Short hair really suits you so well leonie.

[@emilytygoer1764]

All the color choices are so beautiful. The risk in the bathroom was totallly worth it turned out so stunning ( I did the same thing in my bathroom but with a dark lavender color and golden stars I painted all over the walls)

Also, my suspicion is the Dutch don't upload as much on Vinted as the French do, Vinted has been really pushing the "please sell more" message to me (a Dutch person)

@@Arawn505 heavily slept on line

[@Elle_Riley]

I always think of this part whenever I'm on the phone with my mom and my dog hears her voice and is confused by my telling her it's mama. "My mom's not a phone! DUH!!" 🤣🤣

[@PinAda92]

90's kids will always know that

[@dorrolorro]

I heard that having a darker bedroom actually helps with sleep. The darker colour affects our circadian rhythm and can be really beneficial for falling asleep. I would actually paint all of the walls to optimize this 😊

[@notkira9546]

genuinely love the way you unknowingly "spoiled" the bedroom colour with your outfit choice

[@AngelaGranaVarela]

I hate white walls and furniture (it's a sickness, for real lol). So, for my house, I knew I wanted all the ceilings to be painted like the walls. Every single person looked at me like I was just a tad insane LOL And I made it even better by choosing a dark color for my bedroom (actually something in the same realm as you! great minds think alike, they say) and, once again, painting the ceiling the same color. I got told a million times that it'd be dark and feel small. The room has more than enough space, and you can still fit the exact same furniture, so for me it only makes it cozier, not smaller in any way. And I will forever die on this hill hahaha So I love your idea for the bathroom! I think it was the right call for such a white, honestly kinda lifeless space. And I basically did the exact same thing as you and ended up choosing lighter colors than I originally planned in quite a few rooms. Honestly, I regretted it haha I was scared everything would be too dark and now I wish the colors were stronger and had more presence. But it's just paint, so you can always repaint in the future.

[@willchar13]

AAA the mirrors 😭😭😭 theyre so cool!! especially the mucha one oh my god

[@JaroslavP]

Just found your stream and enjoyed it. Good advice about painting, choosing colours. For the bathroom you are totally right about colour of the lights. And you can change that by choosing warmer or cooler light bulbs! The colour is listed and identified by degrees Kelvin, and the higher the number, the "cooler", bluer the light is. Also, this could be listed as Warm White, Daylight, or Cool White. Your new place looks lovely! Enjoy!

[@jennmarie123]

🎶… What, you think I'm stupid? I'm not a part of your system My dad's not a phone! 🎵 All the colours you chose are incredible! So happy for you on this new apartment journey!

[@FredHMusic-gr7nu]

Man, this ain’t my dad. This is a cell phone.

[@wandering_inge]

The colours look great! Don't forget it's currently the brightest time of year, in winter the colours will look darker. And curtains will also make things look darker.

[@gregorylucas3954]

Living in America it's a wild concept that you can paint your apartment. If I was to do that in any of the places I've lived I would be heavily fined. Love the aesthetic!

[@ellakelly612]

As an Australian it's also wild 🤭 one can dream

[@Shego5000]

As a german, I agree. You wouldn't be fined here, but you'd have to get it back into its original state when moving out, and (in this case) had to try to cover up oxblood with white paint or completely redo the wallpaper, which is quite the hassle. 😅

[@gregorylucas3954]

@@Shego5000 I’d be okay with that. Shoot I’d even settle for just an accent wall if I couldn’t paint every wall.

[@gregorylucas3954]

@@ellakelly612 crazy that other countries are like that I really thought it was just some dumb USA thing. P.S. Australian accents 👌

[@Shego5000]

@@gregorylucas3954 I think I'd personally only consider accent walls if I know that I'll stay in the apartment for at least three years (if at all). I also have to admit that my parents always tell me that white walls are superior (because you can have colourful things in the room, without clashing with wall colour) and that coloured walls are bad, colourful wallpaper is bad, and painted ceilings are an absolute nightmare. 🥲So I'm slightly biased...

