What’s your favorite section of the apartment?? 🤔

[@dianeliggett9575]

The lights, the windows and window treatment and your couch

[@seyunsaga]

Hehe yay!! So glad you like it ❤️

[@davidw4781]

I thought the fireplace was pretty unique.

[@chi2om]

Bed and shower. Actually love the whole living area. The lights especially

[@seyunsaga]

@@chi2om aww so happy you like the place chisom!

[@quitemundane]

$1600 for a midtown apartment- amazing! Love how you decorated your space

[@seyunsaga]

thank you so much!! 🤩

[@ryryfloridaboyvlogs5729]

The editing on this was so dope, this deserves to go viral.

[@carlylifting]

Totally agree! A work of art!

[@seyunsaga]

aaaa thank you so much! I'm so glad you guys are liking it 🤩

[@seyunsaga]

thank you so much carly!!

[@PhyreDeiter]

100000%

[@carlylifting]

@@seyunsaga You’re welcome! Keep killin it! 😍🙌🏼

[@katyriam]

I love how real and transparent you are with your apartment! It’s all feels lived in and realistic. Everything isn’t always pretty !

[@seyunsaga]

yay!! so happy you like the apt! thank youu

[@maddscientist3170]

High ceilings make a HUGE difference! A shelf over the entry door would be helpful for some storage. need some wall shelves also ...take advantage of the tall wall space. Love the lamp in the fireplace I would of tiled the inside of the fireplace also. Raise the bed & there could be storage under there also. Shelf over the bathroom & hall closet door for storage also would be helpful.. Shelf over bath door inside the bath too! Great little apartment....IMHO I would be hanging command hooks everywhere ...including the back of the entry door & get your handbags off the door knob! LOL

[@seyunsaga]

Oooo thank you so much for all of the info! Definitely taking notes 🤩

[@aliceamelia15]

Using the oven as storage space has to be one of the most New York things I have ever seen

[@EvanKapitansky]

You have a great studio apartment. Love how your kitchen is cluttered because you use it. Great idea to get a step-ladder. Great closet -- very impressed how you crammed it all in. You really made the absolute best use of your apace.

[@bonniepwtf]

I have seen so many NY apartment tours & this is top notch. You made the most of every inch for storage & made it beautiful at the same time. My favorite feature is the lamp in the fireplace, never seen that done before & it works perfectly, such a nice glow & brings attention to the fireplace. So impressed with it all, hope you will be safe & happy there.

[@seyunsaga]

Aww this comment is so sweet! I’m so happy you like the apt style! Thanks for watching :)

[@MARKWHITE007]

That fireplace is stupid amazing. Best idea ever.

[@cindym7508]

I think my fav parts, were the tile you put down in the fireplace, giving plants the light they need, and cute bedding. Great work & felt really real.

[@user-fg4qb7jv3c]

when ur apartment tour intro is a cinematic masterpiece 🥺🌿☕️💗✨

[@seyunsaga]

hehe awww thank you so much evelyn!! ❤️

[@gidgetmarasek1927]

This actually made me feel better about living in my first apartment and cramming everything in. I was feeling bad because I feel like it is embarrassing and messy but I'm glad I'm not the only one :).

[@seyunsaga]

hehe i gotchu biss

[@bernadettedevereaux8694]

I watch a lot of NYC apartment tours and I’m always left wondering, what do people do with their clothes? Tiny house people just have jeans and T shirts. But when you live in the fashion capital of the United States, how can you not have a bazillion clothes, shoes and purses? I like that for this small apartment you’re able to have a closet and that all of your clothes don’t look like your going on vacation for a month and can only bring one suitcase.

[@seyunsaga]

Hahaha I know right all the apartment tours seem to be so cramped with closet space, I don’t know how people do it 😂 I even let go of a bunch of clothes before I moved yet I’m barely able to fit all my clothes now

[@FidanIlhamm]

I have 2 huge closet in my tiny studio but still not enough 😂

[@bzed744]

Underbed storage is a MUST. I have bins under my bed that house seasonal clothes, activewear, linens, etc.

