They made that a closet and that's why the outlet was in there, lol. And that's why it was so tall too. You can tell by the frame. Also, there's a lot of themes you could do with the blue bathroom... AND, you could always paint the cupboards...

Your videos have helped a lot where I don't feel that 'loneliness'. also, your NY Marathon video inspired to take up running, and I've lost 15 kgs- 33 pounds since the video dropped. You're like this crazy beam of positive light, and I can't thank you enough for being such a motivating force in my life!

It looks like your bathroom was updated in the 1950s. You should put up some wonderful peal and stick wallpaper and it would look great. You should also think about stripping the paint on your cabinets knobs because I'm sure they are brass and would look amazing if the paint was removed! It's not hard to do but would be beautiful when done!!!!! Just my two cents worth. Love your place and your videos!!!

@Hmd938 Ай бұрын

LITERALLY my 2 thoughts! Embrace the blue and lean into grandma chic and add a busy wallpaper and complimentary shower curtain. And then use a paint remover on the hardware. 2 videos BAM

Not my girl Chelsea filming the whole video with an open fly... Love the chaos always peeking through, I feel like a lot of us here can relate to that. That's why you're appreciated, no bullshitting us, but still being really vulnerable and sensitive. Anyhow, I never comment on videos because I mostly watch YT on my tv, but had to come here and say I'm so proud of you. It's an undertaking doing things like this on your own. As someone who's done it, I know. And I'm so happy you're reaping the benefits of your hard work. Alsooo... That dining room is stunning! 😍

@TheThornhillHouse 4 ай бұрын

For the old cabinet latches, you can use a razor blade to cut around the screws, and peel the paint off! Then you can put them in a crock pot for a few hours, and it will fully loosen the paint. I bet they have some beautiful 1920s designs under all those layers!

Been watching your channel for a long time now, and seeing you overcome challenges in life and grow is such an inspiration. As a 30something year old myself; I sometimes struggle with "where will life take me?" & etc. But seeing your videos brings me hope & happiness. Thanks for being you

Me too! Full of amazing historic details. It would be great if someone with renovation skills could spend a week in there bringing out a few little details. You have to work with the past, not cover it up. I do sympathise with the unsympathetic later additions which have made coherent decoration difficult. But it’s a rental and frankly for that it’s amazing. Some of the places I looked at in the U.K. when I was renting were horrendous.

Moving to NYC soon, and seeing your videos is reminding me a lot of when I grew up in Europe. You get used to living in old buildings with character that you have to add your own sense of design to. The only thing with this move is that it includes my wife and our two adorable little children. I hope they’re able to adjust to this. I’ll leave this comment by saying this… when I was 11 years old we moved, for the second time, to Germany. My father was in the military and we lived on an American military village that had been around since before WWII. Our apartment was 4 bedrooms, but everything was old and outdated. When we walked in to see it, my mom cried in front of me for the first time in my life. But she turned that place into the most charming and warm home we’d ever had in our lives, so much so that when we left she cried for the opposite reason. It’s easy to go into a situation and see imperfections, but with some heart and soul you can turn those into perfect.

You totally deserves a place where you feel like home and I'm really proud of you!!

Also,there is no need to apologize for aspects of your apartment. I enjoy watching alot of KZfaqRS as they move into their new apartments, but I become bored because the apartments tend to all look alike, down to rhe decorations. Your apartment is not cookie cutter and I really like it. I am so happy for you to have finally found a place that you can call home. Just keep being YOU.😊

Waou Chelsea well done! I've been following your moving journey and you've come such a long way! I mean, you've decluttered your "panic room" full of boxes and stuff, you moved furniture around, assembled some yourself, you painted the kitchen (twice), you've started to decorate... it's just amazing. And I really like what you've done with the place. I love the color of the kitchen, I really like your dining room, I think it turned out great. I love the carpet, and your art as well, it fits so well in there, it's really cohesive. Love the couch in your living room. Yes the apartment is old, but you work with what you have, and you did great! So you can be proud of everything you accomplished in this apartment. And I have to say, it's really refreshing to follow someone who shows REAL life content with its ups and downs as true and raw as it is. Life is messy, we get overwhelmed, we don't have our sh** together, we have good days but also bad ones and not always the motivation or resilience to move on with plans or just go on with the day ahead... and that's okay. I feel I can relate to what you show, so thanks for that. Best regards.

