experience
it all begins right
it's nothing like i've ever experienced so welcome back to the channel this is the video that a lot
of people have been waiting for this is the furnished soho loft tour uh it's gonna be a
really raw video kind of like a one taker so with that let's begin the apartment is just about 2
100 square feet it's technically now a two bedroom i actually built the the primary bedroom that
wasn't here when i moved in it has one bathroom and this loft has a ton of history it was built
in 1920 was an old printing factory again if you haven't seen the first tour where i go into all
the finishes and the details definitely check that out i'm going to link it up here and with
that let's get into the tour starting here in the entryway first off i want to give a huge
thank you to article a lot of the furniture in my apartment was gifted by article you can shop
everything in my apartment it's all down below in the description and the first piece we have here
is this awesome brown tuscan bench this is perfect when you come in from the city sit down take off
your shoes this was crafted from solid acacia wood with powder coated steel legs in a modern
square shape so then from the entryway you'll remember last time this is the walk-in closet
it's a little messy still so then we'll head on in here and then this is the utility room uh one
edition i have now i actually have a washer dryer combo so this is made by lg and funny story my
neighbors next door were actually moving out and they were selling their washer and dryer and i
took off their hands for 800 bucks then right here on the floor we have all my home gym equipment two
kettlebells 25 pound weights foam roller and then off to the corner here this has turned into just
yeah i mean this is kind of messy i have to straighten all this up then off to the side
here we have all my clothes shoes things like that most of the time when you see me
in a youtube video wearing a suit all my suits i keep in the closet section here all hung up nicely
then off to the corner here this is some brand work for future partnerships i have just kind
of keep everything in here out of sight leaving the walk-in closet laundry room you can actually
turn off all the lights as we go cut down on electricity but from the entryway now we
enter the open concept soho loft and it looks very different from the last time that we were in here
i'm just going to break it down piece by piece starting with the focal point the center piece
of the loft this beautiful dining room table from article this is an oak table top and it's split by
an open center seam here and it's finished with a wire brush interesting thing about this table this
is actually an extendable table so this whole side here pops on and off and the reason for that is
my hallway is pretty narrow so this is a 12 foot table but it breaks down to be an eight foot table
so hence why this was the only option i wanted to really have a nice you know banquet table to have
dinner parties and things like that speaking of dinner actually we're going to touch on this first
this awesome bookshelf this is also from article it's still pretty barren i have just a few books
a lot of my things are still in storage most likely i'll get some succulents here things like
that just to really fill out the shelf right next to it we have the handy dyson this is the latest
model this is the dyson outsize my dog theo he's actually not here right now he's with my parents
in southern new jersey and it's shedding season so this dyson gets used probably twice a day just
because theo sheds like an absolute beast right next to it we have the stainless steel trash can
and then the kitchen nothing really has changed in the kitchen oversized stainless steel fridge
all the appliances are by ge i actually have plates now these are pretty awesome these are by
fable these are all handmade so they have lots of imperfections i really like that it's kind
of a nice touch again i've already filmed an in-depth tour of this space really breaking
down my thoughts on the space so if you haven't go watch that video this is like the update
just showing the furnishings and speaking of furnishings what else is new here super 73 this
was in the last tour this this is from west elm this is a seven and a half foot brass mirror with
that kind of windowed effect and it has this nice smoked glass giving it that antique feeling then
we have my snake plant then behind the snake plant here we have the wi-fi router and the sono system
hidden away kind of like to keep that out of sight and while we're over here by the internet router
i'd like to give a huge thanks to nordvpn for sponsoring this portion of the video vpn stands
for virtual private network and essentially it's a service that protects your internet connection and
security while you are online it essentially creates this encrypted tunnel for your data
thus protecting your identity by hiding your ip address and in return it allows you to use public
wi-fi hotspots safely that is the perfect place for someone to hack into your device but not with
nord especially given the nature of my business working with very very high net worth individuals
