Looks way to much bland I need color

[@Amanda3280h]

Doesnt feel homie, but its always nice to see what other people like.

[@Elle.Schmidt]

I totally get it! Neutrals-only isn't for everyone. I love looking at colorful homes and how people decorate in different ways, but I feel the same way you do only in reverse - colors are not for me. Too overwhelming for me, but still so beautiful. :) I hope you're living out your colorful home dreams!

[@MamaC6100]

What you need is an educator. Cause baby, you cannot use the English vocabulary correctly 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@fishercourt]

@@Elle.SchmidtThat was such a respectful response, thanks for sharing your home with us. ❤

[@jancyking582]

Disagree; such a small space benefits greatly from the theme she has chosen. Plus, I hate junk all over the shelves and counters

[@suelyons531]

Do not change that painting! It's fantastic and the bed placement is excellent. Really nice place. Well done!

[@Bellasand45]

Nice apartment. You can have a small cactus 🌵 it will give you beautiful flowers once a year, and it doesn’t need a lot of water or care.

[@jaelpenn8296]

Love the organization and how you designed the space. Your apartment looks much larger than 610 square feet. Excellent job!

[@jancyking582]

Love your aesthetic! Your space is very calming and appears larger than other apartments that size. I like the soft blue in the painting. It is actually a very neutral blue (if you know what I mean)

[@joselito7776]

The view of the apartment from the bed is quite attractive and calming, with the black shelves and black picture frames preventing the space from being too beige. Good job.

[@barbaranymiel3089]

I love your dog.

[@Elle.Schmidt]

She's the best

[@latinwaterpoloperez]

Lovely apartment! And a lucky dog!

[@nonnaslilboy]

Fellow Manhattanite in awe over how much storage space you have. Beautiful space! And Bella 🐶

[@Elle.Schmidt]

Thank you! And yes, let's be honest, Bella is the real star of this - and every - video ;)

[@barbaravyse660]

Aww I had a dog named Bella too. May she rest in peace.

[@teddysdadcory]

LOL!! I keep my packing tape in that exact same Ikea storage unit too. 😂 Ours is espresso, but I looove the white and beige version you have.

[@Trudloops]

I love your use of the space. This is also such a high quality video. Kudos to the cameraman and editor. Keep up the good work.

[@Elle.Schmidt]

Thanks so much! I know, they did such a great job on filming and editing and it was great working with them on this video :)

[@athenaashleybates4363]

Super calming vibes! Great job girl :)

[@MTMF.london]

I think 610 square feet is large for a studio and the "alcove" is big enough to be made into a proper bedroom as it has windows. It just needs a partition which doesn't have to be full height - Japanese style shoji screens that come up to 2/3 height of ceiling would give you privacy without making the rest of apartment shrink. I like the colour palette as it it basically neutral without boring.

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi very beautiful apartment and perfectly decorated. Your photos are just gorgeous 👍

[@Elle.Schmidt]

Thank you! I appreciate the love! xo

[@mariapinto2498]

Very nice apartment. I love the bedroom. I also have little counter space in my kitchen and bathroom so I know how it could be a little problem. I love the elephant and that’s neat you went to Thailand,

[@Elle.Schmidt]

Thank you :) I hope we both get more counter space some day!

[@stormieblanco]

nice cozy apartment, interior decorator tip you should look into a divider it would be great addition to your apartment

[@anngosselin7669]

Your space altho very nice gives new meaning to minimalist

[@sherrycohen1824]

What an amazing place!

[@Flickit100]

The white painting, on a white wall is not distracting.

[@leighannegibson4211]

I love your space and the way you utilize every inch! Perfect use of space!

[@susanlohman35]

Beautiful video. Living in Chicago so understand and appreciate all that closet space!

[@Elle.Schmidt]

Thank you! It's truly a luxury sometimes in these big cities!

[@AdvocateMoksh]

I have saved this one to my favourites list. Loved the aesthetics ❤

[@felicia2463]

I think you did a fabulous job!! Your apartment is perfect! ❤❤❤

[@cynthiablagg4507]

Love what you did! You should be proud

[@gerardguida7727]

Looks perfect 👌

[@caryinfante8013]

Love your space. White is beautiful!❤

[@donjulio4025]

Nice video. Where is the couch from ? Thanks

[@texasmarshalls]

Also, where did you find your sofa?

