Moving into My $2900 Dream Apartment | Small Business Diaries

[@pluvvio]

what a gorgeous apartment!! for some reason it reminds me of the quote i saw on tumblr, "Someday I will have my own place. My world won’t be confined to my room. I will stumble sleepily through the house in the morning, opening the blinds. I will sit out in the backyard and look at the stars. I will go out whenever I want to. I will survive long enough to have that."

[@WhaChuUpTo]

wow, this just made me realize I'm exactly where this quote described and gave me a gratitude moment. 🥹

[@mogwai247]

Don't thank us, Tammy. You did that all yourself! You need to take all of the credit for that apartment. YOU DID THAT!

[@Besztaczka]

YES!! I agree!:)

[@FatimaSiddiqui-cy9df]

Yes u r right she deserves it

[@akyilrana]

we are her costumers though 😉

[@pluvvio]

yes!!

pls consider the view from your windows when recording and be safe!! no hate at all, love your content and art

[@smkpluto]

I was about to say that too. the internet isn't as safe anymore.

[@diddlybop]

Yes this! Other youtubers have been stalked this way :(

[@maisyleigh]

Omg Tammy your new place is gorgeous!! Congrats! 😊

[@tammydinh]

aww thank you so much Maisy! i’m constantly looking at your own cozy space for inspiration 🥹

[@stephenmgarcia69]

Obsessed with all this natural lighting! Don’t be afraid to go bigger with furniture! You have the space! A bigger tv console, with the tv mounted (could even do a bigger tv) with shelves on both sides rather than above with help bring the eye up and show off those high ceilings and will give more shelf space for decor and most importantly..plants! With the couch pushed back slightly, an accent chair or two for additional living room seating and a rug to ground the space! A table/console on the backside of the couch can add great surface space and additional storage, table top seating depending the console style. Floor to ceiling curtains would be such a statement and so grand even with them open and pushed to the sides of the windows. A white linen would be so airy, soft and dreamy. Imagine windows open, and the curtains slightly swaying from the breeze. I have so many ideas and thoughts, I could keep typing lol 😂 would love to send pictures and examples and talk design inspo with you 🥹🫶🏽

[@stephenmgarcia69]

Also, a custom wall decal, print for the closet doors would be gorgeous! Or peel and stick wallpaper 😊

[@ZivGinger]

A quote I think of often is “Don’t kill the part of you that’s cringe, kill the part of you that cringes”

[@AzuCeramics]

Hello Tammy, as a ceramicist i can't help but say : please please please, move your potter wheel in your studio if you can, it's pretty bad to have fine clay dust around where you will eat ❤

[@tammydinh]

ahhh so true!

[@katandiefiddle9657]

​@tammydinh hello! Another ceramacist here! Silicosis is no joke. It may be worth considering finding a location that's more isolated and easy to ventilate. I'm sure you already know to wet down any clay you want to clean up. Like they said above, keeping the dust down is really important long term. Hope this helps! You're an inspiration! Take luck!

[@chrissyobermeyer1139]

I was just going to say the same thing as well! I don’t think he would want the clay stuff and dust around your food. As well, it probably would be more protected in your studio. And you’d have more moving around space in the kitchen area.

[@marquise5265]

the way I gasped and said "Oh my God" as soon as I saw the thumbnail! Giiiirrrlll, congrats! The apartment is stunning, I'm so happy for you❤❤❤

[@TinaLeder]

Crying in LA😭😭 THIS place is so ✨CHEAP✨ yet a ✨DREAM✨ with those HIGH ceilings and natural LIGHT!! *drooling* Great find!!

[@riri_williams3193]

Wow! Not to rain but I have a 4 bedroom house for less. I mean, how much is a two-bedroom apt in CA?

[@loseweightwithmealplanning]

Cheap?? They seem to be ripping us apartment owners off $2900 per month that is wild! But its the windows for me 😍😃😃

[@creationslandscapedesigns]

[@scavenger9345]

you're not cringey at all! You're an inspiration to us all and should be extremely proud of yourself. Congrats on the new apartment 💖

[@TheCosmicGranola]

There is something called PhotoTex paper. It is made out of fabric and it is sticky in the back. The adhesive is so good that it is made to be removed and restuck on many places and it doesn't lose its adhesiveness. It doesn't damage the surface you stick it to. I have a roll of it and I cut out and placed a whole panel of it on my sliding wardrobe doors like the ones you have in your studio and I paint and draw on it and then change it every year. It makes awesome art surface and you can reuse them and stick them anywhere you choose to or keep them on there forever. Highly recommend. YOu would love drawing on it.

