nothing beats a cosy hannah vlog x

[@neener.90]

facts!! 😩🥹

[@khalilahd.]

Agreed ❤

[@HannahElise]

❤❤❤

[@au_barb]

Charley is the best little helper! Look at her testing out the drawers, making sure they're sturdy. Put that lady on the payroll!

[@HannahElise]

right!!! she is so smart 🥹

[@MelissaLForbes]

Switching things up is like taking a mini vacay…in your own space! ❤️

[@HannahElise]

YES! could not have said it better myself

[@isabelpichardo6]

i absolutely love interior redecorating hannah. this mini series of your apartment renovation is already something i know i’m going to enjoy. very creative used with using the rug and making it all work out according to plan especially using remaining pieces without being wasteful was a smart move too. this video was amazing. thank you and i can’t wait for more. sending so much love hannah!

[@khalilahd.]

Same! I absolutely loved this 😂

[@HannahElise]

Thank you so much! This made me smile. I appreciate you ❤

[@LE123LE123]

I’m dying laughing because I built a dresser (I don’t remember the name of it) for my Mom and her cat did exactly what Charley is doing. I called her ‘the inspector’ :D Took me 6 hrs to build it but it looks great. Ikea furniture is wonderful, just really time consuming to build. Podcasts/videos are a must….

[@khalilahd.]

Lmfao love this 😂

[@HannahElise]

the dresser I built from ikea took me 2 days to build, it was so hard I ended up looking up a video with step by step directions 😭

[@LE123LE123]

I saw that one and I do the exact same thing! The one I built for my mom wasn’t as big as yours though.

[@BronwynAlexandriaa]

The rugs look WAYYYYYY better now. Like the living room just looks so much more put together. And your bedroom looks way more “homey.” Good decision

[@HannahElise]

RIGHT!!! I didn't realize how wrong it was until I changed it 😂😂😂

[@goodvibesciity]

cord hiding molding/cord covers to hide your wires!! you might have to get a slightly longer extension cord so it doesn't have to hide the bulky outlet/ends of the cord too, but they sell it on amazon! or you could build a bigger custom cord hider out of a couple 2x4s & paint it white (an L shape, but upside down in the hall against the wall & floor to make a hidden cord cavity)! love your vlogs; they always bring so much joy

[@jamiesmith516]

100% agree with changing up a room. You can move one piece of furniture and the feel of the room is different. It’s like a fresh start. Good job with the rug in your bedroom. I was hesitant and it turned out good. ❤😊

[@hannahlonon8796]

I was literally just wondering when your videos would pop up! Thank you for everything you do for your KZbin “family”! You’re awesome! ❤

[@khalilahd.]

I love love love this! I feel like this was a mini episode of HGTV. I love how everything came out ❤

[@mrsbebeeledger]

I just wanted to say I am going back to college after leaving for personal reasons and you really helped me cope during that time.. I love you and your content! Thank you for inspiring me :)

[@poonamvinod7033]

I absolutely loved this video because it included so many of my favourite things like IKEA, interior design/decor, DIY stuff and also, making something functional out of scrap - LOVE ITT.

[@olbird7647]

Pahahahahaha! Oooh I totally felt that horrible point when you're in a seemingly impossible pickle and really want to give in but there's no going back 😳😂 Well done, you did it- so satisfying and worth the struggle 👏👏

[@sammykeane]

the joy you have for interior design and room organization makes my heart so happy!! absolutely love the dedication you put not only your living space by your videos as well. ahhh i cannot wait for part 2 hehe🤍have a great weekend, lots of love!! xo

[@succu_biTTV]

Hi! for cords, bestubuy sells adhesive cord covers that i used for my desk and tv and also misc. cords around the house! they blend in almost perfectly along the baseboards. Hope this helps!

[@HannahElise]

ooooo adhesive sounds like exactly what I need so they don't move around. thank you!

