居家美學 平面設計師的公寓之旅 | 版畫、植物、有趣的人

音樂 Hello, I'm Elliot. I'm a Sydney based graphic designer and this is my one bedroom apartment. How about I show you around? Give you a tour of the place. Does that sound good? I can't hear you. I'm really sorry. This video is sponsored by Stills. More on that later. So we start with this little hallway here, which I don't really do much with. You can tell, just ignore a lot of this. This is just like, you know, I think everyone has like general space where you just put things. We've got the kitchen here. Very standard kitchen. We've got a rice cooker, which is a very, very good. I enjoy that a lot. Other stuff. The kitchen is pretty basic as well. It's a kitchen. What can I say? The biggest thing about this entryway is that you'll notice I have, apart from, you know, the rest of the apartment. We'll get to all this. You've already seen all this stuff. But what you don't see is this little, this here. This is a coat hanger that I got from, or coat rack rather, from Ikea. I thought the color was really nice. And I was like, you know what? I reckon I could get a good use out of a coat rack. And then the main reason is I wanted to put a bunch of my tote bags. As you can see, I've got a lot of tote bags. And this plan absolutely backfired. I think this looks awful. Genuinely hate this so much. It just looks ridiculous now. But that being said, I think these are some nice tote bags. This is my favorite one. This is my Fisk tote bag. It has a zipper at the top and a little front pocket on the inside. Every tote bag should have a zipper. I'm a big believer in that. This is one that I got from a Jumbo Press Kickstarter, which has this beautiful little design on each side, which I love walking around town with. I really do love walking around with it. And this one here, actually, I was given by my friend's After Hours Studio. Go check them out. They're absolutely unbelievably talented pair of designers. And they gave this to me when we were both in New York at the same time, which was very sweet. And also, don't forget, guys, when the mullet is growing, you got to wear your bloody headband when playing a social netball. Am I right? Do you like it when I turn my head towards the camera? This is a one-bedroom apartment. So this is the main living area. And then we've got a hallway down here that leads to the bathroom and the bedroom over there, which we'll get to. I'd like to call this a set, you know. So I put a lot of time and effort into and money, of course, into making this look very nice for all of you lovely people to look at when I'm filming my YouTube videos. So we'll start with this little dining room here. We have just a little circular table, which is always sweet for these small apartments. And these alternating colored chairs, which I think is quite cute. Nice little touch from me. I really like these coasters. They've got these little different colored circles in between them. A lot of fun. I always make sure to bring them out when people have a... This is my Tide pen that I bought recently so I can get rid of stains whenever I am out and about. Because I... Let me tell you guys, whenever I go to an Italian restaurant, whenever I go to an Italian restaurant, I, for some reason, wear a white T-shirt. A little key, a key. Look at this little, look at this little key chain from Carla Draws. Isn't that the sweetest bloody thing that you've ever seen? And this is my little key bowl from Mason Balzac. The one and only... That's Balzac with a Z. If you know the brand, you know it. If you don't, I sound a bit silly, don't I? That's where I ate, okay? I ate and I'd scroll my phone. This is a pretty new addition to the apartment. This blue shelving here. It used to actually be this. This was my old TV stand. And then I was like, put the TV on legs. And now I have had an empty space here. So I put that TV thing over here. And then I got rid of it and put it here because I wanted a bit of elevation. Because I have this beautiful print here by my friend Raya Dank, aka Narderno on Instagram. Go check her out. She is an unbelievably talented artist. And I had been meaning to get a print from her for years. Because we've been mutuals on Instagram for ages. And I was like, I want to buy the biggest print she can offer. And I kind of did. I think she actually sells bigger ones than this. But this one is like an A0, I'm pretty sure. It's absolutely huge. And when I bought it, I was like, I reckon I can put that up on the wall with command strips. And I don't think that I could. I'm pretty sure that like... I think if you've got like three sets, maybe three pairs on each side, you could put it up. But it's a rental. I don't want to risk it. We've got enough command strips going onto the gallery wall. So I just thought I'd get something else to give it a bit more elevation. And I think it worked out pretty well. So this is just some blue shelving from IKEA. We have the first signs of some plant life. This is a paisley. This is the first ever plant that I got. It's been to hell and back, let me tell you. It's been moved around all over the city. And it somehow survived and is still alive and kind of growing still. It's a cool little lighter that I got from Japan because I thought it was really cute. These are some eyes here that I was given by fellow YouTuber Ben Marriott. We've got a collab video coming soon, if not out already. And he made these and he gave me them. Isn't that so sweet? We've got a