- Making a rental feel like home | Cozy Minimalist Vibe | @Adrienne Hill's Seoul Apartment Makeover Day 1 - This is a 911 TSD call for a recently moved to Seoul, Adrienne, who doesn't feel at home in her new apartment. She's in need of a quick makeover to transform her space and make it feel like home. We're going to use the Suitcase Designer principles of cleaning, declutter, organizing and designing her space to get it to a place she loves and feels comfortable in. Due to the nature of being an expat, her space will have more of a minimalist vibe, but we can still make it cozy. We want her rental apartment to feel like home, have a minimal design and be completely renter friendly. Enjoy this new 2 episode series. -April

💛💛💛
YAY!!! i'm so grateful to have someone like you to help me with all aspects of life ❤️can't wait for the finished product soon hehe
Always 💛
It's hilarious how at least everyone has that dumping zone area for things they wear often that they don't want to throw in the wash yet 😆
Oh definitely! I have one on my vanity that I’m always having to stay on top of!
Hahah yeah, I have "the door" as I hang all not clean but not dirty yet clothes to a door hanger in my bathroom door bc that is the only place I can put them without cats throwing up or sleeping on my clothes
It’s good practice for sustainability, when you really think about it. ☺️
@@thisuniquechica True I've converted my dumping zone to a spare drawer so I can grab it and go. Usually my comfy home day clothes or a pair of jeans
My mum taught me to always pile your mess onto the bed because then you will be forced to sort through it and put everything away if you want to go to bed that night!
Haha definitely!
The best thing that you can do is put things back where they were when you are done with it, less to clean up and more time for other things. April, you did a great job with the apartment. It feels really good when things are clean, so calming.
The apartment has lots of natural light and has enough space. But what I see here is that she just needed some cleaning and keep her stuff organized.
Absolutely! It’s amazing what a difference it can make!
THE TABLE DILEMMA ....
Everything is beautiful
💛💛
I would want to gaze out the living room windows so I’d put the sofa on the opposite wall, and I’d put the big mirror in the bedroom where I get dressed, not in the living room. Putting it in the bedroom might also help her feel like putting her clothes away and not leaving them in a heap in the corner (mirrors make hiding things hard).
Yes. Fluffy white rug is doomed.
Haha 😂 mine def was!
If she doesn’t use that other bit of her rug in her bedroom or entry way I - oooorr she could make a diy dog bed with it. Just needs some foam and a structure of some sort. I know you can def do that April. (Obviously just and idea, not a demand loool!)
That’s cute
And a good idea
That’s a great idea! We even thought she could keep it to place over the rug in spots if it gets messy🤪
@@SpaceMakerMethod so true! She can replace the original when it starts to get harder to clean!
great progress! looks like it is going to be a lovely apartment! With the rug i would recommend running some PVA glue along the edge of the carpet that you cut, so that it doesn't fray. For the hooks that are stuck, maybe try using a hair dryer on them, and gently heat the adhesive.... possibly worth a try!
Great ideas!! Gotta try that on the hooks!!
For minimizing pet hair, trying brushing them with a slicker brush (not the kind with ball ends but the kind with REALLY FINE bristles)
April, for the big sticky hooks in the kitchen -- try heating up the glue with a hairdryer! this might help to loosen it up. Hugs from Vienna :) Lilly
This! Also a hot air gun will get a bit warmer than a hair dryer if that doesn’t work. She might also try steam!
So excited to try this now!
@@miadromfors4578 SWEET! will try this as well the next time -- thank you!
Yes! Steam, heat, scraping, alcohol, goo gone.
It’s amazing how such small changes to the living room really *turned* things around 😋
I love the cat in the background it’s cute
🤪 she loves to talk
I really love Adrienne's new apartment, especially after the little makeover you gave it. It looked a little lived in before, and you made it look like a brand new apartment!
Beautiful! Tip: a slightly damp rubber washing up glove gets pet hair up off furniture. Mayonnaise gets stickers off. Leave for 5mins then peels off.
I completely forgot you did Adrienne’s flat before. I watched her move in video the other day, (that jogged my memory when I saw she kept the organisation system and brought it with her!) saw she was neighbours with Annie (which I found strange only because hers and Annie’s are so different and I’m used to seeing all flats with the same layout and stuff. Maybe not the same building but completely understand that you probably shouldn’t say that online.) it looks like your flat. I loooooved her sofa, when she bought it it looks so comfy modern and gorgeous. But when she placed it I was like noooo the view!
But it fits in that space so well and works well there if she wants a tv.
She has such a lovely flat, I’m going to have to go an subscribe to her right now! Anyways only like 5 mins in gotta get back to the video.
Love all your comments 🥰 it’s amazing how different apartments are from building to building, especially once you get to Seoul where there are so many style and ages of buildings mixed together!
