[@summerrain7466]

"Who knew furniture arriving would make me so happy?" 😂😂 All of us, Hermione. Everybody. Every single body knew it would make you happy! And when you're happy, we're happy! 😊

[@HermioneChantal]

Hahahaha you all know me too well 🤣💖 but that made my day!

[@jimmytwizzle7836]

You sad lot. Get a life

[@emilyduncan953]

Have you considered hanging a curtain across the whole back wall in your loft? It would hide the closet, but still be accessible, and just look even and decorative.

[@HermioneChantal]

Funnily enough I mention something like that in my next video 🤣 I'll post that one later this week!

[@lauriedavis9650]

YES!!! THIS!

[@brianamorrissey8858]

Yes! Like a second faux headboard. Came here to see if anyone else had the same great thought!

[@laurak0797]

Was thinking about suggesting the same! Would look so much 'cleaner' and more calming too :) It's probably quite easy to do so too, with those adjustable curtain rods one can get for showers etc!

[@marisasilva5556]

Yeah something with a light colour or something would look nice and make the room feel more cosy too 😊

[@92ilovepink]

I would turn the bed the other direction! And have the headboard facing that railing. That way the foot of the bed is at the closet and it’s more access. I think having the headboard the other way would open the space more too. I’m excited to see what else you do with the space!

[@ajh0198]

Ooh that’s interesting! If there’s room for the side table on the far side of the bed opposite the stairs side it could make getting into bed so easy

[@deeoh3708]

I wondered if this might be better too, as could then put something behind the headboard and railing to close off the area a bit as well.

[@jemma50]

No offense, but I totally disagree. Sleeping with your head near the railing and the stairs would feel very unsafe and vulnerable. I think Hermione has it in the best spot possible. ♥

[@danielleshanti]

I thought of this too. Darker and cozier for sleeping. Adding a color fabric behind the headboard would separate it from the railing (could use cardboard from all the boxes and cut to size). And the bed wouldn't cover the closet as much.

[@VermontFan1]

All nice ideas (turning the bed around) but….. if you subscribe to the feng shui (furniture placement) having your bed facing a wall is not good. 😢 There’s much more to consider and I think Hermione is aware of those things.

[@julieparker5043]

I would put a slim console table right behind your sofa. This will give you extra storage and also a ‘shelf’ to add another lamp and decoration etc ❤️

[@sallysmith4492]

Suggest that you put your desk behind your couch where you can place a lamp and your drinks. This way you won't need a coffee table and it frees up space for other things. Good job...it's looking so much more like home!

[@deidraburgess4866]

For that cubby area in the loft you could style it like a window with the shades down and then put a light in there to make it look like a window with light coming from the other side. I hope that made sense 😅 lol

[@lindakirk698]

Put the desk behind the sofa you could work at desk & project something to view onto wall. Put the head of the bed against the rail at the top of the stairs so you are looking away from the window. The headboard will be like a room divider to downstairs. Take your sox off when going up & down stairs or get some grippy water shoes as they are rubber bottomed & you won't slip! Fluff comes from all of your clothes/sofas etc etc - its part of life. You don't see it on carpets quite the same. Laminate floors are SO cold & SO dangerous!

[@BettyBarnyard]

If you put a curtain and tension rod in the doorway of the storage space in the loft it will camouflage that your bed is in front of a doorway and feel cozy!

[@mamelvik]

Regarding the fluff on the floors, maybe it has to do with having all new textiles in the apartment? Surely after some cycles of washing they'll be de-fluffed a bit?

[@HermioneChantal]

That must be it! The fluff seems to be subsiding a little now actually 🤣

[@Junes.dreams.uk_]

Not sure anyone mentioned yet but: 1) your sense of style girl 🤩, I wish I could be as creative !!! 2) that side table and table!!! Chrome ? I never knew I needed Chrome in my life again?!!! 3) try turning the bed 380 (feet where head kinda turn), it will feel more like a room and you might access the cubbyhole better and might help decorating, downside is you might have to move the bedside table away from your head (silly I know).

