Homebody Diaries | bedroom setup & adjusting to a quiet life away from the city

[@janelte]

Few decisions are irrevocable except having kids, so I would try to be in the moment and appreciate the lovely space you are in, and your relationship, and see where life takes you. There are a million cities you could move to and friends you could make if you decide to change direction. Your 20s are years where there are still so many open-ended possibilities and directions you can take, so soak in that fabulous tub (I am envious) and make the most of this particular choice knowing it doesn't have to be a permanent one. Thanks for the video.

[@imericwang]

totally agree :) thank you for that!

[@juliette4570]

I feel like you shouldn't pressure yourself about your age! Your youth does not end when you're entering your thirties or forties, even if its kind of a social thing unfortunately. Your decision of living far from the city has it's own meaning to you and your partner, so enjoy this particular fragment of your life :) I understand that it's a big change for you both and it's so easy to start doubting your choices, but you shouldn't compare your life with everyone else's. Enjoy the quiet, the peace, the nature and learn something from it! You don't know where you'll be in five years and that's the beauty of life! Love your videos and your new journey!!

[@imericwang]

Much love!! ❤

[@AMPurdy]

That trash can fit was so satisfying!

[@Maaaryl0u]

it's crazy how this house seems to be made for you, it matches your style perfectly

[@harleeyork7698]

Love the room! One suggestion, using the room divider as a “headboard” would be a good way to center the bed while adding that texture! Just a suggestion! 😊

[@imericwang]

im going to add a shelf above the bed!

[@mandugirl6409]

i feel like busy city-life can be romanticized and glamorized, when in reality it's possible to feel just as isolated in a big city as in a more remote area. i moved from a big city to a smaller city 3 years ago because i knew i needed to live somewhere more peaceful and slower paced. i sometimes felt fomo, but really i knew that my soul needed the change. now i'm actually about to move back to the big city and i feel like i leveled up and grew enough to be excited for city life again. it makes so much sense you're feeling all these doubts and fears around this life change, but it helps me to remember that nothing is permanent! two years in such a beautiful space will fly by. also, i love your space and aesthetic so much, it brings me peace to watch you fill your new home and it excites me to think about that chapter in my life when i'll be done with apartment living, haha!

[@emmyw1]

what a beautiful home... wowza

[@klaire74]

The serenity of this house is amazing - you have your own resort at your steps. Like with every big change comes some fear, but it will go with the passing of time. You will find you pace, and a way to do things, especially because of this new perspective of life. You two are not too young for changes and not old for new experiences. Is just a state of mind, is a reflection of the energy you put in. And is cat approved, what you want more?😻😸😻

[@krptnexe]

bro this house is exactly my style, i would love to be in your position one day thanks for the great videos !

[@dianebaker5243]

The rug looks really lovely in your bedroom.wishing you lot's of happiness in your new home.🥰🥰

[@brendasnow8255]

We moved into our first house right when we turned 30. We had kids; we were 26 and 28 when they were born, which was considered “old.” Even getting married at 23 was old then. Thirty is actually so young! I love how you’re furnishing and accessorizing the house.

[@illegitiminoncarborundum1323]

That home is everything

[@karinaanaya6758]

Also to add on the other part of the video, I wouldn’t think to hard about missing the city. Think about it as a two year break, where you are just trying something new to see which one you like more. At the end of the two years you will have both experiences to compare. Then you can decide which one would work better going forward for both you and your girlfriend. At the begging of this year I turned 30, and I thought my best years were in my 20s so I was very afraid with the big 30 but honestly you live and you learn and I’m learning that I thought I knew a lot back in my 20s but I’m truly discovering myself now. Sorry for the long comment 😊

[@alexisvelasquez9439]

so your adulting haha love this! you got this! you both have each other to navigate these things. also its best not to concentrate on the what ifs and if you'll think you'll regret something later in the future probably don't do that, all things happen for a reason and 99% of those things are good, if we get hung on the 1% of bad in our lives, past and future it will be dark, sad and filled with regret. good or bad be happy where its got you! we will all mess up in life...that's LIFE! but the difference is how we turn out in the end, that my friend is a choice solely up to you. I have followed for awhile now and i see that you think A LOT but to much of anything is not good friend. i support you both and i hope life keeps getting more exciting! also take inspo from others! or go on a spontaneous trip, learn a hobby and take us along or become a cook haha WHATEVER comes to heart! in the end the people that support and follow you will make that happen. YOU GOT THIS!

