-Hi, I'm Chelsea. -I am Warren.
-And welcome to our sweet digs,
where we have almost as many plants as we do furniture.
-Alright, come on in.
-I have a nonprofit in Houston.
It's called Mia's Closet.
We collect clothing donations
for kids from underserved communities.
And then, outside of that, my day-to-day is copywriting.
-I play soccer for the Philadelphia Union
and part-time designer and photographer
for my brand, Creavalle.

-We live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
in a bi-level, 2-bed, 2.5-bath apartment.
We've lived in this neighborhood for a year and a half, now,
and we really love being here.
-I'd have to say my favorite part about the neighborhood is
the strong sense of community.
-We love being able to walk
to really popular neighborhoods from here, bike,
and we get to make the most of our time here.
We actually pay $2,000 a month, so it might sound like a steal,
but, actually, we were looking for something
in a little bit lower price range.
But, all in all, this was a diamond in the rough,
so [indistinct].
Okay, guys, welcome to our living room.
When we walked into the space, we saw the huge windows.
The first thing we thought is like,
"Oh, my gosh, our plants like
[ Laughter ] are going to get
so much natural light."
I'd say we have around like 45.
Here, we have a corn plant.
Here, we have a Pilea plant.
and I'm so proud because it's
on its best behavior for you guys.
Also have a fiddle-leaf fig.
It's a baby one.
And then, we also have a ZZ plant.
We have a pothos ivy
and then another one propagating in water.
And then, we have a cactus and air plant.
We also have some photography by Warren.
That's something that you'll see
consistently throughout the house.
I love his work and I really try to find ways
to highlight it throughout the house.
So it's been really nice to set up the space
along with Warren to incorporate the things that we like to see
in each space throughout the room,
and this is definitely one of my favorites.
-So, a lot of our furniture is actually thrifted.
I actually used to live next door to a thrift shop,
so I would pass it a lot of times on my walks for coffee
and I would always stop by and see what they had, you know,
and, if it caught my eye and, I mean,
I was feeling the style, I would just kind of figure out
a way to make it work in my apartment.
And I've just kind of brought it along for the ride
and it's worked well in this new apartment.

-My mom has always been really big
on creating a refuge out of your home,
so, when I was setting up the space,
I really tried to focus on the things that I like the most
and it's this really nice blend of plants
and some of our favorite magazines and books
and just different ways to make it feel
really homey when we're here.
Okay, guys, welcome to our kitchen.
It is an open-concept, as you can see,
and it's really nice, the way it flows
right off of the living room.
As much as I would like to say that all of our plants
get the equal love that they deserve,
the plants over the stove,
I know they're probably not getting enough light
and we just really like having the greenery throughout,
so, unfortunately, sometimes that means you have plants
that aren't in the most ideal location for them.
-Everybody's got their favorites, you know,
and some just don't make the cut.
[ Laughs ] -And some of us don't care
[ Laughter ] when they don't make it.

Alright, so this is our workspace
and this is a really special area for us
because, as opposed to pretty much the rest of the house,
it's the one area where we both said,
"Okay, you have your side, I have my side,"
and it's a way for us to fully express ourselves and our style
without having to consider that other person.
-I'm a really aesthetically driven person,
so I like to be very visually stimulated whenever I'm working.
So, I wanted to play with, you know, some colors over here.
I have a couple of my photographs up here
from when Chelsea and I went to Cuba.
-This is my space. So, when I first set it up,
I kind of like to have a workspace
that reminds me of the things that matter most.
My mom used to always put a little note
in whatever box that she would send me
when I was first moving up here and getting settled.
So, you know, just to keep things in perspective
and remember to stay connected to the people that matter most.
And then, kind of like on the lower part of my desk,
I have plants as well.
I also have a copy of my book
because it's all about affirmations
and, when my day gets crazy, I snatch it so I can,
you know, kind of stay focused and all that.

Hey, guys, welcome to our guest room.
So we set up the space with the intent of creating
like a really welcoming zen space for our guests.
I used to call my room, in my first apartment in New York,
like my little Brooklyn oasis
and I just have a really strong sentimental attachment to it,
so, every apartment I've been in basically recreated it.
The gold fans that I have over my bed
are basically just another way to have a headboard.
I love how they look.
We have guests all the time.
I'm actually an Airbnb host, along with Warren,
and it's just a great way
to help people feel welcome when they're here,
whether it's like friends and family,
or guests that we're hosting for Airbnb,
so it's really cool.
And that's my favorite plant in this room.
It's my curly spider plant and it took about two years
for it to give me any spider plant babies, so,
I'm still kind of melting over the fact
that it finally happened.
Yeah, I love it in here.
We don't spend much time in here, ironically,
but it's still one of my favorite spaces.

Welcome to our bedroom.
When we were setting up the space,
we definitely wanted to create an area
that was a little more chill, a little more low-key,
just because this is where we retreat for the night
and we didn't want a lot going on.
We obviously still have our plants
and we love that aesthetic,
but we've definitely found some other ways
to incorporate more feelings of home
and other sentimental things that we have.
So we put together this photo gallery wall.
When I originally pictured the space,
it was part of the vision that I had for it
and we were on the same team about making it happen,
but the way we wanted to do it was a little different.
Warren's really thorough and like he takes his time.
He had the leveler and he was measuring everything.
It was so cute.
But, yeah, I think it came out really well.
And, most importantly, it's just a nice way to kind of
bring in some of our favorite moments from over the years,
some places that we want to go to,
some places that we've been, and a little bit in between.
And then, the bed is an area that we use
just kind of for like under-bed storage,
so it's got a lot of sneakers.
We just try to find ways to make the house feel really livable.
The closet is actually a walk-in closet,
which we were super excited about.
Warren still has the whole closet in the guest bedroom,
basically, is filled up with his stuff.
-I don't know about the whole closet.
It's like half the closet. -More than half of the closet.
-It's up for debate.
♪♪
-We also had a couple of really great surprises
when we came to visit the house the first time.
Like the bathroom was a double vanity
and we just about fell out
because we had been sharing a sink,
bouncing back and forth between each other's places.
So, all those things, you know,
you feel it and you really, really appreciate it,
just because it's, you know, it kind of makes you feel like
you're transitioning into another stage of life,
so it was just really cool.

We love having this open space,
but we definitely want to update our media center.
It's a huge focal point for the space
and we want to do a little tweak.
-Our current media center feels a little outdated,
especially next to our modern kitchen.
-We wanted a new shelving unit, a new console,
and a new rug to really tie the whole space together.
-We'd like to keep some items out of sight
while displaying others,
like the ball I still have for my first MLS goal.
♪♪
-Alright, I'm really liking what I see.
-We chose the console for the storage,
we chose the shelf for the height,
and we love how the rug brings out
all the colors in our living room.
Now, all we need is a new TV series to binge.
-Thanks for joining us for our sweet digs.
We loved having you guys here, but we got to go.
So, take care.
-Later.
