Love the kitchen

@beakay8700 2 ай бұрын

I love this studio. It’s modern but it’s not sterile. It’s very tastefully done. For the lack of natural light, you could use mirrors near the window to reflect the light and bounce it back in. Mirrors can also feel like having more windows. You can put one on the wall directly in front of the window and another on the adjacent wall. I’m thinking those really huge mirrors that lean against a wall but it’s your space, do anything you want and enjoy the process! The in-unit washer and dryer is a major plus also for safety purposes. If you had shared ones in your building, you’d have to be careful about who might be lurking in that space. People have really lost their minds these days. The big sister in me is really glad you have the security of your own space to do your laundry. Looking forward to decorating!!!

Hi Lucia, new subscriber. I live in NYC so the algorithm recommended your channel. I use to be a Barista at Starbucks and what you’re experiencing is called caffeine withdrawal, it’s actually quite scary depending how addicted your body is to caffeine. I saw a former coworker try to quit caffeine cold turkey and she developed uncontrollable shaking in her hands from the withdrawal after a week of no caffeine, so just make sure to stay very very hydrated with healthy electrolytes with the caffeine especially in the summer. Also tips for storage is utilize the entire wall from ceiling to floor storage system (with 2 - 3 inches of space so you don’t hit the ceiling) because if you purchase like a medium tall storage system, just because there’s a good sale or because it’s trendy your going to run out of space very quickly. Hope that helps!

Love the energy of your vlogs. As a native New Yorker, I love your studio. I agree it’s super chic and the kitchen is an awesome opportunity for you to get a round table and, a small rug underneath it. Bring some cozy chic vibes, and add a vase with some fresh flowers.

My tip for a bathroom sink that has no counter: get a rollaway table that is a little higher than the sink and can “fit” over the sink when you need something to do your makeup on. And when you’re not using it, you can roll it to the other side of the room.

Did you meet Alexis for dinner? I saw you in her vlog and I'm like, "oh wow they know each other!" Small world. Anyway, maybe a cute little island to create a "divide" between the kitchen and living area, and/or room divider between a couch/TV and your "bedroom."

Congrats on the new apt! Suggestion for the kitchen area. Get one of those island/bar height tables to separate the space. Will give yourself some extra storage while giving you a place to sit and eat meals. You can always use a big dresser for your tv and more storage. And a captains bed/underbed drawers is a must. Also, does the apt building offer storage in the basement? That might be an option for bulky/seasonal items. Good luck!

@LuciaCordaro 2 ай бұрын

Love all of those ideas thank u !!! And idk about storage!

@traceym1778 2 ай бұрын

I would get an L shaped sofa that can be used as your bed. The 'L' part would be the lounger/ottoman part and shorter side. This way you still have a space that is dual purpose because you will no doubt have visitors, and hanging out on your bed is not ideal. Also, this unit was my favorite of them all - the in-unit laundry and large kitchen sold me and you can use the extra cupboard space for your clothes and other stuff you need to store. Congratulations!!

@LuciaCordaro 2 ай бұрын

Hmm interesting idea! I think I’d rather have 2 separate. A bed and then a couch. Glad u like the apartment! Can’t wait to decoratw

@Maddical 2 ай бұрын

Your new place is adorable!! a couple notes - I'm an ice girlie myself, and for an apartment I had in the past that didn't have an ice maker, I purchased a countertop ice maker. They can be a bit expensive so it really depends on how long you think you'll be there and how much you would use it. Also, it seems like you could fit a full bed in that little nook, and then you would have room for a couch/seating area :) you could even put a curtain up to separate the space if you wanted to. It is a small space but it has so much potential!! congrats :)

For NYC, this place isn't that small at all. It's very well laid out, even if natural lighting leaves something to be desired. I personally would paint the walls in a cool greyish hue (with blue/grey/green undertones) and have light furniture with pieces that slightly pop out. Less is more, but showcase those things that are unique to your life and that you like seeing on a daily basis. Good luck from Chicago (which Evanston is a suburb of :P).

Living alone tips- get ready to do ALL house chores… alone. Taking out garbage, figuring out recycling. Positive side: bed stays made, very little cleaning needed (if you are a younger female- was true for me). Biggest downside: trying to make empty space to invite a partner into my life! And I had a very girly apartment; claw foot antique tub to shower/ bath!
