 welcome to our apartment welcome back to the channel everybody wait wait I'm in the process of doing my hair welcome back to the channel everybody we are about to do a long anticipated and long overdue video which is finally a tour of our apartment in New York City specifically Manhattan the time is finally come do you have anything to say no just come for the ride so bad yeah so just a quick disclaimer before we get into the video yes we know it's expensive to live in New York City before you comment you can get a mansion in you know Idaho we know some people love it some people hate it some people prefer small town some people for prefer a big city so that's what it comes down to it is what it is so let's get in to our apartment tour all right let's go can you show me welcome to our apartment all right I know you've all been waiting for this well not really but we promised you this a year ago now that we're moving out I think it's a good time for us to show you our New York City apartment we obviously kept it a little bit under the radar just for privacy reasons so let's get into it what do you want to show us first okay it's just a little bit of a background we were originally looking to find an apartment we wanted a two bedroom one for our bedroom and then the second bedroom being for Michael's desk and studio however that comes with a higher cost so we kind of try to find a one bedroom apartment that we were able to have extra room so we could have a desk for Michael so this is our one bedroom New York City apartment on the upper east side when you walk in you have the views of New York City I think what really stole our heart were the views and just the openness I guess of the apartment and then the lighting there's so much lighting here it's really hard to top it and I think lighting is our number one concern when it comes to finding an apartment so we're gonna go into the kitchen the one thing that I really wish was a little bit bigger was our kitchen like just a reminder I kind of a backlog when we got married we got a ton of new stuff from our wedding so we don't really have much storage here so everything is kind of stuffed into all our closet space so that's the one thing that's just a little bit of a downside if you love cooking and want a bigger space or bigger kitchen this apartment may not be for you but the purpose so let's get into it so this is our kitchen this is where I prepped and cooked appliance wise I really just left two appliances that I we constantly use which is our toaster oven and our coffee machine I do use our blender quite often and it's usually I just situate it right along right over here and plug it in right there so it's not really in the space but I didn't use it for like a week or so so I ended up putting it away we do have a dishwasher so that's really awesome and we have a great stove and microwave so I think having a great stove like a gas stove is really awesome but this as you can see the storage space is not really ideal we really only have this cabinet this cabinet and then these cabinets underneath here for all the storage um what's your favorite part about the kitchen I think the view probably the view yeah so what's your favorite part of the kitchen my favorite part is most definitely the coffee maker there's nothing fancy about this coffee maker I think it's just more aesthetically pleasing yeah it's actually just really nice I wanted something to match the all-white kitchen and this is just a cute little white coffee maker looks good functions well has a timer for me when I wake up early in the morning it's awesome there's only like one left when we got it still my favorite part of the kitchen to this day it would be nice to have an espresso maker and a latte maker and a cappuccino maker but that comes with counter space which we don't have in case you're wondering where else we store all our kitchen stuff right in this closet we have our pantry here it's just a walk-in closet I put like some metal shelving in there so I can put all our appliances and the rest of the kitchen stuff in there it also is used to store all of our towels cleaning supplies luggage is everything else in there so it's just not really that organized or worth showing you before we get into Michael's office space this is our little entry which is great we have a coat closet and shoe closet so this is where we store our coats and shoes it's nice to kind of have that where we can take off our shoes we hang our coats in the winter time if it's rainy if it's snowy we can leave it out we're in here so that was really convenient for us and of course very important during the pandemic is instead of key hooks you have masked when you entered you have Michael's office so Michael do you want to show them your office let's do it all right let's do it all right Dr. Chilini all right so you've seen my desk on probably the desk setup video I did about a year ago pretty much nothing has changed still have the same dying orchid that's been on here for about a year that'd be Marshall speaker which I carry around upstairs to the beach whatever but did you have fun lost city pillard that artists made out of pills shout out lost city and asked all the hundred thousand subscriber plaque which hopefully that goes to a million soon if you subscribe so we'll go right over here to my left since the bar is pretty much in every one of my shots on YouTube and so many people ask me about this and so many people have things to say about this they think I'm an alcoholic and how could you have this much liquor but there's couple explanations for that and one we love to entertain people and when you have 10 plus people over especially for rooftop drinks before shadowing later you know you can go through a bottle of liquor through 10 people in no time so I also like to essentially trade bourbons with my friends find bourbons that you can't