My 2 Bedroom Apartment Tour and how I decorated on a tight budget one year later. I talk about what is the most important things to make your apartment feel like a home. After 8 years I was very scared to move...I was used to where I was...but the new place was bigger with a balcony...a garage, an office, dishwasher, and pantry...it would cost more per month but still, it was affordable. I bought or found 14 new pieces of furniture and art and a ton of great things this last year at the thrift stores!!! I love my place here! What I have grown to love most of all is the sound of the woods...it is so peaceful here and I have started writing a book of poems long overdue.. The apartment comes in at about 920 square feet. .
I think moving truly is the most exciting wonderful misery known to woman.
Love you to the moon and back,
xxoo Susan & The Dez

I’m 59 and moved across my state of Texas after growing up all my life in a West Texas town. After losing spouse I wanted to live closer to grandkids. It was scary, but it was the best move I ever made. Don’t be afraid of change, be more afraid that you didn’t at least try. Best of luck on your move.

There is a large difference between a house, and apartment, or your home. When I walk in the door of my home which is a small apartment it reflects me and I love to look around and see everything here that I love. It does not matter who else loves it, the important thing is that I love it all.

I've moved several times in past 30 years. I must express myself quickly in my space. I decided years ago to replace anything plastic with items of wood, stone, glass, pottery or metal. Nothing of plastic except few for food storage in fridge. Once you start conscious effort to upgrade your life.....you will feel empowered. Start with 2 or 3 pictures that you really feel a connection with at thrift stores. $10 to $15 can usually buy something colorful. You can upgrade later as you find new treasures. Don't keep ugly anything. If you think it's ugly....needs to go. Look for alternative that you think is nice. As William Morris has said " Have nothing in your home that is not useful or you believe to be beautiful."

I immediately packed it away for my new home. Smaller house closer to my daughter. I will take inspiration from you. My bedroom is my favorite room. I have bought all new pieces since the loss of my husband and gave my old furniture to my daughter. I decided maybe I won't live in Paris, but my bedroom will make me believe I am.

I’m a homebody, so my home is my sanctuary. I don’t follow any specific trends when it comes to decorating, just what I like and looks cozy. I have a covered porch and decorate it for the seasons, I would say it’s my favorite “room” even though it’s not a room. It is my favorite because everyone can see it even people I don’t know. I get many compliments on my porch decor, many people tell me it looks so cozy and inviting.I love that, because that is exactly the reaction I want when people see it.

Oh Susan, I don't know about being a poet but I certainly do confess to being a pirate. I have stolen many of your wonderful decorating ideas for my home. I get so excited when the notification bell rings on a Sunday afternoon to see what delight you will be bringing into my life that day and I am never disappointed. It is a rainy day here in Auckland New Zealand but that is in my favor as I decided to go down the imaginary road with this video. I turned on my heater, mind you only the light as it's 16deg here today, (yes it is the same one as yours's, a pirated inspiration) I lite a sweet smelling candle, snuggled up and pretended I was sitting in that beautiful chair of yours beside your heater. As you chatted and looked back over some of your shopping sprees, I sat there reminiscing as I had been on many of them with you. You are such a sweet soul and I am praying that yes you and your best friend will be moving soon into your own little cottage. Yes I do believe in miracles because one happened to me.

I have twinkle lights and plants, and photos of my favorite people strung across one side of the room. Windchimes greet me on two corners of the room; gifts from friends who know me, and love me. In that room, I feel known and loved. I happened across your channel and was drawn to your peacefulness. Contentment is a gift.

I’m wondering if you put a really tall mirror, like floor to ceiling that it might even look like the gallery wall goes on into a longer hallway. I found some beautiful very long mirrors with an ornate frame at Home Goods. I put them behind my night side tables and wow it really made the room look larger as well as reflected some pretty pieces and added a lot of height by my poster bed. 😊🌷👍please do not take this as an insult. I love that you added that mirror but wow, floor to ceiling would be awesome.

New windows, new carpet, a new couch, new lamps, a new end table and it's all coastal themed. Not over the top but color wise. I can't wait! The carpet goes in Wednesday and the couch is here in my garage. It's a LoveSac. I also have some beautiful pieces that were my Mom's. I'm very excited 😊 My other favorite place is my hallway where I have a gallery of family photos and track lighting that shows them off. I'll be doing a wall of that in the family room.

