Re: rug size. I personally think a rug is the most grounding in a room when the furniture is touching it. As long as a few inches are under the feet of the couch and chair (like in the window-to-window direction of the room), I think that would work. If possible, then having the rug be wide/long enough that it "overhangs" the couch and chairs on the other side (the fireplace-to-credenza wall direction) with for a couple of inches would look really nice. I am also always pro rectangular vs square rug...I agree with you that something about a square rug seems kinda weird

I was about to comment basically the same thing. It should go at least a few inches under the couch and half way under the pair of chairs and then a few inches wider than the couch on either side

agree with this, and also getting a more "standard" sized rug will be a better investment in the long-run

Hey Jenny, an idea is to put a plank across on top of both wardrobes, over the door, it'll give you a bit more space and if they're level you wont need to put brackets up. Also put shelves up where you can - i held back for a long time thinking it'd make things more crowded, but the organisation space is a relief and good to see, and needs must. I love your new place, it's so exciting. I have been watching your vlogs for many years and am so pleased for you! Thanks for being so open about your mental health too it has really helped me xx

Love the new place!! I think centering your coffee table, sofa and chairs in the living room would be so good! Generally having the opportunity to pull your sofa away from the wall is honestly the best way to make your home feel elevated in my opinion

paige wassel has some youtube videos with her old apartment, in chicago i think, where she similarly didn't have a lot of storage space in her bedroom. she added wall storage and tiny diy bedside tables and the space looked very cozy without being too cramped. edited to add: i love the idea of a cobalt rug! cobalt-y klein-y blue is one of the most energizing colors imo

i second the paige wassel recommendation! she has such good style

jenny! re: rug - get yourself some painters tape and mock up size and placement on the floor

I love watching your videos. Been thinking about your difficult neighbors. If you haven't already, you should bring flowers to them - and - introduce yourself. Extend your warmth and kindness. Don't expect problems with them. Please change the dynamic. Might work. Might not. But it's worth a try.

Your vlogs in LA have made me see LA differently and be more grateful to be here. I’ve been so hyper romanticizing on NYC lately that I forget about this city of soft vibes and treasure hunts for places and items! Thank you for being you and sharing your experiences with us!

i think building some sort of shelving system on the wall where your bed is would be beneficial or getting a twin bed while you're living in this space. I know it's not ideal to have a smaller bed but you would be able to fit a dresser/armoire in your room and it would be more manageable to walk around in and would eliminate the need for storing stuff under your bed which you mentioned you did not like. something to consider :) your space is really lovely

Your hard work is really paying off Jenny! These past month of videos have been such a breath of fresh air and I love watching you live your life, it inspires me to live mine.

Bringing joy to my lazy Saturday! Thank u

Omg I love this sooo much!!!

Great vlog! I hope those ick neighbors chill and let you live your life. 💖

Hey! Long-time-listener-first-time-caller here. As I understand it, a rug creates a 'zone' where energy can settle and get comfy, so I agree with another comment that you want the furniture to overlap the rug at least partially. I'd suggest trying to stop the space between the long sofa and the table being a walkway because it'll unsettle the energy of sitting there. It's definitely worth watching a handful of feng shui videos before committing to a layout and especially making a big purchase, there's almost always a solution :)

i'm like a month behind you in the moving process for my first very own place and seeing you on the other side makes me so excited to get there

I've loved the trio of moving vlogs so much!! Its so exciting to see the new place!!

Your new place feels so special!

So lovely to see you excited,taking care of your self on all levels like wanting to cook again,nourishing yourself with good food and also supplements and superfoods,moving your body.

A new chapter in your life and we are all so happy for you,continue to be true to you💖💞✍💪🫂🪶🌱🌿🍀🍉🥝🥑🥦🥬🥕🍜🍣☕🫖🥧🕯📓🖋Warm hugs coming your way♾☯

I'm waiting to move into my dream apartment in late February. Really can't wait to get to the point where all our stuff is moved, our cat is settled, and we're able to start making it cozy and homey. I'm imagining the first morning there, the trees and calm outside, the nice big kitchen and having a coffee in the sunny living room. The sun shining through my prisms and making rainbows everywhere. These vlogs got me all kinds of anticipatory!!

JENNY! So so exciting to see your journey into a new space and period of your life! Can’t wait to see what is next 💕

I can't wait to see what you do to your new place in the future. It's so cozy and quaint. 😍 that city skyline you see at night is pretty.

Ahhh the trees and the energy of this new place just is such a dream. I seriously am using you as an expander in the idea of what is possible for moving and renting. I am hoping to be in LA this year *crosses fingers*

Have fun in your new place Jenny ! ILY

i’m so excited about the cobalt rug i’m loving blue rn, also very good choice for the new trunk table thing i like where you put it smuch

The view of the hills from your kitchen sink, that enclosed part of the desk, the rafters!! seems like such a special space! I need to visit LA

Congratulations on a lovely new home!! I’ve loved this vlog series

My comfort youtube ❤️ just spent the day binge watching your vids, love you Jenny!!

This new place feel so you, enjoy it xx

Your new place is fantastic!!! I’m in love!! I moved much closer to nature a few years ago and it’s been so healing ❤ love from New Mexico!

