Inside Inventor Simone Giertz’s Small Los Angeles Home, 58sqm/630sqft

[@simonegiertz]

thank you for embracing my house with all of its weird charm 🥹

[@esalenchik]

More charm and cleverly creativethan weird, and thank you for sharing it with us in all its glory😊

[@peanutboxes4076]

It’s fabulous!! ❤

[@EricaGamet]

I've watched you on YT for years, Simone! Such a wonderful surprise to see you on one of my other favorite channels. Seeing the whole house was like having a friend show you their place after only having seen one room while doing a Zoom call. Haha! Love it. Thank you NTS for bringing Simone into the fold!

[@evelynecreusot4335]

Merci Simone de nous inviter dans votre univers intime, on ne s'ennuie jamais ! 😉❤

[@gus473]

Terrific tour, Simone! But how did I not know this was in LA? Makes it even cooler! Tack! 🇸🇪🇦🇽🇫🇮😎✌️

[@feelgoodcorp1]

Never expected to see Simone on this channel!!!

[@TE_-.-]

me too

[@christinehowell]

Me too. Always a treat to see her and her work. Just seeing her face makes me smile... she's a fun person!

[@kevin_tosh]

me too, i saw the thumbnail and i was like the hangers look familiar, keep up Simone

[@spiralpython1989]

Same! Rapt to watch her describe her delightfully non- beige home.

[@MaximaToluene]

Didnt even know she designed her house!

[@marijeb278]

The collaboration that nobody expected, but everybody needed!!

[@Whereintheworldissummer]

Love this so much!

[@AlessandroCanuti]

I watched it yesterday, but had to come back to comment, because one part kept on repeating on my brain "...they're sagging from all the weight. But then again, who isn't?" OMG, one of the top moments from KZbin. Like, way up there.

[@dagmar6403]

Yes! "Who isn't?!" I loved that part xD

[@meganm7849]

Also nominating: “I don’t know, *don’t* let it go?”

[@Ellepiarr]

This lady is a mad genius. I'm sure there are many more female inventors out there who just don't get featured or recognize. Thank you for featuring Simone. She's amazing.

[@ostrobogulous1]

I love the way her mind works and the humorous ways she looks at things!!!! What a cool space!!!

[@irenelopezmartin2246]

Oh. My. God. This is the most charismatic person ever and her home definetly is too. I just love it so much. I wish I was that creative and weird and funny and crafty and definetly not boring. Kuddos for both Simone and NTS for this amazing episode

[@susanprendergast7384]

How do I sign up for the newsletter?

[@gnarbeljo8980]

She's a youtube Legend! ❤

[@sendmeplantpics]

Everyone can be creative in their own way!

[@khillkh]

💯

[@grayonthewater]

She’s so damn likable

[@Sarah_C68]

OK that human / pet chair is simply THE BEST thing ever made . Love it . This space seems so much bigger than 630 sq feet

[@Volkbrecht]

58 m2 with just one bedroom is not a small space, especially not for one person who also has a big workshop.

[@cuckoofrombg]

I'm impressed by this lady. She is an inventor! And things she showed she built/invented are so cool and usable. I love it!

[@moda78z]

She has a KZbin channel! 😁

[@tomthomson7367]

58m² for one person ist actually huge. Still a lovely tour and lots of fun.

[@CalaTec]

Exactly

[@sacnereob]

I know couples in Amsterdam that live in smaller spaces with two kids

[@TamaraJoy7]

What a fantastic and quirky world she lives in! This is what you get when you live the experimental and creative mindset of “how can I make this better” and, “anything goes”.. I’d never heard of her so this was an amazing opportunity to meet her on this channel.

[@PredictableEnigma]

I highly reccommend her channel. She's so funny and inspiring.

[@ellieee.williams]

This is the most fun house tour I have watched on this channel. You can't deny the overflowing imagination and creativity of Simone has.

