Yes please! I'm a veterinary technician who works over 40 hours a week and is also in grad school full time. Would love to see how busy professionals live.
jjjjjokerface, If you know anything outside of NYC, you will know you are not getting an awesome deal. Your getting screwed big time. And to live in skid row to boot!
Each time someone in these videos say "In New York that's a really good deal", I think man those real estate agents are geniuses! They've brainwashed people into paying thousands for crap and loving it!
For real though😭. I'm a UK girl considering moving to NYC within 5 years and I've seen luxury apartments smack in the middle of Manhattan that were cheaper than this. Some of these prices are actually ridiculous and you might as well buy the place if you're spending that much rent.
Yes!!! It drove me crazy! She plugged her business in the intro, mentioned her site when she showed the bar cart, explained everything using "I","my" or "mine". But I rolled my eyes so hard they almost fell out and rolled across the floor when she said "he was my lawyer when I was starting my own business. I think it's pretty obvious I was his favorite client." And the whole "we like to have a date night and I go over and sit on his lap." What the hell?! I think she feels she has to mention things like this so everyone will think her relationship is so cute and great because in reality, she's probably incredibly needy and he probably works all the time because he can't stand being around her. I know this comment may be mean, but she just rubbed me the wrong way. She strikes me as the one in her friend group that always steers the conversation back to her because there world obviously revolves around her. I don't know what her business is about, but based on the bar cart comment I'm assuming it's home decor and there's no way I would trust her taste based on the kitchen cabinets and contact paper counter tops. Ok, rant over. Lol!
Doesn't her life give context to the place that she is living in and the reason why she decorated her place as such? If one simply wants to look for home decoration ideas, one can look at brochures, go to furniture stores and use Pinterest. These videos are meant to show more than "Ideas to decorate one's sweet digs". It is called "MY sweet digs" because more than just showing one to their space, it tells the owner's personal affiliation to his/her sweet digs - and that inevitably includes sharing their life. Also, comments about her relationship with her fiance are just unnecessary. She was probably giving casual remarks when she said "throwing all of his stuff". You don't know the actual process of their discussion. So please, give others the benefit of the doubt before proceeding with your nasty judgements and comments. They can be hurtful.
@Pranpriya I was going to reply to you properly, but I can see you've aggressively replied to pretty much every critical comment on this video so I've got to assume you've got absolutely no life, way too much time, and some kind of weird vested interest in this woman's sham business.

I’m not as big a fan of Sweet Digs and their direction. I feel like the newer seasons feature hyper curated homes that look too polished by influencers. I miss the authenticity of the homes from earlier seasons.
You're clearly poor. If she makes $40k a month then 5k is nothing. You're acting like she makes $5500 a month and pays $5000 in rent. She can clearly afford it. Not everyone wants to live in a little town with $250k homes and $900 mortgage. NYC is an amazing city and the jobs here pay high.

I really love these My Sweet Digs videos HOWEVER it would be nice if you featured homes outside of London, New York or Los Angeles.

She got rid of his stuff because it didn’t match her aesthetic? I feel like that’s borderline emotional abuse. My husband has some decorative items I can’t stand but I’m not going to take down or throw out things that make him happy...
I don’t know what your demographic is Refinery, but I feel like this woman is not it at all. I’m not her I don’t aspire to be her and I don’t really care for her. If you’re going to continue to show us white gentrifying women can they at least be like, 24 and relatable. God.
She talked about her company half the video and i still have no idea what it is. Life coaching? How does she earn so much with life coaching? Who has money to buy life coaching? Who would buy it from her?
@@amdl270 One of my friends is a "life coach", and you would not BELIEVE how many ignorant people buy into it. It fries my brain. She only has a Bachelor's degree in something totally unrelated (I want to say it's International Relations?). She charges people 175$ per HOUR (!!!) for her time. Extremely naive people apparently pay it. Meanwhile, my mom is a very experienced, licensed therapist with a Master's degree and she charges 120 out of pocket, and much, much less if the person uses insurance (nearly all of her clients are covered by insurance, she gets "cash clients" once in a blue moon). She essentially does what life coaches do, but in a much more protected and educated manner. It actually makes me mad, these are basically vulnerable/desperate people who are essentially getting conned by a glamorous social media presence. Go to a licensed, educated therapist who takes insurance instead of paying through the nose to solicit life advice from people who aren't nearly as qualified. I, too, can't believe this is a thing.
