This was the most realistic house makeover I've seen so far, love it! Much more useful than people that have either nothing at all or put everything away, like no, that's too impractical for me every day 😅
My little tip for making a small space look less cluttered is to get boxes or picnic style baskets to conceal things in but that you can still easily get them out of. I also transfer my coffee and nuts or any other food products that are always visible on a bench out of their packaging into neutral containers- like glass jars- it makes everything look so much tidier
I highly recommend you wash beddings towels, blankets and especially under garments before u use it. There's a lot of chemicals in fabrics without a good washing you're exposing your skin to added harshness. Great makeover 💞🤗
Great video Sharla - beautiful apartment. I spent the last 8 days watching Connor and Chris cycling and i got to admit i was impressed with the stamina, perseverance and dedication from both. As i was watching every day i could not tell if they lost weight but they looked happy and healthy and so do you. I hope all goes well! Take care.
I have cats that love to eat house plants as well. I have found I can keep them without having them destroyed by putting them in hanging baskets away from any jump zones. Love the makeover! Also at 4:20 Maru reminds me so much of my cat when he was younger! Curtness overload!
your apartment is so cute!!! i'm planning on refreshing my place soon, it's getting so boring and dull. a tip for the frumpy baskets: turn your shower on the hottest it will get and let the basket sit in the steam for about 15-20 mins, stretch them out to shape and they should keep the shape afterwards. i have one woven basket like yours that arrived all wonky, took a couple of steam trips but it's perfect now. hope this helps!!
This was the most relaxing home makeover video ever ❤️ it’s not always about renovating, it’s about giving some love to what you already have! Emily UK
before i watch, i was just thinking its been a while since i seen a daiso haul from anyone. hello to you and ur lovily cats. sometimes we forget to reorganise our homes and just move in and never change.
I've been doing an apartment makeover for the past 2-3 weeks, so I can relate to how good it feels :D And I'm constantly finding new spots and corners to clean up.
Cut a long piece of cardboard to coil in the cat basket to give the sides support so it doesn’t flop over. Or you can put a slightly smaller plastic bucket 🪣 into it for support. Love watching your videos, hello from home (Vancouver island) ♥️♥️
Lovely video, I like the realism in this home makeover, just like anyone of us would do it. 🥰 It was interesting for me to see how you do not have the habit of washing the towels / bedding before using them, I definitely could not skip that step and stay sane 😅
Tip: (because I have a bunch of those woven baskets) Put cardboard in the bottom of your baskets and they won’t fall over 😊 Also, for getting out any wrinkles in your linen cloths, just throw them in the dryer for like ten min with a damp washcloth and the folds with come out super easy ☺️
What a difference small touches made to your home Sharla . Your bathroom and kitchen shelves and cannisters made a huge difference to your space and being able to extend the shelves in the kitchen brilliant. Love plants and the colours on your bed and cushions. Simplicity is the key 🔑 to making one's home feel beautiful without breaking the budget. Well done Sharla your home is perfect. 💛💛💛
For the cat toy bag get some liquid starch and soak in in the sink or a bowl or something with the starch and water and the stuff something inside to make it the shape. Let it dry. Water alone might work too.
Watching people organize is always so relaxing and helps to give me ideas for my apartment as well :) Also for the old towels, if Japan has any and if they'll let you donate them given the pandemic, I heard a good place to give such things to are animal shelters. They often need towels for things like pets giving birth and all the random spills and accidents that come along with pets. And also on that note, I'd probably still hold on to two or three old towels. Never know when you might need some for a spill too big for a mop and it would be awful to have to use your good towels for that moment. Ended up running through half of my towels when the spot where my washing machine was located at my last apartment sprung a sudden leak after it was disconnected and donated away. Was just about to walk out the door and lock up when the faucet erupted 😅 The area behind the washer wasn't the cleanest, so I was happy to not be using nicer towels for that.
ahh, kitties. they're always so helpful when it comes to trying to arrange new things. the little punks that they are, which is what makes them loveable. hard to ever stay mad at them when they go looking all cute. new stuff looking nice. the ocd appreciates everything being neat and tidy again
I would get a plactic tub for the cat toys, no chance of it collapsing on itself - plus, it's an extra area for them to hide in. The grey bedsheets brought the room more together. Those black shelves are amazing. Need to grab me a few for my place too. With the fake plants though - maybe get some decorative rocks to go on top - just in case the cats go investigaing and try to use the dirt as another litter tray.
