So happy that a subscriber allowed me to tour his 120sqft NYC apartment. Excited to expand the Knowing Home w/ Nyasia series and get to know people and spaces in a more in depth way. Hope you enjoy this one :)
@@sperlongatours thank you so much!

How much is the rent
loving the video, can't wait for more! 💕
@@izefeno can’t wait to film more!
Even though he decorated BEAUTIFULLY, it actually made me happy to hear that he moved into a bigger space!
I feel like he deserves it.
I think *he* makes the space. You can feel the positive energy even through watching a video.
I completely agree. He has a personality perfect for the big screen!
Haha! I appreciate that! Thank you!
Yes I love his energy
@@francesmask78 thanks!
POP LIFE...WHAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR CZcams CHANNEL ??? ALSO JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT YOU HAVE GREAT STYLE AND A SWEET AND BUBBLY PERSONALITY !! I SEE YOU GOING VERY FAR IN LIFE..STAY KIND, STAY POSITIVE, STAY CREATIVE, GIVE BACK..BLESS YOU !!
“I bought this head statue in 1997”
me thinking he’s like 24: 👁 👄 👁
😂😂
Exactlyyyyyyy LMAOOO.
Black don't ......
Like legit !! I’m 29 and thought we were around the same age
@@floridagirl9064 some people don't like having a fixed home. I love the idea I can move as I please. Girl, dont judge.
That yellow corner “headboard” is very creative.
He did a good job of decorating. It looked sleek, not like a jail cell. LOL the new apt prolly feels like a mansion.
I think he did a great job of organizing and decorating!
Thank you! Yes.. the new space feels like a mansion but I definitely loved my tiny space!
@@PopLifeCreative Heading over to ur channel.
@@PopLifeCreative May I ask what is the rental price on your place?
He actually knows how to design. Not everyone has the gift unfortunately. :)
I love what he did with this space but I couldn’t do it without my own bathroom.
I didn't even know apartments like this still existed. Makes me grateful for our place.
Exactly what’s the point of renting if you can’t have your own bathroom?
or kitchen
I still can't get over the fact that these people call 'rooms' apartments.
Only...Only in New York! No, Thank You! Owners are making a killing while living in the Hamptons!
You can normalize any kind of atrocity, just make it fashionable in the case of "tiny apartments".
The "tiny apartment" movement is an awesome initiative to get the working poor to pay as much as or more than the the well off for a sqft. Why try and enslave people when it's easier and considered more moral to talk them into putting shackles on their own feet and those of their children.
@@calvinsylveste8474 True.
I wish I was landlord in New York ,I would have been rich asf by fooling people into thinking this is an apartment ,imagine how much these landlord are making ?u can even sell closet at over $1500 and people will still buy it in New York .
... they're so desperate to live in NYC...some will even live in a broom closet..just to have the address.
Great apartment tour. Any landlord would be fortunate to have him for a renter. Tony's talent and class will open doors for him.
Whenever I see tiny or micro living spaces, all I wanna see are the kitchen and the bathroom, even if they're small. I need both. This is basically a hotel or dorm room with a community bathroom. Glad he's happy but I couldn't do it.
Yeah, I'm an NYC resident and I agree with you. I think everyone does though, this is a room in a boarding house, not an actual apartment.
The title is clickbait. I wanted to see how he crammed all his stuff in there with a bathroom and kitchen counter tops taking up most of the space. What he did looks cute, but it's not that impressive to fit bedroom furniture into a 120 foot space. 120 square feet is actually considered a generous bedroom here. Haha, I'm not kidding. If you're making under 6 figures and you want to live in Manhattan south of Harlem, you're looking at a place with roommates and a bedroom that's closer to 80 square feet. Then it's harder to fit everything in the room, and a more impressive feat if you can do it and still look cute.
Exactly. It's a room in a boarding house. It is not an apartment. If all he wants is a bedroom of his own, why not go back to having roommates? Then he might actually have a shared kitchen too.
