Transforming a Small Space into a Modern Bohemian Paradise

[@TroutandCoffee]

Happy Sunday you Damn Good Kids! Hope you enjoy this little story. It's a stage of my life I didn't get to share much of until now, and it will help bring the current stories to life! I've got a few more of these that I filmed but never got around to editing, and within a few weeks I plan on catching you up on all the little details. I've still been filming spring non-stop in the background, and I promise the next story in the current timeline is going to be one for the ages. The past few weeks have been gorgeous! Feeling so stoked. Talk soon!

[@SlownomaCounty]

Trout and Coffee I’ve watched this over and over, and sometimes just listened to the audio in my earbuds while I worked in my backyard. It’s currently my fave, listening while you tell your stories and weave various scenes together makes me pause and be present, as well as reflect on the past present and future, and makes me also take a birds eye view of my life. I love this story cuz it encompasses a large time period in your life, which you connect with the thread of your apartments evolution. I’ve been rewatching your vids from that time, and watching with a lens from this vid of what was also going on in your life at the time of those vids... inception lol

[@loganjones6089]

Absolutely love these videos! You should do one that explains your tattoos...

[@noelroquevinluan7499]

Love the transformation and the story behind it..keep up the good content, truly inspiring. Btw where did you get yhe faux brick wall, its amazing. Would love to install it in my home as well..Cheers Trout and Coffee

[@wolfmare50]

I so agree! My daughter puts nothing in her ‘“home”. It’s sad.

[@HeyMishkaTV]

I've found my people. The internet tricked me into thinking minimalism was the only aspiration when it comes to home. But this is 100x more cozy and welcoming. It feels like a human lives here who has a story.

[@filo4854]

Ikr. When I see minimalist places it seems almost as if the place was decorated for them, but the “bohemian” area makes it seem like it has character, and like you decorated, accumulated, and just straight up vibes with everything.

[@xoxDCMxox]

I relate so hard! I’m so ready to transform my room!

[@Megan6772]

I'm so glad the minimalism fad is finally losing wind

[@ametrineambrosia4929]

@@Megan6772 it has hardly any personality

[@Megan6772]

@@ametrineambrosia4929 yes!! As someone who lived abroad for 7 yrs and travelled to over 12 countries, who had to keep my things to a minimum, you start to appreciate having a base where things can stay, and the comfort and functionality that brings. It's all about finding balance. 🕊️

[@thecynthiadouglas]

As a minimalist, I was still able to appreciate how warm and cozy he made his space. Do we need cozy right now? Absolutely.

[@TroutandCoffee]

So cool to hear! I really appreciate that Cynthia!

[@afrikan_criola1923]

@ you can be minimalist and have a cozy house with colour.

[@emilye709]

@ Being a minimalist doesn't mean living in an empty room lol. It can be very cozy just without all of the extra.

[@lutkn]

OMG finnaly something that isn't minimalist and with empty white walls! It's very cozy and colorful! Great transformation!!!

[@mallorybautsch5266]

your storytelling voice is outstanding and mesmerizing! the atmosphere you create within your home definition exudes through the screen. you give me so much inspiration and motivation to get my own life going and create happiness in any way that i can.

[@kerrybee1327]

I'm of an age where your voice reminds me of the voiceover for the Wonder Years. Great apartment. Waaaaaaaay too much stuff for me but it's your vibe, your home and authentic. Cant ask for more than that.

[@leslielopez3296]

yeah i was thinking about to the wonder years✋✋

[@helenetanner7911]

Yesss

[@marciabradley7660]

That much stuff makes me feel anxious, but your video is refreshing. I watched to the end. I rarely have the patience.

[@46smokyjoe]

As an interior designer, the space looks great and from watching your vids for the past year... it’s very you. Not a lot of ppl do that where they make their space their own, they usually want a show piece thats completely detached from their personality, and you accomplished that. Great job!

