The first lamp exactly where you put it was absolutely perfect. The big floor lamp you put in second brings the visual weight down and the first lantern lamp created the most beautiful visual movement in the space because it was the perfect height!

I love how she used everything she had already. She doesn’t buy new stuff for a makeover. Alsooooooo this is your best bed room glow up/makeover ever!!!

[@Favs649]

Didn't she buy Indonesian doors

[@Docnuna]

@@Favs649 she did but compare to other influencers who would buy tons of stuff just for a makeover. What i love about her is that She doesn’t influence us to buy a lot of stuff or spend a lot of money just for a makeover.

THE GOLDEN HOUR IN YOUR BEDROOM IS JUST A VIBE. honestly like going through a low myself this gives a hell lot of motivation to just keep going and moving on ur an inspiration mai.

[@cris84]

omg im watching while i do my skincare to get ready for bed!!

[@M-L350]

i love watching these but sometimes i wish i could tell u, as ur trying to figure out what things to put in a certain place, u don’t have to fill every space up!! like under the mirror or on the nightstands like it doesn’t need to be fulllll there’s beauty in simplicity and u have such amazing pieces but when there’s too much stuff it’ll never be satisfying idk that’s just me tho i love how it looks tho too

[@maiphammy]

I like clutter tho hehe it inspires me when I have things around me

[@sierradrinkwalterxo]

I think she commented that because you said “Theres so much going on in this brain, the last thing I need is clutter in my house” 😂

[@Sura77]

The green and gold nightstands fit so well! I was yelling through the screen for you to pick them😭 but like your interior designing is SOOO good!!!

[@christinanaomii]

Sameee hahaha

[@taliw7736]

Totally a vibe

[@HappilyEmily]

The mirror was a good move, the light from windows hits it directly and makes the room look more bright and cozy. The night stands with the gold elements was such a great move to also brighten up the room I'm literally obsessed!!

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv176]

Ok, but how is she so good at decorating?! Literal queen. I love this series!!

[@LeenJaradeh]

I've noticed in past videos that you'd say "now you're gonna click off this video" or "now you'll unsubscribe" whenever you'd have crazy energy, lemme tell you, that energy is the reason I watched the video till the end, love it

[@oliviaflaker4453]

these videos have legit helped me get motivated to actually clean, like DEEP clean

[@zerin1437]

You're apartment videos are seriously SOOOOOO satisfying. And pls girl don't ever stop talking like I can watch you talk and never get boredddd. (You should really start a podcast) Love you so much MAI

THE MIRROR IN BETWEEN THE DOORS. QUEEN, PLSSSSSSS. THAT'S THE VIBE, SHE ATE

[@hnichole]

This was literally exactly what I needed. Just the immediate "how are you doing, like how are you actually doing" right off the bat hit hard. I'm also 21 and about to go into finals week at uni, but my family is making a sudden, last-minute trip this weekend to visit my grandmother. Long story short, she's been unwell and is expected to pass away soon, so we're all leaving first thing tomorrow to get on a plane to say our goodbyes. Even before this with my grandma, I was in exactly the same blah place as Mai where my brain has been tricking me all week into thinking my anxiety has come back, but like no, I'm fine lol and the feeling just won't go away. I love cleaning/organizing videos and I love getting 30 minutes of Mai, so not to make this overly serious, but for real, I'm grateful this video came out when it did.

[@peytongoddardschool]

Just because i have been saying it all week, “Save money, live better”. So excited to watch the new vid!! I love that you are glowing up the bedroom!! ❤️

[@belfry.bats.xx.]

i have been LOVING the penthouse series, and i absolutely love your aesthetic! it's giving me so much inspo for the apartment my bf and i are gonna have when we move in together

[@Alayjia-makezmoney]

Bro Mai, we all want you to start a podcast. Stop asking and do it love!!💕

[@rainbowxdreams1248]

Mai this video made me SO productive and I actually started to clean CLEAN my room after after like.. 3 months. I love you and your new room and the aesthetic of it. LIKE SHE ATE. THE SHOTS TOO. My dream is to live in NYC and I feel like I can make it happen now. I love you so much and I hope you enjoy your new room♥♥♥

[@gbdv8096]

Mai's videos are my most waited ones. It's like meditation for me, I get snacks, blanket and enjoy my time. Can't even explain how much I love your vlogs, their full of positivity and good energy, everytime I watch one, I become so motivated and fulfilled.