[@maryannschumacher1370]

Hi Hannah (my daughter's name, too) and like you, she's always looking for ways to rearrange and refresh her space. You asked for suggestions on how to manage all your cords and power strip -- there are double-sided adhesive strips that you can put on the back of your power strip and attach it to the baseboard so it's out of the way. There are cord covers strips that also are self-sticking on the backside -- it's a nice way to tidy up and hide cords. Good luck with your rearranging! 👍🌞

[@alliesaizan3593]

Hi there, ty for the vlog! I have built ikea furniture alone too and it is absolutely a workout lol. For the cords in the living room, we used a peel-and-stick cord cover to hide our living room cords against the wall, you can find them on amazon!

[@kayciemarie7977]

I don’t have many female friends so doing my nails while watching your videos definitely helps me lol

[@ndav]

Hey I had the issue with the power cords. I just bought a london power strip to the length that hides it behind the nearest furniture item and then I bought these like hook nails that you can direct the wire along the wall the way you want it to by hammering it in place

[@susanfreeman8776]

I love apartment make-over videos, and yours did not disappoint. btw - "I'm a real one!". 😆. I had a thought about your cords going down the side of the hallway... what if you ran them up the wall and across the ceiling. I know, sounds crazy, but I've done it before. I used a power strip with a really long cord ( I think it was 10 ft.) and then covered the cords with a cord cover and painted it the same color as the wall. Not sure if it would work, but... maybe worth a look. Really enjoyed this video. Can't wait to see part 2!

[@saradessalee385]

My OCD went nuts because you didn’t cut into the rug on both sides so the pattern stayed even hahaha. WHYYYYY is my brain like this?!😅

[@AshTries24]

Thank you for being real with us about how these projects actually go! ❤️

[@nija2106]

AHHH IM SO EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THIS GOES !! ❤ love ur content

[@Hollymodz]

these are the best videos!! love your style and design so much!! thank u for posting

[@bethsims665]

Hannah your videos are fantastic!!! I love them. This change for your apartment is wonderful. Mentally it is so rejuvenating. I can hardly wait for Part 2. You are a wonderful young woman. I am a senior from Canada and I LOVE your enthusiasm and raw honesty. Thank you for your channel ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@patriciafuchs5970]

I liked what you did, it looks very cohesive and has a nice flow. Thanks!

[@HannahElise]

thank you! I'm really happy with it so far :)

[@Dayisnear]

Looks really comfy (ain’t much for white as the dominant colour in a home…would make my skin and mind itch after a while…ahehe, yes, I got lots of green, brow, yellow, beige, black, terracotta, purple at home and veeeery little white ) but! Regardles of my thoughts for white walls, you do manage to make it look cozy and give it that personal homey feeling,and am looking forward to what you will do next with the space you got.❤ ( hope this comment sounds too rude, I just…dislike white as a paint colour 😅)

[@iisidorag]

The amount of serotonin you give me with every video you upload is ginormous! I wanna reorganize and clean my room every time I watch you. I love you so much!! Sending lots of positive vibes and love from Serbia, Europe!

[@ellakiwi1393]

I love interior decor specially when you find something you true love, bring on part 2 can’t wait I’m a real one 😊

[@madlov]

i love being this early to a video !

[@judymcfadden3577]

That pinkish rug is very pretty, it will look awesome anywhere. I think I miss color in the living room. This is coming from a person who has a rust couch, and green chair.

[@meganobrien9520]

I can’t get over the little carpet scraps! That’s so smart! For your living room, my first thought is a smaller rug layered on top, I did that in my first apartment and your plain beige rug is the perfect background. I didn’t have a coffee table, which usually breaks up the space visually, so stacking a smaller rug on top did the same thing for the eyes without losing space! Also, double the rug, double the cozy for the cold season❤

[@JL11775]

The runner under the sink/stove area is perfect!

[@shivlisrivastava]

I have an idea for the cords but I don’t know if it’s a good one 😢 You could get one of those fairy lights with bulbs really close together and wrap or along the wires and just pin them to the wall so that they look like the really fancy pathway lighting? Idk if I could explain clearly but the idea is to make the wiring look intentional instead of hiding it also when the lights are on it’ll be difficult to see the wires

[@kaylapearson9905]

i always reorganize my room set up I can’t keep a single layout for more than a couple months 😅

[@anna3095]

Me: I could really use Hannah’s makeover ideas for my new apartment. Let’s rewatch some videos. Hannah: New apartment makeover video ❤

[@lilyparker6143]

Ik this doesn’t help… 😅😅 but the rugs looked so much better where they were

[@mochiandco.]

