- Hey guys, what's up.
We had a lot of work lately, which is very fortunate
especially during these times.
But a lot has happened these past two months that distracted us.
So work has been a bit overwhelming for us.
Every time we wanted to film a video at home,
we had to prepare the setup for one to two hours.
Moving the furniture,
making sure the dogs don't drool on anything.
Also sometimes they're pretty loud and make funny sounds
Whenever we have an online meeting, or try to film a video,
it's always a little distracting.
And since our room is pretty dark, as you can see,
we have to make sure to get in as much daylight as possible.
So we have a very small timeframe with somewhat decent lighting.
So our office will allow us to film more bright and friendly videos.
And finally we can draw a bit of a line between private life and work.
I will still film videos at home occasionally,
but with our main working space moved outside the house,
we can finally move our huge working desks,
and all our bulky equipment.
So finally, our home feels a bit less like warehouse.
We've been looking for a suitable space to rent for months now.
And it was pretty hard to find an office with a fitting size.
Most listings were either too small
or way too big and expensive.
Especially where we live in the Frankfurt area the rent is pretty high.
So it's been a very long and tedious search
but we finally found the perfect little office for us,
and we're really excited
and looking forward to decorating it.
And today we're going to pick up the keys.
And of course I'm going to take you with me so let's go!
Ta-dah!
We finally got our keys guys.
This is our office.
Take a look around.
So as you can see, the room is completely empty.
So we got a blank canvas, which we can work with.
I think it's 30 square meters right?
30 square meters. - Thirty five.
- Thirty five.
Yeah. So it's the perfect size for us.
I also really love the shape of it.
Take a look.
As you can see, you got a whole window front here.
So it's flooded with daylight.
Perfect for vlogging.
Also over here you can see the skyline of Frankfurt.
Oh my God.
The zoom is really slow.
Ah, here it is.
It's the only skyline we have here in Germany.
So I'm very proud of that.
Anything you gotta say?
Are you happy?
- I'm happy.
I took a lot of painkillers. - Oh yeah.
- I'm happy.
I want a streaming set up
and a video set up.
I'm gonna be a YouTuber.
- Oh,
I really love the lighting here guys
look at this.
We can take nice pictures here.
Okay now it's time to take some measurements,
and also do some planning with the team
'cause we've got a team now.
Right?
Okay. So we got to do some planning now.
I already did a little planning
and here is what I imagined for this room.
I'm not that great at drawing,
but I will quickly sketch out the room layout I had in mind.
Well in total we have three desks,
for Dong-In, our friend Domi and me.
And here on this wall,
there will be a studio background,
for filming fashion look books
and other videos.
On the other wall we'll put a couch
with a nicely decorated wall and lights in the background.
So it will look really cozy and very soft of course.
Then we also need a bit more equipment
such as lights on this and this spot.
Then we can just film videos in any place around the office.
For planning the decoration of the office,
I'm writing down everything in this workbook I got from my Skillshare class for interior design.
Big thank you to Skillshare for sponsoring this video by the way.
As you guys know from our previous videos,
Skillshare is an online learning community that offers thousands of inspiring classes, for creative and curious people.
And as I told you before, every month I will pick my favorite class on Skillshare
and introduce it to you guys.
This one has been very helpful for me lately.
And it also fits this video really well.
It's Interior Decorate Like a Boss by Rose Sprinkle.
I think of myself as a creative person,
but something about interior design has always been kind of a mystery to me.
And in only about one hour in total this class teaches you how to create your perfect space
in an easy and fun way with simple but very effective tips.
You can put it into practice and try it out right away. What I really liked was that
you get a digital workbook to work with while going through the lessons.
You can just print it out or fill it out on your device.
And as you can see, it also functions as kind of a checklist.
So you can apply everything you learn right away,
and make planning your space a lot easier.
And since interior design is a process that can take a while,
it really helps a lot to write everything down.
So you won't forget what you had planned and any ideas that came into your mind.
So if you're an interior design beginner like me and you want to decorate or redecorate your bedroom, your apartment or your office,
I definitely recommend trying out this class.
The first thousand people who click the link in my description box will get a free trial of the Skillshare premium membership.
And with this membership you can try all the classes Skillshare has to offer for free.
So check it out.
I got my little list with all the essentials
and I'd say, let's go shopping!
So we went to Ikea because first of all, we need some basics like tables and chairs.
So we don't have to sit on the floor anymore and can finally work on the computer.
I'd like to go with bright colors for the office interior,
because I think it just makes the room look bigger and more friendly.
Also, I probably need to replace my computer chair with something more ergonomic,
because when the chair is too comfy,
I get too comfy and I slouch all day long
which is very bad for my back and my neck.
I'd say, let's go and have a look.
We found some tables.
Perfect.
Think we can go back to the office now.
We're back in the office and we got two tables so far.
They're already being put together over here.
Nice work.
So you can see there's still a lot work needed to be done.
Also feel free to leave me your interior design ideas in the comments.
If you want to see how it all comes together in the end,
look forward to my next office vlogs.
I really hope you guys enjoyed this video.
