My New (empty) 2 Bedroom Condo Tour!

Molly is clearly still learning her way

around. [laughs] You just missed

me falling into

the wall and then into this door

intro music

Hello!

And welcome to my new empty apartment.

So this is a two bedroom condo

It's going to be a lil bit echoey

Cause there's nothing in it

Note the “Empty Apartment Tour.”

Don't worry, there’s gonna be full move in

vlogs and unpacking, decorating videos

and I’ll definitely do a finished

once it's decorated tour. I've done

these three apartment tours in the past

cause apparently I move

a lot! And uh, so I thought I'd do an

empty one this time cause

I have it empty here for a few days.

It is all white, which

is exactly what I wanted.

I love it so much.

So, this is the front door

and when you walk in

It's to like, a very open concept space.

There is a light,

just a normal light.

The floors throughout are this beautiful,

super, light washed wood.

Which I am obsessed with.

There’s tons of lights

everywhere, big windows.

It’s just very bright and

that is exactly what I was looking for.

Right inside the door here,

we have the laundry.

We love to see it! We love

a good in-unit washer dryer moment.

What a luxury!

So, very happy to have that.

And then...

I’m still finding my way around.

I just got the keys last night.

In here, we have a whole built-in closet.

So, I’m gonna keep

kinda my most needed jackets here

and most needed shoes. But then also

probably, maybe, some cleaning supplies

and I think I'll probably keep

Lavender and Gallops

food in their bins down here

so it’s really easy to grab.

Where is the handle? There we go.

It’s going to be a learning process.

Then, it’s all just living room

in front of me here.

Uhm, it is so open and spacious

I’m obsessed.

One thing that I’m really excited about

is over here... where is it?

In here?

We have shelving units.

And I’m very excited about this

because I love trinkets and décor and

so I'm not gonna like overload them or

anything cause that would get too busy.

But I just am really excited to

put some of my favorite décor pieces in

here. Like my blush pink and copper globe,

Candles,

Just things like that through out here.

I think will look really fun

and just add something special to this.

I’m thinking I’m gonna put

my couch like right here.

If we can fit it in...

We literally might not be able to

get the couch into the building.

So that should be interesting.

I might have to get a new couch

unfortunately.

Fingers crossed I don’t!

We'll find out soon.

And so, the couch, I'm thinking,

is gonna go right here

Now...

They had it staged

not when I was here looking

but I'm renting from a private owner

like, an owner owns this condo and

I'm renting from them and I found the

listing when it was being sold

and they had it staged in those photos

so I had like my mom

and dad describe it to me

and they had it staged where the chairs

and couch were going this way

but there's a really beautiful view and

although I can't see it, I want people

to be able to sit on the couch

and, like, see the beautiful view

and I don't have a TV,

so there's no need to, like, have a couch

facing the wall where a TV would be

so I think that's what I'm going to do.

And then have my coffee table

and then, where the window is,

like two chairs

a nice table in the middle.

It'll have to have some floor lamps

cause there's no ceiling lighting in

this area. But there's this giant

window and all the blinds are remote

controlled which sounds cool and high tech

and modern, however, one of them is broken

and we just got the keys yesterday

and so they're getting it fixed.

But it's kind of annoying cause now

the blind is, like, mostly down

in the one room

and we can't open it

cause there's no, like, you know, strings

to pull. So that's kind of weird

So, this is the den space.

This is an old building,

its a very old building

and so this is like a renovated unit

in a very old condo building

and so, originally, this did have doors.

Which, to be honest, I would have

kind of preferred. I know a lot

of people love the open concept

but this is intended to be an office space

and when you're at home on

work calls you kind of want some privacy

and the rest of the house doesn't want

to hear what you're talking about all day.

So, I feel like that was, honestly,

a bad decision to take the doors out

I would've just put clear glass doors

or a sliding barn door or something

to still give it that open feel

without removing the personal privacy

of whoever's office space this is

but it wasn't my renovation.

So there's tons of windows in here

but the blind is stuck halfway down

at this point.

apparently, it's beautiful views

but I cant show you that

cause I don't want to show you and have

creepy people figure out where I live

uhm, but there is like overhead lighting

in here. I don't know what exactly

I'm going to do with this space

I think I'm gonna put like

Lavender's cat condo in here

maybe one of my swing chairs

from my balcony cause I don't have a

balcony unfortunately here.

