wow! she should be paid for all these amazing improvements by the landlord- the place looks a million times better than it did before. gorgeous!

[@sutats]

Upgraded the roommate to a fiance too.

[@thedduck]

Nah it's more like 10x better 🙃

[@jsmith5509]

She's turned this apartment into a beautiful space.

[@nope2075]

I normally don’t like neutral homes, but I think she did a lovely job of making it seem interesting while not having a lot of color. She added a lot of texture. I think the wall color is nice. Bc it’s not just stark white. It has yellow in it.

[@Ojo10]

I was just about to comment the same thing. It's the only largely neutral white space that doesn't make me want to claw my eyes out. I think It's because she has so many other elements and accents.

[@denverdubois5835]

"I'm not an artist" Oh, but you are! Your instinctive understanding of vertical space is brilliant. In such a tiny home, the use of as much vertical space as possible--both functionally and aesthetically--really does "pull the eye up" and counteract any claustrophobic sensations. So well done! I love also that you picked up on the age of the apartment and chose to restore to it the kind of decor--the paneling, the antique looking furniture and art, the beadboard, and fixing the chandelier--which enhances its own natural character. Another thing is--yes, I know white is super popular right now, but in such a tiny space, I think the use of white is essential if you want to make it feel more spacious. Luckily your place does have a lot of natural light! I only have two complaints--I'd love to have seen more of the bathroom, so intriguingly dark against the apartment's lightness, and I am always curious about closets. Especially in tiny apartments like this one, it's essential to see what sort of storage actually exists, and how it's used. LOVE the Anthro mirror, such a great touch, and no, no headboard is necessary. :-) A+, lovely job all around!

[@leslieannvanhumbeck7630]

Dark paint actually makes small spaces seem larger. The walls recede.

[@MariaCarabin]

Couldn't agree more!!! Amazing DIY!

[@Colorbrush21]

I absolutely agree with you. She really is an artist! She made that place so light and airy and beautiful. Even with all that white, her use of patterns, art, plants and fabrics gave it soul and personality.

[@janinafisher101]

Carly Fuller, I think you missed your calling! Your apartment is elegant and beautiful, and I think your artwork (and your "framed brick wall") is fabulous! Do NOT say you are not an artist - you most definitely are! Beautiful transformation!

[@susanstacy2493]

This apartment is lovely. It's so peaceful and calm. I think she made wise choices in all of her designs.

[@susanmulvey6311]

I really love that she saved the chandelier and put new crystals on it! Very beautiful, soothing space!! Clever DYI items! And young woman, you definitely are an artist! Love the “cardboard” framed art!!

[@bedbug]

love this video format where it's just the person living there explaining 👌

[@tamjg]

Yes, we don't need a "hostess" talking over the person who lives there.

[@felixia3526]

It’s how "3400$" and "tiny" are in the same sentence for me.

[@angelacox-martin2789]

That is insane...I would never contemplate paying that!

[@ariesa9751]

Lol yea

[@letters7777]

right? I get that this is NYC but this price is insanity, and it's not even in lower Manhattan or anything.

[@sandradonovan5991]

😄😄😄

[@karenhill3970]

Y'all pay WHAT??$$$$ I'm sorry but l . terrible it's darling granted ..but no,!.. I pay less than $600 for a 1400" SQ ft older home in Texas😅

[@bonnyphotinos4262]

Carly has this straightforward innate ability to know what works! She makes it seem so simple and her place is stunning! She is gifted in this regard and does not put on any airs!

[@metislamestiza3708]

the chandelier is sweet. good on her to add to add more crystals as it works well in the space. always a fan of white in any size home, as that black back splash didn't add anything to the kitchen. lovely and bright!the furry chair reminds me of a bunny i had as a child

[@JudgeyJudgeyable]

She has gorgeous taste and is so skilled at diy

[@GeorgeJeffers681]

I'm a single mother living in CA. Been working so hard so I can retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first condo this month and I can't be more proud than I am right now. I'm so glad I made good decisions about my finances that changed me forever.

[@Frances120]

Hey, I’m super proud of you. I wish you can take your time to give me a little guide on how to fix my finances. I’m in a mess right now and any tip from you would really go a long way.

[@GeorgeJeffers681]

Hey sweetie. Apparently, I used the FIRE movement to put my finances in shape. You can research more about it. Then, lnvested in stocks, crypto-currencies and real estates crowdfunding through the assistance of an lnvestment pro I was able to achieve a lot.

