Hello there my name is Kelsey.
And my name is Becky.
And we are the sorry girls and welcome to my Sweet Digs.
Our Sweet Digs or our Sweet Digs.
Yeah, Yeah.
If you guys don’t know who we are, we have a DIY channel here on YouTube and today we
are so excited to share with you our loft space that we work and film out of–
and I life there so things get complicated but I can fill you in later.
If you guys have one of these fancy headsets make sure to click the icon in the play bar
below so you can watch this in virtual reality.
Wow that’s cool and make sure you subscribe to Refinery29 below we could only let you
in if you do that.
So can you do that?
Okay let’s go.
This office work/live space is located at the North side of Toronto.
We work here and also happen to live here up in the mezzanine it costs about two grand
a month.
And that’s about $1,500 USD pretty good to be honest.
It used to be an industrial building but you know this kitchen was not always here and
actually the appliances we had to buy when we moved in.
Yeah.
There wasn’t a lot of room for like pots and stuff so we actually did this
half with the bar and you can hang up your pots.
At first I was like this is cluttered but now I love it, it’s like
kitchen art.
This is really cool, this is the knife magnet.
Yeah I actually hated this when I moved in I especially hated that this was on an angle
and I was like “why is this here” but everybody always comes over and is like, “where
did you get it it’s so cool, I love it”.
And now you start to own it yeah I hooked that up it looks great.
But like yeah why did I put it up on an angle?
So right behind us is the actual washer in here.
And fun fact this is the only room in this studio that has a door on it.
We actually did a video where we tested out plants surviving in a room with zero windows
and surprisingly a lot of them lived I don’t know how.
Science I don’t understand.
Over here we actually have this latter which I know looks like beautiful décor but we
actually built this latter to get up to our storage area.
A lot of big things have to go up there.
And of course we had to make it cute at the same time.
So, next we’ll go under the mezzanine so this is kind of multi-use purposes storage
there’s a filming space but we’ll get to that.
Come ‘on.
So welcome to underneath the mezzanine, I think that’s what we’re going to call
it, it would be a great club name.
We Actually have great strip lights up here.
We could kind of give it a club atmosphere, woohoo.
Under the mezzanine—or not.
Or not.
We also film some videos under here when we need the seamless backdrops.
Work, work.
This seamless we don’t even own.
We have not yet brought our seamless paper, we can’t decide which color to get.
You have any ideas of which color to get you can tell us.
Also over here we have this amazing storage system that holds basically everything that we
need it to so come with us and I’ll show you what that’s like.
Here we have our cabinets, we love these.
I think they look like they came with the loft, but they didn’t and they look like
they were super expensive but they weren’t.
It works because it’s by the front door so you can drop the supplies for a future
video in here we can sort them all.
And also Justin under here whose a working away on some edits.
Follow us around this wall, we’ll show you some other cool stuff.
Over here is the main film set we film pretty much the bulk of it here.
This is our work bench, it’s been a little bit beat up.
We sand it and reseal it over and over so it looks as fresh as it can any tool that
you need to do anything exists in these draws.
This is actually a kitchen cabinet system from Ikea but we hacked it and stacked it
so that it all fits together really nicely.
And this is where we film all of our videos this has the best light we have lots of windows
so I mean, perfect.
And if you follow us over here, this is the most office-y part of the office.
A lot of this art was send in to us by our viewers that watch our channel.
And this wall also has our play button, so this one we got first when we hit 100,000 and
this one we got last year when we got 1,000,000 which is a crazy moment.
And then our vlog channel also hit 100,000 I was even more excited to get this one.
Me too! Yes!
When it’s the vlog channel it’s your life and you’re just doing it really for fun,
like well whatever happens, happens.
Seriously.
Hey guys it’s Tuesday and we’re actually in the middle of a live shoot right now.
We’re shooting with Refiney29 and they’re doing a little tour of our space.
People actually like it and it’s so cool!
It’s been such a fun journey of growth.
Alright let’s bring you over here to the living room.
So this is the living room area.
I guess it’s more so your living room area but
it is full of DIY’s that we made.
This plant stand is a upcycle.
This plant shelf I think it’s a really interesting design to bring your couch a little bit away
from the wall so it doesn’t feel like everything is crammed in there.
One of the oldest DIY’s that’s in here I think is this blanket latter.
We do have two DIY ladders in here, woo.
So although the living room is kind of shared and a little bit of mine and a little bit
of the sorry girls, what’s really mine is the bedroom and that’s on the mezzanine upstairs
so come follow me and I’ll show you that.
Okay welcome to my bedroom this is my own little space within this loft.
Everything I have is right here and it’s kind of nice to see everything you own in
one place.
So I was kind of downsizing in a way, I know that seems weird because this place is huge.
Ay Ay.
Anyways this is where I get ready, I don’t get ready in the bathroom, I want anyone that
walks into our loft to not be like, "oh does somebody like live here that’s weird, why is there
a toothbrush in the bathroom?"
I want it to be like this is our office look we’re super professional and I just come up here
to like this is my little nest and hide away at the end of the day.
I thought it would be cool to add more plants, it’s never a bad idea is to add more plants.
We made this planter on the other side as you would see downstairs there’s all the
hanging plants well this is where they’re hanging from.
It’s awesome to have a DIY plant stand, DIY side tables, DIY’s are apart of me and
it comes out in every way possible.
Once you know you can make something and you can make it your own and you can kind of customize
it you kind of can’t let that go and then everything you do has to be customize a little
bit because you know you can make it or make it better.
Now that you have seen my bedroom let’s go back downstairs and join and say goodbye!
We’ve had so much fun showing you our space I hope you enjoyed it, there’s a lot going
on but I’m glad I got to show it to you.
And hopefully you stick around to see what we have up our sleeves.
Alright it’s time for us to say bye to you now
And we’re going to walk you out.
Thanks so much for tuning in to Sweet Digs on Refinery29.
We will see you later.
Bye.
