i absolutely love the contrast of your glam and airy furnishings with the industrial architecture of the loft. I agree that the bed would look amazing against the brick, but as far as separating work from living and functionality since the bathroom is downstairs I think you made the right choice. I cant wait until you have patio furniture and extend your living area outdoors. I cant think of any apartment where you had a large enough outdoor area to do that. Carly, you're genius and I've loved every single one of your spaces!
thank you so much! I've loved them all too! I'm really excited for this one, it's totally different from anything else that I've done and it's so perfect for my life right now!
Omg I love your loft!! But I think the bed would look better upstairs, you could have your own little room there, and also keep your closets up there. And downstairs you could have your desk and stuff.
Naomi Mol it would definitely look better upstairs, but it would be way less functional... that's my struggle
Exactly so keep your bed downstairs so that you can also have a functional and beautiful space
Your apartment is honestly goals.. like this is what I want my future apartment to look like
agreed 😍😍
+Samantha Elizabeth hehe can i have her house:))))
Carly, instead of sliding doors to separate the bedroom you could hang draping fabric. It would look romantic. You could use different shades and textures and just pull it to the side and tie it to open the room back up again. Also might be a cheaper alternative!
honestly, I've thought about it because ti would definitely be a cheaper alternative- but I'm concerned with the fabric hanging so close to all the hanging drapes that it may start to look like a craft store in here. Ive never been a fan of curtain room dividers in my own sections [they look great in other spaces, just personally I think they look off with my furniture] we'll see!
Carly Cristman You should go totally '70s style and get hanging beads! Hahaha
Carly Cristman I also think that fabric would keep dust and its not healthy, yes you could wash them but not cool.
*Also I think your personal space should be super private. If you have people they cant just walk around like in a club.
Carly Cristman dont know about the size - but I have seen Ikea closet doors made of glass/plastic used in lofts - look up ikeahacks
yarzzz I love that idea! How cool would white draping fabric with fairy lights be omg.
That random light they put up, is probably to highlight a painting on the wall! Like a focal point in the room!
You loft is a dream!! Love how you put your office/closet upstairs!! I think it makes the space so much more unique! The sliding doors would be the perfect touch of privacy for your bedroom!
I think I'm in the minority, but I LOVE your bedroom on the first floor & the fact that the second floor is basically one giant walk-in closet/workspace. I think once you put up the sliding doors, it will be absolutely perfect. I currently have exposed brick in my apartment too and I can't even explain how obsessed I am with it.
For your island. You may want to think about repurposing a really cool cupboard by painting and adding a butchers block top and industrial wheels. I've done it before and it looks amazing. People used to ask me where I got it all the time. It quickly turned into a show piece. Over all I spent less than 100 on the piece of furniture. Then the butchers block was the most expensive so I purchased it in squares and sealed them. Today I would have someone install the top.
I think you did a great job so far! I totally agree with the situation of falling down the stairs in the night and i like the bed downstairs - If you get doors made from milky plexiglass you will get light in there and it would look nice. Also, when you go to work its like being in another place! Congratulations. I think filling the house with some trees and also doing some beautiful planting and cafe lights on that amazing patio will be fabulous!
It look's fantastic Carly. I like that you decided to put the bed downstair's and agree with closing it off the bed area to the loungeroom. You could easily put a curtain across there for privacy rather than bifold/sliding door's. I think a curtain would be softer and pulled back during the day would allow air to flow through as there's no window near your bed. Does the apartment have air-conditioning?
Yes please to a closet/storage video.
Nice! I think it was smart to have your work all upstairs. You can control the lighting for videos, you have the space up there, and like you said you can separate work life from home life. This was a great move! I also like the way you laid out all of the furniture. I personally think you should sell the bar stools. If you move again and need some you can just get another set. I think the slide doors are a great idea too...don't they sell some at IKEA? Another option are those wall like book cases that they sell at IKEA. Those would provide additional storage space as well.
SO in love with your new space! I love how artsy it is and your decor style makes it look so chic!
Oh my god ..
I'm 100% in love and obsessed with your new place ❤
I'd be the same, have the bed downstairs and see how you get on. I know that's what I'd do because id either fall down the stairs going to the loo, topple over the railings in middle of the night, or after coming home after drinks with friends the stairs would look like some mountain and I'd end up sleeping down anyway. Ha. Looks absolutely amazing tho! X
That is an amazing apartment - just WOW!!! I do feel the bed downstairs is a bit odd, but then again it's not like you're sharing your place with anyone so it's much more handy having bed near the bathroom and near the kitchen, instead of having to do those stairs everytime you might need the bathroom or a drink of water. It's truly beautiful - the whole place xx
I feel like once those doors are put in to section off your bedroom your set is perfect! I love how you have your office/closet upstairs.
