Wow beautiful Afro centric/Afrikan boho, elegant & very nature inspired apartment sis!🌺🥰 Loving your beautiful content videos!❤

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@starbean4ver]

I’m soooooo inspired!! bc of your channel i really want to visit Nairobi, Kenya n visit other parts of Africa too. i’m an inspiring world traveler n im putting this on my next top 10 must visits

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you sooo much! Kenya is a must see.

[@jegi7971]

I watched from the start to the end, it is good content! I would say if you got that amount of money to spend on a property then be patient until you get something that really fits your criteria! I think you meant to say “pallets” when trying to describe the base of the bed! For the toilets, you can consider:Smart Toilet Seat Remote Control Heated Water Hygiene Healthy, you can also update the washing area to a laundry, storage e.tc area. And you’re looking great too.

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Yes, pallets! Ultimately, I'd like to get a washing machine. KSH 90K in Kenya 👀 I will update the kitchen and bathroom next year.

[@alexchui3511]

Beautiful eclectic crib, reflects your style. My favourite part of the house is where the magic doesn't happen! 😂🙊🙈

[@ubaachieng4668]

I love your unique style. It is beautiful. Don't make the kitchen darker,it doesn't seem to have a lot of natural light.

[@village-Dreamer]

Wow... simple and elegant...!!!

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you. I try to be a minimalist. It was my job to dust the knick knacks at my granny's...I'm still traumatized.

[@rolo1624]

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

[@matrellonamission]

Your home is beautiful!! I love the decoration. The fact that your fridge is actually in the kitchen is a plus to me. 😂 The windows and your workspace is ideal for a creative. Thanks for sharing 🤎

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Oooh! Yeah, it's been a while since I had to think about fridge placement. In Zanzibar, my baby fridge was in the living room, by the front door 🤦🏾‍♀️😩

[@emo7696]

Kitangela glass is nice beautiful workmanship. The shop lets you tour them making the glass. Thanks for the tour!!

Thank you!

[@rositascarborough5751]

Gorgeous space Queen!!! Gorgeous!!! I miss sourcing in Nairobi!!! My favs were the Ethiopian hand made rug emporium right opposite Junction Mall/Dagorretti corner, Wilmer Furniture corner of Langata and Karen Roads; Odds & Ends Mombasa Road; Kitengela Glass and of course the universe of "fundis' at Dagorrett corner. I always said Kenya should export high end finished furniture. I live between Accra and the East Coast and the options in Accra are few and far between for solid hand made tasteful furniture.

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Ok. See now, imma have to screenshot because I didn't know about the spots you mentioned.

[@rositascarborough5751]

@@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL I swear by these places especially the Ethiopian rug emporium...they do custom 100% wool rugs and at the time they were 20% of the cost of similar rugs at Spinners Web. I hope they are still in business plus Wilmer furniture do excellent custom furniture with solid hardwoods. I shlepped all my stuff to Ghana and boy! am I glad I did.

[@damarisambia1154]

I love Bofa kilifi too. Your decor is so unique and very beautiful. I am redecorating i am definately stealing your Curtain idea.

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you. I stole it from the curtains I saw in Zanzibar 😁

[@MrAmunika1]

Beautiful Apartment. My family also lives in Kilimani. Hope to bump into each other one day. Enjoy Kenya.

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you. Yes, please say hi if you see me on my little blue scooter or walking through the hood.

[@HoneyWaterRain]

You've curated a beautiful home!! Where did you get those bedspreads??

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you. My Gurlfriend found them on the roadside somewhere in TZ. She won't give me the deets because soon she started selling them. I'm tryna get her to hop in the comments, cuz she was selling them online.

[@auditorynerd9138]

The house is crazy value for money.

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

IKR?! That's why I wanted to share, so folx can see their options.

[@miriamhoward5865]

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

[@julies48a]

What a beautiful home. So much color and vibrancy. Those bedspreads are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. Where can I find those bedspread. I prefer older homes compared to modern. Lovely.

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you. My friend picked them up in Tanzania. She won't tell me exactly where. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Let me see if we can get her to jump in the comments.

