moving to nyc vlog 22. setting up my kitchen in my studio apartment, organizing dishes & unpacking

time to set up my kitchen in my studio apartment ! i am tackling everything one by one and this week i focus on setting up my kitchen in my brand new new york city apartment :) I do a lot of organizing, go for my first grocery run, ,set up all of my cabinets, and figure out how to make my kitchen functional & conducive to my lifestyle. i try and keep myself motivated while also having some fun breaks with friends with workout classes, a comedy show, and summer walks. it's a chaotic time but we get the kitchen all organized (and even set up my TV) !

any tips for organizing my kitchen (or fun decor ideas for it?!)

[@Billy33753]

Add dividers to give cabinets order. ... Use pull-out shelves. ... Rack and stack baking sheets and cutting boards. ... Organize lids with dividers. ...

[@LuciaCordaro]

@@Billy33753 dividers is a good idea!

[@cokedclassic7627]

@@LuciaCordaro I think you could get some plate shelves. The shelves in your cabinets are so high you could maximize your storage even more. If you are really interested in ideas I could go back through it and write down thoughts. One thing to keep in mind if you do store other things in there keep them far away from the stove where grease can accumulate. I had to do this is a studio I had I kept overflow linens and put them in storage bags.

[@saprwful]

Hi Lucia! Love your channel. Congrats on your new space. 🎉❤ If you have space in your tea drawer, I would suggest putting your zip lock bags, Saran Wrap, aluminum foil, etc. in there. It’ll be more accessible when you’re back in the flow of cooking and prepping. Just a thought. 😊

[@LuciaCordaro]

@@saprwful thank you!!

[@marlyndiazn]

If you haven’t already, I would recommend getting one of those shelves to put above your plates so that you are able to stack another set of plates on top.

[@LuciaCordaro]

@@marlyndiazn I didn’t even think of that such a good idea

[@samjosal]

I love your energy

[@LuciaCordaro]

awe yay im so glad! thank u!

[@lisabrooks178]

yay so excited to keep watching more moving vlogs! hahah watching you organize your items is so weirdly cathartic and fun hahha

[@LuciaCordaro]

yay!!!

[@Ingeborg-d3k]

Hey Lucia, the utensil at 20:52 is a Scandinavian cheese slicer. They make the thinnest slices from cheese blocks and I really like them on buttered sour dough bread:)

[@LuciaCordaro]

oh good to know!! thanks!

[@aishlingcarolan4826]

I just moved to Chicago from Ireland! ☘️ I’ve been following your journey since you lived in Chicago and I am loving your channel and this series so far! I’ve just settled into my apartment here and I am really relating to the chaos of moving furniture in, assembling it, setting up wifi, fixing maintenance issues etc. It’s a journey!😂 You are doing amazing!! Keep up the good work with this channel and best of luck in the big apple🗽💗

[@LuciaCordaro]

@@aishlingcarolan4826 omg that’s an awesome move! Hope u love chicago 🤍 hahah ikr it’s such a journey. Thanks for watching!

Laughed when you said Bob the Builder after building the black shelf thing 😂 keep the content coming! 💖

hahahah

[@lashingsofgaut]

Those two storage cubes (greenish coloured ones) would look good in place of a couch on this space - in the area you said you were going to put a couch. Would work as a great little seating/putting on shoes area in the room :) And then your cute pink mirror would look great on the left hand side of the tv (facing the kitchen area) so you can see your outfits etc :) it is all coming together so well, love watching :) xx

[@LuciaCordaro]

oo thats tru! yeah im thinking i might not have space for a couch lol

[@montystepura3689]

It looks like your upper cabinet shelves are adjustable. I’d suggest lowering all of your upper shelves to help you access things on the 2nd and 3rd Shelf.

[@LuciaCordaro]

good idea

Glad you are finally in your apartment. I hope you get some plants to put on your window skill to add a homey feeling. Maybe you can mount your T.V. on one of your walls so it will not need any type of table to place it on. A designer once said when you are in a small space with limited floor space you go up to the walls ceilings etc. There is an excellent Canadian designer, Alexander Gatoe and she has a KZbin channel where she remodels places and many are small studio apartments, you might want to look her up for ideas, she is amazing. Your kitchen area is looking good and remember mirrors will make a room seem bigger when placed in the right spot and will even reflect light back into the room when placed in a certain way. Look forward to your next vlog.

[@LuciaCordaro]

oo such cool ideas! i will def need to look up that designer thats super interesting. thanks!!

[@montystepura3689]

I love the Team AG Alexandra Gater channel. They do such a great job of decorating small spaces.

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Such a great first solo apartment!!

[@LuciaCordaro]

@@RebeccaABeaudoin ah thank u!!!!

[@claudiavasquez1368]

Great organization! Don’t be afraid of moving things around, you will get better sense of the kitchen as you use it

[@LuciaCordaro]

@@claudiavasquez1368 very true! Good reminder

Loving your apartment. So much storage in your kitchen. You are doing an amazing job.

All I can think of is the 'tubberware' clip that was floating around TikTok every time you say it like that 🤣

[@sarahm9772]

“It’s tupper babe, always has been always will be” 😂😂

[@LuciaCordaro]

LOL

[@jasminebozz]

ok Lucias looking strong!! 💪🏽

[@LuciaCordaro]

omg lol TY

[@KatieRamblesVids]

Lucia! I find that lavender essential oil is the best spot treatment for my hormonal acne. Give it a try! Best applied right after cleansing at night, before putting on your lotions and other skincare. But then I have to be careful to not get it on my upper checks, which are super sensitive. Make sure to try a brand that is reputable. I trust Doterra and Young Living.

[@LuciaCordaro]

oh interesting ive never heard of that! thanks

[@claudiavasquez1368]

The table you got works so good with your space 😊

[@LuciaCordaro]

@@claudiavasquez1368 ikr?!

You’re not just a girl. You’re not just an anything. You’re a savvy woman living her best life. Traditional Medicinals is an organic and clean tea brand, no pesticides. They have lots of different flavors to pick from and all of them have health benefits.

[@LuciaCordaro]

awe haha thank u! was just joking lol :) but oh yay ive been liking that brand!

[@Antdebby1]

Get some under counter lighting. I think there is some out there that is not too expensive.

[@debriley6642]

Sorry for my rude comments last vlog. Just hit me wrong and I actually acted on my bad mood. Keep up the good work and enjoy your life in NYC!

[@LuciaCordaro]

thank u!

[@israelbautista2623]

Buy the everything but the bagel seasoning from Trader Joe’s and sprinkle it on your avocado toast I’ll elevate it and taste so good!

[@LuciaCordaro]

i loveee everything bagel seasoning lol

[@taylorross116]

Make sure you get a security bar for your front door 😊

[@montystepura3689]

Where are you going to store your luggage. Maybe off season clothes could be stored in them.

[@veronicadebock6526]

There's a Trader Joe's 1350 Willow Ave. In Hoboken if that's any help then there's one on Spring st. closer to FiDi. I admire ur fortitude in answering the comments! U have a lot of stamina! 😊

oh cool! thank u :)

ugh they dont have too many in the city

Could you fit a small kitchen island with stools instead of the table, then maybe you could fit a small sofa in the room?

[@LuciaCordaro]

@@32446 that’s kinda like what I have!

Only because this happens in the midwest a lot and I had to learn, but for some reason people say "tuBBa-ware" but it's actually "tuPPer-ware". It's Ps not Bs!

hahah it must be from the south too
