I’m getting a lot of comments about the Brazilian flag in my kitchen and it was a gift from my good friend (and former roommate) who is Brazilian! She wanted my new apartment to have a piece of her in it and now whenever I see it I always think of her!💕 🇧🇷

[@renatamachado3356]

I also wondered about the flag of Brazil. I loved this as I am Brazilian and I love my country and flag. ❤ 🇧🇷

[@andersoncrivelini]

Hi!! I’m a new subscriber but have been an admirer from a long time, I have the same taste in vintage dark academia aesthetics. I’m a Brazilian too!! I was wondering if you can send me a link of that picture of the drama/theatre/kind Shakesperian person above your bedside table with butterfly lamp. Where can I get it??

[@southernjulip2403]

30 seconds into your video and I can already tell that your apartment is not copy cat and boring like every other apartment on KZbin. Good character, actually nice.

[@_isabellaathena]

That’s very kind of you, thank you!

[@brizzle3903]

Agreed! This place has a lot charm/personality

[@maryantonishak400]

I love the feel of this apartment. Kind of nostalgic.

[@paulac4071]

Love it reminds me of a Paris flat decor. It's a pretty large studio apartment. Great layout. The music was an awesome choice too. Thanks for sharing

[@carolynek1875]

Love your place.. I love thrifting too. I love those bookcases that separate your space from your kitchen to your living area.. simply Beautiful!

[@micahsnow346]

This is the kind of energy I am trying to create with my apartment ❤️ the only thing I would add is try checking out some flea markets/vintage shops for old picture/painting frames. You can just use command hook Velcro strips to hang them on your wall and center them around your art prints. Makes it look like you got yourself a fancy painting and frame when really you’ve made a deal!

[@_isabellaathena]

I’ve really been wanting to get some frames soon! Maybe once I’m in a more permanent housing situation :)

[@janisroberson238]

Your Place Is So Adorable!!! And your Choice Of MUSIC Was So Enjoyable!! It Took Me Back To A Different Time!!😊👍🏾

[@dianamcfarland1997]

VERY NICE...IT LOOKS SOOO RELAXING! SOOO INVITING! YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THIS STUDIO APARTMENT! THANKS FOR SHARING!

[@desireegelmete369]

You have made this apartment a home …love it

[@sumar207]

So pretty and tailored to you! You will look back on this period of your life and feel so complete. Good thing you have this excellent tour to always refer to.

[@danaekolyva3309]

What a beautifully shot and edited tour of a unique but also relatable studio apartment! So cozy and comforting. Great job!

[@icecreammaker5007]

It's the sweetest thing! I adore the apartment and your decore.

[@emilyme23455]

Love the character of your apartment, so over seeing boring beige spaces! All the little knickknacks and details really make it into a lovely home!

[@sandraweiler5971]

What a warm and cozy atmosphere you have created. I love everything! I will subscribe, absolutely! 🌸

[@pennynickels5216]

A great space, lovely kitchen. I'd start collecting picture frames! Living alone is bliss, pure luxury imo.

[@kaitlinmeadows6273]

Love the music you have chosen-soooo fits the vibe of your space! Old jazz is so thrilling to hear with this content!

[@57waterlily]

I love your apartment, nice and cozy! warm and welcoming!

[@Better_Than_I_Ever_Was]

I loved this apartment tour! Watching this morning from northern British Columbia…. it’s a cold, rainy autumn morning….I’m having a cup of tea with my dog & cat on the couch. ☕️😊💕🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

[@SN-sz7kw]

Ah, so lovely. Memories of back when my living space reflected ME. 💗 Before 2 decades of marriage & kids meant my space reflected everything but me, but I was still to blame if it wasn’t pristine. 😡&😂 I’m counting on old age to completely reverse course. 😁

[@Anyone553]

I really like your apartment. Real simple, nice kitchen…. Real cozy 😊

[@MariaCarabin]

Very pretty and cozy. I am buying antiques off my neighbours, and it really matches well with my first BF's plywood furniture and my IKEA stuff.

[@GinaRose-ek4be]

Lovee the vibes

[@kissoftreachery]

It was so nice to see some of my all time favorite books on your bookshelf. (Especially Giovanni's Room + Brideshead Revisited)

[@radiantchristina]

Beautiful! What a peaceful oasis you have created 😍

[@lindal3966]

Timeless and elegant. I love it.

[@01happykat]

Aw, love it! This place is exactly what I would've loved when I was studying literature! :) I also love so many of the familiar titles on your shelves, but I'm intrigued by those VHS tapes. I finally relinquished mine more than a decade ago when I left them behind with my old VCR.

[@royaldeers]

wow I love your aesthetic!! so much character and so cosy

[@Ann-cx3dd]

Beautiful space filed with sentiment & purpose...... love it. It reminds me of an apartment from the 40s filled with warmth. Really lovely & peaceful. : )

[@susangladstone357]

Love your place - it really takes me back. Thanks for sharing!