[@woodlandlady7011]

Your new apartment is much brighter with your choice of colours, Leonie. Here's to a relatively stress free move.🥂

[@emilyking9129]

Why did I full on expect to actually see myself when Leonie went "look at yourself" with the mirror lol 😅😂

[@Textilenerd123]

Another tip for the paint swatches, I highly recommend painting swatches on multiple areas in the room, doing at least 2 coats (cause that’s how you’ll paint it on the walls once you’ve chosen) and then live with it for at least a week. That way you see it in multiple different kinds of light multiple times. Don’t rush choosing paint colors! Source: someone who painted a lot of walls in her childhood home

[@just-a-witch-who-reads]

I really love that ox blood colour, that is georgous 😍

[@viivi4196]

that first mirror with the lady on it is SO GORGEOUS! also, I think you chose amazing wall colors despite saying they could've been darker - that happens a lot but the walls look so great! I especially love the green colors but they all fit your vibe so well! I wish I could paint my walls with my friends too, it would be such a fun activity but unfortunately I'm victim to the "you can't paint your walls in this rental apartment" curse

[@Laurenlad]

Yes, the people know. Andy Samburg’s ‘and then I throw it on the ground’ is iconic

[@simonjohnwright5129]

You are so great. Don't change, you are just so great.

[@LeeHutchy26]

Love hearing The Kinks in the background of you guys messing around with the sheets.

[@nickele]

Oooh, I love the colours you chose! If the bedroom ends up feeling too small, you could always add a mirror. My friend has this huge vintage mirror (in landscape format) on a dark green wall, and it looks stunning!

[@LoonyLovegood-c4q]

Moving is so hard, love your use of colours in this grey world XD

[@dorrolorro]

a tip about painting and taping off certain parts. To get super crisp lines, paint over the tape with the other colour first. That way, any colour bleeding will be blocked by the other colour and the line will be super sharp.

[@peridawn2037]

Ugh you look so beautiful in that thumbnail!! So excited for this video ❤

[@laramlz_]

hope your new home reflects everything you are 💚💚 loving the vlogs

[@catsandbats77]

That Mucha mirror is gorgeous! 😍 All the walls turned out fantastic. Love both of the greens, especially.

[@nummy_nummers]

I love the colour in the bathroom! I was thinking 'green would look great' and then you picked green 💚 I am imagining you having a trailing plant up on that dividing wall between the shower and the nook because as we all know from the rating bookshelves video you love a plant 😊 Really enjoying this new apartment content!!

[@alexiswaver9041]

Yes, oxblood really works for the room

[@themoontomyconverses]

Those color testers are so cool and convenient!! I love the colors you chose!!

[@kolmkilpkonna]

I think not going toooo dark might have been a good idea. :) It is summer now, I think the colours will look much darker in winter when there is less natural light and it is rainy or snowing outside.

[@shelbyskeen5151]

Those paint sample things are so cool. How have I never seen those before???

[@cheyannekirsten4667]

19:25 the fact that I painted my in home library the same color brings me so much joy ❤️❤️❤️

[@sophhnavarro]

I'm so glad you went with Ox Blood, it looks stunning!

[@laradadic908]

That Mucha mirror made me gasp when I saw it! Such a beautiful piece, I want three of them 😂

[@christinemartin8549]

I love the Ox Blood. I was a white wall person forever, but now I have colors in every room. It makes me so happy. 😊 Love this series. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@whoatemychocolate]

This is how I find out about vinted having a home decor section 😱 I know what I'll be spending my Saturday doing. They have a section for pet stuff!!! 😍🐶 ETA: Oh also, love the paint color choices! I think I'll look into painting some more of my walls.

[@maddummel]

If you can I'd change the bathroom fixtures to gold 👀 or black. it's not so expensive but can make a hell of a difference!

[@anemelo-tsourekaki]

Maaan!! I literally live for these moments, I love moving houses and especially getting to decorate a new apartment! Looks like you're having fun with yours, way to go! 😊💖

[@ArielAntenna]

I can’t wait to see how you decorate your house, it’s definitely going to inspire me to add more to my own hehe. I have a dark cool tone green in my living room and with dark wood furniture it’s beautiful. I would say for your bathroom switch out to gold hardware because gold compliments green so much, and some fake plants?! that would be beautiful (i say fake plants cuz i’m not sure if your bathroom has windows) Also maybe some lamps in your bathroom for some mood lighting

[@imfromneverland3692]

They way you think is so entertaining to listen to in your main channel, but the way you are is just so fun ❤ I enjoy so much every little thing you do, you put so much detail and care into everything 🫶✨

[@sammy-dk4oq]

your thumbnail is so cute you look like a magic girl on a witch hat atelier cover 🤩 love the apartment reno content 🪄

[@sbug4]

try out a different color light bulb ( daylight, blueish light, warm light, etc) in your bathroom if you're not happy with how the green turned out, its a cheap and easy fix that might help!

[@neojuns3852]

your home is beautiful, can't wait for decoration videos 😻

[@carmenunzuebasagoiti9133]

Can’t wait to see how you decorate the whole house. I absolutely love your style it’s going to be magical!