Facts. The decor is super nice BUT I gotta have a kitchen(with a stove, not a hot plate) and a bathroom even if it’s small.
Me either.
@@rachelmaddowswife8713 I always feel a RV sized bathroom is doable in these types of spaces if the landlord doesn't have a problem with that (which one has to consider) and if the door is at the middle of the room (not at the corner).
If he gets a chest of drawers with some space in the middle, it could double as his workspace, thus his desk won't be necessary and that will create more space. I would have gotten high vertical shelves to put my stuff.
Summary of the story is that the space is enough for a kitchen area and a RV sized bathroom with some tweaking.
I’m legit claustrophobic looking at this... but I do like how he has decorated and managed all the space
when I got my house appraised, they told me if there isn't a closet it's not considered a bedroom.
I was just thinking the same thing.
I guess because it is nyc they can get away with it and people drool about being in nyc so they go along with whatever theyre told, shameful
Yep. A bedroom must have a window and a closet.
yes, depends on your local code: no closet no window= usually not a bedroom
NYC is literally a sinking island but living space is in high demand...so
Houses built before the 1950s rarely had closets - people used a piece of furniture called a wardrobe or armoire instead. So having a closet is not really a good definition of a bedroom. A minimum square footage requirement would make more sense.
Glad he gotta a bigger place cause the sharing of the bathroom is a turn off especially in these crazy times.
He commented that his new place is still a shared bathroom. I can’t imagine.
You have to share a bathroom in there??.? Seriously??? Is it still 1800 in there, if other tenants are sharing it should not be cleaned three times a week, it should be cleaned daily.
It’s a cute space and he likes it, but I’d have to be desperate before I’d share a bathroom.
This building was converted into rooms and rented as "apartments" for more profit . Where the fireplace is was originally the living room at one point. Born and raised 718
Yes I am a 718 baby as well and I was smh like definetely for profit. Smh I can’t imagine the cost...
@@Calledbygraceministry how much do you think he was paying in his tiny 1st place? 1500 a month? (I've no clue, so just guessing). I couldn't do the public bathroom, though at least it's locked. I'd rather have a loo than a kitchen!
What’s 718
@@maggie0105 Brooklyn area code
Yeah, you can tell they sliced and diced this building.
I can't imagine being in such a small space and being in a lock down or stay at home order. I'm glad he has such a positive attitude.
It's called a small room or closet. It's not an apt.
His positive attitude will burn off fast the second he check his bank acc
It’s the no bathroom or kitchen for me!
The Japanese say the the color black means confidence but I like the way he decorated his tiny home.
That's so interesting, I never knew that.
This really makes me appreciate my apartment! I've have an affordable 2 bedrooms, full laundry room..of my own, fireplace, balcony! My complaint was I still didn't have enough room- needed storage room and a work room. I'll never complain again. I am so greatful.
"I got lucky with this bathroom, I only have to share it with three other people." 😳😮😲
That's New York for you. I lived in a place where I had to share the bathroom with other roommates. Cute place, but I hated that aspect of it. Whew! Those were the days.
The cameraman’s angles were on point! He really made the space work for him while filming this
I really like this little place. He has really made the most of the space.
Thank you!
It was super cozy!
Agreed...the decor makes a huge difference with such limited space. We need a part two in the new apartment.
Actually has lots more space wasted . He should have gone vertically. Even for clothing space, think about stores, they go up with clothing.
@@sheilagravely5621 I understand that using vertical space is practical if you need it, but do you want it to look like you are living in a store? If it functioned well, than he had what he needed while keeping it a home.
His happiness doesn’t seem forced like a lot of other New Yorkers I’ve seen showing their “apartments” 👍🏾
So New Yorkers are really generous with the word "Apartment".
This is a dorm room-not an apartment.
Yep. Exactly what I was thinking! 😄
Yea, time to get a real job, and stop living in a closet!
