I remember legit taping where I wanted my couch in my first apartment doing measurements being so OCD about bed size, dining table size and my couch and media tv stand. Is hard when you try to decorate a whole place by your self. Don’t be to hard on yourself Keegan mistakes happen
this makes me feel so much better that I’m not the only one going through this!! I bought the couch before I moved in and I wish that I would’ve waited a little bit so I could’ve taped it out
@@KeeganActon girl I totally get how you feel. decorating your apartment is a big task and your feelings are completely normal and valid!
What if you flipped the TV and couch? The wall that the TV is on is smaller, so it may not look as small...
Why not put the desk in your room?
I would get some side chairs to make it feel bigger
It IS small BUT you can make it work. Bigger desk maybe a built in i need a new couch im mortified this will happen to me. My heart goes out to you. How disappointing.
It’s too small. Send it back. Make them take it back
Hey Keegan! Just gotta listen to your intuition next time. You already knew the couch wasn’t gonna be right. Trust your own design sense when it comes to furniture pieces. You’ve been fine independently designing all your apartments before this.
I think the couch isn’t as bad as you think! I’m an interior decorator and here’s what I suggest - get a rug and a coffee table and two side chairs! That’ll make the living room feel more full. You don’t need every inch to be covered, white space is actually necessary for a design :) you could even play with nesting side tables and some oversized artwork! It just feels odd and small because it’s by itself
Get a matching chair or some accent chairs in a similar style!!! Also adding a rug and art can help tie it into the rest of the room. It might make you hate it less if you have to live with it!
Hey Keegan, I totally can relate to your frustration during the decorating process/ furnishing your home. My advice is to put the items your decorating into the place you imagined them to be then leave it for a couple days to see if you really like it or don’t like it . Sometimes after several days has pass and you walk pass the area enough times you’ll realize what you need to add or take away to make it the perfect space for you. Just take a break when you get frusturated because everything will come together and look beautiful at the end . The adventure is always in the journey my sweet friend ❤️
That is really good advice and I definitely agree that that is true because the more I look at the couch the less I hate it😂😂
Honestly I think the couch looks fine. Once you have wall art and more things in the space it will be really cute. Keep the desk for sure bc it makes the space more full. The bar stools will help too. Maybe add a nice plush chair to the living room and a rug so that way the couch doesn’t seem too small. Wall art and a rug for sure!
first glimpse of couch is @ 11:45 so you can skip all the bs
That's what you get for not measuring lol
You ate a bagel and adjusted a tree and now you are burned out?
Didn’t measure???
I can totally see what you’re saying about the couch! Maybe once you fill your space more, it might portion out right? I love the idea of wall art, a rug, and some type of coffee table. I feel like you need your desk with your business, so what about putting a ladder shelf on either side and the desk in the middle of it? Then the couch is on the other side of a ladder shelf. Or, maybe some type of cute chair that would go with your theme and a get some pillows with a pop of color?
I actually love that idea so much!!! thank you
To add to what everyone else is saying about the couch-you can make changes and add or take away so much stuff. Then when you do move this smaller couch will be easier to move plus if your next place has a smaller living area it will be perfect. In my years of apartment living I have definitely had too big of a couch for the space. So sometimes it’s better to have a small one and maybe a accent chair or two
So it’s a shit couch. Sell it.
My biggest advice to becoming an adult. Take advice from your parents or elders. but always remember that you are an adult and have to make decisions that best suit you.
You just need a chair, rug, coffee table, and side tables and it’ll look fine. The rug with anchor the space and make it look intentional and the chair will round out the space and provide more seating. Put the chair on an angle by the window. It’ll be great!
Could you order the larger couch and then sell this one on Facebook marketplace or something? I know you wouldn’t get your money back, but then you would have what you want.
Spare me
Keegan you can get decorative chairs to make up for the couch being so short and you can get large plants👍🏾 but good luck ❤️❤️
thank you!!! I definitely need to look into chairs I’m just afraid of getting ones that are too big or too small😂😂
@@KeeganActon take measurements this time 😉😂
Definitely too small but you can get other chairs etc to put around it
Why don’t you call them and tell them your so unhappy maybe they will give you a credit to put toward and new one I know you said it’s in a different fabric but if you get really upset on the phone maybe they will help you
Your feelings are 10000% valid in regards to the couch! I would be the same way and I probably would’ve reacted even worse. So never apologize for being dramatic. But thanks for showing your raw and true reactions! Makes me feel more normal! Sending good thoughts in regards to the to do lists! Cannot wait to buy one!
