You could put your coats in vacuum seal bags and shrink them down. Then put them in the under the bed caddies. Just an idea

[@ML-kr4ms]

I love the vacuum seal bags brought them from Amazon they flatten down so well and I stick them under my bed as well.

[@kirsten-ashley]

So smart! I already have the bags so that's perfect

[@Teachingtea]

​@@ML-kr4ms I was just looking at some on Amazon. What brand did you get?

[@ML-kr4ms]

The original space savers.

[@tunisiarawles]

I swear, you are one of my favorite channels I love to visit. I just love the way you change and rearrange things around your place. I love the floral art print, the two candle sconces, and the under storage pieces for your shoes. I even liked that you made your own art print to cover up the utility box. I'm so glad that I'm subscribed to your channel. I love your taste in home decor.

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you, thank you! So glad you enjoy these moments in my life. Really appreciate your support ❤️

[@lia12345Abc]

Love the new print. Definitely use colored candles.

[@amieeadams2141]

I have a suggestion for your Coats and bags. They make heavy duty magnets with hooks that you can apply to the back of that metal door. It will help soften the look of the door and utilize the space at the same time. Love your videos!

[@calvinjefferson321]

Hello Kirsten, Your dining room area looks nice.I think that the black frame looks good with those Gold candle holders. Your DIY project came out really well. Really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@buythetruthanddonotsellit]

I love watching your projects and you decorating your home!!!

[@kirsten-ashley]

Glad you like them!

[@b-sidecharley]

You've added some really nice touches with the print and candle holders and the rolling storage is perfect. Great job!

[@kirsten-ashley]

Glad you liked it all!!

[@aidajones-goins882]

The new dining area set-up looks so nice! Great DIY art work. Have a great day, Kirsten! 🥰

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@amoijoy573]

Beat trick: Put each coat in a garbage bag. Place the bag next to a wall & push your body against the bag. Hold the top of the bag to keep the air out as much as possible after you compress the bag. Then tie a knot. The bag will become flat & then put in storage container.

[@callen9679]

Love the candle holders

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you!

[@LATINJEWEL77]

Great job decorating your apartment. One thing I do for coats that has greatly helped me to condense when storing for winter is getting vacuum storage bags. They have been a life saver when putting away coats for the winter!

[@kirsten-ashley]

Yes, i have those!! They've always gotten lost under my bed but with the risers I shouldn't have that problem 😊

[@ShariTsahai]

Loving the new look in the dining room. Can't wait to see the wallpaper. That DIY was also 🔥!

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@cressidaaaaa]

This little dining area looks perfect now. I love that idea with the candle.

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you, I love it too!

[@viviansnotebook8965]

I love when you do this videos of decor. I can’t wait for the next video to see the wall paper.

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you! wallpaper will be up soon hopefully🙏

Smart lady, the bed risers👌👌👌Great idea !

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you!!

Can NOT wait to watch ❤🎉 you know I had to give a like even before watching 🤪💞💞💞

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you always ❤️

[@nikkiep23]

My home is pretty neutral as well but since moving into my new place, l've added a few pops of color with artwork . The artwork with the sconces adds a nice touch.

[@kirsten-ashley]

Yesss art is the perfect way to add color ❤️

[@s.sflower]

Girl what! In the beginning of the video, the quality looked so great that I thought you were already using the new camera 😱 your phone has a great front camera quality! And you neeeed vacuum sealed storage bags, they are a total game changer!!!

[@kirsten-ashley]

Aw haha glad the quality was ok!! Yess I have vacuum sealed bags but didn't think of putting them inside the new storage organizers so I'll try that

[@s.sflower]

@@kirsten-ashley 🥰👍🏽

[@stephienatalie7305]

Great vlog. Wooden frame would look even better and I like the cream candles better. To make them fit, use a knife and scrape/shave down the bottoms of them.

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thanks, that's exactly what I did!!

[@MayWonder]

I never thought of using a TJMaxx canvas. That's a great idea!!!

[@kirsten-ashley]

Right?! So cost effective

[@apriljackson5304]

Love your initiative and perseverance, Kirsten❣️ You take an idea and find a way to bring it to fruition. I'm impressed by your venture into more colorful hues. I believe the green wallpaper is a winner. It's a little darker, but it's a grounding, soft earth color that brings relaxing comfort. The print over the dining area works well, especially with the sandy mauve candlesticks and in keeping with the earthy hues you have all around. As with you, I think a wood frame is in order. Given your success thus far, I have no doubt that the end results of your efforts will be just lovely❣️

[@kirsten-ashley]

I completely agree with the green adding that peaceful earthy feel. Hopefully it looks just as good once it's up! Glad you enjoyed everything ❤️

[@user-vl2wy1cm8r]

Hi Kirsten! Just started watching your vlog. I really like it! You are living your best life! Your decorating style speaks to me. I love switching this up too. I thought it was just ME!!! 😂 Keep it up! 🥰❤

[@michelledee2586]

I love it too, the new dining room. It’s girly which is in right now. You have such a good eye for decorating. Well it could be your new calling.

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you! Maybe one day I can pursue it full time 🙏

I love the new print. Will be getting one for my place when i move from Trinidad to Japan this Summer

I got the DJI pocket 3 when it first came out and use it on a lot of my reels;I LOVE it!!! ❤ Also love your new dining area decor, looks so elegant and clean.

[@kirsten-ashley]

Yesss your reels are always on point!! Can't wait to get some good footage for my reels too!

