hi loves ☀ I'm so excited to start organizing and decorating my apartment with you guys in this vlog! I decided to split this process into 2 parts, so part 2 will be going up on Thursday! Enjoy 🛋💕

[@Ccgemini]

Suggestion purchase a rolling counter for more kitchen space. The place is coming along nicely

[@blondeburdick]

Totally agree. IKEA has so many, and a small one on wheels would be great!

[@Aunty-A]

Hello Charlotte! Came across you while scrolling KZbin and watched the apt hunting video. Thought I’d find you annoying since I’m 75 and air annoys me but I find your excitement quite refreshing. I vaguely remember being where you are in life with the whole adventure spread out before me. Back then it was “climbing the corporate ladder”. You’re quite fortunate to have a creative and fun alternative to that. Congratulations!!! Everything is coming along quite nicely. Love the utensils, butcher block and fairy lights! You are blessed with supportive parents. Don’t forget to cherish them and have fun!👍🏽👍🏽🎉🎊🍾👏🏽👏🏽🎈💕💕

[@blondeburdick]

Omg, same!

[@Noel236]

Highly recommend getting a coffee table where the top lifts up so you can eat/work at your couch.

[@BournetoBudget]

You should put the shoe cabinet in the closet and then get a consul table to match your tv stand and put that where the shoe cabinet was x

[@Alrewrossa]

Hide your modems and such in “fake” books. You basically have a hard cover book shell and put it so that the book binds are facing out.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Omg that sounds like such a great idea!!

[@amaria1231]

Omgg I’m so glad KZbin recommended this! I got done watching the first one you made like an hour ago and then you post this 😮! I’m so obsessed with this series!!!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

The best feeling when the KZbin algorithm has your back 🙌🏼 thanks for watching!!

[@ShakespeareCafe]

You can always do side gigs on Task Rabbit assembling furniture. Too bad those delivery guys must have dropped the couch and probably thought you wouldn't notice the damage because most people put couches against a wall

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I never thought about Task Rabbit but I’m gonna look into it!!

[@mgw0717]

You should get a little battery powered lamp for the entry table shoe holder! That would be so cute!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Ahh that would be so cute!!

[@mgw0717]

@@CharlottePrattYT baha! I’m just living my own decor dream through your videos right now!!

[@simonehickling5776]

Hi Charlotte, I love your apartment. It's such a shame about the sofa. I'm sure all will come good with a swap for another one. What about putting some legs on the shoe storage cabinet to give it some height? Then the proportions will be perfect, and you'll be able to lean a picture over the fuse box. Keep up the good work, and you'll soon have your perfect home xxx

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Oooh this is a great idea!!

[@bellawatkins5217]

for the media center you could put a basket in the bigger compartments and put throw blankets!!!

[@alylibri]

the tape trick to plan out layouts is sooo smart! loved this vid

[@Billy33753]

Looking forward to the finished product of your apartment!

[@radarvictory1]

Be sure you wash, dry in the sun and oil your cutting boards before you use them. Very important! Also do the same for any wooden utensils and you can use clothes pegs for clipping your bags shut, a lot cheaper to buy.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Great tips! What kind of oil should I use for the cutting boards?

[@sherrylg2006]

My husband and I stayed at an AirBnB that had the best pillows. We ordered some from Amazon when we got home. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows Standard / Queen Size Set of 2 - Down Alternative Bedding Gel Cooling Pillow for Back, Stomach or Side Sleepers

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Oooh okay I’ll look for them!!

[@tracyjohnson3596]

The way the delivery guys dragged it across floor im not surprised its broken 😢apartment is looking great x

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Yeah I was feeling tense watching that too 😅 luckily we got it all taken care of!

[@shadesofvintageblue]

It’s coming together perfectly, Charlotte. Rule of thumb ladies, when furniture delivering ask them to stay and/or sign so you can inspect your furniture before they leave. I seen it as soon as the turned the curve to the living area and seeing the spot in the same area shows they hit a corner bringing it up to apartment and knew before placing it in the space.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

So smart - I did ultimately get a replacement one (spoilers 🤭) and made them wait so I could inspect the whole thing

[@chi2om]

I love the shoe storage and the green chairs.

[@anitaolivares7519]

I’m obsessed with your videos lately😍🫶🏼 I can’t wait for the next one🫠

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Ahhh thank you!! 💕💕 new one coming soon!

