THE FIRST APARTMENT WAS THE BEST.
Hi there! Are you able to tell me the name of Apartment 1? I have been researching online for months and have not come across anything like it in that price range. Thank you!
As a fellow apartment dweller, I feel you about the carpet. However, carpet does help keep the noise down between apartments. Most of the newer complexes here in Texas will put hardwoods in the first floor units and then carpet everything else above for soundproofing. I love the apartment you chose! It's gorgeous!!!
Thank You Melissa! You're totally right, that's the one good thing about carpet - the sound proofing!
They all were nice. However, my faves were the 2 units in the suburbs. Trees all around make these my first choice.
Yeah all those trees made it hard to resist!
Congratulations on your new apartment. I’m so happy for the two of you. I absolutely loved apartment 2. It seemed so homey. I’ve always loved living out a ways. I cannot wait to see what you do with the new space.
Thank you Amanda! Yeah living out a ways definitely had its appeal, but we just couldn't tear ourselves away from city life 😊
Congrats on the new place! Randomly came across this video and really enjoyed it, especially as a Seattleite who is searching for a new apartment. Can’t wait to watch more of your channel. My boyfriend and I have been looking for an apartment for years! The heinous carpet struggle is real! I feel like 90% of the listings I see have it-even in new construction. Why?? So nasty. That and the dark caves are my dealbreakers. Looks like you found a good one!
I just watched your video! Congrats to the three of you moving onto your next adventure. I would have chosen number two. I love the spacious floor plan as well as all the closet space and well living amongst the trees is definitely more my vibe. Apartment number one would have been my second choice.
Yay I’m glad you chose apartment 1!!!! I was hoping you would! Congratulations 🍾
Yaaay thank you Crystal!
Congrats Steffi, Kobee & Helo! I was torn between 1 & 2, but loved the gym as well as the rooftop 1 had. Can't wait to see how you tackle the closet conundrum. Also, how you mesh your & Kobe's style. Helo will absolutely love all those windows!
Yes she will! I think her mind is going to be blown living in a new space, haha. I hope she isn't too overwhelmed!
Congratulations! Your new apartment is so spacious and beautiful.😍 Can't wait to see how you decorate it!!
Thank you Serra! I'm SO excited to show the whole decor process!
So freaking excited for you guys! It's absolutely beautiful!!! 🤩
Aw thank you Kat! We're SO EXCITED. I'm like, can February be over already? It's like waiting for Christmas 😂
Omg, I am SO excited to see what you do with the new apartment!!! Congrats :)
Thank you!! I'm SO excited to show every step of the process!
Congrats on the new place! The first one was technically the best option; I personally liked that cement column/accent in the last space but it would be a challenge to furnish around. I think you both chose well, and I’m looking forward to see this process! (More content from you is always a great!)
Aw thank you!!
I loved following you on this journey. Perfect apartment choice. Sammamish is a bit sleepy. Have fun decorating and I can't wait to see your design magic.
Thank you Aunt Melissa! Love you!!
Good choice - SO agree with you on the carpet - seems standard in bedrooms for so many apartments - look forward to seeing the decorating - thanks for sharing!
My pleasure! Yeah carpet is so standard, which I find so confusing 😂
Congrats Hon! I loved number one as well. I will miss your old place, it is so lovely! Can't wait to see what you do in the new one! xo
Thank you Laura! Oh man, I'm going to miss this studio SO MUCH. I'm so emotionally tied to it, but simultaneously I'm so ready for the next chapter!
Congrats! Apt 1 looks beautiful! I hate carpeted floors too! So the hard wood makes it ten times better
Thank you Lour! Yeah that was a big factor in the decision, at least for me. Kobee doesn't hate carpeting as passionately as I do 😂
Congratulations! Beautiful flat. The views are absolutely amazing
Thank you Leslie! We were stunned by the view. Neither of us have lived so high up before!
I love the one you chose... congratulations! I can't wait to watch you decorate it.
Thank you Tammy! I can't wait to show every part of the decor process!
