Happy Sunday! This week's video is a moving vlog / tour of my new space in SoHo. Comment below what you think I should do with furnishing the spot!
Definitely love the idea of getting local artwork to decorate!
Such an amazing loft!
The place looks amazing!! You have such great taste!
When you know you know!
As for furnishings follow your creative side and take some chances, be bold and do something different.
Erik, the apartment is white. Go for black french window style. Also, add lots of plants, I mean huge plants in the house because green is going to bring so much splash of colour in the house.
My thoughts exactly!
Indoor plants bring bad luck
He has a dog though, not sure about plants on the floor 🤔
@@ok603 If not plants, then hia dog will break something else. You can never be too careful with pets. Things will always break😂
@@dv9239 Not at all Man. The right plants will help you get more oxygen in your home which is so much needed in this polluted world and some right plants can bring all the luck in the world for you. But, wrong plants like poisonous plants and flowers do bring bad luck.
I’m here for Theo getting his own room 👏👏
the whole loft is Theo's who are we kidding, he just lets me live here
@@erikvanconover lol
@@erikvanconover lol, that is true.
Keep the wood panel just as it is! it fits the overall aesthetic to the apartment and adds warmth to it
I would hire an artist to create a mural or something to transform it from an eyesore to a focal point.
Happy for you bro
thank you so much! Hope you are doing well!
Erik congrats on your new place its amazing and its in a good location 👍
As a pose to all the bad areas (EYE Roll)
but does it have a medicine cabinet?
He even has a medicine cabinet!
Medicine cabinet check, sink sprayer check.
I bet his building is surrounded by New Order places like Starbucks 👋🏼🤓🍩🧋
I think you should get pictures of the space when it was a factory, blow them up and frame them and use them as art in the entryway
This feels like watching a super long ad, because everything is “amazing, great, awesome” but secretly, he hates them and will change them.
Great apartment, and in SoHo too. One of the most expensive parts of the city. The artwork thing though..... Supporting local artists is buying their art....not asking for free art to hang on your walls, and use as a "prop" for your UA-cam channel. I'm sure some are going to say it's great exposure because you have so many followers and they will see it. Your average follower probably won't buy an extremely large 5'x5' or 7'x'7' piece of artwork they see hanging on your wall. A lot of artists are struggling right now, more than ever, and just like a lot of others, with this COVID crap going on. Your "promise" of exposure isn't going to pay the bills. If you can afford a SoHo loft, you can afford to support an artist and buy their art. Other than that congrats with the new place. It's really nice. :)
Exactly what I thought when he said it
well said!!
I love how Theo is your biggest fan. Following you around for the entire vlog so cute.
He’s my shadow!
@@erikvanconover definitely can't blame him LOL
Every time I visit his video, he’s always living in a new apartment
Yea agree, never met anyone who moves as much. I kinda think he moves in temporary while the owner allows him to stay short term, and then he sells it. So basically he is living in his listings.
SAME HAHA
@@mikeherschhersch82 Quite awesome. Living in new places are fun, but the moving itself is not.
truth. this is #10. dizzying. he says it's his last rental so, he is moving again. at some point.
How much would it cost to buy or rent a place like this?
I think it's cool for people who subscribed to your channel back in the day when you lived in those tiny apartments to just how far you've came to and where you're living at now. I just love watching peoples hard work pay off.
I don't usually write comments. But I just wanted to say this is an amazing apartment. You should definitely keep the wood panelling this same the stain is beautiful. The doors were a genius idea to keep it close the open. Bravo to the people that lived there before. Also that book nook area is amazing idea.
"I don't need all this space, so I'm going to move to another 2k+ sf apartment, with an additional storage locker"
My first thought before I even started the video. This place is huge too! Haha
@@ryancaldwell9463 it's bonkers.
I think it's less expensive than the other one ( that's what he wanted )
I think it's cause the old apartment had memories with his ex
@@gidd Ex? They broke up? Internet time moves faster than real life.
Interior design student here. First of all, you should keep the loft window area the wood tone that it already is. Its such a beautiful color. Secondly, I would highly suggest getting an island. There is little room in the kitchen to prep food so the island will give you more prep room but also act as a way to break up the space and create a defined kitchen area. I would also suggest getting plants to bring life and most importantly color to the space. With such high ceilings and everything being white in the apartment it can give the sense that no one really lives in the apartment. I would also say getting natural linen curtains to go over your windows and also the wall that you are creating. It seems like you love simple neutral colors for your home interior and bringing in a different tone of white/beige can go a long way to making it feel like your home and not just an apartment you sleep in. I would also suggest getting rugs and decor that has texture. Our tactile sense is a huge part in which we experience design and the world. I would also probably mount the tv on the wall between the windows because it looks like a picture frame anyways. Also, I would get either a natural wood dinning room table or a mixture of concrete and wood to give it again more texture and visual interest.