Yes the couch is small for the space but once you add a rug and the tv, I would think it would look much better! Also, adding a chair maybe in a fun color + the styling on the shelves will be perfect!
With me if someone doesn’t like something they made or something they did I just agree with them cause its their opinion so why should I change their opinion
Hi! I work with interior design and if returning/getting a different couch is not an option, I would suggest some type of round swivel chair like the Balboa from Pottery Barn (the smaller size) and it would make the room feel super cozy!
What if you got a comfy chair to fill that space 🤷♀️. I hope you find a solution. You're not being dramatic...furniture isn't cheap.
Just breath.
Moving and get things in your new home is stressful.
Yes your couch is a loveseat. It is cute but I understand the reason why you are unhappy with it. This happens to all of us at some point on one thing are another.
Keep your head up you got this.
@KeeganActon Seriously thank you so much for this review. I'm looking for a recliner that's going to be comfy like my old one. blue, with soft chenille. and oh my gosh, if you get a recliner, get a chenille recliner. so soft. corduroy soft. the pandemic gave me bad P.T.S.D. I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder, I lost loved ones to Covid19, an uncle of mine I was close to almost 2 and a half years ago, passed away. i'm looking for a safe space, a recliner to curl up in. If you want to know what my old recliner looked like, let me describe it to you. and my goodness, it was love at first sight in my chair. so my chair had beautiful soft chenille fabric, clean vertical lines going over the back of the chair, the cushion, and foot rest. and the horizontal lines were on the arms of the chair as well as the sides of it. so comfortable. i will post a recliner update on this channel i am commenting on. the channel i'm commenting to you from is a music based channel. but i will post a recliner review on that same channel. a chair for my back. i'm in my mid 30s and looking for something i can put next to my queen size bed, something i can call my cuddle space. next after my dad helps me get a la-z-boy recliner, a classic old school one, not a power one, but an old school one, next thing i will get after i get my chair is a weighted blanket and that's going to put me in paradise as i'm on cloud 9 in my new chair. will wait maybe until fall 2024 to get my recliner, possibly maybe before my 34th birthday on december 14 this year. wish me luck and please pray that la-z-boy will have a similar recliner in stock like my old 16 year old recliner. found one i love while I was looking at la-z-boy manual recliners online a few weeks ago. A classic recliner with a wooden handle. No power motorized recliner, none of that modern stuff. Just an old school recliner that’s padded, is so soft to the touch and a chair that I can sleep in if I just want to move from my bed to the chair since they’ll be sitting next to each other in my room. Taking the end table out of my room and replacing it with my chair. Also I am not getting a leather one cause leather sucks, and I don’t need a chair to sit in during the summer that’s made of leather and I’m sweating myself like crazy. Nice thing about chenille is that the beautiful soft clean lines keeps the chair warm too. Isn’t that so cool? Let me know if you ever sat in a recliner that’s so soft, chenille soft to the point where you refuse to not let anyone take over your spot except you. Lol. it's a gibson rocking manual la-z-boy recliner, the chair I came across a few weeks back. so soft. If you get a chair, get a la-z-boy. and don't worry i am not telling my mom i'm getting my chair cause she'll be jealous haha. my folks over here want ashley furniture, but for me, for my own man cave, my room, i'm getting a la-z-boy, a chair i can snuggle up in, a chair that can be placed next to my bed. will try to find a blue one, but if my local la-z-boy store doesn't have the blue recliner, the gibson model, i'm going to get their canyon denver brown color it's soft too like the blue one. chenille, heck yes, that's my material. reminds me of my grandpa's 29 year old chair and a half he got at montgomery ward back in the mid 90s. remember montgomery ward? and oh my god, that chair my grandpa had, it was a wall recliner, but my god, it smelled like a furniture store. comfy though. could fit 2 people in it. nice beautiful chenille fabric all over the chair. so so soft too. when my mom's youngest half sister whose the same age as me, when my aunt and i were kids 26 years ago, we'd stay at my grandpa's house, her dad's house that is, and my autn and i cuddle in his chair. so comfortable. i felt like i was in the clouds. and i don't blame you for not buying things from ashley. ashley is garbage. can't wait to get my la-z-boy gibson recliner. please, pray that la-z-boy has my blue chenille manual recliner. if you want the measurements, i'm getting a recliner like my old one, it's 44 inches wide, 43 inches tall, and 40 inches deep as the seat is concerned. my goodness, the pillowed arms, the biscuit style back, and that plush seat. keep me in your prayers that i find the right chair. finding my dream recliner like my old one my uncle threw out, is like me finding that beautiful blond a girl whose the same age as me. lol. and sitting in a la-z-boy, if you sat in one that has that chenille material, it's like you're being cuddled to sleep. being held. it's fantastic. it's a chair i will call my safe haven when it's put it in my room, set up next to my bed, a chair i can sit and play my guitars and film videos. wish me luck and god bless you.