[@harshshah7250]

Waiting for this channel to cross 1 million subs. This is indeed my weekly dose of the internet. Your videos help me get rid of all the negativity accumulated in my brain from toxic news and social media!

[@TroutandCoffee]

Ha! that would be surreal. I'm definitely enjoying being small for now. It's our own little corner of the internet over here. So happy to hear that though! That's so cool. I'm grateful I can bring you peace!!

[@ivi122]

harsh shah how in the world this channel doesn’t have at least 1/2 million subscribers!? This guy is a genius and his videos are incredible, so cozy and calming.

[@homy4046]

so true! Thanks man for this beautiful content🥰

[@phamtrinhyenchi590]

I've never felt the need to get a big place living alone. It terrifies me. I love the cozy feel and also a sense of control over my space. Whenever I'm at my parents' place and left alone in a big house because everyone is on a trip or something, I feel a lot more lonely and weird. This place seems perfect to me.

[@mitchelpaulus4078]

This is what I imagine every place in Portland looking like

[@kashmir1799]

the vibe i get from this video is so amazing. similar to when i watch movies from the 90s

[@EthanAbitz]

You're a workhorse dude, and such an inspiration. Love the look of the apartment, such a sweet vibe. Hope you've been enjoying this epic Spring so far!

[@charles-olivierrichard5860]

I think i will be speaking for many of us watching your content on a regular basis and i've got to say, Thank you, during these hard times you make me want to dream and live again. You really do make a difference. Thank you Kyle. Chuck

[@TheComputerCowboy]

The “Wash Balls Here” sign had me LOL’ing pretty good! Haha

[@christineh5856]

The sound of your voice and the calm manner in which you speak invoke wonder in such simplicity.

[@TroutandCoffee]

Songs in the order they appeared: Make the first move- Eric Williams All the pretty memories- Leimoti Kohobodi Boy- Daniel Kadawatha Loving this moment- Gamma Skies Make the first move- Eric Williams

[@rachelmahurin5480]

I watch a lot of home interior videos….. like A LOT of them but I keep coming back to yours. The way you tell the story of how your home became a home. The videography style, editing, composition. I just love it! I could close my eyes and picture it as your describing it. So good

[@andreea003]

This is one of my favorite channels. Such a feel good vibe to every video. It's a breath of fresh air and creativity in the negtive space that youtube can be sometimes. Thank you ! :)

[@racermigs1]

Man, you are living the dream.

[@joleneroberts1182]

You said it all in that one staying of " When your space makes you happy you're content no matter where you are". I've always lived with others in their homes or had to rent and had limitations on what I was allowed to do. So now the time has come for a place to do for myself and you have truly inspired me to take that path. I was shared your site just recently on the cabin vacation 😍 !!! A place of my dreams. Beautiful design, location and being there with the river basically right out the door couldn't be more of a relaxing and meditating spot. Thanks for sharing. You seem to have brought that feel some into your home as well. Love it. You're organized and that is a blessing in itself. God bless you so you can continue this great path your traveling. I have subscribed and will be watching your videos. Thank you and will be checking out the merch as well . Keep your inspiration coming for I truly believe you share wisdom and knowledge of God's beautiful canvas through your videos and adventures . I can experience places through your videos that I will never personally get to step foot on. You have a great talent in many ways. Thank you 😊❤️ again.

[@ProserpinePomegranate]

Stunning and cosy apartment,I love it. All those plants are a fantastic feature,I just love how you've arranged them.

[@TheRealJackArthur]

Your videos always give me an incredibly powerful sense of positivity man. I am forever grateful for that.

[@joonsexybrain3102]

It looks like dream I would sell my sould to have house like this it feels so cozy and magical 😭

[@andyjulia]

I like your new adult decor. And what a lovely voice you have.

[@chadwickestey]

Just moved into my own apartment 6 months ago and it's been so fun creating my own home space. Got a lot ideas from this video - love your style Kyle. Can't wait to see what you got cooking up.

