I'm liking the vlogs lately, I feel like you're very honest about things and don't sugar coat issues or your feelings, but you're also not whining. I appreciate that.

[@MaddyxLu]

Love the loyalty and commitment of the friends in NY 😂😂

[@kristee.vetter]

I know, no clue what I’ll do without them 🥲

[@kaylayoungblood9577]

Organizations bins containers

[@Lee02065]

Okayyyy love the new space so much. Here are some ideas: 1. Pull the rug out so just the edges are under the couch 2. Get cute bar stools for under the counter 3. I’d get rid of the desk, round white table, white seat and get a large round dining table for the alcove and work from there/counter/couch 4. Def keep the metal bar cart in the kitchen, put kitchen aid on it 5. Gallery wall above couch and large print above bed 6. Try getting hinges that go the other way so the door opens into the closet. A task rabbit can help you install them 7. Closed ikea shoe rack in the entry way, maybe change up the knobs to add more color

[@LifeMemoirs]

Totally agree with all the above 🙌

[@ReginaScholey]

I don’t understand how this keeps happening Kristee! The past 3 times you’ve moved, I’ve also moved in the same week/month. I’m about to move again on Thursday to a new state. Your moving vlogs are always the best and I just love that it’s always when I’m moving too somehow 🤣

[@sguerra422]

For storage I personally use the vacuum seal bags and put them in my luggage or on top of the closet (clothes not in season) and change it out. Move the bed and close the closet door and put the bed back in the same place. You’ll be able to open/close it without a problem

[@patnewman9543]

Just use one nightstand & move bed over toward wall

[@gingerpetrone]

IKEA has those thin shoe storage bins that can fit by the front door and double as shoe storage and an entry table

[@jessdac02]

It’s kind of weird that the builder didn’t put a pocket door where the closet and bedroom is so that there is more room in the bedroom for a bed!

[@lizrob92]

Or why didn’t they make it open inward rather than out into the room?

[@tarraschram-blair9111]

Hear me out … free stand your desk in the center of the alcove?? With a great rug…

[@sshmorgss444]

omg yes

[@littletd9]

100000% agree

[@dancemom3727]

Maybe go down to having just one night stand beside your bed and the door would close?? Hard to judge the space you have as a viewer, but just thought I would suggest this to you. The other lamp and night stand could get used elsewhere in the apartment.

[@thegallery219]

I would absolutely take that closet door off the hinges! momma is right lol

[@jennav.4047]

Most people don’t actually have cable today, so they likely figure that if you have a tv in the bedroom it will be for streaming, so the bed likely is meant to go on the wall with the door entry. Then put a dresser with a tv where you currently have the bed.

[@muvachi]

I love seeing ppl move out of NYC and getting more bang for their buck! I love how excited you are! Soooo happy for you girlie

[@plynn136]

D.C. is just as expensive LOL.

[@vicaliarr]

I love the new space. I highly recommend the ikea hemnes shoe cabinet for by the door, it says it holds 8 but we put our shoes into it in a way that we get more pairs in it. we have the short one too so we have a mirror above it for last second checks. we have more shoes than fit in it, but all our daily go to's and more fit in it. then you can style the top too, little key dish, candles, the works ya know

[@vicaliarr]

also i think the bed does go where the cable hook up is, they were probably cutting costs since the living room cable hookup is on the other side of the wall. if i understand the space lol

[@Shakeyourtailfin]

OMFG I’m finding you again after watching you like 6-7 years ago and I feel like I have a piece of my history back! So excited to watch ALL your content since then 😂♥️ you were one of my fav creators back in the day but I lost my original channel and everyone I followed. Literally so crazy and full circle watching you when we’re both adults!

[@FloraGoodman]

you should get those narrow shoe storage cabinets for the entryway! gives you storage plus a space on top for a bowl for keys and such. also if you have room, a freestanding wardrobe with hanging space/shelving would be great!

[@lindasangiovanni29]

Love to see and hear how genuinely happy and excited you are to be in your new place. You are so deserving of this apartment and new chapter in your life. Wishing you only awesome adventures for you going forward. Enjoy getting everything set up. Have a great week. Many blessings Kristee. 😊💗

[@SMile-ce1zd]

Put your air fryer and your toaster in the cabinets!! Put your kitchen aid where you have the air fryer if you arent trying to clutter your kitchen.

