Your landlords actually sound pretty nice. Most landlords get upset if you change anything about the apartment, so the fact that they’re not only letting you but helping is kinda wild. Also the fact that they offered to replace your sinks when the only thing that’s wrong with them is staining (not a functional issue) is incredibly generous. Most landlords would only do that so they could raise rent afterwards. So many apartments are owned by huge companies that only see tenants as moneymakers, not people. I know I don’t know the full story, but they sound nicer than any landlord I’ve had so maybe give them the benefit of the doubt and focus on the things that you can change for now :) your apartment really is already looking lovely
@@kirstenpriest9283 yes they are SO nice. I love them so much!!! but yeah, i’m not giving the full story bc i don’t to out them like that… but as a tenant we still have our rights and I just wanted to put that out there 💖
@@deniselogan2733 lol omg.. chill out... I was threatening them about heat in my apartment. I didn't mention that bc it has been tem[porarily fixed. get your story straight cause I didn't say it was about my sink
@@DanniellaJoy Nope, but you WERE a liar hiding damage on your light fixture in your last apartment, so YEP I'm correct calling you out as an entitled baby potentially threatening your landlords and YES you did say it was about your sink.

some comments here are negative and seem kinda jealous. pls dont take them to serious 🩷 your apartment is a process and its normal to complain, its part of being human. people say they want to see real life on social media, but when they see real life and the problems that comes with it they complain or writte rude comments. keep your head high girl 😘 and thank you for letting us be a part in your process 🏡🫧💖 the comments are just a reflection of these unhappy negative people 🥰
The bed in front of the door...feng shui is crying in a corner. 😂😉 I love the office in your walk-in closet. Mentally and visually separating working and living space. Nice❣️
I recently found your channel and wow girl!! Your home decor is EVERYTHING! 🤩💖 I am also a 29 year old woman living alone in a studio apartment and you inspire me to do so much more with it. I’m addicted to your content and I’m cheering you on and wishing for your success! Can’t wait to see how this home turns out! 😍👏🏾💕
Thanks for documenting the process people are saying you whine a lot but honestly it’s refreshing to me. All of the time social media glamorizes things and you don’t see the real side of how people got their homes and apartments to look the way they look!! I know, especially for me when I moved early this year. I had to set up so many things and I felt like crying and was comparing myself to other people some how thinking they had it easier but that’s not the case they just aren’t real about how hard it is to move❤. Love what you done with your studio so far!! It’s rly coming along :)
You have quickly become my new comfort youtuber and im excited to see your place come together -- it's already sooo cute. Just curious, what do you do for work? You're an inspiration!
Suggestion: They sell liquid epoxy for tubs and sinks. It takes 24-48hrs to cure and you could do it yourself if you don’t want to wait for your landlord’s. Maybe ask them if you do it can they deduct it from your rent and any painting/changes. Your landlords actually seem reasonable because changing current rods isn’t their job (it is something you hire task rabbits for) and the sink and tub aren’t reportable because they work. A good rule of thumb is to get repairs and renovations done before you move in. Also, some of the things you pointed out are apart of picking old buildings with “character”. With that said, I like your how you are making your apartment feel like home.
Love your content! This is one of your first long-form videos that I’m watching and I subbed before it even started. That being said, I know that the moving process/landlords can be frustrating and I hope that you can find pockets of positivity and happiness through it all 💓💗
as a fellow NOPA babe, i love ur energy, how chill u are, and ur amazing taste. you clearly deserve! this apartment and i'm so happy its protecting you from all the haters that simply could NEVER do this place justice! so happy i found u on tiktok!!
14:27 I think that the most annoying part would be that the bathroom sink has two faucets one for cold and one for hot water, which is how they used to make them back in the day, I find it really hard to wash your hands or brush your teeth in that kind of sink without getting burned or having a frostbite lol The staining would be secondary in my opinion...
I love this content! I’m over here watching you decorate when my ass is supposed to be washing the dishes and picking up my daughter’s clothes that she throws everywhere! Plus my husband is just out here making noise on his damn guitar! I am finding solace in your video!! ❤❤❤✨
So pretty! I could see a curtain being installed on that shelf by the bed. Just so it gives more by the window vibes and gives a little texture and adds more tranquility to your bedding area.
You should use the doors of the old Murphy bed as your headboard, with the bookshelves on either side of the bed. That would best. I did something similar once.
GIRL I LOVE YOU, YOUR HOME, AND YOUR CONTENT! There are so many rude and bitter people in the comment section and it’s so weird. If you don’t like the way she speaks then why watch her content? Telling someone they shouldn’t talk a certain way or need to change their vocabulary is incredibly rude, btw “I’m just a girl” is a gen z/millennial trending phrase there’s nothing “weird” about it y’all need to get with the times LOL I’m just a girl is a part of my daily vocabulary bc I was born in 2001 and it’s just what we say. You inspired me to completely switch up my room Joy, your content is so beyond inspirational and I absolutely looooove your personality, keep being you and screw the haters darling!!
