My minimalist creative studio

[@Catherine-xr6dr]

Congrats on baby number 2. After your last video and the impact of a 10-month non-sleeper, I thought your son might be an only child. You've got this!

[@mattdavella]

Us too. Been recovering since 10 months and in a much better position now.

[@HughBurgessSinger]

Having watched Matt’s videos for years this feels like a more intimate insight, he opens with showing us how happy he is about his table with wheels. If that’s not Dad energy I don’t know what is. Matt if you see this, I hope you’re well!

[@BasicFolders]

...are we sure Natalie didn't just kick him out and this is him situating himself in his new place...? 😂❤❤

[@Lisa-Maelee]

🤣

[@Catherine-xr6dr]

I swear to God, that's what I thought for a while......or that based on his last video that they didn't survive the stress of new parenthood. So glad that is not the case. 🤣

[@Bluerig-qf2xc]

Always good to have a backup plan.... I mean a "creativity space"

[@Terra.Chifilyonova]

hahahahah

[@SeriousKarol]

Even though he has not stated as such, That is the vibe so far.

[@simonvutov7575]

Mat. The vibes, the productivity and creativity, the coffee. What a time to be alive, thank you for coming back!!!

[@Bluerig-qf2xc]

Dude just made a batchelor pad and called it his "creative studio"

[@mattdavella]

Yooooo 🤫

[@AaAa-je5eo]

Dope as hell, Matt. This feels so natural in terms of your youtube production and expanding on the old podcast and so on. Been watching you since waaay back, and can really say this update is just how I'd hoped to see your stuff develop from back then. Great work man, looking forward to the pod.

[@edwardoverthere]

As someone who finally built an ikea bookshelf thats been sitting on my floor for the past three months, i'm impressed with how this came together in one week.

[@TheEvelynTurner]

I admire the foresight in knowing what is needed to maintain a healthy work life balance. Natalie will also appreciate a few hours shut eye in that bed!

[@shaununderwood9040]

It’s great to seeing you creating again Matt!

[@andreabrazzale5680]

It's good to have you back. I'm an Italian Fan and I've been following you since the beginning. I like your studio and your contents! Good luck!!!

[@AngusWest]

Your minimalism documentary changed my life, literally, in 2016 in Boston in the theater. Anyhow, love Australia and your new stuff!

[@MichaelBTech]

"She Comes First" shout-out was wild but legit a good one. Seriously fellas. Get on it.

[@WellWithHels]

The space looks great and so good you can use it for family too 🙌 Congratulations on baby no. 2 as well! x

[@Notless]

Congrats on the second baby! I've been loving the Three Rules podcast, keep it up!

[@Joakimcomicscenter]

Love the energy in the new videos, even tho you might still be a little sleep deprived.

[@Summer-ov6kj]

What a time to be alive, he has to justify explain every single move he made for his workplace which is free from screaming babies, i just feel guilty feeling in his voice which again its what the social pressures make us feel. Constant explaining of why he needs a quiet place! As if people who work in an office have their wives and kids around them 24/7 😂 its just a workplace and im sure if Nat wants to get away she can just go chill there as well

[@mertvekendisi]

Really happy for you mate - hope this baby will bring you and your family peace and prosper!🎉 Hope this one will sleep more too!

[@masajerkovic2647]

So excited to have you back.

[@JamieFenn]

Love the new space. But you need more plants :)

[@mattdavella]

I have FOUR fake plants. I don't have time to take care of any more.

[@xzibitern]

Bro missed 7:53 :D

[@francis_n]

Get snake plants they're hardy AF, you barely need to water them or even remember them and they last ages and look great!

[@whatsupyoutube3786]

This is your workplace. It’s just like going to work everyday. You can’t really stay at your home, as your home is a place for your family. The previous set up made you stop working. And we are glad that you are back. You need to sustain the monetary value of your channel, which is for your family. This is where you do the best! I am a mom of 5, and I support your endeavors! Hugs to Nathalie for being so supportive likewise.

[@davidrinard5467]

So good to see you and hear all of the things you’re up to. Pumped to get into the podcast. Your bonus content was so relatable. Thanks for your vulnerability. Dad of one with another on the way in a month! 😅 Your content is so inspiring and is making a difference. Well done, man.

[@fennakooijmans]

Loving this cosy and homely video to kick off 2025. This multi-purpose place/studio is SO cool👏And huge congrats on the exciting news!!💛 The sofa bed is brilliant. You can consider to add a bamboo mattress topper when family is visiting and then store it in a vacuum bag when not needed. It makes a huge difference in comfort. No idea why I felt the need to make this suggestion, haha but here you go 😅

[@kristalmccready]

Congratulations to both of you on your bun in the oven and your new creative space! How exciting! Great way to kick off the new year! The studio looks amazing! Super excited that you’re back! YAY!!! Keep it manageable and focus on family/ life/ work balance - one day at a time. You have a gift. Thank you for sharing it with the world. Best wishes for your family and continued success. :)

[@musicart2007]

Being at home with two kids while my husband chills in his bachelor pad would be difficult. I won't lie. I'm glad Nats stronger than me, bc I couldn't do it. 😂

[@bens_deutschkurs]

Yeah, another one who appreciates INTO THE WILD 🎉 The Soundtracks are my daily drivers when things are bad for more than 10 years now.

