Claudia has been my best friend since 4th grade! She has always been this lovely and sweet. So intentional and so thoughtful- a true gem. I also love seeing my grandmas fabric as curtains!! ❤

[@loridamico3368]

You two have a lifelong friendship, a true blessing! Your Grandma's fabric was such a sweet gift for Claudia!💕

[@INVR4GET]

Hi Marina. Looking for Claudia’s KZbin channel but not successful. Please let us know how to find her.

[@ivaneteroark710]

Please ask her where her beautiful dress is from? Thanks

[@susannefitzpatrick9955]

There's nothing nicer than to see someone retain their family history (or in her case, the family history of someone close to her) in their home - a wooden spoon that grandma used for baking; a clock that's never worked but used to sit in her Aunt's bedroom; a lamp from a childhood friend who moved abroad. All these things make for a home that's full of personality and memories and not just generic artefacts bought from your local home goods store. Nice of you to give the fabric away to such a close friend.

[@ac1646]

I always love it when a friend of the host pops up! 😊😊😍😍

[@pauljorgensen6608]

Unassuming, self aware, delightful. I could happily live next door to this lovely woman. Gorgeous home.

[@sandybartlett7828]

You have completely made your apartment yours! Love your style 😊

[@krhode5185]

I love these episodes with down-to-earth people of modest means. Seems much more homey and genuine.

[@plaidchucks]

She’s down to earth and lovely, but I really don’t think she’s of modest means with all of the traveling she does. And some of the items she has are quite expensive. No hate at all, her apartment is lovely!

[@user-os7om7ef9k]

No matter where this woman lives it will always be exceptional. That apartment could not be any nicer or cozier. She has excellent taste with no pretense. Wish that all her dreams always come true.

[@annanorth7997]

I waited 15 years for a home in my dream neighborhood. We bought a fixer upper 20 years ago and I cherish living here. When it's right, it's right.

[@user-qp6qx8ss2c]

What a lovely home and a lovely person. I’m so happy she’s found this charming studio apartment. She’s filled it with a joyful ambiance.

[@sandralashley4718]

I have a feeling that her time in this apartment will live on in her memories for a lifetime. Very special. Love it.

[@shonabeggs4640]

I didn't want this tour to end. What a charming apartment and such a lovely young lady. Stanley is super cute and very much loved, too.

[@margosnyder5311]

I really like this young lady. She seems so happy with her wonderful apartment, and she is thrilled with all the special things she has collected, thrifted, and crafted. She has a great sense of humor, too.

[@nancybetz4567]

I love love love this adorable, cozy & warm apartment! I’m a 68 yr young woman living in my apartment in Vermont in a building that was built in 1835. Claudia, I wish we were neighbors! Gorgeous art work, cool pottery and beautiful furniture! Thanks for the sweet tour...what a gem!

[@emmyandboo]

Omg I'm looking for a place in Vermont! It's tough finding a cute little studio like hers! I love her cozy, sweet style as well. ❤

[@belkisrosario9951]

That apartment has received its long awaited soulmate! You said you were blessed to find it, but that apartment is also blessed to have you! You have given it the charm it so much needed. You have a great eye for finding so many lovely authentic pieces. Well done❤

[@hillcountrycottage]

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour…..this is such a gorgeous and warm home!!! Claudia has beautiful taste and her home reflects her style perfectly. It really proves that you don’t need a big space to live luxuriously. 💕💃🏡🌷

[@kathyesargent9088]

Love it❤❤❤

[@carolynratliff1380]

Love love her place…I really worry about her candles with her cat…..

[@lisagorman2480]

Are you kidding me with that NYC kitchen?? This woman is a GENIUS. What an incredible host. Loved every minute of this.

[@ginnyyount9127]

This delightful young renter has a wonderful sense of design...quite clever in her warm mix of collected items with family treasures. Love how she repeats checks, block prints, and stripes. She's got it!!!

[@user-rl7dk2jo1d]

She seems so sweet and really enjoys her home. Very well done.

[@Kari-of2ub]

I am in love!!! Like envisioning myself, a married woman with 2 kids in CA, dropping everything and living in a studio like this in NYC 😍

[@Mtb777]

I wish I had the nerve to drop everything also and move into a beautiful place like this. My dream. Cozy and gorgeous place ❤

[@bhogan4694]

Authentic person…refreshing

[@user-ml7dn4rv6j]

From one NYC studio rent stabilized renter to another; I love my small space full of wonderful things, mainly books and do not desire a single additional square foot. Aren't we lucky. Great job, Claudia, such an appreciation for your talents.