[@Sally-nse2]

Here’s an idea for the bedroom loft - Swap the headboard over with the footboard (place a rug or piece of material over the railing upstairs so that you are closed off for sleeping and facing the hole in the loft wall, get a plain white or patterned curtain (pink no doubt) - to cover it over and make it more accessible from the foot of the bed, or a low paper screen and use it for a small chest of drawers or make a low hanging rail for trousers and shirts etc. Oh and buy a nice quiet fan 🤷‍♀️. The biggest eyesore in that apartment is the wardrobe, if you are going to use it as a room divider, you could get a paper or rattan screen to make it more like a piece of furniture with a door maybe? All in all, it’s looking more like a home now whatever else you do, it’s now good for sleeping, entertaining, lounging watching movies, working at the desk, cooking or eating dinner with friends 👍👍💐

[@marisasilva5556]

The apartment is starting to look so nice! Think the bed in the loft is the best decision as it gives you so much extra room on the downstairs area. Love the desk and the table. Cant wait to see more 😊🩷

[@deeannemason7003]

Exactly what I would have done with the bed. Access to the little closet!

[@melisaamaya9411]

I think a long chest of drawers the same size/height as you couch could work really well, instead of a coffe table people could put their drinks there, also the projector could be there, and then you can use the drawers/doors as extra storage

[@Xxmisskea]

I think a tension rod and curtain on the alcove in loft would look good, also maybe bum shuffle down the stairs to avoid clumsy falling 😂😅 love your vlog absolutely loving how you come across now! More laid back! Ive been subed along time and i am really loving this new content!

[@shaistanaseer7589]

Have you considered putting your empty suitcases under the bed and using that nook to hang all your clothes in, this would give you extra space in the lounge to hide piles of your work related stuff. BTW, Nice addition to the furniture ::)

[@janetduffy4729]

Put extension pole in gap space behind bed to hang off season clothes, or shelves for nightwear, sheets etc

[@corinna_maybe]

Hermione: 'I'm so clumsy and the staircase is so sketchy.' Also Hermione: *puts vacuum cleaner in front of glass table right at the foot of the staircase* giiiirl it would appear you like to live dangerously 😅

[@jacquistander2383]

I would put your clothes in the front door cupboards and turn that clothing box onto its side for a sideboard and storage baskets. Also, swing out the couch on a slight diagonal away from the wall a tad?

[@jemma50]

Looking good, Hermione! I'm so glad you moved the bed upstairs. In such a small apartment, not to use the loft for sleeping would kind of be a waste of space. 😊I don't know how you would have fit in your table and desk with your bed downstairs. Your home is coming along and feeling quite cozy now. ♥

[@leigh-annbenn9065]

I got so happy when you moved the bed up. I was secretly hoping you'd do it! YAAAAY!!😂😅🎉

[@voulathomacos-lagonas8445]

FANTASTIC

[@jackandlill]

Love the desk!!!

[@solar979]

When you have carpeted floors all that fluff remains in them and you don't see it.

[@em0szn]

Loving the apartment content 🧡💛

[@geraldineklatt7914]

Glad to see you smiling , looking like home !

[@susandark5733]

Glad you put the bed in the loft. Consider centering it on that opening (since it's storage that isn't accessed frequently) and hanging a curtain maybe macramé or beads in the opening. It will pull you away from the wall and give you more breathing space, away from the corner. Might have room for a matching bedside table...super cute choice there!!

[@cherylbraithwaite8397]

Wow it is starting to look great , good job ❤️👍

[@RoRo-gb7mt]

The way i've been waiting for each upload hehe Im loving this moving series! 😇 Thank you for sharing this journey with us x

[@MaryMarisen]

Can't wait to see the evolution of your space, it's exciting living vicariously through you 😂🤎

[@juliii_g]

I love the size and layout of your loft now 😍😍 it's perfect and cozy 🥰

[@sallyhook102]

Apartment is looking so cute, looking forward to seeing how you style it!

[@safaa9654]

To have the bed on the loft i think people usually dont use the headboard and lower part, only some wooden planks underneath it so that it's not too high

[@lillettepinkerton8557]

Good idea to put the bed upstairs but for safety reason's please consider putting rubber treads on the stairs to stop any slipping. I'm sure they must has a stick on version. Even if you have to tape them on. Better safe than sorry. Love how brave you are. Glad you're making friends and having fun.

[@juliackios]

I would add wallpaper to that little nook, have the bed centered to it and the headboard covering the luggage... and maybe add shelving for books, turning it into a tiny library over your bed

[@kimbwf629]

Looking good so far. 🌸

[@joane5777]

Love the changes and all the furniture additions you're making~ ❤ NOW it's starting to look like a Hermione home!!!!! 😂 Joan

[@vickinoeske1154]

The cherry trees are gorgeous!💕🌸💮🌸

[@KewpieGirl]

I love your new table and the desk. I'm looking forward to seeing the new chair! Cute space!

