I used to think I need a super big dream house, but after watching a few of your videos about studio apartment and minimalism, it really changed my mind. Dream house don't really need to be that big, as long as the house you live in are comfortable.
I personally don’t like a medicine cabinet behind the mirror. I’ve watched too many horror movies with that one scene where a ghost would appear in the mirror when the actor closes the cabinet. I got no time for that.
Me and my boyfriend are just about to move into a studio apartment together. Thank you for speaking so much sense 😂 I fell down a rabbit hole of thinking We needed a ton of stuff! This has brought me back down to earth before going on a crazy spending spree
I appreciate your presentation style being "no frills" (as we say in Australia). You're to the point, concise & come across very authentic! Refreshing for UA-cam
Great video dude, You could always buy super simple black out curtains and use the projector during the day, I think the projector instead of a tv is such a good idea
Handsome Mr.Joe! Fun minimalist presentation... minimalist of 38 yrs agrees with the 'intentional' things on our life... like me, you seem to make it aesthetically pleasing too
A small tip: I also hate washing dishes esp when they pile up but I usually wash them as I have food cooking on the stove and have a bit of free time. Ig I got into the habit of multitasking and it makes a huge difference & saves so much time.
I honestly love small spaces. Especially if they’re bright. Feels sooo much cleaner and less stressful. I rent I room right now and it’s quite small and the rest of my apartment is pretty small as well. I’d love to get a studio in downtown Brooklyn but prices for studios are similar here (honestly a bit more expensive than Vancouver)
You can get a short picture ledge from ikea and mount it on the wall to the left of the mirror in the bathroom. It is just deep enough to put face wash bottles etc but not too deep like a regular shelf.
When I was living alone I always used my dishwasher as a large drying rack. I only ever had 3 of everything (except Pyrex that I have an endless supply of). 😅
A simple little door wedge can be put on the floor at night and no one is coming in, even if they have the keys. I have the same bathroom mistake, mirror with no shelves anywhere, so I put in some corner shelves myself, easy to do, thing wire mesh kind. I have shelves too high to use too, but I got a folding footstool and it is very long term storage, mostly toilet paper, just in case, lol. I barely go up there once a month, but it also makes a great spot to hide some cash. I buy detergent that comes in a pump bottle already. This looks like a Yonkers NY studio on the water, I also have a tiny sink, but at least a real full-size stove and dishwasher. But my dishwasher is too small for pots and pans, so is my sink, so I got a collapsable rubber tub to soak them there, dump it all in sink when done. I don't have dishes, I use all paper plates, bowls, and cups; except for company. I use bamboo towels, or Walmart shop towels blue, they can be washed and used dozens of times, real paper or bamboo towels are better for drying stuff. I am jealous of that huge fridge, my building supplies little ones, 5 feet high but still small. That closet is huge, way huge. Looks big enough for a twin bed. I would recommend the Sony LSPX P1 near wall projector, sure 780p but man it is awesome, don't need speakers, the built-in ones are more than enough to fill your room. Get them used under 500 now. I enjoyed seeing another micro-studio, I was in one, then got a bigger one, but now I am moving back to a small one, but it has a 12-foot ceiling, awesome for projectors.
As for the floor mat: you can get a piece of carpet you like cut to size and finished by a rug shop or an upholstery place, I had an outdoor carpet done like that for my old deck because it was an awkward size I needed
i feel you on the dishes! its the worst chore imo. i have only one pot and pan so when i cook i always have to do the dishes again. downside is if i don’t cook for a few days, the dishes will sit in the sink lol
I love everything. Except I can't handle the no cover on the doova. How do you clean it? What if you stain it? You could easily get a cheap white one? WHYYYYYY
I use some carpet tile samples as entry mats in my home and you can cut them with a box cutter to the size you need + they’ll be unique if they’re discontinued samples!!
“This is where we put our $Hit and this is where you take a $hit” 😂 , “We got Jasper for when we get really hungry” haha I freaking find you hilarious! new sub! Nice studio!
If you want a mat which fills the entire space, look on eBay for suppliers of coconut husk doormats, they're rubber lined so they don't slip, but they can be ordered at plus size and cut with scissors to fit the space. We've used them when we've sunk one in a space we left in our floorboards so that it is flush, with the floor, but totally possible to use without one, Just check your door will clear the thickness of the pile.
you need stackable plastic bins for your kitchen you can store SO MUCH more food in plastic bins, most people use bins in closets, i use them in cabinets too. I have a bin just for Ramen, ALSO get Zip lock bags and put all pasta and boxed foods into them as you can fit so much more into a plastic bin when you remove boxes
This is inspiring! So clean. Only thing I'd want is a little bigger kitchen. I like to cook. What's you favorite and least favorite thing about the studio?
You've turned the studio apartment into a home!! Good to see that plants have prominent role in the outfitting of your flat.
thank you!
Why is this so aesthetically pleasing though
because it's justjoelee
Natural light and greenery
Clearly the nameless plants should be Ding and Dong.
😂😂😂
What about Ping Pong

