HAPPY MOVE IN DAY!!!! I'm so so excited to share this video with you guys! I tried to link everything in the description but if you want a link to anything else let me know and I'll try to find one! Also, as always, if you find out where I'm living, please keep that information private for the sake of my safety 💕 I hope you all enjoy the move in vlog!!! 🏡🚚🤍

[@rebekkalc]

I love the clip of you and your mom having dinner together sitting on the floor! It's that quintessential moment of starting the first chapter of your own home!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

So true! It was a special moment 🫶🏼

[@isabelladalpozzolo]

hey girl, former Target team member here 🙋‍♀ you can take your receipt to Guest Service and they'll give you the 5% discount if you explain that you couldn't use your Red Card!

[@ikalka93]

Idea for the green chairs. You could keep them as fancy small dining table chairs for when you get a couch

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I had the same idea!

[@ShakespeareCafe]

Pro Tip: The best place to furnish your new apartment or home for free or relatively low cost is to join NextDoor. Where I live in Silicon Valley people give away very nice furniture every day for free because it's either a hassle to sell or move it...I really like that small balcony; that's a great feature. Your rent is way lower than you'd find in California.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Great tip! I’ve seen a lot of good finds on Facebook marketplace as well

[@shadesofvintageblue]

So happy seeing you set up your new apartment. I go to both Sam’s and Costco. I buy many things from Sam’s but Costco is best for organic fruits and vegetables. It was great seeing your mom and brought back many memories of my mom helping me move in my 20s,30s and now 40s. My hubs and I purchased our last custom built him 3 years ago and cried my heart out because she was there for every dorm move, apartments and now our 3rd and final house. It’s just feel complete when your mom shops and help you unpack.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Wait it’s so sweet that your mom helped you with all your moves 🥹🫶🏼

[@pamelamajor1566]

Congrats on your new apartment, and welcome to DC. Something you'll learn about the DC area....it shuts down with an inch of snow! LOL

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Seems like it!! lol

Hi Charlotte, so exciting to finally be getting things for your new place and putting them just how you like. So much fun to watch everything coming together and the items you use Thanks for sharing 🎉

[@mothtotheflame13]

congrats on moving in charlotte!! i def agree with you on costco - even though we lived 5 mins away from one we never shopped there, so whenever we do go in i feel so disoriented and it just feels confusing haha. i hope you're having a great time in your new apartment, and i can't wait for all the vlogs/videos you're going to film in DC!

[@skhanvlogs]

watching your vlogs almost from the beginning, and this one seems to be the best :)

[@stylesbyd1545]

Congratulations! The apartment is coming together soo nicely

Congrats girl I'm so happy for you! I also like Sam's more! I agree that its more organized and I like the food options more.

[@joysalinas_]

But im excited too for your new apartment and new life and new environment soon

HAPPY MOVE IN DAY❤❤❤❤

[@keys6]

28:38 Lovely apartment... love the kitchen and the little patio... re lack of any windows in the bedroom...can use lots of lamps. Hope uou will be super happy there😊❤

[@Roamwithstyleblog]

Welcome to DC! If you haven’t thought about it already, I suggest a hanging paper towel holder to free up counter space. They’re super renter friendly too!

[@peggy-sueclarke6407]

Love your first apartment. ♥️

[@justgigi3258]

Congratulations girly, everything looks so good!! Its all coming along really well 😊❤

[@CharlottePrattYT]

[@billiehicks6587]

You can put two small shelves on your bathroom wall and put the two plants on your kitchen counter on them. Those plants thrive in bathroom steam.❤

Happy weekend, Charlotte!❤❤

[@connieo3927]

Welcome to DC🎉. For furniture, check out Big lots. I'm in NE and closest one to me is in Hyattsville. But it is worth checking out.

