Can we all agree that she selling the hell out of that LG TV. Like it's the best thing that happened to her. As a Kdrama lover I love it!❤

[@crazyarie1]

LOL why was I thinking this then scrolled down to see your comment as the first one. Honestly, I am influenced and would love to buy one now.

[@eviepaweenuch2042]

I would love to buy one! Do you know if it comes with the stand?

[@staciii]

Yeah but a lot of other reviews were saying it's not worth the price

[@InTheGlow135]

I’m in the market for a new TV so I’m definitely checking it out!

[@bahmaniaryou]

Aiming to be financially secure is exactly for this reason! Your new home looks very homey Michelle! and wishing my partner and I can have this kind of home one day!

[@terri3696]

I definitely think you should do the entire back splash in that blue tile.

[@privatebrowser2745]

agree its looks awkward with the white... hahaha

[@jenniedeng6192]

totally agreed!

[@Mercedesbenzz8]

I personally prefer the fireplace but I'm happy you got what you prefer in your lovely home ❤

[@anjaglavic6871]

Me too... also the kitchen, it could be much better. As far as she feels good, is OK

[@meowdeez]

I wish she let go of those damn shelves 😭😭you moved into your first home and you gotta let it go! And to get rid of a FIREPLACE for shelves? What if she wants to resell the house in a year

[@babvfans]

@@meowdeez 100%. Stupid decision for some sentimental reasons on some cheap shelves that stayed with her when she lived at all those condos. Thats my guess at least. She's gonna regret it down the road

[@user-rq2zs1sr7h]

Fireplace for sure ❤

[@delviamuharramah2333]

Michelleeeeeee it's been 2 weeks! Werrrrr rrrr uuuu aatttt, i'm waiting for yorrrr nuuu vlog 🫠🫠🫠

YES to extending the blue tiles! They are gorgeous! 🩵

[@SocialChannelStudios]

Michelle, your vlog is like a soothing breeze on a hectic day. Your calm demeanor and genuine enthusiasm for even the smallest things are truly inspiring. Keep shining bright, because your authenticity is what makes your content so special!

[@poppycalliope]

What a beautiful moment in your life Michelle! Creating a cozy environment for your new home ✨️ you're a big example that hard work pays off. I'm very happy for you ❤

[@rewatithapa1089]

I am glad that Dobby got outdoor place to play ❤

[@zoub1347]

Hey Michelle you can add black out window film or frosted film on your kitchen window and washroom window. So you can have your curtains apart during the day but have privacy. Just make sure to close the curtains after sunset.

[@alilyscha425]

Like the original fireplace way better (cozier without that cold industrial feel reminiscent of your old place), though the new tile backsplash is great. 👍

[@queenie2668]

I agree. Even there's no intention to be used as heating source but still cosy to look. It adds so much more character than a white wall and cheap shelves.

[@penguinswithwifi]

@@queenie2668Exactly. Tbh, those shelves look very cheap & tacky in such a nice, upscale home.

[@WhatMomThinks]

​@@penguinswithwifiThank goodness you don't need to live there.

[@azonazonossagmuveszete4232]

It is so incredible to see you achieve your goals! I know that there is a lot of hardship and setbacks on the road, and that you don't have a perfect life, but it is still SO GOOD to see you actually achieve, what you dream about! You said in your past videos, that you are working towards having your own house, and HERE YOU ARE, owning a house! 😍

[@nottkei]

I really appreciate your weekly vlogs, Michelle! I look forward to them every week 🥹🤍

A new era beginsss ! Keep taking care of yourself Mich🤍☁,love you

[@ameliaamanda7480]

Having your video played when I'm having my breakfast, feels like I'm being accompany, love you M. ❤️

[@anniebehrend5488]

Absolutely stunning! You are killing it with these renovations. Agreed, I think the blue all the way around the kitchen would look amazing.

[@olivejooce]

I thought the original fireplace was more cozy and I must admit that it hurt my heart a little when they removed the gorgeous wall molding from the room. It adds so much character to the home. Alas, it's Michele's home and all that matters is that she loves it. Wishing you many years of happiness in your new home! ❤🏡

[@bettylee234]

Exactly 💯 agree that it was a BIG mistake to the fireplace

[@penguinswithwifi]

Same! It honestly hurt my heart a little 😢, though of course it is important she is happy with her own home. I think she is used to a very basic, utilitarian homestyle. But geez that fireplace and the moulding was so perfect and fit the overall tone of her gorgeously designed house.

[@honey__lemoonn1814]

It’s so much money for to occupy a chimney

[@olivejooce]

​@@penguinswithwifi I loved the original mid-century tile backsplash that was behind the stove. It matched the kitchen so well with the gold cabinet pulls. She hung black curtain rods so maybe she's going to get rid of all the gold handles too? I think she prefers a more modern aesthetic. 🤷‍♀

[@kellykiskotagan]

I definitely agree lol I see the vision but dang not remove the whole fireplace 😩

[@Solidarity9899]

Fire place was giving cozy vibes but it’s all about what you want so it fair enough. Bless you gulrr

[@mrsmitchell27]

Wow, I really like the way it looks (living room shelves). The tiles above the stove really brings out the kitchen.

