The swivel lamp is genius. I love Ikea lamps. My apt is more traditional or transitional style. In the corner of my living room, I have a large white bulb shaped Ikea lamp that looks like flower petals. It's fun and whimsical- just the right touch.
Very impressed with how beautifully she designed her space. The layout of her furniture in the big main room is perfection. I feel the same way about her decision to turn the “eat-in” portion of her kitchen into an office! Very smart choice! The hanging of her mother’s art is very special and a lovely addition to the space. I really want those dining room chairs she found! They are soo unique! Overall, I love her home! Bravo!
That kitchen counter that converts to a standing desk is great, my favorite. I also love the variety of chairs and the different art/tapestries, brings the apartments to life.
I would LOVE to have this apartment built as a small home on a foundation. It's perfect! What makes it so special are all of the original built ins that give the space so much character. You just do not see that in current built homes. They are all so sterile every room is just four blank walls-just absolutely hideous. I'll try not to mention gray paint everywhere, gray LPV (LOL) floors and dark gray painted kitchen cabinets. Aka-ugly! This is the warmest, well-designed and perfectly laid out for the way we live today. Loved the video tour-the apartment is filled with her loves and it shows! Great job!
I absolutely love what Gretchen has done with her apartment. It does not look like it is only 615 sq. ft. because she has made use of practically every inch of it! She has stored everything she owns very neatly and that also gives an illusion of bigger rooms and closets. She was very creative in her designs. As an example, she divided her kitchen into two spaces, kitchen and office. Everything is so organized. Kudos to you, Gretchen. I can understand why you enjoy being in your apartment; it has been a labor of love to create!
Wow, I feel like I am watching myself at a much younger age😉 To me, it seems that we share the same taste. I also love to creativly problem solve my decorating needs. I also collect odd chairs and lighting, I also decorate with branches and rocks. I decorate my walls with family art, vintage photos and collectables. Much of my home is hand me downs, thrifted or free. Thanks for sharing your lovely home and gentle, qircky and unique spirit and keep up the good work of surrounding yourself in beauty and comfort.
In all the home tours, I definitely resonate with your space the most! From all the personal items and trinkets to the diy but very design influenced corners! You have such a good eye with color theory as well!!!! Well done!!!
Love love the unique vintage furniture pieces!! 😍 You’ve also done a great job fashioning storage pieces to make use of every space. Beautifully done!!
I've always wanted to use a paper umbrella to hide my ugly overhead lighting but I havent totally figured out or got around to it, so its cool that she has done it!
My favorite apartment ever. Love her clever space solutions in the kitchen and bathroom and the way she surrounds herself with what she loves looking at rather than whatever is on-trend.
This was one of THE most inspiring house tours I've ever seen!! 😍 She has such great sense of unique style, has made some genius decisions and really made the most of the space! I love her items, her overall style and also her outlook on decorating your home. ❤ Had to rewatch immediately after seeing it the first time, there was so much good in there. Well done! The only thing I wonder is if it would be possible to have the dining table on the same side of the apartment as the kitchen, but with the cabinet doors it seems tricky. And I'm sure she's considered that, as it would seem more intuitive. Also to have the bedroom and sofa on the same side. But it's a small apartment anyway, so nothing is far away. I hope she has the best and happiest times here.❤
Love, love, love your home. It feels so cozy, calm, comfy. I like your eclectic, vintage style. Much the way I decorated my apartment two years ago when I moved into this apartment. I'm still tweaking things. What fun❣❣
I-absolutely-love your-space! I have some of the same things going on in mine - curtained doorways, gallery wall behind TV, rolling cart in bathroom. Your collaboration with your dad for the counter-height table is awesome. And your doorway hanging chair is fab. I’m sure I’ll watch your video again, because it’s kinda like being at home. Thanks for the tour and inspiration. 😊