[@nycgirly97]

You should try maybe consulting with a decorator! You have so much great space to fill!

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

Kristee, never leave an air fryer plugged into the outlet unless you're actually using it. Air fryers are notorious for catching fire. Love your new apartment!!

[@sandya.3580]

what a fun space!! Here are some ideas from a former hgtv enthusiast: - put your desk on the right side of the alcove, facing the window, that way you don't get glares on your screen and have better lighting/a better background for meetings. I can also see your desk going in the corner between your living room and kitchen, perhaps facing the rest of the living room, that way you're not staring at a wall all day. That can create a cozy little mini "office" feel - on the left side of the alcove, put a rectangular dining table (that seats 4-6) with its short side against the slanted wall - i know you said you don't want a new couch but I think a larger one (specifically L shaped like you mentioned) would elevate the space and make it feel more homey and grown up -someone else mentioned it, but i''d get a narrow shoe cabinet for the entryway - love you kristee but that round table has got to go - it doesn't add anything to the space functionally and imho isn't that aesthetically pleasing. I think replacing it, along with your other white furniture will elevate the vibes - your apartment has so much potential to feel grown up and I think just adding a few pieces and switching out others will make all the difference! excited to see what you do :)

[@missmillerlight]

I remember watching you when you were in highschool! You’re only a year older than me so it’s wild to see where life took us!

[@aleeeexxlove]

Shoe cabinet at the entry way! :) congraaats!

[@zippyshack7634]

I’ve been following for a while, I’m glad to see you doing good! And first comment!

[@madalyn_hair]

Your reactions to your new place are amazing 😭 I’m moving to New Jersey from Manhattan this year and I can’t wait for all the little/normal things you don’t get in the city!

[@Gowithkt]

Love seeing how excited you are! Can’t wait to see all the vlogs to come

[@CrystalMarie989]

Buy a chair that matches you couch and you will be fine. Get you a small dinning table in the corner where all the boxes where or get bar stools. Leave the black shelf where it is an put decor on it. It matches the kitchen and livingroon. Love the shelf in the kitchen in front of the fridge. Put current Tv in your bedroom. Its the perfect size and then get a bigger one from Walmart they are on sale. Love how your place is looking so far and congrats again gurl!!!

[@kag15]

I can't wait for the apartment tour once you are done unpacking and decorating your new place. Congrats!

[@nicolesperdutodelguercio7293]

It's so nice! Float your couch in the middle of the floor and put the table where you were going to put the couch. Maine even a long dining table

[@breanneblaquiere2002]

You just earned a new subscriber, your very entertaining to watch and I’m excited to continue watching the move in videos

[@tina8133]

What a loving and beautiful family. The love really shines through!!

[@ConfessionsdeManon]

The way you were so happy when exploring the apartment for the first time made me sooooo happy 💕💕

[@chatwithjb5746]

You have some amazing friends! Congrats on your new journey. Just found your channel and had to subscribe!!! Hugs from NYC! 💕💕

[@sharimissmanmiller1185]

So excited to watch this!!! Thank you for sharing and congratulations!!!🎉

[@dianebaker5243]

You sound so excited about your new home.love the big living room window.❤

[@cait.]

You have the best moving vlogs!! Love hearing all your thoughts as you figure things out

[@amyquintero9948]

I’m so excited for you!!

[@user-dj3sn5wi1s]

I am so excited to see you decorate, and to buy new things. Your apartment has a different shape ,so it will be fun to be creative!

[@divatesteddivaapproved]

IKEA has the Hemnes, Stahl, or Brusali shoe cabinets. They are slim and could fit in your entry.

[@ladyyuna2000]

I'm so happy for you Kristee and your new apartment it's so cute and you made an excellent decision on the apartment choice. Wishing you the very best of luck. Go forth and conquer! I hope you find lots of happiness in your home.😊👍

[@Loveroflife88]

Congrats girl!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SamanthaKayla]

With doors, you can change how they swing out so I'd look into that and check if it would be okay. Another idea for the desk is a corner one, since it would give you more space.