You should definitely put an island across the kitchen it will look soooooo nice
Congrats Erik - the spot is incredible!
That's it!
Dude I love your videos!
@@Nxrth2001 right??! Bingewatching all his vids for the past few days hahaha
Thank you 🙏🏼 Fired up to be back in NyC for the summer
love u brett
I actually love this place so much more then the last. It’s so much more interesting more character and more possibilities.
Totally agree 👍
Wow Erik, I've been watching since you were in the little apartment with Jess and I can't believe how much you've achieved since than. It's so amazing and inspiring to see how you started to where you are now.
Q
You move almost as much as I do 😅 Congrats on the new space!
Do a colab w an interior designer! would be really interesting to see their ideas on how to fill in all of this space
This is what I like about Erik , he doesn’t let set backs stop him💯
Setbacks are slingshots in disguise. I had a solid two months of brutal Fkn heartbreak and depression this winter. Some days can still be tough but I’m moving forward like a freight train. Blinders on. Happy Sunday 👊🏼
@@erikvanconover Just want to give you a big bear hug if I could ❤️
@@erikvanconover Hanna and u no longer together?
@@rushilagarwal7663 shayad, maybe
@@rushilagarwal7663 nope :/
I remember following you yearssss ago whenever you moved into your tiny nyc apartment! This is beautiful and it’s crazy how blessed you are!
Congrats, Erik!! Wow, it’s been years since I last saw some of your videos. So much have happened. I remember when you and Jess were still in a very small apartment, and now I’m really happy with how far you’ve gone!! ✨
"And I'm gonna keep it real minimal, just the essentials"
_buys a 12 foot dining table_
In my place, the Bauhaus lighting is done and the last thing I need to do isnlighten up the space is finding a smaller chair that fits with the modern look I’m going for. Erik has a style that works for him and once he figures out what arrangement suits the place, it will come together.
Good design does that no matter where you live and what you personally like best.
🤔 I don't think minimalism is about the size of the things you have, it's more about the number and usefulness
I like how he moves from the last place to downsize . but ends up in a bigger, better looking place. He's living the dream.
I think the last apartment that he shared with his ex-fiancée was actually bigger than this new one.
At the age, he’s now, I find myself thinking he should take full advantage of it because we only live once and despite my critique of certain aspects of his new apartment, I want to state for the record, that as long as Erik is happy, that’s all really matters. He’s the one living there, not us and we’re both modernists at heart. I live in a classic brick and corrugated steel building that’s in homage to the classic Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany and both the International Style and the industrial loft look are dear to my heart.
did he broke up with his gf?
@@wilsonw6487 new apt new fiance, always lol
Love the new place and the fact that you have the option to put your spin on it and make it YOUR apartment that fits your needs.
I love all the ideas you shared. Can't wait to see the end result. Congratulations!!!
I would definitely add an island in the kitchen, as well as a decently sized table. I like your idea with the glass window wall around to bedroom. Very nice apartment overall!
I think the brown wood on the sliding doors gives it a nice contrast from all the white around it. I would keep it as is but that’s just me! This is an awesome place man, congrats!
This space is so sick, seems way happier and more like a home than the previous apartment
It's like, totally radical dude.
What happened to the previous one wtf
@@Qjemuse they broke up so I guess he wanted to move out 🤷🏾♀️
I'm really not into the modern, stark white, minimalistic apartment/housing people are doing these days, but this place just straight up slaps you with it's character. It's so weird and beautiful, I love the history, and it looks like it's going to be a blast to live in!
I love love this loft apartment. That loft is pretty close to what I pictured in my head my place would be like if I lived in NYC. I think this is such a HUGE upgrade from the place you just moved out of. You have great taste in apartments. Well done!!
Hey Erik, congrats on the new place. You have a great space to work with!
Thank you brother 👊🏼
Also I feel like plants would be cool thing to add, with big open window and loads of sunlight coming in
I'm absolutely obsessed with this apartment! And I'm short, so that loft would make such a perfect bedroom for me. If this wasn't in NYC I would add it to my list of dream apartments.
The reading nook idea for the shorter loft area is a super cute idea! Cooper is so cute too
yes for the kitchen island ! Here, it elongates the room even more, the kitchen has a weird hallway kind of vibe, I think with a kitchen island it would feel that much more its own "room" / area.
or breakfast bar / island like you said would be perfect
That is such a unique spot, it definitely fits you well man!
thank you Cody!
You know Eric is a good guy.....because of how he treats Theo and Cooper.
With all the space this place has, they could of made a large cool bathroom!
