I would like to have a really nice studio apartment in a cool area. However, even though they are small those downtown apartments are ridiculously expensive. It's almost as if you have to be rich to be a minimalist. lol. Your place is really nice though. : )

Don't apologize for not being as minimal as possible! The goal is happiness, not fitting the definition or impressing people. I love your apartment!

It's like when people think "minimalist" it means all white canvas or black and white when in actuality it's the meaning in its self. MINIMAL, living with minimal stuff. You could do boho chic and still live minimal.

I love this tour because it’s acquirable! As others have stated, minimalism can seem overwhelming when it’s framed as a mattress on the floor, no art, and one pair of shoes. Feeling inspired now!

Your apartment is so totally zen. Minimalism is having only what you need and love. It looks as though you've captured that. ~Smile!

I truly love how the space was designed and how you use it. The key to minimalism is not aesthethic, its reduced possessions to maximize function of a space. This, in return, will provide you with the time to experience and appreciate the beauty in and of life. Sunlight, natural plants, a pet, calming smells, decor that reminds you of what you love... you are surrounded by beauty that inspires to live. 💛

Someone called me a minimalist after seeing my bathroom, he said it's because my sink wasn't cluttered LOL. I liked that idea, though. And, since needing to put my mom in a nursing home two years ago and having to clean out her apartment, I realized 80% of what she had was junk. It made me think. Since then every couple months I go through my apartment and get rid of things. My vice is makeup, though I am getting better with not buying as much. I like your definition of minimalism, only buying/keeping what you use regularly and what makes you happy. Thanks for doing these videos.

I'm really glad I found this channel. I realized I had a problem when in 2012 we gave away 99% of our stuff to follow a dream, I got scared and we back pedaled and ended up not where we intended to be, and we were able to re-amass all our stuff and then some within a year. When we moved out of our apartment after 8 months there was more stuff than could fit in the little moving truck. And that was a really scary thing, to have so much stuff and no idea how it happened. I want to really let go of this stuff. I give stuff away, but it barely makes a dent. I have the hoarder mentality. I hold onto everything, thoughts, ideas, memories, anger. I want to not hold on so much, and be free in all areas of my life. I hope this awareness is only the first step.

Lovely apartment. Organized, but not boring.

Thank you for the simple review. I do not ever understand how a minimalist tour can take more than 10 minutes. Lovely home. Congratulations on completing your nursing curriculum.

I am so inspired by how you embrace minimalism but still allow yourself to have decorations you love!!! Happy labor day, I'm gonna go sort through my closet now!

By far the nicest studio apartment tour... I love the layout of it and how it's decorated.

yes, exactly! Lifestyles for minimalism change and so can the way we utilize material things! I feel like there can sometimes be a culture of shame when someone is striving to create an environment that is minimal for themselves, their happiness and their lifestyle are called out for not living with even less. So thank you for saying that because everyone's journey is different!

This is gr8! The fact that its a studio but is stacked wit washer-dryer-dishwasher-walk in closet. Its like a deluxe efficiency-studio

Omgosh we have a bit in common lol. My apartment layout is similar and I also shaved my head and just became a nurse and am on a minimalism journey lol.

Your studio is very streamlined and functional you're really inspiring me to declutter everything right now. I'm taking baby steps. Thank you for the tour your Studio look great.

Your studio apartment is PERFECT. The in-unit W/D is a huge plus. Ample bathroom storage + walk-in closet is fabulous. Beautiful streamlined kitchen too. Lucky you, I’m loving it! 👍

Congratulations on graduating from nursing school :), love the apartment.

Beautiful apartment! LOVE the big windows and all the sunlight. Exactly the sort of place I'd want to live in. Clean, open, uncluttered, and bright.

do the minimalism that is good for you, girl!

Don’t apologize, yes life happens, if someone doesn’t understand then that’s there problem! Beautiful tour! I love the peaceful, uncomplicated soothing decor! 🙏 Minimalism is different for each person. You are a minimalist, don’t let others dictate their version minimalism! Peace & happiness to you!

There's not wrong with a little decor into the space. Lovely apartment.

I love all the sun that shines through your studio

Your apartment looks so clean and peaceful, I love it!

Hello, I literally just searched for a minimalist apartment tour and your video popped up and I am very excited to hear that you are a nurse, I have just started nursing classes and I can't wait to be a nurse too! So excited I found your channel!!

Sooooo dope! I pray I find something like this when I love to Boston for school! Thanks for this!

Beautiful home. Wishing you continued happiness and success.

I love your apartment! Looks so peaceful and clean

Ooo love that diffuser and the hanging plant above your bed! Your apartment is so simple and calming :)

Yeah I would suggest only one design change, just move your speaker far from diffuser.

I appreciate that your place is minimalist but not extreme minimalist to the point where it doesnt even have a personality. You have things in there that arent strictly utilitarian but seem to bring you joy, and i like that model.

I’ve been binge watching your videos since I found you ! After the video on levels of depression and some of the studio tours I’m realizing my depression is at a 6 and It’s gotten to the point I barely have energy to do laundry. And I realize (my husband and I) have too many clothes when weeks go by and I’m surrounded by piles of dirty clothes to clean. It’s really inspiring me to declutter. I have a full closet with nothing to wear 😭

Love your apt & your style of decor !! Love that kitchen !!

Janell this simply beautiful! You are the epitome of a minimalist.

