I cannot believe you called that kitchen the worlds tiniest. This studio apartment is so big for a studio
considering a lot of apartments don't even have separate kitchens... and that one had a ton of storage, prep space, very big sink, fridge and oven and enough space for a big table that can probably sit 8 people if needed without it even being cramped
Her studio apartment is big than my apartment hehe! 😁
The kitchen in my apartment is half the size of hers.
Kristiana Noel I know that got me shook
Kristiana Noel I used to have a huge one bedroom (upstate ny, so much cheaper than LA). That kitchen was for SURE the smallest kitchen in the world haha. I had a stove, sink and fridge, there was less than 4 inches of counter space 😂 I could reach my hand from one side to the other
Your apartment is definitely 600 sq ft.. have you seen actual small apartments?? this is huge for a studio!
Kristiana Noel totally agree.
Yep my studio is 375 Sq ft. This space is impressive.
I got a bit of a laugh about that too. That's one of the most spacious studios I've ever seen in terms of bathroom, closets and kitchen. And you have a dishwasher AND parking?!? It's a lovely space though.
THIS IS A HUGEEEE STUDIO.
My one bedroom is 650 sqft (and most people think it’s small). Can’t believe she found a studio in Pasadena that big! Pasadena is an older LA suburb(ish) and usually the apartments are older and smaller in LA
I moved into a studio early November with my boyfriend as well. Last night he found me on the floor in our walk in closet watching TH-cam videos, and eating a full meal lol. The closet is my room.
HAHAHA, about to be me too!
😂😂😂😂
TaraK lol right 😂😂😂
If you think your studio is small, you should see my studio in new york. Your place is beautiful and spacious.
If you think its the worlds smallest kitchen, you should see more of the world lol
Hahaha I meant it as a hyperbole
lol that is true. Come to London
For $1600 I would have been knocking on the landlords door asking for my washer, dryer & the 100 square feet that is also missing.
Dee Gray I’ve been begging for a washer/dryer. They have a room but they took it out! So silly!
I love your apartment!!!!! And of course, you.🙋. I think your art work over the desk is a perfect level. It kills me seeing people Hanging they art soooo high. You are great.
Carrie Karon you are so sweet!!! Thank you!!! That’s a pet peeve of mine too. What do you think, like 2 inches higher? :-) And thank you for watching ❤️
your apartment is so clean and cozy! love it so much!!!
Thank you so much😍
I downsized from 2500 sq.ft. to 960 sq. ft. It took me a while to sell or donate what I coldn't; keep, but it felt freeing and I have no regrets. Keeping it simple is so much easier, I especially love plants, but are careful to keep it under control and tidy. You are doing great, your place it lovely.
THAT PIANO STAND!!! What an amazing solution. I've been so torn about the fact that in my newer place I've had to go without a desk to make room for my piano.
Now I have an idea of what to do with my sons piano.
Hi Michel! I loved how you made the most of your space without sacrificing style or making the place feel crowded. I made my boyfriend watch the video with me again and he said the space on the wall in the entry way to your closet was for a vintage door chime niche. He's an electrician and has come across quite a few of them. I wish I knew how to insert an image of it but if you do a quick Google search with those words "vintage door chime niche" you can see an image of it. ☺
How can you say your studio is small??? It’s huge for a studio!!! Omg and it’s literally perfect decorated, I’m obsessed! I want a studio like that!! And under $1600 a month??? 😭 I’m crying San Franciscan tears right now
San Jose for $1985, 400 sqft, with full size washer and dryer, water included in rent, gated community with car garage. Pretty happy, to others that is crazy money but its North Bay Area CA and I'm happy.
For those wondering about the rent: 1600 for a studio in Pasadena sounds about right. Pasadena is kind of nice and started off as its own city but LA expanded and now it's kind of an honorary portion of Northeastern LA. I'm a landlord and rent a one-bedroom to a tenant for 1950. The one-bedroom is freestanding in the center of the city--Midcity--and has a tiny yard and fence. And washer and dryer. I could probably get more money but I like my tenant.
Such a beautiful space. I love how cozy but spacious it is.
Your home is beautiful. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Love all your positive energy and smiles.
The apartment it's much cuter now... I like it. Nice job!
Reese Luxe thank you!
Love your studio apt ! Love the way you divided the living room &. Your bedroom area with the shelves !! Love the decor !!