Oh, well done. Very warm and welcoming, also a very comfortable and personal space. The use of fabric and the lighting choices are great additions for renters! Enjoy.
I don’t know what she used, but I use liquid starch. Soak the fabric in liquid starch until saturated, place on the wall and smooth out the fabric, let dry. I add a small fold to the edges to eliminate ragged edges. I think you can find a you tube tutorial if you need more information. When you are ready to take it off, spritz with water and peel off and clean the wall. Very renter-friendly. Good luck!
I love all those diy moments! The lazy susan lamp and that mirror with hinges are some of my favorites! Great job on making your pace super cozy and beautiful!
Love the fabric detail on the wall in the kitchen. The dining room chairs are so cool. And the lazy Susan under the lamp?! So clever!! Love this apartment, great job!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Olive green, NOT baby-puke green, LOL. Definitely a favorite tour, so much to love! Thanks for sharing your wonderful design. You had a wonderful base to start with, but you certainly did it justice and enhanced it beautifully. I want to copy your kitchen island storage cabinet with lift up countertop, using fabric as wallpaper and the ikea lamp with added lazy susan. Your chairs are fabulous. I remember seeing the wooden moon piece, I believe my mother had one.
The more I watch small space designs, the more I want to downsize. I live in a double wide mobile home. I’m happy here but it’s a lot for 1 person. I lived across the river in Vancouver most of my life. Your space says Portland. The character is wonderful. The chairs in your dining space are awesome!
This is one of your best videos. I got to see all parts of the space and the house layouts were extremely useful. I was amazed at the closet organization. She could do a video of that alone.
The more videos I see, the more I realize that the energy that oozes from a space is what makes it so special. Sometimes I see homes and I really don‘t like the furniture or the items in it and STILL I love it, and other times the opposite happens. The one thing that is always present though is maximalism. I do not see myself enjoying coffee and a book in a crisp, empty white room. Give me things everywhere, blankets, cushions, frames…🧡 love your apartment!
Your space feels good to me too! I love that everything is beautiful, has a story, and feels totally lived in. It's radiating homey energy in the best way.
There are so many great things about this apartment. Your DIY hacks are awesome. I love what you did with the hallway, your mother’s art, that corner chair… Really nice job!
the cutest little apartment wish I knew where these were I’m apartment hunting and only luxury ones keep popping up but I need a family friendly area with good schools close by 😩
Lots of great design and storage ideas. Your space looks both comfy and interesting. I am curious as to why the living room is next to the kitchen and the dining area is next to the bedroom. IMO, it would make sense to swap them. The one thing that really bothers me about this space is seeing the toilet when you enter the home. Keep the bathroom door closed or hang a curtain in the hallway archway.
I love your home. You’ve really used your space so efficiently. I too enjoy eclectic and lots of color to go with my plants. I have to tell you tho w/o giving away my age, your moon is called “stairway to the stars”. I would be willing to beat there is star somewhere on the moon or it was a separate piece to go with the moon, to be hung close by. 😊 When I was a kid my Granddad made several of these moons (his were quite different) for his children. A few of the grands were lucky to inherit one. So anyway, a little history lesson for you. 😊 Many Blessings!!
Beautiful!!! I feel as you do abt my Home n my design for it!!! Full of comfort n love n pieces that make you smile when you're in those spaces!!! Love it!!! 😊😊😊
This is so much more interesting than the homes of many pretentious rich people.
Genius what you did with the swiveling lamp! Also the kitchen office. Such a great use of the space you have.
It's the Cutest Little Apt Space ❤ Love it ❤
The swivel lamp is genius. I love Ikea lamps. My apt is more traditional or transitional style. In the corner of my living room, I have a large white bulb shaped Ikea lamp that looks like flower petals. It's fun and whimsical- just the right touch.