I watched this video at 2 am and the whole debacle of width and length of the living room rug was way funnier to me than it was supposed to be 😂

[@Simphome]

that's a lit!!!

[@skylarsustin]

So good! I love a goo energy shift by moving things around. Even with no new things it makes it feel new & fresh! Question - what vacuum do you have? Been looking for a good cheaper one 😆🥰

[@genesisroldan5047]

I luv the outcome after she did all that stuff, luv how resourceful she is as well. Hannah, your apartment looks so cozy! Can't wait for part 2!

[@jenlindsey]

I love the swapped rugs! Also to hide cords look for cord boxes and cable management concealers

[@jenlindsey]

If you really hate the living room rug, what about a round one? Sage green should go with the muted tones

[@hollybates7285]

Hannah PLEASE tell us where you got your brown and pink pattern rug from! This is a NEED!! love your videos 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@angelaschmidl7806]

Hannah, look at these it may help with the cord issue. GENERAL ELECTRIC 9-Outlet Heavy-Duty Power Strip, 30489 (4.7) 4.7 stars out of 33 reviews 33 reviews $30.26

[@AleLopez-tl4ky]

Omg i love it !! Are u going to decor for Christmas/thanksgiving?? Are u doing a whole blog about it ?? I would totally love it ❤❤❤

[@parul8247]

it's 4 am here, was about to go sleep but saw you uploaded so OBVIOUSLY clicked. RIP sleep

[@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog]

Dude Hannah’s videos literally bring out my inner desire to be productive….❤❤❤(oh, and the Eagles NFC East champion shirt? Burn that….😂😂😂….your neighborhood Cowboys fan 😎)

[@_bebeboudeur_]

I wanna change up my furnitures places so bad but moving big stuff in a small space is ughh.. Can't wait to see your next makeover video !

[@juliapachecoguedes]

hannah! random question: where did you get those thingies to expose the harry vinyls on the wall? thanks!!

[@KINGANNEvlogs]

Looking forward to having my own apartment

[@bluerosesgaming4550]

I love these makeover videos ❤

[@CamCity98]

Your NYC apartment makeover looks pretty nice, Hannah! You’re the real one 🙂

[@ballison1716]

Good evening. Yes the rug in the living room I'm not sure. I would change it. There's a nice one that target has by project 62 for $100 it's beige shaggy with black line patterns that would bring it out n give it a nice boho look as well. I'm just sayin... I think that would be really cute. I like to decorate so I have an eye for decor

[@oliviaseville4676]

let’s gooo!!! so excited to see your growth! 🤍

[@peggyprose]

No need to explain.

[@annt7384]

Alexandra Gater and her team make this look so easy. Nice to know how even the prep stage is daunting. You built that Alex thingy like a pro.

[@NycitiTae]

Where is the rug from that's now in the living room from, I am looking for something exactly like that?

[@kyleerabbitts3671]

i think the new living room rug would look better if you had darker tones as accent colors rather than that lighter pink color. i feel like it would add more depth and dimension to the room! i absolutely love the switch of the rugs though, & how you used the scraps of your old living room rug!

[@jennahineman4788]

love you so much! you inspire me everyday! Such Queen vibes!

[@artxlife7236]

I love this! Refreshing your space, especially when it’s small, is so important to ensuring you’re still in love with your home year after year (and making sure it still works for you, like switching from the carts to the Alex drawers!).

[@cece2120]

I think moving the couch from against the wall to the middle of the room so that it divides the dinning area and the living room area would look really good and you wouldn’t have to add something to that blank space next to the couch

[@SheBeZee]

You could get another rug for the living room that has some color (maybe a lil green in it to compliment the plant) and layer the neutral rug that you have there now over or under it. For the cord maybe running the big cord along the baseboard and try to hide the extension piece behind something else?

[@annjohnson543]

Those rug pads start to desintigrate and then leave all that yucky residue. The place looks great, Hannah!