little candle here that everyone thinks is a glass of milk. That's pretty funny. Pretty funny how you guys think that. So I fetched my favorite Pokemon. I got this in a little gacha machine, of course, in Japan. There's so many little gacha things around. We've got some stickers here from Carla Draws. Carla is incredible. There's a bunch of Carla Draws stuff in this place. I've been getting into cooking recently because I think it's an important skill. And I want to get really good at cooking. So I bought a bunch of cookbooks. And they're kind of like three different difficulties, I would say. We've got easy, medium and hard. I haven't even tried Matty Madsen's one. But the cover is absolutely beautiful. I think they just look really good here as well. How good is the Molly Baz cover? Unbelievable. And that's my mouse for some reason. This is where I keep my Fisk mousepads. I have three Fisk mousepads. Two I've bought. One was gifted to me. They very kindly sent me this one here. It's a collaboration between Fisk and Ghostly. I love it. I've kept the box. The box is so clean as well. And this is where I keep my little SD cards when I'm traveling because I like to film things on this camera. This is a clock that I was gifted. Sent to my PO box, would you believe? By TDF, the Designer's Foundry. A very cool studio. They've sent me a few things before which was very generous of them to send this clock my way. I thought it was quite aesthetic. And it looks pretty nice here. Next to my Nodota print. So I'm pretty happy about that. Going down, we have my Casetify collection that I keep here because none of them fit my phone, would you believe? And yeah, I don't know. This is just to fill space. I don't actually like displaying them that much. But they're pretty cool. Got a little Nintendo 2DS that is definitely not absolutely jailbroken and has every single game on it. Definitely not the case. And a little journal that I bought in Japan and I wrote one thing in it. Journaling. Maybe this is the year we start journaling, everyone. Who knows? I'd always wanted to get a copy of Popeye. This is Popeye magazine. The magazine for city boys. And this edition specifically focuses on interior design in people's apartments. So I thought it was just perfect for the space. We've got a print over here saying Blow up Rio Tinto. That is of course the mining giant Rio Tinto, not the city. And that's a fun little print that I need to find room to put up. And another print of mine behind there too that I haven't put up yet. And then down here we've got some more stuff. We've got some Lego. We've got some Lego Nintendo stuff from Japan. These are two of Brawley Amato's poster books that I haven't unwrapped yet because I'm keeping them in mint condition because I'm just such a big fan. And then other things. Just an old camera and headphones just to fill the space, you know. You buy a big thing like this and you're like, Oh, I actually have to fill the space. Otherwise it looks silly, you know. OK. This is my ringer date calendar too that as you can tell, it says the 31st of December. It is absolutely not the 31st of December. I really tried to like make a good effort at putting the new date on every day. You miss one day and suddenly the habit dies and you go, Oh, well, it looks cool just there anyway. So I really like it. The yellow is nice. I wish I could hang it up, but you know, I don't know, rental. Gotta be a bit scared of doing things. I got this Monstera like I think two and a half years ago and it is absolutely thrived in wherever I've been. I love this plant so much. This is a brand new leaf. Can you believe it just unfurled? Isn't that beautiful? Look how green that is. We got this cool little orange support beam in there as well. That's keeping it from absolutely toppling over because let me tell you, it's a bit out of control, this Monstera. They are, they grow. They grow really fast. I can't remember the name of this plant, but I've had this one for a little while now and this one has grown like double the size in about a year, I think. Beautiful plant. I'm pretty sure it might have like not spider mites. It has some kind of pest, but it doesn't seem to affect it too much. I try and get rid of the pest. Got a lot of pests to talk about, but it's doing okay. I love this plant a lot. And then tucked away down here underneath this Monstera, actually, if you get rid of these leaves, we have some little secret little spots here. First up, we got a tiny little miffy there that I got in a little gacha machine. A few other things from some gachas behind this beautiful sun jewelry container that I got from a store called Hands. If you're in Newtown ever and you see the Hands store, go out of your way to go into the Hands store. You'll leave with something. Let me tell you, what a beautiful store. This is one of the latest additions to the place. This is a little clock here from Nicholas Baker from his little object studio called Almost Object. And it's essentially like this elastic-y band that you can strap around anything. And I saw this white pot and I was like, that would look perfect on the pot. And it did. I think it's an absolutely perfect position. However, I think it's out of batteries. Ran out of batteries very quickly. So it's either the batteries or I broke it. And I'm leaning towards the latter. This is a print that I've got leaning against the couch here. This is a Dzingy B print that I got ages ago. And it's on a very