Agreed
I personally don’t like a medicine cabinet behind the mirror. I’ve watched too many horror movies with that one scene where a ghost would appear in the mirror when the actor closes the cabinet.
I got no time for that.
this a valid argument
@@justjoelee I mean, I already scare myself with my own face every morning. That's more than enough. lol
🤣
I be willing to risk for installing a medicine cabinet.
😂😂😂😂
Him: “So A, you’re not using your devices right before you go to sleep”
Me watching this at 11pm: 👁👄👁
Jasper 🤗
"I could just bury my face in Patricia."😳😂
yikes
@@justjoelee Haha, love the Article stuff though!
I love how organised and tidy everything is! Really nice how you encourage mindful purchases and zero waste in all your videos.
Jasper must be so used to you talking to yourself 😂
OH MY GOD WE HAVE MATCHING WASH MACHINES HOW CUTE
👯♀️
Me and my boyfriend are just about to move into a studio apartment together. Thank you for speaking so much sense 😂 I fell down a rabbit hole of thinking We needed a ton of stuff! This has brought me back down to earth before going on a crazy spending spree
I’m sick and bed ridden and your videos are keeping my moral up!
Noah Shepherd sending you love in this trying times💕
I died when I saw your dog outside. I thought he was on a window ledge... lmao
OMG, I just love Jasper! And, oh yeah, Joe too! LOL I love the apt bro, it looks really awesome!
haha appriciate it👌🏼
this makes me want to pack up my family and move to Vancouver tomorrow! the views are beautiful! great apartment tour Joe!
im very grateful to no longer be in -30
I appreciate your presentation style being "no frills" (as we say in Australia). You're to the point, concise & come across very authentic! Refreshing for UA-cam
Oh my.... A seamlessly integrated fridge, and a niche kitchen. Smooth. I Love It!
Recently, we dumpstered everything in our entire apartment and it's amazing. Simple Living is best! Bean Bag + Yoga Mat in the living room
Ok but it's so GENIUS! You just put your used clothes straight inside the washer and don't need any laundry basket! 천재이다! 천재 🔥
The other plants should be “Bing” and “Bong” ... or “Ding” and “Dong.. or “Ping” and “Pong”.
😂😂😂
im moving into a tiny micro studio apartment for my first year in college! im so excited and love your videos
Great video dude, You could always buy super simple black out curtains and use the projector during the day, I think the projector instead of a tv is such a good idea
Ñame your two plants “kim” and “chi” for kimchi😂
i like these cuz they are both different species
maybe one or two floating shelves in the bathroom can help with the lack of space or if there’s space above the toilet a small cabinet up there
Great video! You always present a really motivational philosophy and funny video! Keep going🙌
thank you!
I love your sense of humor, so happy I found your channel!
Handsome Mr.Joe! Fun minimalist presentation... minimalist of 38 yrs agrees with the 'intentional' things on our life... like me, you seem to make it aesthetically pleasing too
Jasper is adorable , love the apartment tour
Your home is basically perfect.
You are so funny! Great tour. Gives me ideas for my upcoming apartment.
Great apt ! For a great looking guy ! Love the decor & all the plants !!
Great place! Your definition of minimalism realy makes sense. Thank you for bringing some enlightenment
Hahaha I love the dishwasher storage.
made my mother proud
I waited for this video since you announced you were moving aaaand I have to say that you never disappoint me dude. Your crib is beyond awesome 👌👌
thank you!

