MOVING VLOG: first day in my barcelona apartment, unpacking, grocery haul, room tour!

[@lifewithkatie]

hi guys!! in this move in vlog, I unpack all my suitcases (finally), build my last pieces of furniture, grocery shop, and rearrange my room and give a little tour!! my next video’s will show more of my life here in barcelona, as this one is mainly focused on getting my apartment together but thank you all so much so much for watching, it really means so much! 🤍 (BTW: the shelf I bought is not upside down, the four circles are actually on both sides of the shelf so not sure if it’s a defect or what!)

[@iloveass2289]

Hi your apartment is so pretty what neighborhood is it in?

[@TawneeboT]

I vote to put up the box above the desk! Maybe you could put a plant on top which could cover the unpainted portion, so you wouldn’t have to go through the hassle of having it painted.

[@myloveforluke]

Love watching your spain blog!!

[@bpal5644]

You should get a cork board above your desk where you can pin things, photos etc.

[@selenamoirangthem8276]

This is exactly what I needed to see😍 I hope to move to Spain next year. Please tell us more about the apartment, the deposit, rent, roomates sharing and stuff if you can. It would be really helpful ❤️

[@littleblackdress88]

love the aesthetic of your new apartment.. & these Barcelona vlogs!

[@lifewithkatie]

ah thank you so much!! I’ve been loving these vlogs!!

[@alexandermauritius3072]

I love your channel because it’s authentic and genuine

[@lifewithkatie]

awe thank you!!

[@MaddieCassidy]

absolutely loving all of this apartment content katie 💌 i'm in the process of moving into my first apartment and have been watching all of your videos for inspiration! thank you!

[@alenyaus]

You could put up some prints to cover the unpainted wall.

[@katrainiasanders8656]

Yes u should add the one shelf back

[@pamelamoyana1493]

Hi, If possible could you add a link or note in the description with the names of the produce market and grocery store you went to? Thanks!

[@juanariute8646]

I was so excited to see your appartment watching your insta stories with your roomies! i really loved the matching colors everywhere, it looks so clean and fresh. by the way, have you thought of putting up some boards or pictures you like on your wall? cheers from brazil!

[@lizdancer1023]

Where did you get the lamps on your nightstands? So cute!

[@mirandaalexis]

i love the color scheme and aesthetic of your room and its so bright

[@lifewithkatie]

thank you so much for always leaving kind comments!! ☺️

[@mirandaalexis]

Katie Horan one of my faves since 2017 so always

[@meggs762]

Maybe if you got a big print or poster (especially a map! and if you got it like a vintage-y map it would match the neutral tan tones of your decor really well) to go over your desk it would cover most of the unpainted area

[@lifewithkatie]

meggs762 ahh great idea!!

[@StephanieJ24]

im going on a trip with EF next summer! (the trip was meant for 2020 but bc of covid I pushed it back) I follow their ig and never look at their stories! but I decided to watch it and I saw your takeover. I was literally meant to see it because I plan on moving to Madrid once I graduate college! I'm a junior at columbia college chicago, and I also vlog! I binged watched all your recent yt videos! you inspire me so much❤️

[@HannahYonkermusic]

How about a nice natural vibes tapestry on that wall? It would fix the problem & add an artsy ambience to your room!

[@skylerprice3561]

I love the new layout in your room!

[@juliariera4000]

If there's an Ametller Origen in your area, definitely grocery shop there. It's like the catalan version of Trader Joe's and their produce is very fresh and high quality. Coming from a catalan person that misses Trader Joe's sooo much lol

[@aestheticlemon6328]

I loooove this series haha. Great to see ur having fun =)

[@lifewithkatie]

aesthetic lemon thank you!!

[@debbiegomez5321]

Hi Katie. Loved the video. When do you start grad school? I can’t wait for your school vlogs. I’m loving the move in vlogs. They are so entertaining.

[@CoffeeMonsterr]

why don’t you return one of the cubes above your desk, you could use it to store your books in it and it would look great!

[@feranmer]

Your room looks amazing and seems super cosy. Where are the lamps on your bedside tables from? Thanks!

[@kfreetv4458]

Watching your videos makes me miss my favorite teacher🥺🥺 she talked to us about the experiences she had, similar to yours... she’s in Abu Dhabi right now

[@julyospina433]

could you please share the company you used to book with apt with?

[@matejagrlj1459]

You are living my dream girl! 😍🤩

[@adrianatoribio3595]

I love you setup before and now 😭 I was thinking you could’ve put the 3 shelves in the corner in between the wardrobe and desk to utilize that space. Since the drawers are pull out it seemed like there was enough space for that on camera. I also thought the desk would give you better sunlight on the other side because now it seem like it’ll hit you from behind. I know some people do their makeup in the bathroom but that was just my thought process 😭 Either way your room look great. It’s so amazing seeing you put together little by little ❤️. Your message at the end was so cute 🥺

[@adrianatoribio3595]

I was also thinking if you could start to add the location of where you go in case people want to visit if they travel there. I know some people may not like that because you are living there so it may be a safety thing, but just an idea.