[@ballison1716]

I just sent u the link oh wow they have one instead of the black lines it has gray line patterns online. I never noticed that one in the store...just a fyi 😊😊love ur videos

[@allyruss7017]

you can take the power strip and put command strips on the back and put it on the wall near the plug, so it is not on the ground in the way. also if you go on amazon they have cord covers to cover the cords and then you can you put on the wall with command hooks, so they do not have to be on the ground !

[@judytombaugh2990]

Feel your pain - did a renovation of my office /library this weekend and at one point the entire house was a disaster but all done and I LOVE the changes I made !!! You are a Queen 👸

[@autumngaynor]

There are cord covers! They’re usually white and they stick to walls and put all the cords inside so it’s just one section and looks neat

[@karissa5123]

Hannah: “… moving into year two of living here” Me, who’s been here since the on-campus life in college and thought it had only been like 3 months: 😳

[@larryslao]

A little shift in the vibe (if you’re looking for any) maybe you can switch the light of the lamp, from cool to warm? To make it more cozy? 😊

[@susanchindamo4968]

Take the plant from your bedroom corner and put it on a stool/ little stand in the spot in the living room… it will add some color 😀

[@seydivine]

ur definitely one of my fav youtubers!!! keep it up

[@jackienewman5934]

Love it and love a good switch around! Where is your bigger (patterned) rug from please Hannah?

[@laniefalls]

i like the rug in the living room, i think a wood coffee table would look super nice

[@selenaalaurellee]

FIRST

[@christurton1866]

just add color and texture by changing pillows on couch 😊

[@Darklink7884]

YES! I CLICKED SO FAST.

[@ryanrowe1975]

Nice video

[@ballison1716]

I sent u a link to some cute dalmatian rugs also. Just a fyi...😊

[@beatrizferreira1830]

AHHH CAN'T WAIT FOR PART 2!!!!

[@Simplylakesha]

Great video, love the rugs in their new places. Can’t wait to see more

[@crownandbridge1]

Amazon sells boxes that hide your power strip

[@traceynaples7572]

I love these type of videos!!!

[@prettywildnights]

Omg I loooooved your pink room makeover so much! Love this series 🤍

[@noramarie2891]

I love your videos, Hannah. Btw which headphones do you have? I'm looking for some new ones.

[@heathernowak9168]

i LOVE the runner under the sink it looks so much better there!!!!

[@ruebennomura9143]

Wow you did most of the work on your apartment and makeover too you did great on this video

[@Lulu-oi9ue]

I’ve been in my home for 7 years and I’m still getting there with my home style. I changed up my bed last weekend and now I know what style of bed makes me happy. Still not happy with my dining table and will eventually get one I like. When I sell my old bed I’ll put it towards my dining table. Work in progress still after years.

[@Lulu-oi9ue]

If you think your living room is pink heavy you should see my living room/office area. Love the rug.

[@parul8247]

priorities: 1. hannah's new vlog 2. sleep ps: it's 4 am here lol

[@petrasacksen598]

Love the way Charlie is always supervising the activities 💗

[@sophiestettner]

how many square feet is your place?

[@SharineWalker]

In the future when you’re going to build anything from IKEA, use ice cube trays to organize all the nuts and bolts so that they don’t get lost. I wanted to get the short Alex drawers too for my desk and use the rolling cart for my kids essentials.

[@pandalover1116]

We just took the carpet out of my room and painted the concrete white until we can put down the laminate flooring. Taking all my stuff out made me realize how much I was cramming into my room, so I got rid of a ton! Now I’m moving furniture around to give it a whole new feel and it’s great! Exhausting, plus a bit of daunting a process, but the results have been so amazing. 🎉

[@sylviavalente__]

I could see the stress you were having with the rug hahaha, but good job girl😍

[@hello8839-t4i]

look forward to these every sunday :)

[@juliettepaynter4148]

13:35 is SUCH a mood 🤣🤣🤣 it’s like “why did I let myself get so involved in such a big undertaking?”

[@iamkellyah]

Where is the pink rug from? I love it!

[@williamolsen8464]

How'd you not feel claustrophobic living in that apartment? NYC gives me anxiety. I need to move

[@camilacoz2850]

diy queen! love you hannah

[@sarahmagalhaes8234]

Love those cozy vlogs

[@wallflower99]