thin black frame. It used to actually be up on the wall where that blueprint is. But it fell once because I put command strips on that frame and it was like a third of the command strip, like a quarter of the command strip was on the actual frame. So it was a matter of time before it fell and it did fall. But it survived the crash. So now I just lean it here. And I think it actually looks quite good leaning there. This is my star logo that you might see on my channel. A friend made this rug for me, handmade, very cool. I've got a few of my stars around the place that you'll see. And all of the stars, have you ever seen this star? It's been gifted to me, which is very sweet. I've never gone out of my way and made it myself. People are just so nice. People are nice and thoughtful. And then the plant is sitting on, I believe this is called the Combinibili, which is an old Italian design, a little piece of furniture here. And I had always wanted one. And I got it in this nice little cream color that I think fits the space very well. Yeah,it's pretty good. If we quickly turn away from this little section over here, before we get to the couch and the lounge area, there's actually a little fridge here that I keep some cool things on. So I've received a few prints that are too big to be a sticker and they're too small to be up on the wall. So I was like, where do I put them? And then I decided to put them on the fridge. And they're all kind of up here on the fridge with these little Mario magnets. We've got some prints from Jumbo Press. That one's Jumbo Press, Jumbo Press, Jumbo Press. Jumbo Press, they all come. Whenever I buy something from Jumbo Press, I get a bunch of little Rizzo's included, which is very sweet of them. This one is from Yak Fun, who very generously included this one when I bought a tote bag from them. These are from a friend, Valerie Nelson on Instagram. Absolutely insanely talented illustrator and designer. This one here says, Wellyit, which is very sweet too. Can highly recommend checking out Valerie. This is one from Fisk and Ghostly when they sent me that little mouse pad, which is very sweet. This is from a friend, Lil Emily, an incredibly talented type designer who this is like kind of like displaying one of her fonts, which is really sick. You should check her out. She's just launched her web store, which is really cool. And this is from Carla Draws, who once again, generously sent this among a bunch of stickers that I bought from her. And that's her and her little dog. Isn't that so cute? I want to make some of these things. I want to make things like this. I just spat on the lens. So this is the main living area. We'll start over here with this little bit of cabinetry. We've got two plants up the top here. These plants have been doing very well. Again,this pot, like I said, if you see the start, you know, I was gifted an unbelievably good secret Santa present right here. Legend who got it for me. This is from Honey TV, who are a super cool brand, I think based in LA. I bought a bunch of shirts from them like years ago. And then they released this big pot of gold, honey kind of guy. Honey,it makes sense. Honey TV, you know, do the math,guys. It's very simple. How did I not realize? This is my book corner with a bunch of books that I haven't read yet or have read. Some of them I have read, some of them I haven't. My favorite thing here is probably this little Bubblegum Volume 3 book here, which I can show you a little bit inside of. This was a book of Rizzo's that Jumbo Press did on a Kickstarter a little while ago. I've supported, I think two of Jumbo Press's Kickstarters now. They've done some really cool projects, getting a bunch of like really talented artists and illustrators together to make these like Rizzo books and stuff. Very cool. Jumbo Press is so cool. This is Dr. Toothy. Dr. Toothy is an invention of CoreCal, the brand that made the legendary dog mat that I featured in a bunch of the videos. The dog mat is actually in the bedroom. We'll get to him later. This is actually an incense burner too, which is sick. You can take off his head and you can burn some incense in there, which is cool. So we've got that lying down here. I never actually burned any on him. I just like him kind of there on his own with a removable toothbrush as well. And that's one of my prints behind there. On each tier of this cabinet, I've got like one of my prints that kind of tucked away because I don't like displaying my stuff too much because I don't know. That's like I made that in like 2020. So my style has changed a lot and I don't really like it that much, but it is there. Going down a level, we have some more things. We've got some little extra stickers that I've got to put up somewhere soon. Another one of my prints, a Fisk water bottle, of course. This cat clock that I got from Hands as well. We've got this beautiful little vintage phone thing. That's a phone over there. And then this is a little chalkboard, which I haven't changed in years. Hello Sweet Apartment has been there since like 2020. Little Snoopy that I got from a gacha machine in Japan. This year is a small little card I was given from my friend Oscar. He did a collaboration with his mate Jesse No Plan Studio on Instagram. They made a little collaboration together and they gave me a little print. This is a beautiful little tribute piece paying homage to the One and Only Dog Mat made by my friend Miranda, who is one of my awesome Twitch