 Welcome! Let's decorate my New York City apartment! Thoroughly sweating. Ahhhh! Go away! Go! Welcome to episode 2 of my Decorating My New York City Apartment series with me. That's a mouthful. I should probably rename it, but who cares? If you've seen episode 1, I just finished kind of like reorganizing my whole apartment setup so everything is like backwards and different and I love it. And in today's episode, episode 2, we will be hanging up some wall art. Preferably on this wall here. So let's just get right into it and start, you know, kind of unboxing these picture frames that's been sitting in my apartment for like, now. Okay, if you watch Vlogmas, then you might remember this package. I'm finally ready to open it for you guys. It was a surprise, but at this point, I think you should know it's picture frames in here. Hopefully, none of them have broken or... that would really mess up this video. Is it hot in here? Because ah, it's very hot! Sorry, my dishwasher's going. I hope it's not too distracting. Alright, moment of truth. Let's see if these frames are still intact. We're in good shape, guys. Good shape. Everything is in mint condition. Do you drink water? And then there's one last frame. It's the biggest of all, but, you know, so it's not that the ones are broken. I think we're gonna be fine. And we're good. Y'all, I am so proud of us. We are really doing the thing, decorating my apartment. Like, ah, I just feel so, so blessed. I mean, maybe wondering what art I'm putting in these frames. I was at the Whitney. I'm quite sure I bought this. In fact, I know I bought this. It was actually probably one of my first vlogs, and I saw this art that I loved, so I bought it. Why is my cat meowing? The whole Whitney experience, it was actually really fun. And when I saw the art, I was like, actually embarrassing, because you get really weird when you're by yourself and just talking to a camera. I actually know how to hang things onto the wall, but, you know, I'm not gonna let that stop me. I am still going to find my joy, and we'll figure that out at a later point in time. Let's get back in. This is a mess. This is Gav, and this says 24 by 36. Okay. And this says 24 by 32. You know what? It's fine. It's fine. We're just going to have, like, an inch or so of furniture around it. I think that might look nice. This had a brilliant idea. I'm just going to put this behind it. It's white, so you probably won't even be able to notice, and it's only like two inches. It'll be good. We got this! The poster has been rolled up for so long. I literally have to, like, sit on top of it, so it doesn't roll. You know what I mean? I'm really, really struggling here, guys. I am hot. I am thoroughly sweating, and I'm really struggling with this poster. I think because it is trying to curl, like, the frame won't stay closed, so I'm just going to use some books and some paperweeds. I'm actually going to leave this like this overnight. Jock! Stop. Go. Go. Go away. My cat, dude. He's, like, trying to eat my books. He's always in my business. Okay. So hopefully we'll tune in with that tomorrow. I kind of want to call it a day because I'm so sweaty and I'm so hot, and I'm nervous that maybe I ordered the wrong size for the other frames as well, and I just want to, you know, I'll see you guys tomorrow. For you, it'll be like three seconds, but I will see you guys tomorrow. I went to Michael's, and I actually got a frame that was properly sized, and so now the poster's in it. It looks great. I clearly was getting really frustrated in the last video, so I just had to do that. I couldn't do it on camera because I thought I was going to have, like, a meltdown. I'm not even kidding. But in today's little section of Decorate My Apartment with Me that's now turning into a month-long progress project, I realized I have to go to IKEA, which I think I'm going to film in a separate vlog, which you can probably see here because I think that vlog's going to go live before this video does. Let me move y'all. So I did order new frames and some, like, creamy gallery wall art that should be around here somewhere. I still have my posters that sadly were too small to fit in these frames that I got, so now I have, like, eight of these frames and not a lot to go in them. I think I maybe have, like, two pictures that should fit in them, but I figured in today's portion we could just put the pictures in the frame and then, I don't know because I still don't have anything to hang them on the pulse with, but at least I will feel like I'm making some progress, which I really just need to win today, okay? I really need a win. So these are my Chantel Martin picture frames. I got these from the Whitney and a vlog that if you're an OG here, you remember the vlog. Then these came from House of Hughes. They're like Monets and stuff, but I don't remember what I ordered, so they'll be fun to open. And then these are the new picture frames that hopefully will fit in here or will fit those. Let's see. More frames. Like, just a little art. I thought it was cute. It's, like, one that I got, like, whatever was green. I love this. This is the Van Gogh. Another motise. I just wanted to bring, like, some color into this face. That would be cute. Another motise. Shock. Now it's not your time. Now it's not your time to shine. Go away. Go. I'm actually me. I'm happy you guys love me anyway. 20. It's now 2022. Okay, maybe I'm being dramatic. Maybe 2021. It's been a long time and we are finally here. We're finally, finally here. My goal is, like, everything that can be framed will be framed right now because I'm tired. And I need to feel like I'm making progress because it has been way too long with absolutely little to no progress made. So this at least feels like a step. Leave the plants alone. I'm giving him mixed messages by yelling at him but then also putting him. What are you doing? Oh, I just framed literally every single photo I have. Well, not every single photo I have. I put a picture in every single frame I have except for this one because I didn't have anything that could fit in it so I need another photo that's allowed by 14. But look at all these photos. I think they all look really, really cute. We're gonna have some gallery walls going. I have so many Matisse's. I'm not even like a huge Matisse fan. Like I would much rather have like a Degas or a Dolly. But you know, it is what it is. I am obsessed with these. I think they came out so, so good. And honestly, I think that is it for today. I need to, oh I told you guys, I have a good idea. So once I do that, we should be able to start putting things on this wall. And then I also kind of want to put some stuff over here like next to the TV. I also want to move the mirror that's in my bedroom over to the TV. But I'm really excited. I'll see you guys in like 30 seconds. It'll probably be like five weeks later and I'll finally, finally be ready to hang some show on my wall. But you know, it's all in divine timing. So I'll talk to you guys. Why am I signing off? This video is not over. Okay, to cue the Spongebob clip, the whatever transition, whatever I'm doing, whatever. Bye. All this trash I have, oh my god. I have to watch out for this one because he will eat my photos that are not framed. The moment has finally arrived. We are ready to make the gallery wall. So I'm so happy. This has been a long time coming. I've realized that I actually put in the frame upside down. So like the hook is up here, but then the picture is upside down. So I have to fix that. And then I'm also going to head over to my neighbors and borrow some tools so I can actually complete the project. But like we're in the home stretch. Let's go. I want this one to go kind of like up here ish. I don't have any tape. I've also never done this before, but I saw on YouTube, the most reliable source for information, obviously. That you just put like a little toothpaste here, then that's like, you know where to hang the wall for nail. And hopefully this works. Luckily, we're at the end of the tube. So like, I really don't care if I put my fingers on this. All right, let's see. So I'm going to put a little toothpaste on it. Literally just a little bit pasty. Being Bob the Builder is work. It's in the process. Honestly, I got these photos, some of them over a year ago. So I am very happy you guys were able to come with me on this journey. I'm going to end this video here. There will be more videos in the series, especially because now I'm feeling like inspired. And I think I should just honestly hang all of the photos that I have while I'm in the hanging mood. So look out for episode four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 of me hanging stuff in my apartment. Thank you guys so much for watching.
