    Flash forward 10 years and they will probably think these years - in this cozy space - were the happiest of their young lives.

      I have to agree on this. I had a 600 sq ft apt when my daughter was born and lived there for two years. It was so cozy and cute. My daughter just graduated high school and i would love to go back just for a day ❤

      I totally agree. The happiest home I've lived in with my parents was a little cabin; we had only a tiny sofa that only two people could sit on, and we used to watch TV all together, seated on the floor with loads of cushions on the floor. Now, their living room is so big that no one stays together anymore...

    In a time of hyperconsumerism and excess, this is extremely refreshing. It is absolutely possible to be happy and content and still dwell in beauty and abundance without having all the things. They've prioritized what is most important to their family and it is lovely to see and a great way to teach their children about what matters.

    The VERY limited color scheme in such a tiny apartment for five people seems so essential in making the place seem comfortable and not horribly overcrowded. Confining color almost entirely to their books is brilliant.

    The space is maxed on style. The husband seems to be a hard worker and smitten with his family. The wife seems content with life and uses her feminine touch to make a beautiful home. The very definition of what a home and family should be. ❤

      It’s my favorite, I’m watching it again. I tried to make my 4 kids childhoods very whimsical. Cinderella dresses, doll houses my sons had tee pee’s I’d make the tea parties with our neighbors. I literally had a white picket fence. They had wrought iron Bunny beds. My daughters loved their childhood. My sons ( they’re boys ) 🙄 this mom & dad are fabulous. She definitely is making a magical home for her daughters. Love their princess chair. I can only imagine what their next home will look like. Hope we get to see them again.

They are better off than the average New Yorker. A two-bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan facing Central Park is expensive and beyond the affordability of most New Yorkers.

Always remember it’s how you talk about! and how you talk to! And how much you value your family that keeps you in love. The second you.

    Husband is in law school for three years and wife stays home to homeschool their 3 daughters. I desperately wish we could learn what they do for income! The space is sweet and lovely and I hope they cherish this special time in their lives as the beautiful family they are. I find it bold to have children in this economy so I applaud them for bucking the trend of 2 or less so many families feel forced to do nowadays. Though the space is small, I know it’s still gotta be pricey in NYC in this location.

    This house tour is now one of my top favorite videos. What an utterly lovely family living in a brilliantly creative and yet thoughtfully curated space. I’d rather a 600 sq ft apartment in NYC than a 5K sq ft house in the suburbs. Their daughters could not be more fortunate than to live across from Central Park and experience all of the culture and wonderment of NYC. Bravo to this couple. (I recognize the Odin Parker NYC music box because I own it.) Thank you to this wonderful tour and for new ideas.

    It should be a haven where its located. The park sold them but the “address” is status. We pay $2350 a month for a studio in the Bronx for our college son. I can only imagine this apartment has to be well over $5K+ a month. Nice video!

    I couldn't agree more about their comment that the small space translates to a closeness. We lived in a 2 bedroom apartment for the first 10 years of our marriage with our two children. We moved into a large historic 4 bedroom home when they were 8 and 12. Twenty seven years later it is that first little apartment that is often reminisced over. We love our house but that first cozy apartment, I believe, really made the foundation of who we became as a family and as people.

    before you toss those artworks,take a picture! you can create a scrapbook with fridge gallery images that will grow with time! My childrens Kindegarten teacher gave us a CD of our kids art from school. Not everything went home. Now its a treasure. I luv the home you've created. There is lots of living around the family table. My memories, my kids greatest times were spent at that table. Now my grand kids, growing up fast are doing the same things my kids did and its fun to see my daughter play the mumm and show the little ones how we bake, do holiday crafts and cooking. We even made crock-pot apple butter in the fall... here in MN. God bless your NewYork Nest. Thank you for sharing with the world.

    Nice to watch a truly approachable interior of a family apartment. Not ostentatious, but thoughtfully well done. Form, function, family, and I believe faith have made 600 sq ft a truly warm and welcoming refuge.

    I would put a cabinet between the top of the fridge to the ceiling…put the air fryer and cutting boards inside. I would add under cabinet lighting to address the kitchen lights. I would add additional shelving above the bookshelves. I think this is a lovely little apartment and such a sweet story - bravo 🙌

    I can relate so well with the mother having lived with my husband of 35 years and two children in spaces varying 400 to 12,000 square feet and the most intimate spaces are what initially influenced my interior design business. I will add that the house that we owned and I enjoyed designing the most was 1200 square feet.
