hi loves ☀ I'm so excited to start organizing and decorating my apartment with you guys in this vlog! I decided to split this process into 2 parts, so part 2 will be going up on Thursday! Enjoy 🛋💕
Suggestion purchase a rolling counter for more kitchen space. The place is coming along nicely
Totally agree. IKEA has so many, and a small one on wheels would be great!
Hello Charlotte! Came across you while scrolling TH-cam and watched the apt hunting video. Thought I’d find you annoying since I’m 75 and air annoys me but I find your excitement quite refreshing. I vaguely remember being where you are in life with the whole adventure spread out before me. Back then it was “climbing the corporate ladder”. You’re quite fortunate to have a creative and fun alternative to that. Congratulations!!! Everything is coming along quite nicely. Love the utensils, butcher block and fairy lights! You are blessed with supportive parents. Don’t forget to cherish them and have fun!👍🏽👍🏽🎉🎊🍾👏🏽👏🏽🎈💕💕
Omg, same!
You should put the shoe cabinet in the closet and then get a consul table to match your tv stand and put that where the shoe cabinet was x
Highly recommend getting a coffee table where the top lifts up so you can eat/work at your couch.
Hide your modems and such in “fake” books. You basically have a hard cover book shell and put it so that the book binds are facing out.
Omg that sounds like such a great idea!!
You should get a little battery powered lamp for the entry table shoe holder! That would be so cute!
Ahh that would be so cute!!
@@CharlottePrattYT baha! I’m just living my own decor dream through your videos right now!!
For your bed, buy a larger bed cover so if your bed is a double buy a queen and your bed cover will cover the sheets.
My husband and I stayed at an AirBnB that had the best pillows. We ordered some from Amazon when we got home. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows Standard / Queen Size Set of 2 - Down Alternative Bedding Gel Cooling Pillow for Back, Stomach or Side Sleepers
Oooh okay I’ll look for them!!
for the media center you could put a basket in the bigger compartments and put throw blankets!!!
Hi Charlotte, I love your apartment. It's such a shame about the sofa. I'm sure all will come good with a swap for another one.
What about putting some legs on the shoe storage cabinet to give it some height? Then the proportions will be perfect, and you'll be able to lean a picture over the fuse box.
Keep up the good work, and you'll soon have your perfect home xxx
Oooh this is a great idea!!
Omgg I’m so glad TH-cam recommended this! I got done watching the first one you made like an hour ago and then you post this 😮! I’m so obsessed with this series!!!
The best feeling when the TH-cam algorithm has your back 🙌🏼 thanks for watching!!
Hi Charlotte 🙂
🛋 I keep my bread in the fridge too. I love seeing you put your apartment together. You are definitely in your Big Girl era.
Thank you!! I knew I wasn’t the only one 🍞
Looking forward to the finished product of your apartment!
You can always do side gigs on Task Rabbit assembling furniture. Too bad those delivery guys must have dropped the couch and probably thought you wouldn't notice the damage because most people put couches against a wall
I never thought about Task Rabbit but I’m gonna look into it!!
the tape trick to plan out layouts is sooo smart! loved this vid
I’m obsessed with your videos lately😍🫶🏼 I can’t wait for the next one🫠
Ahhh thank you!! 💕💕 new one coming soon!
You are doing an awesome job . For the tv console you can use cord covers to hide the wires. Love how independent you are.
Be sure you wash, dry in the sun and oil your cutting boards before you use them. Very important! Also do the same for any wooden utensils and you can use clothes pegs for clipping your bags shut, a lot cheaper to buy.
Great tips! What kind of oil should I use for the cutting boards?
It’s coming together perfectly, Charlotte.
Rule of thumb ladies, when furniture delivering ask them to stay and/or sign so you can inspect your furniture before they leave. I seen it as soon as the turned the curve to the living area and seeing the spot in the same area shows they hit a corner bringing it up to apartment and knew before placing it in the space.
So smart - I did ultimately get a replacement one (spoilers 🤭) and made them wait so I could inspect the whole thing
Yes, you always inspect the furnitures or anything that is delivered before you sign off on it or let them go. They knew, plus didn't even care enough to not drag part of it on the floor.
I love the shoe storage and the green chairs.
Your new home is looking absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Your place is coming together so nicely!! It's making me excited for my own upcoming move to a new (bigger) place this summer. Another idea for kitchen counter space: it definitely looks like you could find/make/get made a table that could fit between the left end of your counter and that window and still have space underneath for your trashcan or at least a slightly smaller one. I have a similar awkward gap situation between my fridge and the stove and in a place with limited counter space. It's amazing how much having an extra 1.5 or 2 feet of counter improves everything. Even if you only put your air fryer and decor on it that clears up space right next to your stove which is nice for cooking.
Omg I didn’t even think of that but that is such a good idea!!!
The way the delivery guys dragged it across floor im not surprised its broken 😢apartment is looking great x
Yeah I was feeling tense watching that too 😅 luckily we got it all taken care of!
