In all honesty, we all should be able to live in a studio , if you live alone. Over consuming will never bring you happiness. You just believe material things bring joy. I moved from Chicago to Nevada and I got rid of 90 percent of my belongings. Now I actually wear my clothes and my home is spotless. I notice I'm less stressed. and im more aware of what I buy.

Your comment interest me because I live in Illinois and have decided to move to Las Vegas in another year. I have downsized a lot. I have also purchased this that is multi purpose. I even changed my color scheme to neutral, my wardrobe as well buying only quality clothing. It’s all saving me money and time. Now got to work on overhauling my grocery list.

I'm even more impressed that she created a separate living room area for herself and a separate area for her daughter's mini room area. OMFG!!! Seriously this is the type of stuff that needs to be on HGTV. You don't need to me a millionaire for your place to be on TV. Thank god for KZread, this girl is inspiring me!!!

My first apartment was a studio. I loved it because it was designed with 2 large closets, a great bathroom and large kitchen. I was 20. I'm older now and redesigning my life after divorce. I'm finally able to move into a q bedroom but using a studio mindset to keep things simple and decluttered.

I love your home. I did a 1 bedroom. With my Daughter. She got the room. I got a daybed in the livingroom. And I kept it. All the years I raised her. I figured with the extra money I was able to do things with her. That I wouldn't be able to do. If I had a 2 bedroom. We didn't have the internet. So I cleaned houses. I wish you well. I like your work ethic. You will go far in your life.

Thank you for a realistic studio apartment tour ❤

It looks so good! And so cozy! I love it! God bless and keep that baby girl safe ☺️❤️

Nice space. IKEA have a over the sink dish rack. I have one i install myself in a tiny kitchen and it works great.

You can place baking soda powder,or epsom salt,or charcoal deodorizer in your closets,near hampers,trash bins & cat's litter box.I love baking soda.

I love how you designed your different living areas! Super brilliant! I also love how you really made sure you gave your daughter her own play space~you are a sweet Mom! Pink is one of my favorite colors-so also love all of your pink pieces! *those chairs are so pretty! Very Very Nice! 🦋