[@imericwang]

thank you!!!

[@marcarusaviles9020]

such a lovely house! I am 32 years old and I have a more quieter or tranquil life than other people on my age, and I think sometimes the same as you. But at the end, I am pretty happy with the life I have, and that's the point☺

[@karinaanaya6758]

The vibe of the house is so relaxing, also you’re doing a great job with all the spaces. Would you be able to share the details on the trash bins? Thank you

[@Kutkutin]

I think you made the right decision/move. Your youth will not be wasted as you are living a quiet life away from the city which you can visit anytime you want.

[@BabyMinii]

Out of curiosity. Where do your gfs items go? Or does she have her own space for her things and nick nacks ?

[@imericwang]

she just graduated so she doesn't really have much hahaha but some of her nick nacks are in our office space which we are sharing!

[@blairbrujita]

Love to see how someone sets up a space, thank you!

[@ying5710]

Hey Eric! Love your videos! I'm in the process of looking for curtain rods and I really like the one you have in your bedroom. May I ask where you purchased the curtain rod and hardware?

[@chrissiepops]

Omg! Where did you get that wooden slat divider that you put against the wall? I definitely need one of those!

[@afterglowisle]

It’s been refreshing to see new changes happening and although it can almost seem like your unsure of what’s going on, the best advise I’ve ever received is to take it one day at a time. You have a purpose for being there and whether you know it or not, it’ll be something you’ll always look back and appreciate you did. Wishing the best for you both during this new adventure!

[@rosgualev3925]

Congratulations!!!! You'll miss the city for sure, but you made a wonderful choice. Your house and the surroundings are beautiful and eventually, you won't regret it. Living a less stressful and much more healthier life has no comparison!!! 👍👍👍

[@Aurora0rora]

My partner and I will be moving into a new home soon! Do you have a discount code to use at simple human? I would love to get the same soap dispenser and bathroom bins.

[@b2ksflyhoney]

Can you share where you got your room divider?

[@frederikvoerts]

Hi Eric, where did you get that bamboo room divider from? How found similar options online, but all of them have a fabric backside. So just wanted to ask. Love your style, and I hope you have a great day!

[@SirMopy]

i‘m searching like crazy too…. did you find something?

[@sabaanas5377]

Amazing video!! Decorated beautifully. What is the paint color of the living room wall?

[@aleahscottage]

Friendly reminder DONT FEED THE SQUIRRELS OR ANY WILDLIFE. They become too friendly and reliant, and quite frankly obnoxious to the point of unsafe and needing to be... gotten rid of. Don't do it pleaseeeeeee :)

[@jaypeeperez2849]

Love your aesthetic so much! Where do you get that rug?

[@Alex-wk1jv]

Where did you get the nightstand on the right? I love it.

[@GauthamVipin-ee9on]

love your videos bro

[@SEYMOREOUTDOORS]

Where’s the room divider from?

[@benwaechterm]

Love the bedding ! Where did ya get it ??

[@ChillStudyDate]

yo eric, idk if you would share this info but, whats the average retention % and CTR like on your videos, like how many actualy watch towards the end, Ima youtube myself and want to see what avg retention youtubers are getting.

[@Bungshyboy13]

This the life i want to live as an adult

[@coupeoutthelot]

love these videos and love your vibe. the way you live and talk and exists makes me excited to grow in mine! thanks and keep up the good work :)

[@imericwang]

thank you! so happy to hear that

[@brendasnow8255]

I love the room. I’m old, have a houseful of furniture, but I’m looking for a new space. I’ll bring very little with me.

[@rabbitsandphilodendron]

i love your house so much! can i give one suggestion though (feel free to ignore it): a lot of the house so far is very monotone, the only pop of color being usually plants. have you considered adding little items with saturated colors (aka as in "the unexpected red theory" or the likes)? like the little round window in the kitchen door with that red frame which looks really awesome and is super memorable because of its color which stands out... with all those wood tones and whites in the new apartment i feel like this could really make your place be really (chefs kiss), if you know what i mean.

[@AnthonyStromDesign]

I've been contemplating getting the thuma bed frame. It's so minimalist. How do you like yours?

[@jasmin1773]

You're living my dream😍.. I totally want a home where there is a veranda, a river, where I can sit and do my meditation😍. It looks really peaceful😊!

