setting up + settling into our nyc apartment | UWS apartment update

[@DanielleDoherty]

what I love about your channel is that you can bring those cozy vibes everywhere you go, whether it's montana or new york! you're both so authentic and just radiate warmth.

[@chelsiecoles4783]

i wonder if you swapped the radiator cousin shelf with the bar cart how that would work? it looks like it might fit nicely in that spot.

[@saraamador]

I totally agree! That's the place for your beautiful barcart.

[@chelsiecoles4783]

@@saraamador right! i think both items could work better if they swapped places with the other.

[@brianalucinda4102]

Have you thought about using your current table for your work space in the office instead of a desk?

[@kayley]

ugh I want to organise your apartment for you. the just-moved-in-mess stage is my fave to tackle, especially for other people LOL.

[@olbird7647]

You are an actual angel from heaven!!😇😇

[@dreamycalm]

You can take these kinds of tasks on the app task rabbit lol messyness makes me itchy 🙃

[@milsum1443]

saaaaaame

[@rebakay7728]

Can’t wait for the bedroom diy!! Don’t beat yourself up. Moving is really hard. You’ve made a lot of progress in a short time!

[@nikkiep23]

Hello ladies! I'm always happy to see a new vlog from you guys. The living room is my fave so far. Its cozy with a vintage vibe. I love those dining room chairs.

[@beam2836]

Yes girls get that sponsorship! It is so fun and heart warming to follow along your journey. I can't wait to see the apartment come together!

[@oliviaallan7460]

I am dying to know how you got a plant over to new york in a plane!! love the vlog ladies

[@cindyjohnson9811]

You girls stay safe.. Enjoy watching

[@TheJennalynne33]

I found you about a week ago and have been down the rabbit hole! Love your channel!

[@peachemoji]

How much did you ultimately end up paying for this place? It looks amazing!

[@rrt401]

Can’t wait to see finished product! Maybe replace the bar cart with the 6 block ikea shelves with baskets -would provide nice storage to keep things out of eyesight

[@sylvias4899]

Moving and unpacking is never fun but take your time. So great to see your new place taking shape. Looking forward to seeing more of you gals adventures in NYC. Be safe.✌

[@essargee14]

every time I watch a video of yours I feel like it goes by too quickly, I already can't wait for the next upload! I hope settling in goes as stress-free as possible for you both!

[@lexusgarces9448]

Can’t wait to see how it changes as you continue settling in! I remember really loving Alines old bedroom!

[@rosiecarlson7962]

Glad to see you’re settling in. I thought I’d make a few suggestions, do with it as you will 😀. The odd console table in the living room could go in the kitchen and bar cart in the living room. Take pictures of your dresser first Aline and then make it an option to disassemble it on your FB Marketplace post. Why put all that work in if someone wants to buy it as is? I’m looking forward to your DIY project. Take care!

[@cjwallace4559]

Such happy spirits....pray many blessings...!!!

[@kathleenbryan9772]

Congratulations ladies, I’m excited to see both of you thrive in NYC. Enjoy your vlogs, thank you for sharing your experiences😁.

[@dkdc451]

Thank you for posting. Just some thoughts 1st bedroom: consider frosted film for windows. Add hook and hang the guitar Storage room: you could use the white shelf temporarily in bedroom when you get rid of dresser in 1st bedroom Plants- Consider pulling the dying leaves.

[@cassidy6984]

Your kitchen has SO much potential, I am so excited to see what you do!

[@rosamckenna736]

Maximize the space with the bar cart in the kitchen with a tall piece. Move the bar cart to the living room. Get rid of the radiator’s cousin. Get a drop leaf table you can extend when you have company.

[@fleuricaa]

michelle, could you do an updated ditl now that you’re working for yourself?

[@MichelleandAline]

I would love to!! Once we've settled into our place and routines a bit more, I will absolutely film some work weeks in my life :)

[@fleuricaa]

@@MichelleandAline Awesome! Can't wait!

[@phillipsroxanne]

I absolutely love watching the process of you ladies setting up your apartment. Maybe some floating shelves could be used in the bathroom and living space for extra storage and decor space.

[@MichelleandAline]

awww thank you so so much!! YES. floating shelves are definitely on the horizon for this apartment! 💖

[@Cassssssssidy]

Hello, you both are incredible and I am slightly obsessed lol. Started at the NYC moving vlog and will be binging all your videos for the foreseeable future. Thank you for the content you beautiful humans! 💕😊

[@thefoodwench4848]

Love it all! I’d definitely flip the bed and large dresser too.

