 Hey y'all, what's up? Welcome to my apartment tour. I'm a Snolly and I have been living in this apartment since last June and it is finally time to film an apartment tour. I feel like I've been so caught up in just wanting to get new pieces here and there but I feel like if I don't film it now it's never gonna happen so I'm really excited to share my apartment tour with you guys finally. And can you chat to Smart City who is sponsoring this video? If you guys remember last year I actually partnered with Smart City on my whole apartment hunting process. I toured probably over 30 apartments here in the Austin area and I filmed it all for you guys on my YouTube channel so I will have that playlist linked down below. You are searching for an apartment whether you're just moving to Austin or you've been living here for a couple of years now but you just wanna switch up the area. I highly recommend checking out Smart City. They are an apartment locator and this service is completely free to you. They just get the referral fee at the end when you sign with an apartment. Their team of local licensed real estate agents are there to help you find the perfect apartment. So basically if I wanted white backslash or just like white cabinets in my kitchen I would go and tell them that's what I want and they would kind of set up tours from there. So it's a very easy process and just their knowledge about the area is very helpful for someone who is new to the area. Smart City is based in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Atlanta, Denver and Chicago. So if you're in one of those areas you are good to go and you're gonna find your dream home, I just know it. I will have a link to Smart City in the description box below. If you guys are looking for a new apartment definitely check them out. So let's get straight into the apartment tour. Ryan and I actually moved from Riverside here in Austin over to the east side and we have been loving it. We are in a two bedroom, two bathroom and this is how much we pay for rent. I am putting it on the screen because I am not quite sure because we had six weeks free in the beginning because we were one of the first people that actually moved into this apartment and we have been loving it so far. A lot of the furniture is the same from the last apartment but I did get some new pieces and I'm really excited to share it with you guys. There are normal lights for you guys so you can see everything that there is to see but we're starting off with these stools that I'm pretty sure were in my last apartment. I found these on Facebook Marketplace and when I first got to Austin I was straight out of college so I tried to save as much as I could and just kind of DIY's and I painted them white and I think they're so cute. And then coming into here we have the pantry over here which we definitely lost space in this whole apartment in general so the pantry could use some work and I just definitely need to take a day to organize all of that but it is what it is and this apartment compared to our last place I think was 200 square feet smaller so it definitely is a little bit of a smaller space but we do live in a better location definitely closer downtown so once you start getting a little closer downtown spaces are gonna be a little bit smaller which kind of sucks but you know, whatever. Okay so over here we have like our pasta just kind of random stuff popcorn, soups, all of that kind of stuff then we got our fridge which I feel like there's no reason to see this because there's nothing really that great in there there's probably some things that are going bad. Over here we have our little corner and this is like one of my favorite things about this kitchen in specific because our last kitchen was just kind of like straight but over here I feel like you could just hide a lot of stuff so right here we have my air fryer which I finally caved in and purchased a full air fryer I had an instant pot air fryer but it was just so annoying to get it out every single time so I scratched it and went with the air fryer that could just sit on our countertop then we have my toaster which I feel like I got a lot of inspiration from like a smeg toaster but it's like so cheap on Amazon and it's linked in my kitchen category on Amazon and then we have Ryan's Nespresso area right here which I definitely use sometimes and then we have these really cute flour and sugar jars also from Amazon you're definitely gonna see that a lot of stuff in my home is from Amazon and I will definitely go ahead and link my Amazon storefront down below and I have like all of the home organization, kitchen tools, all that kind of stuff so if you guys are moving into a new apartment definitely go check that out but over here we have my Ikea face some nice beautiful flowers that Ryan got me and then this olive oil jar that I got on Amazon and this beautiful vintage cutting board which I really wanna style my kitchen a little bit better like maybe even add some cookbooks or a couple more vintage cutting boards but this is also from Amazon in this other corner of the kitchen we got my kitchen aid mixer and our beautiful knives we actually like invested in some new knives this year and they are perfect and they honestly encourage me to cook more and just like prep more because they aren't like so frustrating to cut things with it