[@christinam6516]

I LOVE it! Cozy, simple, clean and decorated with some Isabella love! :)

[@_isabellaathena]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@teshacarter1256]

Absolutely love your space as well as this video. Both are so artfully done. I just moved into a studio apartment and am excited to decorate and make it my own💞

[@_isabellaathena]

This is so kind, thank you so much! Good luck with your space as well!

[@adoRebelstyle]

@@_isabellaathena you're welcome and thank you!!

[@emmasimpson6562]

I love your studio apartment its lovely warm and cozy 👌👌👌👌👌🌷🌷🌷🌸🌸🌸

Love love love! In Australia contemporary bland blah is the norm. Adore this "old soul" style....pure heart & cosy 💛

[@DaisyAnnabelle65]

Your place is lovely! I love the area with the beautiful chairs by your window. ❤️

[@missebel7671]

Tastefully decorated. Luv yr studio apartment ❤

[@tustinnrent8502]

so lovely, one of my favs.

[@agl5132]

Thanks for showing this. I know exactly where this is. I saw another KZbinr show the one bedroom model. I recognized the kitchen and end cap cabinets. I've been in Europe the past five years and have been considering this building upon my return. I was contemplating the studio vs one bedroom. Enjoy your lovely home.

[@maddscientist3170]

Nice studio ...love the kitchen /dining space

[@monikkittajovi]

Oscar Wilde, Donna Tartt, Umberto Eco... all great choices 👍

[@carolcollins3108]

[@_isabellaathena]

[@rhonda6791]

You’re home is perfectly warm, calm and cozy. I couldn’t live without my books and art around me. And long ago decided there can never be enough plants. You did such a beautiful job I’m going to look at your video again. Btw I love your grandmother’s desk and bookcase, along with your choice of books. 🍃🪻🍀 🪻🍃

[@_isabellaathena]

Thank you! My best friend is Brazilian

[@vickyroberson2441]

I love your style! I don’t want my place to look like everyone else; that would be boring! I like to say I am original Flea market Annie. 😄. Thank you for posting!

[@PatKovacs]

Saudações aqui do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil ❤ Não sei escrever em inglês, mas confio que o KZbin vai traduzir para você 😅 Lindo e aconchegante o seu studio. É icônico também. Por aqui só vemos nos filmes. Sua casa pode ser chamada de lar. E a trilha sonora é ótima e prefeita ❤

[@gigisfairytale1596]

Beautiful

[@debrabonavisa1366]

Very nice video! Cute apartment.

Very nice!

[@ranjinigovindan3797]

Awesome 🎉right from your heart

[@jeanvillagio7210]

We love your apartment and how it is so cozy and warm! Just wondering how you attached your pictures to the walls. It’s a great idea and is not too much because you don’t have all the frames. We are getting a studio in NY and this is a perfect solution. Thanks

[@ranjinigovindan3797]

🎉 awesome right from your heart

[@louisesuffolk]

Gorgeous

[@spanishUZI]

cant wait till i live on my own ugghhhhh 💔💔💔

[@10144viewer]

Your apartment is amazing. I see The Goldfinch on your night table -- have you done a video on that book?

[@tiki475]

I just subscribed to you because your videos are amazing!!:)

[@_isabellaathena]

Thanks so much!!

[@ginaferracini9375]

[@_isabellaathena]

Thanks so much!

[@bonniepwtf]

Nicely done

[@user-mj7bg1ob3u]

thank you for sharing

[@CharlotteIssyvoo]

Oh my God, you remind me *so* much of myself at your age! I think that I had quite a bit less money though, having left an abusive home at 17 and supporting myself from that day forward. But still: EM Forster, Virginia Woolf, Christopher Isherwood (the origin of my online last name), and so much more. I came out of the closet at 18 in 1989, in my first year of university, and I read and read and read and read everything I could in gay and lesbian literature, culture, and history. I watched a lot of art house films too. (I'd seen Maurice in high school. If you haven't seen My Beautiful Launderette, you're in for a major treat.) I covered my walls in the free art postcards one often found (they promoted events), and I ripped promo posters off telephone poles too. The result looked similar to your walls. I got my undergraduate degree in English, Communications, and Women's Studies, while working as a journalist for the once monthly, gay newspaper in town (eventually replaced by a for-profit paper that I like working for a lot less), and attending every rally and march for lgbt rights that I could. I eventually became a college English instructor. At 52, the injuries caused my abusers in my childhood have long since led me to be too physically disabled to work, but I write a feminist blog which incorporates my lifelong learning, and focuses in large part on disability rights, and child sex trafficking prevention... and also fashion history and style.