[@dkalisd]

Her style is soooooo beautiful and classy yet eclectic.

[@kathyestes6577]

It wasn’t totally luck, she worked hard and thought outside the box to find this great apartment. I love small spaces and this one is just perfect.

[@Hereforthecommentsection]

Wow. I love her living space, and she and her personality are very authentic and beautiful too. ❤

[@goldnron]

Charming all the way around, agree you truly created an urban cottage that feels cozy and very English. My wife and I enjoyed all you and your friend's fabric DIY. We especially loved how you complimented your decor with your lovely summer dress, my wife enjoys dressing in fabrics that compliment our Sepia decor:)! Thank you for sharing your magical Brooklyn home with us!

[@VeiledDancer]

Such a beautiful apartment ❤ She is so sweet and has put a lot of love into her space, I hope she forever has a lovely life 😊

[@Morenita570]

Cute night gown she’s wearing, my mother would love. But less talking and more apartment viewing. Love the apartment.

[@8gagee]

I call that color green ..... 40's green. It reminds me of the soft pretty colors and patterns of the fabrics in the 40's.

[@lonenugget4301]

What a lovely person. I really like how much care she has put into her space. Wonderful to have such a talented friend make her shower curtain and light! Stanley is a lucky cat!

[@tiC12668]

I love to see young ppl with litmited budget but create the most beautiful home!

[@barbaradobson9298]

Best video in sooo long. Claudia is real and so easy to like. Her home is so warm & inviting. Love how she has carefully collected and curated her home. Because of this it’s not just an apartment… it’s truly a home. And who would not want Claudia as their friend… she’s creative, witty, smart & just delightful. I want to see more of her work.

[@noreenalexander3836]

I love the country feel she created in her city apartment, especially the cute floral shower curtain - a great idea!

[@silvergirl7810]

Love that she treasures older things- what a sweet soul- love the cat! 🐈

[@vllukens7265]

Absolutely lovely and simple yet so full of character. Warm and cosy and gentle palette Those entry doors, the mirror and ceiling height - amazing! Tres bijoux.

[@phyllistisler3293]

I am just, to use an English word, gobsmacked how gorgeous this interior is and that mirror, kitchen, shutters are everything. Those front doors look like they could open to a cathedral.

[@gardenhappy4]

Claudia made a wonderful, warm, unique, and cozy place to hang her hat. Well done. It was meant for you!

[@annsmith7207]

Well thought out design. Would like to offer a suggestion: Consider dimmers for your overhead lighting. It will create moods that are very soothing and will add a new dimension to your rooms. I have them in every room and it makes a huge difference ! I hope you enjoy your home for years to come ! Cheers!

[@carissafisher7514]

Thank you for listening, and giving us someone who is relatable!!! I am one person who calls my cat their actual name, so she can know that there are some of us out there ❤

[@sharronmerritt8733]

A lovely young lady. I enjoyed her enthusiasm for her cozy charming apartment. It’s nice to see people who like the slower lane in life.

[@rlatimer10]

This girl has excellent taste. Her choices have created a memorable perfect little gem of an apartment, well done! Thank you for sharing.

[@kathykeener3523]

I am 72 and have never lived anywhere but Knoxville, Tn. It’s great to see what other places are like. Thanks for sharing.

[@jenniferwolf545]

Love your cat Stanley ! You have made your home really personal and cosy , and you are such a lovely person 🙏🌸

[@dissidentfairy4264]

What a wonderful studio. I love the architectural details and her design choices are very complimentary to the entire look. I loved the way her dress fabric matched the terra- cotta pitcher, it was such a cute detail, and let's not forget Stanley. He is adorable. 😻

[@oliviacasino8888]

Claudia, Claudia you are a sample of God’s creative genius! So, so delightful to sit in on your life and world. Thank you for the sharing. PS those earrings are to die for! An elder lady in California who delights in seeing good taste on modest budgets. Wishing you continued well being.

[@joannejohnson7006]

This talented woman did a lovely presentation of showing us the place that she so loves. Thank you and your kitty is beautiful 🤩

[@shirleyprescott1528]

It is absolutely Perfect! So glad you did NOT paint the kitchen cabinets.! It is so cozy and special! I just love it!

[@georgina1921]

So sad this tour was over so quickly. Claudia is such a lovely young woman. She makes you want to just sit and have tea with her and her adorable cat, Stanley in her beautifully curated apartment. I would love to find out if she has a KZbin channel.

