My New Apartment Tour! Decorating on a Budget!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
My 2 Bedroom Apartment Tour and how I decorated on a tight budget!-A new fresh start at 65! Me and Desi moved into a bigger apartment in the hills of Western Michigan. After 8 years I was very scared to move...I was used to where I was...but the new place was bigger with a balcony...a garage, an office, dishwasher and pantry...it would cost more per month but still, it was affordable. I bought 6 new pieces of furniture all through the Walmart.com site. What I have grown to love most of all is the sound of the woods...it is so peaceful here and I have been able to write music for the first time in years. The apartment comes in at about 920 square feet.I will have some rooms painted, order a new sofa and a few other things next spring. But what fun we will have thrifting and buying great items to decorate the empty spaces! I missed everybody so much while I was moving but truly felt I had you all cheering me on...there were some scary moments...the movers accidentally charged me twice! There was a mix up on my move-in date! And at the last minute, I was informed I have to pay monthly rent for Desi!!! But all and all, it was a flawless move wher nothing broke, and Desi and I settled in from day 1.
I think moving truly is the most exciting wonderful misery known to women!!!
Thank you for your love and prayers for Bill and thank you for being sharing this journey with me.
Love you to the moon and back,
xxoo Susan & The Dez

Oh Goodness! I am so happy you posted this! You have no idea how much your words mean to me. After 22 years living single in my home I'm moving in 30 days to a much smaller home in the next town over and I've been vacillating between excitement, fear, sadness (for leaving my home and yard), gratefulness and then back again! I'm not sleeping much b/c I'm trying to organize every aspect of the move (a bit ocd, too, I guess) in my mind. Your words of encouragement about your eleven days are exactly what I needed to hear and I'll be watching many times in the next 30 days until I find myself on the other side of this challenging adventure, too!

@@LittlePoet I think Tom Petty had it right: The waiting is the hardest part! I had my current home built after a divorce so the home and yard became my sublime space. I am 99% sure this downsizing move will be good for me and it's what I need as I turn 55 (right about the same time as my closing date), but I have loved this place so much it's hard to let go and imagine myself somewhere else. I pray I find someone to love my current home and feed the bluejays, buntings, cardinals, and squirrels! Please keep posting vids of your 'settling in' process! You have no idea how many women you are helping and mentoring by your example. PS: Google Maps shows FOUR thrift stores within a few miles of my new place! :)

@@gardenbun, excited for you, while understanding the gamut of feelings that come over us with a move. Hubby and I left a house we built in '90 ~ beautiful wooded lot, just under an acre ~ with plenty of space for our family. Now all three kids' families are located in the SW area of our state, so we made the leap to move & downsize! Not easy and yet so joyful to be near all the kids, six grandsons, as well as our six day old granddaughter! It's a new season and lots of adjustments for our late sixties! :)!! Praying for all to go well with you, a smooth process, and your mind to be at ease. Be encouraged ~ best wishes and hugs to you! ~ Susan

I don't know why but the things I choose do not flow and it turns into a random mess, LOL. Oh well, at least my daughter seems to have the artistic eye!

She is truly a lovely person. I lost my son a year ago and she took the time to write something. Made my day.
Well! This is what a home should look like. Warm, personal, cozy and beautiful. Not grey, black and white like so many homes and apartments are these days.
Home is where your heart is. Smaller means less to fuss over and care for. It means you can see your things and enjoy them more. Who needs the latest decor? It is outdated in no time. to enjoy what you need, use, and love having around you is wonderful. I lost my husband of 54 years and I am staying in our home. It luckily is small and it brings warm memories. Having some nature around us is so important to our well being.
I've downsized twice and am now in an apartment with my ex-husband. Due to the economy. I am a little jealous you have your own nest, but you inspired me tonight to do what I can with the situation I am in. You are like finding a sweet friend! God bless you!

I'm so happy for you! Your smaller apartment was so charming that I couldn't imagine another apartment being as nice. The larger apartment gives you and your lovely treasures room to breathe. You have such a talent for arranging items without having them look cluttered. I've been in a rut since I retired (for the third time) in June, at age 69, after 44 years as an RN. You have inspired me to get off the sofa, stop being lazy, and get my life back in gear. I need to listen to beautiful music and turn on some twinkle lights!