The light switch for this is over

here and it does have a dimmer switch

which is nice. So you have some mood

lighting. There isn't dimmer switches

Throughout the place but

there is in some spots and that's one.

And then here is where my beautiful, giant

marble table will go.

I'm so obsessed. My last apartment

that I was living in, couldn't fit

my giant, rectangular, marble table

so i kept it in storage, but this is

the perfect spot for it and I think

it's gonna look so good with all just the

whites and the greys, cause all of...

everything here is white and then

a lot of my furniture is gray, white and

pastel pink, so I think it's just

gonna look perfect. So I'll have my big

table here with my clear chairs.

I personally dont love this light

I feel like its very trendy right now to

have with these kind of wicker lights.

and I get it. It justs not personal -

it's a beautiful light - it's just not

personally my vibe. So, I might switch

that out if the guy lets me, I'll

just store this and then

buy my own overhead light. Switch

it out, so potentially that will happen.

and then over here we come into the

kitchen. Obviously, this is like a bar

area, where you could put two

to three chairs. I dont have any bar

stools that will fit this. I might

pick some up. I might not.

I haven't really decided

I'm gonna have six chairs to sit at the

table. I dont know that this willl

be used that much. But who knows?

I might move in and be like,

"I'm really missing have chairs at

my bar". So we'll have to see.

And we go left into the kitchen

its an all white kitchen. It is a very

small like galley kitchen,

but I don't cook

so, I dont care that its a small kitchen.

One cool thing about this fridge though

is its smudge proof. So you like leave

fingerprints and they disappear. I dont

know if it will pick up on camera but

I feel like thats kind of nice, you never

have to clean it. Also, the dishwasher

okay, is like drawers. So there's two

drawers instead of like a kind of

traditional one that folds down. So I

thought that was unique. uhm, and I guess

its good in a small tight space like this

to have that style. Uhm yeah, so nothing

much to say. This is the kitchen.

And then in the hallway, we have tons

of storage. I think that this built-in

is kind of intended to be like your pantry

so for people who love cooking and

snacks, they would kind of store a lot

of their food in here. I don't love

cooking or snacks. So I'll probably

mostly put my shoes in here. I feel this

could be good shoe storage, right Mom?

[Mother] Actually I was thinking

the same thing myself.

So I think perhaps shoes will be going

there If there's some overflow, and then

here we have more storage. They really did

a really good job, at like building in

storage to the space. Oh there is not

another door. Here I am feeling around

to pull another door open.

They really did a great job at building

in storage and there is a light in there

too actually which is kind of nice.

I'm impressed with all the built-ins

I feel like thats - if you have an old

space that you're renovating whether

its with the intention to sell, to rent,

or to just continue living there

yourself, I feel like doing built-in

storage and built-in closets is

such a wise way to spend your money

cause it makes your life so much

better and so much easier. And I feel

like for resale value, its really big.

Across from that last cupboard in

the hallway, we have the one bathroom,

not one, theres two bathrooms,

but this is the first kind of guest

bathroom. So there is a bathtub.

Unfortuantely, my fellow bath lovers

will relate to me on this. A good bathtub

has a slanting back, so you can like

lean back when you are soaking in

the tub. Bad bathtubs have like a rigid

edge that you cant get comfortable in.

This has one of those. It's like just

straight up and down so you can't

really like comfortably sit with your

back. So I'm gonna try to find like a

nice bath pillow or something that

might make it better. The floor is so

beautiful. I love this tile so much.

And its heated flooring. Correct.

Its heated flooring.

I'll let that soak in. I'm very excited

and then I love the sink. I love that

they did like an above counter sink

because I feel like it frees up a lot of

storage space underneath for piping

and stuff. Sunken in all the piping then

takes up a lot of room. So I feel like

it's not only aesthetically nice but its

just smart for saving storage. They left

Kleenex, which is funny. But I also like

that there's again somewhat of like

built in storage in here. So products can

go in here and they wont like be all

over the place in the drawers.

and there is another big drawer down

here. And then this mirror is cool cause

you can see it has like the lighting

but you can also like wave your hand under

and that turns off. So if you didn't want

that lighting, boom, on and off.

So I think that's pretty neat.

