What $2,350 Will Get You In L.A. | Sweet Digs | Refinery29

The adorable way she was holding Cash in the beginning had me dying 🐶 so cute

[@jaieatsplants]

Same! I literally said to myself how do I get my dog to let me hold her like that 😂

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

Cash was just chilling, he loved it

[@ballison1716]

Yea too cute 😍

[@maamajamma]

I absolutely loved this apartment. Her cool laid back funky style conveys so posh yet comfortable. The space is nice and airy while also being homey. You can tell she uses every room in that apartment and everything was intentional and has a place. Good job.

[@lululemonbar9110]

Queue the “I have a 6 bedroom home in “Indiana, Texas etc” comments. People pay for LOCATION. The people always whining about their place is cheaper don’t realize it’s for a REASON! LA has millions of tourists and relocaters from all of the world because people want to be there, which drives up the cost of living. So if your home is cheap it’s probably because only a few want to be there.

[@temeka4288]

Yeah, and there is always some one like you telling people the same thing about location. We get it about both comments. People are going to complain because they can.

[@WinterWitch01]

@@temeka4288 especially if it’s anything to do with California. A certain group of people love to say Cali is a shithole & that’s why people are “fleeing to red states” in reality they’re fleeing the high costs of housing. You can get a 5 bed/3 bath with a 3 car garage and a nice size yard in surrounding states, for what you’d pay for an apartment or a 2 bed home, but you won’t have that beautiful California sunshine year round either.

[@lululemonbar9110]

@@WinterWitch01 agreed. People also want to be in CA for the culture, opportunities not just weather. There’s a reason why the worlds biggest companies are in CA. I understand the hate against CA too. I have left Multiple times to live in places like Texas, Oregon but no place compares to California honestly.

The apartment is very LA, and I love how bright and airy it is. The balcony is the best part!

Love her energy. Her place is stunning and her dog is adorable

[@Kiara-xh3he]

Her, her dog and her apartment are so cute ✨✨ so cute!!!

[@getlowpapoose]

I love what she did with her space; this is my kinda apartment!

[@laurynhiggins968]

The dog is literally the best thing I've ever seen!

[@loveforeignaccents]

He's adorable, and he looks like the type of dog that is always going to have that youngster look.

[@AdrienneMint]

I just left a comment about loving your dog but now I’d like to say how much I love what you’ve done with your space. It’s beautiful and comfy and I think you have a real talent for home design. I just love it!

[@tiffanyhollywood2108]

😱😱😱 You did an A-MA-ZING job!!! OMGOODNESS! I LOVE your place! So bright, cozy, warm, and Sooooo 70s! Yassssss! 😁 I was a teenager in the 70s and I still Love 70s and also 50s just as you! I absolutely Lovvvve both the fashion and design style of both eras! Your bedroom is a flash from the past for me (in such a beautiful way)! Your nook that you created!!! Omgoodness😱😱😱 I immediately looked at my dining room to see if I can do the same with it!! Again, Amazing job with Everything!!!!! 🤗 You speak of your dad in such a loving and endearing way❣️ As a parent myself, I know your dad is proud of you. Well done young lady. Well done. 🪴🌺💕🤍🧡🤎💞🏵️🪴

[@CarlaLR74]

This style is what I aspire to. The main pieces of furniture are classic which is very practical.

[@natashanicole67]

Love how she did the dining nook! From a fellow Angeleno, such a cute idea for an apartment space!

[@Keirabug]

I love these videos. I also live in a really expensive area with a small apartment and these realistic videos give me so many ideas for my own small space

[@amandajohnson4428]

Shelbys home is beautiful. She decorated it nicely. It looks very comfy and inviting. I’d love to hangout on the balcony. Great job. 💕

[@SarahMalfoy995]

I would love a series on how to actually afford these places

[@OhCorrica]

Their money diaries articles do a good job showing how people budget! The first step is having a high salary.

[@EmmaVB82]

I love what she’s done with the space… you can really see how much thought has gone in to creating different zones and working with the space there, and I’m definitely taking inspiration for my own open plan apartment! (Kitchen/dining/living/work space all in one, though I have a separate entryway and bedroom). I really love those gold globe light fixtures, and I’m definitely planning to get some of those for my own home (right now my dining area is just a storage zone, so I don’t have any fixture on the overhead light there because I don’t want to draw attention to it!) Super jealous of the balcony - that’s a really good space, and that circular snuggle chair looks so cosy! I have huge west-facing windows (amazing view and sunsets, insanely hot in the afternoons/evenings from Apr-Oct!), but would love some outside space like that.

