I have personally tested Nathaniel Drew‘s at-home Wi-Fi and successfully performed the world’s first teleportation in history. It was that fast.

You took minimalism to a new level w all this décor

Cant emphasise enough, how happy it makes me to see someone building a life with deeper meaning and designing their home to fulfil those intellectual cravings.

It’s beautiful and incredibly inspiring to see a highly intelligent person expressing and experiencing so much joy. Allot of times it seems that more intelligence comes with more sadness (and I know you’ve shared some of your sad moments). The light in your eyes when you describe your vision is contagious. Thank you for bringing us along and showing us that it is possible to find and experience joy 🥲😊

I love the direction you and your channel is moving in. The fact that you never gave up on this goal of creating a community and making a home in France just makes me admire you so much more. You’re living life to the fullest and making your dreams a reality and you truly inspire me to do the same. Can’t wait to see your house become a home ❤️

To be honest, I'm happy to watch some sponsored content knowing that it helps the construction of your apartment

You are, honestly, one of the most inspiring people on this platform. Watching your videos makes me feel free and limitless like everything is possible. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Love from Portugal x

This reminds me of an article about a woman who hold storytelling evenings. She invited people to talk about a different topic every day and everyone had to tell personal stories. This is really great and I'd love to do something like that too

The fact that you have only like two squares left on your toilet paper makes it even more minimalist!❤🚽

Dude, I relate so deeply to everything in this video. I just bought my first house recently too, and the first thing I bought was a painting of "The Yellow House" by Van Gogh. I bought this painting because Van Gogh imagined that the yellow house he lived in would become a hub where he could invite fellow artists to create, and that's what I envision for my space as well. Can't wait to see what you create, man.

Just watched midnight in Paris for the 3rd time last week. My mind was primed for this and I’m even more excited about what you’re creating. Btw, your energy is contagious! (I have a huge smile on my face) Love love love this series my friend!

My guy - every video you create is nothing short of captivating. I'm a big fan. Spent a month in Paris in January and all I want to do is move there. Keep it going!

I love the fact that you're not seeing this space merely as your apartment but as a place to welcome people, share experiences. It's so cool! :)

Honestly I know white walls are still very popular, but living in a house with mid to dark mocha walls was an eye opening experience. Beautiful mood it puts you in, highly recommend darker walls at least in some situations, or maybe just on one wall to make it pop...or for a movie watching room:)

I can't express how interesting it is, the fact that you are full of ideas and such a deep will to live your life to the max, surround yourself with people that share the same way of living, and constantly improve yourself. that's what I try to do every single day. thank you so much for sharing and being vulnerable in front of millions of people. Your good vibes are multiplied!

Loving the Atelier idea! you should totally set up an artist residency program, fostering others creativity (as well as expanding your own) in your own space!

I love that you’ll be hosting these salons! What an incredible and fulfilling legacy to take on and modernize. When you said “not to get blasted but to expand our minds,” it hit home. Can’t wait to see it! Edit: Atelier Lutèce - holy shit, perfect haha

I cannot stop smiling from seeing how wholesome and joyous Nathaniel jumping from mattress to mattress was. You can tell how much fun he’s having from just the editing in that scene alone. 🥹✨ Not only are we watching the embodiment of someone being so tapped into who they are, they’re living so authentically, we’re really being taken along for the ride. Ugh all the feels! Thank you for your storytelling & inspiration 🙏🏼❤️

Dude this is so inspiring. I want this too. Creating a new artistic period, that is totally the energetic vibe we need in this world instead of all the fear based living. You my friend are an inspiring person and I hope to meet you one day. Thanks for the videos!!

I have changed your name in my phone to Gertrude🔥

It feels good to see you so happy and super hyped 😆. Congratulations for your new apartment

To the *worthwhile person* seeing this, your dream is not dead. Don’t allow the past and current pains and hurts stop and define you. You’re more than a conqueror. Rise up and put yourself together. Keep pushing your future depends on it. I wish you all the best in life ❤️.

I'm loving this! Not many people are being deliberate about hosting creativity and encouraging community and discourse, I would love to see this grow into a real hub for likeminded people to come together and open up other locations around the world with the same mission.