@@sharlainjapan Here we just put two curtains together, the blackout on the outside, the nice one inside (on the same rod). It works if you have hooks or grommet curtains, if they have that pocket top I don't think that you could it. We do the same with the shower curtains: crappy transparent one on the inside, nice one on the outside so that I just need to replace the inner one if it starts getting too full of mildew. We buy mildew resistant stuff, but it doesn't seem to actually work that well.
You can cut up the old towels and use them as cleaning rags for your house~ also I loved this video. It was so calm and soothing and full of kitties! Yay~
All your small changes look very nice, I love the new cushion covers. I'm not sure if you have pictures on your walls, but I thought some nice colorful pictures would look cute too in your living room and bedroom.
Love the little metal shelves! They should last longer and just be nicer than plastic. Also, the plants are great and bring a gentle pop of color to every room. Way to brighten your day and your space! 😄
Always love your dedication on aesthetics and decorating your abode, it always brings feelings of warmth and happiness to live in a place like this. Wishing you all the love and happiness for you and your loved ones ❤️ P.S Love your cats 🐱
You and Chris together makes me so happy been wishing it since I saw you both together on stream. You both make the cutest couple and I am so happy for you both.
love the makeover! i really like the colour story you picked. gray is fast becoming my favourite neutral, it looks surprisingly warm if you add the right accent pieces. i’ve been feeling the need to re-nest my apartment so thanks for putting out this video so i can stave off the urge a little longer.
I love watching these even if it's not a huge makeover, it's more realistic actually. I loved all the little details and how your home actually looks like a representation of you as a person
Sharla, you're such a ray of sunshine, and your apartment looks beautiful and cozy! I've also noticed the ps5 box and was hoping for some kind of update on that haha😅😅
Loved the video composition and your decor choices! It's crazy how a few small changes here and there can give you renewed appreciation for your entire living space.
I've been organizing my desk lately so I can totally relate to this! Those assembly instructions...it's REALLY confusing when they're just pictures. I just got a bookshelf to put on my desk and the directions were like that. Thankfully I figured it out fairly easily.
I honestly love your videos like this so much, they are sooo relaxing and perfect wind down at the end of the day and really help me destress!! Love all your content 💜💜
Like the makeover! Do a skin colab soon! The green tea powder wash and the klairs toner are my solid go to's for way over 2 years now and such an improvement on my skin! Would love to find some other items for winter (like moisturizer) Love Maro and Tuna though :) so ya know solo cat vids are great too LOL 🐱🥰
@@sharlainjapan Very interested to see which products you keep and switch out. I nearly got the last set but never know what will work for my skin (balanced/normal)
I told myself I was going to clean and organize today but woke up so tired. This video was perfect timing! Now I'm going to make coffee and get started! Thanks Sharla :) Your apartment looks so nice by the way!
Ooo...the stone soap dispenser is a hook for sure. NICE choice. And I love the feeling of not just a cleaned space but a freshly organized one. It's somehow calming. The table cloth Maro pull was perfection. Tofu karaage is a thing? I wonder if I can find that somewhere around the Bay Area, California. Those assembly instructions were hilarious, too. May as well be Step 1: Remove packaging. Step 2: Make. End of steps. Super fun video! I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing!
Great video! When you were asking for some ideas I was hoping for some decorating and organizing ones. It is so satisfying seeing spaces be transformed. All the best to you and the cats (and Chris) ❤
You fill our lives with sunshine and happiness Sharla, I hope your and Chris' lives are equally blessed with happiness! :) 🙏
That’s really sweet of you thank you🥹💞
@@sharlainjapan You guys both deserve it!
@@sharlainjapan it’s so sweet you replied to this! 😊 @ASMRtist Sharla and Chris have been dating for a while. Power couple!
I like how the cats were in almost every shot, supervising and investigating the changes. It looks great!
I really like those wooden plant pot stands ; where did you source them ? Also what’s happening with the air bnb ? are you getting bookings already ?
The beginning where Maro slowly drags the ribbon of screen is equally funny as it is adorable. 🐱🥰
He was like, "Mommy, this is boring... ooh, ribbon! I'll take that!"
OMG I was just gunna comment this 😂 at around 1:25
Loved the refresh! That kitchen counter organization 🤤
Stoked for more countertop space!!😆🙌🏻
This was the most realistic house makeover I've seen so far, love it! Much more useful than people that have either nothing at all or put everything away, like no, that's too impractical for me every day 😅
I didn’t realize how cute it would be to see the two toothbrushes together in the bathroom 🥰🥰🥰🥰
saaaame! 🥹
I know, it made me smile so big!
Same!😍
I saw the two toothbrushes and it didn't even register lol I was just like yeah, that's probably normal, lots of people probably have two.
It was eyebrow raising to be sure. LOL🤨🤨🤨

