my nyc apartment tour📍 chelsea

Hi guys, I'm Danielle Carolyn and welcome to my Chelsea apartment. [Music] So, this is a one-bedroom, two bath. Really random, but I love it. It's great for when I have guests over. I was really sold on this apartment, though, when I walked in and saw this kitchen. I mean, this is straight out of my Pinterest board. I feel so grateful every single morning when I wake up that this is my kitchen that I I don't know why I have this thing when I'm touring apartments, the first thing I look at is the kitchen. I don't even cook that much. I just can't explain. I cook, but not as much as you would think for how much I love kitchens. Has some really cool features. I love the wood fluting. I think this is so cool and so different, unlike anything I've ever had or seen. You might be wondering, do you know where all of your appliances? Oh, the dishwasher right here. It's hidden. I love it. Also, over here, the trash can is a pull out situation. So convenient. So nice. I do feel bad, though, cuz whenever I have guests come over, they're like, Dale, where's the trash? There's also a little wine fridge over here that I use mainly for sparkling water and microwave and all that. It's got everything I could possibly need and I feel so grateful. Now, I'm going to show you the living room. Welcome to my living room. Right behind me is this art piece. It's actually two together. I love it so much. I grew up in Florida, so I always like to have little ties of a beach in ways. So, we've got this piece of art from Etsy. I found some really great stuff from Etsy. As you can tell, there's not a lot of color here, so I need to play with texture, you know. Also, over here, it's one of my favorite parts of my apartment, my coffee table, TV combo. This is my first time living somewhere with a frame TV. If you're on the fence, you guys, it is worth it because it's artwork. I change it every week. This is my art that I have right now. I've actually done this one a few times. I really like it. The other day, I had one with a starfish. You know, you can really change it up. If I have people coming over, I can just totally make it that vibe, whatever it is. This console table, I love it. It comes in a couple different colors. It's from the brand Article. It has everything in here, like all of my tech stuff, all of my chargers, like everything. Phones, like phones, all of my phones. You know what I'm trying to have a couple coffee table books. My mom actually got me that one for Christmas. So, I was like, that actually goes perfectly in my apartment. Over here, you guys, this is my first real plant that I've ever had. And she's alive. She is alive. I got her in September, and it's been it's almost a year. We're almost at a year that she's alive. And it's actually a fus tree, which they the haters said I couldn't keep her alive. And let me tell you, she's still alive. Her name was Danielle. So, I was like, I need this. It was the Danielle fus. And I love the black planter. Like I just think, you know, my mom, peaceful Michelle, was like, "You need something to clean the air." I was like, "Okay, I'll get a real plant." This couch, this couch came with me from my last apartment, and it is great. It's the Westm Hampton sofa, I believe. And I love it. I just like to have a place to sprawl. My Lola blanket that I can't live without. It's so soft. Like, I've just I've watched so many TV shows. Cuddled up right here. My coffee table I am pretty proud of. I have to say right here we've got my remote box. My friend Cassidy gave me this idea. So my remote's not an eyesore on the coffee table and I have like hand lotion and stuff, but it just looks like a book. Got it on Amazon. Some candles. I have a little coffee table book as well. I've played tic-tac-toe a couple times. This coffee table was so important to me. Like I needed to have this specific coffee table. And my amazing interior designer, Sierra Balange, she's incredible. She's helped me with all three of my apartments, including this one. I believe she did a reverse image search of this specific coffee table on Pinterest, and found it. It literally came from overseas. It took like over a month to get here, but it's so worth it because I wanted some accents of black cuz all my last apartments have been very white and light wood, and I wanted this apartment to have a little bit more of a mature feel, a little bit darker accent. So, I'm really happy about it. And my rug, all of my rugs are from Rugs USA. So, I believe that is the living room. And now I'll take you guys to the dining room. I feel so fancy for saying that. Welcome to my dining room slashoff slash just everything. Everything happens over here. I've never had such like a big grand table and I've definitely been able to host which has been really special. I knew I wanted a black dining table again cuz I thought it tied in with the black coffee table. So we got this dining table from our house. I love it. It will be coming with me everywhere. These really sick chairs are they're very comfortable. They're from Rove of Concepts actually. And I also wanted to let you guys know I do have an LTK page of it's called apartment on my LTK and it has literally everything from this apartment to shop. So don't you guys worry. So this is the dining table. It's got six chairs which has been like the perfect amount because if anything two people can sit at my kitchen it it works. I've always wanted a credenza. Feels so fancy. So this credenza is from Lulu and Georgia. Again, we have like that darker wood color here. And on this side, I have like my hosting things, you know, when I host every now and then. And then on this side, whenever I have friends come over, they come straight here because this is where I keep my extra PR products that I've received in the mail. So, this is Christmas morning right here. So, if you ever come over, this is that's where you need to go. Up here, there's some fun special little things. Brooke for my birthday/housewarming got me this beautiful Hermes tray. My first Hermes piece. I was so honored. I love it. It's like my little pop of color in this apartment. This beautiful navy. I don't put anything in it. I think it just stands for its own. Another little taste of Florida. I got this starfish. Actually, not even in Florida. I got on Nucket. I just like these little coastal pieces in my New York City apartment. This art piece is also from Etsy, I believe. I think most of my art is from Etsy. over here. This is my storage ladder shelf situation because if you guys remember in my last apartment, there were so many shelves. So, I had so much stuff left over from that apartment from trying to fill those shelves. So, I have all of my coffee table books here. Always love a moss ball. There were some in my living room