NYC APARTMENT TOUR 2.0 | Upper East Side Studio

[@ephrussi9765]

It's such a lovely space. Very inviting. You've done such a good job in creating your home. Samson is so sweet.

[@haliestock]

Aww wow thank you so much! That means a lot ☺️

[@TheHiddenhippie6]

What a beautiful place you have made and your puppy is just precious! I think a large mirror on that wall would make it feel even more open. I live in a small home and we use mirrors whenever we can to bounce that light around 😊

[@haliestock]

I completely agree! I’ve been trying to figure out what shape mirror to fill the space! 🤔

[@DarleneBarrett-c7s]

I think floating shelves would look great on your blank wall. I just installed a couple of floating shelves near my kitchen in my small condo and I love making it a usable but pretty space by placing decorative jars filled with my tea, pasta, etc. Great video! You have a beautiful home and the puppy is such a cutie!

[@haliestock]

Aw wow thank you so much!! & I love that! It would be fun to interchange decor/flowers/lights on the shelves seasonally, for holidays, etc! Hmmm now you got me thinking!! 😅

[@denverdubois5835]

I'd normally say shelving on the blank wall. But your place has quite a lot of closet space for a studio, and the kitchen has way more cabinets than one would expect, plus there's that big island with all its storage. So I'd say instead--either a beautiful mirror or a large scale piece of artwork, something kind of idyllic and soothing. Maybe a flowering plant next to it--right by the window, for light? Love your adorable puppy, and the pink loveseats are so nice! Wow though, that heater placement would so annoy me if I lived there LOL. I'm glad it doesn't get too hot or sleeping there would be difficult! Clever of you to turn the headboard around like that!

[@haliestock]

Thank you so so much! Yes, you’re so right! We thankfully have a decent amount of storage space be it closets/cabinets/under the bed, etc! Curious what shape of mirror you would suggest? 🤗

[@bonniepwtf]

It was a pure visual pleasure to see your home again. It is so well done, just stunning. Congrats on the addition of Samson, he's adorable & even matches the look of the apartment. Wishing much happiness & safety to the three of you.

[@haliestock]

Awww 🥰🥰🥰 Wow thank you so much! It was so fun “nesting” in preparation for our pup! ❤️

[@innaershova528]

I absolutely love the way you've decorated your space, and omg, those pants that you're wearing are the bomb! Re: white wall: I would consider adding a decorative shelf with some plants on it or maybe a neon sign (depending on how much light the area is getting otherwise once it's dark outside).

[@haliestock]

Okay neon sign idea is so fun!! 🤩 And thank you Inna!! Pants are from Urban Haus & they are SO COMFY! 🙌

[@christineandersongonzalez5904]

Love it. For the blank wall I’d get a big round mirror to open the space. I did that to a blank wall in my livingroom. And it looks much larger.

[@haliestock]

Thank you Christine!! Yes I definitely want to incorporate some sort of mirror! I like the round mirror idea! We have a lot of square/rectangle shapes already so that might be nice to have switch it up!

[@janettallent5588]

I love your home and the new changes! I think shelvingwould be awesome ! Just for decoration or storage .maybe a awesome picture would be great .which one do you like?

[@haliestock]

Thank you so much Janet! Yes I love both of those ideas!! Would love to find some fun artwork!

[@birdeez]

HELLO Doggie SAMSON, such a CUTIE!!! You did a great job updating the decor in your HOME SWEET HOME!!!

[@haliestock]

Thank you so much!! Isn’t he just the cutest little guy?! 🥹 ❤️

[@junekuntz1874]

It looks very nice warm and cozy the kitchen is very warm on that wall a mirror would look nice I wouldn't do shelves or a gallery wall it may look to busy. 🐕

[@haliestock]

Thank you so much June!! I love that idea! ❤

[@sandrag237]

That wall you could add some plants - Lovely and cozy place! Thank you for sharing and providing ideas - Samson is so adorable 😍😍

[@haliestock]

Aw thank you Sandra!! He’s the best little guy 🥰 I totally agree! I think plants would really freshen up the space especially the kitchen area & tie in some of the earthy colors we already have going on!

[@bonriver9420]

Your apartment is beautiful. Make sure that you pull your headboard out a bit from your heater so it is not too close to the heat. You don't want it to be a fire hazard. I love your two toned slacks.

