[@leahsfieldnotes]

[@apple.cheeks]

This makeover was extremely satisfying, the upgraded furniture changes the feeling of a space so much! Also, I love how your tastes kind of align with Andrew's, it's like an apartment collaboration :')

[@leahsfieldnotes]

hehehe thank you, the sofa bed is awaiting you 😌

I’m moving out soon, and this house is honestly everything I’d want it’s so cute and so airy and so many plant babies aaaaa

[@mylifeasayushii]

Hope you are doing well to!! Good luck with whatever you are doing 💜💜

[@leahsfieldnotes]

awww keep it up!!! proud of you :)

[@viragfeher1279]

this was so much needed when my only motivation is the idea of having my own space and live the life i want to. i just wrote this to my friend yesterday but now im sharing with you: what me keeps on the ground is daydreaming. i dream about my future. i imagine a safe place for myself and for everyone else i care about. i want to have my own apartment, but doesnt need to be an apartment, i will be a happy with a studio room too. this place will have big windows, so the room will always be well-lighted. i will have plenty plants, so it will feel like that you are in the nature. i will have my own salt lamp and air diffuser so i wont have any problems with my allergy. the room will always be warm enough, so my nails wont ever turn blue again. i will have a nice, small kitchen where i will be able to bake and cook delicious food for my friends. and i will always welcome everyone here

[@giaxalyse]

Your whole apartment looks like a metaphorical hug 😍 or a warm drink on a cold morning while you wear fuzzy socks and have no assignments due

[@selinasoup]

Every time I hear that intro jingle, I automatically relax haha

[@chiara8280]

Do you know what is the name? 🥺

[@estrellasjournal]

this video shows leah would make a great interior designer

[@danaekolyva3309]

The multifunctionality in this space is the best thing about it. The lego blocks couch, the dining space bench that doubles as extra seating for the living room, the stacking tables that can become a workspace, the dining table that is also a desk... (I'm sure I'm forgetting something...) This space feels so much bigger than it really is! Great work!

[@kennedyeve3825]

After weeks of writer's block, this video left me inspired, creative, and peaceful. Thanks, Leah, for inspiring the art community with your work!! :)

[@jesswueb9505]

At the very moment that you say experience living with a significant other for the first time and he holds your hair out-of-the-way while you're eating noodles??? that's love

[@speckledwithsun5307]

Leah you are literally a wizard ✨The apartment is so gorgeous 😍I gotta say the best space efficiency I ever did was in my room at my parent’s house, which is rly small, but I have a bunk bed in there with a desk and mini sofa nook underneath and salt lamps and plants everywhere. It’s small but so cosy 🥰

[@lalchhanhimi9120]

i swear this is the most fun and very relaxing makeover video i've ever seen

[@jessmarshall664]

omg blokus is the best board game yes. cementing the apt as STYLISH and SMART !!

[@nishagurung2761]

The energy I get from watching this is so healing. Thank you Leah(fellow Gemini😊)

[@caroscas]

I loved this video so much because I feel like it was so realistic! I see so many apartment tours or renovations on yt from people in their 20s where one can definitely tell that it's unattainable for so many people, or couples, around the same age. Like, they'll have really expensive furniture and their apartments look sleek but not that practical. And this video was so much more relatable, with really smart, affordable tips and solutions Leah found. It's a cozy apartment, practical, organic, you find solutions as you need them and as you can afford them and it really looks like two people happily live in it. I love this! Thank you so much 🍃

[@shanemcinally7092]

I edited my first video today (just a clip of making a cup of tea) I never would've done that if I didn't find this channel and it's eclectic creator. I listened to your podcast and afterwards I talked with someone for like two hours (I needed that), that podcast was something special. this video was something special. I love the DIY stuff, I think I'll try making that DIY lamp.

[@SecertRebel]

Everything in your Montreal apartment makes sense! I never seen a place that’s so cozy and free flowing yet have amazing functionality. I’m sorry I’m just in awe and amazed. Like hooow?! It’s magic

[@ElleSuko]

Moved into my first apartment like four months ago and have been too lazy to finish decorating - this was the final push I needed, ur space is ✨☁️beautiful ☁️✨

[@val-zu6iq]

i recently found your channel when i was looking at room transformation videos for some inspo in my room, and just watching your video on the college house tour i fell in love with your vibe. your videos give me such a warm and cozy vibe and you just seem so sweet. you are now one of my favorite youtubers and i will be binge watching your vids for the next few days !!

[@mormonasvidasecreta]

thank you for your authenticity ❤️

[@SushiSnak]

I love all your furniture choices, everything is so multifunctional. It's great that Article decided to partner with you and I will definitely have to check them out~!