@@mikeherschhersch82 the rent is probably $1500+... He has a real job.
I doubt both
Mike you’re clueless
He’s so cute 🥺🥺 Also really appreciate the aesthetic he has going on. He did good
He definitely has great style.
Thank you!!!
I loved his tiny apartment. He had really good taste.
Thanks!
this was the absolute best NYC tiny apartment interior decor i've ever seen, and i've seen a lot. I was really impressed by his painting ideas and minimal decor but still masculine and so put together. Honestly I was so impressed throughout the whole video. You really did an exceptional job. No one has done better!
This was a really cool thing to do. Having your own space, no matter the size, is priceless.
I personally love small spaces especially once my children left home. I would rather spend my money on travel than a larger apartment. He has done a great job. And I especially love the black.💖💖💖💖💖💖
You’re ready for adventure Christy lol!
Agree with you and that’s why myself I moved into a 300 sq studio in West L.A to save money and be able to do other things on the side and travel the world.
Christy L Shedd Im grown and single have a tiny apt and I dont want too much bigger, its just more to clean,
Absolutely!!!
Wow, he did a terrific job decorating his small apartment, utilizing every space.
Thanks you!
@@PopLifeCreative I can't wait to see what you do with the new apartment! Hopefully you can give me some pointers on decorating ☺
2:49 I can totally relate to this. I remember when I moved from a 3-bedroom apartment just outside the main downtown area with roommates to a studio so I could be in the center of town. The studio was tiny but it was so nice to have my own space. Love the big mirror and the yellow pop of color!
The rent...... how much is the rent....you need to tell us how much the rent are on these places!!!
I lived in one of these for 2 years! It was $1300 a month 🙃
@@lexisue3381 wtf you can find 2-3 bedrooms in nyc for $2,100 and one bedrooms for $1500
@@chaseauguster557 really? Sign me up
@@lexisue3381 if you leave NY you can BUY your own place in $1300 a month. Off course you will be required to pay down payment but it’s so much worth it than wasting your hard earned cash on these closets.
@@islagrace5053 what kind of place can you buy for that? Is it a home or apartment?
I know things are different in every state but these prices just sound really high to me.
For $300 a month for 3 years I got 2 acres of land a 1 bd 1 bt home with a 20×20 extra building that we turned into a small apartment.
I do have to say people in this city are so creative and artistic on how they fix their tiny homes.
It's cute. It just reminds me of college dorm. An upscale college dorm, but still. I wouldn't mind living in this if I were in college. But it doesn't have a bathroom so that's a requirement I need. It's not bad. You really have to have a place for everything in this small of a room.
Exactly my thought. This is a dorm room. It's well decorated but it's a room not an apartment. And one can certainly live comfortably in it as college students do. But it is not a space to live in for a lifetime.
I don't think I could consider anything an apartment if it has no attached private bathroom, but the way he's styled it is very cute. I'm gonna go look at his new apartment! Also you look amazing in this outfit!
I agree for the amount of space he styled it well. This set was thrifted and I love it, thank you!
I was thinking about the bathroom. I have to have a bathroom even before a kitchen.
Look in this new world of 2020 we need to be open to all situations due to all of the changes in the economy, financial world, political landscape & society
@@Anewuser_6282 pretty soon folks will be living lin coffin apartments like they do in Japan to allow the rich landlords to pack us in like sardines.
@@rickiesmith413 me too.
Actually this is a walk-in closet.
hahahahah you wrong for that
Sharing toilet and shower with three strangers hardly fits the definition of super easy and super convenient.
and it was shockingly clean how is that possible...hahha lol
I actually really admired how he decorated his apartment very stylish and clean . I actually feel like if I was to move to nyc I would do something similar .
Thank you! Loved my small space and happy to hear that you appreciated it as well!
