MY CHICAGO APARTMENT TOUR !!

[@SignalHillHiker]

The editing on this one is chef’s kiss - love the glimpses of how you live in the space, the bite-sized tastes of the before/after change. Just really fun to watch. Looks great, of course.

[@AlejandraCerda]

Agree! The editing is so random and I love it!

[@bishopbriggsofficial]

THIS INSPIRED ME SO MUCH. YOU ARE AMAZING. Please decorate and redo my entire apartment.

[@st_1928_]

I'm obsessed with your music, your voice is brilliant! ❤

[@ninamorris8793]

Second!!!!

[@Andrew-jx1wz]

I love your attention to detail and quality and how each piece means something to you rather than just buying it because it's trendy.

[@alyssamarie54]

Your home is so LUSH. You can def tell a professional prop stylist lives here. Love how you’ve injected so much of your personality into your space. So moody and cozy. Well done!! 😍

[@rosehughes599]

The office /spare room is really neat. A lot of functionality in a small space. Painting the bed nook dark makes it feel more intentional and less "I'm sleeping in a closet! Agghhh!"Also love the shelves on the side wall inside the closet.

[@mayahurtig6459]

love the editing style but it’s really hard to visualize the space. felt like i was looking at a bunch of visually appealing up close pictures of the space but never really saw all of it put together

[@mayahurtig6459]

still love the video and your place! beautifully styled but you knew that already lol :*

[@jenniviiv]

Same. Too many close-ups and not enough panned out shots.

[@wendykarle3114]

Yes I want to see more and bigger picture although I did love the artistic close-ups very beautiful spaces

[@crossingjunipers]

She is literally painting her walls in slip dress. I live for this.

[@emilymarguerita2781]

Those wooden bowls are top notch. I love all of your little treasures. My house is filled with treasures and oddities and they bring me so much joy.

[@emiliemcnally7277]

The dark living room is perfect, we painted our living room a similar color and love it. Dark rooms are so much cozier than the typical bright white.

[@lauraandreeachelan6812]

I couldn’t agree more. I have set this up in my son’s room (walls and ceiling the dame colour). I would like to know what brands are you guys using for paints? Especially dark hues? Us and Europe please(based in Paris). I’m searching for brands available in France which are based on organic pigments as they are way much prettier than paints based on synthetic stuff.

[@hereforit2347]

Interestingly, it almost always works better in small rooms.

[@corneliastreets]

Dark paint looks incredible when people embrace the intimacy of a small space. I think brighter paints like in white look best when rooms are in that not-too-small-but-not-too-big kind of room size.

[@haleybrooke8243]

I know I feel so validated seeing how awesome and cozy her place looks with the dark moody colors. I love that vibe but I was super hesitant to furnish/decorate my place too dark bc it’s so tiny. I’m just in love w her style. Such a huge inspiration for me

[@kimhaas7586]

Depends on the white and the light. White with warm undertones, plenty of natural light and layers of texture can be very cosy. Fireplaces that work help too. I don’t think I could live in a dark and moody living room. It would depress the hell out of me. But it looks good and if your serotonin level can handle it, go for it. Looks really nice in Paige’s LR but then she knows how to make it look good.

[@heidimcdonough378]

I love seeing how you creatively solved some of those weird layout/limited storage issues. It’s great to see your design style at work!

[@robincivis9501]

Smart use of the vertical space in your condo. It's cozy and comfortable without sacrificing style. Your eclectic choice of art is really fun.

[@HighPriestess-x2e]

I absolutely LOVE your condo!!! Well done, Paige!!!! Love the moody bathroom, your taste in art, and the pillows on your bed. Oh, and the mini-bar is genius! Love your dishware too!!!

