Congratulations on purchasing an adorable NYC apartment. It is awesome and so are you. 😊. I think that you would enjoy your kitchen much more if you declutterred it a bit. Sometimes removing “eye clutter” can give you new perspective and even de-stress you. Example, remove all the stuff (magnets? Photos?) off your refrigerator. Store away 50% of what is on your counter tops. Maybe move some of the plants into your living room or bedroom. It would make that space more airy and open.

Thank you! Genuinely appreciate the tips!!

I was born in New York raised in Williamsburg Brooklyn. I loved it back then. We moved to Jersey 37 years ago cause this is where my parents were. Love to see apartments in New York 😊

Reach out to Alexandra Gater. She will have amazing ideas for your place.

I was going to say the same thing! AG has great ideas for small apartments!

Dogs are not meant to be in crates. I have no idea why Americans made that up

Definitely knock down the wall between the kitchen and living room! But keep the bottom half so that your kitchen becomes U-shaped and you don’t lose bottom cabinets or appliances (I forget if it is the sink or stove on that side).

I am a home organization person the first place to start is to declutter. Just do 30 minutes at a time. Maybe do your clothes first, then makeup, then the books, sometimes we hold onto items because we forget we have them. I love your apartment and the ideas you have for it. When you showed the Hudson I had a friend that lived in one of those brick buildings, I lived in Riverdale ❤❤❤

Perfectly shaped brows! Would you try Golden Brown or Light brown brows to complement the highlights of your hair? Would really soften them!

Like the blinking stove ⏰👍🏻

Love the look at your apartment! ESP living room, apartment decor is my weakness and I love seeing what other people do.

If you're here, I know you get the need to maximize every space 🙃

For your shoes. On that wall behind the table. Put cheap shelves along it. It looks like u can fit 3-4. Add curtains panels on each unit. And put the table back in front of it. It will stick out about 10 inches, not too bad.

I love your kitchen, gas stove, wall paper & kitchen window.

Cool entry voice over closet... 😎💯👍🏻

Jersey Boys!!!! Loved it. I really enjoyed my vacation. Very nice apartment. At least you own.

Already adore you- and then you drop West Wing and a Philadelphia Story image in this video and I adore you more. Your space is so charming!

Katherine Quinn; loved the built in solutions you came up with … especially your reading nook.💗 What about asking @AlexandraGater for a virtual makeover for your tricky entryway space? All best wishes. 💛

That’s what I thought too-Alexandra does AMAZING makeovers with small places!

I love your apartment. Plus you are living your dream on Broadway. What more could you ask for? ps. I kind of like your kitchen! ;)

I love it! The time will come re renovations. Enjoy the planning process. Congratulations on owning your apt. I love the wallpaper.

In that entry way that you don't like....get the Brightroom Cube Storage. It will look more pulled together, streamlined but provide a ton of storage. I don't know the size you have, but if you can do a 9 square and a 6 Square next to each other and then maybe another on top, you'd be perfect.

Your apartment is bigger than I expected for NYC. For the entryway, you could get one of those console tables that expands to a table. Some even include folding chairs. Then you would have table space and chairs when you entertain. Expand Furniture has several, but there are others.

Congrats on your beautiful place in the city. You should be so proud!

Katharine, I love to cook also. My own kitchen and your kitchen are about the same size, even though I am in Texas. Perhaps it is because the shelves behind you , while you are cooking, make you make you feel too crowded. So, I suggest you install shelves between your window and the wall to your right. If they are white, they will coordinate with your cabinets. Hang them as low and as high as you are comfortable. Individual shelves...instead of a shelving unit...can be spaced with specific items in mind, to make the best use of the space.This would both eliminate the brown shelves and the chrome shelving unit. Then, the area where the brown shelves now are could be used to hang things that don't take up so much horizontal space. In my own kitchen, I have most of my pans and cooking tools hanging on the wall. If you don't think they are presentable, Bon Amy will get rid of food stains and make you pans shine. It also helps if the things that are on display are color-coordinated in some way.

Just found your channel and had to subscribe! LOVE how original your apt is. I also live in NYC and my bedroom is my filming space, my office, my beauty room, my walk-in closet, well you get the idea... Congrats on your purchase. that Hudson River view is EVERYTHING!! HUGS from Queens. 💕

Hi friend :)

Just found this channel. The old kitchen wasn't bad. Not my colours and obvi not yours, but I liked that it was less cluttered. You need so sort of kitchen pantry by the window.

this aparment is perfect. never let it go. xxx

Thank you! It's easy to fantasize about ritzier places, but honestly everyone commenting reminds me of why I fell in love with this spot in the first place! So grateful for it.

well I loved it!!! its how real ppl live plus its organised nicely, it looks clean and not messy! I can totally understand the finally of "in the future I will ....."but if you want an advice work a little bit of your space to love it more until the renovation come.. you still live there and you need to love every corner! do some diclutter in the kitchen and was a good idea to remove the cabinets of the other wall to feel more spacious ! you can put them at the corner where you have the open storage or build a vertical cabinet to use ! sounds good to open a frame to living room but you said you cook and as a person that I cook everyday I would prefer the kitchen apart because smells stay in curtains and pillows... its a lovely apartment! well done!

I rather like your kitchen, kinda cozy as a matter of fact!…I mean, if you rate it against other NYC “kitchens” (you know, they stick a frig in an available corner and call it such), you’re doing just fine…Thanx for the tour though!

Ahhh it's the BEST 😍

Such a cute apartment!! Since you asked for advice... As for your entryway... your habits are definitely telling you that that is not an eating zone. I'd go with low level open shelving for shoes, coats, bags, incoming packages etc. That's your drop zone. You could add a folding table to that shelving unit so you can pop it out in case you have guests over, but something you can fold down when you need the space. The kitchen I'd leave like that, don't open up walls because you need the storage. Put large equipment like blenders, kitchenaid etc in a closet so your shelves in the kitchen get more breathing room. And CULL. You'd be surprised how much stuff you can give to charity instead of letting it take over your house. Since you mentioned ADHD, this video is a good one for home organisation kzread.info/dash/bejne/nJmswbCcc63dj6g.html

Cluttered house cluttered mind….

I think you can extend the kitchen into the entry but also declutter the kitchen. Way too much.

I too have mantras hanging on the wall. My favorite is, "Not my Monkey. Not My Circus." :)