Its crazy how high rent has gotten... I had a studio this same size 15 years ago and I was paying 350 a month with utilities included... Its a nice apartment but not for the price... I hate to say it but the only way they'll ever come down on rent out here is after a huge quake... Earthquakes always empty this city... If people are too scared to live here, more empty apartments, better rent prices 😀
Selendria Muganogo LOL I think about this all the time. I live in Cali and pay $2,500 for a studio apt. We need a quake! 🤭
@@technic_angel lol
Great studio and great use of space!! Totally worth the price. Especially in LA!!
One thing about older houses/studios is the STORAGE SPACE. I lived in a small house like yours and I appreciated all the built in storage. And for your trash can... I used a tote.. target has a bunch of different sizes, but just a short square tote under the sink and put a garbage bag in it! Worked perfect!
This is the nicest studio apartment I've ever seen and your really gorgeous and congrats even thou im late❤
I have had my keyboard for over 5 yrs on a quilt rack from Pier One. Fits perfectly!! I love the paintings your grandma made.
If those walls could talk!!! I've always wanted to see peek into how life looked in the past...like downtown, old homes, work spaces .
I just moved into a 520 sq ft studio apartment, and I think I am pretty satisfied with my setup. I am not used to small spaces, but I really like the area. I watched your previous videos, and I got a lot of good ideas. Thanks and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
Awe enjoy your new home! And thank you!!
I love the apartment, and wow, I knew LA was expensive but that's crazy. for a nice looking 1-2 bedroom apartment in fresno California(where I live) it's about 1000-1200 and houses for rent as well. But all in all its a beautiful apartment and I love the divider you made. Amazing!
I lived in a studio for 4 years with my husband it was 400 sqft and basically one big room with a 3/4 bath. I definitely got annoyed, But only because it was hard getting my own alone time to wind down from work. I being a nurse would come home exhausted and wanting to plop into bed, he would be up cooking dinner and blasting the tv. When all you wanna do is sleep the sounds, lights, and smell of cooking isn’t ideal. We finally just bought a house and the separation is great! He can do his thing and I can plop into bed. You seem to have a ton of separation in your home which is great! Best wishes for an everlasting happy marriage!
Thank you so so much! I can imagine how that gets difficult. Hopefully we can upgrade to a 1br sometime soon (which also means more videos, heh yay!)
Your whole place is just beautiful .. your kitchen isn't small I happened to be watching a video for the smallest Kitchen in New York and I'm telling you it was a size of a closet yours is not a size of a closet it's beautiful! your whole place is beautiful you decorate well and it's very cozy and welcoming
For the under the sink trash can idea, I used a round rubber flexible tub in black from Home Depot. I think it is sold as a way to hold ice and can beverages for out door parties? Anyway, it sits low and because its soft rubber you can easily flex it under a cabinet. I line it and that's it! I never liked covered trash cans anyway just because I throw away things often n random so pressing on a lever just irritates me as an extra step. lol. Love your place by the way! I paid $1525 in Columbia MD but got the washer n dryer n 2bdrms. I would trade it all for LA weather tho!
I live in a studio as well in Los Angeles 420 sq ft and I love it.. it's enough room for me and whoever I want invite over😊🍲
Shelve is an excellent idea for room divider with baskets.
I love your studio apartment it has a good amount of storage space you can also divide the space some studios are just to small you can't work with them
i would put hooks in the closet on the right wall and definitely the shelves in the bathroom above the toilet... those towels need to move away from the toilet lol
I have my trash and recycling under the sink. I've almost always done that depending on the place. There are rubbish bins that hang on the back of the door and pull out railings, etc. In my current house, I've simply purchased two rubbish bins and removed the lids and placed them side by side under the sink. There's room enough for all else (dishwashing detergent, etc.) and the back of the door holds tea towels, dishwashing gloves, window wedgie (cleaner), scissors to open packages, etc.
I love that! I'll have to go hit up the container store or similar to have storage on the back of the doors. Brilliant!
This is wild! I’m coming here now because you are taking a break from posting because you just married Jordy. It amazing that I found during you divorce and too you so happy now and in love. I wanted to help you channel out while you are gone by watching old videos. Love you girl and so excited to see you come back with the true love of your life.