[@jackiepalmer3504]

Upstairs 'closet' wall could have a curtain across the entire wall up to the ceiling to make it look more finished. Love your aesthetic! ♥

[@jacquim8907]

It's looking wonderful and I looked out of my back door and the cherry blossom reminded me of you so much. You look so happy x

[@MystLily]

And you got a gorgeous new pot for your giant plant, it looks great. Your place is coming along great

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good Tuesday morning Hermione. Excellent vlog as always. You're looking fit and fantastic as always. Great job on decorating the apartment and unpacking all those cardboard boxes. Thanks so much for sharing a look at your daily routine. 👍👍😊😊

[@ladydeetz]

Omg I’ve been watching Natalie for years as well as you the worlds collide! so great to see your place coming along and that you are hanging out with some cool peeps in Korea! Have lots of fun Hermione 🎉

[@d.d.mac.3773]

Things are definitely taking shape wonderfully. You are maximising your limited space in a unique and lovely way. I'm enjoying watching your journey.

[@brendasnow8255]

It’s fun to see the new furniture, and the kitchen looks good! I enjoy living vicariously in SK. I know that if I were younger, I would try that, myself. Have a good time.

[@ajh0198]

Looking lovely! I like the layout. I agree with putting a curtain upstairs to block the cubby.

[@susanvelez6534]

Your so PRECIOUS “ life has lost all meaning”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it looks great

[@subs2witch90]

Love your SK content. It's very calming. Great vibe 👍🏽 Love the bed in the loft! Maybe do the tension Rod thing you did on the gap in the loft to cover it 🙂 or put up a huge lovely poster to cover it 👍🏽 Also I've seen Alexander Gater on KZbin use peel and stick vinyl in really interesting places. Maybe you can use that to spruce up that oddly placed door next to the sofa?

[@claylover9845]

When I was living in Korea, I bought a floor fan to work with the air conditioner. That might make it cooler in the loft. Not crazy about your bed headboard. It seems to stick out like a sore thumb. Might you be able to get a platform style box and put your mattress on top of it? Anyhow, you did a good job overall.

[@claylover9845]

Also, for your safety sake, can you put some anti-slip strips on the stairs?

[@deeoh3708]

Great news you have some furniture at last! I was wondering if the head of your bed could be put at the railing, hopefully giving you some more room at the foot end for the cupboard space thing? I'm sure you will work it all out so you are happy with the configuration in time. Be fun finding out. I like the idea of a curtain across the cupboard space. Well done, everything is coming together 🥰

[@momof2momof2]

It's reallly coming together , and you are making it really yours with the Hermione touch 🥰💐🪷💗✝

[@MDWJS]

Perfect- so happy for you

[@elisebrisson]

I’m definitely team bed in the loft!! Separating my bedroom space from my living room space has been huge for me.

[@robindestasio7563]

So happy you moved your bed into the loft :) I'd paint the trim around that opening behind the bed to match the wall, the curtain is a great idea :) Your place is looking so cute :)

[@AnnaliciaBrazas]

A nice large tapestry (like slightly heavier than a curtain) would be like artwork behind your bed and serve to cover the storage space as well as act as an anchor that you could like place fairy lights around.. that upstairs is small yes but the COSY VIBE potential is strong!

[@andreasharp2135]

It's starting to look like a home now 🎉

[@ericab1302]

17:59 looking so cosy ☺️

[@jackandlill]

Hermione! Your such a doll! I love the way your space is coming together - you have such a different taste than me but I love your style! Good on you for making the change & putting the bed in the loft - there is def something to be said about having your sleep space separate from your living space. I was thinking that perhaps you could get some type of tread for the stairs to keep them from being so slippery? as I notice you wear socks in house & that can make things a bit precarious at times lol! I'm so glad you are putting your stamp on things & making the space your own! Can't wait to continue coming along on your journey living in S Korea - You def have a gypsy soul my friend & I am here for it - living vicariously thru you living here in the states! 💕

[@SilverWolf4216]

So I hadn't been getting notified of your videos. I think it's fixed now but I just binged the entire Korea move vlogs and I'm now caught up! I'm so happy for you Hermione, I love the videos so far, and I'm so excited to see how things unfold in this new adventure!