Everytime I watch one your videos I get so motivated to clean, my closet is on 10 rt now 😳 I'm tracking my closet redo this weekend!! My mom always says if your room is clean your mind will be clear. Thanks for the motivation
Absolutely! A clean house is essential for a healthy mind!
Soooo good!!! Tho I must say: if she makes a pile of clothes on the floor because a pilechair is gone, she clearly needs SOMETHING to keep her pile in as this habit will likely not just go away. I have a miiiild pile system for often-used still-clean casual clothes too and I've evolved from a pilechair to a dedicated drawer on a dresser. she needs something, even if just a chest!
another suggestion for wherever her pile ends up: i started rolling up each piece of clothing (marie kondo style but sloppy!) and putting stuff side by side and it's been a godsend! I don't have to fold anything, which is so boring and i hate it, but i also don't end up burrying stuff and having to dig around to find what i want!
Absolutely! Hoping to tackle this next time I’m there!
Using a blow dryer on stickers works too.
New rug looks amazing and soo cozy
You may want to try using a hairdryer on the sticker hooks and if you come across something like the back splash again. The heat will help soften the glue and make removal easier. Love the videos as a person who lives in a tiny space in the states
I ddidnt think of that! For sure trying that next time!
Thank you for your ideas!! It is so realistic and refreshing to see all these changes and the positive impact of having a nice cozy organized place. Can we admire the view of Seoul? Lucky Adrienne 🙂
I know right!? Beautiful views!
Not April always putting her friends on blast! 😂😂 the bra behind the door!
Bahahaha and honestly I never think of it until you comment that 😭
They probably put that backsplash up to prevent oil/liquids splattering onto the wall a leaving a nasty film (that is a pain to lean). If you're worried about it, I feel like you should just put up some tin foil. Sure it's ugly, but if it gets grimy or you have company over/hosting an event, you can just take it down and put it up later. But if you have semigloss or glossy kitchen paint, things like oil and liquids wash off pretty easily (so long as you let it stay there for a long time).
I've been waiting for this since Adrienne moved to Seoul. ❤❤❤
💛💛
Just love how you take everyday projects and make it so user friendly. Its amazing and i thinn it also helps having some help while doing it. Great Job
Thank you!
The pile beside the bed tho.
April: "but what's it for?!"
My logic: well obviously it's for Adrienne to roll out of bed into and when she stands up she's fully dressed! It even has her favourite things in it 😅
I have a pile like that too :)
I adore all your videos! I’ve learned to let go a lot of junk in my room to have a clean place and it feels amazing!💜💜
Eeee I’m so happy to hear that! I hope it’s helped free some mental space too!
That fridge is an eye sore, that nook could been cozy if it was not there. Excited about the after episode 🙂
Things aren’t always perfect, we just do the best with what we’ve got.
Love your work! It's so inspiring. Could you provide the link to day 2 of this series, please? i could not find it. Thanks!
I love this place so beautiful
💛
Pet hair and duvets:
I change my duvet 1x a week (along with my sheets), and I have a layer of duvets -- my main one (queen size as our bed); and twin size. This one is on the end of the bed, that's where my greyhound likes to sleep. I can easily just lift it and shake it off before sweeping the floor, or giving it a good dust. Then it's cover is cleaned when I clean the other linens.
Great ideas! I do the same with changing 1x a week but didn’t think of getting a twin size duvet! I’ve gotta try!
She seems to be a Clutterbug Butterfly: She needs visual and big category storage.
It is quite obvious from how she doesn't use her hidden storage (wardrobe, kitchen cabinets) much and instead makes visual piles.
It isn't necessarily being messy, it can just a well be when you are a person who needs to be able to see your things.
If she took the doors of all the closets and cabinets, she will likely have a much easier time keeping order and tidiness.
So cute! 😍
💛
The sofa should go along the wall with no windows (opposite to where it is) so that you can look out the windows when sitting down on the sofa.
HELO can I suggest moving the bed against the window? I feel as though that will look so beautiful 😂😂😂😂
You are amazing!! Two things that have helped me get anything off walls: dental floss and a razor blade scraper tool.
Dental floss!?!???
Looks great!
Just wait for your subcount and views to go up! Your videos are great, and you're so good at this!
Thank you so much! Exciting things to come!
Love your content! Very original and raw :)
Love this and your advice!
so happy that I found your channel!
For the hooks you can’t get off in the kitchen, try getting pretty pot holders and hang them on the two hooks that are close to the cook top, and use pliers to pull the metal hook out of the sticker on that other wall then get wall art to cover the part of the sticker that won’t come off :-)
Great idea!
@@SpaceMakerMethod just want to tell you I think you are fab!
