Here’s a little tip for more storage. You can purchase risers for your bed at Bed Bath and Beyond (or other places). The risers are like 4 to 6 inches. This will create an area to store many things. Use plastic bins under the bed to keep things easy accessible and organized.
I use them for my desk which is actually one of those plain white tabletops from Ikea with the white screw on legs. I needed it higher to fit my rolling cart. 🙂 Those risers are the best, they have round ones and square ones,and now they even have them in other colors besides black. 😉
I have a platform bed that has 6 very large baskets underneath. 2 on each side and 2 on the end. I can’t help but think this would be a great bed for a studio apt. If you have the floor space for a queen bed.
You can get large wood cutting board to fit over sink. Got that idea from another apartment tour. I also live in a medium - large studio. Probably more medium. Have large kitchen can fit 27-30 in metal pub table that fits stools. My studio is large enough to not feel cramped. I have 2 windows. I really like my studio. Storage is a very big problem & getting rid of things I don’t really need but not ready to let go. Nice tour
Your dresser should be a easy fix. You need to take out drawers, turn dresser upside down. My guess is that the foundations woods that supports the dresser have cracked. Measure for pieces that are damage go to home depot with measurements and pictures of the dresser underside. When home you will need to remove damage wood and replace with new pieces. I think your dad would be the perfect person to assist you with the Manuel labor 😊
Living alone as a young single woman is one of the best pleasures in life. I remember my first apartment - small as heck old as heck - but I loved it. Have lived in bigger and much more expensive places including a real house and then with family - all good but living alone as a young gal was so so so fun. Enjoy it!
Love your studio and cat. I enjoy watching tours of cat owners. I'm slowly trying to be minimal and have function in my space.Literbox in the shower seems like a good idea.
The clear chair is actually very good in a small space as you can see through it and it doesn't seem to clutter the space up. Clear shower curtain, I use one and they are like less than 4 at Walmart. If you wanted more natural light in the bathroom, they make these frosted blocks that measure 8 x 6 x 3" and you can stack them on top of each other. Depending on how wide your window is you could effectively buy enough to fill the window and get lots of natural light and privacy as well. Wish I could upload a pic here. I just found some on-line at Lowes, this one is a kit for 10 Pk for $132 OR you can buy frosted window film for a bit cheaper. The one I saw was 36" x 78" and it's cut-to-fit for $45. There are options for both the blocks and the film. I see storage on top of your kitchen cabinets too but you'd see the stuff and you'd need a foldable stool to get to the stuff and you could hide that under bed. I like the bed-riser idea. I have risers under my couch. I tell ya, if you walk through a Lowes/Home Depot or any hardware type store, you can get all kinds of ideas. Thrift stores are awesome too. Your palette is endless. What you've done looks GREAT, Reese!!
You’ve done a great job setting it all up in your style. I have a kitchen window that I feel like people can see into so I put decorative window film on the lower half which allows light in and helps feel safer. Also the thrift store can be a great place to pick up things you need at great prices. You can also buy a behind the door organizer ( it hangs on the door) for all your misc stuff and I even keep my underwear and socks right there where I need them.
Love your studio apt. Reminds me of mine in 1972. Mine was hippy vibe back then. Haha!✌💞I've been refurbishing old furniture for 45 years. I can tell you now that your dresser would have fallen apart...movers or not. They just don't make furniture like the use to. Your best bet would be to find a cheap used dresser and refurbish it yourself. You could make a video about it. Give it a boho vibe. You could buy a dresser and all the supplies to refurbish it for around a $150 and it would last you forever. Measure the space it would go at before you start searching. I have a good suggestion for the type of dresser that would look gorgeous boho vibed up that would match your big mirror frame. An antique oak dresser from 1900-1920. You could refurbish it in your local friends basement and use chalk paint as your main paint for just the frame of the dresser like in black and leave the drawer fronts original wood color. (A metallic paint would be boho vibe.) Then use wax afterwards. You could also get a transfer in a boho vibe to add to the front. You could refurbish it in segments and just spend a few hours a day for 3 days. If interested watch some video's on chalk painting dressers on CZcams. Then you'll have a prized piece of furniture to keep forever that will not fall apart like furniture does this day and time. ✌😊
