House Tours: $1500 Brooklyn Studio Apartment

[@apartmenttherapy]

Kayla gives us “safety, stability & soul” with her home, from the terracotta walls to her cute kitchen and decorated bookcase mantle. What’s your favorite part of her tour? Let us know in the comments

[@imaniblack]

Her home is SO beautiful. I love that it’s tailored to her in such specific ways that shows how detail-oriented and intentional she is. ❤ I also LOVE the playful shots of her pet kitty😸 This video & her home are very pleasant.

[@daneeinglis1894]

She has a lovely apartment and a lovely soul!

[@theariangoddess333]

Great looking apartment, I also live in Crown Heights. Thank you for the tour Kayla.

[@rachanasoma776]

Definitely her dining table setup 👌 loved how many books has she made home for. Inspiring words. Undoubtedly one of ur best vid

[@Jerome...]

My favorite part was when she talked about the apartment instead of talking about herself.

[@deekydan]

This is one of the best looking apartments I've ever seen on apartment therapy, period. This woman has STYLE.

[@emills767]

And it's accessible in that it's not all expensive, matchy-matchy, new stuff. She organically filled it with things she needs and loves. Stellar. She makes me feel more hopeful about my space!

[@deekydan]

@@emills767 definitely. Totally agreed!

[@Kiwiwanderer]

I could not agree more.

[@ghettofabulous1969]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@kaitlynr9271]

I cried at the end when you talked about finally feeling like you could live an authentic life once you had your own sanctuary for it. I really, really relate to that. Absolutely wish the best for you and your home.

[@dominiquecymonetv]

I also cried, and can relate. Sending warm blessing to you and Happy New Year! ✨

[@pollytiks3885]

Ditto!!

[@marinaalmeida479]

Me too! What a beautiful soul 💖

[@linds7727]

This is my favourite apartment I've ever seen on this channel. What a beautiful cozy, warm and relaxing home. I'm not even a colourful person but it all works to create such a peaceful atmosphere. This is one of those homes where you really feel the passage of time in all the things that have been collected along the way and that's what makes it so homely. Stunning

[@anastasialestari215]

The moment when she talked about the neighbors, so warm 🥺

[@kathleenrichardson6695]

I was mesmerised from the start. What a beautiful home Kayla has made for herself. I love all the colours. Her home made me feel uplifted.

[@morticiag]

This home was worth the wait. Very good style. Classy lady.

[@dainagolden]

I am completely charmed. This is a woman who radiates exactly who she is, and her apartment is a direct reflection of that. Bravo.

[@sha_na2902]

Beautiful soul with a space to match!

[@kath6585]

Best soul ever. She speaks with assurance, kindness and spirituality. Beautiful apartment.

[@cynthiachambers4105]

This Young Beautiful Woman is a Inspirational Person that "LOVES HERSELF" Mind Body and Soul. Her home is Beautiful of Color with that Awesome Smile. I Loved how She told her life story and Proud what She Accomplished. This not the End of her story there's more Endeavors for Her. From Pennsylvania,USA 🙏❤️😇

[@DavidDel88]

I didn’t expect this to be so moving. She’s beautiful and I love that. Safety, stability and soul 🪄

[@gracealfaro3791]

I love her apartment, and she is a beautiful shining star 🌟!!

[@janeperanteau6129]

I could feel the joy and see how it inspired.

[@yvettejones4249]

You are a lovely, amazing and beautiful young Black woman with so many gifts/talents. May God continue to Bless you and keep you.

[@lidiapietrusza5014]

She is so right about style in Brooklyn! I’m a non native living in bed stuy and I am so enamored by the style here. People just do it different when they’re from bk.

[@sarahtosh8369]

Beautiful home, person, and kitty ❤️ Brooklyn loveee

[@Maraaha55]

I adore this apartment - it is small, but despite have a LOT of "stuff" feels open and airy and warm. I love the use of eclectic materials too and the way that different pieces manage to work so well together while retaining their own meaning.

[@yvettepatterson156]

What a truly amazing story and a beautiful sense of style. This is the best apt therapy I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing.

[@yvettejones4249]

Hey Kayla, so this is my second time coming to your channel because I was thinking of a wall color for my kitchen, and I really love the terra cotta that you used and would go great against my dark wood cabinets. I'm in the middle of decluttering in my own way. Not trying to spend any money except for painting and a few other things. Thanks for sharing. Also, you're so pretty. You remind me of my daughter.