[@m.montero1303]

Love the way you decorated your studio. Interesting, modern yet homey and warm. 🙏🏼🍀💕

[@lavernepuller3080]

I thought my kitchen was small! To be honest, the kitchen in my first apartment was the same size as yours. You've done a wonderful job with your home! My only hesitation is having your paper towels over your gas stove, be careful. Happy dwelling!

[@seyunsaga]

thank you so much!! yes it's very small but good enough for me at this stage of life~ and i'll definitely be careful with the paper towels 😊

[@theresasilvestri228]

Yes, paper towels over a gas stove are definitely a fire hazard…‼️🔥‼️🔥

[@peachesdixon7567]

@@seyunsaga My friend's house burned to the ground from paper towels catching fire. Also, microwaves need air, don't clog your vents. You've made a small space work very well. Happy living!

[@hkends8983]

Looks great! I have a suggestion though, you could put a small cabinet next to the table where the mirror is ! If the color matched the table I think it would blend right in and give you some extra storage for kitchen stuff!

[@8gagee]

That hallway could be your "new" vanity area. Chandelier and mirror tiles on the wall, frame it out and add fairy lights around it....shelves and hook with jewelry and hair/makeup products! Voila....you're done!

[@seyunsaga]

Oooo good idea! Thank you for watching livvy ❤️❤️

[@esthermitchell646]

This place is so lovely. It is also huge for a studio apartment, there is so much wall space. It looks very roomy. It makes taking a studio apartment acceptable. Some people look for a one-bedroom, but you made it look very spacious. Your ideas and taste in style really shine. Thanks for all the information about where you purchased certain items. Thanks for sharing.

[@405Lenny]

Amazing job on this video, you’re very talented. It’s incredible that $1600.00 is considered a great deal. I do love what you did with the apartment. Good luck! 🙏

[@simiansociety]

Love the production of the intro! Great place

[@mo_inthemiddle77]

This is the realest apartment tour I've seen so far - you made the space your own while still being cost effective and it didnt feel like an ad for home goods or something 😂. KZbin can use more videos like this. Great job!

[@Ebee7]

This was the absolute best studio apartment setup I’ve seen yet! Awesome job girl!

[@folushoxo]

I absolutely love your apartment 💕💕 looks so cozy. I also love how much detail you went into with everything!

[@martialag]

This is the most detailed apartment tour I've seen so far! Great job!

[@peacefreedom4930]

Maybe you can use vertical storage and the height in the kitchen to put organizer in. Maybe a rack that drops from the ceiling… or maybe an armoire against that wall by the bathroom and storage kitchen equipment in it. You have a beautiful apartment. Nice job

[@genevelau936]

I lived in a studio apt for a year and just moved into a one-bed with my partner... this made me miss my studio so much! You've done a lovely job decorating the place, and your editing is just IMMACULATE. I wish you a long and happy life in this apartment!

[@seyunsaga]

Awww thank you so much Geneve!! Definitely living alone is an era i feel like will be so important in my life 😍

[@athenaashleybates4363]

Editing on point!!! love you space, great job.

[@johnniemenjivar]

I love the apartment! It’s so aesthetically pleasing 🔥

[@alexsmith9915]

You've done so much with your space... It's beautiful and highlights both great style and creativity. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jules-eo5rc]

I like that your furnishings were not similar to every other apartment tour on youtube. Particularly how they added a pop of color to your surroundings

[@alainamichelle]

I’m obsessed! You have the perfect place. I love the plant vibes. I just posted my apartment tour today and now I’m binge watching everyone else’s!

[@Oceans5april]

The vibe of this place is just perfect.👌🏻Love it.

[@artsygirlmarilyn6296]

I ❤love that you don’t apologize for a messy corner here or there. Amazing use of space. 💋🌷💃🏻 I love plants too. Especially my begonia and red and pink anthuriums. 🪴🪴🧚🏽‍♀️🧧👩‍🎤

[@carolynek1875]

I love your place I love everything you did with it it's really cute!! where your ladder is you can get cabinet to put against that wall if you put that ladder somewhere else cuz it's flat you could lay the ladder anywhere against a wall you can then get a slim cabinet with shelf's or pull out drawers where the ladder used to be.. so you could get all your stuff out of the oven the cabinet so you don't have to worry they make narrow tall little cabinets where you can pull out the drawers check Walmart or Target love your place!