[@wasselpa]

:)

[@Cooqquu]

Literally had a tear in my eye while watching. This is the exact space I’ve envisioned for myself. *in all it’s small-space-configuring-joint-smoking-coziness-artwork-sharing-cave-curiosity-loveliness. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

[@PinkShips-h9r]

Love how you moved between each scene and filled them with actual real life vignettes - playing Talking Heads on the turntable, showing books you're reading/read, having something to eat/drink, genuinely laying on the bed, the artful camera seen in the mirror, the whole thing is very artfully done - love the slip dress scene. As an artist, I'm appreciative that you've shown real artists' works - rather than cheap prints, and I love the pieces you bought - especially the impasto red one . You artfully placed each flower in its perfect spot and yet they had weight instead of looking like fluff decor. This is the first video of your style that I've seen, I've subscribed because everything else has been flat, other than Lone Fox and Arvin - I love that Lone Fox uses vintage pieces and art too. Love that you bought the twenty dollar canvas from the guy dirty and all, I've done the same. RE the accordion doors, I need to check out newer videos to see if you put up something different. I was thinking of hanging a canvas from the ceiling, either with art on it, or a black and white photo. Something that you can pull a cord and roll down with weight at the bottom then roll back up.

[@ArtichokeHunter]

I love how you show the functionality as well as the things that aren't quite how you'd prefer.

[@rachell783]

I love how much care and thought you put into every room. It’s really cool to see someone express themselves through their home.. Thanks for letting us in. ☺️

[@senseofwonder4734]

Did anyone else die when the Goo looked at herself in the mirror? The best home accessory is the Goo. 😂 Seriously, love the apartment and the incredible design skill you have.

[@lenorezp]

Yes! That made me giggle 😃

[@hereforthevideoessays6399]

Plot twist: Paige looked in the mirror and realized The Goo contributed most of these design changes. This mirror scene is metaphorical. All Paige owes, she owes to The Goo: the pee marks on the couch, on the carpet, on Paige's friends. The Goo runs a prop design business and Paige is the human translator. Those silent intros from The Goo in every video are The Goo's way of setting the tone for the masterpieces Paige will show shortly.

[@StephanieGraska]

She did look like she was having an existential moment…

[@benthewarriorking]

What kind of dog is the Goo? I’m dying over how cute she is

[@cd2659]

It's awesome! My favorites are all the black you used, the kitchen tile grouted black, the books everywhere, the head board to your bed, the vintage cabinets in your office, and the accordion door on the guest bedroom. I think it just fits. Love everything. 🤎🤎🤎

[@wasselpa]

THANK U!! :)

[@natasha5215]

I love how you appreciated that mans art, goes to show price doesn’t matter if it makes you feel good

[@rachaelmaszk3512]

God I love this channel. There's so many channels with spaces done on a budget but no channels with actual designers doing them! It's also really helpful to see a styled home someone actually lives in...made me realize some of my expectations for my home are a little unrealistic. Anyway thanks for the vid your style kills

[@thomasmurphy7498]

for the guest room door: would be pretty industrious, but you could do a garage-door style pull down. since it's used as an office pretty frequently, I'd imagine you could leave it up most of the time anyway. i bet you could even do it out of white wood panels. could be cool! big fan of yours and loved the tour

[@wasselpa]

wow I love that idea!

[@amberdoll1125]

Um in love with that idea

[@kikunnn]

That is a dope idea!!!

[@alexmack8834]

I’ve seen small roll up garage doors intended for sheds that would be perfect!

[@snakonec]

I am so glad you filmed your work on this space over the years, it really added to the tour. Love this video, so well done. Love the space, it's goals.

[@corneliastreets]

Absolutely in love with your condo!!! The huge red canvas and floating nightstands from your bedroom and the ceramics in your kitchen inspired me so much. My parents have a ton of vintage Japanese and Chinese stoneware and ceramicware that I now want to display on our open shelves.

[@TheCarlaProject]

slim japanese screen for the accordion door situation? great video watched entire thing❤

[@ellesoho2615]

This was great! HOWEVER, my main CON was the framing of the video. I wasn’t able to really get a full scope of the space as everything was too zoomed in. You never really got to see any space from floor to ceiling in order to get a full picture of the rooms. Style wise it was really good! I hope you do another video going more in depth on some of your design decisions because you transformed a small, style-less, place into a really cohesive well designed home. Someone should film you doing this. I wanna see your AD home tour. But all in all 👏👏👏👏

[@wasselpa]

Love the feedback, thank you!! And yes, I need to get a wider lense ;)

[@hereforit2347]

I agree. But the shots of the little corners and vignettes were very nice.