[@MillyKruger-fy7sd]

U can also get a n iliand ,u get different sizes aswell with wheels sooo when u not using it u can put aeaya

[@charmainemangiagalli]

Hi Charlotte. Can I make a suggestion go and look at Alexandra Gater. She decorate small apartments . For your different baskets maybe find some thrift stores and look at what they have. This will cut costs with looking for items that is needed. In your entry way you could use win-scone light and put them on the wall and use battery operated lights. This will lighten up your entry way. You could also cover up the electrical box with a brushed gold mirror that matches the hard ware on the shoe console. A round mirror would look great. Loving what you have done so far.

[@erickapoletti2053]

You should get a board that will cover your sink to use as extra space when you need it.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Genius!

[@sherrysimpson4440]

Love the couch was so worth the wait...have a great week!😊

[@e__tesla]

Love this for you ❤. You’re doing great!

You are doing an awesome job . For the tv console you can use cord covers to hide the wires. Love how independent you are.

Hi Charlotte 🙂 🛋 I keep my bread in the fridge too. I love seeing you put your apartment together. You are definitely in your Big Girl era.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Thank you!! I knew I wasn’t the only one 🍞

[@Aunty-A]

That’s one of the best books ever! Everyone should have a copy!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@paigemueller7841]

I bought from Bobs. Took 3 deliveries to finally get a non broken couch! Hope you have better luck than I did!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Ugh that sounds awful! Glad you got it figured out in the end 🙌🏼

[@louisesilance2579]

Small wire baskets for blanket storage would be so cute on one side of the console

[@goodvibesciity]

Your place is coming together so nicely!! It's making me excited for my own upcoming move to a new (bigger) place this summer. Another idea for kitchen counter space: it definitely looks like you could find/make/get made a table that could fit between the left end of your counter and that window and still have space underneath for your trashcan or at least a slightly smaller one. I have a similar awkward gap situation between my fridge and the stove and in a place with limited counter space. It's amazing how much having an extra 1.5 or 2 feet of counter improves everything. Even if you only put your air fryer and decor on it that clears up space right next to your stove which is nice for cooking.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Omg I didn’t even think of that but that is such a good idea!!!

[@zigryignacio4343]

You have lots of cabinet space, maybe you can store the small ampliables and take them out when you need them.

[@carylboyet832]

So glad you didn’t get a white couch. Love the console table

[@RhondaRose5]

Hi Charlotte, your apartment is absolutely beautiful and it's coming together nicely. Your decorating so great, looking so nice. Wish I had you energy and decorating style. Hope you get a replacement for your couch soon, they have to make it right. See you next video 🎉

[@jas_313]

I can’t get over how much of an insanely positive energy you have! Like for one I probably would’ve had a quick frustrated cry about the sofa😅 looking forward to the new vid :)

Hey as a 24 year old living on her own as well I highly suggest dollar tree or places like that for stuff. It's amazing what you find there for so cheap instead of bying the same thing somewhere else for so expensive

[@SMile-ce1zd]

You could put your toaster and air fryer in the cabinet. I get mine out everything I use it and put it back. That way I don’t have to clutter my counters

[@jailabrei1494]

Love it so far, its really coming together very nicely. I would get a rug to put in the living room, if your couch ever slides.

I love those green chairs! Once you get your couch I’d get a long, skinny dining table and put against your windows and use those green chairs at the dining table.

[@mistynorris6041]

I’d also like to add that you could get a backless bench to slide under the table and pull it out for extra seating at the table.

Do you have room to put some kind of small island counter? If so it'll really help with storage and extra counter space.

[@blondeburdick]

I have a similar media console, and bought two taller slouchy baskets for blankets, gloves and hats, dog items…hides a mishmash of necessities and looks super cute. Home Goods or Target are good resources!

Hi Charlotte!!! I’ve been soooo much enjoying your moving series!! Lol enjoying I mean you are getting me thru my work shift 😂🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 so I thank youuuu . I wanted to ask have you considered getting a mini island for the kitchen on wheels? It may give you more space when you are prepping/cooking. And when your not using it you can roll it back to its place 🩷 also are you thinking to get a headboard? Sorry if I missed anything I’m still binging 😂✨🫶🏽

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

Could you put one chair in front of the balcony window,( where you had the two together) and the other across from it near your ladder shelf? Better for conversation.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I thought about that too but you wouldn’t be able to walk through either of the sides of the couch bc the chairs stick out too far :/

[@nicolepotter8592]

You could always put one of those chairs outside on your patio if it's covered so u still have them

Your apartment’s looking great!! Sorry about the couch, it seems like nothing seems to ever go as smoothly as we expect either so I get the struggle. Also I feel you on the “girl math” with adding the white glove service with the couch, I’ve used that same logic so many times 😅 Like when my Xbox Series S went out and I was initially just planning to get another, but then was like “well I’m already gonna be spending $300 on a Series S, might as well spend an extra $200 and get the Series X instead” 😂