Loved this segment, Tony has a a great sense of style and confident in his expression of it, he's hella organized, and you can tell he put thought into his pieces of furniture and art. His space is really Zen & inspiring for any space, small or otherwise, you can also tell Tony has a plan and a vision honey and I see him MOVIN ON up!! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
New York use to actually have large apartments. These small apartments are usually once large apartments split up to make more apartments.
He did a Fabolous Job with the Apartment. It's as amazing as his energy.
Wow, I love incorporating local renters. How cool. Very realistic.
I love that it adds an extra layer to the video.
I was one of the naysayers LOL. Ok you may have sold me on this, because he is a whole VIBE! Show us how its done son! LOL Thanks for sharing!
Glad I could give you a different perspective! Thank you!
Glad this video turned you into a possible tiny home lover lol!
I love him. So organized and neat. Nice small space ❤
Nice decor of the apartment. He seems happy living in this space. Good for him👍🏻 . Thank you for this tour
I am so impressed! Tony had made his little home so sophisticated with the grey and black....yet it's cozy at the same time! It really seems open and airy. Dang, Tony! Great job!! And great video!!🤗🤗
Thank you so much! Glad to see you liked how i worked with the space!
Aww you're so welcome. I really like seeing how other people work with their space, what inspires them...and hopefully I get some ideas. I love the Target desk and am thinking something like that would work perfectly in the study, as it's kind of a small room. But I want to make room somehow for many of my books because I have so many. So I need a small sor of desk. And I'd like to fit a small loveseat or futon. Sorry I'm rambling but you're really good at organizing! And already I'm getting ideas!
I love the way he articulates his reasoning behind decor/design choices and inspirations. You guys really play well off each other, I must say. I purchase on Etsy all the time and will definitely order from him. Glad he was able to find a bigger apartment!!
LOVE THIS SERIES!!!
He was a great sport for letting everyone into his home!
Good space. Looks well balanced and lots of positive energy. It was a nice touch to see a routine in a small space. And I loooooove the Free Britney top. Gorgeous design.
Hey Mr. tiny apartment guy. You're such a sociable, funny and talkative dude. You need a sitting area. Put your bed up high, and utilize the space beneath it for your office. Then your desk can appropriately be converted into a sitting area, a table with two chairs from which you and your artistic friends can sip champagne and develop very innovative creative ideas. You truly are a man of God, living simply, humbly and with panache! Kudos!
This man just gave me the most organizing inspiration. He did a great job and awesome he got a bigger place, can't wait to see how he works with that one. The ideas for videos stay great, with you both great and continued energy
I wish I could be half as organized as he is! Thanks for supporting!
Tony is a cool guy and I'm loving how he's working the Tiny space life. I'm also loving his Etsy page and the products he's using.
Thank you so much!
Wow! Thanks for the interview. And thank you for sharing your tiny apartment.
I would LOVE to see an update on his new apartment decor! The moulding on that fireplace is STUNNING!
This series is so fascinating!!!
I never miss an episode!! Subscribed and notified gang!! 😂❤️🤣🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@nancyismyname Das right!!!!!
He did a great job making the space work for him, hopefully you guys can collab again and show his new apt
Thank you!
He definitely did a great job!
It looks SO good! I love all the touches... the yellow pop of color, the lamp, the oversized mirror and clock.. the plants and the light... divine!
thank you!
Thankyou for sharing... love seeing others living in Small Spaces. 🙏like the headboard painted, the windows make it
Love this style! Showing how it is to actually live in a space that is unique makes it more real.
Totally gives a better sense of space.
I love the Knowing Home series with you.
Thank you Marla, I love making this series!
I’m IN LOVE!!!! This is perfect! 🤩
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Standing ovation for showing what can be done with so little space! LOVE it!🙋🏽♀️💗
I don’t really know how they can call it an apartment without a bathroom or kitchenette. Oh yes, or a closet. It is just a room. I’d put at least a double bed in the corner. I couldn’t sleep on a tiny twin bed.
