    I appreciate that you discussed cost, I feel like it's so important to mention!!! it helps destroy stigma around discussing money & helps the people watching who want to live in a place like this to gain some realistic ideas!

      realistic ideas! i like that. A lot of people look at photos online and don’t realize how much money or effort was put into it

      It's just sad to see how delicate the subject seemed, as if she was afraid of getting hate. Obviously it's a lot of money, but if you can afford it, it is what it is!

    It's a very nice place. You could attach a curtain/roller blind on the inside of your bedroom divider-thingy if you wanted... Then it could feel like seperate little area. And you could roll it up if you wanted it see-through. Just an idea ^^

    How can a place feel cozy and spacious at the same time?? Yet it is. Full of light, warm colors, space everywhere. Thank you for sharing your home with us. I'm impressed at the general level of DIY you have in town, from the Sorry Girls to DIY Danie to Alexandra Gater. It's fun to see everyone working together to make it work. (And that light!!! So cool!!)

    Love your place! Can’t wait to get my own. I was planning to move on the 11th March but with everything unfolding in the world and my and my bf got laid off, we felt it wouldn’t be financially responsible to sign a lease (in fact he was laid off the day of our prospected move in so yeah). The place we want has a sunroom to the side of the front door and across from the kitchen that I plan to turn into my sewing space while the dining nook by the kitchen will be his guitar/work space. I can’t wait for all this mess to clear up so I can get it!!

    Love the video + your space Wendy. I really appreciate your honesty when it came to the rent + reno costs. I feel like every person in the R29 sweet digs videos I watch don't like to admit that they pay a ton to live in cities like NYC. In my opinion, if your space is a priority, own up to the cost! We all have parts of our life that we love to splurge on.

    more often than not, the sad part about creative works is indeed if you dont have enough money, you're likely to struggle and yess, also the environment and place you're working in, for some people, will begin to affect the productivity, and i dont know why's that but somehow me and my friends did work better when we felt comfortable with our surroundings, so i really understand why some people are willing to invest in something with their money.
    been following you for few months now and you're easily one of the youtubers and creators that i look up to create and work harder. i really wish you and your friends all the best so you guys can keep inspiring me and others with what you put out there for you and us. watching your videos really make me realize i gotta strive for something, create and work harder and smarter. thanks, wendy

    I really appreciate you sharing the monthly rent and makeover total, acknowledging it's higher than what a lot of people might want to or be able to afford themselves, and giving context about why it felt reasonable to invest that amount in your case. Really helpful things to think about, I wish more people would share those kind of thought processes.

    Friends keep the budget down! And I love the honest discussion on money. Especially for longevity standpoint, future people could consider moving to the city and have a good idea what it costs or what it once cost to have a better understanding of living costs. I also like the mood board. It just exudes comfy. The statement light is SOOOOOO worth the cost! Definitely unique and not something you typically see. And like how it pairs with the graphic privacy walls of the bedroom. This is a home, in the heart of town... so many memories and so much love will envelope you and yours. Making it a lasting home to come.

I love your velvet sofa, it is amazing how velvet feels so vintage but yet so chic. I love how everything turned out and I can understand why you and Daniel love your space so much. Thanks for the little tour of your loft, I really enjoyed it. Stay safe and healthy and I will see you soon, sending love and hugs, bye for now.