What a lovely space. I adore everything you did to create the warmth and sense of home. Well done!
So sweet and beautiful. I have a three bedroom home packed to the gills, I love all my treasures. I have a bedroom set that came off a ship, I wish I had keep the freight ticket. I’ve had it for almost sixty years. My x made me paint it. After my divorce my mother and I sanded it and my dad took out his compressed and sprayed it off white. It looks beautiful. I made porcelain dolls years ago, they are all over my house. Some people walk in and say oh creepy dolls, but I love them. Do as you feel in your decorating. It is all yours. God has given you all that you have so enjoy and be thankful. Don’t forget to thank God everyday for the ups and downs of your life, it was meant to be yours.✝️💞🕊
Your new home is absolutely perfect! In a world that can be so dark some days, your beautiful new home and its surroundings are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing and including us in this very important new chapter of your life! ❤️❤️

Desi says “ and this is my bed! Ain’t she a great lady!” 😂😂🤣😅 Thanks for sharing your new space. It’s so you! I love that you’re surrounded by nature!
So. So. Beautiful. Love everything. ❤ So peaceful, cozy and inviting, not to mention the scenic, tranquil outdoors, deers grazing and lovely patio. Desi lounging on the bed is an absolute delight. Looks heavenly. 👏
Your home is so lovely! A phrase that keeps coming to mind lately for me is “Bloom where planted”. You have done a wonderful job of blooming no matter where you are. Thank you for sharing your home with us and giving me inspiration for my own home.
Oh, Susan, I'm absolutely head over heels thrilled for you and your new home! Love, love, love the forest outside your balcony, and that there are deer to welcome you! Big hugs to you and a tummy rub to Desi ... Smiles, Stella
I can’t believe you moved and decorated the apartment the way you did in 11 days! I honestly don’t know how you did it. You have a knack for decorating and everything looks so pretty and comfy. Thanks for sharing it with us and best of luck in your new home. Hugs, Dolores 🥰

Your home is lovely -- full of the treasures of a life well lived. I am glad to find such a positive person online. You teach us so much with your "attitude of gratitude". You know how to enjoy what you already have -- how to count your blessings! So many of us need to be reminded of this in these trying times we live in. I also love the soft relaxing music you use. How can anyone watch your video and not feel so blessed -- so full of hope -- and so amazed by the beauty of the everyday things around us. We need more people in this world like you who try to be a blessing to others. Thank you for being such an inspiration...

Your videos are such always such a treat...the beautiful way you film, the poetic things you share in the voice over, your transparency and warmth. You emanate kindness, glamour and style! Plus, Desi is so adorable with those darling bow ties! Again, much happiness to you and Desi in your new home!!!!
Love the new apartment! Snug and cozy! I love that saying! “I needed a hero, so that’s what I became.” A lot of times we don’t realize that the face in the mirror had the answers all along.

I have read through many comments and I have to agree, you, my dear, seem like one of the warmest, kindest, loveliest of people. You have a natural flair with interior decor, your place is wonderful. I know I'll be bingeing through all your videos. Thank you for being an anchor for so , so many of us. We are blessed.

Thought I was going to miss your old place, but Love this place. Hard to believe you have that wonderful walk in closet and that pantry. Love that pantry.
Dear Susan and Desi, I only just found you a couple of days ago and feel like I’ve made new friends! I will be 60 at the end of this year. My marriage fell apart 10 years ago and last year I lost my mother to leukemia (at 90) after being her carer for 10 yrs. My 2 girls are in their 20’s and I have one that’s moved in since COVID earlier this year (I’m in Australia). I’ve downsized too but can’t get a hold on life at the moment. I’m not going to bore you with all the whys and wherefores however I’m so grateful for your uplifting videos! I simply LOVE your new home (and your last) and your decorating style. You’ve done amazingly well to restore your life and I SO admire that. You are truly an inspiration! Please let me know how you manage to hang all your beautiful artwork. I’m too afraid to bang holes in my walls or to just not have enough strength to hold something. And did you have to do a big patch up job on your last apartment walls? Blessings, Kate

Just a note, you should turn your hangers around so that they are over the rod from the front. If there is a fire and you have to grab them in a hurry they will not come off the rod easily the way you have them. Love the new place.
“I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.” Beryl Markham

Seems like old times! One of my faves. An apartment with a pantry? Posh! Love your office. Everything is so lovely. So happy for you and Des.
Absolutely stunningly beautiful! Wow your new place is fantastic, so warm, cozy yet spacious, serene, relaxing yet surrounded by the feeling of romance and poetry, it's majestic. The large credenza in the hallway is a show stopper piece, so worth the effort to move it. I can see the smile on Desi's face, he is thrilled. The deer and view, all that nature and wildlife, it's like living in a painting, you deserve this peace of heaven on earth with everything you have weathered. So happy for you, life feels right when good things happen for good people.