[@chantiquoi]

your videos give me a moment of peace and happiness 💆🏽‍♀️

[@athenaxy6343]

hey I have been following your channel for quite a while and yesterday I watched your French vlog with my boyfriend, literally the first time that I realized how similar we are haha, I'm Chinese Russian living in Belgium with my boyfriend, and he also speaks French and English, I'm struggling to learn a bit of French every day :p we often cook Asian food at home, your vlog is like a mirror showing our footprints in everyday life! and we both love the chills and coziness of your videos, making us smile every time :) thank you so much for sending us warmth in this very special wintertime ❤️

[@DJnujabes]

Hey that's me ! :^) Oui, on adore tes/vos videos très chill !

[@marliini_]

your editing and storytelling skills are literal goals

[@jjstarrprod]

It's been only 2 weeks and I feel it's been forever ! Glad to see and hear your beautiful smile again ! And yes, no stress. If some videos take longer to make, take the time you need. We'll still hanging around in KZbin by the time you're done. Quality takes dedication and time, every artist knows that ! Awesome renovation ! The before/after segment really showcases how changing the furnitures of a place makes it not only that much more personal, but also can enhance productivity, likeability, and mood in general, as well as how much you wanna stay in there. And same as for your choices in clothes, you showed us here that you've got equal good taste in interior design (with a lil help from Andrew, of course). Props to Article, to send you all this ! They do some really slick furniture designs, and I love how you unified the color palette of the whole living room, all light gray and light wood. C'est très léger, et aérien, et les plantes complètent le tout avec quelques touches de vert qui rendent le tout vraiment vivant (aussi, mention spéciale à la petite table-chaise dans la salle de bain ! Pouvoir se mater KZbin en prenant un bain ! Quelle idée de génie, fallait y penser !) Thanks for letting us see some parts of your intimacy. It's been an awesome apartment tour, and gosh, I wish I could live in such a place, right now (living at one of my bestie's mom's and brother's place, and while it's comfy, it's just pretty cramped and cluttered, with bad light. So not exactly the most cheerful place to get confined). Enjoy your new breath of fresh air in your "new" appartment ^^ (also, I love how you mention visiting all the other apartments made you feel so grateful for what you already have. It's getting rare nowadays, to find people who appreciate what they already have, instead of always chasing ever more. There is wisdom in this. But we already knew that under your sassiness, you're a young woman full of wisdom already).

[@elizabethvoytko96]

My new fave thing is to walk while watching your vids.

[@staceykeating775]

love that you just made cardboard dividers for your closet!! so smart!

[@lourlopezsk]

I'm in love with that multi-purpose sofa from Article. It's such a great solution for tiny spaces!

[@lakshyarana7980]

The internet had always made me think that I need to have million dollars house to be happy and satisfied... That we should earn alot of money and then spend it on thousand of dollars on expensive things and foods But honestly looking at how cozy and warm your apartment looks and your videos have taught me that you can have anything and make it a beautiful little paradise ✨✨

[@susanwright6168]

I've never seen someone make a lamp before! You're so cool and inspiring!

[@yourpalcam]

hello i am obsessed with this apartment. i have shown this to everyone i know because this is such a dream.

[@WordsByTheGigahertz]

Love an article sponsorship that doesn't involve that heavy leather couch everyone gets. This space is so light and airy

[@kaedi6452]

i'll never get over how iconic your music choices are. so true to you and make the videos so magical :')

[@romyreckers]

this was all worth the wait, the quality of this video really reflects the the time you put into it. just wanted to say that it is totally okay to take breaks and is often even better to not force something. I love the vibe of your vids, really calming and so so nice to watch

[@jasminehuang4563]

your apart looks so comfy💚💚 i love how organized it is

[@anais-us3wf]

13:01 glad to see KZbin recommends the same videos to all of us😆

[@situative4066]

in my country weekends are on lockdown. and all the other days cafes and basically life is closed. this saturday in particular i was feeling extremely depressed. i know many people comment the same things but it's true when we say it, this is literally medicine to me right now. thank you so much truly

[@LittleMissSkelling]

So nice to see a reasonable size apartment 😊 it’s so lovely and cozy. Seriously well done 👍 it proves you don’t need a massive place to make it cozy and homely.

[@luvnoh8]

i love how practical you’ve made your living space! i’m a huge fan of hoarding boxes to repurpose as storage bins! also loved the little segment of you hardcore working aka tapping your fingers on ur coffee table 😆

[@ruthie9042]

random.... but who else is excited for the day where leah starts the process of her dream cafe/ vlogs it for us// finally opens it, bc same.

[@estrellasjournal]

this came at the right time cuz i’ve been feeling defeated looking at houses but this gives me hope update: i just found a tiny house that has the exact same vibe as leah’s ahhh