Yes, I noticed that as well. And why was the sofa not wrapped in protective plastic. Far from white glove service.
I can’t get over how much of an insanely positive energy you have! Like for one I probably would’ve had a quick frustrated cry about the sofa😅 looking forward to the new vid :)
Oh believe me I cut quite a bit of reaction footage from that scene 😂😂
Hi Charlotte, your apartment is absolutely beautiful and it's coming together nicely. Your decorating so great, looking so nice. Wish I had you energy and decorating style. Hope you get a replacement for your couch soon, they have to make it right.
See you next video 🎉
I keep my bread in the fridge too
I have a similar media console, and bought two taller slouchy baskets for blankets, gloves and hats, dog items…hides a mishmash of necessities and looks super cute. Home Goods or Target are good resources!
ooooh this is such a good idea!! I'll def be on the look out for some baskets
That’s one of the best books ever! Everyone should have a copy!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I bought from
Bobs. Took 3 deliveries to finally get a non broken couch! Hope you have better luck than I did!
Ugh that sounds awful! Glad you got it figured out in the end 🙌🏼
Small wire baskets for blanket storage would be so cute on one side of the console
Hey as a 24 year old living on her own as well I highly suggest dollar tree or places like that for stuff. It's amazing what you find there for so cheap instead of bying the same thing somewhere else for so expensive
Ugh thanks bestie!! I’ve been trying to find some cheaper places to shop
Looking lovely, It'll be beautiful when you've finished!
I love those green chairs! Once you get your couch I’d get a long, skinny dining table and put against your windows and use those green chairs at the dining table.
I’d also like to add that you could get a backless bench to slide under the table and pull it out for extra seating at the table.
I had the same vision for the space!!
U can also get a n iliand ,u get different sizes aswell with wheels sooo when u not using it u can put aeaya
So glad you didn’t get a white couch. Love the console table
Love the couch was so worth the wait...have a great week!😊
❤❤❤the accent chairs and how beautifully you are making your home your own. Keep soaring 🦋
You did a great job with your new apartment in this video
I’d use them as dining chairs
👀👀👀
as someone who is moving out soon, I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!
Yessss I love hearing that!!! Good luck with your move 🫶🏼
AHH me too girl!! I move into my apt from my dorm on April 15!!
Love it so far, its really coming together very nicely. I would get a rug to put in the living room, if your couch ever slides.
Check out part 2, just posted 👀
@@CharlottePrattYT going now!!
Great building furniture star tour next chapter in your life
Yep! Tree needs a bigger basket!
You should go to a thrift store. You can find some great gems especially kitchen items
I’ve been trying to find a good one!
Love this for you ❤. You’re doing great!
Hi Charlotte. Your apartment is coming along nicely. An ideas for your tv console space could be to place figurines there.
Oooh good idea!!
good quality.👏
It Looks so Good 👍🍀
You have lots of cabinet space, maybe you can store the small ampliables and take them out when you need them.
I’m a new subscriber. So excited to find you just in time to see you move, organize and decorate!❤ Hello from Paraguay
nice couch
Your process is so inspiring to me , I’m trying to move out this year too !! And we shared the same music taste ❤
Awww I’m so happy to hear that!! Best of luck with your process 🫶🏼
Hey Charlotte! You should get one of those paper towel holders that hang from the cabinets to give yourself more space in the kitchen. But, either way I’m enjoying your vlogs!❤
You should get a board that will cover your sink to use as extra space when you need it.
Genius!
I’ve been watching this move in series and I love seeing the progress of your apartment!!
Thank you so much!!
Welcome to DC. I’m enjoying so keep up the good work.
Thanks! Will do!
Hi Charlotte. Can I make a suggestion go and look at Alexandra Gater. She decorate small apartments . For your different baskets maybe find some thrift stores and look at what they have. This will cut costs with looking for items that is needed. In your entry way you could use win-scone light and put them on the wall and use battery operated lights. This will lighten up your entry way. You could also cover up the electrical box with a brushed gold mirror that matches the hard ware on the shoe console. A round mirror would look great. Loving what you have done so far.
Hi Charlotte happy Monday afternoon and happy belated valentines day and happy presidential day to you and i loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter
Thank you! You too!
@@CharlottePrattYT your welcome sending you hugs ❤️ 🤗
Hello Charlotte!
I'm your newest fan, and I'm having fun watching your videos. I never could put the furniture together well.
I'm much, much, older now......but I am truly enjoying your "company". Keep up the good work, and the
videos!
Kind regards, M in New York
Charlotte your apartment looks extremely beautiful beautiful and clean and I was eagerly waiting for this vlog and I wish you have a beautiful week ahead🥺🥺🥺💗💗💗
Thank you so much!! 💕💕
Are ya still thinking about a kitchen island on wheels???Charlotte you are a Super Woman😊The wire hanging down from the television???
Is there anyway to hide that or put a decoration to block it???...
I’m going to get a white cord cover to help it blend into the wall better! And I did find a solution to the kitchen island problem, you’ll see in part 2!