Oh wow, good for you and your man (and your familiar)! Seattle was my home for 8 years and I was raised in NY. So I get being a city girl all your life. I also traveled a lot in my life, so city life plus traveling has been exhausting.. so I moved out to the quiet northern part of the Mid West. A much needed change of pace.
I lived in downtown near Pike Place Market when I first moved there, then I lived in Lower Queen Anne, and then Ballard - but there's so much to love about each district there, CH is so cool! My usual haunt was ID. Can't help it, I'm a weeb at heart!
Congratulations steffie apartment one is beautiful. It was also my favorite. Can't wait to see what you will do with the space
Thank you Lara! We're moving in next week and I can't wait!
I’m late in my comment, but I discovered your channel yesterday, and I’m working my way thru the videos. I’m enjoying them so much, and I would have picked #1 as well. There are always work arounds for closets. It helps that I am a minimalist, especially with clothes. I would love to have hardwood floors in my mobile, but I have become a bit of a fall risk as I have gotten older, so my doctor advised against hardwood and rugs 😢. I hope you really enjoy the apartment, and I’m off to see how you have decorated it !
Congratulations - I definitely would’ve chosen Apartment #1 as well, you guys made an excellent choice. I can’t wait until you decorate it to see what you do to make it yours. Looking forward to it.
Thank you Marcia! We're so excited!
Congratulations on the new apartment I can't wait to see the new one all decorated and set up 🙂
Thank you!! It's going to be SO FUN to show the decorating process!
Apartment 2 was amazing!!!!
I've never heard of community areas and roof gardens here in London.... looks amazing!!!
Also, I’m excited to see your closet solutions 🙌🏼
Omggg I'm soooo excited for you guys!! As soon as I saw the windows in #1 I was practically drooling. 😂 I LOVE these types of videos because I LOVEEEEE looking at apartment spaces lol! I couldn't figure out which one you guys would choose between 1 and 2 and in the end I was kinda praying it would be #1 despite the closet space because THOSE WINDOWS! Personally I would probably choose #2 because I'm more a suburban girl (I had to look up what suburban was tbh I never knew the differences) and busy cities make me kinda anxious, but for you guys I think you absolutely chose the best spot for you! Also I wanted to react to the price: at first I was like "whoaaaa that's expensive!" but thinking again... I live in Silicon Valley, and for $2400 that would maybe get you a REALLY nice studio or a decent (non-remodeled) CARPETED 2 bedroom 🤪 Oooh I'm soooo excited to see how you guys decorate this space! Moving in especially is always such a challenge, so I'm most excited to see your unpacking journey and see how you guys incorporate style in the process!!! Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Aw THANK YOU Keiko! I'm sooo excited, and I can't wait to show the whole process!!
Can't wait to see the new apartment after you decorate it. Good luck.
You and me both! Thank you!
Congrats on your new apartment!! Can't wait to see how you style it. I am looking to move into a studio in Seattle this summer, would you ming sharing what building this studio is in?
Congrats on the new place! I have to start apartment searching again since I need to move to a more college-affordable place, so I'm bummed to leave my dreamy space but excited to try something new
Aw I understand feeling bummed about leaving a dreamy space! I'm not necessarily bummed about leaving this studio, but I'm definitely emotional about it. Trust that you'll be able to make your next space just as dreamy, regardless of how much more affordable it is!
as an apartment dweller, I can understand your feeling about carpeting, the hardwood is so much more pleasing. But as a sound barrier, carpeting is a must. It buffers both lower and upper apartment noises.
Cooool. I’m moving into my new apartment in west Seattle March 5th! I found your channel today searching for of examples of furnished studio apartments. Found your old content and this video posted today! I can’t wait to see what you do with your new apartment 😊
Aw fun! West Seattle is soooo pretty, congratulations!
@@ModaMisfit ❤️
#1 is STUNNING! Good pick :)
Thank you, Amber! I wish you could see it in person, it's even more stunning than the footage!
I’m glad I found you and we have the same funny sense of humor, yiu. Are me laugh.