[@haliestock]

Thank you so much!! And yes for sure!! Definitely in the winter when it’s on we bring the bed out slightly 🤗

[@gcchair7634]

This is fabulous!a big painting of Samson on the blank wall 😂…but really leave blank

[@haliestock]

Hahahah 😅

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

I LOVE how you styled your Livingroom!! 💖💖💖💖. My husband and I are in a 400 sq foot Studio Apartment and LOVE it!! We recently, purchased a Loveseat and in a Pink Color as well 🙂😀. You gave alot of great ideas for Storage Solutions! Thank you!! 🤗

[@haliestock]

Ahhhh thank you SO MUCH Trudy! Love that you & your husband are in a studio too! We love being in our cozy little space together! Enjoy your pink loveseat 💕

[@leighannegibson4211]

It looks great!! I love your space! We downsized from 2600 sq feet to just less than 700 sq feet last year when we moved to NYC last year and love it! Like yours, our space continues to be a work in progress. It’s so much fun to develop and decorate a space over time together as you live in it and grow to love it more and more. You really do have a lot of storage for a studio! Have you seen the bed frames that hade storage underneath them? They are great for additional storage!

[@haliestock]

@@leighannegibson4211 Yes definitely a work in progress as we navigate living in a small space & having so many things be "multi-purpose" haha :) & yessss we have seen those bed frames but our bed came with an adjustable base so we had to opt for a normal frame! Thankfully we found some nice plastic containers to store things below!

[@jamierenae3833]

That wall is perfect for plant wall hangers & I would plant herbs….they’ll get great light & you can add them to your meals. Your home is gorgeous & you seem so sweet ❤

[@haliestock]

Oh my goodness Jamie! Thank you! I love that idea and I’m already on Pinterest getting some inspo! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰

[@rwsmith6809]

I think you all have done a marvelous job with your studio, especially the way you have defined your three zones. On the blank wall ( no shelves or gallery to avoid clutter) I would use the entire wall from just below ceiling down to electric switchplate to showcase one large piece of art in pastel/neutral colors or a beatiful framed mirror to bounce some light around. Then in the foot of space on the right by the window I would get a large green ZZ plant( very easy care, impossible to kill, perfect light area) in a light grey or cream pot to soften area and bring some life to the corner. It would also hide the little extras there behind it.

[@haliestock]

Oooooo I am loving these suggestions!! 😍😍😍 Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@iviv940]

​@@haliestock Hello. Could you share how much you pay per month for this studio and where it is located? I apologize if you explained. But I don't understand English well. I was just wondering what the apartment looked like.😊

[@RachelGray33]

On the wall maybe a big mirror to make the space bigger looking - just and idea!

[@haliestock]

Yes love that idea!!

[@lunanuna1041]

Beautiful space! I would add shelving for extra storage and art, books and knick knack display. We look forward to see what you end up doing with the blank space!

[@thoughts3897]

Great place --question though: How does the heat circulate throughout the apartment during the winter ? I know NYC apartments are notoriously hot but still seems like you need to keep vents unblocked for circulation. Good use of space though.

[@haliestock]

Great question! To be honest our radiator doesn’t circulate the heat very much anyway! And it’s such a small space that it doesn’t take much to heat it up 🥵 But under the little fireplace surround we have a retro looking space heater that we can turn on if needed 👍

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

The doggie is everything 🧡

[@haliestock]

Aww thank you!! He’s the best we are obsessed haha ❤️

[@sherrycohen1824]

Your place is fabulous. One question, though. Have you considered replacing your crock pot with a multipot? We recently got a multipot and were able to donate the rice cooker and crock pot. My husband loves to use the pressure cooker feature, too.

[@haliestock]

Ooo I will have to look into that! 🤩 Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@angelehudson]

I love your Decour I believe that a nice big mirror would go well on that wall! It would open up the space significantly!

[@haliestock]

Thank you so so much for watching! 🥰 Yes cannot agree more! On the hunt for the perfect 🪞 now!

[@barbaragonzalez3504]

Love Sampson. The Apartment looks cute, comfortable, and neat. The empty space might benefit from some shelves or a big mirror.

[@haliestock]

Aw thank you Barbara! 😍

[@antoniojones5109]

Very nice luv tha way u decorated kitchen & lights switches U guys can put a very nice pic’ that’s special 2 both of u genius idea on headboard situation👍 Oh luv that little table u painted!!!

[@haliestock]

Thank you so much Antonio!! & love the photo idea!! 🤗

[@analea6531]

I love how you made it work and it’s beautifully decorated ❤

[@haliestock]

Thank you so much Ana!! 🥰

[@auroratorres7873]

Very cute and well -organized studio. As far as the blank wall, if you need additional storage, you can put several floating shelves. If you are good on space and don't need to store other things, a gallery wall would work. Perhaps a big painting and several smaller ones on the sides. You could also paint the wall another color to make it stand out before putting up artwork. Your puppy is adorable. He is in a wonderful home!

[@haliestock]

Ah thank you so so much Aurora! This is helpful!! I was thinking that same thing or maybe even some fun peel & stick wallpaper as well!