[@kewlstorybr0o]

Welcome back 🎉 And grats on the second child 🥳 I'm also in the dad game for two months now and I can somewhat relate that you only have a fraction of the time to get stuff done 🚀😂

[@sheryllilke657]

Very nice space. Hoping your wife also gets a quiet, kid-free space to work on her own creative projects or just chill.

[@AgatheWiesner]

I love the art 🐸

[@lucy.loo84]

Omg 😀 Congrats on baby #2! I know the feeling b/c I had mine 21 months apart. You got this!! 👍🏽

[@juliakoch625]

Oh. Jess. Congratulations! And after your last video I recommend you to organise support! I felt a lot what you were talking about and I hoped you wait one or two years to the 2. one. We got the second 16 month ago and it is more than doubling. Sorry for this directness. It s just ❤. I couldn't imagine before. (It will be a lot of fun as well. )

[@takethisoath]

Wish my apartment would look this good! Great job and nice to have you back!

[@karolzigmunth5784]

Creators dream! Good to see you back and working hard on the videos!

[@JUSTINBUISSON]

love to have you back, nice content

[@TheMennomilist]

Oh wow. Your kids are going to be close in age, and that is wonderful. My first two are 22 months apart but yours will be less, though that is fun too, even with some of its challenges. Congrats on your little bungalow area.

[@Quintis1000]

Good to see you again Matt! I missed you! 🤙

[@MichaelHeredia]

Such a sick space! So stoked to see you so excited to create again too. Happy New Year dude!

[@salyndalindyhogsett2804]

Fridge unboxing ASMR with a side of office tour, 10/10 :D

[@zahntron]

Go to a framing shop and get a 4x4 piece of museum glass. It’s super clear, anti-glare, frame glass that you can rest on top of the coffee grinder and you can still shoot the grinding without a lid. Just hold down the sides!

[@harlleybh]

Thanks for being back

[@tani8503]

loving the new 3 rules podcast .

[@mattdavella]

Thanks! :)

[@wordmusicpicture6575]

Congratulations on baby 2! I burst out laughing The way you slipped that in conspicuously. 😂😂😂😂 Congrats to you both! You’ll be fine! 👍🏽

[@musicart2007]

He had a whole video about why he was getting an apartment lol

[@justin.sondermann]

I am so happy seeing you back here again! And you seem to be in a very good place rn. You’ve always been a huge inspiration and I wouldn’t be where I am rn without watching your content. Thank you very much Matt! I hope you’re reading this. Great to have you back mate 🫶🏻

[@zamnicp3564]

I love your studio, Matt Minimalist and so beautiful

[@teachloveinspire561]

Wow! You are going to have your hands full! Congrats!!!

[@lisathomas6139]

Absolutely love the space, I feel so chill now 🙏🏼

[@osamahmurad7408]

I like the idea of having your own space to practice minimalism. Adding indoor and outdoor CCTV cameras could be a good idea -just a suggestion!

[@EndlessTravels]

The "UNBOXING of my FRIDGE" Love it

[@marlonantonioherreramontoy2860]

This video makes me fell comfortable and that I appreciate the organization of your studio. I recently graduate from collage and I hope to get something similar one day c:

[@joeeeeeeeeeeee]

you could put a small plant pot in that thing next to the sink even tho its meant for soaps

[@kylecresswell0478]

More fridge plastic ASMR in future videos please. Also this place looks like heaven

[@TheLegendaryKuru]

7:54 "All of the plants in this house are fake, because I just can't deal with more responsibility" 🤣 I feel this deeply.

[@antoniocirino8444]

Have a separate office is very usefull because you can divide your private life with your work life, and not being stuck in a routine based essentially on your home.

[@adoyizao]

Never Too Small x Matt D’Avella collab!❤

[@rachl8400]

I was genuinly a little worried at first that this was your new space because you and Nat didnt make it through all the challenges of being new parents. But then you said youre expecting another baby!! Congratulations!

[@shadowcat1010]

I do like the chairs a lot. Look comfortable

[@HomeWorkouts_LS]

5:28 Renting a whole townhome/apartment and still commenting that it’s small?? Come on… yes a lot of people don’t even have a full room as an office. An employers just give like a 5 ft wide desk 😬

[@messy2mastery]

I absolutely loooove this! So simple 🙌🏼

[@valdiarief]

Matt we have the same exact fridge 🔥

[@jonasgarcia4728]

Is it weird that I saw the bonus video first? Anyways, loving the content as per usual Matt! 🎉

[@David-ue6iq]

Great to have you back Matt 😘.