i need to have my internet protected and secure at all times especially when working here from home
and i can trust that it is with nord all in all having a vpn is a very smart thing to do i know a
lot of you out there have your own businesses you work from home if you go to nordvpn.com conniver
or use code conover when you sign up for two years of nordvpn you're gonna get four months for free
if you use that code or go to the website in the description all that information can be found down
below and with that thank you again nordvpn for sponsoring this portion of the video let's get
back to the apartment tour right off of the mirror we have this beautiful 6x6 acrylic on canvas
this piece is called bear and if you remember from my last tour i mentioned that this space is primed
to show off art and i really want to show off some of my favorite artists this is done by an artist
named mark coffey mark is based in denver la new york and he does a lot of abstract paintings right
below it we have another bench this is actually from home depot and i also want to mention that
all the art you see in my apartment every piece is for sale all the information the purchase
mark's artwork is down below in the description so from the dining room we now enter the living
room space and a lot has changed here since the first tour i'm gonna break everything down
again we have another piece of art by mark this one is called moderation this one is also pretty
incredible because uh moderation is a work in progress for me i'm very much so an all or nothing
kind of guy and i love the chaos of this painting right here below moderation this is a womb chair
this is a piece by cardio they have awesome mid-century modern furniture as well
the light above this is from article i love this piece for the simplicity it's a cantilevered lamp
and it's been bent twice on the stem of this lamppost and i love how it just fits over the
womb chair this is like my reading corner so late at night i'll sit here with a nice cup of tea
read a nice book and uh yeah it's really nice moment then right behind me we have another piece
of art by mark this one is called worlds apart again the textures i love the textures the color
this is pretty much a white box space so to have some splashes of color really makes the space feel
alive i wanted to have some carpet and i have this awesome piece from article this is the hera metal
gray rug if you ever get the chance to walk on this thing it is very very cushiony these are all
pieces of wool that have been hand woven together and it really has a lot of texture in it and i
wanted to break up the hardwood floor and have that space that is fully dedicated to the living
room then behind me here we have the fig tree now don't rip me apart but i'm a huge fan of real
plants but because i've been traveling a lot i've opted for the fake fig i think for now it looks
fine but eventually i would like to get a real fig tree then right off the fig tree we have the two
couches these are by cartiel with the ottoman in the center here nice coffee table off to the side
with our art digest magazines some light reading and then of course we have the money tree for some
prosperity so from the living space i did mention in the previous tour that this was an old printing
factory hence why you have these sturdy concrete pillars again go check that video out i have a lot
of history this place in there but again this time this is mainly just an update tour this is the
bathroom off of the main room and again nothing has changed in the bathroom it's just the bathroom
uh it's on the smaller side the only thing about this apartment that i say is a little bit of a
drawback is the bathroom just because there's no soap and tub and i like a good bath so does theo
but off of the bathroom another thing i've actually started bringing my surfboards up into
the city this is my seven foot almeric flyer this is for those like big days i'm on the taller side
and the heavier side so when it does get big i need kind of like a mini gun like this i take this
out quite a bit these days it's nice to have in the city now the biggest change in the apartment
that you'll notice is this wall i made an entire video on the construction of this wall and i think
it really changed the space because before this was one open concept loft it's like 2 100 square
feet of just open space and i really wanted to break this space down and divide it and have a
proper bedroom so i used one day wall this awesome company if you're ever looking for a flex wall
hit up one day wall they are amazing i mean they did this in a day and a half and the thing with
this wall is i wanted to keep all the natural light so i opted for these factory black windows
and i'm so happy with this i think it looks awesome even for the door i wanted to keep the
transparency and really have that modern factory look but now we are into the bedroom and i've kept
this space super minimal front and center we have the california king bed this is the basai
bed frame very minimal it's almost like a floating bed frame this also as well is from article i want