Hi Reese, awesome job with your cute little apartment. It's nice to have a small space and decorate to your liking instead of having a large apartment full of stuff you really don't need. May I suggest for more space in the kitchen for chopping and preparing food go to either Lowes/Home Deport or a store that sells pull out shelf similar to back in the old days with the ironing board pulled out from the wall. It would allow you space then when you are finished with it, you just pull it up to the wall. Blessings from Virginia.
Reses the next time dads down in Florida, have him help you get some small wood blocks or a peice of wood . That would help with your dresser . Your doing so well with your place ,great channel!!
Reese, I love how you designed the space of your apartment with your furniture. 💛 The footage with details isn’t too long. Thanks for sharing! I hope you get 100k subscribers soon! Regarding organizing, are you allowed or able to put floating shelves on the wall? Maybe that could be an option to give you more space to put or hang things… Your apartment is so cute ☺️
Just a suggestion... if you do decide to do a little meal prep, there are cutting boards you can get that fit over any standard size sink, which gives you a little extra counter space too, if you need it...
I really like the layout of your apartment because it is really fit perfectly for living by myself alone. I don't need more space. That is really enough. Oh I forget to say hi to Jojo. She is so adorable
I’d love to come you your place, I could help you so much. You actually have a fair amount of room you aren’t using to the fullest. I’ve lived in apartments all my life and you learn things. Somehow I ended up in a 1400 sq foot double wide mobile home in San Diego. Yea, my space problems are mostly in the past. And it’s super nice
Get plastic storage containers w/lids from the dollar store, for the things in those drawers, and you’ll see how organized it could be.👍😊. Love the studio!
there is a way to fix the dresser: get a brick or two and put it underneath, in the middle, exactly as you said. It looks like a very nice piece, and is probably heavy, which is why it is collapsing. I actually think that if you take out all the drawers and then put the dresser on its head, you might find there was sthg there originally which supported the structure and the weight, and this is what the movers destroyed.
I love your new home set up ….. you’ve used the space creatively….. and Jojo is such a sweetie…. I hope you get some expert advice on how to mend your dresser cause it’s a lovely piece…. Take care …. Please don’t leave valuables in the bag by the door xx
Your apartment is so cute, I love your style. Since you’re in a small apartment may I recommend a specific cat litter that is a game changer. It’s worth every penny I no longer smell the cat litter. You can only buy it at Petco. It’s called Sustainably Yours.
I really think you have a beautiful place and ,I love how you decorated but ,I would do something just a little different first of all I would put the couch by the window you want the sunlight there and also to be able too look out when your on the couch..second I would put the bed where the couch is and where you plant is sitting on the floor I would get a plant stand for that's.. just a suggestion but ,I got to tell you you got a cute little place
I remember getting myself an herb garden set before getting my first studio and it laying around, not assembled, for the entire time I lived there. I think I still have it. That apartment was 18 m², btw.
I love your style, girl! Nice job! One little thing though... Salt lamps are so cool, people (including me) love them, but keep Jojo away from it! Cats are sometimes drawn to them, and will lick them...which is very unhealthy for them. A friend of mine caught her cat doing that, and he developed a severe illness called salt toxicity. It's that curiosity thing... but salt lamps are also toxic to dogs... Jojo is so adorable, I'd hate to see him get sick.
My 1st apartment was an efficiency like yours and It worked out wonderful for me I lived there for 3 years and I absolutely loved love that it was easy to keep clean and it worked out good for just me The one downfall that I had was not being able to hook up A portable orchard and dryer I had to go to the wonder mat and I hate doing Laundry at the laundry mat because you don't know what's been in that washer before you That was the one thing that I wished it had wasn't was a worship driver connection I'm excited for you I moved out when I was 18 years old
Not sure if I heard you right but you said that you wash some of the litter down the shower drain. If so, this is not a good idea. You will eventually block your shower drain.
I am about to move into a studio apartment as well and been trying to figure out to put both a bed and couch in or just a couch that folds into a bed. It’s hard to decide . Thanks for some inspo.
Love your studio flat, but as a grandma I hope you don't mind me saying , it might not be wise to tell people which bag you put your purse in and where you keep it . Other people may not be as sweet as you. Hope you enjoy your independence days