[@miranalai]

I am definitely in love with your new home ❤ and It's so heartwarming to see you happy 🎉 cant' wait to see more of this

[@tsavikalishohe2712]

Michelle and her choices are the best honestly the blue ones are so gorgeous 🥹🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@melonalove1]

The fireplace gave it so much character 🥲 love the blue tile

[@lenna2133]

it depends on the concept and user preferences. There's hardly fireplaces in asian households and this hits more closer to cozy and home for her :)

[@mochidiary]

This is really my safe haven.. It comforts me everytime i watch.

[@PriscillaSB]

Editing my own video but stopped immediately when I saw your notification! Love how your home is coming along!!! 🤍 can’t wait for more homebody vlogs

[@KellyX_82]

Our BEAUTIFUL, KIND, SWEET Michelle is back!!! Time to relax and enjoy your video!!! 🥰

[@mishraaishwaryah6978]

It doesn’t matter what looks better or whatever. You make your home basis what you are ..and that shelf is more you Michelle. And honestly, even I find that more aesthetic instead of that fake fireplace. Much love from India ❤️

[@Dxjah]

I feel like a parent watching her grow for so long 🥹❤️ biggest fan 🎉

[@shundiaries]

So happy for your new home and i love how you renovated your fireplace to the very real your vibe hehhehehhee. love you meesh❤

[@hiraimomo6065]

Watching this while eating gelato outside, you add alot of relaxation to my already chill day, love michelle❤

[@axllj]

your new place is amazing, it’s so soothing to see you grow over the years, i still remember you from 2019 and it makes me nostalgic a little bit 🥹 i’m so happy for you 🩷🩷🩷

[@lara1622]

Michelle i love how you still love your culture, you watch korean dramas , you listen to korean songs as well you eat korean food after living in the US for about 10 years and you haven't had a culture shock i respect both American and Korean cultures but keeping the one you have been brought up with is admirable .

[@Rhianu]

She was born in the States lol

[@kellieg2179]

Congratulations on your new home and new chapter of your life 🎉🎉❤

[@anjaliparekh9661]

I genuinely love this house version of Michelle - apartment Michelle was great, but house Michelle is even better🤩 Also, plz extend that backsplash across your entire kitchen, it looks so pretty

[@LinaChoi]

I'm literally in love with the new backslash it looks really nice for sure!!

[@noveraangellina]

Having a perfect morning coffee with your video as company, thanks love ❤

[@amytan7081]

love your new home! do what makes you happy and comfortable...looking forward to watching your many vlogs to come

[@sphens.t]

Starting the day with Michelle❤

[@michellewylam]

The fireplace and wall mouldings are nice. Typical for a Victorian, English styled home with a manor/countryside feel but Michelle’s aesthetic is much more mid century modern, she’s got the midcentury designer poulsen lamp and her chairs are reminiscent of the Hansen chairs too so I understand why she’d get rid of the mouldings and fireplace.

[@prunenothere]

Michelle is always the one getting my appetite back, thank youuu

[@luisrodrigues4003]

My life feels better when Michelle uploads😭❤🎉

[@Kohiicha]

Queen Michelle has graced us yet again with her iconic therapeutic vlogs ✨

[@waggermama]

Ha! I have blackout curtains AND blinds! As I get older/old, sleep is SO important. The backsplash is Perfect

[@tvrotsyourbrain09]

I love that you knew you weren't going to use the fireplace and got rid of it. We have one in our apartment and we don't use it because we live in the desert! 😂 love the changes you made. The blue backslash looks like moving water. 💙

[@amiraamr6052]

So much love for you Meesh! ❤❤❤

[@sadhanainbavannan1951]

The shelves look SOOOO GOOD the fireplace molding was grey and so dull and old but I loveeee what you did with the shelves, so smart!

[@judithbutler9695]

I absolutely love what you have done! You rock at everything ❤

[@Mika-yr9db]

As a university student, I found great comfort and happiness in watching Michelle's Living Alone series, so it's a sad moment that it's now over. Positively speaking, though, I am overjoyed that she has found a partner to live with. Her accomplishments thus far make me extremely happy and proud. She is certainly deserving of that.

[@xbbeckkx7618]

I feel so alive from watching your vlogs ❤

Loveeee how the backsplash turned out! 😊

[@akansharani-bv6yz]

We missed you Michelle 💗

[@mariamerino4345]

Looks soo much better without the fireplace.

[@RealOGLG]

You SHOULD do the entire backsplash that blue colour. I think it'll look better. Looks slightly unfinished in my humble opinion. Congratulations on your new home

[@penguinswithwifi]

Agreed. A partial backslash can work if the paint color of the kitchen wall ties in nicely with the backsplash tiles. In this case the wall is white so the backsplash is too noticeable and doesn’t blend in nicely with the rest of the wall.

[@user-nl1lk5rk7z]

Wow your new home looks amazing and functional ❤

[@simplyellenxo95]

Really love the short form content Michelle 💜 2:10 also, I could only imagine what the actual reality of a KZbinr is especially trying to get those angles and clips in😊