He motions for you to come over and you sit on his lap......? "That's where I got engaged" on his lap?? So weird, not really a comment for this show....
Yes but consider the same couple living in Long Island or the New Jersey suburbs. Two cars, car insurance, and two monthly train passes to the city will cost about $2000 per month.
@@ba_3222 Oh, I forgot what's called a "commuter tax" - you have to pay it if you work in the city and live elsewhere. Might be $50 per month per person. You need to chip in for city services such as cleaning and city parks. Lots of people don't even notice it on their paycheck. It's B.S. because you can't vote for City Mayor - this in a sense is "taxation without representation" which is why America rebelled against the homeland England, but that's another story.
Hipsters are willing to overpay to pretend to be cool I live in Brooklyn not in a hip area. . But a 20 minute train ride from pretty much anywhere (sheepsheadbay) my rent is 1500 in a 3 bedroom I moved in last spring
Saw a duplex with a similar layout and amount of space yesterday for 2,500 and three bedrooms in Brooklyn, it was also closer to Manhattan, but sure this is a good deal
Habesha Fįrst Absolutely love too!!! Love all the ladies representing how they live. Rich, struggling, living off friends; doesn't matter. Great series!! ❤️❤️❤️
Not really. It is basically the same type of women and no variety in places. Only a handful of apartments not in New York and hardly none that don't have annoying vocal fry hipsters.
This is the only Sweet Digs I haven't liked. Well, this one and the chick that kept saying, "And my boyfriend." This woman seems super full of herself and the space isn't even that great. Please do more cities other than NYC, Los Angeles, and London. There is Chicago, Orlando (where I live), Miami, Dallas, San Diego, Seattle (I'd LOVE to see), Portland...so many other cities to choose from. NYC is now just seeming overpriced and almost all spaces seemed cramped and in the same nordic/minimalistic style.
What happens with the contact paper when you move out? The house looked like it was right on street level as you could see people walking by the window when she was in the bedroom.
@@frenchiehorn4339 Entitled because I sarcastically stated that I really liked the dig they showed this week? Lol okay Frenchie, you must be so fun at parties😃
Do you live alone? They're two people. So, double your 1800 bucks. And that's 3600 clams. Also, her fiancee is a lawyer. So, it's not a strain and he probably needs to keep an appealing place for his career trajectory.
Spunkymunky yeh $3600 + another $1k & im sure he can find something much more appealing for that $$ although I don’t see how that’ll help his career lol
You need to entertain clients and co-workers. I lived in a neighborhood filled with partners in major law firms and they need to have receptions on a semi-annual basis, after a company 10K run, for instance. In my own humble capacity, I had to maintain a house that was equipped for entertainment. It was the cost of my career path.
@@swicheroo1 True, but I personally think that for two people, $4.6k is a little much. I feel like that she has a lot of unneeded expenses, such as multiple bathrooms. Even when you're a lawyer who makes a very good income, I just think that you still need to weigh the quality of the house against its actual price. That way, you're not wasting perfectly good money.
a) those kitchen cabinets were tacky and b) pink dining chairs?! I don't believe for one second that the husband genuinely likes how she decorated the place.
Her home decorating skills aren't bad (except for the atrocious contact paper) But she seems unbelievably self-centered and I would want to stay far away from her.
Agreed, but she's paying for the location not the apartment per se. That is way too expensive though. I also live in Brooklyn. Thankfully I own two houses before they went bonkers on the prices.
I already love my condo, but watching these videos makes me feel even better that I not only own my space and can pass it down to my children, but also that I am paying a fraction of what they are paying a month and my payments will end eventually. 😊
Why are people hating so much?? This is a big apartment, a DUPLEX with a backyard, high ceilings etc etc....for under $5000 that's a decent deal. Not great but not bad at all...
Sounds like a sweet situation! My city is almost as expensive in NYC. They just built condos across the street from where I'm renting. Starting price of a studio apartment 500K. Complete insanity...
Everyone's been complaining about being shown the same "minimalism spaces in white" in these videos, so I think they're trying to diversify it by showing a space that has more than a couch and an accent chair in it.
Im speechless, but at least she has a dining room and a backyard which why I think it costs so much plus it’s two-levels. I’ll be honest though, I don’t understand having 2.5 bathrooms. The bedroom isn’t even that large to justify so many bathrooms.
I have an entire house with a backyard in a decent neighborhood for $800 a month... $2500 I can get like a 5 bedroom with actual marble countertops and a HUGE yard. NYC is so not worth it.
