US and Chicago was by far my favorite big city. Your new place is beautiful!
I would place a long dining room table in the kitchen that way yoh could use it as a island and then a place to get.
Such a nice place! I think the spinning bookshelf would fit perfectly in that little area in the living room too!!! 📚❤
i would put the dining area (round table) in that nook by the fridge. that way you still have the whole rest of the area as a living room. i would also for sure utilize the hallway in some way, maybe even a cabinet for more storage. because the bedroom is smaller, i would personally keep in white and made it cozy with rugs, blankets, curtains etc. oh and i love how much storage your kitchen has! i think other handles from wood or other materials you like would already improve the look and some color as accents. i am excited for the videos to come!
Hopefully the snow is already over, hahaha you crack me up
Shout out from southern California! Ah yes...we do love our cars here and an attached garage is a must rather than a luxury for us. Looking forward to seeing how you paint on your new blank canvas.
So happy for you! We should all take a shot every time Tina says ‘I feel like..’ 😅
Hey neighbor! Welcome to the hood. New spot looks awesome. See you in the streets!
Wow, your new apartment is very bright and a complete blank canvas! It's a shame it's a little small but I'm sure you will make it all work. I would be itching to create a long kitchen island as there is not much work space. Looking forward to watching all the makeover videos :-D
A wagon is def a must for all groceries and shopping essentials in the city 😅 Welcome back guys!
Welcome to the wagon club 😂😂 I love my wagon, it’s so helpful 😆
My dad used to live in that building!
I think it looks great, what about a built in breakfast nook in the kitchen? I also like that this apartment will bring out your problem solving skills, you have the best ideas for overcoming size/storage/designs. It's exciting to have that blank canvas too.
Yay congrats on arriving at your next chapter! My question, how did you use your last island! Just as prep or as a work station or a dining spot. There are so many options for the layout. How you live and plan to use the space would dictate to me how to set it up. Can't wait to see how you set it up ❤❤❤
How pretty, so excited for you guys. I love your channel, and can’t wait to see you make it look pretty. I have to ask though, why did you move to Ca, just to come back to Chicago?