really does change the game when you have like actually sharp knives in your kitchen but this kitchen aid mixer was bought during the pandemic and it was like one of my first like big girl purchases for like kitchen appliances and do I use it that often? No, but I still am really grateful that I have it because when I do use it I love it so much off the kitchen we are gonna go into the second bedroom and baths so this is the guest bathroom and we have very updated bathrooms in this apartment which is what I loved about this specific building because our other apartment was more like condos and it was really nice don't get me wrong and it was way bigger but specifically the bathrooms were as updated as I would have liked so we have like the really nice finishes with the black hardware and just like the gray countertops which I would have loved them to be white but you know you can't be picky with everything but I think this is just such a nice bathroom over here we have a lot of nice storage and I just recently organized everything I put it in a recent vlog but how beautiful is this? It's like my own little mini Sephora and also down here we got my hair products and I'm just obsessed with all of this little organization stuff their acrylic risers that I got from Amazon as well just right off the bathroom we are walking into our second bedroom this is our guest room, my filming room Brian's closet room, the office literally everything you can imagine but this is my safe space so first we are gonna start off over here so this desk is actually from Wayfair and I'm not sure if I still have the link for it because it might not be online anymore just because it was from years ago and then this chair is also from Wayfair and it's a beautiful, comfy, super comfy chair I love it so much I recently got a laptop stand and a phone stand and it's actually been so game changing because you can actually sit up properly and not be hunched over over your desk so it's really great and I highly recommend it it's also from Amazon and then, ooh, let's talk about my mirror okay well this one I got on Facebook Marketplace and then this one is from Ikea which I recently got and it is massive compared to the last one I have and I love it for my mirror selfies, outfit of the days you already know the drill and then coming over here we have these curtains from Amazon if you guys watch the vlogs you know how many curtains I had to go through to finally land on these but I'm very happy with them they're beautiful they're like this linen white texture and I think they make the room look so dreamy I actually recently got them within the past couple of months and it's really just changed the vibe of this room as a whole and then over here we have my cactus which if you ever green them and you know a lot about cacti please help a girl out I have no idea what to do but it's starting like really skinny at the top so we actually like cut it off because I read online that it would grow fast but it's not healing quite as nicely as I would have hoped so, I don't know I definitely know it needs a lot more sunlight but I thought this room gets a lot of sun so I'm really confused about it but anyways, I love this cactus so much I got it from East Austin Succulents and I thought it was very fitting since we've moved over the east side so over here are my newest purchases for the apartment so we'll start with the poof this is from CB2 and it's called the boucle poof I believe and basically I thought it was just really perfect for if I wanted to sit on the couch I could put my feet up or if I was working on my desk I could put my feet up over there like put it under it so I love this poof so much and then this couch is my pride and joy it is from West Elm it is the Harmony sofa and it's actually a sleeper sofa so you can fold it out and it becomes a bed which is amazing because I have wanted to like a sleeper sofa for so long because I can actually use this as an office while no one's here and then if we have guests over they can always sleep over and we'll have a second bed for them and a big plus for this couch is that it has a performance fabric so it's really easy to clean and it just doesn't really even get stained at all so I got the whitest of the white colors that I could get and I'm so happy with it, it's gorgeous last thing I wanted to show you guys is this rug which I found on Etsy and it's a neutral girls dream it has all these little abstract prints on it and I thought it was perfect to tie in this whole space because in the bedrooms they do have carpets but in the living room there are hardwoods which I still wanted rugs to just make it feel a little bit homeier now we're gonna go into the living room really quick which I feel like I've talked about this couch for so long and it is my pride and joy it was like one of my first post-grad purchases and all I knew was that I wanted a white couch and I got it it is from Wayfair and it is honestly the most comfortable couch we chill on it, we nap on it we honestly eat here 90% of the time because we don't have a dining room table so we love this couch so much and we've had it for almost three years now and we got it in the color Conversation Pearl so it's not completely white so you can kind of tell our walls are white and it's kind of like a shade off but I think it's still beautiful and very