270 square foot NYC apartment tour!

[@audeysmith6675]

I really like that yellow 💛 kitchen and of course your place was so welcoming and cozy great job.

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you!! 😊

[@prissilou]

I enjoy watching these videos of young women showing their apartments, it reminds me of when I was young living in small apartments, my life still before me and exciting, not knowing what was ahead. Now, at my age, having raised 2 special needs grandkids, living on 4 acres with a pond in the south, you just never know what the future holds, but life is always exciting and you just have to see how it turns out. God has led me to where I am now.

[@kellimshaver]

This is REALLy well done for such a small space. I love that you didn't over-crowd it with things. It doesn't look cramped or cluttered at all. It seems quite cozy.

[@normalee2682]

I lived in a SMALLER than this apartment in Boston for 7 years. NO separate bedroom, so a friend built a loft for my mattress. A tiny separate kitchen not one you could eat in. A bathroom without a shower(that was fun). Sooooooooo small, a friend once said: It’s so small, you have to go out in the hall to change your mind! Oh, yeah, and &135.00 a month. (early 70’s)

[@Judy122550]

I love the saying your friend said." you have to go out in the hall to change your mind "! That is the best one ever ! @normalee2682

[@lin1038]

That made me chuckle so much! Great attitude! Have a nice day , 👋🇨🇦

[@balzoemg8415]

Wow $135/mth! I lived in an nyc 200sq studio for 15 yrs paid started at $2000 than eventually went to $2500.

[@teresateresa8933]

Very cool apartment, I love the brick wall. You did an amazing job decorating and making use of all the space.

[@reneedennis2011]

I agree.

[@ctygrl]

This is SO good! I cannot believe it's only 270sqft! I live in a 480sqft studio in downtown Cleveland and it seems so overcrowded compared to this. This motivates me to purge some things and use the space more wisely. Thank you for sharing and congrats on the new place!

[@miriamalonso3959]

Agree. It’s homey well divided and lovely parquet floors and brick add lots of character

[@le_th_]

Warm and cozy space that seems personal. Reminds me of an old studio I lived in Sutton Place on E. 54th. You seem like an art history major, if your art was personally selected. The exposed brick is about as warm and old school NYC as you can get, along with the parquet floors. Love it! Seriously. So warm and real, which is so uncommon today.

[@carolwilliams8840]

That is so beautiful. I'll be an empty nester this year and may be downsizing to a one bedroom apartment. This really showed me that I don't need an extra bedroom to have to clean and pay more rent for something I'll barely use. I really enjoyed this video.

[@theregoesgail]

So happy you enjoyed it, good luck with your new place!

[@thexxit]

Such a gorgeous space! If you can do this with a small space imagine what you'll do with a bigger spot!

[@theregoesgail]

Yes, I am very excited!!! I'll be posting my process and updates 🥰

[@susannee.colella6109]

So organized. Hope your move goes well can’t wait to see the new place

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you so much!

[@Blondie77128]

Very nice, well organized, great use of the space, feels cozy and functional

[@lauraburgess4287]

Your placements and choices of furniture made the space seem bigger than it was. Very nice place❤.

[@bernadettedevereaux8694]

What I really like is that you actually have a decent sized wardrobe. In so many of the NYC apartment tours, people only have six pairs of shoes, two coats, tops and pants, the same as if they were living in those ridiculously small tiny homes. I enjoy dressing up whenever I leave the house so I have a lot of clothes, shoes, and purses. I live alone in a 930 sq ft 2 bedroom house. Anything smaller would make me feel claustrophobic. You have performed a miracle in making your space feel airy despite its size.

[@yvonnegrant3736]

You are

[@yvonnegrant3736]

You are why you need so many things, insecurity could be reason

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you so much!

[@bernadettedevereaux8694]

@@yvonnegrant3736- why would you suggest such a thing? Such a comment reflects badly on your upbringing. Please find something more productive to do with your time such as finding a therapist for your hostility toward someone who takes pride in her appearance.

[@abiolathecreator]

Super cute, I’m glad you made the best of it while you could

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you! 😊

[@MadisonBriggsArtchick]

It’s very cute! I could live in this space, honestly, you’ve made the best of it! Tons of character!