[@Frances120]

That’s really nice, I would make my research like you said. Also, I would love to connect with you financial consultant. Hope you don’t mind?

[@GeorgeJeffers681]

Ok. His name is Robert Michael. He has been very influential in my financial journey. You can look up for *growingwithrobert* to connect with Robert.

[@Frances120]

Thanks so much. I wish you all the best and may God keep favouring you. Amen.

[@Sebahtubman]

Her place is exquisite and warm.

[@psm89]

this feels minimal yet so cozy, everything is so well thought and put together.

[@soulsessions4219]

What a GORGEOUS apartment

[@niccotancredi3985]

Small. Not tiny... Great space & the white on white does so much for the space!!!

[@jamiladoukkalimezian8165]

very nicely decorated and amazingly improved. the off white tones is the best choice for small areas. the tree and branch are just awesome and yes ceiling lights create a certain atmosphere with plenty of glamour. bravo!

[@tarinahyland5026]

Such a stunning little apartment! Keep the videos coming! xo

[@jad8123]

The place looks great. The cardboard squares is a work of art & is perfect for the space. Every time I see the white brick wall it reminds me of sheet music. All you need are musical notes & you’re set. LOL!!!!

[@velvetindigonight]

Fab! Peaceful and soothing ......... Great tips. Thank you. Enjoy!

[@jannybranciforte9295]

Absolutely elegantly warm and beautiful. Your ideas are fabulous. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@meredithheath5272]

Beautifully appointed. And very clever touches! Thank you for sharing- And - Congratulations on your Engagement - Best Wishes!

[@janettallent5588]

Hey ,I watched this video 3times , I love your apartment! I want to live there . my favorite tour .it's so cozy and I love all your improvements. Its really cool !

[@tc47440]

That piece is definitely artwork! Anyone can be an artist.

[@vesnastihovic7014]

Oh, nice finally some real apartment tour 🙌

[@marciakiernan9018]

I think Carley Fuller is a very talented young woman and I love her taste. So many charming touches in this space. She has inspired me to continue to favor a predominantly warm white tone in my own apartment also.

[@chikawatson]

My favorite apartment tour video in NYC!

[@user-wt5xr1wb3r]

3400? for 450sqft? my mind 🤯

[@susanritzmann7694]

Great renovation. The apartment is bright and modern compared to the previous photos of the apartment you showed us. I love the idea of the art work in front of the AC to hide it! The wood paneling looks great and simple Great job!

[@wl4006]

Love the design and use of white/neutrals throughout the space which makes the apartment so elegant , classic and Not boring at all. Gives me many tips to style my next new 900 sq ft apartment. Thank you!!

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

WOW!! What a incredible great job you've done to utilize your tiny home!! 👏 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@tickled41]

Omg the original red brick and gold frame were 😩😘👌

[@leatherfeather3686]

I thought the same thing...I cant believe she painted over that exposed brick. It's sad.

[@prissilou]

Love this space, and love the decorating vibe! This lady is the closest I have seen to what I would pick for my vibe for a small apartment! She's very talented (IMHO)

[@yvonneschermerhorn866]

I love what you have done in your space! Elegant, calming and just right!

[@hotelierid9029]

So pretty. Before and after is so different, i like her taste in decor and interior. Well done.

[@renaegarcia3608]

So beautiful!

[@listitwithloomis4746]

Great job!!

[@barbarawillis5187]

Decorated very Shabby Chic (a popular decor decades ago). I like the custom wall features and the framed painted cardboard art piece. Looks like an expensive piece of art. Carly is a very talented for changing up plain walls.

[@jennamckay8188]

Great job Carly! The queen of DIY with such cute style ❤

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hi how are you doing?

[@stephaniestanley8041]

[@noreenalexander3836]

Stunning, stunning! You should be designing homes for a living, you are so talented!

[@pameladenise1452]

Great apartment! Love it !

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello how are you doing?

[@bobbiecox2423]

LOVE ALL OF THE NEUTRAL/WHITE...🤩

[@thelaugh2884]

you did miracles with the place

[@nikkiep23]

I love it! Its so charming.

[@rubychew6535]

The eggshell white is beautiful. The dark color for the bathroom makes it pop.

