refreshing my studio apartment with things I already own ($0 budget)

[@cecile5418]

For the boob pads: I sewed with 6 of them a ball for my toddler to play with 😅it worked really well

[@tofugoob]

HAAHAHA

[@lornawood3260]

Ingenious! Talk about up-cycling! 👏👏👏

[@yeeyeeyeeye]

You have no idea how much I needed this video! I have seen so many "refresh my apartment" videos where people would just throw out all their furniture and buy new ones, and it's so refreshing to see one where you just prioritize reusing what you already have! I'm using this video as inspiration.

[@tofugoob]

WHERES ALL MY INTERIOR DESIGN DORKS AT? lol like did anyone else watch HGTV as a kid or was that just me? Hope u like the vid hehe I appreciate you watching!

[@summerapril9176]

i look forward to ur vidoes every time!!!! love it thanks so much :>

[@tofugoob]

THANK U!! ur so welcome :)@@summerapril9176

[@lovelyhades]

I’m an art major who LOVES interior design (and redecorating my room frequently). I just wanted to say that I love your videos and I always look forward to watching them :) 🩵

[@universeoflala]

🙋🏻‍♀️I would watch HGTV everyday. I used to redecorate my room every time I watched it and would show my mom what I did 😂 love your videos Gabi keep it up :)

[@kennedywilson1991]

I’ve also been watching a lot of Paige Wassel! And yeah I’d watch HGTV with my mom as a kid 😂

[@kathleenkaleookalanismith8724]

I love how the plants make your eye move up and it makes the space look less cluttered. I love it!!!

[@marylou0204]

I did not feel well today, so I watched a bunch of your videos to abstract myself from my bad mood. I recently found you on YT. One of my goals this year is to tell good things when I feel them. So I just wanted to tell you, that you and your videos helped me so much the last hour!! Thank you for your content and your real, funny and warm way to do and tell things❤

[@tofugoob]

AW I'm so glad i could help. Appreciate you sharing the love

[@queencazza4979]

Really love your makeover videos - shows you don't need a massive budget, tools and new stuff to refresh a space and make it work and feel better - I also love how you test out new ideas, and aren't afraid to change your mind afterwards! 💖

[@agusamfa]

I tried using the boob pads inside of heel boots that used to make my feet hurt, and it's so comfy !! now I can use my boots all day and all night and it barely hurts :))

[@meelamiela]

This is an awesome tip!

[@trash4097]

cool solution! what did you to make them stay? do you sew them in?

[@agusamfa]

@@trash4097 honestly i just put them there, the foot keeps them in place. I don’t glue them or anything because i like changing them after some time :)

[@swearbearco]

Awhile back when I was cleaning out my dresser I looked up ways to reuse old bra pads, and there were a lot of people that use them for moving furniture, or packing dishes for moving. There's also a lot of uses in the cosplay community.

[@tofugoob]

OOOOhhhhh that's smart for packing!!! never would have thought of that!

[@asaburnley1699]

My current favorite KZbinr rn!! I love watching ur videos while cleaning, it’s really one of the only things atm that helps me to keep up with everything.

[@tofugoob]

:,)))) tysm

[@katiemateyy]

I’ve just left videos playing while organising and I turn to look at the screen and see “The good idea finger wag “. I subbed just for that

[@anavidreader277]

Dude you’re an energy efficiency engineer as your day job that’s seriously so cool! My love of stem 🤝 art hehe

[@ChantelleArts]

your plant collection *transforms* the space!! 😍😍

[@tofugoob]

thank youu!!! I feel like moving the plants really changed things up :)

[@TimothyJohnLukeSmithPSA]

Hi Gabi, it is great to see your creativity in the design of your workspace and the color palette that you chose. Inspiration can manifest in many forms. Thank you for sharing your inspiration.