Yes exactly he got a room, not an apt
Cannot sleep on a twin anymore to small
Gorgeous! Black is my aesthetic and I dig his vibe.
It was definitely a great vibe.
Great job on the visual “headboard. “. Liked the “hello” too !
OH MY GOODNESS AMAZING!!!!! I love your space hun😊😊😊 you did a really good job with the place. Lovely!!!
I love watching your videos and this was a real treat! What a wonderful surprise to be able to see how this subscriber decorated his space. And it was so SLEEK! I love the simple colors and the large dresser and mirror. I love decorating and this was very inspirational. Great video. Can't want to see his new place.
So happy he felt comfortable enough to let me into his home. He has decorated it wonderfully!
Thank you for the kind comment!
Tony is adorable! He's got good energy! Thanks for the tour. I could make due with no kitchen but the bathroom situation would take a little getting use to. =)
Tony has great taste, love the idea of painting a faux headboard, so smart.
So beautifully decorated!
What a fabulous style, energy and personality he has!
thank you so much!!
He made great use of his space. This helps us see what all you can do in a tight space. Good job Nyasia❣
I think so too!
Thank you!
I love what he has done with the space he's with! Nice vibe and energy and his personality matches his style and decor. I hope one day I can utilize space like that with things cuz I have way too much. So thanks for the inspiration.
Love it! So artsy and well designed space. Fun to get to know people and their spaces 😊
I couldn't without feeling trapped but kudos to him for the fabulous decorating! If he's not into interior design, he should be. He has an eye for quirky, high end style. The kind of stuff you'd see in Elle Decor.
I love how he decorated his tiny apartment. He’s a cool guy overall.
Thanks!
You did a great job. It looks cozy, functional and comfortable!!
Wow, loved this so much! I've been subscribed for awhile but haven't had time to watch many of your videos. I absolutely loved his space and how clean it is. I also, surprisingly, thought the wall decal was one of the highlights - it's such an inviting and lovely font and just really makes the space seem cozy and modern.
His place looks so welcoming and homey. Thanks for sharing with us!
So glad you enjoyed!
Thanks!
Where Did He Purchase, The Large Oversized Mirrors? Please, Do Share.
@@martinejames8739 Ikea Mongstad but its discontinued.
I admire him for being able to breathe in that space. Wow!
Amazing what you did with the space. I love the play with scale and contrast. I can’t wait to look at your channel.
Thanks!
Looks great. Thank you guys for sharing.
I think he did that! His personality came through in every single detail he touched we really got a sense of who he was as a person. I think we liked the apartment but we loved him. ☺️
Wow... that's very sweet! thank you!
Congratulations 💛 also the app looked fantastic! I love the black in the space. Like industrial but modern you know? Anyway loved this video! I can binge all day, im kinda nosy. It's fascinating to see how others live in city life.
Thank you!
I'm kinda nosy as well...that's why I love doing these videos :)
I love what he's done with it!!!
I love it! It's beautiful.
Hi there beautiful, this is dope and he is super creative. I love it. Cannot wait to see his transition into his new apartment. I’m a New Yorker who relocated to Atlanta. I know what it’s like to live in a tiny space. I love your videos.
I'm excited to see what he does with the space as well. Hope you're enjoying ATL :)
Thank you so much!
@@PopLifeCreative You’re very welcome 😉
Great video such a difference seeing a tiny place decorated! He definitely could help so many people like their tiny rooms so much more! He. Ould design a tiny bus card! Lol
I totally agree. It's so helpful for people living in small spaces to get inspiration...especially since he did such a great job!
Haha thanks!
The high ceiling and windows are it for me 😍. Plus he makes great utilization of his space 👏.
Super organized!
“Decided to go with a twin size bed.” 😂😂😂 as if there was space for anything else. This is basically an over designed dorm room. I will never understand people who voluntarily live in NYC.