[@alejandrorodriguez4189]

Mai changing up her room is a vibe, love your videos 🫶

[@atroycjee_]

I just woke up and I'm still on the bed, and saw that mai posted a new video, god I missed you sm... I haven't even seen the whole video yet cuz I paused it and I wanted to comment first... Lots of love Mai, ydk how my mood just changed that Mai posted even tho yesterday night my bf broke up with me , but this morning you made my mood lighten up

[@prakritisingh4915]

idk girl... idk... i just watch your videos and it just fills me with so much positivity like it feels soooo gooodddd. and hopeful and positive.... and it just makes me think that I will be able to achieve whatever I am dreaming right now..... your videos just fill me with so much energyyy and hopee.... thank you so so sooo muchhh.....

[@Houry247]

Architect here: your bed is at the worst spot it could probably be. NEVER PUT YOUR BED TOWARDS THE WINDOW. You'd know when you wake up with massive headaches. And what is better than laying in bed and having a view to a wall in front of you? No. Put it bach to it's original place. Have your sitting area by the windows. Have view while drinking your morning coffe on the sitting area.

[@et0oo]

Well it’s her room and what she likes and makes her feel peace and at home is what matters. Plus she has floor to ceiling windows in all of her apartment, maybe she gets tired of it? Who knows

[@Houry247]

@et0oo nah, the window at the back of your head causes health issues. It's a big no no.

[@maev_8927]

@@Houry247what kind of health issues :o

[@maysobiedat2807]

I agree i loved everything else but she also tried filling up the empty wall she created making the room kind of too crouded since she already has a filled corner, a wall with big colorful doors, two tabels beside her bed, huge plants.

[@et0oo]

@@Houry247 source on that?

[@scottwatson8656]

Great Job MAi !! Hate to. See your Mom go. She is such a good sport in helping you do so much and never seems to mind. Kudos to Moma Mai. By the way, Mai you look great throughout this whole video. Keep up the great work Many blessing to you and your family

Instagram saw it first 🧙🧙 it looks so amazing Mai and I’m so excited for this video. It’s giving e so much inspiration and motivation

[@Belle_Ndebeledoll]

It worked out really beautifully, a Mai oasis. And most importantly if you find it peaceful and comfortable then you hit it out the park. You really found some beautiful pieces online and at markets-those doors and side tables ❤ I love buying timeless pieces with history on auctions and online, so I love everything you got, cause it’s wonderful to mix contemporary, modern, vintage and antiques together and make it aesthetic.

[@Xbox2800]

[@stellarae8257]

i never realized how much of a difference lighting under your bed could make!! oh my god it makes the room so warm and welcoming, i love ittttt

[@duckduckthethirdduckers]

Evryone knows mai is the realest alive. Im a simple person. Me see Mai Pham posted, me click 😂

[@R_account248]

First of all wow!!! Everything looks amazing. Iwould recommend u try switching one transparent window to a stained colored glass. It give such a great vibe and ambiance to the room! The colored shadows with the sun would be so magical!!!Love u and the room so much!🩷🩷🩷

[@xch1xe]

PERIOD BOO. This is the best episode yet ❤

[@elio257]

it looks amazing !!! my two cents is I would put that white sofa you had in the corner of your room by your bathroom to replace the long sofa that youve put diagonal from the windows because it definitely fills that corner a lot better and the sofa creates awkward room from the sides since its too long. I also genuinely like how youve filled that blank wall where your bed used to be.

[@lucycoleman7802]

who else drops everything when Mai posts 💗💗

[@larathomas9704]

Honestly I never comment on videos but Mai I watched your video about journaling and manifesting and now watching you organize your penthouse is so inspiring. It really motivates me to focus on self care and reflection. You’re so incredible, I love your videos so much!!! (And you and your mom are so cute)

[@Dragonswyng]

you know the guy on the clock app who yells for you to wash your rice? that's me rn with your sheets lol. the vibes are chefs kiss tho

[@yoselinreyes2645]

I kinda of stopped watching your videos for a while, but then I came across one of your vids so I decided to catch up on everything I've missed. It's now 1 in the morning but SO WORTH IT!! this series made me clean my room that's been needing a deep clean FOREVER.