[@chups4]

Hi Katie! Thanks for your videos! My wife and I are moving to Barcelona July 2021 so we are planning already. Your videos are making us really excited! I hope you don’t mind. Where areas do you recommend (ex. Les Corts, Eixample, etc.)? Which agency did you contact? When did you start booking your apartment (initially)? What was your price range for a 3 BR (and how many sqm?)? Thank you if ever!!!

[@camilacortes6652]

How did you found your apartment? Im moving to Barcelona in a couple months and im in an apartment hunting

[@mintkombucha3780]

[@lifewithkatie]

Inah Santos thanks for watching!! hope you get some sleep!! ☺️

[@beewh001]

You might need to change your chair. Not sure if that seat is good for ergonomic.

[@macla5229]

How did you find this place? And where is it located? :) It looks so good, I'm planning to move soon

[@anoumiiam]

I’ve been watching your vlogs religiously haha because I’m going to Barcelona next week to study too! 💜

[@lifewithkatie]

Elisabeth Camara omg so exciting!!

[@mxrineta]

Hi! where do you find bagel seasoning???? I can't find it anywhere here in Spain! :( Thanks !!

[@SR-jr5nh]

Actually tap water in Spain is way better than the one in a bottle!

[@dxni8308]

i hope to move to spain soon, so i love watching your vlogs

[@zenaguimeliza3502]

I love how your room turned out to be 💖💖💖 I've just had a question in mind, how do you do to keep in touch with your friends at home? if you're still friends with them obviously. Am someone who get attached too much to people so i find it hard to be away. I would appreciate a piece of advice from you. Love your vlogs!

[@lifewithkatie]

Zénagui Méliza I set up facetime calls a lot!! I find it really helps to catch up on everyone’s lives and stay in touch!!

[@rowenabuis1982]

[@josieedgar3287]

[@sbragdon212]

[@vanesamarenistakova7434]

just wondering, what are you going to do with all the furniture once you move out of Spain?

[@lifewithkatie]

selling it! there’s a nice online shop for secondhand ikea items, so I will be selling the items on there!

[@RuhulAmin-qk6wp]

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Great moving blog, Katie!❤️❤️

[@saurabhsahane1365]

[@Ernesto2004]

I love your video Katie

[@LauraMartinezBernal99]

I'm Spanish tip never go to the fresh market on Monday

[@lifewithkatie]

really?? why??

[@LauraMartinezBernal99]

@@lifewithkatie the normal thing is that on Sundays they do not work therefore the food they sell was collected on Saturday

[@Rosey8234]

Nice vlog Katie! I was wondering when do you start grad school? Will it be online or in person?

[@lifewithkatie]

Rosy Maldan in two weeks!! it will be a hybrid!!

[@drishtikapoor2832]

Love it!!

[@magda7395]

I am living in Barcelona (I believe we might be living in the same area based on your clips) and I really enjoy your vlogs, thanks for them! I love Mercat de La Concepcio but when it comes to the supermarket I really recommend Mercadona. Take care and looking forward for more vlogs :)

[@lifewithkatie]

ah I haven’t been to a mercadona yet but I want to go asap!!!

Coming from the Mariana's vlog ahah

[@VOYAGEO]

Bonne vidéo je m’abonne au passage viens voir ma chaîne je fais des vidéo de voyage 🙂

[@monikapytel]

okay there goes me the annoying (new) subscriber - i have to ask u smt truly out of curiosity. why do you put so much effort into buying new furniture to the apartment if u r not going to stay in it for a long time (i guess. long time for me is a couple years)? i feel like a lot of europeans tend to look for nice rooms/flats to rent because they don't want to spend money on furniture because they know they will move out (especially student and young singles). it is rather uncommon for us to buy any furniture if it's not the flat we're going to buy bc u have to either store the old furniture somewhere or throw it away and leave the new one after you move out of the flat. btw i'm not talking about necessary things such as the desk obv. and i'm not trying to be offensive i'm just curious about your point of view since it's kinda new to me. and i know some people just need things like that bc they want to feel good in the flat but it still kinda seems like a waste of money to me 😥

[@lifewithkatie]

hi thank you for the question! this apartment didn’t come furnished with very much storage, so if I didn’t buy a closet or shelf, I honestly wouldn’t have anywhere to put all of my clothes I brought. IKEA had the most affordable options and I don’t feel I bought anything that was too unnecessary. also I am staying here for about 2 years and afterwards, I will sell the furniture so it won’t be a waste of money. at least in other european countries that I’ve lived in (and also in america) it’s pretty common for people to sell furniture when they move out so I won’t be throwing it away or anything like that! hope this helps! 😊

[@Brocoree]

Almost first lol