moderators. You might have seen their name in the Twitch chat if you're in a Design Chef stream. God,I love this little dog so much. And look at those colors. God. Have a look. This is my home. Wow. That guy really won't shut up about his apartment. Wait. I'm literally that guy. And you know what I also can't shut up about? Highly curated design-oriented imagery. Specifically from Stills. Now I've already told you how good these images are. You should already know about the incredible selection of artists on Stills and how much their work can elevate your design projects. But one of the features I haven't spoken too much on is boards. And no, I don't mean boards as in the slang term for rebounds in basketball, although I did get six in my last Social League game. I'm talking about being able to curate your fav imagery into mood boards that you can share directly with clients. This year is Elliot Is A Board, a place where I showcase a handful of images that I find particularly inspiring. At the bottom here, Stills is very smart and shows me some images that I might also like, and I can add them directly to my board. From there, I can then send my board directly to my clients and we can finally license the work that's in my mood boards. Yeah, Stills is more than just a plain old photo licensing site. It's a really good photo licensing site. I said what I said. Sign up for your free account now using the link in the description of this video. This apartment was empty when I moved in, so the first thing I bought was this couch. This was my taste of what was to come, I guess. I don't really like the couch anymore, but for the first piece that I bought, I was like, Look at me. I'm buying a cool orange couch, and I thought that was pretty fun. But yeah, I don't know. I think a more neutral color would look really good in this space now. We've got some fun pillows as well. We've got yellow, blue, and this nice little orange. A lot of orange going on here. We've got this ottoman that matches the... as the orange there, which is really fun too. The piece de resistance of the apartment is this rug here. This is my Brollio Amato rug who made it in collaboration with this very cool rug studio company called Sula. I got this like two years ago, and it has lasted pretty well. I think it's done pretty well. I was really, really scared for like the first two months of getting it dirty, so it was like a real no-shoes policy. When I say two months, I probably mean like a year and a half, honestly. I've only pretty recently gotten around to being OK with it, getting a little bit dirty. That's the beauty of furniture. You know, things get dirty. It's OK. It's fine. This is my new MacBook. I now work on a MacBook every so often. This is getting prepared for my move. So I now have the laptop so I can get rid of my computer when I leave here. I am obsessed with it. I'll tell you what, with the MacBook, guys, like I got the Mac, and then I started using Chrome for a bit, and it would just chew through battery, and it was actually quite slow. And I was like, oh no, what did everyone say? Because it's got like the M3 and everything. And I was like, everyone said it was so good. And then it wasn't, and I got scared. And then turns out it's really good with the Adobe Suede. I put in Premiere, like editing these YouTube videos on that thing. I get it now. So I get all you Mac users. I understand. This here is a noob chair that I got secondhand from a place called Shagga Relic, which is like this curated vintage marketplace. This person kind of goes around and finds these really cool vintage pieces. Check her out on Instagram, very sick. I love this chair so much. I love these little chrome legs that it has. And it's got a real nice shape if you kind of check out behind it. It's got this kind of like dome shape at the bottom, which kind of looks really comfy, but it's probably the least comfy thing I've ever sat on in my life. This little cushion here was made by a super cool cushion maker, Tay,who was very generous and gave that to me. And it just works so well there. We've also talked ages ago when she first gave it to me about like selling these things. If you're interested, let us know, all right? You want one of those? Let me know. I think they're cool. You want one? A few little things over here. We have, this is a beautiful pot designed by Joshua Space, who's this really cool designer based in Melbourne. It's a recycled planter made out of this like plastic, like a bunch of recycled plastic and stuff. Turned out so well. The image online, like because, you know, all the different planters, they differ depending on what plastic is used to make them. And this one was, I got so lucky with this. I'm so happy with the colors. Like it's just, it's stunning. It's an absolutely stunning planter. This is a little IKEA table as well that's holding up these two. We just have a very basic terracotta pot, which I thought was nice for this bird of paradise that has yet to flower, but one day it might. And a little portable lamp from Hay. Also got this green IKEA box that a friend was giving away. And that stands, that gives a little bit of extra height so you can see the planter. But it's like cool, even though you can hardly see it, like it's there. And when you see it, I think it's cool. And then this is my umbrella tree, which I have such a love-hate relationship with. It has grown so well and it has grown so big and tall. It's like pretty much