[@Notesofcitrus]

losing my mind over how good this reno is!!! bless the KZbin algorithm today, your channel is a gem!

[@HallyPottel]

I enjoy how you just give yourself credit for what you did well instead of fake modesty. You really did an amazing job, so why not be proud and say so. :) Probably the best home tour I´ve seen!

[@Diana-sd9eu]

Paige I love your videos so much! I moved in my new apartment in July- my first one that my parents aren't paying for since I graduated. It's been so fun watching your videos and getting inspired. I've been working from the ground up furnishing/decorating everything. You helped me realize to be patient and find things I really love instead of buying stuff just to have. My place isnt finished but I know it will be worth it!

[@wasselpa]

that’s amazing!! thanks for watching :)

[@katilda2726]

I love so much about it! I agree we need wider shots to get the overall vibe of each space. My fave “moments”: 1. the blend of patterns in your headboard and pilllows. 2. Wall bar + pendants 😍 3. Living room side tables plus book stacks plus lamps. Also kudos for doing a dark “feature wall” in the living room that I don’t hate. Trying to figure out why it’s not annoying. Maybe because you also painted the architectural little build out from the wall that brings the color a little onto the side wall.. doesn’t feel so trendy. Can’t wait to see more. I’m hugely inspired to go tweak my house now.

[@MinnetonkaMari]

I love how livable you made your little condo. Having a study/guest room is Epic in that much space.

[@samtaylor9714]

Love it!! Your problem-solving skills and creativity is impeccable. I've always admired your unique taste in design and you've pushed me to go more against the grain myself. So glad you shared this with us it was such a treat!! well done all around

[@veryqun]

I was watching a lot of videos from the channel NEVER TOO SMALL. Your video with the no music and snippets of you using the room silently reminds me of that style, but you are more lively of course! Love it!

[@TytyandChelsea]

literally my favorite home tour i've seen on youtube. Your decor is so inspiring, I've watched this like 5 times already haha

[@wasselpa]

:)

[@maddalena5708]

Honestly mee too, at least, makes me feel cuddled..

[@lovev9904]

0:15 Yes, Owner: Condo and Renting: Apartment. Very nice decorations!!! Love it!

[@meaganmallen9315]

This looks amazing - thanks so much for sharing! For the guest room door, instead of a barn door maybe a sliding Japanese paper screen door?

[@vaderladyl]

That is exactly what I was thinking.

[@francoiselafferty-hancock5112]

Ooh love the pattern mixing in the bedroom with the cushions and the moody lighting in your lounge.

[@gozio]

This is one of the most interesting apartment tours that I’ve seen on here. Great space, dope edits and cool styling.

[@annammcn]

Obsessed with the Suze ashtray. After a road trip through France my boyfriend has become obsessed with it, and the amount of vintage Suze stuff we have in our apartment is honestly laughable. Thank you for such a lovely video!

[@Inanicaable]

Its super neat, suze means tears in a lot of Slavic languages so it’s pretty fun to have that written on an ashtray

[@talyabeyers]

I am so inspired! I'm moving soon into a smallish place with some weird corners and finishes. Most of them I'll have to live with for the time being, but I love your use of the space in your place. Lighting and wall colours also make such a difference - I am obsessed with your use of black on the walls and cabinets! I'll absolutely be watching again once I'm settled in.

[@ShadeLeeds]

Watching the 2019 footage is such a trip because I remember you posting about it!

[@wasselpa]

hahahaha only the og’s have seen those videos! they are now hidden but maybe I’ll make them public again

[@Zoeeemeow]

Watching your channel has helped me sooo much as i furnish my first real adult apartment. You have had such a deep impact on the evolution of my style and 🙌🏽 thank you 🙌🏽. LOVE that red textured art

[@wasselpa]

Ah! YAY!

[@cordeliablum3556]

I have a suggestion for the door to the guest room/office! I think a pair of old west saloon swinging doors would be such a unique and quirky essence to add to the vibe of the space. They're not to hefty that they feel so heavy and big within the space they're in and I feel it adds some funky culture. Along with this, these doors don't fully separate the room to the rest of the condo, leaving a more inviting feel especially when working inside the room. There might be some issues with privacy if you get a pair that are too small, but if you get some that are fairly long I think it can work rlly rlly well!