[@megancasselman6564]

I'm SO happy you guys are back in NYC! I adore you two. Your channel is by far my favorite, and I love living vicariously through your NYC videos! Love, a Midwest suburban girl

[@karagira0410]

SO excited for you guys!!!! Loving these long cozy vlogs!!

[@marycorreia4359]

So happy for y'all! You may want to ask your super if he can help you make the door on the fridge and freezer open the other way if that would be more convenient for you. From the video, it looks like that might make your life a little easier. Most fridges have that capability. If you don't need or want that nevermind!

[@appxxo]

Its so nice to see you both ✨ I love the apartment and I'm sure you will get it exactly how you want it eventually these things take time. I would love to see a day in the life, walks, food, work etc xx

[@leeshc5952]

Newly subscribed! Excited to see your new journey and how everything comes together!

[@mahloeree]

Completely and absolutely obsessed with your vlogs ladies. Stoked for your new chapter

[@olbird7647]

You can save oodles of precious closet space by investing in s-shaped hangers (hang 5 pairs of pants in same vertical space as 1) and hanger extension hooks that allow you to hang several top hangers vertically from one hanger . Can also get them for multiple skirts etc. Hard to explain but they really are gamechangers where closet space is limited👍 I tried to send an amazon link to illustrate but I don't think the bot thingies liked it 🤷‍♀️😊

[@ShutUpCrystal]

Happy you two are back in NYC! Have you considered putting a two person table in the nook where you currently have the bar cart in the kitchen? That would free up a lot of space in the living room! You could put the chair back in there even. And ~liquor~ could have a space amongst your nuts in jars in the cutie pantry. Just an idea!

[@joy5934]

Hi happy you guys are back in nyc! I think you should put your sofa on your bookshelf wall and the tv across where you have the “cousin shelf “ and your table put it where the sofa was, you will have more room that way and put your book shelf where you had tv stand that way you have more room .

[@OliviaValerie]

You both look SO happy and refreshed in the intro. Glowing! Love it.

[@clemontinediva]

I loved seeing where you guys landed with the last apartment, so it'll be fun to see how this new space evolves!

[@ShennethDoveMorse]

Decorating/finding the right furniture can definitely be overwhelming in NYC apartments but I know you ladies will make it look really nice. Good luck!

[@themodereport]

Yayyyy love this! I can see the vision already gals. It’s looking great. Also, i related so much to Aline “oh my god we have no chocolate, what are we going to do” this is a truly soul shattering feeling. lol.

[@aadventures2604]

Great video!! Perfect balance of city life and a tour! Can’t wait to see how the apartment evolves!

[@LondynBrielle]

I LOVE hello fresh I have been with them for 3 years 6 meals a week!I have ALOT of recipe cards lol anything bulgogi is my fav from them, however I do cook the meat balls 3-4 min shorter than they suggest. But try the bulgogi tacos and bowls!

[@user00616]

I’ve been subscribed since ur first move to NY (Michelle) and I just want to say I love y’all. Y’all are radiating beauty, inside and out. Cant wait to see what y’all do w the space. I hope u film more of the nitty gritty 🤪

[@lochoa76]

I just moved to a smaller apartment in London almost a month ago, and I’m still living in boxes with no curtains( I have towels as makeshift curtains) because I still have to work. I look forward to getting some decor ideas from you

[@Nic_Nash]

The place is seriously so cute. ☺️ I can’t wait to see how the bedrooms and the office turn out. So exciting!!!

[@MrVikingsandra]

It's all coming together bit by bit. I love to see the progress! It's a lot of work but think about how cool the apartment is gonna look😃 How are you guys able to sleep without any curtains/ blinds?

[@ashleygibb2460]

Loving the vlogs, I was wondering if you guys could do some fashion videos. I love how relatable you guys are. Have a lovely day - sending love from England 💜

[@hannahcoburn4951]

It's the TWO FORKS for me!! haha love you guys and miss you.

[@haleyevans4910]

Flip the swing of the fridge! Very easy to do yourself all fridges are designed to swing both directions.

[@sagarirao1479]

Both y’all’s hair looks AMAZING!!

[@stephroses95]

LOL the chocolate part was 10000% me.

