Artist studio tour | Brooklyn home illustration studio, replete with lush plants & colorful art

[@flowersafeheart]

The use of plants, color, all of it is inspiring, artsy, peaceful, refreshing. Very lovely.

[@juliegoldman411]

I agree 💯💯 percent. She has everything she needs in a serene, colorful space...and the kitty loves it too!!

Aw, thank you so much

[@AlmondJoie]

Hands down one of the very best studio tours I've ever had the pleasure of watching.👀 Kudos to you for your entire presentation: the relaxing jazz, the ambiance, soothing voiceover, storytelling, visuals, and delightful creativity in the many ways you positioned yourself on your black couch. I could literally watch this again, and again ...

[@kesalt]

Omg, thank you so much! I'm really glad you appreciated it :')

[@AlmondJoie]

@@kesalt You're welcome. If you change up your space, I really hope you'll do an update. Other Channel KZbinrs could definitely learn from you.👍🏼

[@frannypie.]

oh wow ty youtube for dropping this gem into my lap!! i just quit my full time job to pursue being an artist and one of my hopes is to vlog here and there as well. i aspire to have even half the beauty and perfection your vlog does when i upload my first attempt!

[@kesalt]

Thank you so much!! 💕

[@anthonyw2931]

Your apartment is imbued with harmony. Not surprising coz your art reflects just that: contained is a lot, but each piece is at its place. It's as if they are all having a conversation with each other. An elegant affair, I should say. You are a very good storyteller, and I could listen to you for hours. I paused multiple times, especially when it came to the books you have- Yoshitaka Amano😍!!! I have never heard of him but his work is amazing! Thank you for letting us in and sharing a piece of your home.

[@kesalt]

Haha, thank you so much, Anthony!! Yes, Yoshitaka Amano's work is really lovely, and it's wonderful to see how his artwork has graced everything from comic books to galleries, concept art for video games and movies; truly inspiring :)

[@SeriousMoonlight666]

The whole tour experience was like a mind vacation- thank you. From your soothing voice, the music and colours, art, exotic items, shapes to levels of light...it all feels so welcoming and revitalizing. You succeeded in inclusion of a perfect balance of useful pieces with nature, both flora and fauna- its square footage felt inconsequential. You have a beautiful sense for living and working.

[@gladysperez8156]

One of the things that delights me are all her beautiful plants. I can tell that this young artist has what she likes and is experimenting,

[@kesalt]

Thanks so much, Gladys! ❤️

[@maureenclothier9468]

I really enjoyed this. Her speaking voice was so soothing. She had cool decorating ideas. Also I thought the cat was so beautiful.

[@kesalt]

Thanks, Maureen! I'll be sure to pass your compliments along to my cat :)

[@CarolBrienArt]

Such a lovely studio/home tour, filmed and narrated perfect

[@kesalt]

Thanks so much, Carol! 💕

[@christinaillos]

Loooved this tour! The diy private bathroom for Sumi, the Ciao shrine, all the different origin stories for each furniture piece!!

[@kesalt]

Yayy I'm glad!! Also interesting to compare how both cats have interacted with the furniture; Ciao was firmly a couch girl, Sumi is a bit more parkour 😂

[@d__extraordinary175]

I enjoyed your wonderful voice ! ( i often skip channels where the voices are so irritating ) Your home is so peaceful and organized, I felt warmed watching it. The cat in the window was purrrrfect !!!!!!! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much! Yes, small spaces are underrated - so much less to clean haha

[@a.mie.533]

So charming and cosy! I like every little detail and especially the carefulness and attention with which you've chosen, made or arranged your objects. It really resonates with my own dedication to my imperfect but beloved diy living space.😊

[@haleyh9875]

The atmosphere is actually RADIATING comfy & inviting vibes. It gave me a lot of inspiration for moving out into my new apartment with my similarly abundant hoard of plant babies. The coolest aspect for me was that your art style (from what I can see from it in this video, at least) seems to be reflected in your detailed decorations which are super cool. Thanks for posting : D

[@kesalt]

Thank you so much, Haley! Best of luck with your new apartment, I'm sure you'll make it into your own lovely sanctuary 💕

[@kathleenfredrickson8593]

I feel like I would be comfortable and inspired in this place. It would be welcoming to come home to, and I agree that your voice is special. It sounds like this space feels. Well done.

Thank you!! Yes, luckily Sumi forgoes the plants and has more of an interest in bird tv, aka the window 😸

[@GradKat]

It’s stylish, warm, charming - just gorgeous! Such a wonderful use of colour, textures, and beautiful objets d’art.

[@nameboys_colors]

This was so, so satisfying to watch and also so calming! I love your attention to detail & the little stories each decor piece tells💕 The small jar you got in Berlin is something very German I've seen it in pretty much every house hold of my friends or family! Originally for drinking liquor it is now utilized in so many different ways like my friend storing dog treats in one. I wonder which stories your small jar would to tell if it could talk.... lotsa love & appreciation from a German art girl💕💕

[@kesalt]

Wow, thanks for watching and I love learning that about your corner of the world! So clever, putting dog treats in there! Yesss, I would love to know where this little jar has been prior to its life in NY :)

The amount of coffee you put in that cup💦 ... that moka... that moka is intended to be shared with at least four people....... and espresso is a smaaaaall amount of coffee (without milk)...... I'm emitting a quiet gasp

You should add more of your paintings on the wall…you are so talented…you have a beautiful soft voice too….I have a suggestion for your cat…I always put a small cardboard box inside the litter box and throw it all out every week because that plastic holds odor. Urine off spray works too…Thankyou for sharing your place…love it …hugs carolyn from Georgia

[@DQ_ArtGroupie]

Nice tour!! Your crib's bohemian vibe reminds me a bit of my 2nd oboe teacher's apartment in the Glover Park neighborhood in DC with her cat Sebastian. She later switched careers and moved to the Big Apple, so maybe that's why they both seem so similar. All you'd need is a reed desk and it'd be practically the same place.

[@kesalt]

Sounds like she lives a very cool life! It's funny how so many old interiors in NYC look so similar; I love seeing how other people make use of the same space!

[@DQ_ArtGroupie]

@@kesalt "Cool" is exactly the word I would use to describe her. tbh I was Platonically enamored with her. Thing is, she was so much better educated and better read than teenage me was, she would often make jokes which I could tell were hilarious, but the punch lines had these inside literary references which sailed right over my head. I was typically reduced to saying, "...yeah,...um....um..." Then her cat would look at me funny.