We are moving into a condo (928sq) and I’m so happy to find your ideas that fit my taste. Thanks
Congratulations!!😁 I really loved all three apartments! The one I would’ve probably chosen would have been apartment number 3. The space there is phenomenal! I can picture a mobile island in the kitchen, the storage was so great and I would’ve used the concrete piece in the bedroom as part of my decorative inspiration♥️ Good luck to you both on a Wonderful journey ahead!☺️
Thank you so much Alvita!!
I would've tried wrapping it with rope or something for a cat to climb
Yeah! Glad you chose #1. Like you I hate carpet. Won’t live anywhere that has it. The views are fantastic. I couldn’t give up living downtown either. The convenience can’t be beat. You can always put a clothing rack in the bedroom to hang your in-season clothes on. My place has the same GE appliances. They must give apartments a great deal. Good luck with the move! I’m sure Helo will be content in your new home.
Thank you Jill! Haha it'll be very interesting to see how Helo reacts to this change. This studio is her little sanctuary and she's so neurotic that I wouldn't surprised if she takes a while to get used to the new space! And yep, exactly, we really just couldn't give up the downtown lifestyle 😊
I love number one! Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉
Yaaay thank you Gina!
I thought #3, dark and moody I thought was up your alley. They were all beautiful. Glad you found a great apartment that you love. Wow, I thought Miami was expensive!
Thank you so much! Haha yeah Seattle rent is getting ridiculous 😅 And it's funny, I love dark and moody, but I want dark/moodiness to be on MY terms (my decor choices), not because the space is already dark, you know? I do love a ton of natural light paired with my dark moody decor!
I would have chosen #1 as well.
Mostly because you didn’t mention a gym with #3… which led me to think there wasn’t one.
I think you picked a lovely unit and can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Congratulations!
Thank you Amy! There actually was a gym with #3 that I didn't get footage of. It was pretty unremarkable to be honest - kind of small and not a lot of stuff in it! Pretty hard to beat the gym in #1 haha
Good luck to the both of you.Your new place will show you both.Live together a happy life.
Thank you so much Cathrine!!
Your Welcome
Hey what happen Are you going to be back on you tube .What happen to your new place
I would have chosen apartment #1 as well. Congrats to you both!
Thank you Rocio!! We're so excited!
I picked apt 1 even though there was lack of closet space. The view and the gym were just wow the large windows also made it look so much bigger #2 was beautiful but the change from city to suburbs can be really hard especially when your no ready for that. #3 was nice but lacked great natural lighting and felt too closed in for my personal taste.
You pretty much summed up my exact feelings!
Congrats! I’m moving to a one bedroom next Friday, can’t wait to see new one bedroom Apt content 🤙🏽🖤
Oooh fun! So now you must be in the middle of getting settled in your new apartment at this point! How's it going??
@@ModaMisfit It's going great overall but I did have a little mishap on moving day, my awesome sectional sofa did not fit in the service elevator or the stairs, I had to purchase new ones 🙄
@@ox1288. Oh no!! That's a nightmare situation when it comes to moving!
Congrats because the one you chose is beautiful! Would love to know where #3 was then. 😅
I move into my studio March 1st too & I’ve been binging your videos lol
Aw yay, congrats on the new studio!! We'll be moving at the same time! Hope my videos help!
Definitely #1. The windows were so great! You can overcome storage space issues but living in a dark place without a lot of natural light is *depressing*. And I just didn't think you were ready to head to the 'burbs. I'm in Vancouver BC (as opposed to Vancouver WA, just before you get to Portland) but I have friends in Seattle and have always liked both Capitol Hill and the area around U Dub. Right DT is a bit intense for me. But it's nice to be able to see the city. As for the price, well, there are 2 of you now so that's a bit easier to bear. I'm in a 500 sq ft Laneway house because I literally can't afford a 1 bedroom. And I have a killer deal on this place, where I've been for almost 5 years. Spatially, it's easier now that my teen is away at school and we're down to me and my poodle!