Love it already, can't wait to see the finished product! Hahaha, I'd also love to know the best kinds of quilt covers for when you have pets, it a neve ending struggle of fur no matter how many times I vacuum and sticky roll. 🤣
Loved it ❤️👌
💛💛
Nice bubble post and true !! It’s real so be honest but nice when commenting ❤️
Yes!!!
Ah the random stickers and hooks 😂 in my bathrooms there are patches of adhesive paper in random spots (covering holes in the tiles I guess?). The hilarious thing is that the adhesive was clearly meant for a kitchen, it has images of teapots and biscuits on it 🤣 so random!
OMG 🤣
Loving the project spotlights! It fits so well into the whole brand of TSD
💛
Oh man! Pet hair! I have a black lab - so if you do hear about fabric and such that works well and not clinging to pet hair I’d love to know! It was great seeing that back splash come off!
When Izzy sheds in spring I go nuts🤣🤣
The apartment is so cute ☺️
Isn’t it?!
Great job. Good team work!
💛💛💛
I loved this video !! so many good tips that I really should use for my rental flat 💕
So happy to hear that!!
For the hooks in the kitchen! I have similar ones and the instructions say to apply heat (with a blow drier or heat tool and that should loosen the sticky so it can be removed!
Doing that next time !!
Very nice. You give us so many ideas 👍. House looks fabulous. . love the rug ❤️ nice video.
Thank you!!
Very nice apartment 😍 Looks even better after cleaning ✨
She’s got a great place
!!
❤️❤️
💛💛💛
This came out so good!!
It’s amazing how much a free makeover can make a difference!
@@SpaceMakerMethod ikr mind blowing 🤯
Very interesting! Maybe she's a visual organiser? Would it help her to put things back in the closet if she took the doors off? My old roommate was like that...
Haha, a visual organizer? I haven’t heard of that!
@@SpaceMakerMethod I mean that's what I call it. She needs to see her stuff or she forgets about it. So she'll wear the clothes from THE chair but not the ones in her closet... That Adrienne had her favourite stuff in that pile and wore it all the time reminds me of that. Also cute cat noises in the background of your voice over!
I need you to come and do this in the UK. It’s madness and we filled to skips of junk and it looks no different!
🤣🤣
I heard to get sticky items off of your wall, use a hair dryer and set it on high heat.
I was really looking forward to this video! I’m so glad that you were there to help her out. Regarding the hooks that couldn’t be removed, I suggest using a hairdryer because the heat will help melt the adhesive that adheres the hooks to the wall.
By the way, were you able to use the link I gave you to watch the house detox series?
I’ve got to try the hair dryer next time!! And not yet because I haven’t had time, but I still plan to!
I need you in our home! It so hard to declutter my house when my husband is a hoarder!
Oh no! That would be a challenge!
Are the kitchen hooks on a glass/tiled backsplash or a painted wall? If it is the former you should be able to just peel them off. If the latter, I would suggest heating up the adhesive using a hair dryer.
Gotta try this hair dryer method next time!
I need tips on pet hair friendly fabric too. I have 2 cats and lint roller just doesn't do it 😬😬
😭
Who on earth would put only one outlet in a kitchen?! Nice job dealing with it
Haha right!? Especially since there’s no oven, that would take up one half right there.
I've never been to Korea and I am amazed that all flats/rentals seem to kinda look the same. They all seem to be beige with wooden floors, large windows (yay), and have those built-in vanities. Are you allowed to put nails in the walls? I don't think anyone has had any art on the walls.
Many walls are made of cement, so Unless you own you wouldn’t want to. Other walls aren’t very sturdy so it can be hard to have anything with weight stay. So... not really 😢 unfortunately
I didn't find episode 2 of this.
There isn’t one because she ended up moving shortly after.
Is there an episode 2. .. can’t find it ! @TSD…
I wish there was but Adrienne ended up moving back to Busan right after filming this.
@@SpaceMakerMethod oh!
How can someone who is not a youtuber but lives in Korea, is planning to move relatively soon, and would love some interior design help get in on this action? :-)
I’m flattered you’d like my help! Right now I’m scheduled out for a few months and not taking on new clients, but if that changes I will let you guys know!
@@SpaceMakerMethod Great! I'll be here all year!
Hair dryer will loosen glue!
Gotta do that next time!!
Your thumbnail says before and before. Should it be before and after?
It’s right 😁 the first episode of the series always say before, before to show it’s the first episode
Okay last comment I swear!
But first you said you’re going to throw away and get rid of some flowers and the light switches on and off. Like something is leaving with the flowers.
Then you see a dove in the backsplash. Which most definitely looks like the dove 🕊 emoji AND makes me think of Noah’s Ark - how he sent the dove to find land and it came back with a branch. Somethings happening here!
Fun fact - my name means white dove! (And ends in Noah)