doubled in height since I got it. But it has scale. In like the last few months, it's developed scale, which is like a pest. I spend a solid 15 minutes every week picking off the scale on this thing and I spray it with everything I can. I do my best. I've tried a bunch of different things. The scale keeps coming back, but,you know, it keeps growing. Once I realized it had scale, it started growing because I could like tend to it. But the scale does come back, which is frustrating, but it's a beautiful plant. And then, of course, we have my gallery wall. This wall was empty for so long and then I just put up this one print and then it was just that one print for so long. And then I was like, you know, just get on with it, put the rest up and I'm so happy with how it looks. It's got a nice little, you know, nice little arc to it. So going from left to right, this is a Brollio Amato print that I got in a mystery tube of posters that he was selling for a while. They got three prints. That's one of them. That's another one. And the third one is, I think, behind the couch because I haven't yet. I don't know where to put it yet. But I got so lucky. Like, I love this one so much. I'm so happy with this one. I mean, I love all of his work. I'm kind of obsessed with Brollio Amato's work. But this one is so sick. This here is a print by Tristan Miller that I got on Drool. Tristan is a super cool Sydney-based designer. And I think that absolutely suits it. It kind of matches this one too, which is fun. You can see there's a general style that I kind of go for. So I really like these kind of abstract designs. And I think the black frame looks really good too. This here is one of many Da Zingy B prints that I have. I bought a few prints from Da Zingy B and he sent me a bunch more because people are so generous. That's the thing. I think my favorite thing about, like, doing this, being an Instagram designer, being like a content creator kind of thing is that, like, I'll talk to the people. pretty much all the people that I've bought stuff from I've been able to, like, chat with them, which is really fun. And people are so generous. People are, like, people are ridiculously generous. Like, they'll just, like, chuck in a few stickers, chuck in a few little things. Like, it's so nice. And Da Zingy B sent me, like, four other prints included when I bought, like, two from his site. So people, it's cool. It's very cool. I've... Shout out to the artists of the world. I had this tiny little space in between here that I wanted to fill with, like, a little small print. And I found this one by Isu Kim on Room 50. The only thing is, this shade of yellow does not work well with my color grading that I do all the LUTs, LUTs, whatever you... LUTs? Kind of, like, glitches out a bit. So I have to mask the LUT. But I think it still shines through, which is really nice. And I... It just fits that space perfectly. What do you think of the spacing around all these prints as well? I think I did an OK job. Do we put something there? Maybe. This is Watermelon Cat by Angela Kirkwood. I don't think you can get this print anymore. So I feel pretty... pretty... pretty blessed to get this print because a lot of people have been asking where I got this print from. But Angela Kirkwood is, like, one of the coolest, most talented... just, like, go check out Angela Kirkwood, seriously. You have no idea how big Angela Kirkwood is going to be. Like, I'm dead set, like, such a talented artist. And this is... this is sick. The cat is literally... in... the cat is... the cat is the watermelon. And this is another print that I got from Disney Bee that I just love. It's got that blue, yellow, and red combo that I just simply adore. And these blue frames are fun, too. Colored frames. Real cool. They work really well in the space. Anyway, so that's kind of that. And this is my little sticker wall that I've got here where I've got a bunch of... a bunch of stickers all put up. And let's go through some of these stickers because there's some real cool ones. I have bought and been gifted a lot of stickers in the past. I always wanted to do something with them. And I thought it would be, like, a real cool space to chuck them up here. So any of them that I got, I would just throw them up immediately. I've got one from Above the Clouds, which is just a clothing store. Don't know why it's up there, but, you know, now it's up there. It just has to stay up. We've got some from some very cool places. If you ever see an elephant, you know it's from Jumbo Press. They've sent me a whole bunch. We have some Carla Draws. We have some Elliott Snowman. We have some Honey TV, some Let's Brock, some Gallo, which is a cool, like, ceramics company. I also don't know what to do with this when I move. Like, do I just, like, take the piece of wood, move it to New York with me or something? I think that would actually be quite fun. That's the thing with stickers. You kind of have to accept that they're going to be permanently up there. Yeah. Permanence. It's an interesting concept. You see all of this on camera, right? This is where I shoot all of my videos. What you don't see is when we turn a little bit to the right here and we get to see the other half of the room, which isn't as pretty, but, I don't know. I think I've done a pretty good job with it. I think it's OK. This is my little TV corner. I've got this TV on legs. It's the Samsung The Frame, so it changes the photos and everything. We've