my first HOUSE TOUR as a home owner [living solo in Cambridge in my twenties]

[@milenark]

A lot of my favourite studytubers just kind of stop posting when they transition from uni into the workforce and I am left rewatching their old content over and over again - thank you Paige for keeping your channel alive!

[@MyAliasAndNoOneElses]

10000% agree!!

[@hermanjacobs4425]

She’s living the ultimate dream of all young people in their twenties : A great career ahead, an income to make an independent living and most importantly, a home you could truly live on your own terms without nagging parents or difficult roommates. It’s rather hard not to be envious of her circumstances.

[@salmabelmekki6146]

Congrats! First house in your early twenties is very impressive. #goals

[@Slated_tales]

It's so pretty, I remember watching you when I was in 9th grade, living with so many people in University but now you own a house. I feel proud ☺️

[@lizaval03]

Love your house! Could you make a video about saving up for a house and the process of buying one maybe? That would be really interesting and helpful!

[@PaigeY]

Definitely in the works!

[@anikam5087]

Hi Paige! I adore your house! I'm studying for my law entrance exam, and I've been rewatching all your Cambridge "Day in the Life" videos whenever I need motivation. It's incredible to see how far you've come and how much you've achieved. All the very best to you. Love from India.

[@colenugget1620]

Ok I'm so glad I watched this because that style of light in the lounge might solve a lighting problem I'm having. It offers light in multiple directions with one fixture which means it won't be overly bright either but evenly lit! Also, this was a lovely tour. It seems like it feels like home with the cute personal touches like the pooh bear bowls and mittens and the little doggie doorstop and the photos. The most important thing is that you're settled, comfortable, and safe.

[@lauraelisee]

I find UK homes so interesting! We typically have closets or walk in closets as a separate room or space with a door in the US instead of wardrobes. Love your cute little home, Paige! Would love more house content! ❤

[@Honeeybee2505]

Hey Paige, this is such a cute house! So cool to see how you turned it into yours by adding your own style to it and making the best out of the space you got. Love this kind of content hoping to see more of it!

[@lisadavis1952]

Omg! Congrats you deserve more! I recently purchased mine last two months paid in cash. Watching this video makes me feel very proud of who I am and of what I’ve accomplished. I’m glad I made a wise financial choice that changed me. Sending you good and positive vibes .❤️

[@lisadavis1952]

@Reece Milner thank you.❤

[@lisadavis1952]

@kim taylor Here are some tips that helped me: 1. Plan towards it. 2. Be frugal and minimal on spending( don’t buy what you don’t need). 3. Save money towards retirement( Roth IRA/401k). 4. Build an emergency fund. 5. Save to invest. This is the most important because it’s a proven way to get richer. Very important to financial success.

[@PaigeY]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[@lisadavis1952]

There numerous investmnt options, including real estate, cryptocurrncy, stocks and EFTs but my best recommendation is to work with a professional to help you choose.

[@lisadavis1952]

I recommend the service of Virginia May Wynne; she’s a good one, I’ve been working with her for a good time and she has been influential in my finacial journey. I can highly suggest her

[@AysenurToptas]

Paige, your house is beautiful! Buying a house is really a good decision!😊😊

[@jeeveshbudhia]

I have been following you since your very first video and it makes me so happy to see you succeeding in your career ❤

[@onehumanfromearth5063]

Home is the comfiest place to be - WP. Keeping a handheld vacuum in the pantry is useful to do small cleanups quickly. The galaxy projector is a cool item! Nice vogue house tour and well done on buying your house and making it a home 👏.

[@Scifi-eh8fw]

Your house is lovely Paige and you’ve made it so cosy. As a fellow short person I put things that don’t get used as often on the top shelves off cupboards. I’ve got a little step stool that folds down flat and can be easily stored for when I need it.

[@PaigeY]

A stool is such a good shout!

[@BobSmith-pw4jz]

Congrats on the house, Paige :)! I like the colour of the kitchen and bathroom. My only suggested change/upgrade would maybe be another railing for the other side of your stairs. Since the stairs are so open, and the current railing looks quite minimal, an additional railing could offer some safety as something to grab onto in case of a stumble/fall (falling from stair #5 down to the wood floor, or even sideways onto the glass coffee table, could be quite unpleasant!) All the best!

[@markjefferson7492]

I've been avidly watching your videos, as my son has just had an offer from Downing to study medicine. Good luck with your new job and thank you for all the insights in to Cambridge life.

