- Hello everyone, I've got a bit of a different video
for you today, but it's one I think
at least some of you will be excited to see.
We've just moved into a new apartment!
So what I want to do is give you an empty apartment tour.
And show you the space before we fill it up
with all of our stuff.
As I'm sure many of you know, I work from home.
So this was one of our main reasons
for moving into a new apartment.
We're now in a two bedroom place,
compared to the one bedroom place we were in before.
I basically ended up spending all of my time
in the living room, that's where my desk was,
that's where we cooked and ate,
that's where the sofa was to hang out on.
So this is going to be nice to have a bit more space.
Let me show you around!
(digital music)
So when you come in our entryway,
we have a utility cupboard on the left here,
which is where our washing machine is,
and we've just been measuring
for some shelves to go in this space.
And you have to excuse,
all the random cleaning products hanging out in the floor.
We're going to get a shoe bench to go here we've decided,
cuz the hallway's wide enough.
And here is the first bathroom,
cuz how cool that we have two bathrooms now,
that's like a super big luxury for London.
Anyways, it is pretty standard bathroom,
we have a bath, we have a shower,
we have a toilet, and a sink.
And there is lots of storage as well which is great.
So as you exit the bathroom,
kind of like straight in front of you,
as you come in the entryway is our big living space.
To the left here is our kitchen.
It all seems, it's pretty nice.
Nice modern appliances, lots of cupboards for storage space.
And all the cupboards are the ones where you like go boop,
and they open like that.
Some of them are very tall like,
ugh I can't reach that top shelf.
Might put stuff up there only Mark needs to access.
Something I'm really excited about is right now,
in our current apartment our fridge is probably
the size of the cupboard here,
and now we have like a nice full fridge
with a separate freezer.
So yes, small wins there. (laughs)
It's got ceramic hobs,
and for some reason mirrors as the backsplash.
I don't know why I need to see myself when I cook, but okay.
Here is our living room space, hardwood floors.
We've just been trying to work out where to put the TV,
like if it should be this wall or this wall.
I don't know, I think we are going to get the stuff in here
and see what we think.
But off the living room is a balcony,
which I'm really excited about.
I'm not going to pan out too much cause I don't want
to show you exactly where I live. (laughs)
Yeah we're going to get a table and chairs out here
and it should be really nice.
Okay this is the second bedroom,
and this is going to be my office!
It's pretty small, would be very tiny as a bedroom,
I'm not gonna lie.
But we've just been marking out where my desk will go,
it's going to come out the corner of this box here
and go back.
And over here we think we can fit one of those IKEA daybeds,
that's like a single bed that pulls out to a double.
When it pulls out, things are going to be tight, but,
ya know we're going to see how it goes.
There is a wardrobe in here as well with hanging space,
which is probably where I'll be keeping my clothes
because there's not actually hanging space
in our master bedroom.
So imagine this here,
is where I'm going to be working from now on,
in it's own little room.
I'm very excited about that!
All of the rooms have central heating as well,
which is nice.
We haven't quite figured out how to use that yet,
but it's also summer so we don't need to.
Anyway, here is the master bedroom with the en suite.
Turn on that light.
So we've got a shower in here,
and we were both really excited
about it being a rain shower.
Again a fairly standard bathroom,
but I like that all of the fittings seemed very modern.
And again there is a lot of mirrors.
I'm not sure why I need to be able to see my feet down here.
But, okay.
In the master bedroom the closet is actually,
this big cupboard here that has shelves in it.
I'm not sure why they didn't put hanging space.
I don't know, a bit baffled by that,
but we are going to get some drawers
to go at the back here against this back wall.
Which will be good cause it will mean we have less furniture
cluttering up our actual bedroom.
You can see here the shape
of the bed of the previous tenants.
So yeah this will be our main bedroom.
It's like the afternoon right now,
so there's some nice light coming in.
And there's central air as well which is really cool.
So that, my friends is my new apartment!
Where I'm going to be living for the next two years.
We signed a two year lease.
I'm really excited to get all of our stuff moved in.
That's going to be happening next Friday,
so about a week from when your watching this video.
Then this will finally be home.
So stay tuned for a new workspace popping up
in the blog soon I guess,
and I think I'll do a proper workspace tour
when I have all of my stuff in there
and set up how I want it.
Thank you for watching.
I hope you enjoyed this empty apartment tour.
I know I always like watching these,
so I just thought I would take up the opportunity
to make my own because I don't move house all that often.
Give it a thumbs up if you did enjoy it.
And I'll probably be posting some more about the move itself
on my Instagram story,
so if you wanna go follow me over there
and I will keep you updated on the progress.
Alright!
Thanks for watching everyone!
Hope you have a good day,
and I hope I'll see you in the next video
which I promise will be much more design related.
Alright. Bye!
