Who cares if some will complain this isn't a "real" minimalist apartment? It's lovely, cozy and not over filled. Also let's not forget the idea of minimalist is to own only stuff that is useful or that makes us happy. I'm sure everything you own falls under one of these 2 categories. Anyway, I LOVE your studio! ♥
I have NEEEEVER seen such a beautiful minimalist apartment tour. It’s so well furnished and decorated with still not being cluttered. I don’t like when everything is just blank, that doesn’t seem homey to me but yours def does. Awesome job!!!
This whole video and your personality and apartment make me think your this mystical character who runs through the woods barefoot with flowers in her hair following the flow of the river with a bunch of deer and forest animals by her side.
I feel that this is really less of a studio and more of an open concept one bedroom! Usually studios are one big square with the only closed off room being a bathroom. At least all the studios I've viewed in NY and California. Either way it's a beautiful space and I love your decor.
An open concept one bedroom would have a door for the bedroom. Its not a "one bedroom" because that actually means that the bedroom is its own room. If there isn't a room with a door (besides the bathroom) its a studio (also called an "efficiency") no matter what shape it is... Studio apartments used to be quite big while efficiencies were smaller, and then they started calling little spaces studios too. This is definitely a studio vs an efficiency. She definitely does have more separation than most, especially with the bathroom dividing the kitchen and the living/bedroom.
Always a fan of plants...and the one in the living room space looks happy with all that natural sunlight....but my favorite piece in your apartment is the tree stump night table - and the cool story behind it.
I love the colours and style. Mum sounds like a legend too. You are a lovely positive person with so much love and gratitude throughout your video. Thanks for sharing. I’m also all natural and minimal.
Idk I would make the living room a bedroom and the bedroom a living room there’s more privacy also when she has people over they don’t have to go everywhere to get to their living room
This is studio apartment .... wow is so beautiful !! I love your color choice n the furniture .... make the apartment look bigger!! You n your mom has amazing job to decorated your apartment !! GBU
Wow, this is a beautiful apartment set-up and decor; the "kitchen hallway" is a unique layout that I'm really diggin. Love the browns and greens; earthy hues, to me, are ALWAYS legit when it comes to decorating a home space.
This apartment is beautiful. I'm the same way with clutter. I can't even have stuff on my counters for more than a couple minutes without it driving me crazy. Portland is such a cool city, I always wanted to live there even just for a few months. Love it!
Cute minimalist home. Shows your awesome personality! I never realized I was a minimalist until I stumbled upon minimalist videos. I know i got minimalism from my mother. I love avocados too. Thank you for sharing!
I have great admiration for the very fine Video that you presented for viewing. I now have a much more informed view of the typical small studio apt here in Portland OR. Thank you for showing your extremely kind and caring approach to this presentation. Your wonderful comments for your Mom and all coupled with your wonderful personality gave me the final note needed to pick up from Albuquerque and relocate to Portland, OR. My oldest son and his wife and children live there. tks
I had that bed in college! When you said it took 4 hours I laughed! When it was first assembled it was the wrong way and I had to start all over again!
You need a mirror over that table by the door to bounce some light in that windowless area. The kitchen is VERY large for that space!rge bath ( no tub :( ...) BUT you have a W/D!!!Tha is a large "studio" apartment. Little weird the bed is right when you walk in!! I would have to curtin that somehow........or find shoshi screen
That's an awesome apartment. I would incorporate a hideaway or Murphy bed in that living room to sleep there and keep the other bedroom as well. That would allow you to have a window to wake up to or sleep. Place some string lights in the window. But it is great the way you have it!! I love the kitchen walk through and rug it's perfect!!
It is a lovely apartment, and it looks well planned and functional, and your design in it is almost a bit Scandinavian, very light and with natural materials and colors.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MORE BEAUTIFUL APARTMENT IN MY LIFE! and it's funny because I have always wanted to live in Oregon for no reason, it's not a popular state, and I live in TN, but seeing this makes me want to live there even more :D
Ahh love this!! Such a cute studio apartment! Your new couch & coffee table indeed to perfectly match you and this styles apartment! Good choice! But, my favorite thing is absolutely the wooden night stand you mom got for you! Love the sentimentality in it, and it's so gorgeous! I always wanted something like that too! Or like the one in front the doors. Anywhoo, one last thing lol i love that you collect thing from different countries! Hopefully in future you'll have a true treasure box to review for us! wood sticks, shells and all! :D
My first visit to your channel. I like your minimalist intentional style of living with meaning. One suggestion, give your living room plant a half turn so it’s growth will be balanced.
Hi! You made an excellent choice in selecting your apartment. It seems to have all the things you need. Your decor and personal items make it so cozy and stylish. A great tour. I sense you have a wonderful relationship with your mom and she adds her loving touches to your space. I like the desk as your work area. I wonder if you can pull it away from the wall a foot or so to turn it facing out and your chair by the wall so you're not facing it. It may not work or be your taste but since you're so visually creative it may be comfortable. Best wishes with your channel. Thank you for sharing your home.
Just got a tiny appartment myself. Its way smaller yet you gave me such awesome ideas. Cant wait to decorate mine, those fairy lights are definitely going up on the wall hehe.
You have a gorgeous aesthetic! Love love love your apartment, beautiful lady! Everything is so beautifully thought out and not overdone. Absolutely perfect! Very well done! Congrats!!!👏💖💖💖
cool she can afford that place. im too broke to have that right now, but minimalism IS however someone feels seems fit. Just because she isnt extreme doesnt make her version of minimalism bad or wrong. people keep thinking that the extreme represents any belief or lifestyle. People need to become more educated and need to stop hating. Honestly, I am glad for her that this space brings her peace and THATS what is IMPORTANT- duh.
love your cute cozy apartment!!! hmm you could totally fit those spare blankets in the bathroom storage if you reworked the products in your bathroom cabinet
It’s really a cute space. I am surprised this is called a studio since your bedroom is completely separated. The bathroom is huge with very good space, storage, and washer & dryer and I love how the kitchen is with a ton of space.👍 just watched again and see how your bedroom is located when you walk into your place but it’s really a interesting design.
This was a great video! I love your style 💕 I like watching these kind of videos because I like minimalist style but I want my house to feel like a home and not a hotel and this is probably the first video I’ve seen with that vibe Subscribed! ✌🏽
I was waiting for the dresser and make up area XD it so beautiful and inspiring. I'm moving out soon too and this gave me a lot of inspiration. Thanks :)
I love how you talk about your mom; you seem to have a great relationship with her.
haha thanks for the kind words! :)
well, that's because she basically fully furnished her house. Just kidding
Who cares if some will complain this isn't a "real" minimalist apartment? It's lovely, cozy and not over filled.

