hey everyone it's morgan yates for today's video we've got an exciting one if you haven't
seen already i just moved into a new house in los angeles it's the start of an exciting new
chapter but also the end of an incredible three years spent in my old place the first place i
ever lived in la right after college and it's a little bittersweet so before we get into all of
the moving festivities first i wanted to take a look back at some of my favorite memories made
in my old house roll the clips hello roomie do we live in l.a hi neighbor and we walk in you
guys saw that and then over here this is also the closet room if you've been around for a while you
may remember when we moved into this house with pretty much nothing but a mattress i think it took
us a good six to eight months to actually have all of our furniture eventually we got it all together
and it became home to halloween parties three years of birthday celebrations multiple christmas
dinners and white elephant gift exchanges failed christmas pranks and successful christmas cards a
place where friends came over to learn tick tock dances and chris harrison came over to celebrate
valentine's day this year while we've spent more time at home than ever this house has turned
into coachella made us feel like we're in greece italy and spain been the step for lots of at-home
instagram photo attempts and even been the gem for taking on all of my chloe teen workout challenges
overall it's been a place of so much love and laughter and time spent with my best friends
and it's the place that's felt like home i'm so excited to move but i don't know why i just keep
getting so sad thinking about like leaving this house but recently i found a new house that i
absolutely love with another incredible living situation this is my first roommate hey other
roommates and within a few days of seeing it for the first time i was signing a lease
making a moving plan trying to get rid of my old stuff and packing up everything i owned
to bring to the new place just like that it was already moving day on to the final moving boxes
the night before the move but before we hop into that thank you to skillshare for sponsoring
today's video we have quite a little echo going on as well pretty empty in here at the moment but i
wanted to give a quick thank you to skillshare for sponsoring today's video if you're unfamiliar with

excited for you guys to see everything let's hop into moving day goodbye play button i mean
i'm taking a bite it's gonna miss adrian's it's been they've been friends for so long
great the movers are here they are flying it seems i've lost some things throughout time
this is crazy so empty so empty i'm already sweating so much i'm just removing like a
few last minute boxes with like food stuff that i wanted to take how are they doing this they're not
even sweating at all and it's like 85 ounces by roommate bye we've been roommates for three years
seriously within three years i'm sad though bye mallory we've been roommates for two years almost
crazy it is 93 today right now we are heading to the house
this house has a built-in espresso maker what first priority was putting away my frozen stuff
and now at the house the echo in this place is crazy right now with nothing in here i'm
so excited i'm not sure if this shows up on camera but if you can see they
had like patched some stuff on the walls from when the house was staged
and that's getting painted over because it doesn't fully match a very late lunch i'm starving
look at how it's coming along progress is being made also a random thing i really like oh well
the automatic lights that's gonna be interesting like when you have to get up and pee in the middle
of the night i love this bathroom we have like the dark wall maddie one of our other roommates
brought like a ton of cute stuff have like some art go up but i just think all the gold i love
all the black doors everything is like a gold accent in this house our wine has made it here
a little ridiculous how much wine i have that moment that you realize that this is morgan's
vlog camera oh my gosh wow wow i can't believe i did that evening light and the palm trees all
right the movers are gone everything is in i have pretty much unloaded most of my kitchen stuff
and this is what everything looks like a couple boxes of stuff in there flies are everywhere just
from the door being open and mosquitoes because we have a pretty big yard here so mosquitoes
apparently are just colonizing all right but i have so many bites already and the movers were
so helpful they like my desk chair has been wobbling for a while they're like oh we can
fix it they screwed it on for me i was like thank you they brought these garment box things to like
hang all my clothes on these rods that way i didn't have to take everything off the hangers
which was really nice and then they hung everything up and i'm gonna rearrange it in
some type of way i don't know so first things first i don't know what first thing should be
not having a bed for three to five weeks oh my gosh i now have a mattress to sleep on tonight
so at least there's that i just want to collapse for forever my back hurts so much i don't know
how these movers do all this stuff every day we love them who are we without them you know so i
have that i actually don't have king bedding yet this is a king mattress my old room is a queen
and so i have like two sheet sets from like separate places on the way but neither are
here yet so tonight i'm just gonna like go without the fitted sheet and just like
layer a couple sheets or something hmm i don't know where to start i feel like i need to start
with everything in these boxes because i want to be able to get to my little patio they did hang
up all the clothes like i said but i obviously i'm gonna go through and like change everything
and organize that but i feel like since that's a little more like out of sight out of mind that
can be our second priority first is just seeing what's in all these boxes and going from there
all right one thing i am so excited about i have had this like bathtub tray thing
that never worked well in my other tub let's see there are a couple other pieces that go
into this and then i'm going to put some cute stuff on it also i want to get like a little
a i want to get like a little shower stool just to like have something that goes there for like
shaving and whatever you know i don't know but i also want to get something little here to like
be able to reach for things from the bathtub you know what i mean i don't know
also this looks like an old-school telephone anyone i've only just begun starting to put