I love Theo in all the shots, chillin. What a good boy.
Erik: "I'm going to travel a lot, so I need to move out to downsize."
Sure. "Downsize".
10k a month 🥲🥲🥲
Right?
Yeah, I get the feeling he's not really being honest about why he moved.
Personally I like the wood aesthetic more. Especially if there is other wood furniture or art to match it.
I agree completely.
Yep. Wood is better. Especially if you get a big old wooden table.
Yes,
This place is so beautiful!!! Congrats Erik!
Congrats Erik! So proud to have seen how far you've come!
Gotta be honest here, I love this apartment way more than your last!
Also I would keep the wood as is to emphesize the industrial heritage. Maybe you can remove some plaster to expose old brick? That would really complete this space IMO :)
I just can’t get enough of Theo! He follows Erik everywhere in this new place. Congratulations!
was waiting for this and getting it delivered in this format is so much more exciting
Wow! I can't wait to see how you decorate it! I have a ton of ideas haha! The whole black and white/grayscale look would be insane in this space, especially because of the natural lighting!
excited for when this place is completely furnished
Hopefully the furniture arrives by late June
@@erikvanconover hey erik where was your girlfriend
@@user-jm5dn4xy4j they broke up
Def better than your last apartment, which was a really awkward, overly long space with a cramped bedroom nook. But I have to say, I'm surprised you're still renting rather than owning!
I remember when you and jess shared that tiny 1 bed apartment!! look how far you've come!!
Sooo happy for you Erik and the place is great. Love the weekly videos it makes my day better 🙃
Tips from someone with a passion for interior design: definitely a kitchen island of some sort, keep the wood on the sliders, mount the tv on the side wall and not between the windows, get floor to ceiling (or like from the window “bench” to the ceiling” curtains in a neutral coloured linen and finally rugs. It’s such an open space that it needs rugs to create different zones, and remember to get very large rugs so they don’t look out of place.
Definitely needs an island. The kitchen is WAY too small. It just doesn’t feel right with it tucked away in the corner.
I was just looking at theo and cooper most of the time 😅
Are u on first name basis with the dogs 🤨🤨
Cooper is VERY cute!😄
@@mitchellhughes5180 he really is
same
Congratulations 🎉 the property is amazing and now a perfect home.
For the loft windows you can go for black or just a lighter woody shade to match with the flooring.
For the corner of loft you can have a small cabinet with a safe to keep some valuables.
For the kitchen, you can have a small bar counter next to the dining table with a wall mount open wine cabinet that's sleek and with dark wooden finish.
For the wall that you want to decorate with artworks, you can go with some blues and grey to give a color addition.
The living room can have a grey rug and a customizable mood lighting from the floor. This would enhance your movie experience or provide an enhanced relaxation and vibe. I suggest a long LED strip lighting to serve the purpose.
For the bedroom, I can suggest another partition to separate the work area. As the bedroom is a place of relaxation, you don't want to take your work worries to the bed.
I like that you appreciate the structure and the uniqueness of your new loft. I often see places I think are so interesting and different and it hurts me to see the owners not appreciate it like I feel I would. So I really enjoyed this.
And I vote reading nook.
Interior designer here: I’d keep the wood unpainted, definitely add an angled island to the kitchen, and yes to the L shaped desk. This apartment is amazing! Congratulations! -Noelle
This is an amazing apartment. By far my favorite out of all the ones you showed us. The main area is so spacious, and then there’s all those extra little rooms and crannies. Also thank you for doing the apartment tour before everything is decorated - I wish more people would do that instead of waiting so long until it’s perfect.
The moment the video started and I saw the apartment, I knew it was for you. I'm glad you found the apartment you *truly* wanted in the neighborhood you wanted to stay in!
Congrats Erik on the new house, really love the place and i hope that you and Theo are gonna enjoy living in it. Please release the fully furnished video soon
What your problem is: You need a place with two seperate rooms. this whole glass-wall thing is going to be a coinsink. You‘ll move out there in a couple of months, thats for sure. And this whole space upstairs is basically for the dog, since you can‘t even stand straight there.
To be fair, he's unusually tall. A 5'3" woman, or shorter man, could stand up just fine.
He is going to move for sure so the glass wall is a little bit too much for me. I feel like as humans we always want more and we're never satisfied
@@xpsaa5727 Agree that he will move. He said so right at the bat --this is my home for the next year. That is a ton of trouble and time--and is the landlord okay with building a wall? Seems crazy for a place that you are only going to stay in for a year and that you don't even own.
I think most people in NYC move every 1 to 2 years plus Erik already mentioned on Instagram that he plans to actually buy a house after this. So, this apartment will be his last apartment in NYC. The glass wall that he plans to build to create a bedroom is his preference and he likes it so there is nothing wrong with that :) It's ALL GOOD IN DA HOOD PEOPLE!!