The pantry surprised me how big it is, it’s fabulous.
You were really missed and I am so glad to see you back. Your home is enchanting, pretty and has a wonderful look. I can not believe you have only been there 11 days! Wishing you many years of happiness and peace, you deserve it and thank you for the joy you bring to me and so many others
Susan I want to thank you so much for your wonderful videos. I'm 63 years old and life happens. I myself am divorced a single mom of 2 kids and they are now older and established. 4 years ago I had a serious injury that I lost everything. I had to move in with my daughter. And I just want to say thank you so much. The time you put into these videos and things that you have to say just give me a renewed excitement for life again. But most important you helped me get back my hope. I'm excited to start my journey and pick up the pieces and live my best life. Big Hugs 💕🙏
Love ❤️ spending time with you as you inspire me to live a more beautiful life.

I'm so happy for you! Thank you for the tour. I can't imagine how you fit all that furniture and art in your old apartment, but it fills this one nicely. Seeing the deer outside your balcony brought a tear to my eye. My ex and I used to live in 5 acres of woods on the Flint River in the thumb of Michigan and we saw deer all the time. You don't see them in the part of Texas that I live in now (Dallas area). You are so lucky to have found an apartment with so many big windows with such views! You have decorated it beautifully, as I knew you would. PS......At our age, old boyfriends are too old to help you move, even if they wanted to. LOL You'd probably spend the day in the emergency room instead of moving. I'm glad you hired someone. That's what I did last time I moved too.

Dear Susan, my heart swells with love for you, as you move forward now in a new home of such delights The balcony is fabulous for you an Desi , oh my gosh to see the deer took my breath away. Susan to share with you, When my husband of 53yrs an myself retired we bought a small raised cottage(Ontario Canada) With a wrap around deck, the property was beautiful as completely surrounded with Mature Maple 🍁 trees, also Sumac an cedar an backed into a conservation area, our lot was 100 X150 ft ..my husband established his vegetable 🌽 plot An I had my own little flower bed at the front garden , mostly was laid to lawn with a sweeping driveway. We were so happy As also had beamed ceilings an a great old fashioned wood stove right in the living room. 20yrs later my beloved husband died of cancer, I had to decide to move as my road was a consession road that lead to the lake Simco shores I could never walk to anywhere without a drive . I was In Grief an decided to move to Vancouver to an apartment , I felt like my world had ended, as I was now a senior an never ever lived in an apartment, I am fortunate as I have my family Here in BC, an like yourself I was fortunate to find my perfect little 2bedroom flat with my balcony surrounded by 7mature Cherry-blossom trees Plus an eco friendly lily pond an bird island within my view from my balcony. I love my balcony and count my blessings for the courage It took to leave my special cottage home behind. (best decision I ever made on my own ) I hope like yourself my story shall help someone in similar circumstances Prayers 🕊 went a long way in helping me over the hurdles. Meantime Susan you are a wonderful inspiration in my life Your gentle spirit resonates within my soul amen Mary Canada 🇨🇦

Yay! You’re back! The new home is so beautiful, elegant and cozy, too. What an amazing mirror above the bombe chest. Best wishes for you and Desi!
China cabinets are the absolute best thing ever ..... a lovely way to display old memories..... and have a pace to store and display new ones too! I want a second China cabinet !🙏🏻💙
Dear Little Poet, Your new home is exactly that, “Homey” . . . The romantic music playing in the background gives me a feeling of appreciation for days gone by. For me, I am more of an open, bare looking decorator. I think I’m afraid I don’t know how to display things in an inviting way. I’m going to keep watching you and set the “mood”. Like you said . . “Your home should make people feel comfortable” thanks for the inspiration!
I was so excited when I saw you had posted! You've been gone so long! I absolutely LOVE your new place, and the outdoor views are perfect. I know you and Desi will be so happy there. It was worth waiting for.

Hi how are you doing ☺️
I have been watching your channel for sometime now. I am also a 60 something single woman. I have wanted to comment on several occasions but never have; until now. Let me begin by saying your channel content has brought calm and peace into my life when I needed it. There were days where I was asking my self what in the world are you going to do???? Asking my self questions and self doubting whether I could do what I had to do. but you know you put one foot in front of the other and keep focused; easier said than done, right? I love how you and your desi...have made your home so cozy and warm in just a matter of days!! It is so warm and inviting too! I too lived in Michigan for the better part of my life. I know reside in South Carolina. I miss the four seasons alot...believe it or not:) I am so glad that I got the nerve to post to your vlog. Again thanks for being there.; when I needed the extra encouragement.

