Cleaning, organizing & rearranging my NYC apartment (after my birthday weekend)

My NYC apartment is in desperate need of a reset! I really needed to bring some new energy into my living space, especially after my birthday weekend in order to have a start fresh. Hoping that if you also need to make changes to your space that this helps give inspiration to do so! Let's sift through the piles of junk and dirty dishes together and make it fun 💘

Hi friends! I haven't had so much fun making a video in awhile. I decided to scrap the short film idea and put that energy into this video instead. I hope you enjoy💘 Have a great weekend!

[@olbird7647]

Jumping in before you're bombarded with squillions of comments! Belated birthday greetings 🎉🎂👋🏻🇬🇧

[@ChelseaCallahan]

@@olbird7647 haha thank you so much!

@@olbird7647 “squillions”..? Lol can I borrow it please…?

[@m-anni2309]

Happy belated birthday 🎈

[@moda78z]

The editing was so on point and I loved it! I noticed it immediately! Great job, Chels! 👏👏👏

[@susanbeyer2383]

I always enjoy your videos, but this one was soooo entertaining! I found myself laughing at your dance segments, I loved it:)

[@natisimon1369]

Girlll, i see the cinematography, all the angles, symmetry, love it

[@injones74]

That shot under the sheet! Very cool.

[@digtheopheliac]

You were SPOT ON with that Lorde impression lmao

[@morena-galesa]

This was beauuuutifully filmed and edited! 👏🏾💯🧡

[@kristinesolhaug]

1. Omg the kids are growing so big! Feels like you brought those tiny little furballs home only last week 🐱 2. Am I the only one looking forward to the day the Santa mug returns from the pantry?? 😍 (Secretly hoping for another round of vlogmas 🤭) 3. Loved the part where you did the dishes and talked about creativity. It was beautiful. 4. I can totally see how much effort and consideration you've put into this video, experimenting with lots of angels, effects, sounds etc. Sooo satisfying to watch (so are all your videos btw), and also inspired me to tidy up my living space. Thanks for sharing with all of us and have a great weekend 🫶🏻

[@Alicia_E]

I am loving this video! I can see the joy in editing it, its a fun one! (That fairy in the fireplace😅)

[@mollyduckpond]

Wait, you sound exactly like Lorde! Also, the kitties are getting so big!

[@andreaharris7397]

I'll take a White Claw. Happy birthday.

[@rosesroundup]

crying ab my imagination on a friday! love u chels happy belated birthday!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

✨✨✨thank you 🥲

[@dianebaker5243]

Hi five 🖐️

[@Rfm2279]

Hello!!!! I love your videos !!!!! Thank you soooooooooooooo much Gracias eres la mejor!!!!! Spain

[@cierrasimpson116]

Dream street!!! I’m going to see Jesse McCartney in concert next month and I can not wait!!!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

NO WAY!! I’m so jealous!! He was my first ever concert in like 2005 🤣 have the best time!

[@cleveille05]

Hi Chelsea, long time cat owner...if you want to minimize cleaning litter off of the floor I suggest hooded litter boxes. They keep "most" of the litter inside except what's on their paws. I use a bath mat under the boxes so they have something soft to walk on and once a week shake them out outside. Walmart acrylic 24x30 👍

[@ck2d]

The litter catching mats are genius too.

[@amyfaurote1488]

Another great vlog. You've inspired me to clean. A little bit. LOL. Happy Birthday 🎂. Peace 🕊️

[@bbaby4646]

Happy Birthday, Queen! I’m glad you had a fun time and didn’t have a breakdown with the heavy cooler lol. Love your energy and the authentic day in the life vlogs! It’s very cozy and I appreciate hanging out with you❤

[@user-ww9so8pe6n]

Music sounds like Christmas!! Yea!!!

[@megmulholland4518]

Second?!! 🙃 maybe not oh well 😄

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Yes you were second!!! lol

[@robfo6136]

Kitties are sure getting big. Just wondering why you don't put your desk, office stuff and washer, etc away in the second bedroom and have your living room in the room outside your kitchen. Kinda looks more like a living room except no windows. Just a thought.