Maybe the #1 tip is the one you've taught us, dear Susan: get as many supplies thrifting as possible! Not only is it less expensive, and organic///good for the environment, it gives you items you're not going to find my waltzing into Target and picking up the Magnolia Home line or Hearth and Hand that every 3d house has! ..... My favorite room in this apartment is the one that told me this has my name on it - having a dedicated library!!!

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. I’ve watched the trees bud their leaves, and watched ice form on their bare branches. I’ve watched Owls, and Bluebirds, and Deer, from that porch, and the little blue tail lizards walking the banisters. I drink my coffee there and write in my journal. It’s kept me sane and given me an escape. I understand your love for your balcony, I understand it completely.

Decorating is the outward appearance of the inner soul, or it should be. The backdrop of a simple beige wall becomes the bountiful color of Autumn with artwork, pillows and a scented candle. You have vision and the ability to make a concept come alive. One year and growing. ❤️

My favorite place in my house is a clean and straightened up one. Living with a 5 yr old granddaughter one can only imagine the never ending messes little artists love to make, or barbie doll clothes strung all over the house. Toys dropped here and there and everywhere. So when she and I clean it up and get it straightened, that is my favorite place to be. Another tip would be mirrors for a small home. Light furniture helps a room feel bigger, and yes a glass table is perfect to keep a small space feeling open and not heavy. lighting brings life into a home and you are so right about that. Have a blessed week Susan n Desi!

So nice to see your apartment and how you are settled in with Desi. I live alone since my husband died in 2014 and I got my little bundle of joy after I stop working in 2017. A wheaten Cairn terrier named Otis Ray.. I named him after Otis Ray Redding😍 He is going to be five years old in January and every time I see a picture of Desi sleeping on your bed it reminds me of Otis because that’s where he sleeps.. I love your videos, I too picked the decade.. I decorate between the 40s and 50s..my favorite era.. you are so warm and refreshing you’re like a comfortable friend that I have known forever. May the Lord put a hedge of protection around you and Desi.. have a blessed night and thank you for being here for us..loves and hugs from me and Otis from Massachusetts❌⭕️❌⭕️

I have kept some items that were my mother’s bc l want to retain her memories, but her taste in art is not our taste at all. We are going to go to a lot of the art shows that we have around us this winter to look for new paintings . Maybe your area has art shows too.

They are laser cut and the lettering is very sharp! I live in a 1919 bungalow...the home I grew up in, six rooms and a full basement! I will be here for the rest of my days! The place is my "time machine" furnished in the 1920-1950 era. Your apartment is very neat, warm and creative. We have to live with items we enjoy...reflecting our inner spirit! My closet is of a "little ol' man" tastes! My basement workshop is my "sanctuary"! I'm a "tinkerer", restorer of vintage radios, Victrolas and furniture. Today, just added another frog to my collection...he is a "Santa Sprogz Frog"! Plants, well, I'm not a plant man...have a couple of artificial ones...no water or fussing over them...just dust them!

I love watching you Susan because we have so much in common. We are both older, I am 72, we have adorable little dogs, and we love shopping at thrift stores and decorating on a budget!! I look around my place and it so thoroughly screams my name! I lean toward elegance and my home is very elegant. When people come over (I live in a senior community) and see my place, they just oooh and ahhhh and wonder how they can make theirs look better. I love helping them, it brings me pure joy!!

You have such a kind heart. You are beautiful. And yes! if you love your home, you feel happy and safe then that's what matters. The size of the place doesn't really matter when you have peace where you're at. Last year I left, as a matter of fact I sneaked out from a beautiful home, with a beautiful backyard, but guess what? I wasn't happy, I didn't have peace and I was not safe. I know live in a very tiny, one bedroom basement apartment in Queens, NY, BUT! I'm happy there, I'm safe and I sleep in peace and that's all that matters to me. You can't do much in a basement apartment, but I made it my own and I love it here. Maybe someday I'll be able to get a bigger place and yes! I would love a balcony, large or small. :) Hugs to you.