Had same opinion about wall and low ceiling loft. Seems wasteful how much he moves. Hope he has time and energy to actually enjoy using the apartment. Incredible apartment nonetheless and enjoyed the tour.
You are my mentor and you've inspired me for the longest time. You are my Real Estate Hero.
Am a Kenyan UA-camr doing Real Estate videos and I hope to one day Tour a Luxury Home with you.
Congratulations Erik. It’s big and what you always wanted.
damn, congrats erik! iv'e watched your videos since the first NYC apartment you lived in on youtube. It's pretty cool to see you winning.
This apartment is so much better than the last one, this one is super cool. Be happy there man!
Wow! Such a cozy place, it really doesn’t feel like New York. You deserve this Erik!
It’s a beautiful place, and it sounds quiet, which is a must in a loud city.
I've been looking into studios lately, so seeing the construction of a wall structure would be awesome. Can't wait to see the next vid. This was an awesome find Erik.
Love this place! And to all who are reading this, happy Sunday! ❤️❤️❤️
Black for the wood ! And paintings would be really great for filling the wall space, the white wall around it , accent lights.
That place is a dream!
I actually like this apartment even more than the last one. More homey and functional. Especially excited to know youre going to have an actual bedroom! Cant wait to see more
So happy for you!
Congrats Eric! Even though I've never been in NYC, this loft kind of embodies all the typical things NYC stands for in my imagination. I really enjoyed watching that video.
Greetings from Germany👋👋
This place is definitely an upgrade from the last one
So much character, definitely more my vibe. Thank you for watching and happy Sunday 🙏🏼
@@erikvanconover Appreciate the reply legend! Stoked to see how everything looks once the move-in is finished and the bedroom is done.
This apartment is much better than the last one in my opinion. I love natural light it is the first thing that I noticed and I am glad you picked this one good job 🙌🏽🙌🏽👍🏽👍🏽
the layout is way nicer/useful in this apartment. congrats man!! love your context
Theo is a fur ball rolling around the house spreading happiness🤍
Congratulations eric for the appartment❣ you could surely add some indoor plants🪴 to the space would make it lively for sure✌
I always love open spaces as opposed to a bunch of rooms.
Absolutely love this space. The angle of the place is really unique. It will be fun to decorate and interior design for furniture
Love seeing people 🔥💪🏾I remember the old cozy apartment
Epic pad brother. Actually even better than your previous one. That low ceiling corner in the loft is perfect to just chill and work on the mental side of things! 👌
It’s a beautiful apartment, but it baffles me the fact that this is either something Erik is into, or something that’s a New York thing: big apartments that got only one single freaking bedroom. My Brazilian mind can’t grasp that, because down here that apartment would have at least three bedrooms.
trust me, big apartments are NOT a new york thing
Congrats Erik, you are amazing!!!
It looks so huge. This is definitely a dream home. My favourite part is definitely the windows. I love places with lots of natural light.
Bro I thought you said you didn't need the huge space in the last loft???
He changed his mind 🤗 let him be
I have a feeling that it’s more for Theo really
Yeah I don’t understand putting in a washer and dryer and building a wall for a rental lol 😂 that’s something you do for a place you own too!
Been waiting excitedly for this
Typical tj
Brilliant Eric. The floors are fantastic. Good luck with it 🥳
This place is insane. I love all the natural light and the open floor plan. Congrats!
Do NOT paint that wood!
Love ya, Erik. Cool pad.
I like this place way more then the other place. Even though it’s bigger seems more better use of space. Love the movie theater room.
I totally agree
Congrats bro. You’ve come a long way
Space goals
You should definitely do a bar/kitchen island to divide the kitchen from the rest of the apartment as you said! Great place, way more interesting than you last!
Nice place! I wasn't overly keen on the last one but this one has much more character!
It's great to see where you started and where you are now, it's something we all dream of doing, curse this motivational issues.
❤❤❤ I love these kind of Lofts can't wait to see what he does gorgeous
This place is bigger and way better than the last place, I wasn’t too crazy about the layout in the last place, congrats on the spot. Theo having his own space I’m sure he’s super happy about that as well. 😆
TOTES better than the last apartment! Congrats, Erik!
This space is so beautiful!!!
aaaaHHHHH! I audibly gasped and clapped so many times while watching this! As an interior designer in training this BLEW MY MIND. also, i vote yes on the L shaped workstation :D Ive noticed all of my favorite films have NYC Lofts with a ton of natural light featured in them, and its so freaking cool to see someone bring one to life, for real!!! Congrats to you and ill definitely be binging your videos. thanks.