Her aesthetic is really different ...love all the tan, browns and blue, leather, animal print, black, not shying away from having stuff you love out...I'm feeling inspired. Edit: Where are all the people who were complaining about too much minimalism on this show a week ago? Honestly you can't please the internet 🙄
This is crazy. Especially for this area in Brooklyn. You can get so much more for this price. *’might not have stairs though which is apparently super important
Wow, Internet troll world. When did human's get so mean? Sarah, you are beautiful, inspiring and your home is a dream come true, thank you for sharing it with us all (ignore agree people tapping nasty comment, sending them blessings) xo
I’d like to see some more relatable people in this series. Maybe some more affordable rents, outside of the larger cities? Not just LA NYC... thank you
not fair since she did her house tour on her channel. is it really that hard to find somebody else? 🤦♀️ this is the only sweet digs vid I’ve ever disliked. smh 🤦♀️
Twinky Stars Tumor Reid I said it wasn’t fair because I am sure there are other ppl wanting to get featured on Sweet Digs meanwhile Sara Ashley’s channel already has at least one house tour on it. just to be clear I am not looking to be featured on here (at least not rn) , I just feel bad about the others that haven’t gotten on here yet. my point is that She had her own channel that has this, why does she need to be featured on Sweet Digs as well?
@@tatianazalewski3384 That's like getting upset because Ellen Degeneres found somebody to appear on her show. "Not fair. They already have been on some other talk show." LOL.
If she can afford to pay this in rent a month she could afford a mortgage and buy her own apartment, but I'm not judging if she is happy maybe she's going to do it after she gets married
CALLING ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS! Do you think you or a friend you know has a Sweet Dorm? R29 is looking for a cute and creative college dorm to feature on an episode of Sweet Digs! Must be in the Tri-State area. Submit your Sweet Dorm here: bit.ly/2MVXlFn
Beautiful space . I literally would kill for a second bath 🛀. Love how there’s so much light and what a great inexpensive way to switch up the kitchen.
It's all about location. There are units like this on my block, around the corner from Barclay's Center, going for 5K-8K per month depending on the number of bedrooms. These units are never vacant. There are wating lists for these units. My landlord's policy is to rent only, no sales. Sad but true.
For NYC, $5K a month is still not enough to afford a real kitchen. Most renters in nyc have what they call 'kitchenettes'. It's like amazing how she has full size appliances in her tiny kitchen. I feel Sweetdigs always tends to focus on more 'affordable' or hidden gem homes that are hard to find nowadays unless you decide to commute 45 mins or 1hr by express trains farther into east/north Brooklyn, Queens or upper Manhattan or the Bronx. It's sad how the nyc rental market is gentrifying sooo much and soo fast over the past years. When they say "it's a great deal for New York"... sadly it's true. I know some people actually pay that much rent in Manhattan for barely one bedroom without any real pantry space, a real dining room, a powder room, AND definitely no terrace.
I don't understand why there's so many haters in the comments, especially people who think they can comment on this woman's relationship or her business. If you don't like what she sells or think it's too expensive don't buy it?!? Having a lifestyle brand doesn't inherently make you narcissistic, and I really don't see how any of the comments she's made make her arrogant or out of touch - she just likes more expensive decor and can obviously afford it.
Aside from putting contact paper on the countertops in the kitchen (probably not a design choice I'd make, but I don't know what they looked like before), I actually love her home. I think it is really spacious and bright, I like the homey decor, and it's is a lot of room for $4675 by NYC standards. Plus, her outdoor space is fantastic.
It wouldn't be a Sweet Digs episode without a NYC resident saying, "I know this is a lot of money, but it's a great deal for New York." 🙄
a-roh and a bar cart
Great idea for a drinking game!
Also "my biggest splurge was my couch."

She talked about her company half the video and i still have no idea what it is. Life coaching? How does she earn so much with life coaching? Who has money to buy life coaching? Who would buy it from her?
@@amdl270 One of my friends is a "life coach", and you would not BELIEVE how many ignorant people buy into it. It fries my brain. She only has a Bachelor's degree in something totally unrelated (I want to say it's International Relations?). She charges people 175$ per HOUR (!!!) for her time. Extremely naive people apparently pay it. Meanwhile, my mom is a very experienced, licensed therapist with a Master's degree and she charges 120 out of pocket, and much, much less if the person uses insurance (nearly all of her clients are covered by insurance, she gets "cash clients" once in a blue moon). She essentially does what life coaches do, but in a much more protected and educated manner. It actually makes me mad, these are basically vulnerable/desperate people who are essentially getting conned by a glamorous social media presence. Go to a licensed, educated therapist who takes insurance instead of paying through the nose to solicit life advice from people who aren't nearly as qualified. I, too, can't believe this is a thing.
