  • Living in a small nyc apartment might save you money, but when you have to fix it with things from Home Depot several times a year, it makes you want to move out, go apartment hunting and get a better apartment in New York. My Small NYC Apartment needs help, so I’m going to attempt to fix it with whatever I can find at Home Depot.

      I downsized from 3 bedroom 3 bathroom house to a one bedroom condo 640 square feet. I live alone so it's easier. One thing I did was have no couch. I got one big comfy chair I can curl up in, and a chaise lounge that extends INTO the room so doesn't take up room running along a wall. I am slim, so bought a single bed. It's plenty big enough for me and makes much more room in my bedroom. I also have double-duty furniture. Several hassocks provide storage and seating. An antique walnut table on wheels can be rolled around when I want to eat.....wherever I choose to eat! I never feel cramped or crowded.

    @dianer8881 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    0:45 Hide the clutter by storing everything away inside matching fabric cubes ($1 at the Dollar Store). Fabric cubes hide clutter. Plastic containers continue to show the clutter.
    Store rarely used items at the top. Toys at the bottom for Violet. Cubes are easy to transport, such as when picking things up and putting them all away. Teach Violet how to pick up her toys at an early age.
    Open storage is claustrophobic and chaotic. For serenity, use the same type of storage units throughout a room. One or two neutral colors may be best, such as sage and tan.
    Cubes are also easy to sort and declutter. Organize items by categories, such as spaghetti, cereal, baking goods, etc. Fit heavy or large items between the cubes, such as appliances, canned goods, tall jars of utensils, etc.
    Before you begin, design a plan. Decide where to place the most useful items. Convenience is key.

    In the last 3yrs, I've emptied and consolidated from FIVE storage units in THREE cities to (finally!) just one unit in one city--but it's over 350 miles one-way from where I moved most recently. Purge what you can, while you can! It just gets harder as you age, and life FLIES BY. But moveable shelving units make life so much freakin' easier. In tiny spaces, you gotta go UP!
    I hope you enjoyed your cookies--you earned those!

    Decluttering is the hardest and best thing you can do. I have 4 children and became a single parent when my oldest was 8 and my youngest was 5 months old. All 5 of us lived in an 850 sq. ft. house, which I still live in. Anyway, I was forced to keep on top of clutter or it would have become overwhelming. We periodically donated unplayed with toys, and my kids had to put away toys they were playing with before they could take out something else. I had two small rooms upstairs (former attic) for my two oldest daughters, and a shared bedroom downstairs for my two youngest sons. We made it work, but the key is to be organized and eliminate clutter. It can be done, and it eliminates a lot of anxiety! Take care!

    That apartment is a great price in Queens, an even better price for someone who wants to live in the city. About your apartment, as long as it's clean who cares about clutter. You've got a rent controlled apartment in Astoria!!! That's a win win. Btw, below a couple of ladies are offering to help you organize. 🤗

    i loved the apartments in nyc(brooklyn) even the smalls especially the older ones , no matter how much landlords dolled them up you still saw alot of the old world charm, molding floors etc... i found when living in ny in a small apartment u have to be creative with storage ie: if its summer and u need to put away winter stuff i did one of two things , a large cardboard box would be used sealed then i found a side wall covered it with a large table cloth placed a side dish and a vase with flowers on (its so full it is sturdy) and my friends thought i had a new side table.

I also have sticks in a couple of my favourite jackets just in case I forget to take one out with me. That's not counting the three spare chapsticks I have just in case I lose one of my other chapsticks. All different flavours too. 😊

    The apartment checks some important boxes: elevator, laundry, sink sprayer! The kitchen needs more counter space but is otherwise pretty good, as is the living area. The bedrooms and closets are small but workable. The bathroom location is unusual. The rent could be split between two or three, making it quite reasonable for NYC.

  • @empoweringwomenwithtracey

    Good to see you! I discovered that many lip balms have petrochemicals in them, which dry the lips & make us 'addicted' to using them. These days I read the ingredients and make sure the stick is all natural. Well as natural as a lip balm can be I guess 😂. That way if I run out, my lips don't feel bad like I have to have lip balm on them. Re: getting organized around the home, this works for me. Whenever I did my big grocery shop I picked up a transparent tote (easy to see what's inside and less need for a label.) Buy whatever size works for your storage areas. Make sure it has a sealable lid. I grab stuff quickly & dump them in the totes, roughly organized in categories. ie summer shoes, travel bags, craft supplies, summer clothing etc. Anything I don't want goes in a bag for garbage or the thrift store. Then once all my stuff is in totes and I have a much better idea of what I have, I go back through each one and refine the organization, taking anything out I now realize is superfluous to requirement. This can be done over weeks & months. I get rid of unwanted items quickly before I can change my mind! The totes are easy to store and stack. They are portable and quick to access, the clip down lids stop stuff tipping out, and they keep unwanted critters getting in too. I live in a rural property and soon found out cardboard storage boxes are not good enough to keep our stuff safe and clean. Mice! And we just had pest control in for an earwig issue. Yuk! I am traumatized. 🤢🤮😖😲. I was so grateful for those totes that kept them out of my stuff. The thing about totes with lids tho, is make sure if they are big enough for a child to climb in, that the lid can't shut down on them. This is mostly a problem with hinged lids which I avoid. But when I had big totes around kids I drilled a few holes in the lids just in case. 🤗

    My mom is a closet hoarder literally, the house looked organized at a simple glance but if you looked in the closets or cabinets it was a different story. I had to empty everything out to sort it and declutter and now I keep my eye on her and make sure she isn't storing unnecessary clutter. A tiny apartment like yours with a child is quite an organizational challenge, good luck on your quest.

    Ken’s rating: A-. I’d give it a higher mark if it had a better view. Bathroom arrangement is rather unique! I’ve never seen two identical bathrooms right next to each other. I’d get the signs to mark them male and female. 😀😀😀. But that price would be good in Brooklyn, and we’re in Manhattan! Only NYC lingo would describe the rent as “cheap.”

    Hi Cash. it has been said that at some point in life we begin to De-Clutter our lives and our homes. It is an emotional effort. So I encourage you to toss everything that you don't need, repetitive redundant things can go. Give it away to charity, as the princess grows up, you can jettison the stuff you've grown out of. It seems you got lots of stuff stacked everywhere it can pile up. Get rid of it all !! You'll feel better when you can see the entire floor in all the rooms.

    • @jeremy1350
      @jeremy1350 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dishes: You only need 1 set or two. A few cups but not ten of them. Everything you have duplicates of, get rid of. You need ample food storage items, but not boxes full of tupper ware ! If you can pair down duplicates and redundancies, that is half the battle. I know you need kid approved dinner items, but whatever you can get rid of, is less that has to find a place to be stored. (Clothing) if you haven't worn it in a years time, other than seasonal items, them toss them. Decluttering can be a very freeing experience.

    I saw a video of a reversible wall on wheels that had a closet on one side and a desk with storage shelves on the other. A guy built it for his tiny apartment. He pulls it away from the wall when he needs to get into the closet, and pushes it back when he’s using his work space. I’ve been thinking of trying to build one for my tiny kitchen, with pantry on one side and dishes/pots/pans on the other…an idea to maximize usefulness while maximizing free floor space.

No one was allowed to fight over the bathroom anymore. Fun times.
