Girl always hang your curtains as close to the ceiling as possible!! It gives it a much more elevated look!!

[@morganunraveled]

I’m a simple girl. alexis posts a new episode of moving in nyc and I drop everything.

[@alexiseldredge]

and I love u for that ❤️

[@morganunraveled]

@@alexiseldredge live for these videos, love how you share the journey 🌞

[@sueleeg3215]

Same. I was mad I didn't get the notification. Also you don't talk to much and I love your sarcasm when you do! I'm very excited for you and this move. Kudos for all your little builds you are doing. I do not have the patience for that.

[@dieboervroumariette]

Love the moving series. Pro tip for full house moving is to add a letter for each room and a number on each box and then list the contents in a book or notes app. For example "K" for kitchen "B1" for bedroom 1 etc and as boxes comes in the door it can easily be sent to the correct room. No box chaos afterwards. Learnt that from moving 16 times in 8 years. Yep you read that right. My mom and I had a crazy few moving years... Learned a lot but I have had it with moving... lucky enough to have not moved for the past 14 years of my life. 🎉

[@comfyera]

That's such a great tip! And wow that's a lot of moves!

[@alexiseldredge]

that’s such a good tip!! will use this in the future, sorry you had to move so much I’m glad you have been settled now haha

[@bree8150]

I am in awe of your ability to easily visualize how you’re going to furnish and layout your room. You have such a precise and artistic eye!

[@alexiseldredge]

I try to hahah but still working on it

[@SlavaBelchenko]

The new place gives off such better vibes! I don't know why. I just love seeing you being so enthusiastic about it!

[@christinaruiz4183]

How did you choose who got which bedroom? And why did you choose your room instead of the office? So excited to see it all decorated! ❤

[@kathygarnett5115]

Good question!!

[@alexiseldredge]

I liked that there were more windows in my room!

[@sfields99]

I'm so looking forward to see the process and end result. The new place has so much potential!

[@alexiseldredge]

it does!!

[@Billy33753]

Love the. Lighting of the new place

[@alexiseldredge]

me too!

[@suelyons531]

I have two of the Ikea mini lawn chairs and I think they are hysterical. Friends who build furniture together are friends for life! Fun vlog!

[@MerriannSherwood]

I love that your mother told you to keep an inventory of your boxes. I have moved 20 plus times, and thought I was a pro, but my favorite pans disappeared during my last move, despite trying to watch the movers closely and hiring a company with "extra care" in their company name. I decided after that I will try an inventory system next move. Looking forward to your next video. Apartment hunting and moving videos are my favorites.

[@iajes9650]

Watching this video right after finishing my weekend shift at Ikea Stockholm 😅

[@alexiseldredge]

omg no way

[@comfyera]

As a fellow KZbinr who's also moving it's been so fun to watch your videos! Watching you go to IKEA and eat the meatballs made me feel so nostalgic! I haven't gone to IKEA in so long! And I love the items you got! The little chair to hold your i-phone is so cute and unique!

[@alexiseldredge]

ikea is the best!

[@itscarolinemary]

Best of luck moving! I'm excited to see how you two decorate and anything you buy for the apartment!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

The pink vase is adorable!

[@mansoor3159]

I really really appreciate all your work that you do for us, Alexis. You are one my favourite youtuber in the world Keep going🥹💗

[@Simplylakesha]

Very cute merch! Can’t wait to see your room finished, I am liking the color of the wood! Ok boyfriend yay for you!

[@chi2om]

I missed the boyfriend talk. Glad to hear you have extra hands. It’s been a couple months and I feel like I’m still moving myself lol

[@MitchenerHalferty]

I love you so much! I recently just found your kislux and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

[@Ann-cx3dd]

Good luck with your move, Alexis!

[@Lisajuneh]

Hi Alexis! Im absolutely loving your vlogs! So happy for you!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you so much!

[@JustSheik]

I love the merch!! I want it! Especially that cup. 😮 Okay now to continue the watching.