def bigger. it looks like an accent chair. sorry, being honest here.
I think 3 seats were better than 2 seats. Looks too small.
Learning to live alone in apartment, cando, How to manage Times, cooking foods in healthy Ways.Happy , Healthy Lifestyle.We like to come after noon , shares Tea, 🍰, cream roles,sweet. Thanks
I know it’s a year old video and I know you said not to say that I like it but honestly.. you get a rug, coffee table, and side tables and it will fill out that space a lot. Also an ottoman would be great. I hope everything worked out for you.
Place the mirror between the couch and the desk until you decide what to do. It will create a division of space and make the size of the couch look more balanced.
It’s a great couch you have time to figure it out.
Hey girl, sometimes we need to just go with our gut. I'm sure your Mom had good intentions but I totally hear you on it being too small. I say just sell it and get whatever you can for it and then get a new one. If you eat a little bit of the cost so be it. You'll be happier in the long run. Just list it right away and order the standard size in the regular fabric:) I feel your pain with wanting things a certain way. It's your first real place. Get what you want! Love ya Xx Jen
You speak 18 minutes and show all your daily routine, I only want to see the couch, and how much damaged or serious is the problem. Waste of time
I think the couch will look so much better once the room is finished! Tv, coffee table, etc. I also think a rug would look great and help fill up the space!
A tape measure to measure the space before you choose a sofa would of helped😂
Then you should of stuck with what you wanted lol. Probably should of measured 😂
Sell it online for what you paid and then use the money to buy the bigger one!
I thought it was a love seat since there's only two seat cushions. As some suggested, get arm chairs.
If you put a bigger chair in the space it will all mesh together and look good
Thank you for making me feel validated about instant furniture regret. I had the same feeling about a brand new expensive couch I just bought!! Waited just long enough to not be able to return it to finalize that I hate the color. I even ordered their swatches prior and thought it was okay. Now I am faced with a similar situation as you. I can try to sell it for way less than I bought it for an then have to rebuy a new expensive one I want. Or live with the one I hate.
Everyone telling me it looks fine just makes me hate the couch and the fact I didn’t buy the other one even more.
Your feelings are valid. Don’t apologize. Could you get an accent chair that looks similar to the couch ?
A lot of people probably would pay near what you paid for it just for the fact they could collect it the same day rather than having to wait for it to be made! I’d definitely put it up for sale for what you paid and just say ‘or near offer’ and just see what happens, you don’t have to sell it this way but it may give you the option!
The only thing that prevents me from wanting to that is having to wait for another couch😭😭 I really messed up and should’ve gotten the bigger one
@@KeeganActon I get u 😢😢 depends on your long term happiness with it too though!❤️
I would get the matching chair to fill the space :)
Perhaps get the bigger one than move this one over to the side to be the love seat to it l shape like
I know is more money but can you try getting the one you want and So like an L shape ? That’s what my family does we get both the large and the smaller size.
You could get a second couch or a nice chair and a half to fill the space.
Oh for crying out loud! Why do they need the old ones back? Ridiculous. They’re just going to throw them out. I’m sorry you got so stressed. That’s never a fun feeling.
Pitcher of beer for $5 is a deal? Over this way it’s $1-2. Now THATS a deal.
ME TOO! I regret the color. My size is good.
At least you learened an imprtant lesson today to listin to your gut, istead of having people talking you itno things.
you're not the only one. it happens to me too. getting big stuff and then being like. fuck i hate it lol. it will be ok
We all have are days and moments when we just need to let it all out and that is ok! Also I just got my gradient To Do list just came in the mail and obsessed is an under statement! Also love the video! p.s i would totally buy and wear that sweatshirt that you were wearing in the video!
It looks fine. Just add side tables.