[@eekahhsatelier]

dear Tammy, i've watched your channel since your shared apartment (before you graduated) and i think you're one of the most inspiring creatives on youtube that i truly admire. it means so much just to see your world through your lens, and you simply embodying the word comforting. you've taught me the importance of storytelling in one's characters, so that others may find comfort and perhaps live vicariously through them, as well as being truly authentic to one's interest and personality, even if it may seem "cringe" to others. everything you embody shows on your videos, through your words, video edit, soundtracks, and even comforting silence. it is as though im watching a Ghibli film with the use of 'Ma', which is the intended silent moments/pauses of a developing story. it is like describing one's early 20s and you've brilliantly captured it in your videos and works. despite your hardships, they have rewarded you with wisdom and a mind full of possibilities, and i look up to you for that (despite being the same age c:) A year ago i decided to share my silly art journey (after falling out of love with it) here on yt, in hopes reaching people through my art. It has been 8 months since i'd taken it seriously, and had recently reached 5k amazing people who i'd never thought would find my work/journey interesting. you taught me that though imposter syndrome does get in the way sometimes, it becomes so rewarding after pushing through. you may never know who are rooting for you from the other side of the screen and I can only thank you for that. your weekly uploads of simply sharing your journey has been so comforting, it is like a reminder for me to keep going. bringing us along in not only moving into your first apartment but also second makes me feel like we achieved this (but really, its all you girl 🥹) your humbleness is endearing and your honesty is so refreshing, you truly are the best kind of human. i simply cannot wait for what's next in store for you 🫶 much loves, eekahh 🌷

[@sierrareed11]

I started tearing up when we got to your studio space...you've come so far!

[@veronicacanaveira1068]

Im so happy for you!! How deserving of you 🤍 Super proud. For your office, you could always fill it with a lot of mirrors to reflect the light that it does get, and make the room look brighter and bigger. Can’t wait to see your videos in your new space.

[@Seszera03]

Seeing how far you've come, not only in your own self developement of being less camera shy, but in your own brand is making me so happy! You deserve all of the goodness you're getting and its joyfull to compare where you started when i first found you to now in a new apartment growing and shining!!

[@paigenorton2024]

Velcro Command strips to hang things on your closet doors! Life changing. I use them on all regular walls too, for big/heavy frames I just put a strip on each corner. Gorgeous space! Having a beautiful, comfy space to work and live in is SO SO important. Congratulations!

[@ApshanaDhakal]

Hi Tammy, I am also a first generation immigrant. I started my KZbin channel about a year ago and started looking into starting my own small homemade candle business this summer. Your videos have been extremely motivating throughout my process of researching and prepping. I relate a lot with what you talked about at the end of the video and I just wanted to say thank you for the motivation ❤️

[@LittleKikuyu]

Isn‘t Tammy a second generation immigrant because her parents immigrated? Or am I confusing something? Just trying to learn 🥰 Wish you all the best for your business journey 🧡

[@emisunwell9318]

Gurl you should not be thanking anyone but YOU. YOU made this happen through your hard work, caring and positive outlook, and kind soul. It is SOOO beautiful!! I love all the windows and can’t wait for the plantsssss ❤❤❤ you deserved this!

[@VictoriaDioko]

yayyy can't wait to see the apartment more decorated! it has so many windows and so much sunshine. woo. crazy stuff.

[@NicoleDeAngelisArt]

I love your new place! I wasn’t going to say anything but you said to leave comments if you have suggestions. 💝 I would not suggest putting shelves above your head. It is important to have a free uncluttered space above while you sleep. It will bring a more peaceful sleep. Much love 💕

[@JJRWolff]

Thank you for creating this community! You inspired me to start filming my own journey with dealing with anxiety and trying to get back to a more comfy state 😌, and upload them to KZbin!❤

[@JuliesseJamael]

I just found your channel recently when I got fixated with clay and ceramic. I know nothing about it but I wanted to try them one day. All of your design is so good and the way you hone them, it's not a beginner skill but rather an excellent one! you are so good! I love the vibe of your videos and how soft-spoken you are.

