This by far was my favorite Homeworthy ever. I love everything that Sara created. I'd take this home over a mansion anyday. !!!!!!!!!!

[@marionandrews176]

Beautiful space! It’s small in square footage, but so perfectly executed in design that it just feels cozy and intimate.

[@yvonneschermerhorn866]

Even without a tub, it's a perfect apartment!

[@patriciasalem3606]

This is exactly the kind of tour that draws me to Homeworthy. I'd rather see a cute realistic house like this than a fancy mansion any day. It's inspirational but not so far from my lifestyle that I can't get any ideas from it.

[@bettyloveditallgreen8023]

I also am a huge fan of Nancy Meyers and this home has that warm, loved vibe. I enjoyed this beautiful home with so much personality packed into every inch.

[@joannbaumann4028]

It is always a miracle when a small space OR someone on a tight budget makes a home functional, homey and beautiful.How this lovely lady got the pine cabinet for 200 is also a miracle.

[@user-en8im4br5q]

Nancy Meyer sure knows how to bring forward the lived in loved in casual elegance. Sarah Horton is a new guard. I loved this episode. Thanks :)

[@user-ml7dn4rv6j]

Your comment has all the quality of this "lived in loved in elegance". Well said. And, agree, Sarah does it well.

[@claudiamann7111]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. You are so lucky to have that wonderful deck. Love how you decorated everything. Very cozy and comfortable.

[@duffylori]

Charming cottage apartment….well done!!

[@teriwhite4151]

I adore small homes and this one is very special. Thoughtfully done top to bottom, side to side. Thank you for sharing!

[@Bellasand45]

Gorgeous apartment, so cozy and warm. This type of home tours are my favorite !! Small places but beautiful.

[@wahoo4uva]

she did a beautiful job making over this spacious studio apartment. she has a great eye for design!

[@patj4952]

Beautifully done and absolutely perfect for Newport Beach. It's difficult to believe it's only 425 sq ft. Thank you for sharing.

[@karenhudgin8631]

I think you are so sweet and how kind you are to share with us! It’s ok that you love where you live and your love your purchases! You have made a small space look fab!😊

[@esterrivera2281]

Loved her cozy decor with beautiful lighting fixtures. Watching this California home tour made me realize how much I love living at a Southern California beach community. Can’t beat the Mediterranean-like climate and casual lifestyle.

[@jeanrussell8896]

I love your style,as well as the Holly hock pattern ❤ Very sweet cozy space! Thanks for sharing.

[@Kari-of2ub]

Love this one so much!! It's cozy, quaint but elegant, and not too sparse - just the perfect amount of personal treasures and collected pieces. 10/10!

[@kathyestes6577]

Love this! This area of CA is quite expensive and this little place would be highly sought after. I love all the white and natural. The two little umbrellas on the deck area really added a lot of appeal. Thank you!

[@gurkov4e]

I have been waiting for this like a crazy person! ❤😂 My obsession with this heavenly wonderful little apartment is unreal. I have no words to describe the feels this cosy little perfection gives me. I LOVE THIS! I just LOVE IT!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lisanewman7641]

Episodes featuring creative people in small apartments are definitely my top picks.

[@gbear768]

beautifully done! Being a CA native , I can say this is truly a California look, fresh, clean, white, light, love it!

[@dilshaddealwis6543]

Amazing use of a small space. Such a welcoming, happy space. Absolutely love every bit of your stylish and cosy pad.

[@RT-vw6yw]

Beautiful home and location! I would love to see more coastal California homes like this.

[@evie6811]

I love seeing more cozy humble properties! I follow Sarah on tiktok and love seeing spaces like this!

[@melissaferrell7115]

One of the best home worthy’s I’ve seen. Love this style and your personality. Your love for this home is almost palpable!

[@hibridwell]

GORGEOUS! This is a beach loving girl's dream!

[@demetrianicole1657]

This is just beautiful. It looks cozy and inviting. A barn door maybe good to close off your bedroom. 😊

[@morganmizell5288]

I love her tik toks of her place!!! SO excited for this video!!!! A Nancy meyers inspired dream

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

Have a safe and wonderful weekend my homeworthy watching friends💚

[@silvergirl7810]

Perfect beach home! Who wouldn’t want this!

[@kkpenney444]

More of these, please!

