here to mention Leonie DID in fact colour correct the kitchen footage to make the cabinets look more lavender (We have come to the consensus they are periwinkle) 😂😂😂

[@laviestbelle3760]

I was looking at the cabinets saying that's definitely more purple than blue 🤣

[@justinebanszky]

Hahahah

[@barbara9315]

@@abcxyz-ot7kxdude,that’s scary 😅

[@Leonie_Christel]

i swear the cabinets looked more blue in the raw footage than in real life 😭

[@vitoriakreutzwerle]

I was about to say that on minute 12:42 we can see the real color and it’s definitely not that lavander… more of a pale blue Ahahhahahaha

[@joyxynn]

i GASPED seeing the living room, the kitchen, office space, the connecting doors, it’s just FANTASTIC but thinking about how Leonie would adorn the apartment.. I KNOW IT’LL LOOK LIKE A MODERN FAIRY’S HEAVEN

[@RaeOkaay]

The spider foot steps 💕😭so cuuuuute Edit: The cabinets are for sure lavender

[@misuko1792]

1. this apartment is a DREAAAMM 2. Lavender for sure

[@Megan.eco-Instinct]

I'm 62 years old and can honestly say that until now...I have never heard spider footsteps like that. Magical. I follow your book channel and so this came up in my recommended and I am so pleased it did! It was so much fun to see a young lady getting her first "real place" - really made me smile. The apartment is lovely with a *ton* of potential. The layouts there seems quite different than typical spaces in the US and I love it. It has a great feel to it... a modern feel but it's also a space that will beautifully welcome vintage pieces and style. I am so looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

[@charlotte9850]

The absolute comedy of Leonie saying her vibe is Victorian and the next clip calling a bedroom her bed chambers 😂😂

[@sarawithoutanH]

why are the little cities in the netherlands so beautiful 😭 just thinking about where i live in comparison makes me wanna cry

[@Beproductivetodayyall]

Fr 😭😭

[@Bjjbhcoa86]

yeah some people's realities are soo wild. What do you mean you can move to a little historical town?? Luck you and have a great life!

[@bobkeane7966]

There is something about an empty house or apartment that gives me the feeling of opportunities or new beginnings, I hope you find joy in your new home.

[@zeldarune]

Wouldn't it be better to surround the seating area with bookshelves on the two walls? To protect the books from food and everything that goes in the kitchen (heat, smell). You'll mostly read in the seating area too, that'd be cosy - The apartment is gorgeous. Very happy for you! - ps: it's lavender!

[@ACanuckinAlabama]

As an Interior Designer, I agree that the books would be more appropriately place in the Living room versus the eating area. The cabinets look lavender on the video. Love the blue fridge!! Lovely bathroom, the alcove could be for a towel cabinet 😊 You will find a new favourite coffee shop and bookstore. The apartment is lovely! The city looks very charming ❤❤❤

[@niinlotantapaista]

Spending time in an empty flat with your friends is a whole vibe - eating takeout straight out of boxes and wondering about everything that's going to happen within those walls. I moved to live alone a year ago after living with a partner for a few years, and I still recall the conversation me and a friend had over carrot cake in the empty living room: "It feels like home here." "It feels like your home." Not a day goes by without me thinking about how this place right here is for me and how incredible that is. I hope your new home will take you into its arms with as much warmth. ❤ (Btw, periwinkle is an excellent colour for kitchen cabinets, and bed chamber is the only suitable term for the room a lady like you will sleep in.)

[@Yoeri22]

The little spider footsteps were so cute🥰 it's a sound you don't generally hear and it feels special

[@amandaperinotto8883]

As a Canadian, my mind is blown by the shower in the kitchen and no dedicated bathroom.. I cannot wrap my head around that, how do you get privacy from your roommates? This is why I love house tour videos, it’s so wonderful to learn how other countries live! Your new apartment is a dream, I’m so happy for you! You must be so excited for the bigger space

[@saferapocalypse17]

it's definitely not common in the Netherlands! having a seperate toilet room and shower/sink room is pretty common and so is having the shower bathroom connecting to the kitchen, but I've never seen one like this before! maybe bc the building is so old haha

[@empjepempje]

This setup isn't regular in the NL indeed, but we very rarely have ensuites like in CAN or the USA. A standard house will have a large bathroom with toilet, shower, sink and possible bath, and one small bathroom with just a toilet and a sink. Everyone living in the house will share the large bathroom.