[@tofugoob]

aw thank you I appreciate it!! :) I agree about inspiration :)

[@kathleenkaleookalanismith8724]

Just moving the plants up higher already made your space look larger 😍

[@caia-moon]

Your Matisse painting is such a good study I was shocked when you said you painted it yourself it’s spot on 👏🏻👏🏻

[@diamondcentury21]

oh a kindred spirit! my favourite past time is to decorate my bedroom reusing stuff we already have at home 🥰

[@lornawood3260]

Tissue box cover: make and paint one from air-dry clay. Paint to suit! 😮

[@MichelleMonstera]

Your apartment already looked amazing, now it just looks even better! ♥️

[@kathleenkaleookalanismith8724]

I loveee design! I love things that are minimalistic, cozy and ethereal. I am an artist as well and I paint all kinds of things but for my space I paint more abstract pieces that feel more ethereal

[@lifeinmultiplicity]

Your space just looks so cozy and cute I love it! The colors make it really stand out, like I love the yellow couch, and then the green drapes! You’ve got a good eye for colors haha

[@michaelmccoy-z7g]

you have such a great sense of design - and you really inspired me to re-arrange my own apartment - I love what you did particularly with the desk area - I'm not really a peg-board sort of person, but maybe I'll try a cork board - but I think the most important thing I learned is that just thinking about it isn't going to change anything - get to it! - I just wish I had your energy - but some very good ideas - thanks! and btw those lights look awesome -

[@angiespov]

BESTIES Y'ALL BETTER WAKE UP CUZ QUEEN GABI DROPPED ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEOO!! Fr, I love watching your videos and I'm inspired by what you do and create💖 I'm also happy to find an artist who is also a dancer hehe :3

[@tofugoob]

awwww thank youuuu!!!!! YAY fellow dancer artists unite hehe

[@darklittlepeople]

you could paint a band of colour in your colour scheme around your paper bag tissue cover (or maybe even in gold), so that it shows a bit better that it is an intentional choice.

[@jenwebbcreates]

I just recently threw away all my boob pads except for one set that was the best quality of the bunch 😅 I have actually used them occasionally to replace inferior boob pads in bikini tops lol I've also been in an interior design mood lately! but also a declutter mood so I'm loving the idea of redecorating without buying more stuff

[@TheMadHatter140]

I LOVE the lighting on the eyelash mirror! Such a good design choice. Your space is everything I want haha

[@sarahvoh55]

I have the Ponyo artbook. The art is so beautiful. I like your apartment makeover.

[@brumbss]

Love the new diy table in the bedroom!

[@dokidokibear_]

Add another!! Is what my mind screamed 😂😂 but it’s your place and it looks fantastic! ❤😂

[@sophieisastar]

Love to see you feeling good in your space! Would love to see more of your sketchbook sometime soon! P.S. thanks for telling me I rock- always a good reminder :)

[@tripppytea]

ok i'm new to the channel and you are so fucking cool and funny. also triple threat engineer/artist/dancer ??? go off. can't wait to binge all your vids :) thanks for existing!!

[@tofugoob]

:,,,))) ur so sweet thank you!!!

[@kathleenkaleookalanismith8724]

I would get a larger canvas for your fire place to make it even more of a focal point and I can’t wait to see what you create!!🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 Loved this so much!!

[@paulagarciaroith2583]

Hi! Have you thought about switching the bed and the sofa? I think it would be so much nicer waking up in front of this beautiful chimney you have 🥰 And when you have friends over you can confortably hang between kitchen and bathroom 🤗

[@JaneVanDerKarr]

Your apartment is so cute 😍

[@asaburnley1699]

Hey! I have a question, idk if you’d ever do a Q&A or something, but I’d love to know: Where do you get your positivity from? I notice you have a positive outlook on a lot of things, and I’d love to hear about how that came to be, who influenced you to be that way, etc. It’s so infectious, and I’ve found myself being much more playful as I’ve come to really enjoy the videos and art that you make!

[@OpalInspired]

Its definitely that time of year , just did a makeover too, makes a world of difference.❤

[@heatherburrill]

You could paint you tissue box and then keep refilling it. I really like this video - probably that is exactly how I redecorate and refresh spaces too. Harder to relate to people who keep buying new things to change space

[@gabyarrais]

I love all your videos, Gabi!

[@tofugoob]

thank you fellow Gaby!!!!!

[@michaelolila5024]

Paige Wassel, the interior stylist KZbin queen 💅🏼🙌🏽

[@tahteescreations]

I feel like my plants make me feel like I'm living a Studio Ghibli life lol. I've been rearranging and getting rid of things ever since the new year started and its so refreshing!