Appreciate your kind words, my friend! Thank you!
It a minimalist in my eyes compared to how much stuff I have..
People have fallen in love with ultra minimalist design and decor.
I have NEEEEVER seen such a beautiful minimalist apartment tour. It’s so well furnished and decorated with still not being cluttered. I don’t like when everything is just blank, that doesn’t seem homey to me but yours def does. Awesome job!!!
aw thank you SO much, really appreciate that! homey & cozy is the goal!
I really mean it! First thing I did is following you on insta too because I love your style. 😘
This whole video and your personality and apartment make me think your this mystical character who runs through the woods barefoot with flowers in her hair following the flow of the river with a bunch of deer and forest animals by her side.
this is THE best comment i have ever received. ever.
This is a beautiful comment wow 💓
One of the best studio floor plans I have ever seen. I love how the sections are separated. Love your earthy, organic style.
it is truly the best floorplan!
Honey if that is what a cluttered closet looks like then sign me up. Mine is a panic attack waiting to happen. 🤣 your home is beautiful. 😍🖤
hahaha cluttered to me is definitely "clean" to just about everyone else i've met!
Mood 😂
I feel that this is really less of a studio and more of an open concept one bedroom! Usually studios are one big square with the only closed off room being a bathroom. At least all the studios I've viewed in NY and California. Either way it's a beautiful space and I love your decor.
yea it's such a great studio feel with how it's broken up, i'm really blessed!

