THE VOCALS BE HITTING THE NOTES IN THE ECHOEY ROOM! GO MAI

[@alenidvelez5166]

The first lamp exactly where you put it was absolutely perfect. The big floor lamp you put in second brings the visual weight down and the first lantern lamp created the most beautiful visual movement in the space because it was the perfect height!

[@korifaith008]

samee but like idk what to call it

[@M-L350]

i love watching these but sometimes i wish i could tell u, as ur trying to figure out what things to put in a certain place, u don’t have to fill every space up!! like under the mirror or on the nightstands like it doesn’t need to be fulllll there’s beauty in simplicity and u have such amazing pieces but when there’s too much stuff it’ll never be satisfying idk that’s just me tho i love how it looks tho too

[@maiphammy]

I like clutter tho hehe it inspires me when I have things around me

[@sierradrinkwalterxo]

I think she commented that because you said “Theres so much going on in this brain, the last thing I need is clutter in my house” 😂

[@lime1791]

THE GOLDEN HOUR IN YOUR BEDROOM IS JUST A VIBE. honestly like going through a low myself this gives a hell lot of motivation to just keep going and moving on ur an inspiration mai.

[@WAHHHH-uu2mc]

watching mai while doing makeup/skincare/hair/self care = girlhood

[@cris84]

omg im watching while i do my skincare to get ready for bed!!

[@Sura77]

The green and gold nightstands fit so well! I was yelling through the screen for you to pick them😭 but like your interior designing is SOOO good!!!

[@christinanaomii]

Sameee hahaha

[@taliw7736]

Totally a vibe

[@Docnuna]

I love how she used everything she had already. She doesn’t buy new stuff for a makeover. Alsooooooo this is your best bed room glow up/makeover ever!!!

[@Favs649]

Didn't she buy Indonesian doors

[@Docnuna]

@@Favs649 she did but compare to other influencers who would buy tons of stuff just for a makeover. What i love about her is that She doesn’t influence us to buy a lot of stuff or spend a lot of money just for a makeover.

[@rits075]

Honestly I'm obsessed with the whole vibe rn THE ROOM SCREAMS YOUR NAME aghhhh can't wait for the whole house coming together

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv176]

ur penthouse glow up series are literally my inspiration for my upcoming college dorm and apartment afterward too. i’m planning ahead for all of this I LOVE IT.

[@HappilyEmily]

The mirror was a good move, the light from windows hits it directly and makes the room look more bright and cozy. The night stands with the gold elements was such a great move to also brighten up the room I'm literally obsessed!!

[@oliviaflaker4453]

these videos have legit helped me get motivated to actually clean, like DEEP clean

[@lilaa7178]

The doors openign to the mirrorr is geniusss omddd im so happy as a canadian that u are being reconised

[@Panwithnoplan42]

Mai has the best vibes, I love watching her videos when I’m sad or need motivation. Packing to move and love having her videos on, it’s like I’m on ft with a friend ❤

[@Emilia_159]

THE VOCALS IN AN ECHOEY ROOM, AND THE NIGHT STANDS BEAUTIFUL, love you Mai

[@luciana_ap]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW GORGEOUS MAI'S SINGING IS????

[@user-ob5ei1wk4d]

I've noticed in past videos that you'd say "now you're gonna click off this video" or "now you'll unsubscribe" whenever you'd have crazy energy, lemme tell you, that energy is the reason I watched the video till the end, love it

[@peyton5540]

Just because i have been saying it all week, “Save money, live better”. So excited to watch the new vid!! I love that you are glowing up the bedroom!! ❤️

[@scubachef99]

Mai I love that you are both literally and physically reflecting in front of the mirror. When you started writing in that clip it looked so good

[@Lalli_xox]

omg yes girl bring back your pinterest board love getting inspiration from you, and you should do a podcast i love you talking its so satisfying, and omg mai you sing so good you have a beautiful voice love how the room turned out🫶

actually love the doors and how you put them with the mirror! looks so good

[@hnichole]

This was literally exactly what I needed. Just the immediate "how are you doing, like how are you actually doing" right off the bat hit hard. I'm also 21 and about to go into finals week at uni, but my family is making a sudden, last-minute trip this weekend to visit my grandmother. Long story short, she's been unwell and is expected to pass away soon, so we're all leaving first thing tomorrow to get on a plane to say our goodbyes. Even before this with my grandma, I was in exactly the same blah place as Mai where my brain has been tricking me all week into thinking my anxiety has come back, but like no, I'm fine lol and the feeling just won't go away. I love cleaning/organizing videos and I love getting 30 minutes of Mai, so not to make this overly serious, but for real, I'm grateful this video came out when it did.