[@rajarajeshwarimahitha1449]

Gorgeous, so warm, cozy and well put together. Cannot believe its just 400sqft. Perfect

[@ModernChristianChick]

This was one of my absolute favorite home tours I've ever watched. Authentically beautiful space and delightful young woman. Brava!

[@londondaze]

Absolutely delightful. Charming is the word I would use to describe Claudia's little home -- and Claudia. She has made her world an absolute reflection of herself and yes, it was meant to be. 💖

[@donnacarpenter173]

I love her artwork. Stanleyaddsa cozy dimension. Also good for her, using cloth napkins. Just wonderful!

[@dld3365]

What a sweet soul. My daughter lives in NYC & had several studio apartments that were always so cozy. It’s a NY thing, right. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Nice apartment. For me, a studio would never be ideal, but I enjoy the way people make the most of the space they have. This one looks quite spacious. Thank you for the video!

[@creationslandscapedesigns]

I live in a 424 square foot condo with a 100 square foot garden in S. California and love it. I love watching other small space tours.

[@claudiamann7111]

That pier mirror is fantastic. How wonderful that nobody took it out. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Love all your collections.

[@lisagutierrez1955]

First small home tour that I couldn't get enough of. I just love how she has chosen every item in her home with such sweet sentiment attached. That truly resonated with me as I feel the same about my things. Each item in my tiny home has a purpose but also a story. Ty Homeworthy for sharing this lovely woman's curated home. It was a pleasure!😍

[@Gabrielle499]

Omg 😍 can you hear me screaming? Everything is SO beautiful !!! I live in a studio and haven’t been able to get past the college dorm vibes. 😣 I am going to incorporate so many of your stunning ideas. What I love most is that you have all your “ fave things” but it doesn’t look cluttered at all. Absolutely gorgeous & cozy & personal. 👏👏🥰

[@vikkienos6807]

Charming.

[@abbaschild2499]

This was the most charming tour I've seen in some time. Such a lovely match of occupant and living space. Nicely done.

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

Absolutely LOVE her Apartment!!! 💚💚💚💚. Her Style is very similar to mine and I too live in a 400 sq ft Studio Apartment!! Her and I would become instant Friends!! 🤗 Great job!! 🙂

[@Carla-hz9sz]

What a beautiful place! You have done such a stunning job in unifying the space. It has such a big feel. Such beautiful touches with art, books, pitchers, flowers and especially lighting - like a Vermeer painting. I see the old world charm of your travels embodied here.

[@dawnsullivan7325]

your home is AMAZING!!!! I love hearing how you obtained it and all the history behind ea. piece!!! I agree with you...I would never leave!!! ps you and ur cat r adorable too!!! thks 4 sharing!!!

[@boosadie9]

I have seen many people living in mcmansions who wonder why their homes don't feel warm and cozy. To me, this home has everything you really need. I love everything about this apartment!

[@Grannynan]

I love your apartment! It is so warm and intentional! Your choices have meaning which make your space absolutely charming!

[@602redroses]

I love all of her beautiful touches. Her space is inspiring.

[@gwenmorris113]

I totally enjoyed this video! Claudia is such a beautiful woman who made her studio apartment into a home 😊 I also enjoyed watching because of her warm and authentic personality that is so soothing and peaceful. I also love how she made her apartment a home with beautiful English and antique pieces that I also appreciate 😊 Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Ginamayy]

Her apartment is just a dream! I love the beautiful character! 😍

[@user-np9sm5oh8v]

I think we all need a friend like Shea (sp?) in our lives... Love the shower curtain and chandelier creations! I so appreciate young gals like Claudia, who know themselves and what they want to accomplish in their homes. The woodwork is AMAZING in her apartment. Cozy and lovely, all around.

[@ThriftandSip]

Your home is stunning! People forget that small homes can be beautiful and yours is! It’s so collected and thought out! I love it all especially your kitty! ❤

[@brooksbecker299]

I think I almost lived in this apartment a few years ago! I would not have done it justice the way Claudia has. It's so nice to see young people decorating with antiques.

[@kbs7583]

Beautiful job making the apartment gorgeous. Claudia is so genuine, thoughtful and creative. Stanley is a star!

[@dawnpeterson5172]

This is the most beautiful and cozy apartment. I love how Claudia has carefully curated every square inch of her space.

[@michelledonald1361]

Very much enjoyed this piece. I follow her on Instagram and enjoy her posts but it was fun to see the apartment in this context. I admire how she has treated the decoration of this incredibly beautiful space while simultaneously respecting the architecture. Well done!