This was the best video I’ve seen so far !

What a dreamy place to live! Loved how you filmed this vid. Really relaxing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

So cozy and elegant, love it.😌👍

I love it. I am also a tiny house enthusiast and love small AND comfortable spaces. My kids are adults and I have pared down my lifestyle. Your place is stylish and comfortable looking. Thanx for sharing.

still love your minimalist hair. beautiful. fits your face perfectly! nice apartment, too.

Inspired!!! Decluttering today 🤗

Hi Janell I like the clean modern look you have going.. goes well with the modern fridge and stove. It's also homey from my viewpoint. Terrific! This is my first time seeing any of your videos and now I'm a subscriber. Thanks!

Your space is so airy! Love it!

the diffuser will eventually ruin your speaker if you leave it right under the mist!

I love your space, it actually looks big for a studio apartment!! Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE your apartment! It's nice and airy with simple, clean furnishings. Great job!

Beautiful your home looks like a nice hotel. Definitely inspiration goals.

This too is a really awesome apartment and even more streamlined than the one I saw in 2016 👍🏻👍🏻

This is such a cool space. It's open, airy and full of light, which is such a good environment :)

love this apartment! nice and peaceful looking

Thank you for your service as a healer. For sharing totally cool.

If you put a long dining table on the wall in front of the kitchen and put the IKEA toy drawers from the kids section, it can act as a bench and extra storage as well. And you can style with some accent chairs on the other side. That table can also act as a extra counter space and double your study desk etc :)

I lived in an admittedly less chic studio-with old but working appliances about this size. I was 2 minutes from campus. 7 minutes on a bike path to the beach. Also just a 5 minute walk to a great shopping venue that had grocery store,salon,2 dept stores and half a dozen cool little restaurants. Other side was a couple cool funky smaller bars,one had great pool tables and nightly beer specials including 50 cent draft. The complex had an on sight well appointed gym with updated equipment, a nice large pool with comfy chais lounges.1 minute walk from out my front door and I’m at the laundry facility-again updated appliances. Next to that was the office. The manager was pretty apathetic. But the staff picked up his slack and were helpful and nice.Maintenance workers were prompt to fix/repair whatever needed repairing. That was shocking. Because I literally lived a stones throw from UNCW (WILMINGTON NC) I thought there would be 24/7 loud parties happening. This complex was originally constructed for student housing. I think around 1989-90,so not that old really. But it was pretty quiet. Tall pine trees naturally separated our complex from the shopping center I already described. Last but not least was a place called books-a-million (like Barnes&Noble) with a joe mugs coffee cafe,where went sometime several times a day. The complex went from renting to students-to another corporation buying and that company sold each unit as a condo. I’m my apt I was on the third floor. I had a sweet little balcony that overlooked the sparkling pool whew! I think I covered pretty much all it’s amenities-nice large enough bathroom-oversized tub. Sliding doors go out to said balcony. Good size closet. Yeah that’s pretty much it. Living in WILMINGTON NC -my hometown. Get off work or out of class and hit the beach. BBQ. around the pool. Shop next door for groceries or shoes. And the rent?? The rent for my condo efficiency .....,, 375.00 🎆🎇 I was given a 25.00 credit each month toward electricity,which I rarely went over and when I did it was a measly few bucks.lights are already on. Decorating a small space is so much fun. I lived their for 1yr-and am glad I did. You really can live without a bunch of stuff. The name of the place is “Campus Edge” Wilmington N.C

Nice ! Simple , clean, neat...define your own minimalism...it should be personal preference and life-meet-the-needs. Zen!

It's amazing!!! Loved it

Your studio looks very relaxing, I like it ❤

I just found your channel and I am binge watching your videos! Such great content and beautiful personality! Im a young wife / mom of 2 boys on a mini farm in south Louisiana. Cant wait to enjoy the rest of your videos!

Love your studio!!

God, I love your hair, there's something very calming about you

Sun is so cute! 😊

nice flow and energy

Very nice place! For a studio, it is roomy! I love the spaciousness of it! Congrats on graduating from College! 👍

I love your home! Love it! Love it! Love it!

Take your desk and put in front of your window.... dream and dream again ! Thanks for your video

beautiful!! and calm

Some people prefer minimal living like this , others don't. I prefer a lot of DECORS , but this studio is cool and look nice

beautiful Studio I hope you can enjoy

Lovely apartment! Thanks for the tour!

I love your apartment...especially the plant hanging over your bed ❤

You're doing just fine and the studio looks great! Minimalism isn't just washing dishes in the sink, being all black and white or living in 1 tiny room. To me it's kinda like doing the most with the least, not keeping unnecessary things and it looks like you're doing just that! Anyway, great channel, subbed.

Nice. Love an open space to move and be free to create

U are doing Awesome life goals about to decluter again today realizing it’s life style that takes time to learn what u truly love and can’t live with out

lovely home, definitely my homespiration! (home inspiration)

that couch is everything

Very nice and peaceful space. I love the zen atmosphere and the caping equipment. And take a nurse- seem like a really cool person. Great place

Hi Janell! Just a friendly tip... (I'm sorry, I hate criticizing at all) wood shavings, especially in small enclosures, tend to lead to respiratory problems long term. I would recommend finding a paper bedding if you can, they tend to be much less dusty. Sun is so cute and I have no doubt in my mind you want what's best for her! Gorgeous apartment!

Great job! Thanks for sharing