(Record Scratching) Molly is clearly still

learning her way around. You just missed

me walk into the wall, and then into this

door, like [laughing] literally I was like

"Ow!" & then I took two more steps and was

like "Ow!" so its gonna take a week or so

[Mother] Meanwhile, you found my phone.

[Molly] Yes, my mom was looking for her

phone & I was like, "Oh, I found your

phone its in here!" Because this is a

built-in closet and I was like feeling

all of the built-ins

and it was sitting right on here and then

she's like, "How did you find my phone?"

and then as I'm like triumphantly bringing

her the phone, I like walk into two things

in the span of three steps. So it'll

take me a good week or so to get

settled and learn the way around.

But its fine, we are doing well.

So, this is another built-in. This is in

the second bedroom. Now the second

bedroom has no overhead light at all,

which is too bad, again, if I had bought

this condo and renovated it, I would

personally put overhead

lighting in every room and

all of it would have dimmer switches.

Personal preference, but it doesnt.

So we have one of my filming studio lights

on, but this will just have to have lots

of lamps. And so yeah, this is the

built-in closet. So

once my boyfriend is able to live

here with me, this is gonna be his office,

because, like everyone, he works from home

and so this will be his home office. So

he'll have his desk. We'll probably keep

our workout equipment in here as well and

then this will be his closet for all his

clothes and shoes and what not. And it's

honestly quite spacious. Like they really

did a good build in here compared, if you

you think, what it probably

was before, with just a

bar across the top, but its so much more

convenient now how they've done it.

So really well done. And there's really

nothing to say about this room. Its just

a square room that's gonna have some

work equipment and some workout

equipment. Then we have the master

bedroom! which is directly across the hall

from the second bedroom, which is

again, an office. And both the bedrooms

have floor to ceiling, wall to wall

windows on one side, which is really

really nice and it does have those blinds

with the remote control. I think in the

window I'm gonna put that faux fur white

bench that I had in my last apartment

in the doorway like in the hallway at the

front entrance. I think I'll put that in

the window in the bedroom. And then at the

end of the bed, there's like almost like a

cutout in the wall. And I think there I'm

gonna put that photo of the woman's face

that used to be in the background a lot in

my videos and my vanity. And there here

against this wall will be

beautiful storage bed

with bedside tables and its honestly

so spacious. Again, no overhead light

though, in the main part of the bedroom so

that's a little sad. But we'll just rely

on good lamps. And then we come this way.

This is where it gets interesting.

So the same light above that is in the

entrance way and then it's all built-ins

and what's interesting here is like its

open concept. So, as you see, there's no

sliding door. There's nothing here. So all

your clothes and shoes are exposed which

defintely forces you to keep it organized

and clean, because anybody who walks

in here can see if its messy. You also

just really want to be careful with where

you're putting things like bras

or underwear. Like, you're

gonna have to get, I guess the

drawers. There is drawers here.

So I guess you wanna make sure

you're keeping all personal stuff in the drawers

hidden away, but yeah, I think that's pretty

interesting. I might film with this

as the background somtimes. For like

fashion videos I feel like it would be fun

to see some of my clothes like hung up

behind me and stuff. I dont know. I

feel like that would look cool. So this

will be my closet space because, like most

partnerships, I do have more clothes than

my male counterpart. And then over here

is another built-in. This ones a little

more private. These are all shoe racks

which is really great. And then we have

coat racks and then some more little

space here. Pretty good.

And then we come into the master bathroom

and it is that same beautiful black and

white geometric tile with heated flooring.

I'm obsessed.

Same exact vanity with the same kind of

built-in drawer layout I think. Oh,

it's slightly different actually. Huh.

Oh, you can move these. Oh my God

That's so handy. I love discovering -

[Mother] Molly, you must be in heaven.

I love discovering new things, okay?

and then again, the same lighting

situation with that, toilet, and then here

is a standing glass shower.

Now, it's - it's very narrow,

which is fine.

What's interesting, and I was

talking about this with my mom yesterday

when we got the keys and we were touring,

I was like, "both this glass shower

and the glass shower in my last apartment

don't have any shelves for products."

No built-in shelves for products.

No little, like, cubby in the corner,

where you put your products.

Nothing! And, I'm like, "Do these people,

when they design showers,

forget that literally everybody who's ever

showered has at least one or two products

that they need like soap, shampoo,

something. So, that's very strange.