[@melissaharati]

I cant wait to live in a penthouse in nyc when i get older

Your mum truly is strong, loving woman ❤

[@elasofiaquintero8175]

I don't know if I'm the only one but instead of relaxing me, Mai's decorating videos make me anxious, I don't know, I despair at how indecisive she is and things like how she had already organised and decorated the livingroom and now it's a mess again with a bunch of random stuff pisses me off

[@rosatabak4023]

mai is probs the most out of touch infuencer, but its refreshing to watch

[@brookedonnelly3845]

binge watching Mai’s “nyc penthouse glow up series” is the only thing getting me through my wisdom teeth surgery recovery 😌

[@JGalarina]

Tbh mai 1. Looove the room with some color it truly helps the soul and 2. I thought your sweats and leggings were together I loved the idea of it being a tight band swear moment

[@Julie_901]

I love how you are shopping from your home and moving things around, which makes the room feel new. Lovely room makeover. love it.

[@nakkeehaha]

The custom glass was such a good idea!! Even after protecting the top, it also adds a kinda nice elevated look

[@astridthefangirl]

I love how you have all these furniture pieces in your house just ready for a room redecorating

[@ohotter1797]

Mai's videos are so caotic and calm at the same time and tbh i love this energy

[@katdesouza2059]

Very beautiful pieces you brought into your bedroom, totally changed and upgraded the vibe. My first apt I moved into was completely bare and I picked every piece of furniture and made my bedroom feel like a hotel room. No TV, quiet, super high mattress, comfy sheets, black-out curtains, cold. 4 yrs there I loved it and absolutely LOVED sleeping in. Last January I moved into a new hse, brought the same furniture - and I've probably slept in my bedroom a total of 4 nights since. Something about the energy and vibe that just doesnt feel right..or feel like mine. Hm been struggling to find the burst of energy to do a makeover..so it was good to watch this today

[@savanarordriguez]

OKAY BUT THE SHOT OF US AS YOUR JOURNAL 😭 I LOVEEEE && the room is superrrr cute the aesthetic is fireeee 😍

[@selenajose3989]

I'm not gonna lie, I was questioning everything about the room decor as you were placing them. BUT the end result is beautiful and calm. 🤍 If you want more color onto your bed, definitely could add some throw pillows. Room is still beautiful 🥺

[@ItsLycheee]

Seriously…Even though Mai’s younger than me her hard work and success is so inspiring to me and gives me so much hope that I can get my own life to a place like this where I don’t have to worry about calculating my food money versus my tuition and rent money. Where I can live in a space that actually feels like home and can decorate it the way I want to and not live in the shoe closet I do now. Every time she uploads I get so happy because her personality and vibe genuinely makes me so happy and gives me a break from life - Love you Mai💖 Also: Instagram saw it first🧙‍♂️

[@meridakeen9283]

Oh my, I idolised these old videos so much when I was a young teen, and it’s not to say that you were a poor parent or person, I truly believe the opposite. But I’m so grateful I get to see your growth and change of mindset. These videos could be such an important and fun series.

[@alesamaa]

Watching this video i felt like we were on facetime and every time you moved or debated moving something or placing something i sat like ‘’YESS SO CUTE’’ and ‘’No that looks very cluttered’’ and i loved that because as a girl who loves to decorate and stuff it made my soul happy when you did something i was very like yessssss AMAZING VIDEO!! ALSO the transition with the fridge ate❤

You should display some of the littlest pet shops. One for the inner child. And two because that is where you got your start it could be a good reminder when you see them to be reminded of how far you have come. Also I love your videos! Now I am inspired to go clean and rearrange my room.

[@naturegpower]

I didn't expect how much this video would inspire me! Your room looks amazingg & seeing your whole thought process gives me inspo to not be so caught up about how a room (or anything) "should" flow but to just do what feels good to me.. and to not get caught up on all the details before I even start. I tend to get anxious about needing to know the exact outcome, which keeps me from starting anything. Love this! Thank you!! 🤍