Maro sliding along the table on the table cloth had me howling. Just what I needed to cheer me up
Chris *Cycles across Hokaido*
Sharla *cleans up the mess Tuna and Chris left*
Tbh. Maro is a big boy and he knows how to behave ;)
Accurate😂
Lol But love that he finally got his PS5.
I have those exact same shelves in my kitchen! I put mine over my microwave so i could store stuff above it :D
I've never seen something more relatable then you working around the cat! As a 2 cat owner, i do the same!
I highly recommend you wash beddings towels, blankets and especially under garments before u use it. There's a lot of chemicals in fabrics without a good washing you're exposing your skin to added harshness. Great makeover 💞🤗

I love these cozy at home vlogs and I'm really looking forward to any travel plans you have this fall 🥰
Lotssss😍😍😍 Bring on the cooler weather👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was the most relaxing home makeover video ever ❤️ it’s not always about renovating, it’s about giving some love to what you already have! Emily UK
The way Maro just gets up and moves onto your tablecloth and lays back down when you're done. 😂
My cats do that when we change bedsheets.
Maro's meows are so cute :) We rarely get to hear them in the vlogs. Asking to play with the toy he brings you :) So sweet :)
That was incredibly satisfying to watch! I love seeing spaces get organized and come together!
I love watching room makeovers, there's something so satisfying about them.
Adore these types of videos! So relaxing! Glad to see Maro's hair is growing back ok!
Yeah! It’s finally starting to grow😌🙌🏻
I actually never thought of putting a plant in a big glass vase. It looks so more 'naturey'!
I think the grey was a good choice, it made the room look like it was bigger

My suggestion as well.
@@phycobionic1799 me too! And me ! Me too! Dont forgot i said it too!! 🤣
To get rid of the creases you can use a steam iron to lightly go round the outside of it (as long as it is a natural fibre of course!)

It's crazy how a little change can make a big difference. Everything looks a lot neater and nicer
simple but big impact. suddenly feel cozier. Love it!
The music in your videos is always such a vibe

Nothing is better than just a few touch ups to make our spaces better. I love what you did with your place and that you're so happy with it!
Just those little things make a big difference. Good Job!
Thanks Art :D
The lil Maro and Tuna segment was adorable! Absolutely love how your apartment looks now!!
Looks so much more tidy! I love those couch pillow covers too
Love your Channel! Love Chris channel differently. And you 2 together: Chefs kiss!!! Perfecto
It's soooooo adorable how your cats come to you to ask you to play with them!!
Those subtle changes matter a lot. They change the entire feel and openness of a room.
Maro being so cooperative when you were putting the tablecloth on melted my icy heart! And Tuna is the most adorable being in the universe.
I like how Tuna 'helped' with the construction of the shelves.
Every automn I get in the mood of cleaning, reorganizing my place, and decluttering ☺. This video came just on time 😆
ahh, kitties. they're always so helpful when it comes to trying to arrange new things. the little punks that they are, which is what makes them loveable. hard to ever stay mad at them when they go looking all cute.
new stuff looking nice. the ocd appreciates everything being neat and tidy again
you're my comfort youtuber ;w; i get so happy when you post videos!
Little Maro just sitting in the box in the background. So cute. 🥰🥰
These kind of videos you make is like sit in front a fireplace while petting a fluffly cat to relax. Thank you for make my day Sharla!

Your bedroom would look so elegant with floor length curtains. Love the changes you've made 💜
Ahh wish I could put pretty curtains in there but the sun rises at ridiculously early times in Japan so I need to use ugly black out curtains -.-
@@sharlainjapan they don’t have black out curtains in Japan? I use the floor length black out ones and they work great.

These kinds of videos make me feel happy ♥ I'll be moving into my own place (finally!) soon, and I cannot wait to decorate.
Late to the video but love everything you had done. Love, love, love those planters! May I know where you got them from?? Thank you! ❤😊
Zara home❤️
It feels good to reorganize and make things over sometimes. Anybody would always need some changes here and there. Love what you did.
omg! Please stop inspiring me to organize!!! Now I want to redo all my rooms! Lol
i think the grey works super well for the fall/winter season and maybe by the time spring rolls around you'll find the beige ones again
I love the fur babies helping. My old dog has been barking at me non-stop tonight wanting food and treats.
LOL @ replacing towels! I still have some I remember from when I was a little kid so they're at least 55 years old
Okay this color green looks absolutely phenomenal on you. The way it brings out the color of your eyes and brightens your skin tone. Beautiful color!
I like the cozy vibes and funny captions :D I like changing up my space too
The way the adjustable shelf fit over the toaster oven is so satisfying
I love these kind of videos!
Your eyeliner looks so great here! The green sweatshirt also makes the green in your eyes pop.
Thank you!!! 🥰🥰
Yay, so fresh and new. All warm feels of that fresh start bring me happiness too from your video. Thank you for posting, from me from Victoria, BC. ❤
All your small changes look very nice, I love the new cushion covers. I'm not sure if you have pictures on your walls, but I thought some nice colorful pictures would look cute too in your living room and bedroom.

You and Chris together makes me so happy been wishing it since I saw you both together on stream. You both make the cutest couple and I am so happy for you both.
I loved how Maro and Tuna helped you decorate. 🙂
I usually don't find at home videos that interesting, but your videos are SO cozy and inspirational for my own at home vibes ✨
Love how the kitties decided to slowly follow you around 👩🏻
Organizing is so satisfying, the spaces look so different with such little changes.

I’m sorry to hear that Sarah, I really hope things look up for you soon🥺🙏🏻❤️