[@bettysze334]

I love NTS but have never commented till now. I am obsessed with how creative and quirky Simone is, and by extension her house. She’s also so warm and funny and someone that I thought, wow she must be so much fun as a friend. This is an impossible to replicate house as it’s a product of her incredibly creative brain but it’s a great example of how making a place exactly as you want it and yet not attached to anything, allows you to have the perfect sanctuary.

[@janelte]

What a joyous collaboration between two of my favourite channels! Lovely to see the entirety of Simone's clever, witty, warm, whimsical home (all characteristics of Simone herself, I feel). It could only have been better if Laura Kampf had been lurking in the workshop. Fabulous.

[@AndreaVelasco-j2c]

Best NTS video of all times!! Amazing to see see how her brain works, how she creates depending on her needs + has an amazing sense of humor!! So happy I discovered this woman.

[@bluesnow222]

This gals openness in showing the minor imperfections in her home just feels so wholesome to me.

[@sophiachristo7546]

Simone is an amazing product designer and her house is like the inside of her brain... BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE, PLAYFUL, PRACTICAL and CREATIVE!

[@PeiwenTanbassoon821]

I feel so sad that I had never heard of her until now. Thank you for introducing her to me NTS!

[@morlandalamaga5899]

I have recently discovered her channel though I had seen some videos of her time ago... watch her TED talk,it's worth.

[@TheSalPic]

She's a great follow!

[@moda78z]

I’ve followed her KZbin channel for years! She’s so much fun!

[@curiousfirely]

Welcome to the joy of knowing Simone's work! There are so many great projects to discover!

[@bodie1098]

I feel so happy that I just discovered her! Ditto to the thanks.

[@jemma50]

This is one of the few of your never-too-small homes that I really like and find cozy. Most of them are cold and sterile, all white, etc. I love the quirkiness of this home. It's awesome!! ♥

[@Cartoonist62]

So many of the places on this channel are poorly hidden Airbnb's, while as this you can TELL she is living there which makes it so much more authentic and relatable!

[@Mytrios2137]

Ever since Simone made the puzzle table its been a dream of mine to one day have one like hers in my home

[@TamarLitvot]

That's what started me also. I never do puzzles anymore and it's mainly because I don't have a place to do them since they take up so much space.

[@MakeMeThinkAgain]

Well this was a surprising mash-up. Certainly breaks the "Never Too White" trend. I live in only 280 sq ft but what I envy are her shop tools. What I could do if only I had Simone's tools and the work space.

[@thedepthsofrepair]

Honestly her space is not really small. Especially for one person.

[@_oaktree_]

@@thedepthsofrepair For a detached house (as opposed to an apartment) this is quite small, especially for the US or Canada. It's rare to find a detached house this small in those countries. However, you're not wrong that this is a perfectly normal, even spacious, size for a one-bedroom apartment. I live in a one-bedroom apartment in a large North American city and my place is 750 square feet, which we consider pretty large for a 1 bdr.

[@aussieanne6812]

Absolutely loved this video. It’s the most honest house tour I’ve ever seen. Simone is very talented and I really appreciate her approach to design.

[@TorontoJon]

Wow, Simone Giertz is so talented, innovative, charming, quirky, and with touches of humour too; just like her incredible home and her many impressive inventions. This is one of the best, most engaging spaces I've seen on this channel that truly reflects the very essence of the homeowner. :)

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

I am always envious of people that have such creative minds and style. And she also happens to be very charming and fun. Really enjoyed this one.

[@graceaxisa4213]

Wowsa! Her perspective on everyday things is incredible. Such a creative, clever, humorous person. She seems to always find challenges that stimulate and inspire her! Oh!!! And I love her house!

[@rskrakau8137]

My painting in the background at 00:25 🥳 It feels so good to know that it has a wonderful home!

[@ChipMatthews]

It's a beautiful piece of work

[@rskrakau8137]

@@ChipMatthews thank you so much

[@funnkyfunk]

That fruit bowl is AMAZING!! Also totally getting Donna from Suits vibes from her...and who doesn't love Donna! 🥰🥰🥰

[@jennycampbell5236]

The best small home I have ever seen on NTS. Simone is a beautiful clever lady. I love that side table so much. Everything in her home is practical and ingenious. Her home is a true expression of herself. She should win awards for her product.

