twas the night before moving day it is five o'clock the evening before my moving day tomorrow
shout out to north star movers the best movers in the game in l.a we moved with them last year and
they have made this year's moving process just packing up and everything so easy they brought
like a ton of boxes over if you are subscribed on my vlog channel you may have seen my last
vlog showing a bunch of like my packing process but this kicks off the official moving vlog which
my room is not fully packed up i've gotten most things packed up just kind of like these exterior
decorative items i haven't picked up my bathroom um but all of my like kitchen stuff downstairs
um and like living room under the stairs stuff everything like that is packed up
and most of my closet so i think we are on track to finish this up um i've just been
working away all day it honestly doesn't feel real that i'm moving tomorrow i've been like
looking forward to this and honestly like counting down to this for so long if you know you know but
now it's like the day before and i've just been so busy this week i feel like i haven't really like
soaked in like the reality that these are like this is my last day here and like i
don't have time i feel like to like soak it up and appreciate it like i want to it's just i feel like
it's gonna be so weird tomorrow and honestly doesn't feel like this is happening tomorrow
but this is like the last night i'm gonna sleep in this room so it's like a little sad i'm trying
not to even like be sad or sentimental about it because like i am so excited for the future but
like i do just want to like soak up those last moments and i mean i still have the key to this
house until october 1st welcome to the moving vlog this is the first video you've seen mine i would
love if you would subscribe and turn on those post notifications and following this video over on my
vlog channel lots more like moving and decorating videos are going to be going up of me getting
settled into my new place so you know i feel like before we really move i've i've just been so many
good moments in this house it really have been like this has been just like the best hosting
house like just so many great parties and just really memorable things for me i feel like some
of my happiest moments in l.a have actually happened in this house and i'm just really
i mean this is just such a great space i mean i really just feel fulfilled getting creative like
hosting things a lot of you guys have probably followed along but i feel like it would be fitting
to roll a little montage to just look back at some of these moments before we move out so cute clips
we're moving this is my first roommate wow
we're really doing it
all right candles are lit yeah
oh my
you don't god how to do it
yes
so
getting in some last-minute laundry so that everything is ready to go all right here's what
we're working with right now lots of boxes out here this is a bunch of my like um closet stuff
cannot remember to take down that mirror most stuff is out of this dresser i still need to take
stuff out of the nightstand all the clothes that are still hanging are just going to go
right off of the rod and onto like a wardrobe box it just makes it easy like packing up and
then putting it in my new closet i need to unplug my fridge that i have in the bathroom so that
that can kind of like melt out because it gets so cold there's like some ice in it
and then the downstairs overview things are looking wild down here one of my roommates is
also packing up um to move out i think this weekend as well so not all this is my boxes
um like all this stuff out here is hers but i'm going to be taking um the dining table and chairs
are mine this little piece of furniture i think i have most stuff out of under the closet except for
my christmas tree i packed up all of my glassware and stuff that was in here and everything else in
here is just alcohol that i need to pack up um i'm probably gonna carry over myself my coffee table
these are all of my boxes of like some holiday not those ottomans aren't mine
but um this is all my like decorative stuff and kitchen stuff from down here
so at some point tomorrow probably all the movers are packing stuff up i will pack up all of my food
to like take over my own car bring these shelves with me bringing this little
coffee table thing with me this rug we're making good progress i'm gonna miss this kitchen
but my new kitchen's pretty cute too i would say one of the my favorite things about this house was
our little sitting room here they're like later in the day the wit the the wind the light just comes
through and it just looks so pretty with this like little green tree that was in our front yard hmm
the one thing i'm not done with yet is the bathroom the movers are here there's my movers
all right my car i'm blasting the ac these poor guys i mean i know this is their job but i just
feel so bad um it took like two hours for them to pack up all my stuff i've loaded my car down
with like some fragile stuff that i just didn't want to take the time to like protectively pack
or whatever um and like through my food in here it's probably gonna melt by the time i get over
there but i'm heading to the house i'm so excited this little day literally doesn't feel real like
i don't know what i think i'm doing right now but i feel like last year on move-in day it was like
i felt like it was moving day and today i feel like i'm it doesn't feel real that
i'm not going back to sleep at that house and then i have a new house you know what i mean
i don't know i don't know maybe it's just cause i've been so busy but i'm so excited
all right the movers just left i am exhausted i literally can't even show myself i've looked
i look arguably the worst i've looked in a really long time oh sun is really coming in
so it's a little hard to tell i'll have lots more footage tomorrow i'm probably
just going to relax the rest of the night i don't even think i'm really going to unpack um but yeah
the lighting makes it a little difficult to see lots to unpack but i am exhausted so i think
i'm going to sign it off for today this is what we're working with we'll pick this up tomorrow
happy monday i did not vlog anything yesterday which was sunday um i did very minimal unpacking