[@lorib1600]

This is sooooo pretty! I even love the paint swatches in the bathroom- they look so cute. All the colors are perfect so you may as well just make varying stripes using all the colours.

[@karenstanislaw8912]

LOVE the **light (natural) in Sarah's apartment, the billowy white curtains, the exposed beams on the ceiling, the terrace - all makes for a dynamite, embracing pad. Living in a community you really connect to (rhythms, values, tenor, visuals) adds to Sarah's fortifying and soothing situation. Enjoy, Sarah.

[@violetmartha916]

How does 425 sq ft look like such a mansion!? 😱 Stunning too!! 💘

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Wow it’s so gorgeous ❤❤❤❤

[@deborahwatson1483]

Your skillful use of various storage pieces and their style is quite beautiful. I too am a Nancy Meyer’s interior fan.

[@SMCulture]

Love the Dutch door! My family had a house in Newport and it too had a Dutch door which served as a side entry to guest room. Great memories!

[@arlenekerr1198]

She's a breath of fresh air!! Love her place!

[@marilyn7772]

💗🌷💗 Love the bright white coastal vibe. The hutch, outdoor decor, just everything about this home is beautiful.

[@mysweetestdays]

Such clever styling! The difference between before and after is awe inspiring!

[@RAWNREALFAITHUNLEASHED]

If you put a mirror above the bed you’d be able to make the bedroom feel like it’s opened up more, it’ll also reflect more light. Mirrors are always so great for that. Love the atmosphere and how “breezy” your place seems ❤

[@sandralashley4718]

I'm getting a retro Rachel Ashwell vibe here, it's gorgeous and reminds me of Pam Andersons malibu house tour from cribs several years ago 🙂💗 And that's a compliment! It's beautiful and warm.

[@javicalixto3218]

The surf is calling my name just looking at those views!

[@colortura]

It's nice to see an apartment being featured on this channel. Beautiful Newport Beach apartment.

[@peterjensen1455]

Beautiful. Remarkable transformation. Love the Hutch and Upper Deck. Your home is Eclectic. You appear to be a very special person.

[@jgator6694]

What a nice job she did creating a cozy and well put together nest!

[@santinabrothers]

Such a cozy space. I love it!

[@user-zr8xi4pw9v]

What a charmingly elegant home!

[@shauneilscott]

This space is well done. I like all of it. Though I am a minimalist, your style is beautiful. The small additions make your space unique and the details in your method of aggregating "things" is not so maximalist that I would eschew the space. Everything means something to you and that grandmother swatch is IT!!! I love how sentimental you are about family. The apartment is gorgeous. Reminds me of a hotel.

[@sharongruener6078]

A lovely beach home. Love the deck especially. A lot of personallity . Blessings.

[@Kathleen5429]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you and your beautiful place! Thanks for showing us your jewel box.

[@nataliavalentina2341]

Your place is gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful, thank you for your natural way!! Newport is amazing you are so lucky to have a little piece a heaven in California. The chandelier is simple elegant!!! Small spaces are so in style these days!!! Love it!

[@debrahayes3778]

Lovely, chic and oh so feminine! Newport Beach is also, by far, much nicer than much of Venice Beach. 🎉😍

[@soniatriana9091]

Thank you! It was a pleasure to view this Video!! She’s extremely unpretentious & has such a nice presence!! Very real!!!

[@saradawn9385]

Beautiful space! More small spaces please!

[@gloriaoppen8412]

I love the way you made your tiny home beautiful with your eclectic finds. It must be a special place by the water. I wouldn't mind have dinner on the rooftop with a water view.

[@parisgordon3480]

So cute - I’m in a small cottage - 890 sq feet you can make it chic and heavenly with good planning and storage like you have !! Well done 🤍🤎💜

[@francenekomsa8157]

This beautiful home is perfect for a young woman at the beginning of her life and perfect for a 75 going on 76 year old charming woman who would love this space because it is beautiful, light and thoughtful.

[@tammyhurst6729]

Love it. It is cozy and sophisticated as noted. You seem so happy there. Beautiful space and exquisite taste.