[@emaurri]

Hi Tammy!!! Been watching for about a year now! So awesome to see your business and personal growth in that time frame! Watching your little vids and vlogs always give me so much inspiration. I always wait to watch them for those mornings when I wake up and feel like I don’t want to go through the motions of the day. So thank you very much for the beautiful content and I can’t wait to see this next chapter and where you’ll be a year from now!! 💕

[@CarrieLemieux]

Congratulations! It's a well deserved, hard earned, beautiful space. For hanging framed pictured on the doors, 3M velcro strips are amazing. They have different strength/weight bearing options. I use them everywhere in my house to avoid holes in the walls.

[@cherisnyder7346]

Sweet Tammy! It is NOT cringy to be proud of yourself! Shout it! The only people who think it’s cringy are those who don’t have success and are envious. I’ve been following your work for years and I’ve never once cringed lol ❤❤❤

[@susanharkema2888]

Oh Tammy...it's so beautiful and so you! Those windows and the space and light. It feels like home. Congratulations!!

[@DennySMUA]

I am so happy for you, girl! 💓 The new place looks amazing and I am sure you will def work the light thing out in your studio and you wil find a way to make it even better. Cannot wait to see it! Wish you lots of amazing moments and creative project in the new home. I rly enjoy your videos and I am a big fan of your art and your whole vibe. Sending you lots of love from Bulgaria! ❤

[@anna.02.10]

15:03 thank you so much, I will take this video as a sign. I have been thinking about starting to create content for years. Now I'm thinking about it again and this is the sign i needed to start.

[@KassieMayhew-w9o]

I am so happy for you Tammy. I suggest walls sticky lights, they go around the trim at the bottom of the walls, causing a glow effect. Also if you add twinkle lights within your plants it could help the studio!:)

[@catthe8744]

You are so sweet and talented, Tammy! I enjoy watching your videos so much and you made me wanting to create my own small business too. For now it’s just saving money and planning but I’m so thankful to you ❤ Love you and wishing you all the best and also to everyone who supports Tammy 🎉

[@lilee1376]

I can see why this is your dream apartment! The windows, the light colored wood, the 2nd BATHROOM!!! You deserve it and more.

[@WhaChuUpTo]

I could not be happier for you Tammy! THis is such a milestone and it's been a privilege to watch you overcome so much over the years! You're a huge inspiration to us little awkward creatives and I can't wait to get UNCOMFY with you in this new space.

[@jl6523]

Slowly becoming my fav content creator -- and I'm a (black) tech entrepreneur. The peace and zen, and humble/quiet confidence centers me.

[@nicknmhere]

I love it! It's so cozy and at the same time it screams that an artist is definitely living there. I love it for you and am so happy for this next step in your life! Just be careful about where you record these videos, cuz people can see outside the windows! Also, don't forget to always make sure the furniture inside the bathroom is waterproof, because it's a damp place, wooden furniture or even mixed with cloths can easily mold or get bad over little time! Sending lots of love from Brazil! 🥰

[@TwistedZepher]

I am so happy for you! It has been amazing watching your journey and seeing how far you have come. I wish you nothing but positive vibes and many happy memories being made in the new place c:

[@leonieet5820]

this apartment looks like a dream😍😍 the windows, the floors, the kitchen and the appliances in general look so warm and inviting

[@rylsbie_mcgee]

You could get temporary wallpaper for the closet doors in your office to add some color or a pattern. Or it could be a scribble wall where you can draw out ideas or do a mural on the temporary wallpaper. Congratulations on the move!

[@carolyn888]

I'm so happy for you! You've earned this. I aspire to be able to get myself to a point where I can be self-sufficient again. Thank you for sharing your journey with us as always. 🙏

[@chrissyobermeyer1139]

What a beautiful space! I think one of the things that I would suggest, is a rug in the living room area to warm up the space of it. And possibly a lower coffee table.

[@kaizen_5091]

The light through the windows is stunning and that alone makes that the place worth it. What a great spot. Congrats.

[@Photohog4]

Congratulations on the new apartment. It looks beautiful. Decorating takes time and doesn’t have to be perfect the first time around. You’re allowed to change things and let things evolve. For the sliding doors you could look into removable wallpapers. The right pattern or tone could be a great accent in your studio and really warm up the space. Good luck and most important…HAVE FUN!