Love this somewhat budget friendly artistic space, its not pretentious.
That’s a cool eclectic space. Everything goes together and doesn’t look cluttered.
Gretchen has decorated with many clever ideas. Her home decor is very personal and unique.

from one thrifter to another...I'm in love with your home...I would never leave !!!

Love Gretchen's creative mindset and vision. Some awesome moments when you look around the space that have absolutely inspired me.
That chair collection is fabulous! And, the lazy susan lamp is brilliant. This is a really great space.
What a creative use of space! The kitchen office? Genius
Love her mother's artwork 🎨❤
My favorite apartment ever. Love her clever space solutions in the kitchen and bathroom and the way she surrounds herself with what she loves looking at rather than whatever is on-trend.
Esp. love the lazy susan lamp & the hinged mirror--so creative!!
The mirror on hinges for storage behind it is genius! Everything you've done is a good use of space!
What a beautiful place. So comfy and well thought out. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
That blue chair loooks amazing!!!

Wonderful place filled with imagination and practicality. Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Every single piece and style.
Love the office set up in the kitchen! Such a great way to carve out a defined corner
Very cozy. Blue chair is so cute.
The lazy Susan lamp base is brilliant! Like what you’ve done with the place.
So impressed with her use of space!
Beautiful, cozy, welcoming and extremely functional. I ❤️ it!
Love the vintage kitchen, the big blue chair & how she hung the mirror! 💗🌸💗🌸
Love the hell out of your space, very creative and homey!
I like the layout of this apartment.
Love, love, love your home. It feels so cozy, calm, comfy. I like your eclectic, vintage style. Much the way I decorated my apartment two years ago when I moved into this apartment. I'm still tweaking things. What fun❣❣
the wall nooks and little old details of this apartment are absolute goals. DREAMY.
What a charming space
Love your style!
I-absolutely-love your-space! I have some of the same things going on in mine - curtained doorways, gallery wall behind TV, rolling cart in bathroom. Your collaboration with your dad for the counter-height table is awesome. And your doorway hanging chair is fab. I’m sure I’ll watch your video again, because it’s kinda like being at home.

Love it, so cozy and warm! Everything just blends so well! ❤️👍
What a cool space. 👏👏👏
Mirror on hinges super cool idea!
Your place is just plain gorgeous. I love all your clever space creating and saving ideas.
Wow this is fabulous - well done! All of the beautiful pieces you’ve thrifted are so inspiring and gorgeous!!
one word "cozy" ❤
Oh, well done. Very warm and welcoming, also a very comfortable and personal space. The use of fabric and the lighting choices are great additions for renters! Enjoy.
I love the more eclectic spaces more than the modern ones. Vintage pieces and handmade pieces are awesome as well ❤
The DIY ideas are off the charts! Such tailor-made solutions that make this space work for this brilliant woman! ❤
I love the house! I would also like to know how she puts the fabrics on the wall as well! Inspiring!
I don’t know what she used, but I use liquid starch. Soak the fabric in liquid starch until saturated, place on the wall and smooth out the fabric, let dry. I add a small fold to the edges to eliminate ragged edges. I think you can find a you tube tutorial if you need more information. When you are ready to take it off, spritz with water and peel off and clean the wall. Very renter-friendly. Good luck!
@@backintheday3169 many thanks for your detailed reply! I will try!
I love the way it all came together
I love all those diy moments! The lazy susan lamp and that mirror with hinges are some of my favorites! Great job on making your pace super cozy and beautiful!
I like stuff too. The more the better as it gives your a home a homey feel to it with warmth and charm. Good job.
Love the fabric detail on the wall in the kitchen. The dining room chairs are so cool. And the lazy Susan under the lamp?! So clever!! Love this apartment, great job!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not my style I am already needing space just looking, but this is awesome for her and very intricate with all her personality installed.
Great job
Loved it so much
🌻💟💥😀😍
Love it, so homey.

Love all those antique chairs, that 20$ chair is my favourite 😍😍😍

I’m a chair and lamp collector too! Love your style and pieces 🎉
Such a cozy, full of personality home!!!
Fantastic-love everything!
This place is the work of genius! I am totally amazed about how Gretchen designed the kitchen! Love it!

Bravo one of my favorite places I’ve seen

I can tell your apartment has a soul, and I love it.
Loved your home !!!❤
So cozy ❤
Such a smart and charming use of space! I'm inspired 😊
Love your cozy house. Great decoration and organization. Enjoy!
Your space feels good to me too! I love that everything is beautiful, has a story, and feels totally lived in. It's radiating homey energy in the best way.
Simply amazing and very warm and inviting.
I really respect you organized such many details
I love that she made the space work for her. it's very cute and unique too.
Very well designed. You did a great job, lots of creativity! You really made it unique and your very own.
l
I'm so in love with all the vintage chairs in there and the dining table. And to think that you got them so cheap and some were even free. 😯
There are so many great things about this apartment. Your DIY hacks are awesome. I love what you did with the hallway, your mother’s art, that corner chair… Really nice job!
That Blue chair is the best ❤ ever !

the cutest little apartment wish I knew where these were I’m apartment hunting and only luxury ones keep popping up but I need a family friendly area with good schools close by 😩
Wow!!!!!
I totally lived in these apartments in 2015. Love what you did with the space.
Wow, what a beautiful home. ❤😊
What a genius idea to incorporate the iron board into a wardrobe!
Don't know if this woman is an interior designer, but wow, does she have talent.
You did a great job is an understatement. You are a genius I love it
Lots of great design and storage ideas. Your space looks both comfy and interesting. I am curious as to why the living room is next to the kitchen and the dining area is next to the bedroom.

So pretty and cozy!
It is a lovely apartment. Stunning pieces, nothing overly expensive but it is nice. I could live in it! Thank you for the video!
Beautiful! ❤
Very unique and original!
An amazing home ... I'm in love with