[@maggie3649]

I am so amazed by your house and the vibe of the quiet nature around it🥰 so clam! I personally would put a bigger rug under the bed. that way both sides can have a rug under their feet if they get out of bed. also the current rug seems kind off busy which isn’t the ideal vibe to have in a bedroom (Feng Shui and stuff… hahaha) it’s just my opinion, nonetheless the room is beautifully decorated:D enjoy every day in it’s new glory✨ there is nothing one can miss out on except their own contentment!

[@purplehazee90]

Aww, poor squirrel 🐿 😢

[@RedeemedThruHisWord]

Quick question where’d you get the bedside table storage holder? It looks neat and clean

[@thallesribeiromorais]

hey eric!!! don't use embedded subtitles, please put them on youTube, so non-english speakers can translate them!!!

[@andiepereyra6249]

Ahhh! i love your content and style can’t wait to see more 🙂‍↔️ where did you get your bed frame ??

[@di4085]

I couldn't quite make out what you said some wild animal that you had been feeding. What was it?

[@louislouislouislouisssss]

May I ask where that laundry hamper is from?

[@imericwang]

all of the bathroom additions are from simplehuman :)

[@mittiecollins1510]

Do wish you had matching nightstands with 2 wall mounted wall lights above them?

[@yourconnection9303]

Just watching, you can feel the great vibes! Thanks for your great content! Nice that you include your 🐈 too.👌

[@SweetChariotOfFire]

I gotta know where you got some of these things. Do you have links or point me in the right direction?

[@spiffy7832]

I,I....me, me....very seldom "we". Sharing a bedroom is a "we" thing not a "my" thing. Just saying......

[@plantmanp]

Where’s the room divider from??? Looks so dope!

[@Shakirzikry1013]

Damn, your house is nice. Must've been expensive

[@tongoso]

Any chance to add links for the stuff featured on these videos? it looks so good

[@sk3097]

Love the life update. Which city is this? Seems so peaceful.

[@hannahcox1920]

This looks so cozy! The room divider could also be a cool headboard for the bed at some point :)

[@gk6062]

Don't hang anything bro. It looks nice and clean this way. It's not a high ceiling room

[@tammyhorrigan]

Absolutely love this!! Eventually, if you manage to raise your curtains up, so it touches the timber, it will draw your eyes up and make it more luxe too. Such a beautiful space though.

[@shreksoffspring]

the first section being named kitchen setup when its the bedroom is oddly funny

[@SaiiTube]

The bedroom turned out great! I don‘t know if you‘ve already said where the carpet is from, but could you share this, please? 🙏🏼

[@imericwang]

thank you! it's from Mush Studios

[@964964limkyung]

question? do you own it home or rent it? it's very nice home

[@akinehayawaka]

also how the hell r u making this amount of money

[@Ayush-cn1nx]

You have great taste in choosing furniture❤

[@krio.]

What is that room divider please?

[@howland95]

Where did you get the bed frame?

[@akinehayawaka]

where the hell is this

[@avelinarivero3683]

Where is the divider from? 😭😭

[@barbarashirland9078]

I really like what you have done with your bedroom.

[@TrintleJr64]

Move to nyc!

[@Kevin_Newin]

your eye for colors brings so much comfort to your videos

[@kennethyeung9407]

Not sure if its a typo, but the first section is captioned 'kitchen setup!'

[@imericwang]

ahhh i think a glitch with KZbin! those were the time stamps in my previous video

[@imericwang]

should be fixed now!

[@smoke0783]

love you eric. thank you for this video!

[@imericwang]

[@ginay4878]

Why is your house so extra❤️❤️

[@caramimi]

You guys have a beautiful, calming space. I lived in SF for 15+ years, but needed a break from city life. I get the FOMO but you will be happy to have space to live and create. A suggestion if I may: move the plants in your bedroom off the built-in shelves and place in your bathroom. Your primary bath is just asking to be made into a plant jungle oasis.

[@imericwang]

WOW i dont know why i didnt think of adding plants into the bathroom i'm definitely going to do that! thank you for the suggestion!!

[@spencerthom4125]

Hey bro, I love your content and your house haha. I just thought I'd tell you how I get peace through big decisions and things like that. I know you may not be religious but either way I recon it's really beneficial to read the bible at some point in your day just to see what it says because it's got tips for so many things haha. And maybe after a while you may decide to make the choice to fully believe in God and then you'll have an unbeatable peace lol. Just thought I'd share how I get my peace haha:))

[@mittiecollins1510]

Please please please use a mattress pad cover!