I think a pair of sliding doors to separate your bedroom from the "public areas" will help. I lived in a loft & trust me that tight spiral stair case is loud & uncomfortable to walk down in the middle of the night to go potty. Especially if you are like me & you don't want to turn on any lights. I think some easy hanging opaque closet doors would be easy to put in. If i'm not mistaken wayfair or Ikea have some.
I can't even handle how amazing your place is. every detail. it's perfect!
I think sliding doors is the best idea, I like having all the livingness downstairs and your workspace upstairs!
Every time I watch your videos I feel like I need to take a course on interior decorating - your places always look so incredible!
Love! I also think the wall canvas breaks up the creme drapes really well (it all works very well together). My living style is cozy/library/bookish, but I genuinely appreciate your style as it expresses how I like my dressing/makeup/skincare nook to look. Simply beautiful!
Oh my how have you grown Carly. I remember years ago watching your videos thinking, this girl is going places. Now look at you. I'm so happy for you. Can't wait to see more from you.
You are literally my life goal. You've really transformed this space into something absolutely ON POINT. (I hate myself for using that expression but it had to be done). Great job Carly!!!
You should definitely eventually move the bed upstairs and make the downstairs area your work space. I feel like if you close off the area with sliding doors it will make the apartment looked congested and feel less open
Also I love your jacket!
I actually love the idea of the "work area" upstairs... I think the sliding doors would be great. It'll still look nice in my opinion :)
I really like your old apartment better. Maybe because the closet space have it's own room then, it looked more like a home decor. As long you like your new place then that's all that matters.
Carly! You place looks amazing. I am so happy for you. I definitely think you should get an island. You can buy it, but I suggest making a custom one. That's what I want to do for my potential apartment. I went to Lowes recently to get an estimate on the prices, the materials were soooo cheap! At home depot and lowes they don't mind cutting the pieces for you and helping you figure out what you need, as long as you pretty much have the design figured out.
thank you for the suggestion! That's really helpful :)
Hi Carly, I'm glad you're settled and you like your new place. To me the new place seems to late the warmth of your past places. I wishes you all the best and I can't wait to see more tours and videos.. All the best!
LOVE this loft - my absolute dream home!
I love it!! I would leave your bed where it is & then add your sliding doors ❤️
IM OBSESSED WITH YOUR LOFT
I love seeing the different places you live in; they're always amazing! I think the sliding doors are going to look awesome and I like the logic of having your workspace upstairs....and I don't want you getting injured so good decision making there
Yassssss I'm so happy and proud of you, Carly! Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next :)
Your sparkle of interior design is contagious!!💘💘💘
I really like the bedroom being open. I love it!
The sliding doors will make a huge different. Can't wait to see them. Frosted glass would look amazing.
I got so so excited when I saw this video in my news feed! Cannot wait to see how you finish decorating your new space! Your design skills are on point!
I would love to see your updated closet.
Love your new filming background! Your loft = goals!!!!! You're such a constant source of inspiration!
Your loft is so cozy! It is gorgeous (: A closet tour would be amazing!
Carly, it is so pretty! I love your new loft! It's so different and new and refreshing. Ah! So excited to see what you'll do next. God bless you and all your future endeavors !
SERIOUSLY obsessed with your new place, its kinda my dream apt
Your loft looks fabulous. It definitely has a certain warmth and homey feeling which you don't often see in lofts. BTW, a detailed video regarding your closet organization techniques would be awesome.
Yes, please do a closet tour. Love your new apartment.
This is my dream apartment! Wow, it's so beautiful!
I am obsessed with your new place. It's..PERFECT.
The loft of my dreams!!
Actually I really love the bed downstair! If it were my loft I would definitely do what you did and put the work space upstairs and the bed downstairs, I think it looks great :)
Beautiful loft Carly. You are blessed and highly favored! ☺🙏☝️
grey and industrial. this is LITERALLY EXACTLY what i want😍😍😍😭
I absolutely love this space! the only down side is the view but you seem to make the best of any space you're in !