find anywhere else or shift bourbons that go to other states or that are limited releases so that's kind of a fun thing we do amongst friends where's this part from CB2 CB2 I don't know if the link will be in my description because I don't know it all right so now that we already had shown this part of our apartment we are going to move into the opposite side and our living space so this is our dining room table this particular table and chairs are actually the only new thing that we've bought for this apartment oh and the bar because we couldn't fit a table in our old apartment so we went for a circular table to kind of put it into this little area here usually we have fresh flowers but since we're leaving there's no fresh flowers next is our living room we have our couch we have our armchair our lamp our basket filled with little blankets we love even in the summertime I always use a blanket on the couch think my favorite part of this is just like sitting on the couch at nighttime and just like having the city views behind me we also have my dead succulent I still can't keep succulents alive unfortunately and our money tree that's actually flourishing this area here is unfortunately Michael's also studio space we he has his what is this called again track on oh yeah his tripod and his light is usually here he stores everything here we're just gonna be awesome that he has some studio space in the new apartment so this stuff is not gonna be in the living room area I hate when this is shown but it is what it is I don't really have much of a choice that's it's annoying to it is annoying I mean I have to keep it there I don't have a closet that can store it and I don't have anywhere to put it so that's why I'm so thankful we get to have more space coming up soon max is our entertainment set we love our Marshall we always listen to music usually in the weekends when we have been have coffee or make breakfast we'll probably get a new TV this guy has been with us since intern year so long time and then just my books and my cookbooks shout out to have baked harvest I love her and then my dying peace Lily can anyone tell me what I do with these brown tips I don't know what to do for them are we supposed to cut them off if you're interested this majority of the furniture here is from West Elm now that we finished our living room and dining room area we'll go into the bedroom and bathroom if you do have any questions on where things are from I guess just leave them in the comment below and Michael will try to answer them aka he'll ask me where it's from and ask a drama this is the only thing I think that's not from West Elm here is this carpet it's from overstock they have such cheap carpets and they look so pretty so highly recommend all right next oh next we have our mirror this is where you probably see all of our selfies this mirror can also go on the floor or it can go against the wall or it's ours against the wall um so that's that now we're going into our bedroom it actually has a decent amount of closet space in it believe it or not so when you walk in we have our bed our two night tables with our lamps and then we have our dresser right here and then our laundry basket right in this area so majority of our storage for our clothing is in the closets behind Michael they are super super tall which is great for Michael but not for me so I have my little stool to reach all the inside our furniture is from West Elm as well and then our comforter and duvet cover say actually say our duvet cover and shams are all from Pottery Barn we've had this stuff since living in North Carolina as well we may or may not am contemplating on getting a bigger bed for our new bed for our new apartment depending on the dimensions but that's really the only new thing that I think will probably update maybe we'll see one thing that I really hate about which I'm really excited about is extra storage space I hate storing stuff under the bed which you have to do here but it is what it is alright so next is our bathroom it is a smaller bathroom it would be amazing to have two sinks but this will do we have our vanity our toilet our shower we have our towels on the towel right behind here huge bathroom huge bathroom oh in the new apartment no this one oh yes huge where do I keep all my stuff all my skincare isn't here and all my makeup all my hair and makeup and skin stuff is all in here kind of have to make do with what room you have you just have to like store it in little containers and that's exactly what I did just to keep it organized yes usually we'll take turns getting ready because it's too small to tolerate two people now we'll bring you to our favorite place to spend our free time when we're staying in the apartment just an FYI this building does have amenities such as a gym and a laundry room that's on the third floor so that's really convenient you can go do your laundry and then while you're waiting for your laundry go work out right across from there so that makes life a little bit easier and just makes doing laundry a little bit more entertaining I guess because you know you can work out in the meantime we're gonna go head on to the rooftop where we love spending the summertime or when it's really really nice out okay let's go alright let's go see our rooftop this is our fabulous rooftop you have lounge chairs to tan and then you also have little cabanas to hang with friends we even to tan underneath there the views of the city are absolutely gorgeous here and then on this side we have the same views of our apartment yes the same views of our apartment and the views of Queens back then and then it extends all the way back here and then we have an outdoor shower here in case you get very too steep while you're not baking in the sun so we have no pool yeah and that's it so that officially concludes our apartment tour and our building tour building tour