[@Whoseoluvia]

IM SO EXCITED EVERYTIME MAI POSTS!! ❤❤

[@ohotter1797]

Mai's videos are so caotic and calm at the same time and tbh i love this energy

[@astridthefangirl]

I love how you have all these furniture pieces in your house just ready for a room redecorating

[@melissaharati]

I cant wait to live in a penthouse in nyc when i get older

[@Houry247]

Architect here: your bed is at the worst spot it could probably be. NEVER PUT YOUR BED TOWARDS THE WINDOW. You'd know when you wake up with massive headaches. And what is better than laying in bed and having a view to a wall in front of you? No. Put it bach to it's original place. Have your sitting area by the windows. Have view while drinking your morning coffe on the sitting area.

[@et0oo]

Well it’s her room and what she likes and makes her feel peace and at home is what matters. Plus she has floor to ceiling windows in all of her apartment, maybe she gets tired of it? Who knows

[@Houry247]

@et0oo nah, the window at the back of your head causes health issues. It's a big no no.

[@maev_8927]

@@Houry247what kind of health issues :o

[@maysobiedat2807]

I agree i loved everything else but she also tried filling up the empty wall she created making the room kind of too crouded since she already has a filled corner, a wall with big colorful doors, two tabels beside her bed, huge plants.

[@scottwatson8656]

Great Job MAi !! Hate to. See your Mom go. She is such a good sport in helping you do so much and never seems to mind. Kudos to Moma Mai. By the way, Mai you look great throughout this whole video. Keep up the great work Many blessing to you and your family

The custom glass was such a good idea!! Even after protecting the top, it also adds a kinda nice elevated look

[@yoselinreyes2645]

I kinda of stopped watching your videos for a while, but then I came across one of your vids so I decided to catch up on everything I've missed. It's now 1 in the morning but SO WORTH IT!! this series made me clean my room that's been needing a deep clean FOREVER.

Honestly I never comment on videos but Mai I watched your video about journaling and manifesting and now watching you organize your penthouse is so inspiring. It really motivates me to focus on self care and reflection. You’re so incredible, I love your videos so much!!! (And you and your mom are so cute)

[@R_account248]

First of all wow!!! Everything looks amazing. Iwould recommend u try switching one transparent window to a stained colored glass. It give such a great vibe and ambiance to the room! The colored shadows with the sun would be so magical!!!Love u and the room so much!🩷🩷🩷

[@Dragonswyng]

you know the guy on the clock app who yells for you to wash your rice? that's me rn with your sheets lol. the vibes are chefs kiss tho

[@24dj]

This is why interior designers exist 😭

[@elio257]

it looks amazing !!! my two cents is I would put that white sofa you had in the corner of your room by your bathroom to replace the long sofa that youve put diagonal from the windows because it definitely fills that corner a lot better and the sofa creates awkward room from the sides since its too long. I also genuinely like how youve filled that blank wall where your bed used to be.

[@marzyd8042]

I am literally obsessed with your aesthetic and this room🙏🏼‼️

[@elasofiaquintero8175]

I don't know if I'm the only one but instead of relaxing me, Mai's decorating videos make me anxious, I don't know, I despair at how indecisive she is and things like how she had already organised and decorated the livingroom and now it's a mess again with a bunch of random stuff pisses me off

It worked out really beautifully, a Mai oasis. And most importantly if you find it peaceful and comfortable then you hit it out the park. You really found some beautiful pieces online and at markets-those doors and side tables ❤ I love buying timeless pieces with history on auctions and online, so I love everything you got, cause it’s wonderful to mix contemporary, modern, vintage and antiques together and make it aesthetic.

[@naturegpower]

I didn't expect how much this video would inspire me! Your room looks amazingg & seeing your whole thought process gives me inspo to not be so caught up about how a room (or anything) "should" flow but to just do what feels good to me.. and to not get caught up on all the details before I even start. I tend to get anxious about needing to know the exact outcome, which keeps me from starting anything. Love this! Thank you!! 🤍