[@heretolearnCA]

Been debating on whether to take the time to hang linen drapes in my apt… this seals the deal :) thank you and your team for highlighting such a stylish range of homes

[@gardenlevel7385]

This apartment is so pleasing. Regarding Ikea, the brand has a genius for great design that streamlines/maximizes small spaces. I thought I would avoid Ikea in my home but in the end found that their pieces play well with others. Older "better" woods, the tight corner, the odd wall -- and they look great.

[@dixielou4002]

Absolutely lovely! I would rather have a small space beautifully decorated than a larger house that isnt! Superb job! I would love all the details on the bedding! It's so beautiful!

[@evam4536]

A very lovely home, with lots of flair. The white decor and natural elements transform the space into a timeless, classic space. 🫶

[@karrien.7649]

Really love the style and small coziness of this tiny beachy apartment. I'd love to live there myself! 😊

[@quit2quilt525]

She absolutely scored on this apartment! And decorated it so well!

[@lisamarielund6292]

Beautiful but I bet the rent is absolutely sky high for 450 square feet of space. Yikes! I also wonder what the parking situation is like. I lived in Newport right after college and there is NO PARKING in that area. I used to ride my bike to the grocery store & forget about holidays & the summer when tourists descend upon NB like ants at a BBQ.

[@rochellelorito7955]

Your darling home reminds me of my little 500 sq ft condo in Sunset Beach CA. I sold it in early 2000s but think about it a lot. I too love the beach and so appreciate seeing your beautiful charming space and what you’ve done with it. It’s really wonderful 🙏❤️

[@user-ib1eq5jr4h]

Absolutely love this, it feels so homey and welcoming. Def looks bigger then it is!

[@lesliewilhelm5319]

Love love love your space!!! I wouldn't change a thing! Great job!

[@Xdnnn544]

Cozy vibes for sure.

[@maurawhelan3530]

Gorgeous! A little blue or green in a coastal space would add some interest, esp in the outdoor area…thank you for sharing!

[@fashionforwarddd]

Such a beautiful cozy and elegant space

[@cd2659]

Super nice place! I love the decor. I don't love a chopped pillow but everything else is fabulous.

[@debrajosephs]

Same feeling about Nancy Meyers.

[@user-gr1wt1iy2u]

She is so full of her self,

[@susanmoorewerner8444]

I love this apartment. It’s perfect. I’m jealous. ❤

[@kakafan77]

What a beautiful transformation and such a cozy little apartment

[@mariarosete3825]

So beautiful......!!! Love the mix!!!

[@carolfinn4027]

What a darling place. I live in Orange and have been to Newport Beach many times. I would need a bathtub too. ☺☺ I' m also renting and admire how you've made your place both charming and practical!

[@user-gx6nv9dr1z]

Well done! The view from the bedroom into the living room is great!

[@onepartwild]

Love Newport Beach! Such a beautiful area. The way you've styled your little apartment is so cute. It's bright, and sophisticated. P.S. Love your heater. I have one just like it. 😆

[@annettedelahunty3899]

Love everything ,especially the deck!!!♥️

[@Michyhauser]

SUPER CUTE AND COZY!!!

[@nonyelmossa4407]

[@neilnh4558]

What a treat being granted a tour of this absolute gem! I love every single thing about it. Thank you so much!

[@Kat-dw5xk]

She is my favorite person to follow on tiktok!!! Love her home so much!!! My dream! Only thing I kept thinking is how much of a pain dusting/cleaning would be with all the knick-knacks LOL but love it all

[@Echolyris212]

Her nightstand setup/ decor came up on my Pinterest and I saved it a while back. As soon as she walked into her bedroom I thought “ I know THAT room!!”

[@user-oz7nw9sq7y]

This is so darling it made me want to live in it.❤❤❤

[@ah8064]

Just stellar. ✨ I appreciate being inspired while creating a personal space.

[@lrogers707]

wow, the design of your place was very cool indeed - also reminiscent of Designer S. McGee...thank you for sharing...

[@mindygresham7301]

So beautiful and serene!

[@brooklynhomesteader3721]

Love it..and thank you for introducing me to Nancy Myers! I always loved the aesthetics of a few movies and drew inspiration from them..now knowing the person responsible for the beautiful aesthetics.

[@peggymurphy6747]

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

You and 1 million other people that have left. I am still here. I still love where I live. Beautiful weather and Mountain View’s.

[@esterrivera2281]

I’m still here too despite the high cost of living!