[@naturaldiva67]

Always enjoy your videos about decor, you are very creative❤

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you so much!

[@diamondtbar9818]

Great video! Two things... I would go with the tan (?) candles on either side of the dining room framed picture. The white candles just seem a bit too... stark? Or dare I say, wedding venue'ish? Also, and this is just me, but I detest beds that sit up way high. Like I need a step ladder, lol. We also have a space-challenged house, and I found cheap, plastic, under-bed bins at Walmart. Not ideal, but when they break, it's an inexpensive replacement, they slide easily, and they do fit. Barely, lol. Thanks again!

[@kirsten-ashley]

Agreed, gonna switch out the candles this week! I've actually already gotten used to the higher bed. It's only a few inches taller but definitely felt weird at first lol

[@billiehicks6587]

I love your artwork to coverup your utility box. Very Smart…❤

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you!!

[@thenoxieproject]

The phone camera quality is actually very good. Would not have noticed anything if you didn't say it. I enjoy your vlogs!

[@s.sflower]

17:54 yes I like the tan colored ones better, matches better with the artwork. And I would deff keep the frame black! Looks chic and makes the artwork pop! ✨️❤

[@kirsten-ashley]

Agreed with the tan candles! Ah i keep going back and forth about the frame haha

[@s.sflower]

@@kirsten-ashley I say black frame 100% 💓💓

[@denisejones5422]

Hello Kristen, Your apt is beautiful 😍 I love what you did with your dining area so cute😍 Suggestion invest in space bag your coats would fit good in your underbed storage case and plenty of command products.

[@kirsten-ashley]

I have the vacuum sealed bags, definitely gonna try that thanks!!

[@shans.762]

super cute! you are just a ray of sunshine lol

[@estherstephens1858]

Please tell me about your dining table and chairs. I love them.

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you! Table is west elm, chairs are from target :)

[@SaharaKnows]

Definitely the green. Needs some dimension. Design is not flat.

[@kirsten-ashley]

I like the green too!

[@hannekristensen6506]

What a cozy vlog 🙂 I think you should go for a wooden frame, it would match your floor lamp nicely.

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you ❤️

[@LovejoyStyles]

We see your muscle gains Kirsten! You look great!

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you!!

[@GulfCoastLady]

I ❤ your decor. I also like the white candles better in the candle holders. What do you think about a light over the picture? What a neat idea for under-the-bed storage 🙂 Can't wait to see the finished wallpaper 🎉 Have a great week! ❤

[@kirsten-ashley]

I was initially going to do a light over the picture but didnt want to hardwire anything and wanted to have minimal wall damage which is why the candle holders worked perfectly - two little screw holes that i can easily patch up when I'm ready to take them down!

[@GulfCoastLady]

@@kirsten-ashley That makes sense. You definitely don't want to make a lot of holes in the wall. The candle holders are perfect.

[@flufftronable]

Love the nail color so pretty.

[@kirsten-ashley]

Thank you! 🤗

[@glenellematterson3074]

Keep it black for a little depth and contrast

[@sillythu1]

consider shaving down the fat part of ur tapers with a vegetable peeler 😉 Everything looks great! Thanks for taking us on this journey with you

[@caboverde2077]

Great job and all looking very beautiful. One suggestion, more than your clothes being an eye sore, is your greyish front door 😂 I would have bought the same color wall peel and stick and cover it (in case you can't paint the door) and everything would look seamless and like a wall disguise for the door. All the best!

[@kirsten-ashley]

Ugh why did they ever decide that grey was a good color? lol I really wish I could just paint it white. I feel like the green wallpaper there might be too much but I have to think about it more!

[@caboverde2077]

@@kirsten-ashley I'm not a gray fan too 😂 I guess if your wallpaper isn't busy with patterns it can work... Give it a try, as for anything you can always take it down 😉 all best gorgeous ☺

[@Gaby-fh3nc]

I think for a small apt that square footage u have to be as minimalist as possible. I would either remove the table in the entry or remove ur dining table. it makes it look too clutter. Maybe u can get those foldable tables to eat and close it up when ur done since it’s just u living there. I’ll be downsizing from 535 sq ft to 367 so I’m thinking of all the ideas possible to be as minimal.

[@Twtybird1]

I’m curious to know if you left the bed risers in place and if you liked sleeping higher : ) A few years ago, I bought a new mattress (Nest Bedding) plus frame, and now I sleep 2 ft high. I love it, even though at 5’9” I had to get used to getting into bed differently 😂

[@kirsten-ashley]

I did leave them! I'm mostly used to it now, but it's definitely not as easy to just plop into bed like I used to haha

[@dani23dani85]

Love your video! Can you do a review on your new camera :)

[@iamtwinkiebyrd6396]

Love the art. Maybe consider going to goodwill and purchasing the same type of art for like 5 bucks?

Vacuum seal the coats then put them in the under bed storage containers.

Hey Kirsten I love your bed where did you get it? It looks like the one I’m looking at at Wayfair .

[@kirsten-ashley]

Hi! Yes I purchased at allmodern so it's likely the same

[@carolynlandrum668]

What about using both?

[@karlenedawkins8589]

You covered the electrical box, so each time if you need to use ,you would have to keep taking down the frame.?

[@Cricket-wv3hu]

I've had mine covered for years and rarely have to access it. When I do, it's easily removed and replaced again.

Yes, exactly! The command strips are velcro so very easily detachable