Now one of my dreams will be going to Paris and seeing if one day I may encounter you in the streets and have a deep conversation about life. Congratulations on your new apartment Nathaniel, so happy for you 👏

I love your laugh Nathaniel! I hope you achieve your dreams. I hope everyone has the strength to chase their dreams and achieve everything they want to in this life. 💕💕

It's crazy how we moved in a similar direction at the same time. Back when I found your channel 2,5 years ago, I was in a very similar phase as you were, figuring out life , moving to France... And now, I live in Paris too and your content about building a home base, Art etc. resonate so much with me and my own life. I agree a lot with your vision of "killing the 20th century" and can not wait to see how all of this is evolving! Keep up the good work!

Somehow you make an apartment tour so fun and delightful, but it's you. Your apartment is gorgeous.

I must admit, you got me with the Salon. A native of California, I escaped to my true life in France in 2007. While I adore Paris, my true home I found it in a small village about one hour from the border with Spain. When you pass Shakespeare & Company, throw it a kiss for me. When I first visited Paris, they took copies of my first poetry chapbook for Poet's Corner and I still have my receipt as my favorite French souvenir. Congratulations on your apartment and I wish you all the best.

Literally just got rid of almost all of my stuff. I'm basically just letting the universe know that I'm ready for van life 🙃 So excited for you and your new chapter! ❤️

Always loved Gertrude Stein and her impact on art history! Rooting for this atelier lutèce!!! Love from Madrid

Tus videos son siempre de mucha inspiración, te invitan a reflexionar constantemente. Gracias por sacarme de la monotonía del día a día para tomarme un cafecito y mirar tu contenido.. Saludos desde Argentina!

Wow this is so inspiring. I never heard of "salons littéraires" but I always felt like I wanted a home where I could invite people over and talk about life, art, science, philosophy, etc. and collaborate. So this really reaffirmed that goal and desire and to actually work towards it.

I'm so happy for you Nathaniel. I've been watching all of your videos for a year already and it always felt like you were my personal psychologist because I've struggled with the same emotional states as you were describing in your videos and listening to your ideas and thoughts always helped me. I'm so grateful for this because you actually helped me to find a meaning or rather the absence of conventional meaning (in a good way) in my life. I know that feeling when you waited so long and ultimately managed to save money for your first own apartment. I was so excited when I opened the door of my apartment. I was so inspired and started visualizing my dream apartment and my future life in it. I've bought mine in December 2021. I started to work on the design project and renovation, planning all details of my future home. And then February 24 came... It's the third month since the city of Kharkiv is under the everyday heavy shelling by russians. Kharkiv was a city with 1.5 million citizens which is just 0.5 million less than Paris. It was a vibrant city of students, everyone has own plans for the future. I still can't believe that such genocide is possible in 21st century but it's our reality. As for now, I don't know if the building of my apartment still exists, but even if it is still there it's just a matter of time. Frankly speaking, I don't care about my apartment anymore, it was just a house. Many people lost their lives, some lost their beloveds, some deaths were quick, and some died in pain and were tortured, so my loss is just nothing compared to others. I've managed to escape the city and I'm relatively safe now (if the safety concept is still appropriate nowadays) I'm not sure why I'm writing this comment here. I understand that it's not appropriate here, so sorry for that. All I want to say to all of you - appreciate what you have now, just one missile sent by the order of an insane old man could destroy everything you have. Yes, it is corny, but when all your life crumbles apart you understand that all the shit you had before is just a trifle. Stay safe and be brave like Ukraine. Hugged you all.

It sounds like you have a specific vision for the apartment and I'm telling you what I wish someone told me: hire an architect or at least an interior designer to bring your vision to life. Unless you've done it before, it's likely not going to live up to what you want and you'll end up paying more anyway. In my experience, you get to enjoy your new apartment sooner and my architect paid for himself as he knew what to spend money and on but more importantly, what NOT to spend money on. Either way, this is going to be a fun journey and you're going to learn a lot. Madadaalo!

Feel like we, and many people, are going through the same journey. F' all the self-help stuff, and just try and enjoy life, no pressure, go with the flow and see things workout if you don't stress.

I loved your vision so much especially the idea of Salon littéraire! I've always wanted to be part of it whenever I think about living abroad especially France or UK or Spain.. it would be so nice to have many friends with whom you can discuss philosophy, literature, art music film.. etc I hope I'll get to experience it one day too.

Your excitement for your new apartment, your future, and this project is SO CONTAGIOUS. So happy and excited for you. Love from Seattle.

It makes me happy seeing you seem so happy with where you’re at right now and about where you are going. Really makes me smile while watching!