[@sarah_kale]

I'd put up a curtain to hide the stored stuff under the stairs, that would make it more cozy and calm. I'd also get some plants :)

[@PaigeY]

This crossed my mind! Would make neater as well. Thanks for suggesting!

[@AnaSousa-oj2mg]

Paige your house is so beautiful! So happy for you! 😍 A few suggestions: You can print some images, photos or even quotes and hang on the wall where the stairs are. Fulfills more the wall and looks really nice, You can add a few plants (natural or artificial) - gives a nice touch to every home On the bathroom, on the cabinet you can buy storage boxes or even a stroller to put below the water heater so you can easily organize stuff. One idea is also to paint some walls in the house with a different colour, for example, the wall on the room where the bed is. Paint is not super expensive and gives a new vibe to the room. But don't need to rush, things are expensive, I've got my house for 2 years and I still have things to buy.. take you time, you're house is amazing! Enjoy your house and all the success for you! Big hug from Portugal 💜😘

[@ninthusiva7546]

Stop advising people about what to do. How does your home look? Are you listening to every strangers advice?

[@jawadnawaz7209]

Congratulations PaigeY. You have come so far in this journey and we've been with you in all the ups and downs. Best of luck. 12-2-23

[@preethimanoharan1795]

Hi Paige.. can you make a video with your detailed study planning, how you schedule studying in between work and your whole schedule until exam day. It would be very helpful ❤️

[@PaigeY]

Will add to my list! There is already a video from a couple of years ago where I make a study plan too 😊

[@susanhodges5288]

Amazing house tour and well done for all you have achieved

[@strawandherb2452]

I loooove the toaster and kettle set

[@franci.12]

Thank you for keeping posting after your degree❣️ I’m your follower from Italy! I like your house!! Francesca

[@ninaborcherding-jn3ku]

I love the house. Since you said it gets quite cold, I'd recommend checking and possibly renewing all the seals(?) around your windows and entrance door. Good seals can make such a difference. Here in Germany we are very meticulous about those things because it can save you money :-D

[@imishikade]

love the kitchen!! very soothing color palette

[@Callan0305]

LOVE your new home! A couple of suggestions ... Try larger artwork on the walls and when hanging smaller items, create a grouping to fill out the space. There are some really cool websites that have very affordable art and frames.

[@PaigeY]

Yesss love the tips!

[@truthseeker632]

It’s a lovely flat but I would make the wall between the kitchen and living room solid. It wouldn’t cost a lot but would make the downstairs look less like a bedsit. You could put open shelves on either side with plants or interesting things in. Definitely think about a loft conversion as that could become your office and free up the downstairs to be a larger living/dining space.

[@meganhardiman5026]

I love your new home! The cupboards in my kitchen are also really high. I ordered a fold away step from Amazon so I can now reach the top cupboards when I need to, it might be worth ordering one if you think it will be helpful! :))

[@michaelennis5090]

Great house tour, love the engaging style of your presentation. Only thing I can say is get unit to fit under stairs to store your clarinet and saxophone. Also think about installing a combination card boiler and radiators to warm the house and f

[@michaelennis5090]

IT will also mean you do not need a water storage tank

[@bimmeroo0906]

Your storage heaters more than likely work off Economy 7, which is at a cheaper night rate. I keep mine at 3 on the input dial, a modest warmth but yes when it gets very cold, if you turn up to 3.25 and higher...then you start to drink the electricity. I like to let all the heat out so put output up to 5. For some odd reason, mine then seem to come back in at 5pm...drawing off the heat still in the fire bricks. One difference to you, I have a wood burner also which is nice and cosy from 3pm.

[@awesomeme39083]

Loved the house tour! I noticed you used a suitcase ribbon (20:05)

[@PaigeY]

Always haha

[@sekarrizqiramadhani]

Already follow your journey since got accepted to cambridge and now seeing you succeed in realizing your dream, I feel happy too. Your house look so pretty, though ❤

[@Runforyourwine]

I gasped at the pantry 😍

Your house is sooo cosy !! Love it. ❤

Congratulations Paige, well done

[@laurens8229]

Please can you do a video about how you get a mortgage/how much deposit you needed etc as it would be really helpful

[@PaigeY]

In the works!