[@michellemcneill5313]

Sampson is adorable and I love your place perfect for city living 🌸

[@haliestock]

Thank you so much Michelle!! 🥰

[@mariapinto2498]

I love your studio. It is so well decorated. I would put a hanging shelf with maybe a candle on it and a small plant. Sampson is so beautiful 😍

[@haliestock]

Aww thank you Maria!! 🐶❤️🌱🕯️

[@nazaregil171]

Beautiful studio and puppy too😊😊❤❤! I will put a gallery at the wall. Thank You! Kisses from Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤

[@chrissyobermeyer1139]

Like everyone else has said, you’ve done a great job with the space that you have. Very classy! I gave you credit for being able to live in such a small space with your husband! Have you guys thought about getting a one bedroom in the near future?

[@haliestock]

Aw thank you Chrissy! 😍 It definitely can be a tight squeeze sometimes 😅 We looked at 1 bedrooms originally but everything in our price range just felt so claustrophobic (small rooms, small kitchen, not great windows, etc)! So we decided to be more open-minded to a studio so that we could have more of an open concept! We feel so grateful we found this spot! But all that to say, YES we are definitely open to getting a 1 bedroom eventually 😂

[@chrissyobermeyer1139]

@@haliestock I can imagine the prices in NY! In CA where I am, it’s expensive enough!! 🤣

[@Vinnie-cv5qv]

Nice apartment. I would suggest raising the height of the curtain rods to the ceiling and also the light above the artwork is too big. I am not sure I keep seeing decorative light switches when one that is the same color as the wall would not attract so much attention. Also, I have the same fuse box in my apartment and I just placed a deep framed piece of art and that solved the problem. You might just want to relocate the small artwork and just go all out and get a huge piece of art. I will have a wow factor.You can also place the child's dresser in the middle of your closet and bring it up to the doors. This would allow you to not only open the drawers without any obstruction, but it will also give you a few needed inches for extra storage space in back of the dresser.

[@crisosb8405]

You should utilize the inside of the closet door with over the door storage for shoes and clothes.

[@haliestock]

That’s brilliant!! 🤩

[@lucieduquette645]

Beautiful studio, great decor. Love samson. Leave the wall white unadorne....

[@haliestock]

Thank you so much Lucie!! ❤️

[@jessecarlstock]

Kitchen TV idea is still on the table! 😜

[@haliestock]

Hahaha no way mister!

[@sandymorrow7477]

I would definitely put shelving on that blank wall!

[@valerieann2751]

Very nice. I would probably do minimal shelf and maybe just a minimal art work on the blank wall. Not too much visual clutter . Could also add a wallpaper there.

[@haliestock]

Okay wallpaper sounds so fun!! Like a little accent wall situation! I’m loving it!

[@valerieann2751]

@@haliestock yes and maybe add a little mini chandelier too

[@haliestock]

@@valerieann2751 Okay you totally get me! Love this idea 🤩

[@momohead35]

Put a mirror up - or shelves/cabinet la with mirrors to make the space bigger on the wall by the kitchen.

[@haliestock]

Check out this video to see what I ended up doing with that blank wall: NYC APARTMENT | Final Kitchen Update (for now… lol) kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3zZc3SHiqeUqbc 🧡

[@sweetsalee]

Very nice. Is that a standing up shower in your bathroom or a tub and shower?

[@haliestock]

I wish it was a tub! But no, it’s just a standing up shower!

[@sweetsalee]

@@haliestock Love the standup shower.

I’m honestly not sure how many square feet it is but I would say somewhere between 400-500?

Love your organization!! Very inspirational!

[@haliestock]

Thank you so much!! It definitely took a while to figure out how to make it all work in such a small space but it feels good to have a system now haha ☺️

A pop of color like an accent wall

[@haliestock]

Oooo I like that idea!!

[@maddscientist3170]

4 good size windows! wish they would put the fridge handles on the correct side for the kitchen flow.....NYC seems to have a problem with that !! LMAO you need more storage in kitchen

[@maryalicestewart8409]

on the wall a mirror to reflect light

Wondering if you work from how, how would that work? No work station?

We use the kitchen island as our desk! We also have an adjustable laptop stand we use for a standing desk on the island or counter :)

Cute place but isn’t it a fire hazard to have your bed so close to the heater?

I would add a mirror and string lights to empty wall

[@haliestock]

Shelving with mirrors behind it for the kitchen. A hard no on another TV

[@alessandrasannuto5486]

but why covering the heater with the bed, that does not make much sense, wierd

[@haliestock]

I know, it’s definitely not ideal but there’s really no other wall that the bed could sit against unfortunately :/ Thankfully the heater is quite powerful & still heats the room a lot!