[@brendad3570]

Very cute and cozy ! I was wondering if you could put a cutting board or something across the sink when you food prep ...or maybe you have a little larger new kitchen. Enjoy your new apartment!

[@peachy75019]

I was thinking this too and they sell boards on Amazon to cover the stovetop to use as workspace

[@justsayin397]

Gorgeous little apartment

[@theregoesgail]

thank you!! 🥰

[@CaroleCanada]

This place has so much character. I really love it. You did an excellent job decorating!

[@richardgrobertson5293]

I would die for that space! My former NYC apt. was half that size! I had built in book shelves around my 2 windows looking out. My kitchen was a walk through the size of yours heading into a bathroom. I loved it though!

[@lyndalou2892]

Gail, you did a great job decorating your space. I loved the tour ! Best of luck to you on your new place -- you will have a blast decorating it ! 🦄

[@carolkokx9638]

Looks very nice

[@LaurenOrion]

My apartment is 210 sqft, love seeing small space living inspo!! ❤

[@missamymaria]

adorable. ty for sharing. i did get dizzy from your rapid panning

[@theregoesgail]

Sorry about that!! I will try and do better moving forward 🙂

[@leewhite8355]

It’s beautiful & I love the seaside pic on the shelf ❤

[@sandraskalnik2369]

A tip about using your vertical space. Floating shelves are an excellent way to display items but you can also use them for storage.

[@amyfaurote1488]

Love your apartment. Perfect for one person. New subscriber here. Good luck with your channel. Peace 🕊️

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you and welcome to my channel! 😌

[@Gyttana]

Looks really good! You’ve made the most of the space. Thanks for sharing.

[@theregoesgail]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@miriamalonso3959]

Such a cute personalized apt- love it!

[@lucydaisyandme]

I love twilight zone. Grew up with that series. Love your apartment. I lived in Manhattan in 600 feet for years.

[@bonniepwtf]

Love the apartment, cute, stylish and very functional. It must be hard to leave, it feels so homey. Best wishes on the never fun job of moving & I hope you enjot your new space.

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you so much! Definitely bittersweet to be leaving.

[@tempestholmes]

You did a beautiful job with this space! So nicely decorated and set up to be useful and pleasing.

[@Hasna256]

Very lovely and you have great taste and a good understanding of design! Thx for sharing this with us. I'm moving to an apartment soon that is way larger than this and hope I can make it just as cozy. But with two kittens it will be challenging to not have too much stuff on shelves that they can kick to floor 😅

[@gretagarbanzo]

I dig your style. Can’t wait to see your new apartment all set up. Best of luck!

[@lifemyway200]

I love this apartment so much! You have done amazing with this space!

[@fionaburke2288]

It looks lovely, you have done e so much with the space, good luck with moving, we have lived in the same house for 28 years ! x

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you! Oh wow, 28 years impressive and wonderful!

[@sonjarenteria6902]

Thank you for showing us. I enjoyed your tour

[@theregoesgail]

You are so welcome!

[@teresam2277]

I think it is truly lovely! Perfect for one!

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@brendasaunders4956]

Yes, looks very cozy, welcoming

[@amymalina5073]

I think you did a great job! This space feels very livable to me. And how lucky, at least to me, to be in Manhattan. I am a big fan of those L-shaped sofas and wish they made them in super mini sizes. My prerequisite is if I can take a nap comfortably. But you did a commendable job, nicely thought out and stylish too.

[@pppaaattt8401]

I downsized to a 1 bedroom and love it. I really liked yours, well done.

[@icu2995]

Cozy. I was wondering why you didn’t get a kitchen sink insert which would provide more counter space? Congrats on your new home.

[@davidrankin9874]

Good luck with your move. Please share a video of your new space.

[@dawnsullivan7325]

I love your home...woukd love to see ur next one wen it's done!!!

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you! I will be positing updates! :)

[@the.niftynomad]

Loved watching the tour. Good luck with your new apartment and looking forward to the finished new apartment tour😘

[@libradasilva9278]

That brick wall gives a lot of carácter to your space, and the way you decorated it beautifully ❤

[@laurathomas6014]

Both apts. are super cute.

[@ArtesiaH20]

Well thought out space and organized. Ive lived in smaller. I would have to have a microwave.

