in this week's vlog we are going to unpack and assemble this
giant stack of furniture it's either going to look amazing like the wall construction
and totally elevate the loft or it's going to be a mismatched mess
welcome back to the channel welcome to another vlog it's been a while since i made a good
old-fashioned new york city vlog and a ton has happened over the past two months so i'm gonna
catch you guys up on just what's been going on in life i've been traveling pretty non-stop filming
episodes of my series luxury listings where i tour some of the craziest houses across america
i was out in colorado filming five episodes those are going live on the channel now so make sure to
go check them out and for the last month or so this huge mountain of furniture has been well
dauntingly sitting here waiting for me to unpack it but i have to say assembling furniture solo
is quite the undertaking a lot of these pieces you definitely need two people
so my mom was actually kind enough to come to the city she hasn't been here in i think since
the pandemic and she actually helped me assemble the majority of this furniture of course as always
theo is sitting there looking cute as can be supervising the furniture construction process
and the majority of this furniture is mid-century modern from this company called
article i've actually furnished i think two two of my past apartments with article i love their
stuff it's minimal it's clean and it's super easy to put together all in all it took us about
two to three hours to assemble all the furniture so mom if you're watching this you're the best i
know you hate coming up and driving in the city so theo and i appreciate you coming up to help
and build the beautiful furniture look at that shelf right there bear shelf i actually have
to get a lot of things because right now it's pretty empty definitely some plants are in order
oh and speaking normally i'm a fan of real plants but i opted for this fake fig tree just because i
will be traveling a lot and this guy won't die on me you can kind of tell he looks fake but at the
same time looks real if you're not really focusing on it so for now it'll work fake fig will work
i am making a full furnished apartment tour coming in the next week or so but in the meantime here's
a quick sneak peek of the pieces there's the table new bench in the corner the shelf actually let me
head on into the bedroom just to show you this not not too much because i want to save some of
the mystery there is the bed california king and i've kept it pretty minimal in here on purpose
you can see behind me this whole wall i left open and that's because i actually have this projector
which i mean you'll see in the tour this room essentially turns into a giant movie theater but
that's just a quick peek i will be doing that full furnish tour in the next week or so also in the
last week i kind of dipped my toes into fatherhood and parenting before everyone goes crazy there's
no baby for me in the near future at least theo for the time being is definitely filling that
department of a creature to take care of but my niece margot came to the city to celebrate her
very first birthday here in the city and i i have to say i've always wanted to start a family but
the idea of having a baby's always been a little daunting and i have to say after caring for margot
over the past week you know changing some diapers watching her just think and process things yeah
definitely in the future baby i mean first i have to find a wife but i'm not getting any younger
starting a family in the near future is definitely something not in the forefront of my mind but
definitely it's it's up there in the mind swimming around somewhere another big update if you're
following me on instagram you saw i just finished a 10 week long fitness transformation i have been
putting in the work i'm talking about every single morning for the past 10 weeks and the results have
been pretty impressive and a huge part of that is diet my diet has been so strict now pre-workout
i'll have a light meal just something with a good amount of protein no sugar just to get me
the energy to get through that workout and then i'll have my huge post-workout meal and actually
for my pre-workout meal a lot of days i'll have cereal i'd like to thank magic spoon the sponsor
of this portion of the video it's the classic cereal that we all had growing up reinvented
it comes in cocoa frosted peanut butter it also comes in fruity but i actually ate the entire
box before filming this video but back to fitness and health the main thing about this cereal is
the nutrition magic spoon cereals have 13 to 14 grams of protein four net grams of carbs and zero
sugar now if you're into fitness you know sugar is the devil sugar is the enemy that might be a
little intense but sugar is not good for you this cereal is also keto friendly it's gluten free it's
soy free grain free low carb and gmo free it's funny i mentioned my niece margot was in town for
the past week or so and margo actually liked magic spoon almost more than i did if you click the link
down below and use the code eric conover you are going to get five dollars off your order and it's
backed with 100 guarantee if you don't like it you can actually send it back and get your money back
which i highly doubt will happen like i said i will go through these remaining three boxes in
the next few days and with that i'm gonna shower get dressed because we are going to an event
tonight
i was shocked at the turnout for this event it was an evening dancing with the stars at my newest
development project skyline tower i actually made a video touring the entire building
about three months ago so if you haven't go on and check out that video it is i mean the
building is the tallest building in queens in long island city it's very very impressive but anyway
we had live music at the event and i would say at least 500 people showed up for this
thing and we held it on the outdoor patio space which is 4 000 square feet right at the foot of
the building overlooking the entire skyline of manhattan it was pretty awesome and it was the
first time in easily over a year where i went out to an event now that everyone's vaccinated
the city's opening back up it was cool to have something that felt and resembled
some type of normalcy just because the past what does it have 14 months
have been anything but normal and i want to thank every single person who came out to the event some
people even drove up from philadelphia just to go to the event so i want to thank everyone for
coming out for meeting me for wanting to take some photos so if there is a future event i'll
post all the information on instagram stories you said it's too big to get in the front door
okay i'll be right down
so that was my super and he said that i have a delivery that is too big to get in the front door
and uh i'm expecting a package i'm expecting some art because you know check the walls out we have
huge open walls here and i linked up with a super talented artist outside of denver
and he's agreed to send some paintings to put my apartment for the time being essentially
as a living gallery so these pieces that we're about to get if you're interested
they are for sale if we can get them inside the apartment so let's head downstairs and uh
see what's going on so the art came in a crate that is just about seven
feet high the pieces themselves are just about six foot so they can't get through the front door
so i'm gonna grab my screwdriver a hammer and disassemble this crate and bring them up by hand
mark if you are watching this i am blown away your work is so beautiful especially
in the space you can really get the scale of these paintings just because this loft is huge
i'm just trying to figure out now where to piece and place everything
i'm gonna probably be resting them along the you know the top of the radiator
or against the walls for now before i can properly hang up these pieces i want to mention that all
these pieces in here are for sale so that information is down below in the description
if you are looking to purchase one of these or have a piece commissioned by mark himself i
hope you enjoyed this quick update vlog if you did give a thumbs up let me know how you're doing down
below in the comment section of this video and with that i will see you in the next new york city
vlog you