[@wendyjames8764]

Hey Chelsea! Not related to your video at all, but I noticed how much litter you had to sweep up around the boxes. I had the same issue but then was kindly given a litter box from Modkat. It’s a top-loader (if you can even call a litter box that), and it cut down on litter getting thrown from the litter box a ton. They’re not cheap but maybe they could comp you some. 😉

[@donnaw1306]

Happy belated birthday! 🎂 If you pets vet office is close to you, I bet they would always like food donations. Like the cookies, etc. That would be a little pick me up for them. I live in a small town and our local fire and police departments also really enjoy getting little donations like that as well. By the way, a lot of my friends use the crisper drawers for their drinks! 😁 After watching this video and you rearranging your living room, have you ever thought about putting your living room in the dining area? I would almost switch those rooms out. You could put your dining table in one corner by the window, then your desk on the other window corner. Move the book shelf over by the desk. Set your bar cart area up next to the table. Then you could possibly get some sort of storage cabinet along the larger wall next to the door with your washer and dryer. You put me in the mood to rearrange your whole apartment. LOL Have a great weekend!

[@OliviaHart1994]

This vlog was so unhinged, and and I loved it! 😂🙌 Other thoughts: I used to be obsessed with faeries too, and I would leave little cups of tea out for them using my doll dishes 🥹🫖🧚‍♀️ The kitties are growing up so fast! My little boy is almost the exact same age as Deli and Gordo (one month older) and I love seeing them all reach milestones together! I can see that Gordo is working on growing his floof tail, just like my boy Wigeon 🪶🦚 Also, happy birthday!! 🎂🥳🎉

[@christinabellamoore]

oh I do love a big floofy tail! Xx

[@christianperchaluk6514]

Are u a virgo or a libra? Astrology episode?? 💗

[@ChelseaCallahan]

virgo!!!

Happy Belated Bday Chels🗽🥂🥰🎉

[@ChelseaCallahan]

thank you ❤❤

[@SaintPetersburgLifeandDreams]

Why can't you donate food? In my city we have groups on social media, where you can post about donating food, and people come and take. But maybe it's just a Russian things, because there are no such things as food banks, so people look for food somewhere else.

[@Darcydiaen]

@@SaintPetersburgLifeandDreams She is going to donate the food, but she most likely can't donate the alcohol. Af least that is what I understood

[@ChelseaCallahan]

@@Darcydiaen yes thats right :)

[@kristinalaketa-wienhoff218]

Happy belated birthday Chelsea!!!!!! 🥳 Your precious fur babies are getting so big!!! Hope you have a great weekend!!!

[@stephaniea1398]

I think you have so much litter on your floor because you are filling the boxes way to high with litter! Try half that. :) They also have larger boxes with high sides or even closed.

[@ChelseaCallahan]

well, my cats like to go absolutely bonkers digging LOL no matter what litter's gonna get on the floor with these kittens 😂

[@stephaniea1398]

@@ChelseaCallahan LOL mine are like that too but that's why I got boxes with the hide sides, helped a lot!

[@debbiebriffa3241]

Happy Birthday Chelsea!!! I always enjoy your videos, you are amazing! 💕 🎂 💕

[@KARIMELUCIAQUESADA]

[@lesliwiese4121]

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I'd suggest trying plastic placemats on your refrigerater shelves. Cleaning out day becomes quick and easy!

[@sharonbillig8210]

Excellent fridge space assignment choice! My bottom left hand drawer is for Blue Moon and Sweet Tea👍

[@tamarakinney2721]

Happy Belated Birthday, Chelsea! Apartment looks great and Gordo and Deli are adorable.

[@Anaaax333]

What I got done during this video: eat Taco Bell😂 and omg I LOVED Dream Street when I was younger!!

[@1cdailey]

Your editing skills just went through the roof!!! So cool! I felt like I was watching a movie. Love, love, love this video!

[@raacchh]

Omg i feel like i like this living room design much better than before!!

[@user-ok9oz4rx5t]

You killed the edit on this one Chels!! So awesome to see your improvement!!

[@shoktrupz3219]

The Lorde impression was priceless 😂. I'll definitely put the veggie scrapes song on repeat!

[@adelecaroline3614]

ALSO my brother bought me the first Disney mania album when he went to NYC!

[@tammysarlo2590]

U did a good job, the apt looks great! I like the living room better this way. U should really paint or take down that fan over stove..ur kitchen looks so nice except for that.

I love to watch this this friday evening - it is quite stormy outside.

[@Serendipitous69]

We all need to have our own little dance party today!! Another great one Chelsea🙌🏼

[@justg1226]

When i think about birthdays i changed my thinking from getting older to the privilege of getting older. So many never see those milestones. Makes me grateful i guess. Happy birthday darlin!