got some Keith Haring stuff going up right now, which is a bit of a nice pop of color in the room. Here we have another Koukou piece. This is a candle boy from Koukou. Koukou sell these tiny little candles that look just like this, a lot smaller, and then they released this chrome version of it. That's actually an incense burner again. So you actually light the incense through here. You can chuck in a little bit of incense, pop it in there, and then if you tap its back, then it will blow smoke rings, which is so funny. So look at that. Absolutely shining. Some beautiful colors going on there. I got this rug from the same place I got the Brollio Amato rug. I think it's a funny little parody of having one of those real animal hide rugs that are so ridiculous. I think this is cute, just sitting here kind of lounging. Also always wanted a cat, but my balcony is definitely not safe for a cat. So this is my way of having a cat in here. Got a cat in here, and then I got a dog in the other room. Yeah. Got a bunch of mess of this thing going on back here. We hide it with all these plants and this Christmas tree. Maybe next month. Maybe March is the month we get rid of this,eh? I need to replace it with another plant because I've got to pot that. That's the issue,you know? What am I meant to do? We have the little YouTube plaque here because of course,you know, when I'm playing Street Fighter on the couch, I need to look at this and remind myself, Elliot,why are you playing Street Fighter? You've lost the last 10 games in a row. It's time to make another YouTube video. So it's a nice reminder,yeah? Does it actually work? Probably not. It reminds me to take a 20-minute Street Fighter break to reward myself for all the hard work I did to get to this point. It's an awful system. This is by far my favorite plant that I have here. This is my fiddle leaf fig. It is quite an incredible plant. When I got this plant, I actually brought it into the elevator of my apartment building and someone kind of saw it and was like, Is that a fiddle leaf fig? And I said,yeah. And then they were like, Keep an eye on it at all times. And I was like,why? And they were like, I blinked once and it lost 10 leaves. And I was like, Jesus Christ,OK. Because I know that it doesn't do wind very well, but my apartment gets quite a breeze coming through. So I was a bit worried about it. It's lost like one leaf in a year and a half. This thing is sturdy. This is a very sturdy plant. And it's recently started developing, like a lot of these are new, which is really fun too. It's really liking the warmer weather. Yeah. You can usually see it better as well when the Christmas tree is in here, but this is another recycled plant. This one is from Design By Them, which is a city-based design studio and it is absolutely adorable. It's kind of like the inverse of the Joshua Space one. But yeah. Super nice. We love a big plant. This is one of my favorite pieces I've ever got. This is from like an object-making studio called Fearon, based in,I believe, I want to say Byron Bay, like up the coast somewhere. And they do these like aluminum pieces. And I've got two of these chubs. One is in the bedroom. This used to be one of my bedside tables, but I thought it deserved a bit more love. I wanted to look at it more. So I brought it out here and use it as a little stand. And I think it works really well, especially as a stand for this guy, which is my little Michelin Man Camel. I got this from a place called Jarlow, which is a ceramics objects kind of company. They do some really cool stuff by some very cool artists. And it's also got these little candle holders as the humps. Never put candles in them, but I think he'd look pretty cool with some candles in it. And we've got a little saluting cat here just for the sake of that's another cat that I got in a little Gacha machine. And who are we saluting to, do you reckon? Get in focus. Focus on the cat. Anyway. There's a saluting cat. And this is where the magic happens. This is the desk. Oh God, I hate this place so much. This is like kind of a relic of streaming past. Back when I used to stream like four times a week, which is why we've got the camera set up on this like dense kind of arm system back there. This light over here that you can turn on at the like the press of a button turns on and off, which is fun. We've got a webcam, a bunch of just random gear. I don't know. I don't like sitting here at all. I really, really don't like sitting here. It's a standing desk, which is fun. So when I stream, I can kind of stand up and move around. That's us right there. Say hello. That's... Hello. Can't figure out how to do... Look at that. Look at the size of that lens. Isn't that ridiculous? So we've got like some nonsense like this is a Go XLR so I can control audio stuff. This is some stream deck. So, you know, we can... When I stream, if I'm doing like Design Chef or something, I've got like all these little buttons that tell me what to do to zoom in and stuff. Makes it really easy to stream. We've got this fidget spinner, which I really like. Probably my favorite part of the desk. This is new. I got one of these little hard drives that I can put in this computer and then move it over into that laptop. This is my third Fisk mouse pad. It's... This one is in black, so it doesn't get as dirty. The blue one got really dirty really quickly, but the black one has done pretty well. And then we have a little Cat Mario amiibo over