  • Hi cute people !
    This week we’re having some second hand fun and designing an apartment entirely with facebook marketplace (one of my favorite places for all things interior design).We’re taking the most generic apartment that I could find and warmin it up using some vintage and second hand furniture, and I’m walking you through each step of my thought process for the interior design of this typical “boring” apartment.
    I had a lot of fun making this video! Hopefully you guys enjoy this kind of content ✨
    Also if you want free interior design advice pls send me photos of your homes for my upcoming video series reviewing my subscribers homes

    this is exactly the kind of content you should be making, it's so educational, informative, this is exactly what we need! please do more of this, especially with bland/cheap apartments. can you try doing one with very little natural light? that'd be great - anytime I look for inspiration on pinterest I'm like "yeah if I had a living room flooded with light all the time I wouldn't have a hard time decorating it"

      Exactly! That's why I roll my eyes when creators like Paige Wassel say in 2024 people should just live in more architecturally interesting buildings. Yes, it's far easier to decorate places like that but not everyone has the means to do so. Styling a "bland" apartment like this takes a lot of skill and I'm so glad someone's teaching us.

    FB marketplace is singlehandedly the BEST thing that has ever happened to my home. I love finding pieces that are unique (and often not what I was originally looking for) while also not contributing to the production of "fast furniture." It feels so good to get really cool things at a ridiculously good price AND keep history out of the landfill. The discovery of my own style came from a lot of thrifting (and listening to Paige Wassel lol). I love that Paige encourages people to work within their budget through thrifting bc there is always going to be some lil old lady who has had the perfect piece for decades and just wants to see it go to a good home.

That you’re working with a realistic apartment that has fake wood floors and trying to go around that, that you’re using SH furniture and encouraging people to do the same (even for the plant!), that you’re making do with what you find at a given time (which is again very realistic). And of course I also really love the results. It would be awesome if you could do the same for more rooms, different cities, different apartments.

    No wonder your vibe feel familiar! I just moved out of the Eastside/WA state. I absolutely love how the space turned out! It reminds me of Kathleen Kelly's apartment in the "after" photo for some reason, but that's probably how I define "peak cozy." Please keep doing these videos and sharing tips on how to create cozy, collected and thoughtful spaces. You did it so fast and naturally in this video. Side note: Shame on building owners who throw up these buildings so thoughtlessly and quickly, then have the nerve to install not only gray vinyl flooring, but also white appliances and glass pendant lights! I bet the countertops are quartz or laminate to add the cheap/sterile cherry on top! I also watch you videos with a notebook in hand, you're creating the type of content we need.

I would probably have done that instead of the elfa shelves and put a mirror over the sofa as a “light” source. My home is full of secondhand pieces collected over many years, so this kind of shopping and spatial design is right up my alley! More please!!

    Very thoughtful and helpful video! I was struck by how important wall treatments are to counter the aggressive blandness of newer city apartments -- in this case, using wall to wall curtains, wall shelves over the sofa, the mirror by the door and the print in the kitchen area. Rugs to cover bad flooring are important too. The way you chose objects -- used and of better quality with a tactile lived element -- gradually created a kind of conversation that erased the anonymity...

    I love this. I don’t live in an apartment like this but I can still use these ideas. I’ve been wanting one of those paper lanterns for a room in my house that has no overhead lighting. One thing I like to use on vintage furniture is a product called restore a finish. You can buy different colors and it refreshes your furniture and kinda buffs out scratches. It’s very easy to use. I bought a vintage wood bed for my daughter’s room for only 125 and I used it and it literally looks amazing.

    Commenting twice! As someone living in a builder grade apartment I LOVE these kind of videos!!! I would love to see what you would do with the rest of the space - how could someone bring life into the bedroom, bathroom, etc? This is crazy useful.

    I’m pretty honest if I say I wasn’t so sure about this interior in the beginning as you just started out with furnishing the pieces. But I must admit now, that all textures, materials and especially lighting sources bring so much Timbre and peace into this room. You’re absolutely right about the use of different materials and and in this case neutral colours and wood tones, bringing so much cohesion, pretty for the eyes, I’d feel at home immediately. The book shelf with the books with many textures and colours is the great focal point.