Add you a big comfy rug, accent chair, end table and maybe a coffee table....throw some pics on the wall and it will look AMAZING.
do you have any suggestions on where to buy rugs? I’ve been looking but I haven’t found one that I love yet
@@KeeganActon on a budget: home goods TJMaxx or (some) Amazon rugs can be cute and more affordable but if you have the budget Anthropologie has amazing rugs!!
that short little swivel armchair from Target? Fill the gap, it's destined to.
maybe try and sell it on fb marketplace and get a bigger one!!! i settled for a smaller couch that looked awkward for sooo long and i finally got my dream couch/sectional from west elm and am so fucking happy i did. it’s going to bother you everyday :(
What if you put the couch on the other wall where you were going to put the TV ?
That couch looks super low to the ground.
The settings on the toaster is cook time. 1 = 1minute
I just wanted to see the couch review not all the rest.
you could add a small chair or couch next to it and on an angle
I feel like a couch with a rug the tv and a coffee table will look fine. And with the bar stools you will move the table more towards the couch it will fill the space even more.
I agree with that 100% I think I just need to play around with how I arrange everything
Order the middle insert piece so it’s a three seater.
you should measure before buying.
Maybe you could try putting the sofa on the opposite wall (the shorter wall) and see how it looks. Sometimes it helps to move things around. I would still call just to see what they say about some kind of return/exchange. It doesn’t hurt to try. Good luck with everything. Btw try toasting your bagel in the air fryer
Definitely too small for the space
Sweetheart that is a love seat. You can always sell it for what you paid for
Sell that one and get a bigger one
youre so cute when youre almost crying
You’re right that the sofa looks a little small, but I think you can make it work with a rug!
I feel like a rug will definitely help separate the space between the living room and the dining room!!!
Is this the Pottery Barn Union Sofa?
i goo here becouse i watch video in nocapkoby
Sell the couch on Facebook marketplace, get money out of it and then buy a new one!
I do think it's too small. I know it's more money, but could you purchase the larger sized one, too and put them in an L shape kind of like a sectional?
Can you put it in your bedroom
I don’t think you would fit :/ but honestly it’s worth a shot to try to see how it would look
@@KeeganActon or on the smaller wall. Across from where you have it now. There’s always a way. Let’s figure it out
Keegan will you ever get a tv for your living room?
Girl you have every right to feel that way about the couch. I’m so sorry that you spent so much money on it and it didn’t end up being what you wanted. I love all your videos and how you always keep it real for us. I wish I had the money to get all your to do lists. I love to do lists, but don’t have the money to get any. I love writing things down and keeping everything organized. Keep doing you girl. I’m finishing my last 2 semesters at my community college, then transferring to Ferris to finish getting my bachelors, then have to find another college to go to get my masters.
Keegan sell the couch and get the one you want. Your mental peace is worth so much more than any loss you might have from doing that, or you can go back to the seller and try to make a deal. It doesn't hurt to ask!
Hey Keagan no worries if you don’t like the couch just sell it and try to buy a new one
You could get a floating desk if you really want a desk? The ones that you drill into the wall and then you can close the hatch up?
What if you flipped it the other way. Like couch on the wall by your bedroom and tv on the other wall. I feel like since the wall is smaller on the bedroom side it might feel bigger... Idk just a thought!
omg wait i think like that idea
an egg chair would look cute in the corner by the window! you could angle it to cut the room a little and then maybe you'll like the couch better?
You can ship it back in any box’s as long as you call them let them know what’s going on with the toaster and you need a return label they should give it to you
it’s outside the return window i waited too long😭😭😭
Oh okay
Dude get a middle piece
wtf is this video 11 minutes before you even review the couch. Also it IS a love seat wtf
this was a vlog where i got a couch delivered, not a couch review :)
That looks ridiculous!
I love how you didn’t edit it out and was so real so so relatable! I hope everything turns out fine for you soon girl 💘
Get to the rant 18 minutes is too long
Get a larger size too.
Your feeling about the couch are 100% valid - you spent your hard earned money on it, don’t let anyone feel like your feelings are invalid!
I really appreciate you saying that because everyone was telling me that I was crazy for thinking it’s too small😂🫶🏼
@@KeeganActon you’re not crazy! You’re the only one that has to live with it, if you think it’s too small then it’s too small
sell it on Facebook marketplace
Please give it to me
It looks fine!
it felt like you were yelling at me 🥺