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you. My friend found them on the side of the road in Tanzania. She won't tell me exactly where. Let's see if we can get her to hop in the chat. 😅

[@maxwellkariuki2930]

If you intend to purchase property or land always involve trustable lawyers & reputable realtors. Do your due diligence…In kenya we also got greedy sharks who can reap you off.. Proceed with caution❗️

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you. I am reading about this and will use 2 lawyers just to be sure.

[@jaydahteaunna]

[@Karisma187]

There is a lot to do in Mombasa and Diani though then u can take a day trip to Malindi. I personally love Nairobi more because of the weather.

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Really? I guess I have more exploring to do. I prefer coastal weather. Especially during Nairobi's coldest months.

[@jamesokoth6655]

​@@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSALtry Kisumu this December sis and thank me later

[@Starbeoghtuser3475]

Love the cabinets I would change the hardware and leave as is!

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Really?? I don't even know if I'm allowed to sand down the cabinets. It would be a lot of work, but I can find out. Some of the cabinet doors near the sink are warped from water damage. We'll see.

[@sarafinalove5330]

Great information Thank you

Beautiful place. I like it ❤

Thank you Beauty! Your house looks just like you beautiful. 👑I will be in Kenya 2025 so excited. You're not going to find nothing in the US for that price not even a roommate. LOL

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you. I hear the cost of living in the US has skyrocketed. For me, location is key. There are places much cheaper and more modern further out. However, you'll find that you spend more on transportation. It really is a balance finding what you want. LMK if you will need relocation assistance.

[@vanessaedwards54]

@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL I sure will.🙏👑

[@SamWright-y2b]

😂😂😂😂 you did that ...the colors are so vibrant

Errrrr rewind to the birth day picture...so talented

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Thank you. It was a team effort.

[@josephbrown1573]

I am Nigerian and I was born in the 1960s. We had the same buildings in Nigeria . Apartments that were planned and built by the then colonial British Government to house the growing middle class of civil servants in African countries and continued to be built in the decade following independence in most African countries .These apartments were rent to own and established a standard of middle class life style for Africans working for the government . This apartment is in great shape for a 50 year old building which shows the quality of the build !I remember I had relatives that lived in these apartments and they were real communities filled with families !. Unfortunately most of these buildings have ended up in the hands of a few corrupt government officials and their friends who are now own them and rent them out !!

[@historiayetu1665]

The colonial government left Kenya in the 1960s, most of the colonial buildings were destroyed by the Kenyan government to build newer buildings. But we have colonial castles in Kenya but most were either turned into museums or occupied by descendants of colonialists that remained behind after colonialism. This building was a Kenyan government housing project for civil servants, officials that worked for the Jomo Kenyatta government in thew 1970s.

[@josephbrown1573]

@@historiayetu1665 My uncle was a civil engineer in the late1950s working for the Dept. of public works and housing in Nigeria .Yes they were built in the 1970s according to a plan that started in the 1950/60 to house civil servants . Why are they now private rentals ?

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

That period when the cold war intersected with African independence. The US and Russia competed for African alliance. Many newly independent African governments were socialist or communist leaning...provide for the people. Yes, there is history here. A safe place to raise a family that was also close to work.

America has really changed because the first thought that came to my mind when you talked of your father's partner was, "did her father switch?". I am sorry.

[@tdunde]

If you got something from Gikomba, you might as well call yourself a Kenyan now 😂. If you don't, we will give you a name and make you ours whether America wants you or not!!

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

LOL! Ihave 2 chapati tables covered in kitenge from Gikomba that I use as side tables😄

[@tdunde]

@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL Did you just say chapati!! Wow!! 🤩 Go easy on us, it was Gikomba, and now you have elevated your game to chapati stories? I will be back shortly with a Kenyan name after consulting my elders.

[@Starbeoghtuser3475]

Communities in the United States that allow pets, but do not allow. Children are called retirement communities. They are created for people who are retired and want peace, quiet, and safety. Most you have to be over 55 to live there. Different strokes for different folks.

[@BEAUTY_IS_UNIVERSAL]

Believe it or not, there are places that don't allow kids that are not retirement communities in the US. I've looked at a few.🤷🏾‍♀️