[@elsbells4841]

Ummmmmm houses in NL have bathrooms. STUDENT houses on the other hand ….

[@elsa4206]

omg the hot to go dance im crying 😭😭😭😭😭

[@Meowmix1501]

Cabinets look lavender- at least on film. The fridge looks blue though!

[@justsomebody1171]

I love the little vlog with the Leo's. The chaos, the vibes, them just being little kids

[@klaire74]

That Lavander/Periwinkle kitchen is the perfect candidate for a witchy kitchen, with plants and apothecary. Is an amazing apartment, gefeliciteerd! Have fun decorating and making it home! And seeing you with Leora made my day, i forgot how tired i am.

[@vaughnestic]

8:52 HELLO?!?!?!?! didn't know I needed to see leonie dancing to hot to go until now!!!

[@toffeefuchs]

I love that floor plan! Open but structured apartments are my favourite. You can have clear defined areas for different purposes but there is still a flow from one area to another. Also all that natural light? Amazing! How many m² is it? Also seeing two friends being excited, happy and a little goofy together just makes my day. I can't help but share your enthusiasm. I hope you find the perfect furniture to turn this into your dream home.

[@LuckyYogi]

Oh my gosh. I can feel all the feels of joy of having your own place. So relatable, down to the quirky bits of " I can do this now, I can do this, and this!" Even down to the pizza in the new place. A true new place tradition. :D congratulations on your new place. Love this edit. All the feels. side note. Love your daisy earrings!

[@oliviermela]

I love how both of you got so excited you said "PIZZA!" at the same time. 🍕

[@elsa4206]

MOVING VLOGS !!!!!! and im early woo !!!!!!! so excited for u

[@msellenandrea]

This is such an upgrade for you Leonie, congratulations! :D I'm excited for you, and for us because we are getting such amazing fun content 😂 (The kitchen cabinets looked both blue and lavender, depending on the light)

[@pretentioussunshine]

It looks so nice, I am sure everything is going to turn out great with the clorful walls and everything!! I don't know if you've already moved but in Germany we have this superstition that the thing you dream on the first night in a new home is gonna come true, so keep an eye out

[@plshugme3294]

I'm German and I honestly didn't know this superstition haha :) but I think its cute

[@christinemartin8549]

OMG, the blue SMEG. To die for.

Wow didn’t expect the new apartment to be so huge! It must be pretty expensive 😅 anyway the space seems great❤

[@Hillary429]

It’s the end of an era!!!! I can’t believe you will no longer exist solely in that teeny tiny room

[@DonnaMarieWriting]

Definitely lavender :) Enjoy moving!

[@y-tiplex]

I was surprised when she called it open concept because the whole video I had been marvelling about how un-open concept it is.

[@hannahandherstories]

Love the new place! I also adore small cities. And the cabinets are lavender, but with an extra helping of cornflower blue

[@littlemissneverseen]

I am living for the chaotic energy of this video

[@paulinahafer7185]

😱😱😱 It‘s so beautiful!!! I‘m really happy you get to experience all these things you‘ve been looking forward to (I can attest to the fact that a dishwasher makes a wooorld of difference 🙌) and it generally looks amazing!! I‘m a huge fan of the layout. Thrilled to find out how all of your own influence will transform the space 😊😊😊

[@Juli_Stranger]

I just love the energy of this vlog so much?? omg!! also so excited for the moving and everything, i love moving vlogs! can't wait to see how you decorate!

[@Sthemingway]

This is so exciting... I cannot wait to see you infuse your new place with autumn and Halloween decor! Your kitchen cabinets could be periwinkle (lavenderish light blue) or cornflower (grayish light blue with a hint of lavender).