OMG! Sooo much love from Pakistan ❤️ been following your vlogs since you were a student

[@hgnnnnnnnn4184]

I recognize Vee’s book from your shelf! Makes one wonder if you two have ever met, I think you’d make great friends 😊

[@梁科言]

Beautiful house! Congratulations! Wish you be better🥰

[@karishmabadal6152]

You work for my dad’s company, he told me to watch you videos as we’re at similar stages in life (although trying to qualify in different things) and I’m not ready to buy for another year haha! I’ll see you at some point I’m sure, good luck with everything xxx

[@PaigeY]

Thanks for watching Karishma! Good luck with your next steps too. This qualifying stuff is hard work haha

[@hansanaik3835]

Nice house. I love the light fixtures. I also like that you have everything you need in the house without too much clutter. Your parents should be so proud of you. You have reused everything you have previously owned and you have bought second hand furniture as well. The chairs from your family friend are very cute. Get a step stool and use all the kitchen cabinets for storage.

[@adrikasaha9764]

Seeing you in your own house after a dorm in cambridge is certainly a huge leap! So proud! xoxo

[@bethaneydunne9682]

Amazing House Paige thanks for sharing 👍

[@maraamadel]

love your house! can you make a video about how you edit your video so that we can learn from you!

[@mariekato7796]

Love how you gave the hose persenallety trough your pinks/ winnie the pooh/ ect. Do you have a garden?

[@CodeDeb]

I would put in craftsman (off) white paneling in the downstairs living room on the bottom half of the wall. On the top half same color framing to create “plain” (just wall) panels where I would put textured pale pink wallpaper to match your aesthetic I would also get a custom cut triangular white panel to cover the storage area below the stairs I would find a way to feature the coffee tables more - those are really nice I would put a plant in the window next to the dining table. Even a fake plant, if you are not good at watering. Personally, I would move the desk to the window where the round table is, so that when you sit down on the sofa to relax you won’t be staring at work. Then you could move the tv over and create a more relaxing entertainment area I would put a rectangular high top table in the kitchen by the dryer and dine there Bedroom: Lose the bean bag. Only taking up room Put a dressing table in the bean bag space, so you can sit and do your makeup, and store 90 percent of the items on top of the dresser there Get a built in wardrobe . It will look much better and give you more storage so you can get that suitcase out of the middle of your room Storage closets: get some inexpensive shelving units from Amazon or Ikea so you can organize those areas better Loft conversion: Hold off on that until you get the entire house furnished and decorated to an elevated level. That will add value without disrupting your life The loft conversion would probably cost more than you think and disrupt your work from home and your studying Kitchen: Buy a small, foldable step stool to reach top steps. Store in pantry Spices: Spices are expensive! Buy two staple spices every time you go to the grocery store. Within five trips you will have the basics and won’t feel the pain so much You can also order much nicer spices on Amazon (at least here in the US). Get a set of matching jars and a label maker to keep your spice storage looking clean and organized I use / order ground spices as much as possible. I think they are more flavorful Keep your spices in alphabetical order so you don’t accidentally buy a spice you already own. Definitely speaking from experience on that one 😅😂

[@CodeDeb]

@Nicky L I’ve ordered some from a farm through Amazon and they are very good quality and a much better price than at the grocery store and we have plenty of ethnic grocery stores in my area I think they’re a “once every few years” purchase but the costs adds up if you are starting with nearly none And, yes, I had the time this morning! 😅😂

Great vid. Could you also add the link of the backpack?

[@silvialogan9226]

Paige, your house looks very nice. Do you clean the house or do you get somebody to do it? Are there rooms in the attic which you were talking about? I loved your diploma which is on the wall. I have five hung up on my bedroom wall.

Hi . I am a cameroonian student completing a bachelor degree of fundamental mathematics this summer from a non acredited university (university of Yaoundé 1), therefore il will start writting my actuarial exams on september and i have some questions for you . Is it possible toi study well for these exams only with core reading provided by the ifoa and the old exams paper ? I heard about mentorship and i want to know if i can have a mentor outside my country . The only ifoa's subject covered during my Bachelor studies is cs1 but i would like to know if it IS possible to merge many curicula (probabilities , descriptives statistics and inferencial statistics taught at 100 and 200 levels) to apply to exemption for this paper . Is the Bachelor degree+exams enough to be attractive on the job market ? Good Luck for your next exams if you have not already completed your fellowship . Hopefull you will reply to my questions and sorry for my written language, i'm still learning to speak in english