as well. I collect so many matchboxes from every restaurant that I ever go to. So, I've been slowly collecting those here. This one's fake. Don't tell anybody. And oh my uh YouTube congratulations on 100,000 subscribers because you know it's really special. And then I don't think you get another one until you hit a million. So let's get to a million, guys. Okay. And yeah, this is the dining room/my office area. This is where I set up to to work. And it's very multi-purpose. I love it. And now we're going to go to the bedroom. Welcome to my bedroom. We're actually going to start in one of my favorite parts, which is the closet. This is my walk-in closet. Like, I can't even believe I have this whole walk-in closet of all my clothes. Like, what a dream. I worked with some organizers to really utilize the space because at first it was just this one rod, and they had the idea to add in this whole shelving here. We added all of these shoe racks on the top just because there's so much height with the closet. So, it's like, let's use the height. And we added an extra clothing rod on the bottom for all my pants. So, I really can have like all my clothes in here, which is just so exciting. Like I crazy obsessed. So, come on in. It kind of goes far back. Sometimes I'll record podcast things in here cuz it's kind of my own little like sound booth situation. I feel really cool. We've got like my lighter jackets here, blazers, stuff like that. All of my matching sets and dresses, sweatshirts galore, sweaters. Got some smaller bags here. most of my shoes. I have a lot of shoes by my front door entrance, too. But, you know, it's not perfect. I want it to feel very real for you guys. This feels really like Hannah Montana closet for me to like have my own step stool. I really use it all the time. Like, it has to stay out so I can grab my my shoes up there. And then I've got all of my swimsuits, my coverups here, all of my purses. So, it's really nice while I'm getting dressed. I can be like, "Okay, what bag goes with this?" I tried to color coordinate them. Didn't really work out. I'm a big sunglasses girl. So, I got these racks off of Amazon and I tried to organize them kind of by color. We tried. But yeah, it's really so special. I feel so grateful to have this closet. So, that's right in here. And I have a little mirror right here, too. So, when I'm getting dressed, this is my first time having a king bed. It's really nice. Like, when friends sleep over, my boyfriend's here, it's like you don't even know they're here. It's really cool. Went pretty simple in here. I went back and forth. if I wanted to do lime wash walls. Ultimately decided not to cuz this is a rental. But we had fun with the sides of my bed. I wanted a nightstand that had lots of drawers because I just need extra. When you live in New York City, like you need all the storage. This bed is from West Elm and it also has a ton of storage drawers under here for like extra sweatpants, stuff like that. This is like the statement piece of my bedroom, I would say. This lamp, I believe it's from CB2. It's got like travertine with this really cool lampshade. Like I just think it's the best. Of course, my hatch alarm. Like I can't wake up without it. And the white noise at night. It's been a new thing I've been doing. And then I love Sierra had this idea to do mirrors behind the lamps. And I think it's so cool to see the reflection. I love mirrors. I have a lot of mirrors in my apartment just because I love how it reflects off the light. It just makes the space feel even bigger. And then yes, lots of pillows. You know, got to have all the throw pillows. This brown bedding changed everything for me because when I decided not to do anything above my bed and no lime wash, I was like, I need some sort of contrast in here. And these brown sheets have done the best for me. I think it's the perfect contrast. The last area of storage for my clothes. This is where I have all of my active wear, pajamas, undergarments, the whole 9 yards. This has come with me from every single apartment as well. So, that's really special. It's from the brand Three Kings Lane, I believe. And I recently moved all my perfumes out of my bathroom because a lot of you guys told me that it's not good to keep your perfumes in your bathroom. Who knew? So, I moved them. I got this really pretty travertine tray from Amazon. I like it a lot. And then I have like a couple of my favorite jewelry pieces. My next apartment, I may get a frame TV for my bedroom, too, because that is just so not cute. But then at the same time, when you go to sleep, you're going to turn it off. So, I have to think about it. You guys let me know down below. But TV in my bedroom, which is also semi- new for me. I did it in college and it is kind of nice to be able to watch TV in bed on a on a rainy day, you know. So, now I'm going to show you guys my bathroom, which is my dream bathroom. Welcome to my bathroom. Two sinks. Pretty crazy. It It's really nice when friends are here. Or's here once again and like we're getting ready. It's so nice to have two sinks. I can't believe it. A couple fun things about this bathroom. Heated floors. So, when you're standing in here, like I just get out of the shower, the floors are nice and warm on my feet. It feels so good. I also have that beautiful bathtub that I've taken a couple fabulous baths in. A lot of people think that that's also the shower and they're like, "Where's the shower curtain?" No, I do have a shower over here. It's so luxe. I try, if you guys can't tell, I really like to make my apartment feel like a hotel. Like my Wi-Fi is literally called Hotel Danielle. Um, that's like definitely a common theme throughout. So hopefully you guys feel like you're at a hotel stay right now while you're here. But yeah, lots of great storage in my bathroom on my counters. These also pull out, which is really nice. So, I have like all my skin care. My toothbrush is charging in there. It's really, really nice. I bought this piece of furniture here from Home Depot. And it has just extra product storage. I just always need extra storage as you guys can tell. But yeah, bathroom's great. I love it. I love getting ready in here. And back there, we've got all the admin stuff. You know, we've got my washer dryer, coat closet, a little console table, and then this is my guest bathroom that everything is stored in right now. so it doesn't look like I actually live here. You know the vibes. You get it. Okay, we had to make it pretty. Thanks for visiting Hotel Danielle. Hope you enjoyed your stay. Make sure to rate us five stars. I love you guys so much. I hope you enjoyed this apartment tour. I love living here so so much. And I've enjoyed sharing this journey with you guys. And I will see you guys in my next video. Bye. [Music]