Lmaoooo. Freshmam dorm rooms are bigger than that. I cant get over when he said the bathroom gets cleaned 3x a week. Whaaaattt??? 4 ppl use it and it ONLY gets cleaned 3x a week???? Yukkkkkk. I dont get why ppl put up with these micro living spaces in NYC or LAor other places. If enough ppl refused to rent out these types of "apartment" space, the realtors will think twice about putting them up for rent. You cant even breathe in something so tiny.
Not all apartments in New York look like this 🙄. Only if u live in Manhattan
@@octaviacoaxum8459
Obviously not. I’ve been to NYC for trips. I’ve seen a number of apartments.
What I was implying is the cost of living isn’t worth what you get living in NYC.
People who are willing to pay that much, are paying for the lifestyle. I personally don't think it's worth it, but to each their own.
Although I wouldn’t live in a spot this size I did for 6 months when I first got here. Don’t worry, we don’t understand people like u. You’re either built for this city or not. I can move back to beautiful California any day but I don’t want to
I love his aesthetic! Very sleek and it as long as you're organized, it seems like it's got the space. I hope the new place has it's own bathroom! Honestly, I can do without a kitchen and have a makeshift something - but no bathroom just for myself is always a deal breaker!
Thank you so much! The bathroom situation is totally do-able. It really depends on who the other "sharers" are lol. I lucked out in my case and got 3 really clean neighbors who i get along with. I shared with roommates in the past and this is WAY better lol.
Exciting and vibrant ~ loving life! Video is uplifting!
Thank you so much for that tour of someone living in a tiny apartment, it makes a huge difference when you see it in person....I could honestly say that even though I have never lived in New York, that I will never look at small/tiny apartments the same way again
Brooo! It’s the shirts for me! 🔥🔥
😃 😃 😃
This is the apartment version of the tiny house nation for houses. Hope it doesn’t go down that same road. Saw this cute house that I was going to check into, 1 bdrm/bath, 400 sq feet. It’s a modular, on a foundation house - 120k for the house, plus set up and utility/electrical. So about 160k - for 400 sq ft. 😳
Thank you so much for showing daily life in small spaces! I feel like there is not nearly enough videos of people living in actually tiny spaces on the internet, other than tiny homes but those are usually specially built with clever storage and not really relatable unless you are living in one.
While I don't live anywhere near New York or any big city, I live out in the country but rent a small garage apartment shared with 3 other people and while we have a shared small kitchen and tiny bathroom, 95% of my stuff has to fit in a 120 sq ft room. I got a lot of good tips from this video! The pop of color over the bed as a "headboard" was brilliant! I find small space living very cozy, easy to keep clean, and spend much of my time outdoors anyway.
Oh my goodness. I am so impressed. He is creative and immaculate at the same time. He has the mind of a genius. This is absolutely gorgeous. I would be so intimidated to take on a space so tiny and make it feel like home. Wow.
Oh heck no to that shared bathroom with 3 other people that aren't family or there for the sake of schooling. My hats off to him for his positive vibes, and welcoming space, but I am tap dancing at the fact that he is upgrading to a new space I pray he has running water in this one.
Hotels have 20 000 guests a year and we walk in happy and bright...lol altho i do agree ....you have rush hr in the bathroom in the morning ...
For someone interested in interior design I think a tiny (micro lol) apartment is also a creative exercise, and I think Tony did an amazing job! He showed his talent in organizing and designing his space. I’ll be following him!!
Thank you so much! Living in a tiny space has taught me SO much about how to prioritize the important things in life! It has definitely been a space of personal growth for me!
It’s the ultimate test of creativity. So much function to fit in one space takes lots of skill!
I have kids so I could never... but I absolutely LOVE what he’s done with the space and I’m so inspired to make better use of what I have, double duty furniture and simple but sleek design💗
Omg love it!!! And I love him can’t wait to watch his channel 💗
Come on over!
