I love everything about your space - it is able to attain an almost zen calm comfortable feel - and I know that is after a tidy up and put away and with two people and puss things would get busy - but that you're are able to get to the point is remarkable with the three of you in that small space. When you decide to give it a clean up before going to bed, it must be an exquisite moment - with the apartment a pleasure to inhabit and the bed looking so welcoming - I hope you all enjoy it very much and are proud of your achievement - and I adore your treasured little pieces of Korean artwork you allowed yourself to bring into your life 😊

Was just wondering about some videos, like the ones you have shared in this videos description, "the studios videos." It's not possible to see them it says they're private. And some other videos I can't find the episode of, like Downsizing Ep:3. Have you removed them, or is something wrong. I'll keep on watching 🥰🤗