He motions for you to come over and you sit on his lap......? "That's where I got engaged" on his lap?? So weird, not really a comment for this show....
Remember the Seinfeld episode when Elaine's friend keeps saying "my fiancee, where is my fiancee" when they're at a party? Kept thinking of that...
5,000 dollars for a 1 bedroom in BROOKLYN. Nty. Holy shit Nyc is expensive
Yes but consider the same couple living in Long Island or the New Jersey suburbs. Two cars, car insurance, and two monthly train passes to the city will cost about $2000 per month.
@@BradThePitts probably true
@@ba_3222 Oh, I forgot what's called a "commuter tax" - you have to pay it if you work in the city and live elsewhere. Might be $50 per month per person. You need to chip in for city services such as cleaning and city parks. Lots of people don't even notice it on their paycheck. It's B.S. because you can't vote for City Mayor - this in a sense is "taxation without representation" which is why America rebelled against the homeland England, but that's another story.
@@BradThePitts ooohh that's harsh
Hipsters are willing to overpay to pretend to be cool
I live in Brooklyn not in a hip area. . But a 20 minute train ride from pretty much anywhere (sheepsheadbay) my rent is 1500 in a 3 bedroom I moved in last spring
Saw a duplex with a similar layout and amount of space yesterday for 2,500 and three bedrooms in Brooklyn, it was also closer to Manhattan, but sure this is a good deal
whew... i couldn't live with the bedroom being on ground floor facing right out at the street
Didn't expect to be hearing about a "perfectly roasted chicken" but for sure
Don’t ever stop this series let it go on for 30 seasons pls
Habesha Fįrst Absolutely love too!!! Love all the ladies representing how they live. Rich, struggling, living off friends; doesn't matter. Great series!! ❤️❤️❤️
I think she just snitched on her fiancé. Lawyers are ethically bound by rules that include NOT dating clients...
I stopped watching as soon as she said “I was his favorite client.” 🙄🤮 Gross.
He can still be disbarred which is what she was referring to.
Anyone else missing the weekly uploads on this series?
Well since so many people kept complaining about sponsored videos, now we'll probably get less of them because they cost money to produce.
It makes me sooo sad not seeing it so often
Not really. It is basically the same type of women and no variety in places. Only a handful of apartments not in New York and hardly none that don't have annoying vocal fry hipsters.
@@temeka4288 true
This is the only Sweet Digs I haven't liked. Well, this one and the chick that kept saying, "And my boyfriend." This woman seems super full of herself and the space isn't even that great. Please do more cities other than NYC, Los Angeles, and London. There is Chicago, Orlando (where I live), Miami, Dallas, San Diego, Seattle (I'd LOVE to see), Portland...so many other cities to choose from. NYC is now just seeming overpriced and almost all spaces seemed cramped and in the same nordic/minimalistic style.
+bridget We are working on featuring more cities this year! Thanks for watching.
I would love to see one of San Diego. I live there, and I would enjoy seeing what options there is, and value of property
Omg same. The 'and my boyfriend' girl was my most disliked SD until today lol. Oh... And the ' When I lived in London' girl!
@@lillustpotion i have been binging these vids i have fou d the me and my bf one yet....i gotta find it. Yes disliked this one so much!
@@MelissaRae1975 it's waaayyy back in series 1! Episode 10. I went to check and got irritated all over again! Hahaha
What happens with the contact paper when you move out?
The house looked like it was right on street level as you could see people walking by the window when she was in the bedroom.
I imagine, you just peel off the contact paper.
She said it's a duplex with multiple floors
@@IjeomaThePlantMama a *duplex* has 2 floors.
Every single NYC sweet digs video: "If you know NYC we're actually getting a sweet deal."
Me: 🙄
I asked for less unseasoned cribs last week, and you gave me a less unseasoned crib this week. Thanks for listening Refinery!!!!
+goopinthecoup We produce these episodes in advance and are not able to make last minute changes. Thanks for watching.
Why did they even bother replying? 😂
@@Polkadot2 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I feel everyone is being mean in the comments, but I died at this 😂.
The amount of entitlement in your statement is baffling.