[@saraheschweiler4939]

@Homeworthy, love that you chose to feature this sweet young woman, her charming home, & especially, her adorable cat! 🌿💐🌿😊💚😘🌿💐🌿

[@palomageme6560]

I love her home 😍 she has done a perfect job with her tiny home!

[@ms.aineec.beland9684]

Your home is lovely, congrats on existing living and perhaps thriving in the Big Apple!

[@anilahahamed3927]

I 'm in love with all the brown furniture. Nowadays people choose all white furniture. I think brown furniture bring warm and calm to the house

[@jenniemiettinen3358]

Lovely, unique! A pleasure to see. Thank you for sharing.

[@JenniferHewitt-nb7pz]

All I can think is: Where is Stanley’s litter box? I’m sure it is an 18th century spittoon and looks stylish. What a lovely lady and beautifully curated space.

[@Gevril161]

What a lovely young woman . Her apartment is as warm as her soothing voice .

[@organizewithlu]

Very cute, great use of space.

[@KikiCurios]

Charming apt and beautiful woodwork! The soaring ceilings make it feel twice as large. I live in a similarly sized NYC apt that feels very spacious to me. After all, even in a large home with many rooms, you can only be in one at a time!

[@dons9228]

Beautifully curated with a very good eye for interiors!!

[@maddscientist3170]

What a FABULOUS place!!! love the character of the old building!!! The shutters are awesome & a full window in the bath..marvelous!!!

[@pamwright5126]

You have such a gentle spirit and it is reflected in your home. Beautiful apartment! You’ve sure made it a welcoming home! God bless❤

[@sumar207]

Love this woman’s style & approach to life & design. Also think it’s so cool how New Yorkers leave cast-offs on the curb so that others can take over ownership.

[@mysweetestdays]

What a warm, glorious woman! She feels like the best friend we all want and need! And I adore her home :)

[@b.bernal6151]

I love all the original woodwork in this apartment. So glad it’s been preserved and someone didn’t paint over it. You have done it justice with your decor. There are remote control lightbulbs you might want to consider for the light sconces next to the bed.

[@kathleendonson7817]

Claudia, you have impeccable taste. I love everything you have in your studio.

[@luvtravel6207]

This apt takes me back to my 20’s when I lived alone in Brooklyn studio in a brownstone. Literally the happiest time in my life 😊. What a lovely apt for a lovely person!

[@jaynebahler9696]

Beautiful studio. Love your taste in decor, and your beautiful cat !

[@MsDreamcakes]

What a beautiful space she's created! She's such a breath of fresh air, comfortable in her own skin. What a treasure she is!

[@kimwilson3831]

As charming as she is! ❤ It

[@jackiecarson859]

I've had only 1 studio apartment that I liked - nice sized kitchen, large windows, and a Murphy bed. The other 2 were nightmares. *I love yours!* So much character and warmth. Cozy! Oh, and Stanley's a babe!

[@BrownyBird]

The good thing about living on Monaco as i do, is that you can find those terracotta pots everywhere! I mean, in the trash, dumped in a corner, you name it. I got a whole new collection and it cost me zero euro! 😅

[@SuzeeBeeCA]

Lovely home! Thanks, Homeworthy, for showcasing small homes. It was a joy to watch. The pegs in the bathroom are genius, and there were several clever "solutions" to small space living. Maybe small in size but large in style, coziness, character, and pretty things curated with love! When I was a little girl I loved going to new friend's homes and looking at their rooms. I would ask about everything, where they got it, pick up items and look them over. And now here we are in 2024, and this is an actual thing where people share their style and tell us about all their things. 😂 🙌🏼

[@carolepeck3829]

This is my fav Homeworthy episode.

[@draselee6131]

What a charming apartment, just beautiful. It’s the purrrrrrrfect home for handsome Stanley😽.

[@jgirldo2691]

I just LOVE this video. Claudia is so lovely and she has created such a cozy beautiful home. I'm awe struck.

[@user-vh7nb7ey4r]

Lovely apartment...comfortable, homey, peaceful, elegant!

[@Eloiseat6]

I love this video! It’s a great apartment and you made it better.

[@karenalsbury5882]

This lady is cool. This home tour is very different from most. I loved it.

[@ljlou5746]

This tour has been such a delightful experience. The home is perfection. Thank you Homeworthy for this presentation. ❤

[@Tussybaby3261]

I could live in that apartment forever!! Just charming !! What a blessing!!
