Hello! This is the long awaited apartment tour
I moved into this apartment about
five months ago and I really wanted to do an apartment tour
but I just really wanted to wait until I was happy with
everything! And I was
really like settled into the space.
there's still like a few things that I wanna change or add
but I'm pretty happy with it now so I thought I'd finally show you guys
an official apartment tour! This is a studio apartment
and it's in the middle of Los Angeles so it's very small and there's just
there's just one room and then a bathroom and a kitchen. That's it,
I'm just gonna be showing you guys like the main area, this area
today and I'm gonna be showing you guys kind of in like sections
because that's how I decorated it, like section by section. So
let's go to the first section! This right here is the walkway
this...
that's the door to the
outside world... hey.
Right here I've got my three favorite hats and there's little hooks right here
so I can just like hang em up or put one on before I'm leaving.
I always carry a hat with me because my hair is actually
insane, so if it looks crazy I could just
hide it under a hat. Right over here I also have
some sunglasses and/or glasses that I might need
if it's a sunny day or I'm doing a lot of editing and my eyes are going to hurt
also got my keys, a little film camera,
and here are a bunch of quarters for when I do laundry.
also chapstick, because you always need it and you don't have it
so why not have it right by the door? I have a little mirror over here that way
I can check myself and make sure I don't look crazy before I leave the door
In the event that I do look crazy I just leave anyways
because I always look crazy and it doesn't really matter. Also I have, like, miscellaneous
memories on this wall, and you'll see that as a
very common theme throughout this apartment. I'm a very, very
nostalgic person so if I see something that I like I just slap it on my wall
that's how I operate, kiddos. Down here I have all my shoes so I can just grab some
stick em on, and get out the door and that's
this handy dandy section, let's go to the next one! [swoosh!]
This, right here, is 'ma desk and if Imma be honest
I don't really use my desk that often. For some reason
every time I sit here and wanna start working on something, I just like
immediately become distracted by something. It's just too quiet,
and there's, like, too many things my brain is doing all the time
so I always need to, like, get out of my apartment if I wanna work.
One of the great things about living in LA is there's like ten million
coffee shops everywhere. So I have my selection of like
twelve different ones
if i need to go work.
This drawer right here is my
electronic junk drawer.
as y'all probably know, I make a lot of videos,
and I'm making a lot of music so I have cords galore,
you need a miscellaneous cord? Come on down to Conan's apartment
I have so many,
I understand that this looks a little disorganized
but trust me it is actually very organized
everything is labelled with pieces of electrical tape
and since I'm always taking them in and out
It's just such a hassle to like make them pretty
and now i always find what I'm looking for very quickly
so if you don't like my organization systems then fight me
in this drawer right here
I have sticky notes and pens and weird stickers and just strange things that
I use sometimes while I'm journalling or writing in my planner for the week
my desk isn't really that organized because
i don't really use it that often
and I don't know if it will ever be organized I'm moving out in like 7 months
probably won't be organized ever,
This last drawer is for all of my school stuff
UCLA stuff, if you don't know I go to UCLA.
School is a thing that I do.
I'm a college student and there's a lot of just like textbooks and notebooks and papers and stuff like that in there
on top of my desk I have all the stuff I need for recording demos
I'm recording an EP right now
which means a lot of my time is spent
recording weird and crappy things for my producer
for him to like decipher whats going on inside of my brain
and over here I have a bunch of pens and paintbrushes and rulers
and stuff that I use when I feel like making art
because I love drawing, I love painting
so all that is there just in case the mood strikes
That's all for my desk
Now for my memory wall!
I'm an extremely sentimental and nostalgic person
so everywhere I live I always feel the need to like completely plaster my walls
in memories, there's posters,
plane tickets, movie stubs, Polaroids,
plants, scissors,
and much, much more
I draw a ton of inspiration from the past and I feel like the past and music go completely hand in hand
because music is this like incredible way of just
perfectly encapsulating a feeling
it's just really good inspiration and always puts me in like a
weird contemplative mood
the memory wall grows and grows as time passes
so its probably going to be a lot larger by the time I move out
and the most painful thing in the world is taking it down
it just breaks my lil' heart
but I love the memory wall and I would suggest everyone have a memory wall
now lets go down to my little
music corner
this is my little musical corner
I have my guitar and my ukulele here
I write all of my music on guitar
and I write a lot of music so
me and my guitar in love
have been married for like 10 years now
right here is my record player
as well as a bunch of my favorite records
it's perfect for like slow mornings
when I really feel like being relaxed
I'll just put it on and dance
It helps me slow down and it really clears my head
I've also got this houseplant and also this dude right here
that one's very large, he's a big boy
I've only killed 1 houseplant in my life
and I have a lot of houseplants, so I think that's a pretty good accomplishment
I would consider myself quite a good gardener
since I live alone, I need a lot of houseplants to keep me company
because I'm always sad
and sadly you can't just drag your friends everywhere you go
so...