[@martyk4096]

Omg you could do French doors for the office/guest room! My mom found old vintage French doors years ago and installed them in our house and I still love them.

[@greeneyes1313]

The kitchen and guest bedroom were major creative accomplishments and upgrades. Loved all your selections! I loved the kitchen open shelving with the sconces above. I also am super inspired with that murphy bed action and have been waiting to pull the trigger to do something similar in our office/guest bedroom. You had me all the way til the bathroom. I'm SUPER impressed with your diy work in that bathroom. Like my god, what can't you do? I'd just be concerned about how dark it is. I like lots of light when I get ready in the mornings. Hopefully your renters also appreciate the moody vibes because it's definitely a *vibe*. Thanks for sharing your home with us internet strangers! I'm not brave enough to put my home out there for others to critique :)

[@jaynemccabe8701]

I loveee it it’s so moody and comforting. When I take baths I need my bathroom to be relaxing and that’s perfect for it. I think she just needs some around the mirror lights in there. I know it’s cheeky but when it comes to renting that place out that will be the best situation.

[@apriciasantos8681]

I love your home ❤️. I'm definitely "copying" your bar idea. It's nice to see a home with personality 😍.

[@happystamper62]

Your apartment/condo is just beautiful!!! What a transformation! I loved seeing all your designer touches, the fabrics, the art, the ingenuity of adapting to the peculiar spaces, loved seeing Goo, love, love, love the dark paint, the bathroom!! Loved how you formatted the video as well; I just really enjoy your videos and now we can all picture you in your cozy home, enjoying the fruit of your labors! Thanks for it all! :)

[@aalbor1]

Hi! I absolutely loved your editing style. It was perfectly imperfect! So nice to see someone on KZbin from Chicago as well, loved it.

[@zeynepnursozer]

Your place really reflects your taste. I was expecting to like it a lot, but I ended up LOVING it!

[@TheCrazyyashley]

I'm going to be that record dad, and say that I most certainly gasped with the way you grabbed your record with your bare hand hahah. Beautiful tour, I really appreciate your eye for design and authentic details that make a space feel like home. Love!

[@nadjak3410]

And candles near vinyl 🙀 haha

[@vcastwilson]

I came to say the exact same thing! Being of a certain age where record albums were like gold, it was common knowledge you NEVER, ever handled the surface of the disc. I always handle vinyl by the very thin edge and always put back in the dust cover and not directly in the album cover. But more importantly, your place is really nicely done. Love the Murphy bed/office room. Well done.

[@rmonson5002]

OMG Paige, I absolutely love watching your videos. You crack my sh!t UP! Your expressions are priceless. No fake crap with Paige. Refreshing change from the norm. And your home is as charming as you are. Ingenious use of space. I knew it would be good, I didn't know it would be THAT good. Can we see the floor you did in the bathroom? Imma rewatch, maybe I missed it. Yup, you have the chops to critique the hell out of celebrity homes all you want, IMHO. Oh, and can I have The Goo? I need a Goo.

[@wasselpa]

THANK YOU!!!

[@jenniferschamerhorn8168]

Adored your condo tour. You've got a great eye for decor! Appreciated that you were real and the tour didn't feel stagey.

[@josecora5623]

Omg I LOVED THIS. You have an eye for design for real. Its fresh, lived-in and it looks so easy to clean. 10/10.

[@oursimplestory]

Love this home tour!! We need more real home tours like this one!! Thank you Paige for opening your doors and home to us all!

[@samarneson9475]

i love how you took a deficiency-lack of light-and turned it into a total wow factor. the moody vibe is amazing. AMAZING

[@salliestephens1252]

I love your style. Well-done Paige. Well-done. You used your space remarkably well. It's cozy and a bit quirky (in a good way). Your art is fantastic too.

