I’d suggest going to the IKEA second hand section/returned goods section - find a couch you like (might take a few trips until you find the right one as inventory is constantly changed) & if the couch has any minor scratches or is a little dirty then you can ask the manager of that section for an additional discount. That’s how I got two IKEA couches for half price! The cleaning won’t cost more than 30-50 GBP and your couch will be as good as new.
I’ve seen pictures of fireplaces where they put a few very large, battery powered candles on different levels inside. They look so warm and lovely when lit in the evening.
I just moved to London and have started flat hunting and it’s crazy expensive! You got so lucky with this beautiful space. All the 1 beds I’m looking at in zone 1 and 2 in north London are around 1500 starting!
Dishwashers will only be found in new luxury buildings. The are still a relatively new thing. It is only in the last 20 +/- yrs that houses have dishwashers. I lived in London from '97-2000, in Hammersmith. London is a fab city.
The London renting market is soo annoying, your place is gorgeous and pretty big and close to central. I am moving to N1 soon in literally a box and look what £275 extra a month can get you!
This looks gorgeous now it's empty. It'll look great when you've done your magic. London prices always seem insane to me though as I'm from the north of England where something like this would be less than half that price. 😂
Really curious as to why you moved from Canary? I’m looking at moving there and it seemed like a really good mix of safety, modern flats and close to central. Thanks for the tour!
Hello Monica, I live in the United States, not in London so I would like to get an idea about pricing. If you were to buy that apartment how much would is be the asking price?
I am loving your videos & vibe so much!! If you are still looking for second hand furniture recommendations I furnished my place with so many bits from Facebook marketplace x

Ouu such a good tip! Didn't know they did additional discounts haha

Your walls will be mostly made of plaster & nails will not work you will need a drill to hang anything. 3M Command sticky strips work great.

You can remove the living room door and the you can put the sofa next to the kitchen.
looks lovely! keen to see what you do with it. you could always use a tension rod for hanging the wardrobe curtain 😊 x
Ouuu Great idea!!
This new flat is nice. You can save money, the couch is nice and it seems in good conditions,

Yaa but you're basically in zone 1! It's wild the difference in price

Thank you!! 😊

It feels insane to me too 😂
That was 100% a mini fridge. I have a bigger mini fridge than that. Only major downside seems to be the fridge.
Houses were never made with built in closets. His & her wardrobes were always part of a bedroom set when bought
Also, if you're near Queen's Park, the Queen's Park Farmer's Market has a Dosa stand that is amazing. Also, you might run into Pippa Miiddleton
Ou I'm a bit away from there but definitely will check out the market 😍
Looks amazing
Gorgeous, we love a north london girlie.
Also try SNUG for a sofa maybe?
Ouu thanks, I'll give them a try!

I talked about it in detail at the beginning of this vlog: th-cam.com/video/yOWkQ0Do_eQ/w-d-xo.html
but it's mainly because of the area!
@@MonicaXGuan thank you!! Really useful info!!
The fireplace is probably real but has been sealed as there’s a lot of restrictions around them due to air pollution etc
Congratulations on your new flat! 😍💯🎈
Thank you!! 😊

Good choice!
You can ask your landlord if you cant paint your bed a lighter colour.
How do you move to London from America?
Hey, would you mind saying which estate agent you used? I’m planning on moving out as soon as I graduate and, honestly, I don’t know where to start 😭
This one I found with keatons!
Nice flat!

Could u share which moving company u used to move all your stuff? (That is if u did use one) thanks! :)
I packed everything myself and found a moving company from www.comparethemanandvan.co.uk/ to just move it from my old place to the new one. :)
This is very nice video
No need for a second hand couch there's always sales this time of year boxing day new year sales too for good price.
Are you living by yourself or the bf
On my own :)