[@katbar6066]

I loved the dog steps and extension to her chair so her dog could climb up and sit next to her while she works. I also liked the Dining table/Jigsaw table- that was genius.....Actually she had some brilliant ideas.

[@NobukiPhu]

This has to be one of my top 5 favourite KZbin cross-overs!!! Simone is an absolute legend! Her outlook on life never fails to bring a smile to my face and a warmth to my core.

[@1midnightfish]

If I had a table like that, I would become a jigsaw puzzle addict in no time! What a cool woman, thank you to her and the channel for showing us her lovely home.

[@steampunkster2023]

I remembered her as one of the OG youtubers. Glad to see her doing well.

[@TheEvilGlassRectangle]

THE GENIUS, THE LEGEND! Iconic cozy enthusiast

[@ursulasommer-gartner768]

WOW! This is the most creative woman I've ever seen. Such a cosy and lovely home. And her care for her pets and plants

[@loliada]

my fave tour you've done! not only bc she is an amazing inventor but the fact it looks like an actual lived in home! with mess and clutter and colour and life

[@odinthorson1830]

I’m happy to see Simone happy and healthy. Wonderful little home, beautifully decorated. 😊🙏🐾

[@mamemckee2190]

So glad to see Simone and her home featured! It has been great to watch her channel as she builds these unique items and it is super to see them all in their place.

[@fephenstuller]

I already knew that Simone is amazing, yet I didn’t realise how amazing she actually is until I watched this. Thanks!

[@mallorquinaK]

What a delightful person! She has such a wonderful attitude.

[@davidhunternyc1]

Wow, Simone is amazing. Creative. Intelligent. Always looking at ways to solve problems most of us can't see. I'm not worried either. She'll find the big spoon of her dreams someday. Stay strong, Simone!

[@enieledam]

I love Simone so much. Of course she has one of the prettiest, most fun homes I've ever SEEN!

[@LS56788]

This was the best thing I could possibly have woken up to today 😊 I ❤️ Simone and NTS - what a brilliant merging of two of my favourite channels ❤❤❤

[@polaroidjay]

I love her! She’s so quirky and creative!

[@dixiemerchant1052]

The world needs people like this, they are the gems that bring a spark - thanks for a great story!

[@carriefu458]

Simone is so funny, fun, and creative!!! What a lovely home, filled with awesome inventions!!!

[@roquemarcelomusic]

I love this episode! She is AMAZING! Her house has charm, whimsy, and functionality. Everything about it has so much character. The standouts for me are the puzzle table, the stained glass door, the hinged hangers, the plant light fixture, and the overall vibe. It is all so well done!

[@latebloomerabroad]

I've never heard of her, so thanks for the introduction! This is far and away my favorite tour you've done on this channel. I love her unique and beautiful solutions.

[@OwlWitch5141]

Simone is possibly the most creative person I've seen, and she is actually able to achieve the end results she wants. Its literally so cool! everyone of her projects keeps me captivated so awesome!

[@SyarSAlia]

omg I've been following NTS and Simone for years, never did I expect this delightful crossover! I love all the things Simone has made for her home

[@1964Msbea]

I love your inventions - the transforming table, the coffee table spool, the bed, the hanger! truly unique and truly you! Thank you NTS for featuring Simone!

[@spotterofgold]

I've been devotedly watching your respective channels for a long time, so, THANK you NTS and Simone for this wonderful tour! Simone's aesthetic and inventions are Magic!🪄

[@Alittlebraindead]

I love Simone so much! For me she just feels like as if someone took the little voice in my head and turned it into a physical form. I’ve been watching her videos for quite a while now and it always feels so incredibly inspiring and chaotic, but calming at the same time - it’s just a delight. Simone if you see this: I’m glad you let yourself be so creative, even when it comes to the smallest things. You are such a big inspiration!