Yayyy only 2 mins late!! Love your apartment 🎉🎉
Loved watching this! Your decorating style is so chic. 😍Keep up the amazing work! 🏡💕
Thank you so much!! 💕
You are an excellent Vlogger...very very good presenting... !!!!❤❤❤
The viral amazon pillows are the best! The ones with over 200k reviews. Perfect amount of squishy
You're Apt is looking great!
Thank you!!
I loved your tree so much, I went to your link and bought one!
Yayyy I hope you love it!!
Yes! Got it yesterday! It is really nice and full. I would recommend it! @@CharlottePrattYT
You could put your toaster and air fryer in the cabinet. I get mine out everything I use it and put it back. That way I don’t have to clutter my counters
It looks super cool🤗🩷
Thank you!!
I LOVED your content, i really hope that i can find my self a good work so that ican live alone and start my own life.
thank you! Sending you good vibes 🥰
Ovaltine makes my favorite chocolate milk mix too.
Yessss it’s the best!!!
Hi Charlotte I'm.a new Subby love milly 💕 Durban South Africa north beach❤
Hi milly!! So glad to have you 💕
@@CharlottePrattYT it's my pleasure hunny
Could you put one chair in front of the balcony window,( where you had the two together) and the other across from it near your ladder shelf? Better for conversation.
I thought about that too but you wouldn’t be able to walk through either of the sides of the couch bc the chairs stick out too far :/
Hi Charlotte!!! I’ve been soooo much enjoying your moving series!! Lol enjoying I mean you are getting me thru my work shift 😂🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 so I thank youuuu .
I wanted to ask have you considered getting a mini island for the kitchen on wheels? It may give you more space when you are prepping/cooking. And when your not using it you can roll it back to its place 🩷 also are you thinking to get a headboard? Sorry if I missed anything I’m still binging 😂✨🫶🏽
Your apartment’s looking great!! Sorry about the couch, it seems like nothing seems to ever go as smoothly as we expect either so I get the struggle. Also I feel you on the “girl math” with adding the white glove service with the couch, I’ve used that same logic so many times 😅 Like when my Xbox Series S went out and I was initially just planning to get another, but then was like “well I’m already gonna be spending $300 on a Series S, might as well spend an extra $200 and get the Series X instead” 😂
Girl math is so helpful in those situations 😂
New subbie here!!… welcome to the city🥰
Welcome!! 💕
Do you have room to put some kind of small island counter? If so it'll really help with storage and extra counter space.
apartment is so cute. something I noticed that Taylor Wynn is careful of is showing the outside view from her apartments. It could give way where you are living. Just a thought.
return the toaster and get an airfryer since counter space limited.
I have one already! I like using both for different things tho 🙌🏼
So sorry about the couch!! Hopefully, it will be fixed soon!!
Updates coming in part 2!
@@CharlottePrattYT can’t wait to see! 😊
Happy President’s Day!
Love all the changes!! Ya it's too bad they make wood frames instead of steel now on most couches. 😢❤❤❤
If you have a lot of books, stack them in the space in the console
Just started watching your channel, and love your new place, it's so homey already! Do you like cats? I just think you need a little rescue kitty to make it complete 🙂
Omg stop because I’ve been considering getting a cat SO bad… 👀
❤❤❤❤
You should a door caddy for the bottom cabinet to store your dish soap and brushes.
I was going to suggest the same thing. Even a cute dish soap dispenser would look better than a Dawn bottle sitting out. Definitely need a door caddy for brushes, sponges, sink stoppers, etc.
Girl why are you not going to Walmart, Ollie’s,
You could always put one of those chairs outside on your patio if it's covered so u still have them
I’ve done that a few times so far!! They’re the best 🙌🏼
did you start your new job? smart move would of been a neutral color sleeper sofa ( hope you can get a replacement for that sofa!!!)
Still looking for a big girl job - couch replacement updates coming in part 2!
I saw the broken back time they put the cushions on.😂😅
Yeahhhh it was very obvious in hindsight
$799 for a couch?? that's so cheap, in Australia for something similar is $1500-$2000.....
I mean with taxes and deliver and fees it came out to about $1200 but still! That’s why it’s called Bob’s “discount” furniture I suppose!
Take the pillows you bought at Costco back
Ovaltine is the best chocolate milk brand
Forget Lazyboy…….there sofas are awful I have had experience it did not end well. Your doing well with your apt may I suggest to split up your white utensils and knives ……too much white in one small area …..just a thought it’s your magic . Your sofa is sweet.
L.A 🇨🇦
I’ve seen a lot of people comment this! I just don’t know where else to put the knives 🤔 thanks for watching!!
Get an umbrella stand for next to your shoe cabinet
New sup ❤
Your apartment is coming together. That's too bad about the coach. I hope a replacement comes soon.
Definitely take photos of the damage. If they care about their reputation; they will jump all over this!
Luckily they were super helpful!! Live laugh love bob’s discount furniture 🫶🏼
😮