[@freetolisten1]

More stories like this! Thank you for sharing your soul with us Kayla! It made me tear up. Truly inspired by you and your home!

[@terrynorman1222]

What a beautiful space you’ve created😊😊😊 your home speaks peaceful n fun too me! I know u ❤ it it shows on your face and may you have continued Love Peace n Happiness!! You’re a BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@chimuxa]

I wish you the very best. You are inspirational. I dont know you but my heart wants to hug you.

[@trishr.3986]

I love all of Kayla's home! But that kitchen... I'm gushing 💘! I have a two-bedroom apartment right now (1/11/23), but I want a smaller home eventually. I loved it for many years now, but I want to find something with more light and more useful. When you find yourself using a smaller footprint, then you probably need more intimacy with your home. Separate rooms that aren't really energized by your presence just weigh on you (in my personal experience). Your home seems to be quite in love Kayla! Your kitty is adorable! I got my apartment by myself because I had never had my own space in my entire life. I was 50 and it was a whole new exciting feeling for me! I rarely feel lonely and if I do I do something just because. Because I can. I'm very happy for you!

[@MsReveur]

This was absolutely beautiful! I love how she decorated and styled her apartment and it is so nice listening to her. She has a warm and calming presence.

[@justlee4now449]

Such positive energy. Thank you Kayla. 🙏

[@JD-to5bm]

Three things: 1.) her apartment is so well done, it looks like a joyful place to flop. 2.) she should do makeovers for other people. 3.) she should be a model, she is beautiful!

[@uniqueanartist6792]

What a beautiful apartment, beautiful being and beautiful kitty 😊 Wishing you all the best

[@Nancy-dv3vf]

Thank you Kayla for sharing your story.

[@daianapaulovich4028]

What a beautiful story, person and apartment. I watched a few times. Love the wall color you picked and your story. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful wishes for you . Watching improved my day❤

[@MR-tn5kv]

A perfect space - so homely, warm and inviting! ❤

[@Damira-T]

She is a beautiful soul and I love her apartment ❤

[@charnewyngaard9598]

Oh dang, so beautiful and I don't know what I'm referring to, perhaps everything about her and her stunning apartment. 🤗

[@ManDom878]

This apartment looks great. She seems nice too. Probably a very pleasant neighbor to have.

[@richardsanty9063]

Absolutely Beautiful Home.

[@lauriebanta8990]

That is the COOLEST place! I LOVE it! I could be happy there! SUCH a great job on layout and the furniture pieces chosen! ❤️

[@taramartin5731]

I love everything about this especially her message and philosophy.

[@4WallsDesigns]

I’ve been contemplating a studio apt but bc my income says i should hv big-bigger-biggest I have a 2 BR with a living and dining area. My 2nd BR dbls as an office. Kayla has managed to have the same exact designated spaces with only 1 room. I think she’s just confirmed my decision to do away with having things - to go smaller- but actually live larger! ❤

[@kathleendunton241]

Yes, Brooklyn in the house. I love your space and vibe

[@northerngirl2624]

omg...just loved this episode. loved the presentation!!

[@terriw919fyi]

[@margotjones7168]

What an incredibly beautiful person ❣️

[@thebowmac]

What lovely sentiments from Kayla! Her cat is also delightful to watch. :) Wonderful use of color!! It feels balanced and vibrant.

[@buddyneher9359]

I LOVE everything about this apartment! The colours, the eclectic furniture pieces, the light! Such clever ways to maximize every square inch of space! I'm sure that vintage artist's entryway cabinet (?) will indeed bring luck and success to this wonderful woman 💕😼

[@martavalladares463]

This apartment is my favorite place. I enjoy and look some many times, and always enjoy and looking something new ! I love it so much... t

[@Andbygrace7024]

Absolutely beautiful person.......and home

[@kbl55429]

What’s a beautiful young lady, inside and out.

[@norakaszuba]

A gorgeous sense of style…wow!

[@yvettejones4249]

I did want to mention that I thought Kayla's dining room table was a bit too small. I think she has enough space to put a larger one there. Maybe I would have chosen a larger round or oval table to invite more friends over, but it's just lovely with its green chairs.

[@lisamichelle1224]

Beauttiful place, beautiful person!

[@glendaharding4884]

How cute!

[@vanessaparsley3545]

Beautiful space and you have great energy.

[@suburbohemian]

Wow, for one, super cute place at reasonable rent and, two, if she hadn't said she was a native New Yorker, I would have sworn she came from my old hometown of Encino CA.