@@frenchiehorn4339 Entitled because I sarcastically stated that I really liked the dig they showed this week? Lol okay Frenchie, you must be so fun at parties😃
Looks like an urban outfitters threw up in there... All one seasson decore stuff. NEXT!
LOL This lady did an apartment tour on her own channel a while ago, that comments section was just as epic as this one. I died over there too :D
I can’t imagine paying $4.6K!
I pay $1800 for a studio on the upper east side & that amount annoys me lol
Do you live alone? They're two people. So, double your 1800 bucks. And that's 3600 clams. Also, her fiancee is a lawyer. So, it's not a strain and he probably needs to keep an appealing place for his career trajectory.
Spunkymunky yeh $3600 + another $1k & im sure he can find something much more appealing for that $$ although I don’t see how that’ll help his career lol
You need to entertain clients and co-workers. I lived in a neighborhood filled with partners in major law firms and they need to have receptions on a semi-annual basis, after a company 10K run, for instance. In my own humble capacity, I had to maintain a house that was equipped for entertainment. It was the cost of my career path.
@@swicheroo1 True, but I personally think that for two people, $4.6k is a little much. I feel like that she has a lot of unneeded expenses, such as multiple bathrooms.
Even when you're a lawyer who makes a very good income, I just think that you still need to weigh the quality of the house against its actual price. That way, you're not wasting perfectly good money.
watches in poor
a) those kitchen cabinets were tacky and b) pink dining chairs?! I don't believe for one second that the husband genuinely likes how she decorated the place.
Her home decorating skills aren't bad (except for the atrocious contact paper) But she seems unbelievably self-centered and I would want to stay far away from her.
Seriously Sweet Digs, when did you become a video audition site for Real Housewives?
She is easily one of the most narcissistic person I’ve seen/met, like top 5.
not worth the money. this is coming from a New Yorker
Agreed, but she's paying for the location not the apartment per se. That is way too expensive though. I also live in Brooklyn. Thankfully I own two houses before they went bonkers on the prices.
1000%
Yall got engaged on his lap?
Haider Ali LOLOLOL💀💀💀🤠🔫😵
I already love my condo, but watching these videos makes me feel even better that I not only own my space and can pass it down to my children, but also that I am paying a fraction of what they are paying a month and my payments will end eventually. 😊
that kitchen fugly tho
Why are people hating so much?? This is a big apartment, a DUPLEX with a backyard, high ceilings etc etc....for under $5000 that's a decent deal. Not great but not bad at all...
“i got rid of all of his stuff...rip jared’s old stuff” wtf?
Ill stick with my 6 bedroom townhouse in Ireland. My mortgage is like an 8th what she pays.
Sounds like a sweet situation! My city is almost as expensive in NYC. They just built condos across the street from where I'm renting. Starting price of a studio apartment 500K. Complete insanity...
I love this place and the decor. I would never leave home and actually interact socially if I lived here. It’s just too cozy.
+mickeym Agreed!
gorgeous home! i love that they got engaged in their home, means that memory will always be there :)
until the landlord raises the rent by another $1000
Nice space but she has WAY too much going on. Too much "stuff."
Everyone's been complaining about being shown the same "minimalism spaces in white" in these videos, so I think they're trying to diversify it by showing a space that has more than a couch and an accent chair in it.
I was going to say the same thing. No matter what they will find a way to complain. While I prefer the minimalist look . I like this.
@@emiliamosher9619 the aesthetic wasn't very much different from their other videos tho, idk if it's just me
You probably have your home with a lot less stuff but that’s just your preference!
Im speechless, but at least she has a dining room and a backyard which why I think it costs so much plus it’s two-levels. I’ll be honest though, I don’t understand having 2.5 bathrooms. The bedroom isn’t even that large to justify so many bathrooms.
I have an entire house with a backyard in a decent neighborhood for $800 a month... $2500 I can get like a 5 bedroom with actual marble countertops and a HUGE yard. NYC is so not worth it.
An entire house for $800 a month? Must be in a less desirable location. I notice you didn't mention where.
Lovely flat but almost everything she said sounded like a question. Why all the rising intonation?
Its called upspeak and its terribly common among younger generations. Its a learned behavior (mostly from the media, think kardashians)
@@krs123247 I'll take your word for it. I'm 20 years old and I didn't even notice she did that haha
It’s so fucking annoying 😂
It's called uptalk. Along with vocal fry, it drives me nuts. It immediately makes one sound dumb.