houseplants are my solution to having life in my apartment
houseplants are a necessity for every room
it just immediately livens up the space
and I love them so much
they're so cute
I think that the reason why my plants do so well in my room
is because I play a lot of music for them
and it's scientifically proven that plants like listening to music
so that's why I have several in this musical corner
and they really like it here
next up
*crawls onto bed*
my bed
this bed is where I spend most of my time
completely un-ironically it's not like a haha relatable oh my god
it's like genuinely where I spend most of my time in my apartment
I really like doing stuff on my bed and
this is the first time in my life that I've had larger than a twin bed
so I feel like a king
I love writing music in bed and I come up with a lot of ideas while I'm in bed
like right before I'm about to fall asleep
so I have to like roll out and grab my phone
sleepily sing it into my audio notes (ha)
also, I don't have a dining table
'cuz this apartment isn't really that large
so I eat all of my meals on my bed, I watch a lot of movies and tv shows
on this bed
it is my happy place
I have a lot of pillows because I really like pillows
I wanted my bed to look like one of those French hotel room beds
hence the striped blue sheets
and also I sleep in very strange positions all the time
I swear I do like acrobatics when I'm sleeping
anyone who's ever slept in the same bed as me
is like what are you doing?
'cuz I'll be like kicking them
I'm always ready to fight
I always fall asleep like hugging a pillow or with a pillow
on top of me, suffocating me
just 'cuz I don't know, that just feels right to me
also since I'm lonely and nobody likes me
I kinda just like push the pillows around me...
and it kind of feels like there's a human in bed with you
but, really, it's just cotton and fabric
it helps though
plus, I don't have time for love. You think I have time for love? No!
I have other things to do like listen to music and dance around my room
Gee whiz!
anyways, this is my bed
now to my...
relaxation corner
(whispering) this is my little relaxation corner
it's next to my bed, and it's exactly what you think it is
(normal voice) that's too much work
this is my relaxation center
it's right next to my bed, and it has everything I need for a good, relaxing night
I've got lavender oil, nighttime balm, fairy lights, books
I'm a pretty bad sleeper. I always have really bizarre, intense dreams
and I almost always wake up in the middle of the night
so there are just some things I do to help me fall asleep faster
also , there's a plant because... plants!
I'm a little too tall
I'm a just squat for this whole segment
This right here is my photo wall
I've been building it for about 2 years now
since I just moved out from my hometown, I miss it a lot
and so a lot of these photos are from that hometown and that just helps me
when I'm feeling sad and nostalgic
I really like this wall, though, and I like to look back on it
nostalgia is a funny thing
because it makes me happy, but also very, very sad
that is that. I'm tired of squatting. Let's go to this corner!
this is the last corner of my room
it is a beautiful mixture of all of my favorite things in the world
memories, houseplants
books, and music
this giant mirror behind me is perfect for
checking out my outfit
dressing myself in the morning is a process that I really really enjoy
and I like that it takes a lot of time
I'll put on some music and just dance and try stuff on
it's just really fun for me, and even though it takes forever,
I enjoy it, so that's why it's important
I've also got my typewriter right here
It's one of my favorite things in my apartment
I brought it all the way from Texas, even though it's really heavy
it works very well for being very old
and I really like to use it to type letters to my friends,
or when like some random poetic line comes into my head
I'll type it down real fast
and it makes me feel like a writer from the roaring 20s
this whole area is very creative for me
I've got my favorite books here and over here
I have my electric guitar, which I got pretty recently
it is a Fender Stratocaster Squier
and it's beautiful and I love it so much!
I've also got my amplifier and the notebook that I use to write all of my songs in
I love this corner very much; I spend a lot of time in this corner
and that's it y'all!
that was my whole entire apartment tour
maybe one day I'll show y'all the kitchen and the bathroom
but it just seems like a kind of strange, unimportant thing to show y'all
if you've watched any of my other videos,
you know what my kitchen and bathroom look like
I'm sorry this video took ages to finally put out
but I wanted to wait 'til my apartment was like really lived in
if you have any questions regarding where I got some things, feel free to ask it in the comments below
I'll try my best to respond to as many as I can
and thank you so much for watching this video
if it wasn't for you guys watching these, I would have never been able to move to LA
and have this apartment and be able to pursue my dreams
so it really means the whole wide world to me
this was my dream, so thank you so much
I could never express how grateful I am for you guys watching these lil' videos
I'll see you guys in a couple days with a brand new one
God bless and good bye!