getting enough natural light makes a huge difference and also having high ceilings 👌🏼
This apartement is beautiful!!
U r lucky to live there......
Now if every apartment came with a Jasper!
Peter parker for the spider plant 😂
"This is the main entrance way, this is where you put all your shit, and this is where you take a shit"
Caught me off guard lol but I love it!
haha never know what going to come out of my mouth next 😂
Super cute studio!
I saw someone sewing 2 floor mats together, just and idea
PS Jasper is a total 💎
Love your place but this one is the best. And love the fit of the day
FOTD, I should trademark it haha
This video made me smile

👇🏼Who came here for Jasper 🐶🐶🐶
meeee
The view is beautiful. I know the sunsets/ rises are nice.
so awesome!
Just curious. What brand are the washer and dryer?
A simple little door wedge can be put on the floor at night and no one is coming in, even if they have the keys.

Where did you get your utensil holder in the drawers? It's very cool
what are the amazon links for the frame and mattress??
That bed frame looks awesome!
I'm jealous of the view! If you want to bring more light into your space, you can use mirrors near your windows/doors to bounce light in :)
I love your apartment. You have done a great job. Thanks for the tour.
As for the floor mat: you can get a piece of carpet you like cut to size and finished by a rug shop or an upholstery place, I had an outdoor carpet done like that for my old deck because it was an awkward size I needed
do you need speakers for your projector?
Joe killing it as always
finally video with idea and not just you working out half of video... Nice
I love this apartment. Like what you’ve done. Oh why no duvat cover 😬
"This is where you put your shit, this is where you take a shit..." 😂😂😂
I'm looking for a studio apartment. What are the 'must have', 'would like options' amenities or features when you consider a small highrise apartment?
Black out curtains help w projectors if you’re gonna use them during the day
i feel you on the dishes! its the worst chore imo. i have only one pot and pan so when i cook i always have to do the dishes again. downside is if i don’t cook for a few days, the dishes will sit in the sink lol

Love your place especially the kitchen! Plant names ping and pong … just a thought.. hugs!
I love that dining table but I like having an open space in my small space. Looks good in yours though.
new sub. i like your personality ,i had many laughs. nice simple functional. 👍
Get a rug from amazon and for the squeaky door you can put any oil in a spray and spray the henges
such a cool apartment!! thanks for sharing!!
I use some carpet tile samples as entry mats in my home and you can cut them with a box cutter to the size you need + they’ll be unique if they’re discontinued samples!!
Do you mind sharing the bed links cause I don't see them?
“This is where we put our $Hit and this is where you take a $hit” 😂 , “We got Jasper for when we get really hungry” haha I freaking find you hilarious! new sub! Nice studio!
That moment when you said "We have jasper here when I get so hungry"...🤣🤣🤣 I am so sorry

Jasper is sooo lovely 😍
Inspiration dude! Love your channel!!! Just give tips on growing those plants!!!
Hi there! Where did you get the multie-charging station dock thing?
you need stackable plastic bins for your kitchen you can store SO MUCH more food in plastic bins, most people use bins in closets, i use them in cabinets too. I have a bin just for Ramen, ALSO get Zip lock bags and put all pasta and boxed foods into them as you can fit so much more into a plastic bin when you remove boxes
Love the place ! Inspired me to throw all my useless crap 🤣🤣🤣. Keep up the great vids
hey, can you link down where you got your couch please. Loved you video!

When you said immigrant child, that hit me right in the feels. This is random but I feel you bro.
Why am I sitting here holding my makeup train case watching this video. Nostalgia
Hope you’re enjoying Vancouver!! Your apartment is GOALS. Also love your v azn drying rack 😛

Where do you find a studio apartment like this?
This is inspiring! So clean. Only thing I'd want is a little bigger kitchen. I like to cook. What's you favorite and least favorite thing about the studio?
Favourite: Quick clean up
Least favourite: People getting butt hurt about why I dont have a "real" bedroom
Nice studio.....but Jasper is the star, here!!
JJL how do you feel about the Coronavirus? Are you doing anything to prepare?