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Love a good moving vlog! Can’t wait to see how the girlies transform the space

[@Watchover09]

I love these moving vlogs!

[@abbysteinhauer5384]

SPRINTED to this video

🤍

[@ruthharris6783]

They are both cute. I would definitely buy the bag and cup

[@RuralRiverRamblings]

Always❤getting a notification that you have posted!!❤❤

[@wilmalawrence7953]

I want merch!!! I would buy those!! Happy moving.

[@berleysd1935]

Alexis! I don’t know your vision but I can kind of see it. Put the cube on the other side of the desk than you originally intended. It’ll act as a little divider floating wall. Do you know what I mean?

[@alexiseldredge]

this may be what I ended up doing 👀

[@berleysd1935]

@@alexiseldredge indeed it was wasn’t it! Great minds!

[@BrendaBrown-nl1rp]

I think the merch perfectly fits you.❤️

[@rak7293]

Been going to ikea since the 1970s and I’ve never had their meatballs 😂 they looked so good. Excited to see how it’s all going to turn out in your new apartment

[@MeltedChocoChip]

Moving is the worst! I feel sorry for you having to move every year. That being said, there is nothing I like more than a series of moving vlogs!

[@nathalie5064]

New subscriber here 😉 Love a moving vlog (been moving myself a lot in my life). I also really like Ikea :) Nice with the kallax in "wood", I only have white and dark brown options in my country... but it made me think of maybe going to the ikea in the neighboring country (since I live not so far from a border) so thanks for the idea 😉 Good luck with the move

[@victoriaadams2171]

Congratulations on the new apt. 😊

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!!

[@NopeNopeNopetyNope]

Definitely please keep your rainbow rug - it's my favorite thing you own!

[@alexiseldredge]

I think it’s going in the living room!

[@NopeNopeNopetyNope]

@@alexiseldredge Oh thank god!

[@silvinhabruno]

Another moving vlogs I love! And with IKEA run 🎉🎉🎉🎉. Loooove IKEA. About the merch: adorable but maybe the design in the tote can be a bit bigger or bolder so we can see it clearly? I’d definitely buy one.

[@frombrisa]

Wait!!!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!!! I’m not gonna lie okay, I haven’t watched your videos in hot hot hot minute. I’ll watch one maybe once a month, it’s not you swear! I haven’t been watching KZbin that much at all tbh. But anyways. Boyfriend???? AHHH lol I really missed a whole book 😭 lol anyways that’s all

[@itscarolinemary]

If you ever want to spice up the kitchen, you could replace the kitchen handles with pretty knobs! Easy rent friendly hack 🧡🤎

[@alexiseldredge]

yes! planning on doing this!

[@nickeysanders7084]

YESSS LETS GOOOOO! *take this as my official preorder for drink of choice*

[@nickeysanders7084]

since you requested feedback: for the bag I feel like "It's so good to so you" would be my preference because I feel thats what I hear you say (atleast in my head which is quite possible) vs good to see you feels cut short. on the other side of the bag (if it doesnt cost extra for two sides print) -- I'd love your signature -- same for mug. I like having the merch knowing which creator I supported when buying it -- not that I would forget -- but it just feels more special to me!

[@alexiseldredge]

I like this feedback thank you!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Alexis how are you happy Sunday afternoon and this was amazing video I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

[@endurence2005]

Curious did you drill into dishwasher? Also they make cool thin rolling shelves that you can potentially fit into that void space next to the dishwasher to use as a “spice rack”

[@alexiseldredge]

I attached it to the cabinet attachment part, mostly did it to make sure my cat doesn’t get in there haha

[@iiMadaa]

i think if you move your curtains up to the ceiling it would be better.

[@bigenesis]

I'm so excited for you! I absolutely love Ikea and wish we had one up here in Saratoga County New York!

[@ListedInTheSouth]

Thanks for letting us know about the IKEA family discount. I just signed up 🤑.