I'm so happy for you, Jenny! Congratulations

Watched for at least 5 years, first time commenting. GO JENNY!!! So inspiring watching you take life’s challenges and be creative through everything. I have a great feeling about your new spot 😎

Just a pretty home !! very excited to see what this place will bring you in the future :)

such a fun space, can't wait to see how you get everything put together :) congrats!!

i would say rectangle and everything (couch table chairs) on it for the rug

Omg wtf your space looks amaziiingg

OMG I love your kitchen curtains!

This video made me want to binge watch your videos again. You inspire me so much. Greetings from Chile ❤

Jennyyyy! I am IN LOVE with your new home, so happy for you to have more outdoor magical space! The rug should be rectangle and should reach the couch but I don’t think the chairs have to be completely on it!

It's sooo pretty Jenny

Glad we could keep you warm up there :)

This house suits you so much. Enjoy it sis make memories. It feels so peaceful

Your new place is sooo cute!!!!

Love the new place, you found a corker! 😃 Looks like you are in the treetops, how lovely.

your place is so gorgeous and you are truly beaming :)

100% get a rug big enough to go under the two chairs and the the couch. So probably an 8x10? Design wise, you want the rig to be the biggest part of the space, meaning all furniture can fit on it. It really elevates the space. And hundo P on the the cobalt blue!

Thank you !!! Helpful 💙

I think the rug should reach under the couch and including the 2 chairs, but leave a walk way of flooring behind the chairs

9 by 9 for the rug imo!! I LOVE COBALT BLUE

Wow you made it homely so fast. Looks so nice

such a dream home!

yay jenny what a nice new home its so exciting to see the new things happening! L I V I N G baby

Loved the series! Such a cool place. Happy for you :) Love from Germany

The new place looks greay!

love that book!!!! i picked it up at a estate sale ❤

Love your videos! What are your fav journals you always use?

A rectangle rug for sure!

Love that Japanese Sauce, so good for stir frys. Your room looks rectangle but it's hard to tell, bit of fish eye lens there maybe? I'd go for rectangle tho if it is.

Would looove a q&a from you !!

loved the intro!

love your new space!! i think the rug for the living room should go under the coffee table, chairs, and stick out from each (probably a foot or so on each side).

Bc of your big windows, you could go with greens and earth tones to really give the space an outdoors coming in kind of vibe.

ahhhhhh it's so cute!!

What a cool apartment

not a square rug for sure! I just feel a rectangular rug that stretch towards/under the seating would definitely tie the place together! and OHH that blueee! it'd be perfect. Love the new place, Jenny!

Love this series! May I ask where the cute mirror cabinet in the bathroom is from? :)

You look very pretty in white !!

re living room rug: i would reccomend putting masking tape in the approximate size of where you would want it to be, that way you have a visual for a while that you can sit with the size!

Have you thought about centering your furniture in the room? Pushing the chairs back, centering the coffee table to the wall between the doors and pushing your couch closer to the coffee table? I think doing this and adding a rectangular rug under all that would really ground the entire room. :)

idk about the sizing of the rug (and i'm not familiar with inches) but i think it should be a tiny bit longer than the lenght of the couch, and you should be able to place the front legs of the chairs on the rug. and i couldn't really understand the dimentions very well but i think what i described is gonna be a rectangle with the long side under the couch. hope you find the perfect one you love !! 💖💖

the night after I inspected the rental that I now live in, I had a dream about this grudge like banshee coming at me in the bathroom cos it was a historic home and apparently my subconscious believes in ghosts. the first few nights I was definitely a little scared but now the bathroom is one of my cosy happy places😅

I think the rug should be under the couch and chairs but not too far back so you leave visual room for a “walkway” in front of the door to the left of the windows. You could put another runner there behind the chairs to visually break up the space

It would be so cool to see you featured on apartamento mag

Coyotes playing oh myyy so cute ❤ Hi from coyoteless Switzerland 🙃

dream house!

omg the coyotes!!!!!!!!!! ❤‍🔥

rugs are hard for me too. regarding the living roooom.. i just bought a bigger rug so that more of my couch goes over it (but only the front legs, not all of it) then i moved couch and coffee table a little more apart and the room looks SOOOO much bigger and nicer now?! so basically, go big or go home 👀

tape out the floor so you can see the rug dimensions

Hi Jenny, where is your hanging lantern lamp from?

The chest you bought has the symbol of the center of the ancient creation symbol. Flower of life. ❤

It would be so cool if you could find a way to mount your surfboard so that you could still access it easily

Jenny, I know you want cobalt but maybe a soft, moss green, sort of pastel rug would also suit the peaceful vibe of your place❤

why was you stripping the kale the beat of the 20th century fox intro

more cute animal videos pleaseeee i enjoyed this clip so much!

8×10 for sure

Iast week you were talking about the universe sending you signs and I asked if my magazines would sell out to show me cartoon coyotes, and this is close enough lol. I'm taking this as a sign.

Curious how you found this apartment i.e. where was it listed? Curious where gems like this with private owners are found these days.

havent been on her channel since she was in NYC... can anyone fill me in? I thought she had already moved to LA pre pandemic?

does anyone know what camera she uses??

You need a rug that’s big enough for all your furniture to touch

yaaaaayyyy

hi jenny, what’s the name of the little camera? or does anyone in this comment section know? 😌

She likes to eat clean/organic and more natural healing...yet uses a toxic microwave lol

You should collaborate with @wasselpa so she can help with interior design in your new place !!!

There's a presence in your home, just be careful, might want to discard any really old items...

Yessss the most exciting part of the moving vlog has begun, watching you make the space into your own 💗