[@patj4952]

Hello Charlotte. Just found your channel. What a beautiful apartment. What a joy to be starting out in a place you love, in an area you love, and a city you love. I was surprised to hear that you are from Maine. A State I moved to from the West Coast about two years ago. I'm getting used to the weather again, I was born and raised in N.Y. I wish you much happiness as you begin this new journey. I can't wait to see what you do with your dream apartment. Stay safe and congratulations.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

so cool to meet other Mainers!! Thanks for watching 🥰🌲🦞🫐

[@nainayaduvanshi7680]

Really excited for u nd ur new upcoming videos 📸❤post sooonnnnn 😊🌝🙈

[@CharlottePrattYT]

[@lisaashby8930]

Hi Charlotte. I’m so excited for you 😊 I know that by time you read this comment you will probably be more settled in with more of your new home set up and feeling more like home for you. I’m so very happy for you! You’re doing an amazing job with your new place and this new step in your life. I wish so much more greatness for you! 🩷💜🩷💜

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Thank you so much Lisa!! 💕💕

[@hollywarner4191]

I loved seeing this :) I moved to Europe 2 years ago and might be moving back stateside to DC in the fall for work. I feel so stressed about starting completely from scratch after being away for so long but luckily my best friends will be there 😌

[@CharlottePrattYT]

best of luck if you do end up moving back!! DC has been so much fun :)

[@a.g.6299]

Liebe Charlotte, das ist eine sehr schöne erste Wohnung für dich. Wenn sie fertig ist wirst du Glücklich sein 😊 liebe grüße aus Köln/ Germany

[@leonieet5820]

My brother works in Washington DC and also lives there (we're from Austria), I just recently visited him and I have to say that the city is pretty nice and beautiful

[@MichelleM-ud1hx]

Hello Charlotte! I also liked the scene with you and your Mom having dinner on the floor...so cute. I did not have the luck with a great Mom like you have! Just a question but: have you purchased any Lamps??? I'm going back in time with your posts, and just enjoying the "company". I have just recently moved myself, so I could use a bit of inspiration in order to do more un-packing! Kind regards, M. from New York

[@princesslaya9296]

Welcome to the area

[@briiannagorskii]

you should get a big potted plant or put the ladder shelf near the TV to hide the wires!!!

[@suzielee]

Congrats on moving in!! If your closet is big enough to put your dresser in, it's a great way to save some space.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Great idea!!

[@victoriaadams2171]

It's coming together..😊

[@Carrieowen13]

I subscribed because your bio it said hello sunshine No one has ever called me sunshine It's cheesy but cute

[@nimii_lovee]

This just made me realize how much i would really love to get my own space now😂❤

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I am absolutely loving having my own space 🙌🏼

[@katiewelsh7758]

Girl I live in MoCo and you’re in the PROMISED LAND of fb marketplace finds. So many people are moving in and out of the district all the time and always selling some really nice and high quality furniture! I know you posted this like forever ago, but if there’s anything you still need/want to upgrade it’s a great option!

[@kaeleighbowen3343]

I'm also from Maine and am so interested in living in D.C. postgrad! I'm only a sophomore right now but I will definitely be subscribing and living vicariously through you :)

Hi im planning to move to dc this year can you make a video of your moving cost like since you bought most of the things thank you!😊😊😊😊

[@emilyragona996]

life hack, keep the bed spread you have and just buy a duvet cover and slide it over your current one. You'll save the money, and less storage to have to store your other one!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Luckily I have a down comforter so all I had to do was swap out the duvet covers! But this is such a great hack 🙌🏼

Go blue! From MI too

Surprised that the bedroom has no ceiling light especially with no windows. Hopefully you found a good lamp for the room

Are you getting a dining table ? You could then use those lovely green chairs at the table When you have friends round that’s where you’ll sit most lol

My daughter moved to DC this past August. She is in Petworth and she loves it. Not so much her apartment, but the area she loves. Her apartment has flooded 16 times and is unable to break her lease.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

16 times??? That sounds awful. I hope she’s able to get into a new place soon!

[@Royal-Junk]

@@CharlottePrattYT Most of the flooding was sewage! Last 3 times was water during bad rain. Worst case, she is halfway through her lease. The city has had to get involved. No more issues with the plumbing at least.
