Jean is a gem!
Your place is looking great. Have you thought about using the free wooden planter box on the balcony as a seat for your outdoor dining setting - use a plank of wood to cover the top of the planter box, use the box for storage instead of soil and plants, put outdoor weatherproof cushions on top for comfort. You could decorate the trellis with string lights and still grow vines along it from a pot on the ground. You could have lavender in pots on the ground beside it as well which would smell lovely while you are relaxing over meals. That way you just have to get a table and you don’t have the big job of removing the planter box. For guests, get some fold up chairs so you aren’t taking up precious space on the balcony or in the house. Good luck, you’re doing a fantastic job.
But don't they have to get rid of the planter box to have room for a table?
You and Jean are so cute! Well , since you asked, I would not paint the wardrobe. It looks so nice white . Almost like it’s built in. The brass handles coordinate with your lamp. How about a pretty brass bowl on coffee table to match, sitting on a cool white coffee table book, and a candle in a pretty glass jar.
Kitchen is so sweet. Love your new fridge.
I love to decorate and I love Paris! I should probably pop over from US and help you😉
You look so pretty...you are glowing!
Ariel, so enjoy watching you and Jean making memories of your moving experience. The rainfall was kind of funny and what a mess it made, but I can only imagine your frustration with the unexpected downpour that hit while you and Jean were busy transporting furniture pieces, etc. So enjoying the process of transforming your living space into what will be a lovely comfortable home for you both! Best of luck as you continue to work on settling in and I look forward to each and every video of your life in Paris!! I love it!🤗
A tip to keep your soil enriched you can mix your ground coffee after you have used it dry it in a container then mix it with your soil. To maximise your calex maybe get some more baskets to add the next row for your underwear and socks. Try and see if you have bulky shoes and winter shoes you would be able to store them in there. This will free up space to add more of your current season clothes. I was wondering if you could turn your couch length way and would there be enough space to walk. You can use your couch to help separate your apartment to into sections the back of the couch could create a passage to your room. You would then be able to mount your tv on the wall. You would be able to put your coffee table in front of your couch. Think of doing a feature wall in your bedroom behind the bed to add colour. The long thin cupboard that you have your books in move that next to your desk on the right hand side next to the heater. For privacy white sheer curtains would cover the windows. This will still give the apartment the natural light. Maybe go and look at the Canadian TH-camr called Alexandra Gator. She renovated small apartments you could get some ideas. Good luck with making your apartment your own.
I love that idea of white sheet curtains. I bought mine at Target and love them over the blinds that were already here. It just makes it look so airy and light!
I loved the idea of moving the couch to face the wall, if the space is enough. I also would think of getting red of the dining table and bring a couple of stalls and use the kitchen peninsula for dining.
What a great apartment! You were lucky to find it - it has everything to make it a perfect place to live. I was wondering p, because your balcony isn’t very deep, would it be possible to hang the red planters on the outside of the rail to give you more balcony space?
I love to see your documentation of the true chaos of moving 😆 between the weeks of hard work, the messes, building furniture, surprise rainstorms.. I know exactly what you’re going through! It’ll all be worth it and then you’ll finally have some time to relax!
Small spaces are definitely challenging but you seem to have a good handle on your space can’t wait for the final look
The white and red flower plants grow upward like vines. I love these and they can get quite tall!
And you can bring them in during the winter to survive the cold.
I love your youthful exuberance and the way you tell the story throughout the video. The apartment is coming along nicely!
The red and white plant you bought I know it by the name Mandevilla. Those plants love direct sunlight and always have beautiful flowers.
Your apartment is so cute: modern, light and airy…with a balcony too! Love the plants and flowers. 🌸💐🌼🌹🪻
You both make a really cute couple. So far I like all you are doing with the apartment.
Your apartment looks so good. It is definitely chaos for awhile when you move. The red and white flowers look like mandevilla vine. You will be very happy with them! They will have glorious trailing vines and flowers and you don't really have to do anything except water them. They will be beautiful on your balcony. The dahlia you will have to cut off dead blooms so that you get more flowers. The wardrobe is gorgeous!
Nice work!
You two are so cute together. Jean has the cutest smile.
Lucky girl.. He is a keeper.🎉
Love your new apartment! I can’t wait to see it when you are finished decorating. Jean is a keeper! He works so hard.
The apartment looks great. Love the balcony and closet!
Looking good!😊
Your boyfriend is such a nice guy. He is the 100% husband material. Don’t let him go. You both are so pretty together. I am glad to see him in your vlogs. These are couple goals, and someday I wish to do them with my boyfriend too. We don’t live together now so it’s not possible for us to build a home, but this is all I want soon ❤❤
So fun to watch you pull everything together! The red and white flowers are Dipladenia. YES! They love the hot sun! Read up on the watering requirements. Enjoy your beautiful garden and new apartment!
Deadhead that dahlia! It’ll stop blooming if you don’t. Lots of YT videos on how to do it! Your place is looking stellar!
Why is moving always so drama filled! It's always something lol Bless you both for sticking with it and working together
It’s just beautiful!
The wardrobe fits so perfectly! Do you have storage under the bed as well?