[@joycebaker85]

I really enjoyed this one! Her energy is so upbeat and I love her decor especially the balcony!

[@blessingboamah7340]

What a beautiful space, I love the open layout, the plants and the gold accents throughout the apartment.

[@thebrightestrainbowever3841]

What a fun appartment! So many fun and inspired ideas!!😍💜🌈. Also her dog is soo cute 🥰💜🌈☀️

[@LittleMissScarletta]

The smoothie/wellness station is the most 2021 thing I’ve ever seen lol

[@WinterWitch01]

During the holidays everyone was doing hot coco bars, imo it was just a way for people to flex their Keurig.

[@louisevandermerwe3564]

Your apartment is stunning! You really do have a talent when it comes to styling interiors.

[@brendagonzalez2750]

I love the vibe of this whole apartment. The colors and calming and inviting.

What a gorgeous designed home. Your dog Cash is mesmerizing to look at; gorgeous and sweet!

And ya have to make 3 times the rent to qualify 🙃

[@espritsmith243]

Love this! Brentwood is such a cute area and seems she has made such a warm and welcoming home there.

[@loveforeignaccents]

Super expensive cuz of the area/location of course, but it is so adorable the way she decorated everything! Love the way her two area rugs and shower curtain match her dog's colors... btw, he steals the show w/his cuteness! Also her dad appeared easy on the eyes too! So I love plants too but can't imagine having 52 of them; wonder how much times she spends watering them?

[@nm6818]

Your place is stunning. Perfect. Your dad seems awesome.

[@ibryce14]

it’s giving urban outfitterssss

[@emilysalce6491]

I looooooove this place! I'm so inspired to do similar styles to mine when we move next year. Cannot wait 😍

2300...I know it's la but, I just can't get my brain to say that is a good price for any apartment anywhere ever. But I'm glad she got to live in the place she dreamed of living. She looks really happy and that is reflected in her space.

[@vesnastihovic7014]

She's so charismatic..

[@traildarling2777]

Such an inspiring space!

[@lorigrace5549]

love it! one of my favorites.

[@ChandraNYC]

Looks cute. But, it's concerning that she pointed out the dog's area on the balcony for "when he's left home alone." Broadcasting that a single woman leaves her doors open when her home is unattended is not wise!! (Yes, I'm assuming that she doesn't leave the dog locked out on the balcony... which would also be horrible) .

[@linaanaya9612]

Where did you get your bench that holds all of your workout shoes? Love, love it.

[@missVmilne]

One of the best ever in this series : - )

[@maybetomorrow-littlesthobo531]

The ceiling hole misses: Dab some DAP, or any kind of mud/putty product it doesn't really matter what kind. Use your finger and sort of poke it, you want it to tail, for lack of vocabulary words, basically don't make it flush make messy that's why you use your finger. Poke and pull off. Now let it dry. Touch up the paint with flat not egg, not satin not gloss, flat, or ceiling paint and just touch up the little spots. It won't be perfect but it will take attention away from it.

[@Notagain44]

I love her apartment and Cash is too spoiled!

[@pameladenise1452]

Very Sweet Digs ! Love it !

[@JewelsView]

I want her to decorate my place because hers looks so good

[@threadjunkie]

I just bought my condo in north hills for 298K, the NACA program waived the down payment and closing cost. The mortgage is under $1600 including the HOA fees. Stop throwing your money away in rent and buy a condo while you can as LA is becoming so expensive.

[@atlanta9286]

Whats a Condo?

[@lululemonbar9110]

Congratulations! Good move! 👍 I lived in the valley too and was tired of the expensive rent and left CA altogether but if I ever came back only to buy not rent.

[@monie2514]

So 26,200 is for a year and 2 years is $56,400 not too bad if you were just going to rent for no more than 2 years but I'd be looking into buying my own condo and put money away where you can get even more. But overall it's a beautiful open space with a beautiful puppy 🥂🎊💰🥰🥰🤗