[@georgiamoore8231]

Congratulations on your new place 🎉

[@bopeep1455]

If you get one or two of those tall metal shelving units (like the one in the kitchen) you can put baskets or those square containers that are the size of a milk crate on the shelves and fill them with overflow shoes or anything. That could be placed where your black shelving unit is now. Where your desk is now that desk height is low enough to go in front of the window. Could go in the kitchen where the metal shelf is now and that shelf could be used as a kitchen island or vanity table with counter stool in your bedroom. One could go in your bedroom on the wall where your round mirror was leaning. They are very sturdy and hold a lot of weight. Your round table would be nice in the corner where you had the blow up bed. Couldn’t tell if you kept the closet door closed is there enough room for you to get in and out if the door only opens as far as the bed. Over the door shoe storage is also an option. Could hang on the back of your bedroom door and closet door. If you get a trunk/coffee table you can store blow up bed, extra bedding and pillow for company. Can add plexiglass on top of trunk. They also make taller storage/trunk type end tables for either side of your couch to put lamps. Counter stools would be nice. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Take your time. Enjoy the process.

[@SMile-ce1zd]

You could also get a sectional. Put it on the small wall with the sectional coming out a it’ll keep your “office” area separate. Then put your tv across from the couch on the wall and your table in the corner by the kitchen. The bump outs in that core we are perfect for chairs. Plus the table show be by the kitchen

[@danab5468]

YES i’ve been waiting!! 🎉

[@martika5863]

It’s beautiful love the apt enjoy it. You’re doing so good.

[@michikoxo]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

[@sherrysimpson4440]

NICE...watching to see what it looks like when finished .....Congratulations

[@lindaltsteele1313]

Fantastic 🎉 What an amazing Journey Your going to Have in D.C. …. Love ❤️ your new home !!!

[@cometcat7327]

I wish you the very best in your new adventure. I enjoy your videos very much

[@emily409673]

I think your kitchen is adorable

[@maryjaneknab4051]

Wouldn’t you like to have the coffee pots under the cabinets where your cups and dishes are?

[@simplyastoria]

Eeeee so excited for you Kristee! Can't wait to see what you do with the space! When moving I find it super helpful when unpacking to just put things in the room I know they need to go in first - and then organize each room one at a time. I find this helps it make it a bit more manageable, and easier to visualize how it could be organized :) For your living room - I know you said you didn't want to replace your couch with an L couch - but what if you just got another of your same couch and kind of placed them in an L shape? It could break up the living room from the office space a bit that way too.

[@MaddyxLu]

Back again to comment how influential you truly are. I watched this last night, was bummed chipotle was closed, and woke up and placed an order before they even opened this afternoon 😂😂. Def slaps tho

[@chillrobinsonstyle6173]

Get acrylic shoe boxes and stack them on the shelves in your closet and get some 3 shelves storage cabinets to put your underwear and bras in...

[@amypennebacker4941]

Wow it feels like you just moved into your cute little NYC studio. Congrats on the beautiful new place!

[@lizrob92]

Love this new space !! Please get rid of the corner chair and small table and get a bigger dining table 😂 now is the time !!! lol

[@SiiliKodu]

In the bedroom, try removing the sise table on the right, pushing the bed against the wall aga then placing the side table on that titled wall... might work? And maybe make it possible to close the door aswell?

[@heyyitssj]

I hope once you’re able to get settled that you do a meet-up! So excited for you being in Dc!

[@moontiggsland]

I'm proud of you ❤

[@taylorbreiter6557]

For storage, make sure to get dual-purpose furniture!!! The TV stand can have drawers, ottoman should have a space for stuff, etc.

[@meredithhusar3505]

You MUST go to East West Coffee & Wine in Clarendon - it has amazing coffee & food, is a perfect remote working spot, and they serve alcohol. It’s my favorite place in Arlington!

[@annbraziel8678]

You are definitely The Queen of Coats! The new space looks wonderful and I can’t wait to see what you do with it. Welcome to Virginia!

[@SarahxNicole]

I think tv other wall mounted & couch facing which makes a little walkway to desk area

[@coco4564ify]

Don’t plug Kitchen appliances like air fry and mixers and such till you use. They clutter counters you don’t want to be decorating around a cord. Just put stuff away in kitchen. Rearrange after you see everything out and run grocery list on notepad. And make sure you have when ordering on line. Believe me that will save money every time

[@maristuginski]

THE MOVING VLOG!!!!