HI Melinda!!!! I a so glad you commented and I got to tell you hello and send you thanks and love for your beautiful words! We inspire each other...you are a Michigan girl!!! I was just thinking....how much snow will we all see this year? It's so cute..Desi is not fond of snow! And as far as easier said than done...oh yes...and life sends us curve balls and we are always dancing as fast as we can to survive...but it's so comforting to know...we are not alone....! There are so many women out there our age that are struggling with so many issues..and somehow it feels there is strength and peace in numbers...thank you so much for being here Melinda...you made my night! xxoo Susan & Dez
Your home is lovely and it reflects your loveliness. Well done. You are such an inspiration for us ladies in our sixties! It only took you 11 days to create it. Simply amazing.
“I needed a hero. So that’s what I became,” thank you for such a courageous video. I love your home.
I missed you Susan and Desi. It is so lovely to see you back. Your new "home sweet home" is absolutely gorgeous, I love the way you have decorated it. You are really talented. I wish you both lots of happiness in this beautiful place. Love from France 💕
This was like watching a movie! You have such a magical flair for decorating and making an apartment a warm, loving home. And Desi is the cutest pup ever! Thank you for this uplifting look at your new space! And Mazel Tov!

Beautiful! roomy, very charming, I have a feeling that you would create beauty no matter where you live. I’m sure you chose the location with care because you have nature just outside your door. May you have everything you hope for 💟
Please be careful that Desi doesn't jump in the chair's and get up on the rails and fall or jump off! Just thinking because that's what my babies would do!!! Love you're new home and this is the second time I have watched this, beautiful.
"I needed a hero, so that's what I became" is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I appreciate your bravery and kind spirit more than you'll ever know. I have lost so many family members, and when I learned yesterday that my amazing sister-in-law who has metastatic breast cancer was placed in hospice I felt so helpless and alone. I say this only because I needed something or someone to bring me some sense of peace, and you gave that to me. Love is what matters most, and you've shown that by allowing us to view a bit of your life with honesty. Thank you for giving me a reason to believe there is still goodness and hope in this world. And, I love your new home...and wish you great happiness!

Love the apartment, it’s beautiful ! A bath and a half is awesome! Gosh, I have missed you three weeks! Good to see your smile and soothing voice again and of course the adorable Desi.
I’m re-watching some of ur videos, because u always give me hope and peace. It came to my mind when u mention that every day is important, the truth inside those words. Every day is one and unique and can’t be repeated, so we must be aware of every view, every creature, every object… every breath we take. It’s all irrepeatable…God bless you, Susan!
I am in Southeastern Michigan. I am living on my own for the last 6 years in a one bedroom Apartment in a Senior Apartment Community ( Non subsidized) for 62 and over. The first night just being alone was heaven. Quiet, peaceful. Mine. My daughters make sure that my shopping trips are done on my schedule. 8 granddaughters and 8 great granddaughters plus the male grandson in laws and my stepson and son-in-law make sure I am comfortable. I no longer work but keep busy. Winter in MI is always cold and changeable on a dime. I need to thrift where you do, wow, the things you fine. I love your new home. I am still decorating and getting rid of things. You are my girl!! I love your bathroom decor!! Enjoy your new home.
' I needed a hero so that's what I became. ' ❤ So good to see you and Desi again!! Thank you for taking us on a tour of your new apt. You are already making it a home. Such tranquility from your view. Your art has found just the right walls to be displayed on. Welcome home 🏡 💕. This is such a calming video & being tired this afternoon I dozed off & watched it again. You may need a lot more twinkle lights, it's so spacious. Have a wonderful week. Be safe & blessed.

Loved this. A dish washer , a pantry a balcony and best of all a walk in wardrobe. I would be over the moon x❤️
Such a lovely apartment. Our home should be our safe place. And full of things we love. “Old-fashioned” is so comforting.
Everything looks amazing, you did a great job decorating! You deserve this and so much more! I’m so happy for you Susan and Desi!
You did a amazing job in 11 days! It looks like you have been there forever. I love your style. It's warm & inviting. 😉🥀💗
Your such a lovely gift to the world. You give kindness and warmth. Your little Desi so sweet. Thank you for sharing your lovely apartment with us. Being content is a great gift. Delighted to have found you on.
You always make your homes wherever you live so lovely.
Wow, your new home is lovely and gives me a feeling of balance and harmony. You really do have a very beautiful esthetic when it comes to decor and I LOVE your china cabinet!! Desi and the deer are the icing on the cake. Enjoy!

Susan, my husband and I are empty nesters, I feel very lonely in this huge house, I live in Florida, not to far from the beach and I've always had regular contemporary furniture but I've always wanted to have a home that looks like a beach cottage in every room, white, wicker, shells, you get my drift, like the gorgeous motel and expensive hotel rooms here in Florida. no one ever comes over here, but on the few occasions that someone drops by it would be nice to have a beach cottage , Florida home. I'm going to try, you've really inspired me and gave me something to occupy my time and make me feel happy again. thank you Susan for always having such comforting words just when I really needed it. hi desi
Loved your new home. The backyard is to die for. You have such a smoothing and comforting voice. May you be happy and healthy in your new home. Loved your doggy too.