@@ultravioletpisces3666 your support is so appreciated
Right

thanks so much! i love that part too!
This seems like a big studio.
it is definitely a great size for a studio! 525 sqft!
Studios aren't always tiny. Once upon a time they were like huge old empty warehouse spaces.
@@ultravioletpisces3666 ...those are called "lofts"
@@maddscientist3170 sometimes
Such a cute apartment and you have such a relaxed personality!
Thank you so much!
Your apartment is so cute, cozy and dreamy! I love how you show such gratitude for everything you have!
aw such a sweet comment, thank you!
Jeez your mom is a superhero lmao
haha seriously!!!
Ive never seen a layout like this for a studio it looks SO NICE
I love the colours and style. Mum sounds like a legend too. You are a lovely positive person with so much love and gratitude throughout your video. Thanks for sharing. I’m also all natural and minimal.
this is the sweetest response! thank you so much!
Idk I would make the living room a bedroom and the bedroom a living room there’s more privacy also when she has people over they don’t have to go everywhere to get to their living room
Yeah. This is what I also first think
Yes!
Ayman Salimm but then she wouldn’t have any daylight in her living room.
a curtain would do the job as well..
love your style and sense of color. You have a lovely home, thanks for sharing and giving others some great ideas for organizing and decorating.
I love the aesthetics decor of your design. Natural textures, modern natural woods and neutral light color scheme with a touch of nature green.
You just described my aesthetic perfectly! That's how I like to think of it as well!
Ok literally, your mom sounds wonderful!
haha! yes!
fellow portlandian here🙋🏾♀️👋🏾
helloooooo friend!
Same 👋🏼
Loved the wood table.
Me too! I wish I still had it!
I was so ready to hate on this video bc of unnecessary decorations but I love it. Very cute and put together. Just enough decorations to make it homey
appreciate the love instead of the hate!!! there's far too much of it in the world already!
Your closet could fit a dresser or a chest for more storage
it totally could! thanks for the suggestion!
This is studio apartment .... wow is so beautiful !! I love your color choice n the furniture .... make the apartment look bigger!! You n your mom has amazing job to decorated your apartment !! GBU
thank you so much for the sweet words!
looks like the perfect airbnb!
Nice studio apartment! One of the best videos I’ve seen! The bed with the lights adds a nice touch!
thank you so much!!!
Wow, this is a beautiful apartment set-up and decor; the "kitchen hallway" is a unique layout that I'm really diggin. Love the browns and greens; earthy hues, to me, are ALWAYS legit when it comes to decorating a home space.
thank you very much! the kitchen hallway is definitely unique, i really love it!
You’re mom is so creative! She sounds so cute. #diyqueen
definitely a DIY master!
Your mom sounds amazing! You are so blessed to have her. I would love to see more on your channel about your personal style and hair. Love it all!
thanks so much! i definitely am excited to post more videos!
This apartment is beautiful. I'm the same way with clutter. I can't even have stuff on my counters for more than a couple minutes without it driving me crazy. Portland is such a cool city, I always wanted to live there even just for a few months. Love it!
hahaha yesss! no counter clutter please!
You are so cute and genuine! I love how you decorated your apartment. Definitely apartment goals! :D
really appreciate that, thank you so much!
Air plants do need care. They need to be soaked or misted with water.
haha i know! but not nearly as much as a regular plant that needs constant water & sunshine! so i love it!
When she said "literally no care" I was like "oh noo!" and went to the comment section to be sure this was addressed lol
I love it!!! I like smaller apartments. Less cleanup. This a a nice size studio.
smaller is definitely a win!!!
“This is my bed frame from ikea, it took 4 hours and I cried multiple times” had me laughing because… I’ve been there 😂😂
They're impossible hahaha.
Hi! I just wanna say i love love your videos. From the concept and how you shoot it. It's so relaxing! Can't wait for the next one ❤️
That is so sweet of you to say, thank you so much!
Cute minimalist home. Shows your awesome personality! I never realized I was a minimalist until I stumbled upon minimalist videos. I know i got minimalism from my mother. I love avocados too. Thank you for sharing!
so did i! mama's know best!
Love the aesthetic, I'm moving to my first apartment in less than a week and I'm definitely going to take some inspiration from your home!
aw yay! that is so exciting! have fun :)
The vintage rug is beautiful! I'll have to check out Swoon Rugs.
The gal who owns the company is super sweet!
Definitely not a studio apartment, but a small, and very nicely done 1 bedroom apartment. Love it~ Well done :)