comfortable and I'm so glad that I actually went with my gut and purchased that on Wayfair and then moving into the coffee table I feel like whenever I post TikToks in my apartment everyone always asks where this is from we found it on Facebook Marketplace and I remember when I asked the girl where she got it from just to know, just for future reference she said they got it custom made in California I believe that's what she said so I'm not sure if you could find a similar piece but if your boyfriend, husband, significant other dad knows how to do woodworking I feel like it's pretty easy to kind of just mimic our rug is from Rugable and then over here we have this big mirror from TJ Maxx this piece was actually in our last apartment too and it's kind of like a reworked piece one of Ryan's family friends found it and painted it white, added new hardware and I think it fits the space perfectly and then we have just some little knickknacks over here, a beautiful Target candle the Scout Guide for Austin it's such a beautiful book and I feel like it's a perfect for coffee table book and then we have this thing which I also found on Facebook Marketplace and then I'm not sure if I told you guys a story about this in my last apartment tour but this stick means a lot to me because my mom found it when we were so freaking young in Hilton Head and whenever I see driftwood I think about her and I don't know, I just think it's a really cool piece so we like to have that there and then we just have like a big speaker and then my other favorite post-grad purchase is this Roku TV Smart TVs are a game changer walking into the master bedroom this is my beautiful bed, so comfortable and I sleep like a freaking princess at night this bedding is from Amazon it's like this linen texture for years I was stuck to just like a white duvet bedding but I decided to go a little darker not anything too extreme, you guys know me I still love my neutrals and then I found this beautiful mudcloth pillow from Etsy and it was actually just a cover but it is stunning and it's like one of my favorite pieces in our bedroom this print up here as well as the living room prints are from Desenio this headboard is custom made I actually found some guy on Next Door Neighbor to make it for us I wanted this like hair and bone pattern and he did an amazing job it's made with post oak wood and I think the color just kind of like compliments all of our wood pieces in this space so moving on to our bedside tables these are from Facebook Marketplace as well but I'm pretty sure they are the Opal House brand and Target and then this live is also from Target this piece is also new to this apartment this is from Wayfair I didn't really find a dresser that I loved but since we did downgrade especially on our closet spaces we needed a dresser so I found this one and I love the little gold details because I'm definitely a gold gal last but not least we're here in the master bathroom and the best thing about this apartment is that it had his and her sinks because our last apartment did and whenever I was touring apartments even the two bedroom, two bathroom apartments sometimes did not have the two sinks which I was like, mm, not gonna happen so I'm really glad that this place had it and again, the finishes are so beautiful the black hardware, very modern, very me over here we have this nice little linen closet which is really nice for just storage in general I have some towels in here, miscellaneous and then this is also Ryan's second closet because he did get the smaller closet in the guest bedroom another thing that really sold us about this apartment was how massive the shower was because our last apartment we did have a glass door but it was so small that if we could barely move I could barely shave my legs and I really liked the subway tile and again, it's just really modern and updated like I said, Ryan has the guest bedroom closet and I got the walk-in so thank you Ryan for taking one for the team I did have to downgrade with my closet space I don't know if you guys do remember the last apartment but it was like a room for a closet in itself and it was crazy how much space I had so coming here, seeing this closet was a bit of a shock to me I'm trying to do my best with storage for example, I just put up these winter coats in this vacuum sealed bag up here and then there's just like a lot of storage a lot of shelves which is very much appreciated and then they also have these built-in shelves which was really nice for storage so I kind of put all of my accessories like purses, hats, swimsuit, shoes all that kind of stuff and then more shoes are up here there's also a shoe rack on the back of the door with pretty much all of my shoes and then over here, I kind of love to put just clothes that I've just recently gotten in so I know what to shoot for Instagram photos or just like what to wear on TikToks and honestly, just to remind myself what I have that's new to wear out because sometimes things just get hidden I definitely lied, the master bedroom was not last but the balcony is and we have this little love seat we bought it from Walmart for our last apartment the balcony was a lot bigger in our last apartment but the view is even better in this apartment so that wraps up this apartment tour I hope you guys enjoyed it and definitely be sure to check out Smart