Also the home you just bought it beautiful!! I pray that the problems y’all have there gets worked out soon
My studio is about 250-309 sf, no washer, no dryer, no dish washer, no AC and the building was build like 20 years ago. I am paying 1550 per month with only water and trash included. So, your place is amazing.
She has a sense of humour, and made me laugh. I subscribed!
That cut out by the closet is for a telephone. Houses in the 20s and 30s were built with these in mind. It's interesting to see how cultural changes make certain home designs obsolete.
I'd live here! Looks cute cozy and quaint!😊🏠🌿
I put locks on every closet I've had including every house closet that I've ever purchased because it's a habit from my roommate years. For my 370 sq foot studio... best hiding place is the bathroom😥 So bathroom is the only place to hide.
If i were you, i would move the bedroom to the livingroom, so the livingroom will be the first thing you see when you walk in, and makeover the closet to a home office 😍
Manooreta10 wron, she’s correct, a bed next to a large window isn’t ideal
Manooreta10 Totally agree I was thinking that also
I was thinking the same at first. But having a bedroom facing up the dining room wasn't a pretty good idea too
You have a beautiful studio...love how you have placed your furniture and styled your home.
oh I'm hurt!!
$1500 without washer and dryer!!!
i love your apartment and decor.
Iron board. For sure. Many had fold out ones since ironing was much more popular then.
Love your sense of humor and studio tour. Bed is in the perfect location as well. Near the bathroom and closets.
I love your place! Me and my husband lived in a 450 sq foot 1 bedroom apartment when we were first married. The kitchen was so tiny, but I painted the cabinets yellow and I had a tiny little window that looked outside - I loved it! Fun fact: the oven was so small, you had to put a pizza pan sort of sideways to cook a pizza. ;)
This was fun to watch. Really nice place. Love the way you decorated.
TL K23 thank you!!!☺️
i am sooooo happy i found this channel. i am obsessed!
Also you should consider buying the closet insert storage units from IKEA for your closet. Think you’ll love it
Funny story: I ended up in TJ Maxx a few days after watching this, and they had so many paper towel holders!! I got a really pretty one, that has been making my day every single time I'm in the kitchen! Thought of you! ☺️
Cutest studio!!! I love it!
Your apartment is beautiful! I just moved into my apartment and can’t wait to furnish it!
Lovely Genise awe thank you!!! Love that!!
perfect layout. I just would change for a Murphy bed.
You can put a shoe rack in the closet on the side that you don’t use the closet rack. Just an idea and I love your place it’s so nice.
super cute space
The cute out was a bell for the door bell ...there was long gold chimes tubes that hung down and would ring when pushed!!!
This is actually a lot of space for $1600 in LA.
I thought so too! Thanks :-))
I think that this Studio, is amazing! That's a lot of room for 2 closet, kitchen, dish washer and walk way to the bathroom! I saw a studio once that was the size of a bathroom! She didn't mention if there was a pool on site?
Your studio is beautiful 😍
2 closets, a dining area, decent kitchen, space for living room and bedroom, little nook, yeah that definitely looks like around 600sqft. Mine is 400 sqft and quite a bit smaller, and im moving into a 550 in a month and yours looks bigger.
You are so lucky, you have a studio apartment that can fit a dining area. Nice👌
Who is this adorable woman? How does she ooze charm and relatability like that? I found this after looking for apartment tours so I could get an idea of how furniture is arranged in different shaped homes. Then I cherry pick ideas and use them in homes I build in the Sims 4. Anyways, cute place. I love your couch, $300 is such a steal. Congrats on your engagement, that must be exciting :)
That's a huge studio! Beautiful. You have lovely taste & utilised space & layout so well. My studio has a tiny TV too, a wide screen would make it look smaller & cluttered.
beautiful place! and youre super personable and easy to watch :) love your apt tours!
The cabinet door on the left is on the wrong side. It should open towards you; not away. Not a big deal, yet if two people are cooking in the same space, the door could bump someone's head. Love the studio, great use of space... now over to Tastemade!
Loving all the home decor videos! 😍
You could put the trash can under the sink of theres enough room. since you'll be moving all or most of your food to the pantry, you can move what's under the sink to a different cabinet.