[@justmyopinion4938]

It looks amazing. So inspiring as I would love to have an art work space in a beautiful apartment like yours. One thing I would say, just so you have balance, is to move the clay wheel and your supplies into your office. That way you can close the door on work and hobbies and just enjoy your apartment.

[@sandie157]

The natural lighting is fabulous

[@hyrumolschewski8301]

For the doors in the office, you may want to consider a couple of magnetic strips for hanging metal posters, and metal artwork. It’s not very expensive. It doesn’t look like metal at all and there’s a ton of places that sell metal posters now they’re also generally super lightweight. And of course, you can always change them out anytime you like that’s one of the advantages of them being magnetic.

[@charissconsul]

I am so so sooo happy to see you succeed, Tammy!!! I feel like a distant friend and seeing this makes me so proud 🥹 Can’t wait to see you create new memories from this beautiful apartment! ❤

[@gabrielabeltran5297]

SO EXCITED FOR YOU! I have moved three times in the past year (issues with apts) and it is sooo stressful. I wish you a quick mental recovery after this move and great vibes! cant wait to see how you decorate it and how your new office space turns out!

I love the windows....makes the whole place so open, big and bright It always takes time to move in, believe me I know how it is with moving and unpacking stuff...it gets overwhelming but you got this gf, very proud of you finally getting to this point in your life. Can't wait for more videos....really am enjoying it :D

[@Dadidudedo712]

[@rebecavillarreal8914]

Hi Tammy I really enjoy watching your videos they bring a sense of comfort, as for suggestions i think you should buy some whiteboards to write out goals, or todo lists, maybe plan out new ideas you may have for your business. As for the sliding doors your create a collage with things you hope to accomplish in the future, etc.

[@valentineclk]

I'm so happy to see this. I've been following your journey and it's truly so inspiring for me when I run my own business. I sell polymer clay earrings at local markets and sometimes people asked "do you know this girl name Tammy on KZbin?" and yes, that's always a start for us to get into a great long inspiration conversation. It all starts with you Tammy ;). Thanks for all you do and your encouragement and effort in putting yourself out there. You're an inspiration for many others.

[@EstherGalea-p9e]

you've been my inspiration the whole time I've been doing clay. I've been eagerly waiting for this video for weeks. Every day id go and check KZbin, and finally I get to see you're new place! so proud of you!!! thank you for being the amazing person you are.

[@riannongrubbs4231]

This is such a beautiful place and it’s so amazing to see your success and hard work pay off 💕 also it makes so much sense to get the oven just for your pieces idk what your oven situation was before but it’s like a pretty nice piece of equipment to ensure product quality

[@TifaHeart]

Tammy keep going! You deserve it! I love the apartment! The windows are everything! So bright, so warm.

[@journalwithjas]

Beautiful apartment! Congratulations Tammy! So happy for you! One thing I always did with closet doors (that weren’t mirrors) was take them down (hide them somewhere) and hang curtains! You can use a tension rod on the inside of the closet or attach hardware to the outside. If you are storing supplies you can have the curtains open during “working hours.” And if the storage organization serves as part of the aesthetic, it will make you keep them organized and clean because it’s part of your background shot when filming. Things out of sight and hidden usually stay chaotic because no one sees it 😆

[@jessicasibilla9256]

Congrats on moving out! This apartment is beautiful, You're one of my favourite youtube volggers, I can't wait to see some more clay sculpting, your videos are very relaxing and fun to watch! Thanks for all the inspiration Tammy x

Congratulations! You worked SO hard for this. Keep up the great work! I hope that you are very proud of yourself as I understand anxiety will try to downplay achievements.

[@ClaudiaJasalavich]

I would be careful about the placement of shelves for plants. For example, I would not put a shelf on the wall directly above the head of a bed in case of earthquakes, or in my case, cats who like to climb. I also do not hang framed art with glass above the head of my bed. I don't want anything heavy falling on me. I have a beautiful embroidered appliqued Hmong wall hanging on that wall above the headboard. It is decorative and less likely to cause injury.

[@cherrykeri]

I agree. As someone who lives in a country where earthquake is way too frequent, even if I lived at a place where it isn’t I’d do it just for precautions. You just never know. Better be safe than sorry!

[@amywoolsey6591]