[@Moonflowerer]

Fully clicked on this video thinking it was a new video from Simone, only to be pleasantly surprised! Great collab :)

[@quietlynoping]

My favourite comment "wait, I can make that" love it. Her entire ethos is "how can I make that work?" Then comes up with something really interesting. Brilliant ❤

[@I_am_Lauren]

I LOVE this home! I LOVE quirky things. The decorative wooden ceiling is gorgeous! The more casual format of this video is refreshing.

[@katmaniakat]

amazing showcase of not only how Simone's house works but also how her mind works, which is so fascinating. have been following both channels for a while now, and this collab makes so much sense. my fav episode this year ❤

[@susanshannon1984]

Love her sense of humor! Yes please on the storage over the fridge that pulls out & down...this would be a great feature for seniors and people with mobility concerns. Great video!

[@maymaycatsu]

Yay🎉Simone!!!! ❤❤. Can’t wait to see what she’ll come up with for small kitchen storage. I love her accessibility creation for her little doggie ❤❤

[@triggerhappyhippie]

Simone thanks for bringing one of my fav Swedish sayings about the STJÄRTERUM! 🎉

[@margy3466]

Love, love, love EVERYTHING about this home & owner. The unusual objects AND her quirky comments. ❤❤❤❤

[@martinethevenau69]

I think the homeowner/inventor is simply fabulous. Love all her inventions and attitude. Her home is definitely not boring and feels cosy. The bathroom is stunning. 😍🏚

[@amy04612003]

Every design is for her life, even considering about her dog❤❤

[@WorkerBeeSupply]

Simone, I love that your favourite movie is Frozen and that you had your Disney Imagineer artist friend paint those designs for you. I’m gosh darn charmed 🥹

[@SpringyNoodles]

her chair where her dog could climb is genius 🤩

[@lucysmyth1970]

Oh my gosh, this is my most favorite Never Too Small video ever!! So inspiring and delightful! xx

[@carolis9748]

That's AMAZING! Colorful in the right measure. So creative.

[@philipwalsh28]

One of the best NTS videos ever made. Simone Giertz -- well, the world needs a lot more exposure to her ideas. Thanks for choosing the US, Simone -- I hope you stay!

[@jpp7783]

It’s wonderful, simply wonderful. Too often these spaces call to the “oh I’m so creative” types who end up creating a home that looks like a futuristic movie set or something; the sort of space that comes unravelled if you wear a sweater or buy a book in an off-theme colour. But this is actually liveable. And it’s creative components sort of sit back and create comfort, rather than screaming out, “ooh, aren’t I just too cool, look at me! Look! Look!” (And it has a decent kitchen!) (Those hinged hangers are simply brilliant.)

[@deniseferron3397]

I love Simone, and I love her house. And that small painting of a dog with a pearl earring - priceless!!!

[@tiagomateiro]

This is not small at all. Most people in this world live in way smaller spaces. It's a nice place. It's all about perspective.

[@meredithheath5272]

What a fantastic idea - A person gave me this old brass floor lamp. I DO use it for lighting, but, I could replace the lamp with her planting idea!! So cool!! Thank you!! Glad you are expressing yourself so freely!!!

[@findingthatperfectspot4692]

This is the most hilarious NTS video I've seen. Simone is fabulous. Thank you for introducing me to her!

[@lakerooster]

right? never before have I laughed out loud during an NTS video (I came across both NTS and Simone during pandemic lock-down - as others here have said: what a happy combination of 2 youtube favourites!)

[@NaynaHall]

I love her energy, it’s chaotic in the most joyful, organized, and loving way❤❤❤

[@BaileySuttonMusic]

Wow. This is the type of AD content I have craved! Thanks for this

[@notabeanie9052]

Wow! A collaboration between two of my fave channels that i never could have expected. Simone I love how genuine and authentic you are, it's so special to see a Never Too Small vid that embraces the messy corners and imperfect bits and the charm of something being handmade and personal to you. I hope more NTS hosts are willing to sing "everything is awesome" and compare their cupboard handles to nipple piercings.