Yes I did this when I first got pregnant, didn’t want to live with anyone but couldn’t afford something huge unserved storage is perfect!
I was going to recommend under bed storage too! They have a kind that rolls under the bed and they seal well in moist climates.
I use them for my desk which is actually one of those plain white tabletops from Ikea with the white screw on legs. I needed it higher to fit my rolling cart. 🙂 Those risers are the best, they have round ones and square ones,and now they even have them in other colors besides black. 😉

I agree. It is an experience all women should have in their young years. I felt the same way as you did with my first.
I find that rolling my clothes in drawers, allows me to put in more stuff. Perhaps you could try that with your bathing suits. Great Job decorating!
You’ve done such a nice job fitting everything into such a small space!

Looks great! Love how bright it feels
Cute apartment Reese! You are doing so good out on your own. Sending prayers your way from Tennessee. 💞
I am so VERY happy for you, sweetie!! I wish you the best as you discover yourself and find your own way in this beautiful lifetime!!
Thank you for the room tour!! It looks wonderful!!
Reese.. hats off to you... You've actually done a neat job keeping the apartment.. with the necessities.. looks cool and efficient. Well done. 👌.
Nice set up you have. Very compact but you have what you need. You did a great job of decorating!! Thanks for sharing.
You did a great job with the space you have, it’s really cute and homey. Take care and have a blessed day.💕💕💕💕💕
Cute place you got Reese! 🥰 So happy to see you're uploading again. Your footage is not too long ^_^❤
It is so cute! I love it and you did a great job making it so cozy!
Your litter box system is genius.
you should consider getting a little cat hammock that can attach to the window so she can nap and enjoy the sunlight in her fav spot : )
Reese, your skin is glowing!!
your aesthetic for the apartment is literally chefs kiss
Perfect for you..proud of you for being so independent💛💛
I absolutely love how you set up your apartment

Reese, your studio apartment is so cozy. You are a very good decorator.
Super cute! You've done such a good job decorating 🤗
beautiful!!!! you really have some great ideas for a small apartment. love it!!!!
It is the cutest apartment ever! It works for you!

You did a great job of putting everything together love you
Love you so much reese 🥰

Omg so close to 100k!! 😩❤️
Finally!!!😍😍😍 Sending love from Philippines🇵🇭😘💕
Yay! You are almost at 100,000 subcribers girl! 😀👏
Cute and "handy" homesetting, Reese!! Enjoy!!
Cute! You have done a great job making it fit your personality!
It is a really sweet homely apartment Reese. Well done on the decor .very best wishes from the UK.
Reese, I love how you designed the space of your apartment with your furniture. 💛 The footage with details isn’t too long. Thanks for sharing! I hope you get 100k subscribers soon!

Just a suggestion... if you do decide to do a little meal prep, there are cutting boards you can get that fit over any standard size sink, which gives you a little extra counter space too, if you need it...
You could have a nice looking basket in the weird gap on the fridge for utensils and measuring cups or anything else you could think of!
I could be wrong but you could probably put in a claim to the movers for the dresser. They should be insured and bonded for such issues.
I really like the layout of your apartment because it is really fit perfectly for living by myself alone. I don't need more space. That is really enough. Oh I forget to say hi to Jojo. She is so adorable
Hey Reese !!! Love you !!!
I’d love to come you your place, I could help you so much. You actually have a fair amount of room you aren’t using to the fullest. I’ve lived in apartments all my life and you learn things. Somehow I ended up in a 1400 sq foot double wide mobile home in San Diego. Yea, my space problems are mostly in the past. And it’s super nice
My favorite part is your KITCHEN! 😁😁
Very cute place!! And so close to the beach!
Place looks beautiful!🥰
Really cool apartment Reese👍have a blessed day👋🤗🙏💕
Loved this video 🤗
Get plastic storage containers w/lids from the dollar store, for the things in those drawers, and you’ll see how organized it could be.👍😊. Love the studio!
Your apartment is so cute. I wish I could live simplistic like that but I'm a sentimental hoarder with a thrift store shopping problem.
there is a way to fix the dresser: get a brick or two and put it underneath, in the middle, exactly as you said. It looks like a very nice piece, and is probably heavy, which is why it is collapsing. I actually think that if you take out all the drawers and then put the dresser on its head, you might find there was sthg there originally which supported the structure and the weight, and this is what the movers destroyed.
For your utensils take a look at the Ikea "fintorp" rod and hook set. If you get the cups that go on it I think it would be perfect for your kitchen!
If you are thinking about curtains. You can use command utility hooks to hold a light rod. That way you dont have to drill in a hole.
Should look into a noodle board for your stove. It will help with extra prep space.
Your apartment is super cute, I would love to live in that place! 🥰👏🏻
Also an idea for your bathroom white containers , maybe has mason jars. It will look cuter ! (My opinion of course)
I love your new home set up ….. you’ve used the space creatively….. and Jojo is such a sweetie…. I hope you get some expert advice on how to mend your dresser cause it’s a lovely piece…. Take care …. Please don’t leave valuables in the bag by the door xx
Happy for you. Hope you have a wonderful day

