- Getting my Brooklyn Apartment Together - A Cinematic NYC Story
I've been living in my apartment in New York City for three years now. But I honestly hate this apartment. As a creative I feel the look and vibe of my spot doesn't do what it's supposed to do. So I'm revamping my crib, but on a very tight budget. So.. yeah, here's to a fresh space and cozy crib.

Who knew furnishing your apartment could be so aesthetically pleasing to watch. 😮
You knew, you saw it in person 😂
@ man hush.
The visuals are on point. Keep thriving.
It's always dope adding new furniture to the spot, brings a new refreshed energy.
I’m already feeling the new energy 🙏🏾
Like this to bully him into creating short films already. ✨
I’m so happy that I saw this in my recommendations, I subscribed immediately 🫶
Another great visual from D. Dames. The double views/perspectives in Shania's part was really dope. Salute to her friend who helped film.
Appreciate that bro and definitely shout out to her friend 🙏🏾
It's interesting how building out your apartment is like building a character in your life. It's cool to see the space come together, the plants and the coffee table add a nice flavor
Appreciate the love bro thank you 🙏🏾!
Omg the iphone breakdown, now THAT’S some unique home decor.
yessir the crib looking so good! a lot of inspiration from this apartment makeover 🔥
Appreciate it man thank you 🙏🏾
I like how to spot is coming along. I would suggest adding in some mood lighting instead of the overhead light. Maybe a floor or table light with Warm White light lol just a suggestion but it will make it more cozy for sure.
2025's gonna be great, glad 2 c u back on the yt my bro
Definitely going to be a great one bro 🙏🏾
Just found your channel and immediately subscribed!! I also live in NY and can relate to a lot of what you speak about like finding a work life balance. Excited for what’s to come from your channel!!
That’s love thank you 🙏🏾!
Thanks for this vid bro. This helping my day get better.
Appreciate you watching bro 🙏🏽
Nothing better than getting your crib right to enjoy your own solitude💯
Literally mad peaceful bro 🙏🏾
w video everything was on point I like the vibe of your space it's the proof that you don't need a big appartment to make it look good.
That’s love bro thank you and couldn’t agree more 🫱🏾🫲🏽
Proud of you!!!
Appreciate that thank you 🙏🏾!
Your place looks great! I love the coffee table! I moved to NY in September still working on my place as well. ❤️
Best UA-camr to watch while you eat food💯
LOL that's love bro thank you 🙏🏽
The place is coming together bro. The more of yourself you put into it, the cozier it feels. Thanx for inviting us on your journey and into your space .
Appreciate that bro - I just love that I didn’t have to break bank for me to really like it lol
This is so New York and I’m from Chicago! Great storytelling great vibes great video!!!!
Had no idea you were from Chicago ha, I always figured you were from NY! I appreciate the constant support though thank 🙏🏾!
@ lol!! No problem!! Yup born and raised here I just like the New York vibes!
Nothing like being alone & at peace in your own space
Literally nothing like it at all 🙏🏾
Great video… as usual… music selection is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it bro thank you 🙏🏾
Spot is on point bro! Eufy is a go! Keep pushing and posting💪🏾
The lights made such a difference!
Lighting is so important, wish I did this sooner!
This is my 1st comment on here.. plus I just subscribed to your YT channel today. You probably get this a lot but I'm going to say it lol 😅.. you do a great job with these vlogs being so cinematic and relaxing. Keep up the great work and all the best in getting your apartment together. Much love from Brooklyn NY 🙏🏾💙 Have a blessed, healthy and prosperous 2025😎✌🏾✨
Appreciate this and sending back the love man thank you 🙏🏾
really love and enjoy the aesthic of your content
less of just a "video" but more so telling a story
Most definitely bro thank you 🙏🏾
Dope vlog. This got me thinking about my spot. Adding stuff slowly tho 🙏🏽
Thanks man 🙏🏾 definitely a slow build but worth it over time
This was so goood!!! Also lol I need the soundtrack 🙏🏾
Appreciate that thank you 🙏🏾. I have my playlist linked in the description. (Spotify is the most out to date, but I plan on updating the Apple one this week)
@ awesome! Thank you!
i think what is missing is repainting those grey walls to white
Not a bad idea at all 🙏🏾
The grey walls are DEF the problem and new paint will make the biggest impact in the space (from a interior stylist and enthusiast) 😊
As far as lighting goes, it’s the light bulbs and color temperatures that matter. Leave overhead bright light as is, but for your own lights use warm or soft white light bulbs under 2700 Kelvins. Place becomes cozier the longer you live in it, make it yours and become part of your neighborhood 🙂 love the 🏀 planter!!!!
Appreciate the tip thank you!