[@emeowlyclaire]

Wait those spider footsteps were so cute 😭

[@localberry]

i lived in delft for a month last year when i was interning at the peace palace, it was SUCH a lovely city and place to be, even though I was always alone I had such a lovely time and it felt so safe and cosy and pretty :)) hope you love living there as much as i did!!!

[@mochi.kitkat]

The apartment is beautiful! I can't wait too see you decorate it! Also 'bed chamber' made me giggle 😊

[@girlwithoutpearlearring]

This is so exciting! I am looking for an appartment myself right now, but I've only just begone sending out applications so it might still take a while... Until then I will live vicariously through your content, because this appartment of yours sure looks like a dream come true! I'm so looking foreward to seeing what you'll do with it!

[@r21167]

Congrats on the apartment, it looks so lovely! That outdoor space is to dieeee for and the whole apartment looks so roomy and pleasant. I live in a tiny apartment that's half independent, half not, I have no private outdoor space, no laundry and no freezer (those 2 are in a common room downstairs) so I am drooooling over your place haha Can't wait for the vids about decorating :)

[@fabulaklub]

I am so jealous!!! Delft is the most beautiful town I have ever been in, I hope you will feel amazing there

[@Thegirlwiththebooks-]

We’re gonna move soon, so these moving vlogs come at a perfect time for me :) I was already looking at nature room inspirations on Pinterest, but this is even better! Can’t wait to see how the apartment turns out! Also, “my favourite houses as a child were the ones where you could walk in a circle” is so relatable

[@shar1386]

This video was so cute! It made me really happy seeing you and your friend skipping through the house. Being happy about all the grown up things you now have. I hope you enjoy your time in Delft! Groetjes uit Rotterdam✨

[@ChantelleArts]

that hallway with a ton of doors kind of looks like something from a horror movie 😂

[@thecrazybookworm3086]

Oh this is a wonderful apartment! Definitely nicer than my first place lol, you have so mcc space. I'm so excited for you! Also its so cool that you can paint it and really make it yours.

[@Jk83832]

Are you buying or renting? Just wondering since you’re painting, that’s not common in Australia at least!

[@swamp_rose]

Aaah great video! Lived in the Netherlands most of my life (now in Canada) and am ashamed to say I had never been to Delft until a visit back home last summer...and I fell in love! If I ever move back, it's going to be Delft 😌

silent viewer since time immemorial. this video made me so happy. I'm so excited for you leonie. Leora seems fun. colour is deffo more lavender. i trust your taste in books

[@bethd4739]

Cabinets are definitely lavender! Congratulations on your new space!

[@evonyaelyn]

I hope you'll show us around your new city! Or at least show us your new favorite spots (like bookstores, cafes, etc.). It'd be cool to see what's changed in your routine since your favorite places to go are no longer within walking distance (I'm assuming)!

[@circleofleaves2676]

Cute! I love seeing fellow book nerds decorating their home spaces. I would recommend putting the bookshelves on the opposite wall, further from the kitchen. It's wild how much steam and sticky vapours from cooking can travel through the air and settle on books. I would call the colour of the kitchen cabinets mauve, which is more on the blue-ish side of purple, with lilac on the more pink-ish side of purple, and lavender right between them.

[@annabelrianne693]

Congrats on the apartment, it looks so nice!! Hope you can create a lovely little home there ❤

[@emmaunderbluesky7511]

Expressing yourself in home decorating is an unmatched thrill. I wouldn’t a recommend putting the books shelves near the kitchen though. The heat, mist … coming from cooking might damage them (slowly but surely)

[@chrisott9129]

I’ve never seen Leonie this excited! 🥰

[@shaymayco99]

My husband and I just bought our first house (!!!!!!) so I loved watching this video and sharing in that same feeling of excitement that you have for your new home! Looking forward to more videos showing how you personalize your space!!

[@floraandfable]

I can’t wait for all the moving content I love watching stuff like this! At first I thought the long hallway is not that cool, but when I realized it’s possible you can go around the house I changed my mind! I can’t wait to see how you will decorate this place and make it your new home ❤

[@kaytee6863]

I looooove the new appartement! As a person who once had her books next to the kitchen: you might want to rethink that decision... my books are sooo smelly now.