[@kuroneko7022]

This is the first apartment tour I’ve seen where the owner had a pet and it wasn’t mentioned! Such a cute kitty and she didn’t even mention it’s name. A pet is a part of your life, your family. Very strange she totally ignored including the kitty.

[@kimberlybwalker11]

I didn’t think watching an Apartment Therapy video this morning was going to make me cry! 🥹

[@arlenemaymacapanpanbalagot6024]

Wow! That moves me! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@tcreative8030]

You're inspirational.

[@dyanalayng5507]

What an inspiring apartment layout - and colour! - to give us as inspiration for 2023. Love the terracotta walls, and the kitten playing under the bed at 3:07 💖💕 Thank you for this great inspiration, Kayla as I move furniture around once again. Happy New Year!

[@iggygirlsballersclub7819]

As a new Brooklynite who looked apts for months on end I'm surprised she got it for $1500 a month. I pay double for a similar unit. Good for her. Don't ever move lol

Beautiful Kayla

Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 i love your place and i love colors and brightness as that makes me happy. Im doing up my place atm do you have any tips at all. My background is like yours. I love your little 😺. Your place made me happy with the layout and colors 💗

[@tiwantiwaabibiman2603]

Blacknificent! This reinvigorated my strong desire to move to Brooklyn. COVID disrupted my plans to move there in/by 2021 so I let go of the idea when things came to an abrupt halt. This apartment feature and Kayla is changing that. Also why did the video cut out when we were finally getting to see her bathroom? Especially after she said it's the least talked about/highlighted room in her apartment. I really wanted to get a better/longer look. May;e paint the white shelf brackets over the kitchen entry th÷ same colour as the walls? EWA! EWA! EWA! Beautiful! Kayla and her sanctuary home! Happy Kwanzaa!

[@bianascimentobia1483]

Wonderfullllllll!!!!!!!!!

[@fernandamejia-salazar]

We didn't get to see the bathroom! :(

[@jacquelyn3364]

Yes❤

[@alanclark466]

It is not just that she showed us her great apartment - she shared some of her story. I also enjoyed seeing her cat pop in and out occasionally!

[@maibritton2882]

" Lean into your story" That really resonates with me. At 52, I finally feel safe, stable and "I" am feeding my soul. Decades of co dependency and homelessness, I now have a apartment that reflects who I am. By surrounding myself with symbols of family and objecs that truly evoke who I am and will become , my space heals me. Thank you Kayla and Apartment Therapy.

[@janettebooth8324]

Congratulations on creating your own safe, stable Home ✨💫

You've made yourself a beautiful home, thank you for letting us have a peep inside. William Morris designed The Strawberry Thief in 1883 and it remains one of his most popular prints 😊

[@graceaxisa4213]

I thought it was a William Morris design too. It's so well know and beautiful 😍 Oops! Silly me, she does actually cite William Morris in the video.

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

This one was so much more than just an apt tour. It almost made me cry. Beautiful home, beautiful story. I'm also a Brooklyn native so this really resonated with me.

This is the best apartment therapy episode ever. The warmth and joy contained in her space is amazing. She's a beautiful soul and that shines through in her home.

[@jfpdc888]

I so agree with you!

[@CPR4THEBODYlivingaenrichedlife]

[@freefoodchef7939]

"Safety, stability and soul." She's absolutely right. That's why I choose to alone after my own past experiences. I can't imagine ever giving up the security of those things.

[@xavia2142]

I enjoyed the video, the young lady's journey from foster care to finding her beautiful home. Her apartment is colorful, cozy, and beautiful! It may be small, however, the way everything is laid out makes it great.

[@kkmeilicke]

This one brought tears. So much joy and authenticity in this compact space-the colors, the light, the decor, and the dancing fit perfectly 🧡

[@lindswatch]

What a beam of light she is. This home is beautiful - so restorative and welcoming with lovely pockets for the rituals that matter. The wall colour! It's like good sustenance. She described it all so eloquently - I hope she's writing... I hear a natural writer in there. And she's come up with one of the very best layouts I've seen for so few square feet. Well done, Kayla!

[@GradKat]

It’s fabulous, I love it! Some people have a real knack with colours, fabrics, patterns etc, and this lady is obviously very talented in that direction. She’s made an amazing use of a limited space, turning it into a warm, vibrant home

[@queens6583]

I love the color palette she put together in this apartment. It is a joyful space and the kitty cat agrees.