[@BleistiftSchwert]

I‘m so happy you’re giving me so much inspiration since I’ll also move this year :D

[@PacificOcean609]

As someone who just moved two weeks ago, the part where you said that you have to pack gave me goosebumps. Best of luck and patience. And definitely write the content of the boxes on the boxes, otherwise you'll live two weeks without half of your underwear.

[@starlasell5698]

I love your color selections in all the rooms. The bathroom is awesome! Looking forward to more videos as you continue decorating the rooms!

[@alexah8521]

Going to be watching all of these moving vlogs!!

[@bo6629]

Leonie, I just wanted you to know that these videos are absolutely amazing so far!! Keep up the good work and congrats on your new apartment (it looks great already)

[@NicolinaDragan]

Omg, the color from the bathroom is my favorite. It looks so fancy!! Also, I really loce the mirrors!

[@soshy.illustration9454]

Loved the video and following along to you decorating your new space. When colours dry they do tend to go a touch brighter mostly. I wondered if it wouldn't have been an option to have colours mixed? Like when you coulnd't decide between three - why not mix them all together? :D I think the green in the bathroom works really well!😍 Also be very careful when moving in not to touch the fresh painted wall so much with your hands or scratch them with anything. I had a a beautiful dark red wall as well once and you could see fat stains from hands very easily and it scratched quickly as well 😅

[@ChantelleArts]

That red that you've chosen is gorgeous!! I've just moved into my first home and this has now got me super excited to decorate🥰

[@gilliangracee]

okay do you have a Pinterest account because i am so obsessed with your interior decor taste!!

[@circlinq]

Im more of a warm Woody vanilla type but those colors really suit you!!!

[@ladyrosenrot1514]

I'm so glad you went with Oxblood.it's gorgeous😍

[@badfaith4u]

Your new apartment looks gorgeous after the painting.

[@yoyoioana16]

I really enjoy these series, I am looking for a new apartment myself and given that I do have a similar taste to you for interior spaces, I think I will take a little inspiration 🕯

[@alinegreen7266]

All the colours are so beautiful, my favourites are the matta latte (the name fits PERFECT) and the accent wall, love me some accent walls😍My dream is also painting my future bathroom walls, maybe put up wall paper, my vision is a little lighter and maybe more pastel than your colour choices, but thats so great about us, we are all so different🥰 I don`t know how many layers you painted, if you only painted one layer, try another one, but I am sure you did at least 2 layers😅

[@JennyAngel93]

me and my bf are alos in the process of moving and decided to paint a few rooms in our new home, we now have a dark blue bedroom, muted red living room and dark green office and i love it

[@stationery-and-stories]

Omg remodelling our kitchen and the orange/tan/forest-emerald green combo is our inspo!!!! Maximalism is so much more interesting than minimalism 😍

[@rhapsodyinbleu]

I'm excited to see how the finished apartment looks!! You have such great taste in colors and decorations even though I'd personally go for pastel colors myself. I can see your vision though!

[@sirgnome]

Your bathroom looks like very similar to the green that I color drenched my living room with. Very pretty!

[@susi4019]

I'm just a bit concerned for your privacy, because you didn't blur the windows. There are strange people online, be carefull

[@martinablest9800]

I do! And i love this song! And On the boat too hahahah😂😂😂 Well, almost every songs of Andy are so much fun!! Grateful color, Leonie, especially the bedroom. Kisses from Chile!

[@Thegermangirl10]

You are such a beautiful person inside and outside ❤wish you the best for your New Apartment 😊

[@hannahschneider9761]

I also went decidedly anti-beige/millennial grey (I AM a millennial) in my house! I've got everything from dark blue to purple on my walls, and I love it :) Also, the exterior of my house is yellow. Here in Australia, there is an absolute mania for flipping houses and painting them really depressing colours. I'm so over it. And actually just in the last few months I have definitely noticed more colours (albeit tentative!) coming back, which is a relief. All the very best as you continue to settle in :) xox

[@user-friendly-b6q]

I learn so much from you Leonie, thank you so much . Best of luck with furniture !!

[@zofiabochenska1240]

Those colours are *stunning* 🤩 Can't wait to see what you will do with the whole place!

[@ryebeeee]

I can not wait to see the finished result with the furniture and you fully moved in. Everything looks so good! Watching this makes me want to move into my own place however, my country hates the idea that a 22 year old would want to buy their own place in this economy.

[@charlotteluker2146]

It makes me so happy to know that little kids on the other side of the world from me also make soup from twigs. It’s funny to think about how many universal experiences we all have, and all I can think of is Leo tearing up leaves and throwing them in her “cauldron”