[@juliagoolia72]

When you have carpets, the fibres grab on to the dust and fluff. Without that, the dust has no where to go. That’s what I find with my hard surface floors too. So maddening

[@ZoeShears]

It's looking so homely now, I can't wait to see it all completed. I'm sure you can get some sort of fan for the loft for when I starts to get hot but being a dark space I'm wondering if it will be the coolest place in the apartment

[@Maria_Crete]

Hermione you're so beautiful and looking really happy in Seoul! btw I have the exactly same couch in same colour and fabric, and it's SO comfy for sleeping that you shouldn't worry too much about the upstairs bedroom, it's better to keep your bed there separated from living area! Once the projector is in place I predict LOTS of couch napping / sleeping! Your videos are amazing, can't wait for the next one! xxx

[@mandywelch3807]

Following with interest!! Your spaces are looking super cute so far 😊

[@bastelkiste2242]

The moment I saw that you move to Seoul I thought : Oh, she could meet Nathalie now... 😊 I watch both if your channels regularly ❤

[@AeonSaint]

Hardwood floors are best cleaned every day. The "fluff" comes from all the fabrics in the room (plus hair etc.).

[@thinkingbout]

Love the desk you picked! And if you're getting sick of it standing in front of the window you could still put it behind your couch kind of like a console table :) I'm excited to see what you're up to with the loft. When you got the place I thought that it could be a good spot for sleeping but I also could totally understand the drawbacks as you showed it more detailed. Maybe finding another bedframe that's lower to the ground could be a good thing, then your matress isn't on the ground and you have more headspace. In that case you'd loose the storage underneath but you could put a shelve in the cubby behind the bed to make better use of the space, and since you've put the bed upstairs you've gained a lot of space downstairs anyway. Whatever you decide to do I'm sure you'll find a solution that works best for you and makes you happy! :)

[@YOHOMEGIRL]

Girl, I had suuuuuuch a lovely time hanging out and meeting you, can't wait for our drag race marathon hehe 💕

[@christine1373]

Wood floors require more maintenance due to dust in the air, skin shedding, and fabric fibers. Carpeting “absorbs” these things so you don’t see it until you vacuum it up. Carpets also need to be cleaned regularly so wood floors are more hygienic and less work and expense in the long run. I would turn the bed around and have the headboard at the railing as long as you have room for the nightstand. If you don’t you put up a shelf. Since your stairs are slippery “wood” make sure to wear grippy socks!

[@jeannawalton8107]

Oh, I'm so glad you had some pieces of furniture arrive! It makes life so much easier. As for that hole in the wall upstairs, is there any way you can add temporary shelving into it? That would add so much storage for clothing, sheets, etc. Also, there is a little space under the bottom step..........I would get a basket that perfectly fit that space for storage. Maybe for shoes you aren't wearing, or storing your cold weather accessories, or? Every little bit helps in a studio apartment! Also, having your sofa with the back facing the door is not very welcoming. I know that will change as you get more furniture and things get moved around.........maybe get another one to form an L shape in that corner to offer more seating when money isn't so tight? At any rate, love the desk and table, so glad it's working for you :) Glad your ankle is feeling better!

[@Poppy-]

Can't wait to see what else you'll come up with. Always brilliant ideas. Oh I know too well the ankle twinge 😰. After two years I'm still scared.

[@jennawh]

I cannot tell you how obsessed I have become of your videos! I literally just found your channel yesterday by accident and I spent the whole evening watching your videos moving to Korea and making this new apartment your home, I have loved so much watching the process from the beginning! I love home decor and organizing and all that and so your videos literally make me so happy and relaxed, thank you! ❤

[@caesar98]

I understand you about the stairs! I broke my ankle when I tripped in a staircase like 4 years ago. After that I've almost had like a phobia of stairs it's better now but I was terrified the first year and avoided them. Give it some time and maybe get som grippy socks to wear at home :)

[@vickinoeske1154]

I'm so glad you moved your bed to the loft, I hope you get use to it. Now you have room downstairs for a combo table/desk to work and eat.

[@thomazoliveira7946]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Amei!!! Ficou melhor. Felicitações do Brasil!

[@justskellie]

Oh so pretty 🎉 it's all coming together so well, I was going to comment that the edges of your stairs would make a lovely home for small potted plants! But maybe not 😅

[@HermioneChantal]

My poor plants would go flying when I stomp down the stairs 🤣 hahaha 💕

[@Liza03V]

Gettng new furniture makea all of us so happy. I believe you should hang 2 curtains behind your headboard wal to wall and in this way you create a faux accent wall and of course easily accessible when needed. I love it so far. Keep going. You are living the best of life right now and try to go out more often and try to mingle with the locals more often and try to speak their language. Create friends and memories girl. 👏👏👏❤❤

[@wxnderlustgaming717]

I love how your apartment is turning out!! Maybe the space behind your bed you can use as storage and put a tapestry in front of it? (Idk if that would look weird thoi lol)

[@virginieletertre8989]

Glad you listened to US. Makes a better use of the Space. If you move the head of the bed where you have the feet now maybe you can use the little Space for storage easily in the loft