I knew the closet would end up upstairs! I can totally see your vision. I can't wait to see it fully executed though. I know you're gonna add a lot of flair to it and it'll end up being way better than I imagine it now, haha!
Beautiful place Carly! I also think you should put the bedroom upstairs! I think it makes more sense to divide the office off from the main area downstairs. But either way it's great, enjoy!
Goals... Just goals!
I LOVE THIS PLACE I LOVE THIS PLACE I LOVE THIS PLACE
I'm really impressed with how much you've done with the space so far! I love the stairs :) Can't wait for the next update!
This so chique, glamourous and at the same time timeless!
Wish we had mirrored furniture in the netherlands:(
You are apartment goals!! Every place you move into is so amazing!
Gorgeous Carly..and I would definitely keep the bedroom near the bathroom...I can't envisage walking down those stairs at 3 am!! lol
I was a HUGE fan of the Chicago apartment but WOW...this place is amazing!!
I love the design of this! It is very chic and modern looking but I do think your bed would look amazing against the brick wall in the loft!
Thank you for the tour. Your interior design inspires me.x
I've never seen something so beautiful before wow 😍😍😍😍
SO AMAZING!!! so much inspiration for my move in a week! Can't believe how quick that unpacking was!
It looks amazing Carly! Looking forward to the rest of the videos in this series xx
It's gorgeous!!! What an amazing floorplan!!
Love the loft.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Seriously! You always know how to turn something so beautiful! (Not that your apartment already wasn't!) Can't wait to see the FINISHED product!!
Your loft looks wonderful! I have recently moved out and rented out an apartment to myself, so I know the stress that comes along with having to unpack, paint, organize etc. I love what you did with your space, and can't wait for more! :)
I think putting your closet and office upstairs was a great idea.
Major goals.
i'm obsessedddddd
For your bedroom you should but up light white curtains with twinkly lights so it will look really clean and pretty
I'm obsessed! I love the more industrial loft-style apartments. We have quite a few in Dallas, but they're just too expensive for me to justify. I look at them online all the time and wish I lived there.
Omg why are you not on home and garden televion !!! Loveeeeeee your style !!!!! Look forward for more home tours :)
I would love a closet tour!!
I don't know how you cope with moving so often but you obviously have a VERY god system in place now! Well done on doing so much in such a short time! Can't wait to see the difference the sliding doors will make.
Ahhhh!!!! Yay!! I love it, Carly! Looks so great and I love the office/closet upstairs 👌
Your hair is gorgeous. Love how you organized everything!
Literally perfect! This is my dream apartment.
Wow! Beautiful. I cant wait to see it with the bedroom closed off. Lovely home. :)
in-depth closet tour/organization please!!!
OMG YES! You have no idea how excited I have been to see your loft! Love love love it, good job!
Looks great! Can't believe you got that much done in just 2 weeks! And those windows!
I like the idea of the work area being upstairs. That way you can physically get up and walk away from work. As a solo I often work from home but I want to leave it when it's time to do some living and lovin'. Awesome space. The sliding doors or fabric separation is going to look amazing. And how the heck did you paint that wall!?!
AHH yay! I saw your pictures on Instagram and I have been so excited for this video!!!
so many goals, seriously your apartment is a dream!
Girl! F*CK YES. This is so awesome and amazing. I am so happy for you.
Your new loft is gorgeous!! and i would love to see how you organize your closet
thank you for saying the paint colour! i'm looking for paint and am so overwhelmed so this was helpful!
Please film the closet organisation video!! Xx
I am so happy to see this video! It looks really good so far. Congrats again!
Your loft looks great! I love the industrial feel!
love this apartment... i feel like u should definitely keep the bed downstairs bc the closet is better in the loft since there is a lot of natural light and you will be able to film your videos in there and get ready in the natural light
Completely obsessed!! ❤️ the loft!
Your place looks amazing! I love it so much! I would definetely love to watch an in-depth closet tour! Love you Carly!
If you put sliding doors in the living room I would seriously consider having them be matte white glass. I think that would look so good and still would let in light.
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I've been waiting for this video all week :D
Okay for some reason every time you do an apartment tour, it is also recommended that I watch it. Anyway I always love the way you decorate your apartment. By the way, you uploaded this video on my twenty first birthday and I don't know why it makes me happy, it just do.
Your place is goals, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw your closet was colored coded: I thought I was the only one. I'm now obsessed with the shelving too.