Thanks for giving us a tour. And good for you-- setting boundaries about what kind of feedback you don't want to get. Who needs to hear criticism or what others don't like about what you've done? It's all subjective-- they can do their homes the way they want to and you do you.

Aaeee! I’ve paused watching this video to share that I live in a house built in 1920 and HAVE THE SAME EXACT cabinet/closet hardware!! It’s a shame they were painted over. It makes them impossible to function properly, ugh. 😕 The thing to do would be to remove them, strip off the paint, and polish them up to their original likely brass… I actually like them. I love the character of these old houses/places and the quality of materials used back then? Top notch. Woods, etc. … I also muse on the notion of all the different lives and human stories that transpired within the same shared space, spanning the eras, it’s very sentimental or romantic in a way…

Love your post! We are kindred souls. My parents' house was built in 1924 and had the same cupboard hardware. I was just a kid but I was patient and I slowly chipped it all away to reveal beautiful copper! My Dad got involved and helped do the hinges too--voila! Matching copper! It had a cool pebbled texture too. A happy little restoration memory. :-)

@ahumanaperson 4 ай бұрын

It’s a shame when one person decides to paint over the hardware and then every tenant (/landlord) thereafter kind of has to continue doing it as stripping the paint is too laborious for someone just trying to cover dirty/ chipped paint.

@@denverdubois5835Ahh, lovely! Copper?! Beautiful... I have, get this- a milk box door on my house. It's right alongside the side door of the house. It's @ a one foot by one foot square... and guess what kind of latch/hardware opens and closes it? Yep! The very one. But alas, our last house painter painted it over (I forgot to mention it, honestly didn't even think this would happen 🫤) and now, it's stuck shut. 😭 But inside the house, they're all over, and still work to this day. It is a shame, once they're painted, they look pretty bad and really hardly function. Thankful to find the kindred old house souls amongst the viewership! 🥰.

I have to say I absolutely love your vlogs. And your apartment has come so so far!!! You know, even though the blue in the bathroom isn’t your total vibe, you could also get some cool and simple prints to shift the vibe! And a black metal shower caddy that could shift the look of the blue too. Or some fake greenery? (And we have the coolest under keurig storage for our pods. It’s like a little drawer thing!) But you have absolutely transformed this place. The dining room!! Omg love! I know we are all so proud of you and the work you have done!❤

This popped into my feed and glad I watched. Entertaining and honest tour, and had a sense of how you've grown with the process. Home has always been important to me. There have been times in my life when three quarters of my earnings have gone on mortgage taxes and insurance (here in UK) just to have my own space, that "room of one's own". . And the gold lamp is a forever piece. Great choice.

Chelsea! Another bathroom upgrade that doesn't require much money/maintenance: change your shower rod! Mine was the same low-grade silver and I swapped it for a matte black and it has made a big difference in my bathroom (which is the size of a closet). Love the video!!!

@tal2870 4 ай бұрын

but her bathroom is already so small, i fear that a dark shower rod would make it appear even smaller and darker

@MandyBarry 4 ай бұрын

I have a pretty small bathroom that’s the same 1950s style and I found that the rods that jut out and slightly curve give a whole lot of extra room inside the shower but doesn’t distract or take up more visual space from the outside of the shower ❤ I love a good diy upgrade 🥰

@ruthmaja3260 4 ай бұрын

I have the exact same tiles in my bathroom and I have the colourful "junglely" shower curtain from Ikea, which I think goes very well with the blue & also the black and woodcolours.

Hi Chelsea. As for your front door. I’d put weather stripping to fill the gaps. Then I’d buy some awesome window stained glass covering and remove the dark fabric. The outlet could have been used for a small light if it was dark in there. You could use it to charge something. The cabinet around the washing machine is a great idea. Give you storage on top. I love that idea. For the bedroom. Hang some tapestries with command strips or anything with those heavy duty strips. Kitchen floor. I’d caulk the holes before you see bugs. Be proactive instead of reactive. Damn I hate bugs. And hard to get rid of. That’s all🤷🏻‍♀️. Love your apartment. Oh bathroom. Buy a rubber stopper for the sink. I dropped my diamond earring down my sink. 🤦🏻‍♀️. And had to be a plumber that day. Freaked out. Thank you💕 have a nice day

You can also buy small grates that just sit in the sink drain and you can easily lift out if needed! A little extra security for anything that might get lost or cause a clog