So, I'm gonna have to figure something out

for that. Uhm...

If I had done this shower, personally,

I would have added a door here for two

reasons, because with it being open,

if you move the shower head to point too

far out you're gonna potentially get water

dripping onto the floor. I know there

is this ledge here to help stop that,

but I've had this situation happen before.

Also, it keeps the heat in.

So, when you turn the water off,

like, this is all the heat from the shower

is still kept in here. So, you

can kind of like dry off a little bit

before you, like, enter back out to the

cold world. Whereas, when it's already

open, the cold air is just gonna get

immediately to your wet body,

and it's not fun. So, that's

probably what I would have done.

But, it's beautiful. Like, honestly, it's

like they did a great job with this

renovation. One, two, I've toured

five spaces. This was the first I saw

and i was like "Yep, that's the one."

"That's me."

"I need to go back and snatch that up."

And, honestly, it feels like such a gift.

I feel so grateful that I can live in such

a beautiful space, like this, that really

makes me so happy.

And, I'm so excited to decorate it and

show you guys what I do.

I love home décor. I know a lot of people

don't understand how I can love home décor

so much, even though I can't see it.

But, it is a real passion of mine.

So, I'm really excited.

I'm gonna stick with an all gray and white

theme in here. So, I don't think we're

going to do lavender in the bedroom

anymore. I mean the cat Lavender, yes;

but, the color no (Laughs),

because I think it'll just be nice,

especially because that's open concept.

And, so, any of the colors of my clothes,

you know, I just think keeping

it all neutral is going to be nice.

Which is the other weird part about an

open-concept is, like, if you wanted to

paint your bedroom orange, but all your

like, blue and green, and purple and

red and yellow clothes are showing,

it's kinda of like.. clashy? I don't know.

But it's gonna be all neutral in here.

Uhm, I'm very excited.

It really does feel like a gift. Yesterday

so this is going up on February 9th...

Yesterday, February 8th, was my

27th birthday. It is painful to even say

that out loud, because I feel like [sigh]

my mid-20s are officially behind me.

I can't say I'm in my mid-20s anymore.

I am absolutely in my late-20s.

I have to say that.

But, uhm, it really feels like such a gift

to have gotten this and moved in

right on time for my birthday. And, I did

buy myself one other gift though:

These shoes right here!

They're Jeffrey Campbell.

If you're as obsessed with them as I am,

check them out.

I just couldn't help myself.

For those who can't see, they're like,

these beautiful chunky-heel platform, and

they're lavender, pastel pink, and

periwinkle and I love them.

So, that was my birthday gift to myself.

Uhm, and, this apartment is certainly

feeling like a huge blessing.

I've been saving up for a long time to

eventually try and hopefully buy my own

place, and I'm hoping to do so

within the next few years. And, I've been

giving it a lot of thought over the last

little while, about what I'm looking for,

and, uhm, I really think that I want to

buy something and renovate it.

Like, buy something that's old and needs

to be gutted, and just totally re-do it,

and bring you guys on that journey

with me. Because, as you

guys heard me walking through here,

I do, uhm, have a lot of opinions about

renovations and design, and I think it

would be really fun to design my own home

to be as comfortable and accessible

as it could be for me,

and to take you guys on that journey,

as well. And, I'm

a part of a lot of retinitis pigmentosis

support groups on Facebook, and I see a

lot of people in the group

talking about that, like

"Hey, we're renovating our house."

"Any ideas for best way to design it to be

accessible." and things like that.

So, I thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to get

to do that for myself and to bring

you guys on that journey with me?!"

And, so I think that is something that

I am hoping to do

in the next year or two, so hopefully...

Hopefully, this is the last place I have

to rent. Who knows?

Every time I've said that, I've had to

move. So, maybe I shouldn't say that.

But, anyways, come this way.

I'm gonna kick you out for now.

But, I hope you guys have enjoyed seeing

this empty apartment tour and

are excited for the content that's

coming up. Of course,

if you're not into those kind of videos,

like decor and unpacking;

Don't worry, there's gonna be a lot of my

other type of content coming out still,

too. But, I'm really excited to have

shared this with you.

I hope you guys love it

because you're gonna be seeing a lot of it

in my upcoming videos!

If you want more Molly, til' then,

you can check this video out,

or this one over here.

And, I'll see you guys next time

[kisses] Bye!