[@itsbittersweetest]

Idea the white low dresser use as the TV stand for now.

[@marysummer08]

Be sure to pull the air fryer a few inches from the wall when you use it so the heat doesn’t burn the tiles

[@Alyssaa948]

Congrats!!!! Love the apartment so much!! Make sure you unplug your air fryer!

[@shannonohair6438]

"and there's a garbage disposal!!!!" I am smiling so big for you right now haha

[@Bamabchgrl]

You can order covers for your refrigerator handles and it will pad them. Its what I did

[@maryjaneknab4051]

It’s always the little things that mean something❤😁

[@MaddyxLu]

When you said “this is the starting point” why in the world did I have impulse to sing “the start of something neeeewwww”

[@SMile-ce1zd]

Get a large dresser for a tv stand so you have extra storage

[@rrt401]

Excellent advice!

[@missGLO.]

You could move the bed over enough to close the door And put shelves on the wall instead of a bedside table. You have enough room in the living room to put the table in there

[@brianaguerrero4901]

I see what you’re saying about the storage, but this place has so much wall space you should definitely invest in a lot of hanging storage or off the floor. Like you could do those over the door shoe storage is behind one of your closet doors. I’m thinking a hanging shelf in your entryway to collect stuff.

[@CBAmakingAusername]

Beautiful huge apartment.

[@emm7528]

So many strange angles. I would move around the bed to se if you could find a better placement. Did you bring the bed frame? Looking forward to seeing the space come together.

[@SMile-ce1zd]

Swap the mirror and the black shelving unit.

[@vondamoore5233]

What about a sheet of plexiglass on the wall by the fridge so the handles don’t damage the wall?

[@teresaleatherwood1565]

I haven’t read all the comments but why don’t you place both of the little night stands together on the side where the door is, of course that means you will be pushing the bed further over towards the windows, but that will increase the area between the bed and the closet door and you should be able to close it. Place a scarf or look for a tray on top of the night stands to hide where they come together. It will just look like a single, wider nightstand. Just a suggestion from a military wife of 26 years who has moved into all kinds of apartments and homes😊

[@jennycarr3123]

Love your new place. I can’t wait to see how you decorate it. Do you think you could move the night stands to the living room as end tables? If possible maybe find smaller nightstand that would work so your able to shut the door.

[@rrt401]

Great idea about the bedside tables😊

[@kaz6655]

Shame you can’t get door re hung the other side or get a barn type door. Eventually you can replace your furniture. I love your sofa. Dark wood would look good and warm the space up

[@itsbittersweetest]

you can have your refrigerator door's reversed so they open in so they won't hit the wall... I would put the bumper pad on the wall too. Congratulations on your apt. can't wait to see it with your decor.

[@SMile-ce1zd]

Try the bed on the other wall. I wish I could just come over😂😂

[@sunshinegalkw9675]

I love it I love I love it

[@ChloeStar97]

You and that round table have been through so much together! It's a love hate relationship!! 🤣

[@missGLO.]

I don't know if this common is too late In the Al cobe if you put a mirror I'll meet wall. It will looked like You have an extra window.

[@JackieOstick]

Your closet is so Carrie Bradshaw!!!!

[@shianneparsons]

Take the door off of the closet and put it under your bed. A cute beaded curtain would fit!

[@SMile-ce1zd]

You could even get a 4 person sized table in that corner

[@ericamosco]

I think the bed situation is perfect. You really don’t need to close that door

[@SMile-ce1zd]

Now that I see your couch, if you like it there you should still put dining in that corner. Maybe I should watch it all first lol you may have figured that out already

[@marissamachinee]

Feels like the inflatable couch era was just yesterday 😩 where has the time gone.

[@mayfleur36]

Do you ever find it to be such a pain in the butt, when it comes to unpacking stuff after a move? On the other hand, it’s so easy to pack things up.

[@SMile-ce1zd]

Try the couch on the smaller wall. Then on the larger wall you can have the tv stand and you table and chairs. Make the alcove your office space

[@elsie7550]

Crazy shaped rooms

[@amyrauch]

DC fomo is so intense

[@shelbyjoneff]

Are you going to get a car now??

[@mariah660]

Change your KZbin bio! Haha