The Eli Sostre album cover on the wall .. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my all time favorite projects 📌
💯 !!!! Truthfully, I don’t kno a lot of people that are familiar or listen to him. This was my first video of yours I watched, I was subscribed as soon as I seen the wall art
What book is that on your shelf, with the hoop on it ?! I couldn’t catch the title @@ddames
Man, what an upgrade to your place. It looks amazing bro 👏🏿👏🏿 great job! I truly enjoyed this episode!! 🔥🔥
Appreciate you bro thank you 🙏🏾!
I thought I was OD with my headphone collection lol. You got me beat with 2 pairs of the Airpod Max!! I still havent decorated my home. 4 years in. I'll find inspiration soon but dealing with other things first. Keep up the great work!
I only have 1 pair, the other pair was my girl’s so you probably do have me beat 😂. But thank you! Hopefully your able to do what you want with your space this year 🙏🏾
Mannn I’m the same way with IKEA. Joint too damn big 😂

Subway mirror, that’s cool. Can you place it to give a reflected view of the street from inside? Going to see if these are available in the UK 👍🏻
That’s actually not a bad idea! It’s called Convex mirror, hopefully they’re available to you in the UK 🙏🏾
Interesting. Making the most with what you got 👍🏾
Most definitely 🫱🏾🫲🏽
for the algoooooooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉
My dawg 🙏🏾
Hi Dave I like your videos and a I have a question when you think to get a car , driving talking for the vlog it’s good idea I know you use transport but car it’s a other vibe , and keep pushing waiting for the next video
I mean eventually yeah lol. Appreciate you watching 🙏🏾
D if you don’t find use for that mirror, we’ll put it by the door on the 44 bus, so driver can see everybody not payin 😂
LMAO aye, 2025 has been crazy on the MTA so far so I just might 😭
Hi Dames! Where is the painting you have on the floor from?
HI, wanted to give you some advice regarding things like the mirror you got and then didnt like where you put it. Sometimes you get something but it might not be the time for the item. If you got it its cause you like it but try putting it away cause in the future that item might find its rightful perfect place. It happens all the time to me i buy something then im like why did i buy this? Then 8 months later boom I know why I bought it.
I wanna be THIS rich one day ❤
Oh no this ain’t rich. This is strict budgeting 🙏🏾
What good D
What’s poppin 🫱🏾🫲🏽
u need to turn the big lights off and get some lamps!
Indeed and did 🙏🏾
@@ddames looks great!!!!!!
this transition (3:30 to 3:40) ate! Inspired an idea for my vlogs--I just launched my channel!
🫡🫡🫡 YES SIR!!!
🙏🏾🫱🏾🫲🏽
W vid tryna get like you my boi
That’s love bro thank you 🙏🏾
영상으로 만나게되 기뻐요. 멋진 영상 많이 올려주세요.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Tell me where you get that old school iPhone lock sound effect.
Search iPhone SFX and you’ll get a bevy of SFX
@ thanks, bro.
What kind of tripod do u use to get that high quality
In the description of this video I have a video linked that goes more in depth of the gear I use.
But I use three tripods: C-Stand, Normal Tripod, Table Top Tripod.
I use the table top one the most. Hope this helps 🙏🏾
I am moving in with my partner. Can you share some advice about what it’s like living with a significant other and what you’ve learned
Man, I feel like there’s so many things lol. In my experience I’d say these things:
1. Try your best to communicate your feelings about how you feel your cohabitation is going. There may be small nitpicky things that your partner does that may leave you feeling annoyed. Voice those issues so they don’t grow into resentment.
2. Divvy up the responsibilities. If your partner cleans, you cook. If you cook your partner walks the dog. Sometimes you or your partner may feel like they’re taking on more of the load of up-keeping the house. Try your best to match your partners effort.
3. Budget, create a financial plan and budget for the household and needs. Money may be an iffy topic but hopefully you guys are open about that.
There’s probably some other things but that’s a good start
How much you pay?? Looking at a few jobs in NY rn and figuring out some logistics
$1960 for 1BD. I’ll say it’s more common to see 1BD in the 2K range in Brooklyn but there are some cheaper option in the BX and some parts of Harlem
@@ddames around what area of BK are you in, honestly you got a nice crib I'm jealous, love the light and balcony
Shanoki bad as hell lol
please increase your speaking audio to be on par with the audio tracks. There is a huge imbalance right now with this video and maybe other ones you've made. The viewer shouldn't have to raise my speaker volume up and down because your audio isn't balanced throughout the video. Please make sure that the audio is balanced throughout the video. If you want to lower the audio track or fade it that's fine but don't do the reverse and have your speaking audio so low and the music super loud.
Clutter...less is more
Stop lying for views…you’re an adult male. Should you be living alone in your own apartment?!
What are you even talking about
