Hey everyone, in this video I’ll give you a full tour of my apartment.
Of course this is a plant channel, so I’ll be focusing on my plants and showing them
to you in the context of my home.
So welcome to my apartment.
There’s a small hall when you walk in the front door.
Straight ahead is the living room and kitchen, and on the right there are some stairs to
take you upstairs into the bedroom.
The hall is very narrow, so there's no space for a small table to put keys or anything
like that on it, so we just got these hooks that stick on the wall to hang our keys.
There’s also no closet here, so again we stuck some hooks on the wall for our coats.
Before the living room and kitchen area, we have the bathroom here.
I have to turn on the light because there’s no window or natural light in here at all.
So it’s pitch black in here without the light on, and that is also why I don’t keep
any plants in here.
I mean, a ZZ or snake plant might be able to survive in here, but I never got around
to getting one.
Anyways, it’s a small but very modern bathroom.
Now let’s me show you the living room and kitchen.
It’s a small open concept space that we mostly use as an office.
On the left is my boyfriend’s desk, and my desk is on the right next to the plants.
Then we have the kitchen area.
It’s very modern, and most appliances are hidden.
The fridge is hidden behind here.
And so are the freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine.
There’s also a lot of storage space.
I do wish the ceiling was slightly higher so that I can put some plants above the shelves.
But right now, the gap is just not big enough, so we don’t put anything there.
Also this area is quite far back from the window, so it doesn’t get much natural light
anyway.
Then I have a good old golden pothos here.
Some string lights which we prefer over the other lights because it just makes the room
so much cozier.
We have this little kitchen island on wheels that makes it easy to store and grab seasonings
and snacks.
Then I have my desk and this gaming chair.
And no I don’t really game, at least not any more because it hurts my wrist, even with
this vertical mouse.
My boyfriend’s desk is a foldable one, so when we have people over for dinner, we can
pull it out to double its size.
Anyways, back to my desk area, I have my computer and monitor.
I got this stand to prop my laptop up, but it’s still not high enough, so I just have
some random holders underneath to prop it up even higher.
And my favorite mug, it’s from my friend Jennifer.
Hi Jennifer if you are watching.
A couple of other things that are always out on my desk are my kindle and my headphones.
I use them on a daily basis.
Then I have my plants.
And neem oil here nearby so I can easily grab it when I need to use it.
When I film most of my videos, I would move all these plants off the window sill.
So that’s where I would film and that's how I get the white background that you see
in most of my videos.
And then I have a shelf to put more plants on.
It’s very cloudy today but when the sun is out, this area is very bright because this
is a southeast facing window.
Also that’s the laundry hamper.
Now let’s check out upstairs.
We’ve got my boyfriend’s piano, the bed, and the plants.
There’s no build in closet, and frankly the slanted ceiling made it difficult for
us to get a closet, so again we opted for sticking some hooks on the wall to hang clothes.
And of course there’s that one chair that everyone piles clothes on.
This is ours.
We use bins for most our clothes and we put them underneath the bed.
Then there’s the keyboard.
It’s my boyfriend’s.
I don’t play it, but I do use the mic here to do all my voice overs, so that’s very
convenient for me.
I don’t keep many plants here because my boyfriend has to keep this window covered
when he uses the piano, I forgot why.
But yea that’s why I only have this one plant here on this side of the room
Then there’s the bed in the center of the room.
We each have one weighted blanket.
It’s the best thing ever.
We usually have the curtain down for this round window, because the neighbours can easily
see the inside of this room through it and vice versa.
So usually this is the only window that we don't keep covered during the day.
And that’s why most of the plants in this room are on this side.
The slanted ceiling makes it difficult to use this space that’s why it’s pretty
much empty.
Also the view outside the window is really nice.
And there you have it.
We moved in here in the fall of 2020, back when the world was still largely shut down.
So we definitely prioritised having work and office space and things like that over, um,
a couch and a closet.
We’re actually moving into another apartment soon, and our new place will have a couch
and not 1, not 2, but 3 built-in closets, and perhaps even a cat or two.
Anyways, I'll tell you more about the move in the next video.
Bye!