[@Lijo1988]

Love your condo! Especially that you did so much yourself, I am like that too 😊 two things though: 1. I hope the water wasn't boiling when you poured it into the matcha bowl (60°C is the correct temperature) 😉 and 2. hanging knitwear (even on clothing hangers) stretches them out, they need to lay flat 🤷🏼‍♀️ I kinda wanted to see more of the bathroom, like the flooring (only saw a tiny glimpse). Love your style, very cozy 😊

[@gracej9071]

Really love the video! It really inspires me to have more unique & curated items in my house. I rented house in similiar size (living in asia, the regular starting houses footage are around your condo size) and it often makes me can’t relate to american house tours because even though they are pretty, it’s hard to make it applicable in term of layout and composition of the room . But I feel optimistic for my house after seeing yours 😁😁 Oh and I love all of your lightings!!! Video idea : would love to see your favorite style for things that have more practical use like screen door, curtains, switches, kitchen n other appliances

[@Peinaj]

I love this, so inspiring. I've recently started embracing color and art and my space feels more unique and curated. The editing of the video is amazing. I really enjoy shots with no talking, just movement, environmental sounds with quick transitions.

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

OBSESSED 😍 and THANK YOU for showing yourself existing in your space!! such a pet peeve that no one else does this

[@samanthay7375]

Omg stopppp I used to live right around the corner!!!!! So fun to see what this building looks like on the inside!

[@colinebd4290]

Was binge watching The Sorry Girls whom I love and then your reaction video of Becky’s house pop on my feed. Was skeptical first about that brutal honesty almost…but yeah, definitely worth watching and your house tour left me wanting to makeover my entire appartement ! Loved it ! The tiles with opposite grout, the genius tiny office/guest room and all the moody atmosphere… just subscribed. Btw the Suze ashtray you have is a French liquor. Bisous

[@snaggledaggle7027]

Who are the Sorry Girls?

[@lenesvingel4450]

I suppose your flat is a good example of simple living😊. It shows that it’s possible to make a place a home with careful planing, creative use of what space is avaible and a personal, tastefull touch. What really makes your home is all the art pieces👌. And the vases with flowers placed here and there.

[@cvonsutphen]

*YES* . Paige, I love your space. I have embraced the dark and moody vibe in my home. Some small spaces just crave it. Your use of curtains on the closets adds softness and texture. Great flex space in the office/guest room. High five on the wooden bowls, I can't get enough.I'm 54, and my design style has evolved over the years, I've found my happy place. Thrifting and DIY have gotten me my dream home.

[@wasselpa]

THANK U!!

[@oeendrila]

your taste is almost immaculate already. imagine the house you'll own one day and how gorgeous that will be.

[@choirguy100]

So much respect for what you accomplished here on such small budget. Not everything you do is always to my taste, but I still enjoy it, and think it looks great, if that makes sense. Can’t wait to see what you do with your own non-rental place in the future. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@wasselpa]

thank you!!

[@shellisannes464]

There is something so beautiful about you, your refreshing honesty is the best part 🤩 I love your place. Cool sponsor, and seeing the different choices with the bathroom black tile, the Murphy bed, yay

[@ms.withakay5218]

I've been waiting for this, and I was not disappointed! Thanks for inviting me over!

[@wasselpa]

thanks for comin!

[@chloemcginley8275]

I love what you did with your place! Very cozy and detailed without feeling cluttered. And so many smart storage hacks! You should do more videos about small space storage.

[@susanma4899]

To replace the accordion door I'd want to do a shoji screen, but real ones are so expensive. Not sure if it's worth it for a place that you'll rent out in the future. Maybe just keep your eye out in case one comes up on FB marketplace or the ReStore, etc.

[@crystalfern1966]

There’s this video on my subscription tab just above paige’s new video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn6rYpWJqcqkoas I wouldn’t know what shoji is if not because I saw that video thumbnail 😂

[@LittleBit123]

This was my exact thought as well!

[@ShanaGlee]

Well done! I enjoyed your tour. All the rooms look modern, fresh and effortless. I really like your big red piece of art in your bedroom.

[@dianadriverasbury9130]

Just adore the bathroom. Well, all the rooms, really. Your taste is fun.

[@hereforthevideoessays6399]

Watched this one again to "pre-game" tomorrow's video. This was one of my favorites so far! Looking forward to your next talk, Paige 👏

[@hanajafar]

Been waiting for this video oooh. Happy coincidence that it was uploaded literally 7 minutes ago!