Congrats Steffie and Kobee! What a great apartment (I'm secretly jealous!). Choosing among the 3 options would have been quite easy for me as I'm allergic to dust (yup, it's a thing) and carpets are a huge NO. This said, even without carpets in the other 2 my choice would still be the same as you guys!
Thank you Lisa! Oh man, being allergic to dust must be horrible! Haha you wouldn't last 2 minutes in my current apartment - this place is constantly coated in dust no matter how much I clean. 😅 I blame our ceiling fan!
Best of luck in your move!
Thank you Beth! It's coming up SO SOON, I'm so excited!
Apartment number one is great as far as a big city apartment goes. It has those windows which are amazing! However for me, I would’ve chose apt number two, those views!!! I would love to have a view like that because I am tired of looking at the parking lot out of the windows of my apartment😆
Haha YES those views in #2 were pretty hard to say no to. When I was showing Kobee this video after I was done editing it, when those views came up I was like "damn, that would've been nice..." haha. But we're both such city people, we just can't tear ourselves away from downtown! We both agree that maybe someday we'll move that exact apartment building in Sammamish because it was so lovely!
Congratulations! I would have chosen apt 3, but in 2's location lol! I would have used the concrete column as a gallery wall, and covered the rug with a big ass rug haha
Haha I was already thinking in my head "we'll have to get a room-sized rug to deal with this" 😂
When he moved in with you I was surprised a studio would fit two people. Glad you got more space
Haha it's been a challenge, but him living with me in this studio was always meant to be temporary until the lease is up here! Now we're sooo ready for a 1 bedroom 😊
Here from Instagram and am soo proud of my girl Stephie🤗🤗💯💯also happy because i'll finally get more styling tips on a larger apartment💃💃💞💞
Yaaay I'm so excited for you to see the upcoming videos, Sonia! I seriously can't wait to make them 🤗
I loved the sub berbs.I love trees and that had plenty. ❤
Ohhh it was SO pretty, and being surrounded by all those trees felt amazing!
It did look amazing. I do agree with you about carpets. I would love to have hardwood floors myself. ❤
How exciting! Does Kobe like your decorating style and will he be cool with you taking the lead on the decorating or will it involve combining styles and compromises? If your styles are different, how would you describe his style?
Yes luckily Kobee loves my style and has very similar tastes! And while we're definitely going to be collaborating, he acknowledges that I'll basically be "head interior stylist" in this situation, haha.
I definitely liked the first apartment the most. As a pet sitter in Seattle, I have seen several different types of apartments.
Ooh so you have some great insight on what apartments are looking like here! Yeah the first one was pretty wonderful, we move in next week and I can't wait!
Congratulations! I wish I could move in to your apartment as is. 😉 I would have chosen #2, but loved the openess of the one you chose. Excited to see what you do with it.
Thank you Patti! haha I've actually spent some time thinking about the next person who moves into this studio, not realizing that their new apartment is ALL OVER CZcams, Instagram, and Pinterest 😂 I almost want to leave a note for them saying "want help decorating this place? Here's what I did..." lol
@@ModaMisfit ☺
An exciting time for you and Kobee! But you must feel a certain sadness that a particular period of your life is over.
Oh totally. It feels like the end of a very meaningful era for me!
Congratulations! Exciting for these next steps! So cool that you will have a balcony too!! It will be awesome to see you tackle the closet space! Have a safe and fun move!🌈🦋
Thank you Sunny! I'm going to document every step of the process, including the closet conundrum! Actually I think my next video will be about my main solution for that issue... 😉
Yayyyyyyy! Beautiful, would be my choice too!
Thank you!!
👏🏼 not all wood looking floors are “hardwood” floors. That first apartment seems like wood laminate
Apartment 1 was my choice too...the light!!! I lived in the suburbs, never again!!!!!!
Since the bathroom has two doors maybe block off the bedroom door by putting a storage unit in front of it.