[@juliadaisymaygeraldes]

Your voice is just so calming. I could listen to you talk all day!

[@sharonnnnnnnn]

I love the way you've created this video. I felt like I was watching a movie or reading a good book. I love your apartment before and after!

[@melk_04]

i would love to live in a house like that🥺 so beautiful with all those little things in there🥰👍🏻

[@Stevie6636]

You should be very proud of yourself. The apartment is absolutely stunning and in saying that. I am in the planning stage of wanting to build my very own tiny house on a 24 footer. So if I could get my home looking anything like yours. Then I’d be pretty damn stoked to say the least.

[@W1728now]

It’s fun making a space in time your own ! There is nothing so relaxing as a great place to rest with your dreams ... well done .

[@carolynthompson6518]

Hi from Australia 🇦🇺. Love the renovation. I’m not meaning to be anything but supportive but Im so glad you transformed your apartment - before it lacked character- good job 👍

[@quel9039]

From one of the original damn good kids, it is so very utterly inspiring to see how far you've come, Kyle. It truly does. And your home suits you very much: cozy, welcoming, colorful, the ever-present vintage touch... ah. Haven't been here on a while, so might as well prepare a cup of coffee and do a Trout & Coffee marathon. Plus, now I have started my first ever paid job, I will help you achieve your patreon goal! It's not much, but it's all I can afford for now.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Plants make all the difference. It just glows. Good work. So relaxed. Love it.

[@rickmoro705]

That's when you are on the right track when you create own environment that inspires you to create your own environment The circle of life is energizing especially when it gives you that grounded feeling of self content and every one around you is smiling True vibes in motion All Abooard!! Digging this smooth ride Kyle as always 😁💖🕺

[@TroutandCoffee]

So true!! You must feel grounded in your environment! It's essential for focused creativity. And glad you're digging the ride Rick! Got some great stories to catch you up on. And just wait til you see what's been happening currently. Ah man it's been a riot!!

[@hunterglover8189]

Everyone has different taste. I am a minimalist and all of the stuff in this video gave me anxiety! I’m glad you find it cozy though! Keep up with the great content!

[@amandabolden3172]

You my friend are a story teller. In words and decor. I love the sentiment I shall always invest in my space/home. 😍👏🏾

[@giannegarcia566]

only 1 minute in and the filming style and editing is already amazing!

[@Kasumichan89]

The sign in the bathroom made me laugh🤣 however, it is really cozy and I like the warm colors you used. 😊

[@snicklefritz6182]

Goodness! It feels good when looking at it. One question: How do you keep all of it clean?

[@janicepittman8241]

Did you notice in his closet every piece of clothing was neatly folded? I think for him it just might be a breeze. But, I could be wrong.

[@orosedobheathaabhaile]

[@lorihodgeslor444]

I ll be forever loving and updating my space, too! I’m kind of like you when it comes to decorating. Found my way back to bohemian after 40 years....My life has always been life is a 3D collage.

[@agnesparke-james4279]

Well done, Sir. I love how you envisioned your new home and create the spaces to your your liking. That is your palace. Feels so good to be going to your sanctuary at the end of each day. Thanks for sharing.

[@patmuller4461]

It was so fun watching how you made your house into a home. I've done the opposite, and when I moved to Mexico, got rid of everything that wouldn't fit into my car. I've got a furnished house, with an atrium full of plants, four patios, and a wonderful colonial neighborhood. I've bought a couple of pieces of art, but I'm keeping it very simple but I love my home and the people who come to visit and share it.

[@rahulraviprasad]

Like how they have designated a separate space with a clear sign "Wash Balls Here". I like such houses, that make it easy for me to do stuff.

[@ena2424]

You don't need to be rich to build a good life, you just have to have a great imagination full of rich ideas to make it worth it..!

[@loser101sundays5]

Your voice is amazing. So calming you should think about doing those book out loud sessions.