here who is wishing me good luck whenever I work, which is real fun. He's going, Good. Good for you, Elliot. You know, that's what he's saying. Good on you. Let's work. That's what he said. Let's design. Maybe that's what he said. We also got this mic around here that kind of comes out in this arm, which is great for... Very, very good for streaming and for zoom interviews. God, it's very fun doing like a little work call on this setup, actually, because it's like the background is really fun. It looks... It looks really complete. It's nice. And you can... They go, Oh, he's definitely a designer. Let me tell you. And then they see the chair. Am I right? God, we've got, of course, the Herman Miller Aeron here because I need that back support. I need to be a true designer. I need a Herman Miller. And yeah, it's definitely a... It's one good chair. Let me tell you that. And then here are the famous Elliot is a cool guy glasses, would you believe? These are from Bailey Nelson. And when I was getting them, I was told that these are the ones that every graphic designer gets. So I said, Give me, give me. And now I wear them. And I actually do need them. I used to have blue light filter glasses and they didn't have a prescription. Then I got an eye test. Turns out I need them when I sit at the computer. So yeah, good for me. I think that's everything in the living room. That's pretty much it. What you see is what you get. I display this a lot in all of my videos. And I'm trying to get as many angles of it as possible whenever I film a video. Oh, actually, this lamp is really fun too. This is from Shagger Relic. This is a vintage Oslo lamp. So you've got the two lamps there. They've got smart lights in them because I like being able to go, Hey, Google, turn on all lights. And then it will go like, Boom. Thank you, Google. Please turn off all lights. You like the kick that I get out of that. Let me take you to a place that you haven't seen before, which is just down this hallway. So this is all cupboards. I've got an insane amount of storage in this apartment, which is really like, I feel like hard to get in Sydney. Like for a one-bedroom apartment, I got very lucky with the amount. I mean, there is like an elevator like through there. So you hear the elevator going up and down, which they didn't tell me about when I signed my lease. We have a bathroom in here. It's just a bathroom. I don't really want to show you much of the, you know, there's nothing much to show. I like the towels. And then we come in here and this is my bedroom, everyone. This is where the magic happens. And by magic, I of course mean getting around seven hours of sleep a night. Probably couldn't get that up to eight. I like my bedroom a lot. I think it's very simple. I wish that, I mean, you've got so much empty space here, which is such a shame. I really want to put stuff up, but I kind of, I kind of like how empty it is. I mean, you can tell that like the tenant before me put up a TV. There's like a hole that they've covered like somewhere up there on the wall, which I will definitely end up having to pay. That's my other big chub there. We've got it in yellow, which is, I love that as a bedside table. We have a Foscarini Beniche light here, which I had always wanted. And then I found one on Facebook Marketplace for like a quarter of the price and I was like, give me, give me. This duvet cover and pillow sheets are from a place called Gata, which is this like South Korean bedding and linen company and they look so good. I love the yellow square on the pink. Such a simple like pattern and design, but it's a real nice accent. Would love some kind of future pillow as well, but the two yellow is kind of nice for now. This is my Brulio Motto throw rug that I got from Sula again because I love Brulio Motto's work and I just, what was I meant to do? Not get this bloody thing? I've never used it because it doesn't get cold enough. or I get, I guess, I think I don't get cold enough. I run quite warm, I would say. These two pillows are here because they're too big for the couch. I really thought I could make it work, but I think they actually look really good at the foot of the bed for some reason. We have, of course, the dog rug. This is my Korkow dog rug and he is just resting so gently. I wish I could kind of put it at the foot of the bed. I think that'd be cute. Maybe if it was like a really thin like pillow or something, but it works for now. We have my second Monstera here, which is growing super well again. It's got another one of those cool little stands. This one's in a nice little cream. Beautiful looking plant. God bless with that little green pot down the bottom there. Works really well in the room. I found this table from a real talented designer called Billy Furniture on Instagram and I knew I had to get one as soon as I saw it. I could not get enough of the flower shape. I chose this nice orange color. I think it works really well in the room. Very happy with it. Looks really nice. We've got the little Google, of course, because, you know, when you you gotta have one in each room. So it's my alarm. Works really well. And then this is my little Seiko clock that I like as well. So you can see that it is 12.04. Time for lunch, guys. This is the smallest plant that I have and by far the hardest one to take care of. It's gone through it. It's gone through everything. I brought this plant back to life like three times. It needs a trim. I need to get