A tongue Scraper is everything in life. I could not go on without one.

Bring Sadia in and give us some cooking lessons... its gonna be amazing! I am so much excited about this new way of living of yours and also my way which is hugely inspired by you. Thank youu :)

I like how you’re showing more personality in your videos. You seem happier and I love that for you ❤️

I cant wait to see how you transform this apartment. By the way the toilet walls are pretty cool in my opinion, as your friends said it's funky and thats why he likes it

dude i wish i lived in paris. your desire for deep/meaningful conversation is what I'm always after in friendships.

Man, the way you explore life, and how you make it sound, the cultural background, the genius in the storytelling, and THE VIEWS! Whatever you do going forward, I wanna be here to watch!

Obsessed with the idea of having these kinds of “salons” to gather creatives 🧚🏽

I love the French balcony :D minimalist apartment we have a similar vibe in Budapest with the inside corridors old downtown houses. :)

Stephen Fry is one of my favourite narrators! His voice is so soothing and his English his impeccable 🙏🏻 He’s also read all the Sherlock Holmes stories and I loved it. I also recently discovered that David Attenborough read his own book, Life on Earth, which just such a joy to listen to if you love Attenborough and nature documentaries

To hear you so excited is heartwarming

YES! Cooking content please! What a nice place Nathaniel.

Bro be just living his life and inspiring the shit out of me throughout it, amazing work and congratulations man 👏👏👏

I'm so happy for you and so excited to follow along! You're doing something unique here!

Wait, hold the phone. You're going to have people you like over to your house to have a chat about stuff you like? That's mind blowing. I can't believe no one does this. This is game changing. This is epoch defining. You're the philanthropist genius the world needed. This is going to have such a dramatic affect on the people of Paris. I hope they're ready for you hosting people.

Thank you for uploading, you made my day

*A TIP* : As you learn more about communication, practice making yourself understood until others experience positive reactions to your words.

I feel like this whole comment section would love to be around and have a friend like you, to be part of your community and be able to get creative in such a great environment. Your work is amazing because we can’t all be physically with you but we do bond over your content and your videos. Thank you Nathaniel! Love from Portugal!

Nathaniel, I can see a glimpse of the vision/ambition you have. I like it, you got it mate

Nathaniel living the life, some of us only dream of…!

Man I'm soooo gelous!! Ahahah my DREAM right now is to own a place in the centre of Rome and you're such an inspiration! My second dream is to eventually be invited to one of your salons 😂 let's make these the real roaring twenties!

I want to drink copious amounts of wine on that tiny balcony!!!

I vibe so much with what you're saying and your worldview! Honestly, I have always felt like the country I live in is too small for how I feel about the world. I need to see more, experience more, understand more. Like I just can't contain how many beautiful and interesting things are in the world, and the idea of not experiencing that for the rest of my life seems insane to me. I share into your feelings so much and it is surprisingly hard to find likeminded people!

Just passing a thought, having “work” associated with your home, as in atelier (workshop), could be something to stray from even if it’s something as non factor as what you call your home. Looking forward to see what comes next from you!

Fun Fact: Nathaniel Drew accidentally locked Jack Edwards in their own apartment.

feel so proud and happy for you! I'm super excited to see the content you create once you have set up your "salon" and the way that will shift your perspective ad your videos

Maaan you look so happy, excited and full of energy, what a pleasure to witness that :)

I practiced guitar for a 3 years every day for 5⌛hours+. Observe my progress🚀

The only thing minimalist about me is my subscriber count :(

Tellement content pour toi, la série va être trop cool !!

I'm so happy for you Nathaniel, you worked hard for it and you deserve it all

"Things you own will end up owning you" Tyler Durden

I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now and your talent is limitless. We are going to paris in July and I hope by fate we run into you! I’m so excited for this new chapter in you life. Congrats !

I love this so much! So happy for you and I'm so excited to see your Atelier Lutece come alive!

I really appreciate that you include a countdown with your ad reads. I love that transparency, you do not underestimate our intelligence and you are open about the fact this is a job and you are doing work. Good job, Nate. Veeeeeery excited for this glow up. :)

I don't think I've ever been so proud of someone I've never met

What a dream !! As a photographer I love the separated balconies because it is PERFECT for super cool photos with the parisian rooftops 😍😍😍

Last night I had the strangest dream that I was walking with a friend, and said, "Nathaniel Drew hangs out here". You immediately walked up to us and said, 'yes I do." Then you laughed, and joined us. It was as if you were waiting for us, or someone, to show up. You walked us to an apt. with several rooms. There were other people staying there. We were discussing something interesting but I can't recall the details. Then, some noise from the apt. next door woke me up. The dream brought me here, as I realized I haven't seen your channel recently. Loved what you said about having fun, and creating community. Excited for you and your plans!