Ah there's an idea! We'll probably want to keep the bathroom accessible from the bedroom, but we have something in mind that I think will be very helpful! I think my next video will be about shopping for that thing... 🤗
I think the first was my favorite apartment, but this is where the difference in age and lifestyle comes in, I would've chose the burbs! To each his own, eh?!
Haha very true! It all really comes down to the lifestyle you prefer 😊
Great video! I am also looking for a new apartment. I liked the 1 & 2. Can you please tell the names of these apartments please. It would be of great help to me. Thanks!
Girl, I live in CapHill. And let me tell you, the rent prices are ridiculous! It's either you get a big closet and a shower and no tub, or a bathroom with a tub but with no closet. LMAO you can never win.
Hi! You chose the right one. You are not the type of person who would be happy in the suburbs. Not now. In a several days I leave the country life and go back to the city. You will handle the closet challenge, I'm sure.
Congrats!!
Thank you!!
Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Kathye!
It's so funny to hear "lack of closet space" as a con because in other countries (I live in Germany) there isn't ANY closet space at all! You're expected to buy/bring your own closets, which is why those ikea wardrobes are so popular. I live in a 4-room apartment in Berlin and I have zero built-in closets. I would have picked the same apartment as you, given the choices!
This is interesting to know! Thanks for sharing… I have a better understanding/refine perspective of IKEA’s popularity overseas. 🙂
Hahaha so fascinating! Europe has such a different way of going about things - like, I remember seeing episodes of House Hunters International in Europe where the washer/dryer is commonly IN THE KITCHEN. 😂 To an American that's pretty mind blowing haha
@@ModaMisfit Having the laundry machine in the kitchen or bathroom is very common in Germany! I have mine in the bathroom, but in my first apartment here it was in the kitchen. It has to do with the water lines, and people don't have dedicated laundry rooms here.
Noooooooooooooo !!!!!! I love your studio.
Haha I understand, Giovanna! A part of me is feeling like "nooooo!" too, because I love this studio so much. But I'm definitely ready for this next chapter! Two people living in a studio is definitely not ideal, haha
i also hate carpets unless i can palce mini ones myself
I like rural city.
Number 1 minimize closet crap yeah win wi n❤️❤️❤️
Oooh that's a great way of looking at it, Kathye! It's an opportunity to minimize and shed unneeded stuff!
I’m just curious about your choice of apartment number one...where do you plan to put the litter box?
Good question! That hallway closet with the washer and dryer has space for a litter box. And if that ends up not feeling right, we'll look into getting a litter box cabinet!
Is homelessness/safety a concern for the capitol hill/SLU area?
I probably would have chosen apartment 3. LOL is there a nearby Public storage type place for a closet?
We can actually rent some storage space in our new building! But we're going to do our best to not add on the extra expense. It'll definitely be an interesting challenge!
10:46 3rd apartment
I knew it❤️❤️❤️
Hahaha as I was editing the video, I was thinking to myself "I feel like it might be too obvious which one we chose..." 😂
congrats
Thank you!!
I like #2
It was so pretty right? 😊
Could you be able to give name the apartment no.1?
No 3 😁😁😁😁😁
It was a good one, Rhonda! That concrete pillar though... haha I just couldn't deal with it 😂
Hi! I would love to find the second apartment that you found in samamish, if you could give me the name or address I would really appreciate it.
If you were to purchase a place, would you prefer apartment or a house?
You live across the street from me 😅
And the samammish one is less than 5 min from my sister lol
I know that loop 😅
❤
❤️💕
I couldn't live in Samamish like tht. I have to be close to stores. Some place I could walk to.
I can only justify carpet on stairs and that is solely because our stair steps are super narrow so it is for safety but I don't like it
Ooooh yeah there's something very scary about hardwood stairs!

YES! We pretty much have no choice 😂
are u a millennial
Apt 1 would be my choice. Congratulations on YOUR choice. Ironic, my move to Seattle began in Capital Hill. I did not sense you were living in Capital Hill throughout your videos. Very cool dear heart. Now to pack.
Haha YES packing time is nigh! Thank you Jane!