[@carolynek1875]

I actually like your place it's very quaint.. just seems weird not to have a window in the living room kitchen area but, you know what it's still a beautiful place .. very warm and peaceful!!. I love how you decorated. Best of luck in your new place!!

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you so much! New apartment is slowly but surely coming along!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

THe brock walls are perfection and add soooo much character. I love the dining space. The decor and table set are just the right size, and really are all one person needs. The living room lamp is amazing! Such impact for a small floor footprint. Adds height and drama. I could live there very comfortably. But I can't imagine what the rent is there.

[@theregoesgail]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@paulinestevens245]

Lovely apartment. 😊

[@nancybarta8167]

Love your paintings and the brick!I have a plant a phicus benjamina thats almost 30 years old!

[@vivianr86]

Love how you furnished it! Much luck in your new apartment!

[@eleanorbertuch135]

Very well decorated👏👏🥰

[@Bronte55]

Love how you decorated your apartment.

[@dangelacoppedge6529]

I love those three hanging mirrors in your bathroom! Do you have those displayed in your current apartment?

[@reneedennis2011]

Cool 😎 apartment! Thanks for the tour!

[@tigertbalm]

Ha, I actually didn't realize you were joking about the size of your kitchen. I had a railroad flat apartment in the city with slumlords. No cabinets at all,and the sink also served as the bathroom sink,an ancient oven and a refrigerator blocking the only window in the room.

[@JenniferAustin-yw6sq]

You did a great job! So cute

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you!! 😊

[@pippalewisNYC]

Fellow NY'er here... really cute space. The bistro set was a good call, really nice design for the table. Love the desk chair and especially that radio!! Where did you find it... any shops to call out here?

[@theregoesgail]

The desk chair I found at a Goodwill in NJ and the radio was passed down by my colleague! 😊Bistro table is the Canary Counter-Height Table from Raymour Flanigan! The chairs were from a Wayfair set -- hope that helps!

[@murraywagnon1841]

The hanging scarf lends a bit of a Mark Rothko vibe.

[@theregoesgail]

So true!

[@karinrosenthal4437]

Over your stove is the worst place to store your spices. Exposure to direct heat will degrade the spice and oils. Store spices in a dry and dark cabinet. You could store tin foil and parchment paper for example.

[@lroberts462]

What a beautiful space!

[@KarenNesbitChaudhry]

You have a very good sense of design.

[@vanessaadams1452]

Who told you not to store your albums horizontally? Don't believe that. It will not hurt your albums. I have a large collection and it has never hurt any of mine and some of my albums are from the 60’s & 70’s. All love

[@susangladstone357]

[@vincentnnyc]

You decorated your 270 sq. ft space really nice

[@theregoesgail]

Appreciate that! :)

[@adifferenttake8351]

U did great with a small space. I think NYC and a few other big cities could use more of these smaller units for folks just starting out or who do not need a lot of space at least for a while until they can move to something bigger as well as more expensive. Those larger, full scale units are for those folks who graduate as software engineers and others in high wage professions who can go directly from college to $3500 (or more} a month apts.

[@rebeccaoconnor1526]

Really great use of limited space! Where did that gorgeous orange loveseat come from??? I’m dyyyyyyyyying 🥰

I love the space you created! Very well thought out. Are you a designer? I'm asking because you have a really good sense of design and spatial understanding. Well done! :)

This is my Picasso painting...Bless your heart..

[@ZoeASMRmakeupartist]

Love this ! such an eclectic apartment you have amazing taste .. so nice to see NYC tours like this as homes in certain parts of England are often on the smaller size especially closer to our capital (unless you are multimillionaire 😂) so nice to see how you deal with storage /smaller spaces . Thank you for sharing ♥

Super stylish and cute

[@shannonmurphy9790]

Beautifully done! I love small spaces and it's neat to see what other people come up with for ideas to make them work. I'm from MInot, ND and am unfamiliar with rent costs in NY - if you are willing to share what your paid monthly, I'd be interested in knowing.

[@theregoesgail]

Hi Shannon! I explain the rent breakdown in this video 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qou4YZidfLZgps0

Lovely apartment. You have good taste😊

[@aimeeamigone2717]

[@Hilshere1]

Cute apartment! You really made it homey. As someone who has never been to NYC, how much was it to rent that apartment per month?

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you so much! My rent was a little shy of $2,000 a month.
