Welcome to my apartment. Today I want to
walk you through my living room and
dining room and show you how we keep
things simple and intentional. Upon
entering the apartment the first room
you're actually in, is the living room.
However behind the front door is our
laundry room. In this space we store our
coats and shoes for the day. We also have
three lockers and three baskets on the
shelf above that house things such as
Christmas decor, cleaning and plant
supplies, tools and in air mattress when
we have friends or family over. Bed linen
as well as hats, scarves and gloves.
When you walk into the living room the
first thing you notice is our large
balcony window which brings in tons of
natural light, however the true focal
point of this space would definitely be
our large semi deep sofa from Article.
Not only is this couch beautiful in both
color and design but it's extremely
comfortable and for someone like me who
is 6 feet tall, it is large enough for me
to lounge out or even nap without
feeling cramped or like I'm going to
fall off. Directly across from the couch
is our TV and console. Other than writing
running and working out we do enjoy
watching a great movie from time to time
or some of our favorite content creators.
The console itself is from Ikea and we
chose to keep things simple by placing a
candle on top. Inside we store our
blankets, movies, books and journals. The
latter is where I tend to gravitate
towards the most as this is where I keep
my writings and ideas that aren't stored
on my phone.
In the corner we have the first of a few
plants that are spread throughout the
apartment. This one here is a
Ficus Elastica, also known as a rubber plant.
Next we have our dining room which also
doubles as a creative workspace. Here
you'll find me most nights writing or
editing videos. Our table is walnut with
mid-century style legs.
We chose all-black chairs to create a
visual break between the wood table and
the wood floor. Both of these pieces are
from article which is an online
furniture brand that offers affordable
high quality pieces. At first we were a
little nervous about purchasing
furniture online however after buying
and falling in love with our couch we
knew that we wanted more items from this
company that would fit in our small
space. Next to the table we have two
counter height stools, also from Article, that are perfect for morning tea or
coffee or eating a quick breakfast
during a work week.
You'll notice that these stools have the
same walnut finish and legs as the table.
As well as the same fabric as the couch.
We purposely kept these the same as we
wanted to minimize the number of
textures we used and keep both of these
rooms and the rest of the apartment
filling like one. On the counter we have
our vine plants that seems to grow every
time I blink and on the other side of
the dining room we have one art piece
and a small vase with some artificial
eucalyptus. I'll leave links to
everything that I have in a description
box below and if you're looking for
furniture I definitely recommend
checking out article.com like I said
they have affordable high quality pieces
and their take on furniture is
definitely timeless. They offer free
shipping on all orders over $999 as well as flat
rate shipping for anything under that. And not to mention they also offer a 30
day satisfaction guarantee. So if you're
not happy they will come to your house,
pick up the furniture and give you a
refund. I hope you enjoyed this video and
seeing my simple and intentional living and
dining room. Keep growing on your journey
and always stay true to you. Peace!