That would be such a cool use of the space!
cute studio i see everyone use the bigger space for the living room but that would so be the bedroom for me
It was definitely tempting!
Love the space you have, well organized apartment I love that.. You're bubbling with delight about your place.happy for you .
Well thank you so much!
i am happy that saw someone who decorates their house in same colour sub and likeddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
earth tones for the win!
And I cried multiple times lol
i actually did...so frustrating hahaha
It is a lovely apartment, and it looks well planned and functional, and your design in it is almost a bit Scandinavian, very light and with natural materials and colors.
thank you for such a sweet comment! i definitely love Scandinavian style!
Can’t wait to just. Sit on my couch and watch a good movie with out people bothering me
Honestly me too. Have a grand time.
What a cute apartment I love that it’s separate spaces not just one big space styled perfectly too love ❤️ it thanks for the share!!!

well YAY! glad to have convinced ya! ;)
Very cute. I'd have a lightweight, white folding wicker screen for my bedroom tho.
That would have been cute!
I love your style!
Thank you so much! It's definitely changed a lot since then, but I love looking back and watching the progression!
lovelyyyyyyyyyyy! beautiful space
Thank you so much!

I too really like the minimalist design of the ladder.
it's such a neat little piece!
Your apartment is GOALS! I love your living room & that chair from your mom is everything!😊 New subbie here
wooo welcome!!!
The rooms are cool they both could be a bedroom (if you want to change things up sometimes)...love the vintage rug
they really could! thank you, it's one of my favorite pieces!
love your Bible!!
well thanks! me too! it is super old, had it for most of my life!
Your mom seems so cool! I love it! :D
she is definitely pretty cool & crafty!
If interested, you may also place the tray on your coffee table. It would likely be a nice contrast.
I really enjoyed watching it. 💚
i'm so glad, thank you!

ahhhh i'm so glad i could finally make it! thank you for the lovely compliments!
It's so beautiful! Great job decorating it looks amazing and so clean and organized

thank you so much for the sweet words!
Such a gorgeous setup!
thanks so much marshall!
So cute! Yassss girl ❤️ I had a studio in San Diego that felt huge like yours! I loved decorating it with multifunctional pieces, I love your space!
Hooray for large spaces!
It’s really a cute space. I am surprised this is called a studio since your bedroom is completely separated. The bathroom is huge with very good space, storage, and washer & dryer and I love how the kitchen is with a ton of space.👍 just watched again and see how your bedroom is located when you walk into your place but it’s really a interesting design.
it's a great set up for a studio without a bedroom wall!
@@aliviafields May I ask you how much that studio cost a month, comparing prices to New York?
This was a great video! I love your style 💕 I like watching these kind of videos because I like minimalist style but I want my house to feel like a home and not a hotel and this is probably the first video I’ve seen with that vibe
Subscribed! ✌🏽
wow thank you so much for the lovely compliment!
Your studio is so freaking nice! I wish my apartment building would renovate!
aw thanks! i hope they do too, for your decor purposes! :P
Moms are amazing 💖💖💖💖💖

Love your house and your sweater!
I stumbled on this video. Your apartment is like a breath of fresh air :) I absolutely love it.
aw, appreciate these kind words, thanks so much!
What a great apartment!!! How much is the rent? (If you don't mind me asking)
thanks a bunch!
Probably over a grand. Portland is so gentrified!
My brother has a studio apt down town and it’s like 800 bucks a month and it’s nothing like this so probably 1500 a month
Thanks
Well done .
Thank you so much!
Nice apartment!
Love it 💓

This is amazing. A studio dream 😊 😍