Wouldn't it be so much fun if you hired an architect and designer experienced in maximising small spaces and creating beautiful features like crown molding and beautiful windows and besoke furniture!! The NeverTooSmall channel is so amazing and I think you'll find stunning inspiration there :)

This is strangely one of my favorite videos of yours because the aspiration to build a community and bring back the Salon is, no exaggeration, life changing for me. I don't know if I can do the same -- I don't have the benefit of being a content creator with an easily accessible network of people -- but I know that it gives me so much energy just thinking about it. I actually now realize that discussing ideas I care about face to face is NECESSARY, not optional, for having a life that I enjoy.

I love how excited and elated you are in this about your place. Its really refreshing. Thank you for your stuff dude

Oh wow, I've always dreamt of doing the "salon" thing at my place too! I'd love to join you for a salon chez toi when you get them going! I'm in Grenoble, but it's super easy to get up to Paris. And say hi to Paul Taylor for me ;-)

Your apartment is beautiful and I have never seen you so happy! Congratulations! And Gertrude Stein rocks. So looking forward to more of your videos. You are taking carpe diem to a whole new level.

Hey Nathaniel, just wanted to say it's amazing to see how you're blossoming at the moment. Enjoy every moment of it! 🙏

Again Nathaniel, your content is the best I've ever watched, it's like my favorite TV show but never ending, watching you the past 2 years, I've learned french started learning Spanish, even gave me the motivation to achieve me dream and get the ability to live where I want, next home will be in Bordeaux, next year.

Seeing you happy makes me so extremely happy and gives me so much energy. With the way you are reacting in such a positive and humoristic way to even the most small things, I know you are in a good place. It also tells me that you have had some tough times, because reacting the way you do is typical when feeling "free" or "released" from bad times and feeling as though things are moving in the right direction. Makes me so happy to see! Congrats on the apartment, this is only the beginning for you!

Love the « salon » idea! It has been sorely lacking for a long time. It will grow organically, and maybe, help the world! Thank you!

I'm loving this new chapter in your life, also love the space. I'm so excited for what's to come.

I'm so excited for more episodes of this series! Love it!🥰💯

Such a beautiful space. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with it!

Brother i’m so happy for you, i can feel your enthousiasm and exitement for this new future period through my screen. I hope i can achieve such a life your creating right now and I am extremely curious how you will bring your ideas to life in Atelier Lutèce. Keep up the great work and please take me with you on this adventure! Love from the netherlands❤️

I'm weirdly excited for you and for the stuff you'll make in this space. Can't wait to see it come to life!

I am so incredibly excited for you and can’t wait to see what new inspiration comes from the new place!

This is super inspiring to see! As a musician searching for meaningful connections around me has been difficult during the pandemic, but seeing your passion for it makes me want to go out right now and discover new people :)

I’m genuinely so excited for you!

I am so genuinely excited for you and I can't wait to see your content. Congratulations!!

It is such a joy to see your excitement and enthusiasm for your new home. I have smiled the whole way through. Best Wishes! Welcome Home!!

Dude, I'm so happy for you! Haha. I'm such a fan of apartment tours but this one is like any other, the insights, the inspiration, the vision, the name of the space, what you want and why you want to create it is simply amazing. Can't wait to see more of this apartment, you have a nice canva to work on. Wish you luck!

Super excited for you man! Can’t wait to see what you do next

I am absolutely in love with your storytelling! The way you edit your videos, the excitement in your face, your ambitions, and the desire to live is amazing! I wish to visit the Atelie Lutec one day as a creator and have a wonderful trip with you and other creators… trip to Lutec, of course 🌈

This video is just wow! Loooved how humble and real the feelings are, and can not wait to see future updates ❤

It's so wonderful to see Nathaniel feeling so much joy- It really shines through this video and you just can't help but smile along. Congrats on this huge achievement! So excited to see your beautiful home's evolution over the coming months.

Every time I watch one of your videos, I just want to give you a big hug. Such a wonderful human being.