Your apartment is so cool, and we have the same air fryer. 😊💚🍟
Aw! You moved out? Not gonna lie, I was super intrigued and looking forward to your tiny house adventure.
Love your home reese it is so cute enjoy life in florida x
My first apartment was about your apartment size and it was my favorite to live in it was small easy to clean .
Nice little appt. Jojo is adorable.
Very beautiful, funny video, your doing a great job!!
Love your studio apartment. Try putting a 2 by 4 under the middle (front to back) of your dresser to help make the drawers even.
Cute place. Decorated very awesome for the space
I think a plant stand or ikea 4 cube kallax shelf would be so cute by the bathroom and closet. It would hold your vinyls too ☺️
Just a little tip, the rug could be a little bigger. It would make the room feel way bigger and the couch would be able to sit on it!!
Hello,thank showing us your apartment it really nice and clean and cool ,take care and a nice blessed day.🙏🙏😊❤️🤟🐈
Your studio is cute. NY cat Blake does the same. He loves sitting in the window staring out of it. Danny DeVito pillow is hilarious.
I really think you have a beautiful place and ,I love how you decorated but ,I would do something just a little different first of all I would put the couch by the window you want the sunlight there and also to be able too look out when your on the couch..second I would put the bed where the couch is and where you plant is sitting on the floor I would get a plant stand for that's.. just a suggestion but ,I got to tell you you got a cute little place
I remember getting myself an herb garden set before getting my first studio and it laying around, not assembled, for the entire time I lived there. I think I still have it. That apartment was 18 m², btw.
Love your apartment. Beautiful cat.
The wooden plate (?) which fits the sink perfectly can be a great option to have more counter space.
Very cute! Very sweet kitty
Wait! You have 100k subscribers! Wow! Hope your plaque comes soon.
I love your style, girl! Nice job! One little thing though... Salt lamps are so cool, people (including me) love them, but keep Jojo away from it!

i hope youre enjoying your new studio! i really like your cat backpack/carrier :) may i ask where did you get it or what brand is it? ♥
I love your studio home beautiful 👌👌👌
Not sure if I heard you right but you said that you wash some of the litter down the shower drain. If so, this is not a good idea. You will eventually block your shower drain.
Go to the thrift store for some cool furniture!! You need a handy person to add a center brace to ur dresser.
You’re so beautiful !!!
I am about to move into a studio apartment as well and been trying to figure out to put both a bed and couch in or just a couch that folds into a bed. It’s hard to decide . Thanks for some inspo.
Cute little apartment for your first place.
Such a cute apartment love! By the way, Are you planning to get a scratching post for your little Jojo? 🖤🐈
If you're having trouble getting the stickers off try Goo Gone or Olive oil
It is such a cute apartment! I have a cat too and I'll be moving to a studio and I'm so nervous.
Hi Reese. Your apartament is very beautiful, perfect for you💝😘🇧🇷🇧🇷
I have the same couch in the color pink. Not very comfortable but super cute lol
i had to do the same thing w my welcome mat lmao. they really do not make those things for apartment doors
Can you submit the damage to dresser to the movers or did family .ove you?
See if you can put a support on the bottom underneath. It should work.
I SEE “ON HER KNEES” by Brenda!!! Love her!
yes! love her! :))
Thank you for the tour 😍 I just wonder are you studying in Florida?
Love your studio flat, but as a grandma I hope you don't mind me saying , it might not be wise to tell people which bag you put your purse in and where you keep it
. Other people may not be as sweet as you. Hope you enjoy your independence days
She can take care of herself.
Nice work with apt god bless
Can you put a two by four underneath your dresser as a brace? Also can you put anything under your bed in an under bed storage bin?
Love your place. They say don’t pup pet food in plastic unless you keep it in the bag it makes it go bad faster.
Yes, I also read to keep it in the bag.