I always get excited when I see your videos!!! I'm sick and in bed and this is the best medicine.. Love everything about you ❤ Thank you for this.. Don't ever stop 🙏

[@TroutandCoffee]

So happy to hear that! I'm sorry that you're sick! I'm glad I can offer some peace though! I promise I won't ever stop!

[@BumBeaDIYs]

Beautiful ❤️ I have over 50 plants ....and enjoy it so much

[@rudrajayant2178]

Came for a house tour . Left with a beautiful movie

[@somaym6550]

I wait for you to put up videos eagerly its sort of a little corner here where i can forget about work and stress. You bring me joy and calm. I work in a hospital caring and treating covid 19 patients. I come home to a notification from trout and coffee and it cheers me up. Keep the good work!

[@squeaker19694]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video and seeing a masculine take on boho decorating. Really well done. The space looks so cosy and personalised.

[@thisiseric]

Ive been subscribed I believe since you had just a couple thousand subscribers and its wild to see how far you've come with your living and business. Congrats on everything. Well deserved.

[@brigantiablackbird]

What a relief to see a home that reflects the personality of the person who lives there! And you use color!!! Do you know how many dull neutrals I've waded through before discovering your oasis? It's also delightful to see a space that 's home like and not a wretched minimalist, oppressive, anti-human vortex of despair! Well done sir! You have a new fan!

[@relaxlove.3678]

I smiled with tears the whole video... such a beautiful story...

[@seanlupardus2907]

Well, I didn't get to watch on Sunday. Been busy myself, my youngest son is moving in with me and is wanting a basement room. He has a lot of ideas and we are working together to make his ideas a reality. We are really enjoying our time together. Good to see you had a fresh new start with your apt. Keep your dreams in motion and click along. Good to hear about Heidi an you are still doing your thang! She is a good one.... Damn Good Kid an proud to be! Stay hungry, Kyle

[@numbblackpicture]

It's a mix of magazine-home and clutter. Love it.

[@offbanks]

AAH IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS 😭

[@adrienneterzen2604]

Its cozy for sure. Looks very clean and neat. A place for everything and everything in its place. An inspiration for organization despite all of the stuff.l like it

[@TheRealSunshineLLC]

Seriously thought I had way too much stuff still unpacking and now I have ideas 💡 on how to make my memories and necessities cozy and functional watching such a refreshing video the way you tide in a mini vlog while also sticking to the point was wonderful as well thank you very much for sharing and your time for quality ❤️

Gosh what a lovely space! Feels cozy and personal

[@Guardian_Angel_Ca]

Love the transformation it has a very warm feeling

[@magsmccat]

A common misconception is that you have to follow the rules of a style. You don’t have to be strictly boho or strictly minimalist for example, you can be both mixed with your own personal style. You should create a space, maybe with an idea of a style (ex. Scandinavian) but in the end you shouldn’t be trying to mold your space to a certain style if you don’t want to, but find what you like.

[@truemagicintuitive]

This space is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. You’re very good at manifestation! Inspiring stuff! 🤩

[@sonofmaroons]

so glad I clicked. the vibes are so cozy. Thanks for sharing

[@janjbowman]

Trout and coffee captivates me .

[@Gwenny_Black]

Ugh how beautiful. I really liked the warmth before, but It was like a beautiful Dorm. The after feels so natural and green, still bohemian and cozy. Like both tbh. It is too cluttered for me, but it is cluttered in a positive way. Love it.

[@davidyang5131]

Yeah my room is the size of his laundry room x'D

[@emilye709]

As a minimalist, the first design gave me anxiety lol. It reminded me of a dorm as well...The second one had one too many things on the wall for my tast but it is REALLY beautiful. Looks well thought out and so much more put together than the first. Love the circle book shelf and the plants! And the brick! Great job! Edit: After writing this I realized that another comment starts out with the same words. I did not copy them I swear lol