[@dyanatvalin]

I loved! Keep doing interior design content

[@tofugoob]

hehehe I think I will it's so fun to watch and to make!!

[@b00jen81]

Randomly saw this video in my recs, of course had to check it out...but I didn't think I'd see the same Liss the Lass merch that I have in it~ !!! That made me so stupid happy 😆But then watching your redo was so much fun, and I love your vibes, so of course I had to sub! And no joke, I've legit been trying to make time to figure out how to be a better Plant Mom - and you also show up with the grow light sponsor code?? Def will be using that too! Can't wait to check out all of your channel :)

[@tofugoob]

A fellow liss follower!!! Ahhh thank u sm :,)))

[@anavidreader277]

What do you use for the gallery wall? I was worried blue tack might bleed through and damage them :)

[@annikalund2329]

“ I have a bag with bags…”, I laughed when you said and showed this. Because I do the same: keeping bags and boxes. Why? I never use them….

[@sailorallie9046]

THE BOOB PAD PROBLEM I’m dying 😂 💀

[@anmus8031]

Love it !

[@sleepycrossing]

solution for boob pads: throw them away. 😂

[@tofugoob]

HAHA

[@larabroekhuijsen6010]

where is your calender from?

[@cathrinezaccaginini2626]

You are like me back in in the day

[@vanessaadams1452]

Soltech is expensive. 😮 I’m still waiting for the decorations.😂😂😂❤

[@Justme_247]

Wear the scarf and sunglasses combo.❤

[@estherhurst9269]

I realized I was transmasc and replaced my bras with bimders- no more boob pads. I, too, could not escape them when Using Bras. I wish you the best of luck in banishing them to the shadow realm

[@Beaut_Beau]

What are the boob pads for? Are they a visual thing or a security thing?

[@ruthharper6277]

Your mantle was a plantle!

[@tofugoob]

hahaha I love that name for it

[@Xerxes_Nex]

I just threw away all my boob pads when I started transitioning from FTM so idk what the solution would be but that was mine

[@daniaawni5180]

so hear me out, i think the bedroom is already looking cozy and lovely but it would look nicer if the curtains were a different material (something more sheer and crumbly if that makes any sense) + if the curtains covered the entire wall!

[@NajwaPm]

I love watching your video

[@tofugoob]

thank youuu!!!

[@bbyblue2001]

Hi! do you think you can make a video about your job as an Energy Efficiantcy Engineer? i.e your education or what got you interested in the field ? :^)

[@tofugoob]

yes I definitely can talk about this in the future!

[@wlammy4ever]

Oh I literally went out to buy more boob pads because I sew them into sooo many dresses and tops lol

[@user04783]

should you be putting stuff on your radiator? is that a radiator? lol

[@TigerG16]

You can definitely wear that scarf out!

[@Beaut_Beau]

Your humidifier venting moisture all over your computer is giving me anxiety lol

[@pbcstr3247]

e eu achando que a moda dos peg boards fosse funcional além de lindos 😐😯

[@wandguardnoodle]

the boob pads could work as stuffing for like a pillow or a toy or sth xD

[@carolynv8979]

Anyone else feeling anxiety about the tissue holder next to the lit candle? 😬

[@jaimeemaher2135]

The best use for boob pads i've seen is using them as sliders in workouts!

[@tofugoob]

ACTUALLY SO SMART

[@graycl0ud]

i gave my boyfriend a pair of boob pads to wear in the back of his doc martens :3

[@ChloeRaeofSunshine]

You remind me a bit of Kelly Stamps

[@VioletEvans-yt2fd]

The first thing you should do is get rid of the plants one big plant in a large pot is all a home needs. Those stringy sparse ivy hanging plants do not do anything for your apartment and you have some nice things.

[@kathleenkaleookalanismith8724]

Have you thought about just getting rid of all these pieces of furniture around your bed and putting shelves up on the wall to house your things? I would do cream colored shelves so it would blend in with the walls and if you got cream colored curtains you would feel like you were sleeping in the clouds and the space would feel so much bigger. 🫶🏽

[@iracheLLy]

currently obsessed with that glimpse of your fireplace with the candles and fur lining; my (not functional) fireplace is currently bare and i have no clue what to do with it! trying to creep other videos to see how you’ve decorated it 🙈