[@laurenmusial3750]

Happy birthday Chelsea! 🥳🎂

[@twinmom5138]

Loved the new style of vlogging, Chelsea! I am putting up my Halloween village and doing laundry. Have a great weekend! 😊

[@alashiadiggs4195]

Happy Friday Chelsea and cat family 😊. I laughed so with Gordo looking at you 😂. For my birthday I don't do anything either. I just want to be off from work but then again I'm 52

[@Ally_Mariee]

Omg just watching with my little sister next to me and had to stop and tell you what she said 😂 “Oh my GOODNESS, look at the cutest cats ever!! Do you think they’re silly?” It was so random lol

[@bazingalla]

The living room does look a lot more inviting and cozy!

[@GiovonnaHarris]

Happy Birthday Chelsea 🎉

[@heidiharris_]

The thing you did w the red solo cup sent me down memory lane so fast! I haven’t done that since I was a teen! And THEN you mention Jesse McCartney, who I haven’t thought about since the early oughts. Hahaha soo much nostalgia 😂

[@FeeCurious]

Happy belated birthday, Chelsea! Wishing you yet another year of being magnificent as we all hurtle around the sun together 🥳

[@christinabellamoore]

Happy Birthday to you, I'm glad you had a lovely day! Your little fluff-balls are getting so big, bless them. I too love fairies! Good job on the tidying and cleaning; just a tip, the sunlight is almost directly on your mirror in your bedroom, so when it's hot, make sure when you leave your apartment, you move the mirror, as a lot of fires start by the sunlight heating a mirror until the reflection gets so hot, the curtains catch fire; I realise it's getting cooler now, but this is just a tip for you, or anyone, to keep in mind. Sending you all lots of love Xx

[@JL11775]

Fun video! Loved the music changes and your silliness among the mundane tasks. Too bad there’s not more of a view from your living room because the sofa on the bookshelf wall would be nice. Have a great week! 😊

[@beatrizcosta96_]

Happy belated birthday, Chelsea 🎉❤

[@stephanieellwood4979]

As a millennial, about to be 32 in two months, I resonated with this video so much! Thank you for showing so much realness in a world/society full of flashy in your face trends and aesthetics. I appreciate these videos!

[@dancasejr]

I'm currently watching this while mentally preparing to deep clean my apartment, so I appreciate the inspiration!

[@moda78z]

Firstly, happy birthday girlfriend! I’m happy you had a good time with your friends celebrating it ❤️ Secondly, I used to rearrange my furniture all the time! It felt like a new room every time 😃. Sometimes, I put it all back almost immediately lol! And lastly, you were exceptionally funny today and the editing was on point! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jessicasheppard7871]

Thank you so much I ended up doing my own dishes and I deep cleaned around my sink. Made my mental health so much better. Loved the video

[@familylifelifetime2846]

Love you and your babies. And always look forward to being a part of your family in your videos and all the places you go to and your cleaning and just about your life . ❤

Love the new remodel in the living room / tv room

I love Disney mania so much as a kid and as an adult. I watched this vlog while at lunch at my new job love your clothes Chelsea ❤❤

[@EverydaylifewithCarmen]

Happy birthday! I flew down to Florida last weekend to adopt one of the kittens my family was fostering. Her name is Chai and she is a 4 month old tortie. The flight to Chicago was a little rough until I put her on my lap. She was so good on my lap that the flight crew didn't tell me to put her back in her carrier. We lost our dong of 11 years in July of 2023 and it has taken us time to be ready to welcome another animal into our home but we are so in love with her.

[@Schtoopot]

I watched you clean, so I don't have to

[@lories8076]

This was a fun video. I'm in the middle of sewing American Girl doll clothes and aprons for Christmas gifts, so it was nice to see someone actually clean their home! Mine needs it badly!!!

[@kristinaidaelassali5015]

Belated happy birthday 🥂🎉🎁🎂🎈

[@chelsieflynn]

Girl you totally should move your couch out into the other space and make an office/cat room. Maybe put in a cat wheel. I did this for my cats and they love having their own designated play space

[@sla1xyz]

Happy belated birthday! Is that a portable dryer? I didn't know they could be that small. Your cats are just so helpful with making the bed, mine is the same she must be involved at making it harder 😂

[@TheConstructiveCritic888]

I’m telling you… once I turned around 33 the idea of having a beer or glass of wine makes me wanna gag… I can’t get through that first big swig of a beer or a single glass of wine without waking up with a little hangover the next morning. No thank you. lol!

Love the lounge reorganisation it looks bigger somehow and there seems to be more light 🤗🥰

This was a loose, fun one! Looks like you were trying some new stuff with editing and it came across great! Best part of my day so far. Watching this! 🙌

Do the cup trick with the kitties. Get three cups, put a treat under one mix them around and see if they find the one with the treat. 👍🏻😹