yesterday as well i kind of just like took the day to literally chill on the couch and like minorly
unpack so you really miss nothing there that was just me like digging through things to find like
my like deodorant and things like that so it's the first full week day in the new house yesterday
i went to trader joe's um stocked up on so much stuff that grocery bill was a lot just like stuff
for the week as well as just like staples and like sauces and things that like things that i normally
like to have on hands i picked up these flowers i thought they were so cute hit up target last
night i bought a ton of cleaning stuff i'm still trying to figure out places for like everything
basically i did unpack um just to get rid of like some boxes to have some walkway space through here
i've unpacked like all of my kitchen stuff but like not in any kind of order actually that's
probably one of the more organized drawers i just like put things away like that's not gonna i want
to have a cool spice drawer things aren't staying in the condition they're at right now like my food
under here literally just like wedged under here i want to get like organizational bins and stuff
and like categorize things i was worried i wasn't gonna have room for all six dining chairs that was
gonna be too tight and i might just like keep two under the stairs or something um but really
there's plenty of room like we have plenty of room on this side plenty of room on this side something
i'm going to keep all six out which is nice this is not staying in the center of the table
lots of stuff to unpack the majority of boxes have moved upstairs and then here's my dilemma of the
moment let me know what you think um first of all i've just had to accept that this tv so it's like
off the wall right now an angle because it was angled towards the tv i was watching tv last night
um so unless it's like straight up against the wall like if i leave it out it looks as
though this is not even with the wall like it looks crooked and not centered
but really it's because it's like this far out from the wall right now um so in order for that to
look right i have to be diligent about sticking it back up against the wall but i really just don't
care that much so all that to say i just wanted to mention that so that everyone knows this tv is in
fact like centered with the wall and not crooked even if it doesn't appear that way i was also just
reading through the comments on my empty house tour video which was my last video that went up
um about i know i had mentioned that video like wanting to paint some of the silver accents and
railings and stuff like paint those a matte black at one point i didn't say this in that video but
a big part of me thought i was actually gonna paint the doors black and like switch out all
of the hardware i'm gonna switch all of that to gold i was basically gonna copy like my old house
i love how it looked there so that was gonna be the door and then all the like bathroom accidents
were gonna be either like a matte black or like dark brass matte situation again just trying to
copy my old house because i think it looked so cute and all of my stuff matched perfectly
however i ended up leaving it and i kind of like it mainly because i feel like these dining chairs
are such a focal point here in my last place like downstairs me and my roommates just kind of like
threw a bunch of furniture together that we all had and it all like matched pretty well
but like things in that house i would say we're definitely a little bit like warmer toned with all
the gold and so these seats are like a gray but they're almost like a blue they look kind of like
blue gray velvety i actually like how well those match the cabinets how it kind of
like brings out that shade so therefore it also matches the doors and glad i didn't touch those
hello wine but even like this glass on the coffee table looks a little blue so what i am getting to
with all of that is that um a lot of things i had in my last place that i was planning to use here
had like the black accents or like or more like warm tones things like this i'm thinking you know
maybe that can work in my bedroom still even with the doors being like that gray color because like
my bedroom set and bedding and pillows and everything and like the gold mirror in there
everything in there is very warm toned i'll show you in a second i'm starting to think
things like i guess just mainly this big print that was like such a focal point of my bedroom
that i really wanted to use again it's just not matching in here do we agree like i feel like i
would love to get a print that's the same size to go here i feel like i almost need something that
has like some blues or just like or just maybe not black and maybe not like the yellowy tan
color even though it's like it's not that far off from the cabinets but do you guys know what i mean
like something about it just like isn't matching and i have so many things that are like this
um style or like these colors like this face and like pompous grass stuff that used to go
in my room like i just feel like the black doesn't match so let me know your thoughts
another dilemma i'm having is regarding i love obviously this is not how this is being styled
i love this piece of furniture i've had it from my last two places i've lived in la i normally keep
just like drink supplies alcohol stuff like that in here i love how like just seamlessly this like
matches like i feel like it's the perfect color matches the wall kind of just like
you don't really see it like once this stuff's off of it if you recall from the empty house store i
talked a lot about my tv dilemma which at this point you've already seen what i did about if i
was gonna put a smaller one here or like go for a bigger one over on this side so previously my plan
was if i had a tv there's gonna have a full-length mirror right here and that was going to cover
like these outlets but now of course nothing's down here so i'm wondering do i move this
over there to like how cause i'm gonna have to get something to block like those cords and the
outlets and things like that or do i just want to get like plants or something more decorative like
was that gonna look stupid but is it gonna look stupid having a shelving unit right beside this
other shelving unit when they don't match or like what if the height isn't exactly the same i don't
