MOVING VLOG | £1150 West London Flat

[@sammyetc]

Uuuurgh I wanna be your friend!! Your style, your taste in art, your vibe, I love it! I cannot wait to have a place of my own and decorate it like this, it’s so classy but cosy… just the best!! 🩵

[@laryodaily]

Your apartment is incredibly beautiful and I love all the pieces you've picked! The carpet, the sofa, the round shelf (and its placement in the room), the lamp and the art... just perfect 🫶🏼

[@sarahconnell]

Thank you so much ! I took so much time to choose everything so I appreciate it a lot ! 🤍

[@orinandemera]

Just subscribed, I think you deserve more attention, your energy, your style how you carry yourself🥰 such an inspiration. I will be back here for more for sure! xo

[@sarahconnell]

Ohhh thank you so much Orina ! It’s messages like this that motivate me to film more ❤️

[@billiehicks6587]

Came across your Channel/Vlog on Saturday, February 24, 2024…❤ You have impeccable taste and style…❤

[@sarahconnell]

Thank you !! I much appreciate your compliment, and your finding and enjoying my channel ! 🥰

[@nancyh1990]

Oh my, it was so funny when you installed the rails on the top of the drawers instead of the bottom 😆 When it comes to drilling furniture, doors are the bane of my existence. Anyway, so glad to see how the place is coming along.

[@sarahconnell]

I had to make a mistake 😅 Thankfully the holes aren’t that visible ! I haven’t had to install doors yet, happily :p

[@paintlikewater]

Accidentally found your vlog while working :) Enjoyed the home decorating videos, and you are very pretty!

[@sarahconnell]

Heyy ! Thank you very much :))

[@sarahconnell]

Ohhh thank you Maria ! I love this, it’s much appreciated ❤️

[@loretaf1540]

New subscriber here! Really enjoyed the video, very calming and comforting. And also as an interior designer I liked the choices that you made. Ps the view from the living room is amazing, can’t get enough.

[@sarahconnell]

Hey ! Thank you so much ! I appreciate enormously ! :)) Literally, the windows and the view totally got me to sign the lease !

[@TheJennyCollins]

Loved seeing our old flat's little cameo!

[@sarahconnell]

Ha ! Yes !! It was a great one, when no mice were involved :)

[@sarahconnell]

Watch the end of my other Moving Vlog (part two) for more nostalgic feels 🥺

[@neykamarie6181]

New subscriber here. You were in my recommended. Stay consistent on KZbin!! You'll get there girl 🙏🏾

[@sarahconnell]

Hey ! Thank you Neyka 😊

[@EmisFearGuitar]

nice video! i love your vibes and you gave me a great tip with the sims :) i was supposed to moved out of my place in zone 1 this coming spring but i managed to extend my contract for 1 more year. I'll definitely go for the sims simulation when the time will come. Best of luck for your career! you got yourself a new subscriber ;)

[@sarahconnell]

Hey ! Thank you Emis ! I swear, the sims are a game changer ! It’s just so hard to visualise when you have an empty room otherwise. Don’t forget to write the cheat bb.moveobjects to not be restricted :p !

[@EmisFearGuitar]

@@sarahconnell good shout, will certainly do! ;)

[@federicocalafuri6409]

love this video, I've just move in a new flat in London and was looking for some ideas, maybe I should ask you for some advertise :) Really a nice flat and the arts are really an incredible touch! Well done!

[@sarahconnell]

Thank you Federico ! If I’d have an advice, it would be to not be afraid to take your time to find or save for the right pieces of furniture - that is if you know you’re going to live in that city/country for a while ! Otherwise, to know what you prioritise (comfort, aesthetics, sustainability) and plan accordingly will help in the making of an idea-board for each room with their vibes and inspirations/examples from brands. Perhaps you’ll find something second hand or vintage that looks alike, or even perhaps an expensive something will be on sale at some point, so stay alert :)

[@federicocalafuri6409]

@@sarahconnell thanks for your advise, I own you a coffee :)

[@akosuakoranteng3327]

Hi Sarah, thanks for the great video! May I ask what camera you used to film this?

[@sarahconnell]

Hello :) At first I used a Lumix with a 1080p quality. I can't remember the model exactly, I think DMC-GX80K. Mine was old so the stabilisation was non existent. Perhaps it's not the case of newer models. From 18:21, I started to use my iPhone 13 mini, in the 4K 30fps setting.

[@akosuakoranteng3327]

@@sarahconnell Great, thanks so much for the response, appreciate it ❤

[@jsmith5509]

This is a very nice space!

[@sarahconnell]

Hey ! Thank you :)

[@danaslx]

hey! could you please share the name of the website/app you used to design the layout of your flat? 😊 love the video

[@sarahconnell]

Hey ! It’s just the sims :D

[@lsaye]

I moved out of a studio apartment into a 1 bedroom flat, still have not bought much living room furniture. I gave up . A studio apartment is awesome until you move into a bigger space, then you have to spend time, money and anxiety to figure out what works. sidenote - you are a good storyteller - authentic, you should post more.

[@sarahconnell]

Haha, yeah ! I loved the process though, mainly because I believed that I would keep everything forever. Had I known I'd have to sell it all so soon to move abroad, it would have been an entirely different story. But yeah, parts of my flat felt empty for a good while. Some still kind of do. sidenote - thank you :)))

[@lsaye]

@@sarahconnell for sale? Are you selling the art pieces as well?

[@sarahconnell]

​@@lsaye No, the art was made for me specifically so I won't sell it. Most of everything else, yes.

[@lsaye]

@@sarahconnell ah that's fair, well if you change your miiiiind, haha joking... Thanks for inspo. I'm now gonna go rug shopping.

[@sarahconnell]

@@lsaye Arghhh, find a good rug, and the whole room looks amazing ! Have fun :p

[@cassidyhalpin2983]

I don’t know how you found those rent prices in London. I can’t find anything under 1900/month. Such a steal girl! Wow!

[@sarahconnell]

It is. It was in Feb 2021, so the covid crisis was still reflected in the price. Now with the inflation and the energy crisis, it’s a whole different story !! My friends who are currently looking for a flat are truly struggling and sadly my landlord isn’t being responsive to them taking over my flat :/

[@BarsaThapa]

this is the most beautiful place I have ever seen! is this place going back in the market soon? cause wow honestly I want it.

[@sarahconnell]

It is ! I'm moving out on the 8th of Feb. You can DM me for details if you want :)

[@khensk]

Are you from Netherlands?❤

[@sarahconnell]

Hey ! I am not. I’m half British and Nigerian, but I grew up in France, so it makes a hybrid of an accent :)
