House Tours: A Stylish 600 Sq Ft Apartment in Brooklyn, New York

Name: Kim White
Location: Brooklyn — New York City, New York
Size: 600 square feet/56 square meters
Type of home: Apartment
Years lived in: 2.5 years, renting

A few years ago, we met Kim, who had moved into a 296 square foot studio apartment in Brooklyn after a recent breakup. Acting as a new chapter, she was able to transform her space into a marvel, full of small space ideas and chic design moments. Now, she has moved into a bigger apartment, in the same building, where she's been able to transform the space with more of her design know how, but with the ultimate goal of hosting and spreading her new message of living life on her terms. From the transformations of the bathroom and kitchen space, her awesome DIYs to a completely remodeled garden space, it's safe to say Kim is living her best life (in her best dress) and it's only up from here.

I’m only 9 mins in and she hands down wins this year’s house tour. From her thrift finds, her DYIs, to the unique storage ideas, this house isn’t even my style, but I’d move in in a second. It’s so moody, cozy, homey. Everything is different style, but somehow goes together perfectly. Kim, you are so talented!

[Misskittenfish]

This is the first time ive watched a home tour and teared up. She is such a beautiful, authentic person. She radiates confidence and strength. You can tell she's been through something that deeply effected her but come out as a victor. Her style and grace is reflected in her home. Just lovely all around. ❤

[JWartsy]

The best part about this tour was seeing her express her heart at the end. It’s no doubt that all that she has inside is expressed on the outside through her living space. Completely beautiful ✨

[sylviasid]

As a renter? Wow!The owner of that unit lucked out, she completely transformed the aesthetics and functionality of that space! She is beautiful and lively with an infectious spirit. What amazing personal style! 🙋🏽‍♀️ 😊

[niyatirohatgi]

It was an absolute pleasure to watch this video! The part where she said that the first apartment was about her and focusing on herself and this place is about letting people in, so pure and so intentional.
Her personality reflects in every inch of the place, the apartment is not just beautiful, it’s intentional. 💕

[sarahmccord]

Kim is the personification of elegance. She just exudes light. Her easy, natural elegance is really reflected in the home she’s made. Beautiful work, Kim.

[dagneytaggart]

She is AMAZING! She needs her own show now! So authentic, accessible, beautiful style and beautiful person! Such a talented woman who can share so much with the world! So happy for you, Kim - and the journey you’re on and evolution you’re embracing! Keep going and keep sharing!

ms. white has more style by accident then most of us do on purpose. she and her space are truly stunning.

[michelepaccione]

I wouldn’t have thought it was possible, because her last space was so beautiful, but Kim’s outdone herself with this space. Every room is spectacular, and the outdoor space is just as amazing. She’s got a real talent for interior and exterior design.

[Colorbrush]

Kim should write a book not only on interior design but living your best life to the fullest. She is a lifestyle guru and interior designer. Although her personal style is not mine, I am impressed with how she thinks outside the box. She is never boring. And I am in love with her garden.

This video was like watching season 2 of a much loved show where the budget was doubled in terms of size, plot development and growth - wishing you continual love in your life Kim

[jennyjones]

her home is sensational. And she is just a stunning woman. So kind, so humble, so beautiful and so unique. She is as mesmerizing as her home. What an excellent episode in every single way.

[CKism]

What she did in her "lounge" area is really brilliant. That would have been a small little area for a tiny dining table and she made it into a wow place to hang out and have drinks. Also, her personal style--hair, makeup, outfit are stunning!

[kimmills-mamaia]

Honestly, you need your own show. I can't believe the creative ways that you have made space and style for your apartment. It's stunning!

[jacquelinelun]

I tear up as Kim gets emotional too!!! Her living space is a manifestation of how much she has grown and she 's able to accommodate more and bless others. Her renter friendly tips will bless a lot of people who are renting or owning their own house to elevate their space and also to make good use of reclaimed preowned doors or furnitures. It's so inspiring I enjoyed every minute of it!!!

[marinathomas]

Infectious beauty - that smile! And the whole house is just an extension of Kim - chic, serene, organized. Tears of joy at the end show how emotionally invested she was in the whole process. It's not just interior décor happening here, it's an inner transformation!

[sandraborneclairelovestrea]

Kim is so chic herself, I would expect nothing less of her apartment. Very pretty and clever ideas and so much storage for NYC!

[UKLeonie]

Ms White's former flat remains one of my favourite rewatches, her new rental is my new inspirational space amd I'm so proud of her growth and development 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

[carmensiordia]

I can’t say enough about how this video inspired me! Thank you! I will rewatch over and over again!
I hope Kim White considers a design book!

[WomanhoodGatekeeper]

I love that Apartment Therapy has stayed in touch with Kim. Her first apt. was also beautiful.
