"Just because you're a maximalist doesn't mean you can be a hoarder." True that!

[JenniferBrown-sgyq]

I adore your asides, such as, "that sounded more profound in my head." Your honesty is refreshing. 😊

[olivierbioret]

From a european in a big city perspective, i had a small culture shock : I laughed when you said your first appartment was not even 500 sqf ! Here, your average student flat is 9 to 25 sqmeters (100 to 270 sqf). When we're lucky enough to have closets, we can't enter in them, even less fit a table !

I am so happy to see the clock. Like an old friend❤

I had two mirrored medicine cabinets installed one above the other. This gives me storage but also gives a full length mirror.

Off topic.. I'm loving the beard and mustache. You look so handsome.

[laseximexi]

Take a sip of your mimosa every time Nick says Storage!

Cheers!🥂

I'm in the process of fitting out a 500 SF apartment. Just got back from a kitchen planning session at IKEA for a 9' x 6' kitchen. We focused on storage and added a 15" deep base cabinet w/a glass front wall cabinet in the living space just outside the kitchen doorway. The IKEA designer was fabulous. She knew the product inside and out and how to make minor customizations for this tiny 1850's carriage house apartment. I'll be pulling the trigger by this time next week. It's gonna be great!

I appreciate how realistic your pictures of cluttered spaces are. So often people just show awful hoarder spaces and this is a good gut-check for me.

[recycledfelines]

I live in a motor coach and absolutely love living in a small space, and I love your videos!

[kamosleh]

You are so relatable for bringing this up! It’s annoying when interior designer creators assume everyone lives in a mansion

[jenniferhal]

Love, love your channel, love when you say, “I mean, come on!” I was watching a decorating channel and she said all the legs on the furniture in a space had to be the same, and I was like, seriously?!?! come on! I believe you are the only “designer” I would ever invite into my home.

[JRNurse]

Honestly I don’t know if I watch your videos more for decorating help or for the laughter. 😂 Your quick wit is amazing! Love watching!

[miraearles]

We live in 380 square feet, it takes almost no clutter to make the whole house look wrecked. I've been decluttering and hiding things as much as possible to keep myself sane. Great tips!

[kathywiseman]

I like my vintage little oblong drop leaf table with the extra leaf and 4 matching chairs that I picked up at an auction for $12.50. 😊

[lauren_sunshine]

Before I moved into my studio, I measured the space and drew it to scale in my bullet journal. Then I measured my furniture and drew 2D versions (also to scale). Then I cut out the furniture and placed them in the drawing I had of the room to see what fit and what didn’t and figure out the best layout. That’s my favorite way to map out a small space

[jennyjenny]

I came to this channel for the tips. I'm staying with this channel for the tips + wonderful personality of Nick <3 I really like him!

[lorraineedmond]

I have mocked up SO many things out of cardboard boxes, drop cloths, etc. it works!

[fruitbable]

I've gotten to the point where I save Nick's videos to my home improvements youtube Playlist before even watching

[FreyjaRaven]

One of the apartments I lived in didn't have a storage unit so I had to store tires in the appointment. So put a round board on them and covered them with a long table cloth. Not ideal, but it's better than leaving a pile of tires in the living room or buying new ones every season.