It's beautiful
Great size apt for a studio with great closets
perfect decor
Love your studio !!! It’s gorgeous! Well done xxxxxx
That’s a huge studio really nice place
I have what is called a "Single", which is bigger than a Studio. My place is 600 sq feet and in a wealthy historic neighborhood of Los Angeles. I pay for the neighborhood, which means I pay a few hundred more than you each month, but my rent includes ALL utilities and parking. My 600 sq feet looks quite different than yours. My place is ENORMOUS because I am a minimalist. Yep, one of those. I have almost nothing although I have lived here for 25 years! I also have a giant floor to ceiling window in the main room bringing in so much light that I was once a plant lady, too, but plants are like children, dogs, and men: too much work. I have two walk (one major) in closets and a total of five (5) closets. Ha! Most are half empty or totally empty. I used to have more STUFF 25 years ago until I took my minimalism to a new level that some might call insane. I am a floor sleeper. Not having a giant bed saves all kinds of room. I have so much room for Yoga, jumproping, pilates, dancing, etc. and I save 35% of my income for retirement, but my disclaimer is that I earn $$$$$$. I live in a Single to purposedly live below my means. Most people pay to store STUFF. I instead choose space over STUFF. My bathroom is SMALL, but does have a full bathtub and shower! My kitchen is sort of small, but has more storage space than I can use and since I am well organized, the counter space is just fine. Visitors initially make fun of my half empty apartment, but after they are here an hour or so, they do not want to leave. LOL..They say it is peaceful and the open space aesthetically pleasing. LOL! Cheers to small, but not quite tiny apartments!
P.S. You have a lot of STUFF. LOL! I never realized how much space NOT having a tv saves me! I have not owned one most of adult life, but I watch TH-cam (clearly) and an occasional movie on my large phone!
Your studio is so cute! I love how you’ve found creative storage solutions. Your 600 sq ft is more organized & styled than my house lol.
Hi Michel! Congratulations in your upcoming wedding. I loved your space it reminds me of my old place that I moved from. I just wanted to let you know, maybe it's possible that you didn't of this and it may not be an issue. Please move the towels from the sitting next to the toilet or even if you have toilet paper near your toilet area. Sometimes we forget the when we flush, fecal particles and other gross things spur from the bowl and it lands on our precious clean towels and toilet paper. Move them to an enclosed area or absolutely make it rule to flush with the top down. I can't wait to see your bathroom shelve that you are going to put up.
You've decorated well! Love how you made use of the space
love your apartment! just love :) thanks for sharing! & yes stranger :D i'll subscribe for that!
I think I'd put drop bead strings or something to minimize the bed view when you first walk in. I really like the couch, looks great!
Love your place, looks so cozy. Trying to get ideas. Love it!!!
Nice apartment where you made good use of space & decorations.
Did you find your apartment through an apartment search website or did you drive around the city?
Love your content!!! Thanks for sharing! Love your wedding/planning/engagement videos!
Your apartment is soo cute and perfect!
Your studio is amazing and it comes with a lot of storage space.
For trash cans under the sink you should buy the push out trash can at Home Depot, it’s really easy to instal and inexpensive
This is luxurious af!
I know by the time you read this comment it will be way too late. But with those cinder blocks holding up the keyboard, it might have worked to paint the blocks and use the holes to hold wine bottles.
I love your apartment!!!! Beautiful 😍😍😍
Beautiful apartment! Much happiness to you & your fiance.
I love your place.☺ god bless and best wishes.
That is a steal at $1.6K! I’m currently struggling to find anything under $1.8k that’s updated and over 500 sq feet. You got lucky girl! 👏🏼
That a massive studio apartment
Where did you put your litter box?
Your place always looks cute.enough space for you and your future hubby.super cute.
Thank you so much :-))
You’re awesome. Loved your cozy apt
When my husband and I are arguing in our studio which is 360 sq feet... I retire to the bathroom. Lol or just completely leave to to take a walk.
You have a huge studio! Love how you’ve decorated it.
I love this studio apartment
I love your videos and you live in LA and we live in Phoenix Arizona.
I think the closet has a lock and window cus it maybe used to be a small bedroom. I don’t know 🤷♀️
I always joke with brook that if we have a baby sooner than expected it can be a tiny nursery! Haha!
@@MichelJanse that's funny your bf name is brook, my sisters bf is Brooks ☺
Love this studio and how you decorated!!
Where is the cat litter & your cat?