[@andreabarto14]

I missed you , happy you are back. I live in Sydney hope to shake your hand one day wish you the best

[@shomraskin1607]

I love the style video! you should do more on the small things in your life, like Your Wardrobe and do a video on how you keep your wardrobe neat and what kind of clothes you have.

[@willsheridan6981]

Man, I loved the ground up show back in the day, looking forward to the new podcast!

[@Atomicfog]

Nice chill video. Pretty neat setup. I wish you kept the lighting from this camera for the podcast so that it looks like your guest is well-lit. But yeah, anyway, this seems like a pretty cool place.

[@JeffreySeanHoward]

WOW! Amazing project just saw the road map. I am in it for the presale 🌟🌟

[@davidnmiers]

Great space! Congrats on the growing family.

[@Clashuchan]

What an absolutely beautiful apartment. I'd love to live in it.

[@khalilmchiche5907]

Congrats❤

[@husan_ismoilov]

The bio pf the channel is hilarious. That made my day 😅

[@zach_in_black]

It's funny because right when I saw the first frame of the bathroom I was like "I freaking love that frog picture" 😂

[@JF-cq6tr]

7:44 that shelf is to hold a framed picture of The Rock.

[@arielfriedman7989]

Lol removing fridge plastic asmr is the best

[@PilotPerkins]

Got to have your own space! I plan on building out my own office van.

[@BenFung]

Very sweet space! And congratulations on the second child.

[@ayeeeannieee]

Yay Matt! You’re back!!! 😊

[@JasonCasey-mm2zc]

You can buff the scratches out of that desk with a hand sander and a little elbow grease. Nice set up!

[@anthonywilliams9415]

Congratulations!! That's a nice setup. Congratulations for the upcoming baby as well.

[@mattdavella]

Thanks :)

[@MarkelBeverley]

Oh hellz yeah. This is the Matt I've missed.

[@anahidelrio5003]

on board with cholula being the best hot sauce.

[@AbduB]

Matt is back 🤩🤩🤩

[@JuanDiazPalma]

The frog artwork is the best item in the studio

[@neumanity]

He’s back 🥹🥹

[@John_Lilley]

Way better, bro. 🙏 Expecting lots of awesome content.

[@robinrobinson4644]

Congrats on the the new baby! Also, I love your area rug. Are you able to share info on that as well?

[@chigyver]

Aye aye aye! Matty Boi becoming a true Aussie now!

[@peadar-o]

Baby no.2?! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[@amandasmith5590]

You need to try some Fish River Roasters coffee beans. Hub blend is the best coffee on the planet!

[@shadowcat1010]

I totally wanna go visit u guys so bad!!!!!! I've got some friends over there too 🎉

[@jaiskullz]

so happy youre back!

Good To see you back! I thought you'd given up on us.

DISCLAIMER: This is a long comment. “Your specific knowledge is the knowledge that you care about. It’s the knowledge that makes you excited. It’s the thing you do that others find hard, but you find easy.” ~Naval Ravikant When I first stumbled upon your channel a few years ago, I was struck by the aesthetic of your space. Whether you were in the States or Australia (I’ll set aside Airbnbs, as I don’t know how much control you had over those interiors), it was always spacious, simple, and inviting. Initially, I thought you were an interior designer by trade. But now I know you aren’t-though I must say, you have a natural flair for it. From your new home to this new studio, I’ve always been delighted by your attention to detail and your obsession with making a space both pleasing to the eye and functional. I think this sensibility has even influenced the aesthetic of your KZbin thumbnails and videos. Perhaps your wife is the one behind the decorating. Whoever it is, I hope you consider venturing into interior design outside of KZbin. You have a gift that isn’t given to many. Maybe THIS is the sign that 2025 brings you. 😉 ~From one dad to another Note: the only thing I wasn't fan of was the “dark room.”

[@jefftroidvania]

Cholula is a solid go-to for sure

[@andrei.bogdan]

Congratulations on the new baby! I am following you for quite some time as I am a fan of minimalist living myself and I was curious to see how you handle this while also being a new parent. I am a father of two kids myself, and minimalism is not something you would think of when seeing our house just because I am alone in this style of living :)). My man cave however, or... studio is as simple as yours and it's the only thing that keeps me from going mental. :)) I am curious though how the rest of the house is during a normal day for you guys and if you ever get frustrated that you can't keep up with the cleaning process. I ocasionally find myself cleaning too much and relaxing too little which kind of defeats the purpose of minimalism.

[@AnalogLife01]

Glad you are back, Matt. Always loved your vids. Which make of iPhone charger are you using on your desk?

Was just about to ask the same thing. It’s so minimal, was looking for something like it as well.

Funny enough that frog painting was used as an album artwork for an Australian band called Feedtime. Check them out!
