My minimalist studio

[@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!

[@Bluerig-qf2xc]

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

[@mattdavella]

Yooooo 🤫

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@simonvutov7575]

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

[@shaununderwood9040]

It’s great to seeing you creating again Matt!

[@AndrooJeanPierre]

You've just lived hell with your first kid. I just can't believe you've decided to have a second one !!!! OMG

[@mariaz7459]

Came here to see if someone thinks that! Cause i totally do😂 I had a kid 2 months ago and though it’s not at the Matt’s level of difficulty child, i’m 100% sure there won’t be a second one😂 Why would someone with depression and a wife with ptsd decide to have another one?!

[@AndrooJeanPierre]

@@mariaz7459 Thanks for commenting, because, unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Matt won't. Over all, I just don't understand how people still decide to have kid at all, nowadays !

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@Louis-AlexandreMonfette]

I have been following you since almost the beginning and it's so awesome to see that you're full of energy and energized about your work. It's especially inspiring in the context of your last video. I have always loved the asthetics of your videos and the studio represents just that. It reminds me of the OG appartment. Keep up the good work Matt, I can't wait to listen/see your podcasts there. I think the guests are gonna love it !

[@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.

[@joeeeeeeeeeeee]

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

[@Joakimcomicscenter]

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

[@Notless]

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

[@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. :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@ibrahimvelasquez3874]

3:28 Cholula in the fridge. Now that’s new to me. I just keep mine on the coffee table in my living room 😂

[@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.

[@takethisoath]

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

[@ayushkhanna1996]

Since moving to Australia, you are looking more and more like Glenn Maxwell. Cricket fans can surely relate.

[@Quintis1000]

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

[@WellWithHels]

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

[@karolzigmunth5784]

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

[@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!!!

[@JUSTINBUISSON]

love to have you back, nice content

[@franklinsilva446]

Very good Matt, I missed your videos and I'm glad you're back, I'm Brazilian and your videos help me learn English better. Cheers to you and your family!

[@harlleybh]

Thanks for being back

[@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. 😂

[@zamnicp3564]

I love your studio, Matt Minimalist and so beautiful

[@visakhafee7209]

i love, i love that you are back and happy to hear that you are doing better and that you have got your inspiration back. hahaaaa and it was so funny to see you going inside the duvet. no, at our home we don’t do our 🛌 in such a way. wishing you lots of happiness and positive energy 😊

[@emijes1]

Love the space and wow to doing it in a week! I am happy you are back! ❤

[@teachloveinspire561]

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

[@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.

[@Alekkd]

Great setup, very wise to choose a 1 bedroom apartment to use for guests and business write offs ;)

[@EndlessTravels]

The "UNBOXING of my FRIDGE" Love it

[@tani8503]

loving the new 3 rules podcast .

[@mattdavella]

Thanks! :)

[@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 😅

[@lisathomas6139]

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

[@lucy.loo84]

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

[@julzli68]

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. )

[@NobleDistortion]

Just got news on my new one.. it'll be 19 years between my eldest 🤯

[@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 🚀😂

[@DanJacobs]

Love the new space, Matt! I Exciting to see that Sydney is your primary home now. Hoping to bump into you someday 🙌

[@David-ue6iq]

Great to have you back Matt 😘.

[@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

[@MarkelAnderson]

Matt ain’t slick. My boy ran from the mood swings 😂😂😂

[@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:

[@messy2mastery]

I absolutely loooove this! So simple 🙌🏼

[@iamkevinkouassi]

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.”

[@MichaelHeredia]

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

[@jonasgarcia4728]

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

[@392torn]

8:10 caught me off guard 😂😂😂. Love it!

[@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.

[@kylecresswell0478]

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

[@sirenblog2583]

Ultra cool Man cave - studio - guest space 😊

[@shadowcat1010]

I do like the chairs a lot. Look comfortable

[@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.

[@alliepruett1094]

I had two kids under two… they are now 2 and 4… you need two because they entertain each other but shit doesn’t get easier until they start school…

[@sheryllilke657]

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

[@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!

[@NoContextOasis]

Next video: I got Divorced - My side of the story.

[@andreasdelaware]

You almost got it bro

[@laygossom2655]

It makes sense hoping he pulls through

[@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.

[@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" 😂

[@adoyizao]

Never Too Small x Matt D’Avella collab!❤

[@ayeeeannieee]

Yay Matt! You’re back!!! 😊

[@AdamfFranka]

A genuine human.❤

[@JasonCasey-mm2zc]

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

[@AgatheWiesner]

I love the art 🐸

[@JF-cq6tr]

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

[@dianamechsheryakova6065]

So happy you’re back! I did notice you were missing bwt😂😁

[@dtiffany218]

Don’t burn yourself out. Don’t feel like you need to create for us. Take care.

[@davidnmiers]

Great space! Congrats on the growing family.

[@AP-lp4yf]

Congratulations, it is amazing 🎉

[@ClarissaMartel]

The big elephant in the room ! I need to ask the question. Where is from your into the wild art print in your podcast area !???!??? ( congrats for baby n°2 ♥️ )

[@BenSullinsOfficial]

as a fan of coffee myself, and after a recent trip to Italy, I've completely switched away from anything that isn't espresso. Curious when Matt will join the cult of espresso and ditch the childish pour over American coffee? Love ya Matt! :)

[@Akillot]

Wow, please keep going, you are my favorite KZbinr

[@arielfriedman7989]

Lol removing fridge plastic asmr is the best

[@juliahombach4277]

I felt the frog 😄

[@willsheridan6981]

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

[@daytwan]

Matt still one of the very few creators still using Canon 🥺

[@Tatyana_L98]

Speaking about that metal thing on the wall of the bathroom - I'd suppose it's for keeping soap there. But I might as well be mistaken ~

[@salyndalindyhogsett2804]

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

[@valdiarief]

Matt we have the same exact fridge 🔥

[@BenFung]

Very sweet space! And congratulations on the second child.

[@AbduB]

Matt is back 🤩🤩🤩

[@anthonywilliams9415]

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

[@mattdavella]

Thanks :)

[@jefftroidvania]

Cholula is a solid go-to for sure

[@JuanDiazPalma]

The frog artwork is the best item in the studio

[@cisco_afk5112]

Why have I never thought to go inside the duvet cover 😂, seems more efficient.

[@jaiskullz]

so happy youre back!

[@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!

[@JeffreySeanHoward]

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

[@AnkiiChahal]

much better than the bonus d’avella dark moody setup.

[@sauravbanerjee46]

This Studio looks great. Didn't like the previous dark studio for podcast. That was so not Matty. This one has great positive vibe

[@mattdavella]

Glad I experimented with it but I agree. I def prefer the light & bright vibes :)

[@andreabarto14]

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