[@Midland_Wolf_71]

She’s lovely, super cool, laidback and very much her own person. More power to her. ✊

[@inadinescu5030]

Best episode of Never too small. She is incredible, and so is her house. Loved that she kept it real about the loft and other things too. Simply wonderful episode!

[@tamarasurnina_renovation]

What an amazing and inspiring woman!!❤ What a house! I'm a new fan😁 And the story is different from other videos on this channel, but in a good way. Its more real life, as is🙏Reminds you that you can be you, and your home can also be a bit imperfect in somebody's eye, but perfect for you❤

[@katek1017]

Hi Simone. I have followed you for years. You always bring a smile to my face and now, so does your home. Thanks for sharing. I think you're brilliant. Thanks to NTS too.

[@angelaberni8873]

She is utterly amazing. I love people who think out of the box.

[@bnbronstein]

If that chair for needy dogs ever launches on kickstarter or wherever I will be a day one buyer. Not for me but my wife and our dog need this for each other

[@MrSwampFox2U]

Plamp is sick. In the best sense of the word.

[@pragmax]

Thank you for doing this. Simone simply doesn't do enough to show off her home in her own videos. This was wonderful to see how all her work has come together to make a fun, functional, and livable space.

[@adoyizao]

Love that mechanical fruit bowl!

[@contentcatnip]

What a cool person, so funny, warm and her home reflects that. I love the new direction this channel is taking with showcasing homes that look lived in and people who seem relatable and cool

[@greenasaruby]

I love that we inadvertently (or perhaps purposefully?) get to tour through your KZbin career of favourite inventions and designs Simone! It’s so fun still watching along and so glad you’re on another favourite channel. What a lovely surprise 🥰

[@TamarLitvot]

Love Simone! I've only seen 5-6 of her videos and caught glimpses of her bedroom and workshop so this tour was wonderful, sort of a foundation for watching more of her videos. She's the most inventive person I've ever seen -- and her dry humor pointed at herself the most is very appealing.

[@lovingmayberry307]

Omg! Love her! Going to her channel rn to subscribe! This is the best NTS episode ever!!

[@carloalison]

Well this is a pleasant surprise. I love Simone; her quirkiness & ingenuity.

[@tikilee7172]

I have been watching Laura Kampf ‘ maker’ for years, which is where I first saw Simone. I’m delighted to subscribe to her channel as well.

[@muddy_spaghetti]

She's so gifted and has a great aesthetic. Love the use of color and pattern. I love a lot of homes/apartments featured on this channel, but this is my favourite so far. Absolutely love it, and love her. Now, I'm a huge fan.

[@andtheneverythingchangedwh5234]

Simone! She's such a genius!

[@K.M-H-lk9cl]

‘I’d rather have weird/ugly than boring’ - thank you for this bit of wisdom, Simone! I’m in the middle of my own complicated house renovation and I’m definitely going to borrow this mantra for myself ❤️

[@Loriannlk]

I have not even finished viewing this video and I had to pause it to like it! Ok, back to viewing…..

[@tbillington]

OMG, I've been subscribed to Simone for like a decade. It's great to see her show the whole house after seeing all the individual projects over the years.

[@jessicanichol5944]

I love how genuine she is. I feel so much more inspired by this

[@andreagarcia9779]

Wow, this woman is incredibly creative. I Love how she solve problems and shows that her house is still a work in progress ❤

[@brightstarlight11]

she has an original mind and it shows in the house design and decor.

[@savannahburris6080]

Yes! This is the reason I love living in a tiny apartment. It’s such a challenge to decorate on a budget but I’m making it better little by little.

[@amandiner8532]

I didn't know Simone. I follow her now 😊 she is AMAZING

[@aimeehoughton9970]

OMG. The dining/puzzle table and the spool of thread coffee table/yarn storage. This is a woman whose functional design makes my heart sing.