I think it would look best to leave the cabinet white. If you paint it green or whatever, consider painting the entire wall that same color.
thank you for the input ! I appreciate it !
Love the apartment. Just came back from a very short time in Paris over Bastille day so I didn't get to see much. Definitely a trip back
I found a tip to use coffee filters in the bottom of your pots.
My sister taught me this trick with coffee fliters
Very encouraging! Love what you've done so far.
So happy for you!
Sweet apartment! What about painting the wall behind bed? An accent wall would be nice…enjoy your new place! Congrats…
Looking really good. That is really a lot of hard work. Bravo………🤗🇨🇦
The red and white plants are Dipladenias.
My advice to you is to use all vertical space such as above your kitchen cabinets / always go up and you will see you will have more room. Also, your green couch can you place it in front of the balcony but towards the tv more. Then place your dinning room small table behind. You can look outside when you eat. Just use two chairs then you can have the pink chairs one to the right - one to the left of couch facing each other / with the coffee table in front of the couch. So this breaks up the space and you can look directly at the TV plus the pink chairs just give more seating options. This will give you more floor space too and you can still go out on your balcony. Also with your pallet you can make it a hanging seat and put a beautiful cushion on it. So fun love your happy vibes ❤❤❤❤
You two are doing a great job! Better than me! I’ve been living in my place for three years and I’m still not done!
Looking beautiful. You are both doing a great job.
It was So fun watching you guys making a home together ( nesting) is what I call it. Congrats! Can't wait to see your cozy corner out there... seating maybe??
That was fun!
How exciting!
Loved everything about this video!
Very happy for you both, your excitement is infectious 😊❤️
You have made soooo much progress! It looks great!!! Lots of work!!!
It looks very cozy!
Looks great!!!
I think your doing so good figuring out everything. Its fun to watch someone start from scratch & see how you make it work. You seem to have some space for items at the top shelf in your kitchen where the wine bottles are by putting items inside a basket or canvas tote easy to put up & down. Excited for the next vlog!
The apartment is coming along beautifully
You don't need a task rabbit..Jean is the best..wishing you all the best moving forward..
I loved this! 🥰 also, very much a side note, but please share your skincare routine with us!! You always look so glowy and beautiful!
Looks great😀
you do not need to sand the doors before paiinting. There is primer that you can pain first or also paint that works direkt on a surface. Just clean it first. That is the most important. I have a south facing balcony. Big containers is my tip you you will have to water them constatly
Oh good grief, i'm already tired! 😂 can't wait to see when everything is put together!
plants and flowers are a priority in Paris!
Ah yes... IKEA furniture... the fastest way to test a relationship haha! The apartment looks great so far! Excited to watch it come together. Are you able to paint or put up any wallpaper? An accent wall somewhere could be super fun!
Love the apartment and its really coming together! Where will Jean's clothes go?? Girl, you took up the whole new wardrobe!! Lol 😂
Good luck and congratulations 🎉
thank you !! :)
i am not sure i saw you guys do this, did you punch holes in the bottom of your pots first? that is a necessary thing if you did not.
❤
I love your floor lamp. Link?
I haven't watched the video on the ikea delivery but I had issues with them too 😅 (Belgium) They refused to bring our things upstairs and insisted the best they could to was to leave it all outside. We had paid for the upstairs delivery and had a huge service elevator. It would be impossible for us to get things in by ourselves and I don't even know if it would all fit on the sidewalk!(Plus they came at the wrong date...). They said they would agree to bring our things...if we paid extra. I was livid! We'd either have nowhere to even sleep on, or risk having our stuff stolen from the streets. I had to threaten to call the police and press charges for theft before they finally agreed to bring things up to our apartment, it was honestly ridiculous.
LOVE it! Question.... Aren't wine bottles/champagne to be stored horizontal? How about a small wine rack on the shelf above the refrigerator?
Didn't it have a cabinet with spices up there?
You probably said this already, but, what arrondisement were you at and which one did you move to? Was it a big trip to move all of this? I think that you guys are pros at organization! I think that you said that you have an escalator there? Debby in Kansas
Vos deux pots de fleurs rouge et blanche sont des dipladenias
…we also call them pallets in English.
You put crocs in the bottom of a pot, so soil doesn't block drainage holes.
The clay balls in English are called Leca.
Good luck with your plants. My friend who lives in Parts has a balcony like yours where she has some nice plants.
IKEA furniture isn’t built to last. Don’t put too much weight in your wardrobe.
Very nice place you have ❤️..does your apartment have an elevator?
that mint is gonna take over everything! be careful!
Nice apartment. Which arrondissement is this?
Why are you saying palette with a French accent 😂😂😂
Girl I have lived almost my entire adult life in France….. i never had the opportunity to use this word in English so I didn’t know it was the same thing 😂 I’ve seen this comment like 4 times please y’all cut me some slack 😂😂😂😂
I'm American and English is my first language, but I learned the name for Bass Cello in Spanish - my second language. My friends thought I was crazy when I said violonchelo bajo. But I genuinely didn't know how to say it in English. It happens.
Your apartment and Paris are both a hot mess right now.