know um and if i did move that i still want to get like something here maybe like it doesn't have
to be as um storage focused it could be more of like a cute decorative table that's like a little
long just some kind of like entryway table thing let me know what you think i do need to get bar
stools still i was kind of having a dilemma about that because the ones i wanted are like a wood
um top with like matte black legs but now i'm like is the black gonna match like we don't really have
anything black except for like mysteriously this counter is like almost black and then
in here i need to move this fan these cabinets are like a super dark gray that's black like
what also part of me who doesn't care about my security deposit wants to like paint some wall
in here like a really dark color because i loved it my last place how our half bath there had like
a really pretty dark wall i also was dying at some comment when you guys left that said like
tell me a man design this place without telling me amanda designs this place because literally yes
like getting into the shower you have like the glass door open and so one would think like my
last place you know the shower drawer opens there is the faucet to turn on so you don't have to like
get all the way in the shower and reach out on the far side to like stand in the water as you turn it
on because the door is located farthest away from the shower head and you know what i mean um that's
not the case here here you have to the like shower head is the opposite side of the shower door so
you have to like make a run for it or like tilt it away every time you want to get in the shower
lots of questionable design things i don't own this house i don't care that is one like
really nice thing about like moving around and renting a bunch of different places is
learning the things that you like and don't like and like things to actually pay attention to
in future houses like when you go to like buy or even just like rent in the future so now i know
no we live and we learn my last place we moved in it didn't have blinds we spent a lot of money
custom fitting blinds to like all of our windows every time i toured a place this time around if it
didn't have blinds it was a no cause i know how expensive that is yeah i really need to do some
unpacking because i don't know where my razor is don't know where my face wash is we're just
living without a few things right now there's a little fridge overview we got beverages coffee
things um i have like random dips and eggs i need to watch videos i'm really excited this
is something i want to do today it's like look up fridge organization tips and videos because
right now just kind of group things by category but i'm excited to really go all out with this
upstairs update this is what that's what my bedroom is looking like i think the light is
just so pretty at this hour um i'm working with a few different of these mirrors i'm trying to
figure out where to put contemplative one there right now here's good the unpacks nothing into the
bathrooms and i threw in like my clothes just into the tour or the closets here just kind of based on
category my old place but i don't really know where i actually want to put everything there's
closet space in the other bedroom slash office room as well as this closet currently has nothing
in it this closet i put like one thing in and then over here there's lots to unpack here but
um you recognize these are the bookshelves from my last place i have my mini fridge from the
bathroom probably gonna put that in that corner so you're not really seeing it unless you're like in
the room in the room my dresser and tv all right moving on to like bathroom unpacking you should
turn the light on in here so i have two bathroom well three technically i have the half bath
downstairs then i have this bathroom upstairs and then a whole other one that has two sinks as well
so i'm thinking since this one is off of the bedroom i'm gonna put like my
more commonly used things in here and then like cleaning supplies random like lesser used things
under the other one um second bedroom is currently just a disaster so we'll ignore
that same for this bathroom i think there is a little bit more storage in this one maybe not
all right bathroom is now cleaned out need some feedback these are my like toothbrush and soap
things i brought over from the last house that i love they're like this nice heavy stoneware stuff
but they are gold um and as i've talked about most things are silver so i picked up these that are
also like a similar vibe like they're like a heavy little my camera die but these are similar they're
just like a heavy stone um so what do you think let me know if you like better also my towels that
are a like kind of discolored so i could stand to get some more anyway but they're like a warm tone
that would match this better um but then it's like what color towels do i get to go with this
because the bathroom is all like dark grays and whatever these are the updates obviously
the shelves have not been styled but i have put some things on them just get it out of the way
saw some more stuff to figure out where to put it but i think i'm gonna wrap up this vlog for now
also i did take the rug out of this room it was this like faux fur thing that i had at my last
place um that once upon a time was pretty close to white and now is like a very dingy not white color
so i might get a different rug in here i need to get some plants i liked how my last place these
shelves were styled with like plants coming off of them also putting things up in my closet trying to
figure out how best to style that these bins from the top of my last closet fit really well up there
um but everything else at the moment is kind of just like being put somewhere before i figure out
the best system and that is it for this vlog i forgot to film an outro a few days ago but
really excited to be living here for like this new chapter thank you guys so much for following along
if you want to see it more like decorating updates there's literally so much more to come and like
so much to do and that'll be happening mostly over my vlog channel but i'm going to do a home decor
haul and probably like some amazon home favorites and things like that still on this channel so