away bathroom stuff but i put a few things out i don't know if this is gonna say i don't want that
white thing here it's too much white going on i'm pointing with a box cutter excuse me and i just
think it looks good with just like a high-low thing on each side some plant component maybe
not that because that's like a wooden base but anyways tbd maybe something even taller than
that gold thing and then since it's a double sink rather than have like hand soap on each one i feel
like that doesn't make sense my little toothbrush holder and soap thing from the last house match
perfectly with this mirror so i thought we would just put that in the middle and i think this looks
pretty good for working with what we got i am also realizing that there are a few
things this house just doesn't have that like all houses have for example like a toilet paper
thing or like a hand towel rod so i feel like maybe when they like repainted and stuff and like
clearly you know over here there was something hanging now you can kind of see that better
on that wall i feel like they just like patched over like every hole and painted over it so
i guess we need to get that do i want to get them in gold or do i want to get them in black
made a little dinner stop that was necessary yeah we're not back from dinner it is literally 8 30
but i'm so tired so this is our day one progress we're gonna pick it up in three two one
i slept terribly this morning light though it's our first full day at the house it's bright and
early shall we how did you sleep we both slept terribly we were texting each other like all night
long i was just like every noise i heard i sleep with this noise machine thing on and so anytime i
would slightly hear like anything i was heightened you know what i mean i was kind of sketched by it
too i also think those sugary drinks i regret i regret two like they were good but one max
but and so eventually after like hours i finally turned off my like white noise thing
so that i because i needed like a good baseline of like what does this house actually sound like
and then finally i fell back asleep around four so i literally slept so bad we were
running out the door to go to home depot to get like the handheld toilet paper things
honestly that just is exactly what i
need okay so they just installed the rod the toilet paper and the hand towel thing
and then i am at work in the closet really something in here update hey i am so cold here's
the progress i've made so far on the closet right now i've just reorganized everything that they
had already hung up kind of by category i'm torn on how i want to do this because i want to have
a full-length mirror i'm going to take out this rod and do a big mirror right here which is how
it was when it was staged and i loved it because i don't there's not really another place for a full
length mirror so i'm thinking of the background of like those mirror photos and i would love to
for it to all be neutrals through here but also i want like everything in here to make sense like i
want to break it up by category so i might just say forget that or maybe i just get rid of my
bright items that i don't wear like this yellow tank that has never been worn but anyways so
right here i have dresses i have like nicer tops and stuff i have tanks and t-shirts it's kind of
broken up how it was in the closet room at the old house we just have sweatshirts sweaters cardigans
jackets really heavy winter jackets i'm probably going to end up consolidating these jackets over
here as well i'm throwing like shoes and stuff back here but i'm not worried about that yet i'm
starting to think about two pairs of socks about like where i want
other things to go in these drawers so we have like a t-shirt drawer it's gonna be like
comfy shorts and activewear shorts joggers i don't know what to put in like this stuff
so now to start opening up all the boxes of closet stuff also i'm gonna get a cute other
hamper i kind of want to get like a double one i found one on amazon it's like two sides and
you open it and there's two compartments you can have like your lights and your
darks i feel like this looks pretty good for all my sports bras guard tanks i've also started
putting in shoes and bags and stuff i don't i'm probably gonna rearrange i don't know what
the best like method of doing all this is in a way that's gonna look balanced because i have a
lot of like sandals and like sneakery shoes too i end up combining all the jackets on this one side
and then i'm gonna probably put a suitcase my big suitcases on each of these sides because
ignore the mess over here i stacked my two carry-on suitcases they fit literally perfectly
and you can't tell thanks to this big old jacket now i'm gonna go downstairs because i need to
switch it up shelby and i got sweet green here is an update we have lots of stuff to take out we're
not gonna have a couch for a while we haven't ordered one yet eventually our tv is gonna go
here we need to measure that we've had a bunch of like random little couchy things that we brought
for the meantime so we have a little impromptu seating area shelby brought her old dining table
even though we're gonna get another one of those although it matches really well we just need new
chairs but it's kind of like worn out this is from my house you might recall loki i like the green
like i wish we had another no i don't we're gonna have a couch facing that way another
little sitting area i'm about to start unpacking these plopping up some decor
all right here's our starting place i put out all the decor here i can't find everything like
we have some like pottery pieces and stuff that i want to put up there so that means
there's somewhere in my room i'm running out the door we've made it to evening and
i'm going to dinner despite the closet progress somehow it's very hard to like
put together an outfit i don't know i'm just nothing feels like home my bed rest in peace
so tomorrow my room has got to get in better condition i sell so many boxes i haven't even
unloaded all my products into these drawers yes please we thought these were gonna be little
to moving day two i'm gonna go ahead and sign off this vlog it's been pretty chaotic i know
this is just a snippet of all there is to do got a general idea of what the house looks like where
we're going with things i can't believe i live here i'm exhausted it's 8 p.m so i'm going to
bed if you want to see what happens from here make sure you head over to my vlog channel where i've
been posting lots of packing videos and we'll be continuing to vlog my moving and decorating
process as i get settled into the new home and i will see all of you guys in my next video
