- Hey AD, I'm Maude Apatow.
Welcome to my home.
[upbeat music]
So this is my new apartment.
I just moved to New York this past January
and I've always wanted to live here my whole life.
So I'm so excited
and it's still a bit of a work in progress.
I saw this wallpaper and I just thought it was so pretty.
It feels like I'm like walking into a beautiful
forest garden right when I come in.
So I really liked that.
I like the contrast from like being in New York
and things are kind of hectic
and the second I get into my apartment I'm like,
oh, I can decompress.
Like I feel relaxed when I walk inside.
And I think that was probably my main goal
with the entryway.
I'd been looking for an apartment for a really long time
and it looked
so different when I first saw it for the first time.
But I just kind of had that feeling like say yes
to the dress, like you just know.
And I came inside and I was like, has a good energy.
And I think that's really important.
The area is beautiful and the light is good.
Just all the things that you look
for in an apartment, I feel like this one had.
[upbeat music]
So [giggling] here's the living room.
Here's my cat tower for my cat, Dolly.
She's kind of bi-coastal, just like me.
So we're back and forth.
She's not here right now, but she usually is.
And she likes to sit in the second one, as you can see
'cause there's lots of hair in it.
Here's like my little dining room nook.
I usually have breakfast here
and use this table also as a desk
because you know,
in these apartments you gotta make use of the space.
I've done minimal hosting here.
I've had maybe three friends over,
but in the future I'll have more and cook.
And you know, I just finished redoing my kitchen actually.
[upbeat music]
Here's the kitchen. It's pink because I love pink.
I love the marble.
I loved this Kallista unlacquered brass faucet.
I thought it was just really pretty
and matched all of these doorknobs.
And I loved the gold. I thought the gold was really pretty.
I knew I wanted the cabinets to be pink,
but I was like, how do I find a pink
that's not like super overpowering?
So I think I found a good one.
It's like a good, light pink that's sort of easy on the eye.
Love these tomatoes. I love heirloom tomatoes.
Can't wait to make a nice heirloom tomato salad,
which will be easy 'cause I've got the goods.
These actually are my cookies.
They're Tate's and they're my favorite cookies.
This is my salt and pepper shaker.
There isn't any salt or pepper in it
because I think it's more of, it's a decorative piece.
I thought it was so cute.
I don't even know what's in my kitchen.
I haven't been here in like, oh,
I do love some baked beans.
Always have those in the closet.
[upbeat music]
So when I do eventually host people,
I'll probably make them a drink at this bar cart.
While you're making a drink,
you can look at this gorgeous portrait.
It's painted by a German artist
and I thought it kind of looked like me.
And I think people when they come in do think it's like a
custom painting of me.
My favorite cocktail is a martini,
so I have, oh, this is cute, actually.
This, just supplies to whip up a little martini.
Here's my couch.
It's actually underneath another beautiful
painting of a woman
who vaguely looks like me, surrounded by cats.
Like I just love all of these little details
and like the cat's face, if you look [indistinct]
it is so cute.
The little whiskers like that.
All of these pieces here are Soho Home.
And the carpet, I loved this couch.
I thought it was just like really
comfortable when I sat on it.
My boyfriend had COVID
and I didn't let him sleep in my
bedroom for obvious reasons.
And so he slept on the couch
and he said it was very comfortable.
So it also can double as a bed for guests.
This chair I just think is really cute. I liked it.
It swivels around. It's a casual little thing.
It was always like my dream to move
to New York it and to do theater.
So earlier this year I came here and was doing theater
and living here and I was just like, I've peaked.
So now what?
But it, it's always been my dream.
So I can't believe it happened, honestly. It's crazy.
I'm extra happy in New York.
[upbeat music]
Okay, so here's my bedroom.
I really liked this sort of like pink wash on the walls
and then the ceiling and all
of these lighter bits are also pink.
They're just a lighter pink.
And then this paint painting I bought
from this artist, Dylan Rheingold.
I love her art. I think she's so talented.
And I don't know, something about this like
with the pink cheeks, I thought it looked so pretty
and so much like emotion in it.
Yeah, I really like gravitated towards this.
Here's my bed.
I've never had a king bed before
and so I thought now
that I'm an adult woman in my first place, I'll have
a king sized bed and I usually sleep on one side of it,
so I might as well have a twin bed.
I love this bed frame. This is also Soho Home.
I don't know, it's really simple and pretty
and just my goal with the bedroom was like sort
of a relaxing feeling.
And I definitely feel that when I'm in here.
The pink wash, it's kind of crazy
how much it changes the entire vibe of the room.
I feel like because of that, I didn't feel like I needed
to get too many art pieces.
I feel like just keeping it clean, like the wash
of the wall is almost like an art piece itself.
Yeah, I really love it. It's just so calming.
[upbeat music]
This is my bathroom.
We have the same marble as the marble in the kitchen.
And then these are also the Kallista
faucets that I have in the kitchen.
They're also the towel rack.
The tile, I really liked the pink tile obviously,
but this is sort of like a little bit of a darker,
dustier pink, so it's also very neutral.
But yeah, I mean it's pretty tight in here.
[upbeat music]
This has been fun, but it's time to go.
So I'll see you soon. Bye.