to point this out really quick so right next to the bed this is a nebula cosmos projector
now i'm going to show you this right now just for the sake of it but this room at night i
put on a tripod and this whole far wall here it essentially turns the room into a movie theater
you may have noticed i don't have any tvs in the entire space i'm a huge fan of projectors
so we have the nebula cosmos max projector in here this thing is amazing the sound is super crisp
right off the bed we have one last piece here by mark coffey this piece is called geo it's 6x6 this
is acrylic on canvas and i love just the splash of color eventually i plan on hanging these up
i love the huge column in the center then off to the corner here we have my home office
don't mind the desk it's a little messy this is where i get the majority of my work done
gold play button here i actually found my college degree this was in my parents basement for the
past decade or so and i figured why not like let's hang it up here in the office this desk is from
west elm this is a beautiful white oak desk we have the secondary msi monitor all my camera gear
oh i want to point this out so i'm a big journaler i write a lot and i recently invested in nice pens
take a look at this let's get a close-up this is a german-made fountain pen now the thing for me
is i'm left-handed so it's very tough to write with fountain pens it really makes me take my
time when i'm writing and be more thoughtful but uh yeah this is a beautiful piece right here and
i journal with this almost every single morning desk is pretty cluttered right now but again i
wanted to keep this tour as real as possible this is just a normal work day but then this this is a
piece in the wall street journal they did a whole story on youtubers in real estate and i really
wanted to just capture this because this was a big turning point in the career as far as mainstream
media really accepting this it's a good motivator oh something i want to mention as well this is a
very old building it was built in 1920 so there is no central ac so i have two window units these are
i believe 8 000 or 10 000 btu this is a medea air conditioner this thing actually works really well
uh but we get those days in the city where i mean i'm sweating right now filming this just cause we
don't have them on for the sound and this place space is southwest so the sun does heat it up
you know that just comes with living in the city a lot of people were asking if i really
thought that there was an issue with privacy in the bedroom but i'm the only one who lives here
and when i do have guests over i'm not gonna be really doing anything in the bedroom that
people out there are not gonna be able to see so i like having the transparency that's actually head
upstairs because i didn't mention this but this is actually now a two-bedroom apartment originally it
was just a studio but i made this master bedroom and then if we make our way across the apartment
past the dining room table we actually have the super 73 here i mentioned that we're gonna head
upstairs to the loft where we have bedroom number two so because it is summertime and this is a very
large space it's probably 80 something degrees up here so i don't really come up here anymore in the
summertime but this is the guest bedroom i have a bed frame here from cb2 in this nice light white
oak we have another projector here this one's by lg off to the corner here this is a swivel chair
by cartiel as you can see the loft actually kind of slants down the deeper you go in here
i'm not going to go now but if you remember in the last tour gabe and i climbed back there this space
i don't know what to do with it yet so comment down below what you think i should turn this
into then off into the corner here this couch is by article as well this is the sven couch
and then again this lamp in the corner here this is article as well this is the treo black floor
lamp and again it keeps with that minimal and modern feeling the table in the center here this
is by cardio and i believe the carpet is urban outfitters i'm not quite sure but again everything
is linked down below in the description that's pretty much it for the guest bedroom i might
paint this i still am on the fence about whether i'm going to do that or not but again like i was
saying it gets real hot up here and i'm going to walk down the stairs and just stand in the middle
of the space so you can really see the perspective of the scale of the space because now we have
furniture it looks a bit different but as you can see from the shot it's a big old loft and i really
wanted to keep it open have really minimal modern furniture and these pieces from article really
really do that i'll be updating the apartment as i get more pieces i'll be doing some painting at
some point and again just kind of changing out different pieces all the artwork is for sale
everything's linked down below in the description and again if you are an artist and you're looking
to feature your work let me know let's connect i hope you enjoyed this tour i hope it gave you a
little design new york city inspiration and with that i'll see you in the next new york city vlog