[@willistaylor4077]

Absolutely Beautiful !!! ♥️♥️

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

She did a amazing job creating this into a beautiful space love the nude and white aspect of the place she may live in Hell’s Kitchen but this is heavenly 🤍

[@Kenbarbie288]

Great use of space in a small area! Beautiful.

[@jennifersutton3115]

Your home is nice. And comfy. It's neat and organized. I love your ivory plants. What matters to me is stories and character. You hv a nice personality. Very soft spoken. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@InTheStudioWithMyrna]

It is SO a piece of artwork. Please give yourself more credit for your creativity. Thank you for the introduction to this arts. Seeing your piece... and then hers... is inspiring a piece I'd like to make out of fabric.

[@alittlebitofjessica]

The exposed brick could've stayed in its original red, but other than that, the apartment is lovely and tasteful. She seems young, but is so well spoken, and although the aesthetic is familiar, she's managed to make it her own. Good for her!

[@teresawiley6077]

No red brick in such a calm space.

[@ACS402010]

@@teresawiley6077 Exactly. The red brick, while it might have been suitable in a different decor them, most definitely did not suit this particular apartment decor theme. It was too jarring. Making it white grounded it an added to the calming theme she was going for.

[@alittlebitofjessica]

@SilverSerpent64 Thanks, Captain Obvious, for pointing out what we all just saw in the video. Maybe I was stating my own personal preference?

[@jetteramsey9292]

Well done,just brilliant!

[@becky9231]

Utilizing every sq ft creatively with a purpose.. A neutral color palette is essential.. Cohesiveness... Impressive.👍💯 Dressers have been undervalued for years, now they are speaking volumes..I am a staging student so I watch home decor videos for my studies..

[@user-xl4zr1xw1o]

That is pure brilliance! Give you some money and you have a new career designing for the TINY HOUSE community! Yes, large statement pieces can make a small space feel bigger.

[@dawnsullivan7325]

what a beautiful home you have!!!

[@dianadundidit5343]

A++++ Beautiful job beautiful apartment!

[@ladyjustice1474]

Holy crap----I've watched alot of tiny, DYI videos and THIS is amazing

[@TheBigBaryshnikov]

[@diamarisrodriguez278]

I just keep thinking about the rent fir these apartments...But overall these are beautiful, these individuals are talented designers.

[@MissKim--SP]

I love renter's ideas. even though I own I don't have the energy for big projects.

[@SevenDaysofStyleNY]

Gorgeous!!

[@jolaw6742]

You did such amazing work, it s soooo beautiful and creative and be such personality

[@oaktowndaddyg]

Thank you, Carly. By the end of the video I felt so relaxed and comforted (I know that may sound strange) by your presence and presentation of how you magically transformed your apartment. But I disagree with you, though, you are an artist.

[@di4085]

Very well done! Love everything you did. It's just beautiful. Like to Chair by the window with a small accent rug. Also like the brass fixtures including the door handles. I would have covered those air conditioners too I can't stand the book of the in the window air conditioners but I do like the floor units that attach to the window area. I'd rather not have them at all.

[@itscarlamcd3122]

What a lovely space, she did a great job making it feel cozy. They’re lucky to have so much natural light throughout. I suggest placing a large magnetic dry erase board (especially in the kitchen) or a cork board over the random brick squares. Or maybe a pegboard in the kitchen to hang utensils on. I like when the folks in these videos admit what DIY products worked and what didn’t.

[@laurae2489]

What a cute apartment

[@jacquelinelun4049]

Carly has great taste and she makes a little space big with her style and taste!!!

[@bluelot7546]

she is incredibly talented and should be a decorator

[@keys6]

One of the nicest homes I have seen on this youtube... excellent... and very homely....

[@lanaschnekenburger2736]

I love the brick wall painting idea!

[@roire]

It’s soooo beautiful and well done!!!! So inspired ❤

[@ketherwhale6126]

LOVE IT! ❤ you’ve done wonders with the space. Love your creativity and paint palate. So soft and airy. I feel like you’re entering a showroom - it’s that lovely. You are paying a seriously high NYC price though.

[@zibberebbiz]

I have to say I laughed at the wallpaper in the kitchen and the faux marble stickers over granite/wood, and the books turned backwards underneath the TV, and the "real branches, fake leaves" thing, which is all a bit silly, but that art piece in the living room area is actually legitimately incredible. I really love the Malevich vibe and the texture and composition.