[@Eli_Arch]

I'm so ready 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

[@aliceinhysteria]

love your moving vlogs!! 🫶🏼 it’s fun seeing your thought process and how you make this new apartment home!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!! 🤍

[@BootsBauer-tq4uu]

Love the glass w/ cat & book w/ straw, will need that if you ever choose to sell merch

[@alexiseldredge]

yay!

[@m_here1]

I grew up on BJs in south Florida. It’s not as common here either and we had Costco nearby but my mom liked BJs more. So, the BJs clips brought back some memories.

[@charlottecusson6838]

The tote and the mug are so cute 😻🥰

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@PHREYDUM40]

Omg,your bedroom is as big as my entire tiny house!

Oh how I love this!!!!!

[@alexiseldredge]

yay!

[@ShroomAndMoss]

I love this series sooo muchhhh So cosy, yet interesting I love a good ikea/moving haul hehe. Is there any good option to shop second hand in Nyc ?

[@clareking4434]

I feel your moving pain, I've moved 14 times and it's always a last minute nightmare 😂😂

[@alexiseldredge]

yes no matter how much you plan most gets done last minute hahah

[@dianebaker5243]

Hopefully moving goes well for you.👍🥰

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!!

[@bethanyacrey8940]

What made you pick the narrow bedroom over the spare bedroom?

[@alexiseldredge]

more wall space, better windows and I liked the closet layout better!

[@BootsBauer-tq4uu]

You’re smarter than me I just panic duct taped the gap between my dish washer and the floor when I moved in and saw a roach crawl out from under it 😂 gotta love NYC

[@alexiseldredge]

LOL nooooo

[@karin9373]

Is the new man camera shy? Or I get it, you are just keeping him all to yourself 😊 like last year I am getting stressed about your last minute packing. I would have been packed and ready a week before 😂 not sure what that says about me.

[@alexiseldredge]

I just want to keep my relationship private! And I am such a moving procrastinator haha

[@MayWonder]

I went to Ikea today! I wanted to get the makeup organizer.

[@katerina9159]

Ι dont know if you've already answered this but why don't you make the office your bedroom and vise versa?

[@alexiseldredge]

I liked the windows and closet layout better in my room!

[@carolynoquinn4573]

I'm like you, I like to look at the Kitchen vignettes at Ikea.

[@alexiseldredge]

it’s the best!

Where I live, BJ’s is a restaurant lol I was so confused at first.

Wow, seriously just gain 3 thousand more subscribers in last 3 days? Awesome

[@amberlejones]

Oooooo boyfrienddddddd 🥰 *so sweet*

[@SobujRhum]

All dat kislux bags sssssoooooooo gorgeous

[@debredhead9199]

Your kitchen cabinets are plastic laminate over MDF (basically compressed sawdust). The laminate of your front lower kitchen cabinets are chipped and peeling. Once they peel, water gets in there and will cause the MDF to start swelling. You can’t fix it, your landlord should have replaced them. I’d ask for them to be replaced, along with any others that are chipped and peeling.

[@smarifuzzaman7050]

Congratulations for your new apt. N boy friend

[@DickieZaf]

I have a Chanel lambskin square pearl bag and a Chanel handbag but my lambskin square petal bag I have worn 2 times and I am very careful but somehow still has small scratches on the leather and the gold on the clasp. I don’t know what happened but I paid over $3,000 for it a few years ago and I am upset that it already has scratches. No one notices now but I notice the price I paid for it. I’m saving up to buy another luxrul bag now that I won’t be paying full price anymore.

[@AlohaDeannaLynne]

Curious because I have the same vlogging camera…. Is it easier for you to hold your mic? Is it uncomfortable for you to clip it on? Thanks for sharing your life and I love your content!!!!!

[@alexiseldredge]

I like the sound quality better when I hold it sometimes!

[@dianaballard2629]

So very cute!❤