But I think you have a gift for it, I'm not sure I do. Like you I love my home. My husband sometimes mentions if I had to downsize I wouldn't be happy, but I don't agree, I think whatever my space as long as I could make it my own with my own touches. I love decor, and pieces with a story. People seem to enjoy a tour but for me it's my home, I would have it this way for just my husband and myself. God bless you and Desi, I always look so forward to your videos. You'll laugh but I try to save them so I can watch them with out any distractions, like a good book, and hate to see the end.

Your home is stunning! I remember when you moved in and I thought it was beautiful. I loved the before and after videos. It was fun to see your progress to the beauty you have now. I just want to crawl through the screen and curl up on your couch and read a book! I feel the way about my home also. I bought my house 6 years ago. I am 52 years old now. Up to 6 years ago, I either lived (after I moved out of my parents at 18) in dorm rooms or apartments so I always had to have white walls. When I purchased my house, I painted every room a different color! My family and friends thought I was nuts, but when it was all complete, they loved it! I agree with the lighting. A soft light is what I enjoy and what I feel makes a home. I love just to sit and enjoy my classical music in my living room and not do anything but be still. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God. Thank you for another wonderful video! May God Bless you!

Susan - your home is rich and textured, and cozy and welcoming. I love artwork on the walls but I'm not as good at keeping plants alive but I always try because they bring so much life to a room. My tip would be using mirrors in every room to bounce the light around and make a room seem more spacious. My esthetic is French Victorian Cottage. I have a two bedroom apt. with a balcony as well. It means everything to have that little private bit of outdoor space to decorate and enjoy. Not all year around, though. I'm the Michigan girl from the Lansing area so I know it can't be year 'round. Again, your home is just lovely, my friend. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭🍁

You certainly have an eye for warmth and beauty. You have turned your home into a beautiful showcase of loveliness. I`m sure each decorative item has it`s own special meaning to you, how could it not. So pretty. I have a built-in showcase filled with many mementos, each one given to me by friends and relatives. One of my daughters-in-law wanted to know if I remembered who had given each gift to me and I was able to name each person who had given me the precious gift. Some of these people have long since passed from this earth, but their gift to me, keeps them alive in my heart and reminds me of the precious moments I was able to share with each of them. It`s now my showcase of special and precious memories.... I always look forward to your videos, because you too , display such a spirit of warmth and beauty. Blessings to you and Desi.

I love to decorate-right now my favorite room is our loft - which is like another living room. We have some old furniture that was my husband’s parents’ (and he’s 74) and some new - it has book cases and old photos, and some of my husbands old toys in it. It’s simple and so cozy and it is decorated with memories. 😊. Be well, and enjoy your sanctuary-your home. Belly rubs for Desi 🍁

I find creating little vignettes with any cherished items is an easy start in claiming your space. Also, lamps are a way to make a room more soothing if you have overhead lighting. Living in dorms for years with harsh overhead lighting gave me the feeling that anywhere you have a lamp instead, that creates a feeling of "Welcome Home".

The size of our homes really doesn't matter. It is the way we feel about our homes. My favorite room is all my rooms. I have loved making them all part of the whole by taking the time to decorate each room as a special room. Not all at one time or a picture perfect room. One that evolved over time. To me they are "timeless", warm, comfortable, and inviting. You made your one bedroom apartment "your own home" and that loving feeling moved with you to your current home. It's not the place, but the love we feel when we are there. Thank you for sharing your home and heart. I look forward to seeing you each and every time. ❤

I have lots of plants in front of two walls of windows, which are looking out at treetops. I feel like I'm in a treehouse surrounded by many of my favorite things inside and out. Perfect for a city girl, who grew up in the country!

"...not much, but it's my home--and it's everything." I just love and appreciate listening to your thoughts.

You are a true inspiratio🌻 My husband left me 2 weeks before my surgery. When I found out that I had 4th stage squamous melanoma cancer I was devastated! It’s taken these past years to rid my home of his belongings and today I packed his art supplies to donate. I feel free for the first time and a sense of being okay! I’ll be 60 in July and your inspiration has given me a new feeling of “Hope” Thank you for your openness, simplicity and honesty 🌸 We are all beautiful and deserve to be happy 🌷🌺💐🌸🌹