rid of these dead leaves because, like, Jesus Christ, it's kind of on its last legs right now. But, you know, there are signs of growth. Let me tell you. But it has spider mites. And then outside, you can kind of see my final two plants. One of them had a bunch of aphids on it. Yellow aphids. Check out this photo. Let me tell you quickly about aphids, actually, because that plant had so many aphids on it that what happens with the aphids is they... The adults will mutate and develop wings only if there isn't enough space on the plant for more aphids. They will literally, like... They shouldn't grow wings, but they will grow wings if they need to move on. And I found them once. Like, I could not get rid of these aphids. And one day, I was away for, like, a weekend. Came back and, like, half of them had grown wings. And I was like, this is ridiculous. So, anyway, got rid of them in the end. I figured it out. But they are... They're... That's a tough bug to deal with. And then finally, this is my mirror. Fit check. Cool. You know I got my Benbury Crocs on, guys. Yeah. This is my Joshua Space mirror. Same guy who did the... One of my recycled planters in the other room. This is one of his void mirrors. You can get it in, like, some different colors on the border. But I chose this cream one. And it looks so damn good. I love this mirror. I think decorative mirrors are, like, real tricky to find. You usually just find ones with crazy shapes. But I love the, like, putting a pop of color on a mirror. So sick. A lot of storage as well. A lot of empty space. Like, it kind of looks so... Like, there's just nothing here. But then you kind of turn around and you go, oh, a bit of pop of color. It's simple. It works. I like coming in here just to sleep. You know, this is... The point of this room was just, when I'm in here, go to bed. So that has worked. I've made this very much my sleeping room. So that's fine. And if you're wondering where 2nd Elliot lives, he lives in this little box just at the end of the hallway here, which I think is quite cute. Hey, everyone. Nice to see you. I don't think you... I wouldn't say you've moved in. I guess I made you and then found room for you to live in here. But you seem... I think you enjoy it, right? Yeah, it's definitely cozy. But it works for now, I think. So I'm pretty happy. Yeah, exactly. So we had fun, you know. We kind of like... What do we do? What do we get up to on our nights off? We have movie nights every so often. We watched Dune the other day, if I remember correctly. Yeah, we watched that one the other day. That was good. We dine together. We play some video games. Yeah, a little bit of games. A little bit of Smash Bros. A little bit of Street Fighter. Yeah, Elliot's a huge Jamie main, which is odd. Unfortunately, the second Elliot is a guile main. And if you know... If you know anything about Street Fighter, you know that's going to be a... Hey, it's not that bad. That's going to be frustrating to play against. But we have fun. Yeah, we have a bit of fun, I guess. Yeah, that's us, I guess. And I'm pretty sure that's all there is to it. That's my apartment. I think it's been really fun kind of like finding my style in terms of interior design and like what I like and what I look for when it comes to getting new furniture and new knickknacks and stuff like that. I don't think there's like one color that kind of like shines. I think a lot of people have like an accent color in their apartment. And I think mine's just everything, which I think is fun too. But it all works together. Like I think that's my kind of... The best thing that I've learned is that if you just get things that you like, then the style is like things that you like. I think some people get things to match like a certain aesthetic and stuff. But like if you don't like looking at it yourself, then what's the point? So I think you just got to trust that it will work. If you get a bunch of stuff that you think won't fit. Like there's been plenty of stuff that I'm like this won't work at all. And then it just does because everything else doesn't fit too in a way. Do you know what I'm saying? When I say... Is anything I'm saying making any sense this video? I've gone without a script this video. That's weird. I feel very odd doing that. It's been ages. It's been like a year since I've done a video without a script. So yeah. Yeah, I love this place a lot. It's really fun. And it's awesome. And it's Elliot, you know. I think it's just so Elliot, which is nice. So I hope you enjoyed the place. And can I finish with something beautiful? Something profound? Can I just finish with something like that? All right, let's give it a go. A house is not a home until... What is an apartment without a decorative chair? What is... If the kitchen is spotless, then I assume I have a lot of work to do in my personal life. All right, that'll do it. Anyway, thanks so much for watching the video, guys. That's so cool of you for doing that. Sorry it took so long to get out. It was the easiest video I've ever made. I could not explain why it took so long to get out. But that's part of the fun of what I do. The next video I've got coming out is 1000 Logos in 1000 Minutes. I'm being dead serious about that. I've already filmed it. It's gonna be insane. I feel like a new man since doing that. All right. Would you like to watch another video? There's a few on the left side, on the sidebar. Take a pick. Which one will you pick today? Bye.