[@Elle.Schmidt]

My couch is from Crate and Barrel's axis line. The fabric I chose is Icon Pearl - chenille, and the legs are shale: www.crateandbarrel.com/Axis-queen-sleeper-lounger/s421063?oc=1,2043_4,117 Hope that helps!

[@faithofafa]

hi Elle! I love your decor! soo pretty! may I ask where you found the black boxes on your shelf ??

[@Elle.Schmidt]

Thank you!!

[@Nursing609]

IS THIS ABOUT HER THINGS OR HER STUDIO APARTMENT

[@holdengreenlaw3004]

You have to go to another floor for laundry?

[@barbaravyse660]

Do you have a washer and dryer?

[@quensettadavenport8165]

Beautiful!!! Can you link the sofa or let me know where it’s from? TFS!!

[@Elle.Schmidt]

Here you go! I selected "Icon Pearl - chenille" for the fabric and shade "shale" for the legs, but they also have so many other lovely colors and shades to choose from. :) Couch: www.crateandbarrel.com/Axis-queen-sleeper-lounger/s421063?oc=1,2043_4,117

[@buckgreen6028]

This is a lovely lady with great taste.

[@trumancollie9]

Love ur apartment!

[@texasmarshalls]

Where did you find your tv stand?

[@Elle.Schmidt]

The TV stand is from Ikea, but I can't find the exact one/link. It's the Besta line though with regular legs. I'm not sure if they make the shiny brown/tan doors anymore :( Here is a similar one though with the 3 section parts that maybe you can customize: www.ikea.com/us/en/p/besta-tv-bench-with-drawers-white-moertviken-lappviken-stubbarp-white-s09420474/#content

[@lyndad3730]

Lovely apartment’‼️❤️. Must have your sleeper sofa-where did you it?? Thanks‼️❤️❤️❤️

[@Elle.Schmidt]

Here you go! Couch (fabric: Icon Pearl - chenille; legs: shale): www.crateandbarrel.com/Axis-queen-sleeper-lounger/s421063?oc=1,2043_4,117

[@lyndad3730]

Thanks so much for responding. We have been searching for a couch of this type. I appreciate it‼️❤️❤️❤️

[@debrawalters9746]

If you’re not a minimalist, what are you?

[@lizzettesantiago9729]

Beautiful ❤

[@esikazemese]

Anyone wants a painting like that? I will make you one for 100$.

[@aprilshorty4094]

I just made 2 for my daughter they're very easy considering it was my first time

[@esikazemese]

@@aprilshorty4094 Yes, my comment was irony.

[@Elle.Schmidt]

That's fantastic! You could totally make them and start selling them! I'm sure that people like me, who don't have a crafty bone or desire in their body, would happily buy them from you. Wishing you nothing but happiness and success! xo

[@Elle.Schmidt]

@@aprilshorty4094 that's amazing! I don't have an artistic/crafty bone in my body, so I'm always in awe of people who are good at those type of things. I bet they turned out beautifully :)

[@aprilshorty4094]

@@Elle.Schmidt I'm not very good with art at all that's why I was so amazed that they came out good lol

[@summerdow7149]

Where is your white comforter from?:)

[@Elle.Schmidt]

Both are from Casper! Duvet insert (I have the lightweight one): casper.com/bedding/duvets/lightweight-down-duvet.html Duvet cover (percale): casper.com/bedding/sheets/percale/percale-duvet-cover.html

[@daxjacob]

Incredible video 👍

[@Elle.Schmidt]

thanks for the love! xo

[@chi2om]

Oh wait did i miss the bathroom

[@bumblebee3847]

How much do you pay for it? :)

[@arienrhod4166]

Nice space but your austere palette makes me twitchy.

[@maddscientist3170]

that is a very LARGE "studio" apartment &...you have a LARGE dog.............you can also do 'color' & still be miminal

[@femmebrulee5053]

It looks bare. No character at all. Dining table is verging on looking budget and needs to be sent back to Amazon. There's a difference between minimalism and spartan. I've seen apartments in Amsterdam and Norway that are minimalist but still have character.

[@christopherone1]

sorry not sure how anyone can live in a colorless white walls apartment, I mean...what the heck. who needs a king size bed, single? I can't imagine living in this space...so depressing.

[@ZadeZenmOm]

Plain and boring and square 😂