[@katielanedavis]

I have no notes!!! Loved your space and how cozy yet cool it felt. Thanks for letting us in your home

[@mollypro22]

Instead of that accordion door or replacing it with a barn door you could do a Japanese Shoji door

[@shandigridley8361]

So creative the way you styled and decorated. It's perfect. Also love how you edited this to show before and after. Your personality is refreshing.

[@amakaobanye9837]

Okay okay, this is literally my dream home! I love your style and how you renovated your space!😊

[@maunarose]

I love everything. For the accordion door thing… either some bifolds or if there’s room, hmmm... Not sure what they’re called, but they’re on a track on the ceiling (or floor if inside a closet) and they slide in an arc to open then lie flat against the wall. When closed, they slide back along the loop/arc and sit back inside the door frame.

[@camillalauriola1357]

I love how moody and cosy is your condo! Btw your editing and overall style kinda reminds me of the "never too small" series on youtube - If you haven't watched it yet I really recommend it to you! (maybe you can find a solution for the guest bedroom/office's door over there 😅)

[@gurrrrlish]

love LOVE... i am going to copy your bedside for my tiny beach cottage with no space - also the lighting by the bed solution - - you made it look easy ... i can do it.... thank YOU !!!!

[@curveappeal8180]

Ok i love what you did with your condo but why am I the biggest nerd ever? When you played the Talking Heads record and smiled at the camera I fucking smiled right back as if you could see me 😭🥸

[@wasselpa]

:)

[@aaronrdomanais]

i love the style of this tour. i appreciate those little moments where it shows you living in it I AM OBSESSED

[@elmembrenoid]

I'm so confused with what style of decor or living space I like. I love the moody colors of your home. They're a breath of fresh air from the white and light colors. I think I like this look more than I ever thought I would. It's so cozy and warm.

[@wasselpa]

I think the key is to mix styles!

[@ms.jadventures]

This is literally my dream home. I love it so much. Thank you for your service 😌

[@gypsy2496]

I love it, you did miracles with your condo, wish you were here , I'm up to my fifth gallon of pain just choosing the right colors is a pain in the buttt...

[@NdnUrbanCat]

Don't give up!

[@MynameisSabb]

I love how you renovated the condo, black is such an amazing color to work with and each and every room flows so nicely 💕💕

[@danielalozano2435]

Amazing!! there's that youtube channel called never too small. Hehe it reminded me of those houses. You should to a video reacting to one of theirs

[@rockyquinn3374]

For the guest room door.... remember those wood bread boxes with the roll down door made of tambour? I’d made a tambour version of that accordion door. Just tambour slices cut to the length of the doorway.. glued to a flexible backing like a fabric or something similar. Rolls down or rolls to the side to close

[@lyddyc9830]

Your a smart girl,buying at 26 and renting it out for a bit of income! You did an amazing job!

[@lindylee1139]

My favorite is the Murphy bed and office. Love the black paint makes a cozy sleeping nook.

[@AndreaS-xp6op]

Love it! You have used the space really well and have come up with some great storage solutions. Great job!

[@Bleigh1584]

I loved the family room, and how you mix textiles and the mix of art! So inviting and tells a story. Love!

[@KamandaHickey]

I was ready to criticize but something happened…I loved everything 🤩 You even made me reconsider the open shelves in the kitchen (I usually hate them ) 👍🏾

[@1234OopsyDaisy]

I have an almost identical kitchen and I have been putting off a revamp because I wasn’t ready to commit to a cabinet color.I think those cabinets in black look great with the black handles and fittings ! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@victoriasweet7870]

Nice! I love the dark vibes. I’m currently searching in the Chicago area. Do you recommend this neighborhood?

[@wasselpa]

[@greeneyedlady7290]

I like your taste in lamps. Especially your Gerald Thurston for Lightolier table lamp. The whole place looks pretty great!

[@kelpnoodle]

i came here fully ready to criticize given how critical you are of other spaces, but the JOKE'S ON ME because your condo is incredible 😭

[@wasselpa]

; )

[@rudywroobel]

This is so good. I love your solutions for small space you came up with and moodiness of whole space. As for the bedroom doors I think you could just go with the same type but nicer or maybe use those two wings, folding in the middle (bifold :) ). There are closet doors like it.