Overall, I love the apartment. The sideboard looks great! About the curtains, I like all 3 of them, but I get why you like the patchwork ones. If it were me, I would put the bed somewhere else, only because it blocks the drawers and shelves 😞, but maybe you want the bed to be far away from the windows, which is understandable. I didn't see previous arrangements. I would like to see how it works with the velvet blackout curtains.
I’m a tad under the weather, but I was wondering if could you assemble the second sideboard without doors and use that as a media unit? Loving all the pink. And for Christmas next year, you should get a pink Christmas tree. 🩷
@@hokusai41 I already have two coming LOL I don’t need a third 🥲 but wow thank you for the innovative idea!! I would’ve never thought of that. (I got rid of the second sideboard btw)
The frame tv isn't really necessary. You can diy a frame around a regular tv if you want or many other creative things to hide it. But what's wrong with a tv anyway? Try Rust oleum Appliance Epoxy for the sink. There are even small ones you can paint on. I just love vintage apartments but of course they all will come with issues. Nice place!
i just found your channel! everything looks so goOood and comforting in some sense, i'm so curious about what you do in life or your job to achieve this kind of lifestyle! i also aspire to have my own apartment someday
About the start of the vid and the issues with bed placement: it looks off because the shelving implicates there being a center you should follow, so I'd use floating shelves above the head of the bed there (try to get them as similar in appearance as the built-in shelves) in order to give it a more deliberate look, as if it /should/ be extended towards the corner. Floating shelves in that gap area between built-ins as well. Hopefully that makes sense lol
Since you are hanging up so much stuff, how about getting a step stool or an actual ladder? I am terrified that you’ll end up falling one day off that stool and chair/couch situation getting those curtains again and really hurt yourself. Best case you just land on the floor, worse is you crash through the window. Please?
Dear Joy, I’m the one that left the mean comment on your video 3 weeks ago (about complaining and whining). I am so so sorry and embarrassed, and I regret doing that. I forgot that I even went through with posting that until I saw you address it in a following video, and I’ve been mortified ever since. But you were right, I was projecting in a sense, and you did not deserve that at all. I remember I watched your video after a stressful annoying work day, where I was suppressing my annoyance of others that day, and I projected it on to you without even knowing you or watching your other content. Leaving that comment went against my better judgement and I can’t believe I did that. I’m so sorry, you are so right about everything you said in response to it, since then I’ve watched more of your videos and it is not your character at all. Even so, it was wrong to leave that negative energy under any circumstance. I’m sorry for the way it affected you, I’m sorry I didn’t think about the impact it would have. Thank you for addressing it with kindness and grace. I hope I’m still worthy of your invitation to be friends.
I do love your energy and the video! But maybe cuz you’ve only been there a month and begging for many changes, they are reluctant especially on Low priority stuff because it is still functioning
This is my first time watching you. You whine a lot. You’re a grown woman & you complain about things that should not hold any merit. Your sinks look bad but the function & are not gross. Buy enamel paint & sand them down & cover the rust yourself. Isn’t that hard. The hinge issue on your side board you were missing….could have spent a couple bucks at the same store where you bought the paint….reason that prices have sky rocketed the last few years …. Buy the sideboard & use it as your media cabinet. Idk ….. I could absolutely not watch anymore. You are so entitled
“I’m just a girl”. What? Being a girl is the best. I won’t let my granddaughter get away with thinking like that. Never minimize how great it is to be a woman!❤
@@redhededgrl oh I think you may have interpreted it differently .. I LOVE being a woman 🥰 “I’m just a girl” is just a playful joke that I use everyday ahahah
@ ,I think your videos are adorable. Which is why I can see a lot of younger girls would be attracted to your channel. Remind them it’s about empowerment. Especially after the election girls need all the positive vibes they can get. Your apartment is wonderful in all of its pinkness! My first marriage ended 30 years ago and I painted my interior pink and loved it. 💕
Don't worry, it's just another internet trend by saying I'm just a girl when doing certain things but means no harm. Also, it references a song by Just Doubt in the 90s called Just a Girl talking about how the world wants us to be weak but we'd really rather not😊
HAHA honestly, you’re so right!! I barely even say it and was thinking of leaving that part out tbh!! But I was so happy lol. thanks for keeping me in checkkkk
I like your vision and what you've done with the place, but 75% of the video is you complaining 😅 "this is so annoying/I'm so annoyed" which is kind of damping the mood. I don't understand why you bought another media unit instead of picking up the other one? Yes you might not have a car but you've ordered task rabbits before. You could also coordinate with the new tenant/former landlords for you to go and pick it up and take an uber back with it?

If I may request a video, how do you go about finding these type of apartments really thinking about moving out there from Baltimore
like what you diid to the place
I think you can just get a hinge at the hardware store and sell the other unit