[@olbird7647]

The look of actual panic was priceless! 😂

[@nikorae5286]

Try hooks to hang up your guitar in the nook clearing the floor space

[@marykatherine3582]

Maybe put the cube guy where the bar cart is in the kitchen and put the bar cart in the living room and the plant stand/ side table in the bathroom?

[@danielleflemm3439]

Suggestion. Flip the bar cart so the handle is in the other side. The corner would hold the other side much better. 😄✌🏻

[@brianalucinda4102]

Living for these vlogs!!! ♥️ excited to see your beautiful apartment evolve!

[@kimberlythomas1819]

I'm so glad my favorite NYC gals are getting the attention they deserve

[@margauxdemeester6616]

hello ladies! beautiful flat, I recommend putting the dining table by the window, and the sofa in the darker corner. Eating with light is necessary but watching films with a window isn't. Just a thought!

[@jordanmullaney9263]

Could you put the bar cart where your dining table is, and then build an eating counter tip where that is? Where the stools fit under it so it doesn’t take up much space?

[@emccirculed]

the coffee intro!!! thank you!! I love wooden spoons...where did y'all come across the one for your beans? xo

[@boltoht]

You guys are so lovely -- best wishes on the new place.

[@SnidySenses]

Moved into our house almost two months ago and we are still figuring things out, plenty of time!

[@sunshinegalkw9675]

Your kitchen is wonderful! I would love to cook in there!

[@JackieOstick]

I work at Levain!!!! YAY!!!

[@mariaschlenoff299]

It’s such a cliche thing to say, but you really bring comfort to my life.

[@sundaystillness]

Perfect way to start the weekend

[@SarahEllen511]

Your new apartment is so pretty! 😍

[@Bewen_]

Im thinking about moving to manhattan . Been in Queens for way to long!

[@Gothmother78]

Yesss the video I’ve been waiting for!🖤🖤 can’t wait too see the bedroom makeover!🙂

[@michelejeican830]

Your bar cart is going to be 💣!!

[@korilakkumas]

Yayyyyyy!! So excited for you both. Love you! ❤️❤️

[@clairelikespie]

Ok hear me out - move couch to the wall with the bookshelf, bookshelf to where the tv is now, tv next to the radiator, and a smaller table where the couch is now?

[@HelenGallacher]

This is exactly what I came to say 😂 it’s hard to tell when you can’t really measure but it looks like that would work then at least three chairs would be usable round the table

[@lindagere2468]

I agree with that idea put couch where bookcase is, tv where white table is and put a drop leaf table where the couch is! Also a better stand that can be like more counter and storage where the bar cart is! You two are so cute love your channel!

[@livefullerwithlovefuller8679]

WOO-HOO!!! SUPER excited for this video. I'm so happy for you ladies!!! I'm going to go get my tea and settle in to watch!

[@sunshinegalkw9675]

I found you last night! I’m subscribing! Be well gals!

[@moniqueruiz8753]

Michelle your hair looks bomb ! Loving those lil highlights adds nice warmth. Aline just got lasik and even tho I love seeing without glasses... I low key miss having cute frames (like yours) Hee hee If you need new frames let me know.. I have a bunch of cute round raybans that are rotting away Hahah also I hope your low life plants make a comeback

Aline you crack me up about the chocolate situation 😂

[@madibeumee5572]

What camera do you use to film??

[@livefullerwithlovefuller8679]

OMG... I missed the first video? I'd been looking out for it, but I missed it. I'm going to go back and watch that first 😉

[@shannonmurray828]

ill buy that dresser off of you!! im in harlem

[@kristinmorris5293]

Goodness- y'all are delightful! Are you twins? ♥️

[@missmayflower]

Too bad you kept all that furniture, had it all lugged up those stairs, and now most of the pieces don’t work at all in the space. No wonder you feel stressed. I love that you keep a sunny attitude about it. It is a lovely apartment.

[@Saltysarah32]

I’m attached to the trash bag too 😂😂

[@yofalyssa]

Where is Michelle’s dresser from? I NEED IT

[@MichelleandAline]

it's the ikea hemnes dresser! 🤗

[@jennacraine]

Would you guys ever do a Patreon?

[@copykat3971]

Out of sheer curiosity is your apartment rent controlled? I was watching a previous video of yours and noted that your budget was between 1800-2300 per month, for the upper West side that's well below the average. 🤔🤔 If not do you plan to just pay the difference should pricing go up? Love from the UK 😊

[@MichelleandAline]

we stuck to our budget! that's all we feel comfortable sharing for now 💖