[@sheila3936]

Love the table by the windows. I’m a people watcher and get so sad when seeing others style their units with the table crammed in a dark corner and they never hang out by the gorgeous windows. For the loft I’d say a tension rod in the closet for off-season clothing and a tapestry along the wall (wider than just the closet space so it’s not so obvious). I’d also put a kitchen island behind the sofa for extra storage, prep space, bar area or to put your drinks when on the sofa in lieu of a coffee table.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Fun vlog.. your appartment is starting to look very homely🙂. I love water🧊..but not sparkling. But if I have sparkling water, I add frozen raspberries🍓, fresh mint🍃 leaves, lime or lemon 🍋 juice. You can prep it as ice-cubes to just throw in drink. Make a vegetable frittata.. I always use up fresh veggies that way and it is lovely with salad or on bread etc.

[@victoriavlog]

you could get anit-slip carpet pads for the stairs if you're worried about falling!!

[@ajh0198]

Also, your handwriting is so beautiful!

[@HermioneChantal]

You have no idea how happy this comment makes me 🥹

[@SerendipityNJ]

"I'm trying to cut back on Coke Zero, it's not going too well - life has lost all meaning"! That was the best & I totally get it - I had Diet Coke running through my veins, and stopped drinking it over 2 years ago..

[@not-a-ghost2206]

What a terrific layout for the space! So glad you moved the bed up 😌 if you need inspiration to decorate tiny spaces, alexandra gater does a great job at that while keeping it airy. I would add a cabinet on the back of the couch though that way the back doesnt feel as exposed as it is as well as you dont need that big of a tv set up ☺️ i also would add a comfy big chair if you havent already. So exited how you make this space your home with your sparkly personality ✨️ 💖

[@cho7879]

ok but 2 of my favorite creators from 2 different parts of the world are friends? omg!!!!

[@romabella1965]

I think is better, downstairs looks crowded. Awesome. best decision ever.

[@cellvecc]

The good thing about the bed being upstairs in the loft is that you only go up to sleep, and then after waking up and going down, you only go up again at night. This ends up forcing you to stay active and productive during the day. I also prefer my sleeping place to be separate from my working/cooking/eating/watching tv place.

[@fremont111]

i love coke zero too, not trying to cut back, either!

[@cherisparkle]

It is looking great! A pretty curtain upstairs would be good. Maybe even one that goes that whole side of the wall? Maybe a pretty pink?

[@thatnerdygirl.karina]

It’s coming along nicely!! In the loft you can do a lighted curtain to span the width of the room to hide the cubby space & still have some ambiance 😊

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Wow Hermione your apartment is looking so beautiful. There were some suggestions about putting a curtain in front of the closet to hide everything and also turning the bed to have the headboard against the railing and that would make access to that closet space easier and you could still put a curtain up there so it would make that space private to put whatever you wanted, and I also think it might make the space look more open. And also when stepping down those stairs use that handrail and go down slowly. I have bad knees and going up or down stairs is not that easy or fun but I still can with the use of handrails. I also love your glass top table and desk and that purple stool is just so pretty. Thanks so much Hermione for a great video, wishing you a blessed rest of your day, sending love and hugs, bye! 🤣🤗👍🙏💜💜💜

[@crystalkirkland781]

Could you flip the bed where the headboard is against stair railing to make better use of closet?

[@Sally-nse2]

Agree with that totally.

[@veeeeeeee23]

You should get a little linen curtain to cover the storage bit in the loft 😊

[@sammiemarie14]

You could put the head board against the railing!! And you can also put a colorful curtain and rod to cover the cubby hole!! Maybe put twinkle lights up there!

[@jackienewman5934]

Yay! I much prefer your bedroom being upstairs :)

[@amandajohnson4428]

Your home is turning out lovely. Have you thought about putting a tension rod in the nook upstairs for extra hanging space. I know it would be a pain, but you could hang your off season clothes in there. 💗

[@nina.salome4783]

i would keep the bed in the loft but change the bed frame to something without a head board. if you want to sit and read in bed u can still lean against the wall behind you. w/o the head board the little storage area is much more acessible. in the living room area i would definitely put the coach against the wall, so you have the view out the window in front of you. i love your style and i am always excited to see your videos 😘🥰

[@Angelina-hearts]

You should buy one of those multiple outlets so you can plug up a lot of things!💓

[@summerrosemay5721]

What about putting some pretty fairy lights in the cubby hole up stairs behind your bed! Make it cosy & warm! Just an idea ☺️