@@krs123247 she is not young though. She looks mid forties
This is ridiculous, this is why people are being forced out of Brooklyn. $4,700 is not reasonable!!
Such a beautiful home with a lot of space for $5000! Every area in your space is very beautifully decorated ❤️
Her aesthetic is really different ...love all the tan, browns and blue, leather, animal print, black, not shying away from having stuff you love out...I'm feeling inspired.
Edit: Where are all the people who were complaining about too much minimalism on this show a week ago? Honestly you can't please the internet 🙄
What a stunning space! New York rent is unreal
FyazaWhatashunninspae!
This is crazy. Especially for this area in Brooklyn. You can get so much more for this price. *’might not have stairs though which is apparently super important
she sure has a lot to say
Wow, Internet troll world. When did human's get so mean? Sarah, you are beautiful, inspiring and your home is a dream come true, thank you for sharing it with us all (ignore agree people tapping nasty comment, sending them blessings) xo
I’d like to see some more relatable people in this series. Maybe some more affordable rents, outside of the larger cities? Not just LA NYC... thank you
not fair since she did her house tour on her channel. is it really that hard to find somebody else? 🤦♀️ this is the only sweet digs vid I’ve ever disliked. smh 🤦♀️
I've never seen her before so I guess for people like me who watch this channel it was pretty cool
Not fair? What r u talking about?
Twinky Stars Tumor Reid I said it wasn’t fair because I am sure there are other ppl wanting to get featured on Sweet Digs meanwhile Sara Ashley’s channel already has at least one house tour on it. just to be clear I am not looking to be featured on here (at least not rn) , I just feel bad about the others that haven’t gotten on here yet. my point is that She had her own channel that has this, why does she need to be featured on Sweet Digs as well?
@@tatianazalewski3384 That's like getting upset because Ellen Degeneres found somebody to appear on her show. "Not fair. They already have been on some other talk show." LOL.
If she can afford to pay this in rent a month she could afford a mortgage and buy her own apartment, but I'm not judging if she is happy maybe she's going to do it after she gets married
Love it. Especially love the two levels and the outdoor space. That is unheard of at that price.
I like this apartment, there is a lot of stuff but I think it’s interesting and makes a home cozier. The stairs are amazing.
Lovely home! Love the interior design and cosy furniture.
Totally not worth $5000.

Once I got over the rent, the apartment might be the most stunning I have ever see...
Beautiful space . I literally would kill for a second bath 🛀. Love how there’s so much light and what a great inexpensive way to switch up the kitchen.
6:52 I think we found her boyfriends stuff...
It's all about location. There are units like this on my block, around the corner from Barclay's Center, going for 5K-8K per month depending on the number of bedrooms. These units are never vacant. There are wating lists for these units. My landlord's policy is to rent only, no sales. Sad but true.
For NYC, $5K a month is still not enough to afford a real kitchen. Most renters in nyc have what they call 'kitchenettes'. It's like amazing how she has full size appliances in her tiny kitchen. I feel Sweetdigs always tends to focus on more 'affordable' or hidden gem homes that are hard to find nowadays unless you decide to commute 45 mins or 1hr by express trains farther into east/north Brooklyn, Queens or upper Manhattan or the Bronx. It's sad how the nyc rental market is gentrifying sooo much and soo fast over the past years. When they say "it's a great deal for New York"... sadly it's true. I know some people actually pay that much rent in Manhattan for barely one bedroom without any real pantry space, a real dining room, a powder room, AND definitely no terrace.
The kitchen lmao
I don't understand why there's so many haters in the comments, especially people who think they can comment on this woman's relationship or her business. If you don't like what she sells or think it's too expensive don't buy it?!? Having a lifestyle brand doesn't inherently make you narcissistic, and I really don't see how any of the comments she's made make her arrogant or out of touch - she just likes more expensive decor and can obviously afford it.
She thinks she’s a celebrity
on her channel she calls herself the Modern Martha Stewart
ominous450 whats her channel
@@ominous450 lmao
Stunning. A design with great chemistry.
Aside from putting contact paper on the countertops in the kitchen (probably not a design choice I'd make, but I don't know what they looked like before), I actually love her home. I think it is really spacious and bright, I like the homey decor, and it's is a lot of room for $4675 by NYC standards. Plus, her outdoor space is fantastic.
that’s a great price for a home like that in that area in NYC. however, gentrification is wild. transplants will pay whatever to live in nyc
