00:00I'm Isabelle, and this is Margo and her mom, Anna, who pays $3,000 a month for Margo to live in this colorful apartment.

00:16Hi, Anna! Hi, Margo! I brought you some treats. I know I found the right place because there are some dog shoes at the entryway.

00:24I know, aren't they cute? They're so cute.

00:26And I would love a tour of your apartment, Margo, if you'd like to show me around.

00:31Okay, I feel like the first thing I'm noticing is color.

00:35By day, I'm a rug designer, so when I'm designing a space, it really starts with a rug and the main color palette that comes from the rug.

00:43This piece was a really fun piece to bring in.

00:47A lot of the colors from the rug are echoed throughout the space, like in these pillows and the furniture.

00:53You have a young dog. How do you navigate having a dog and also having a beautiful rug that you designed yourself?

01:00For so long, we were saying that we wanted a dog, but we couldn't have one because we have this rug.

01:05Because of the rug?

01:06It's a very durable rug. I think when you get a really nice handmade piece, wool is naturally water repellent.

01:14How does Margo feel about the rug?

01:16She finds little spots, sticks her body half under the couch, makes her feel safe.

01:21Definitely.

01:23You want your spot, girly?

01:27I always use having dogs as an excuse to have my apartment look messy and whatever, but now I have no excuse because this is impeccable.

01:36I have to point out this fuzzy blanket. Do you have this blanket for Margo?

01:41It is literally a dog blanket.

01:43Is it really?

01:44When we first brought her home, she kind of took over this blanket that was on her bed with a similar texture.

01:50So when did you adopt her?

01:52We got her at the end of September of this year.

01:54When we brought her home, she experiences a little bit of separation anxiety.

01:59Having cozy things and just feeling comfortable in her space is super important.

02:07I feel like that's such a good example of how a home can help a dog decompress after adoption.

02:13And something as simple as a fuzzy blanket can really just make all the difference in the world.

02:20Okay, next I feel like we have to talk about this shelf and especially this Margo portrait.

02:25When we first adopted Margo, she sent us this as a little welcome Margo gift, which is really sweet.

02:32And how do you put together a shelf like this?

02:35Having a modular system and having little zones within one big wall shelf is really helpful.

02:41I have a lot of tiny collections.

02:44Matches?

02:44Yes, that's a big collection though.

02:47A lot of restaurant matches.

02:49And I see you have a wedding section over here.

02:51Yes.

02:52Can you tell me a little bit about your husband?

02:54And is he as obsessed with Margo as you are?

02:57Totally.

02:58If not more, honestly.

03:01He loves Margo so much.

03:02It's really sweet.

03:04There is one shelf that is not like the others.

03:07What is this shelf of random piles of wood?

03:10I started taekwondo.

03:11This is the wood that I've chopped with my hands and feet.

03:15That is amazing.

03:17It's pretty fun.

03:20It makes you feel powerful.

03:21Yeah.

03:22Is there a Margo section and is this all there is?

03:26That is maybe the start of like a larger moment for her.

03:31Right, because you've only had her for a couple of months.

03:33Yeah.

03:33This is my petition for Margo to get a section.

03:36I know.

03:36This is the Margo Zone.

03:37That's the Margo Zone.

03:43We play a lot of music in our house.

03:45I was going to say, I see your record player here.

03:47Can you show me your whole setup?

03:48There's a lot of records in here.

03:51And then we have like this fun speaker system where we have these speakers in each room.

03:57So whatever is playing is just echoed throughout the apartment.

04:00And then like Margo can be in the bedroom listening to same song.

04:06I love it.

04:08Music and soothing sounds are always playing in our home.

04:11And because Margo experiences a little bit of separation anxiety,

04:14I think playing these relaxing songs and videos in the background really keeps her calm and relaxed.

04:21What kind of music does she like to listen to?

04:23She honestly loves a good lo-fi song.

04:26Watch this.

04:27Margo.

04:28Margo.

04:30Good girl.

04:34I love these videos.

04:36I know, right?

04:37And we have T-Mobile 5G home internet.

04:39So it only took us 15 minutes to set up our Wi-Fi, get connected to the internet.

04:44And it's really great how fast their speeds are.

04:47Whether I'm watching a movie, playing music and videos for Margo.

04:51Plus our price won't change for five years.

04:54Guaranteed.

04:55That's amazing.

04:56And I love that Margo can remain calm and relaxed when she is home alone.

05:01Definitely.

05:04Would you mind showing me your kitchen?

05:06Of course.

05:08Okay, wait.

05:09I immediately see this little section that says Margo.

05:12What is this?

05:13This is like her treat section for home, her treats for walks, and then just like other

05:20little Margo-related things.

05:22And then is this also Margo-related?

05:24This is her bag of sweaters, her clothing, and wardrobe.

05:29Oh my god.

05:30Please pull that one out.

05:31What is this?

05:32That is a cute little pepper jacket.

05:36Wait, why do I want this for myself?

05:37It's so cute and it's reversible.

05:38She has a raincoat.

05:41A classic yellow raincoat.

05:43This fit her more when she was really tiny, but I'm keeping it for sentimental reasons.

05:47Of course.

05:50What are you trying to get?

05:51She's trying to get a specific outfit she wants to wear today.

05:56I also love this table.

05:58It's actually a piano.

06:00It's kind of like our piano bar because we have our bar stuff here.

06:04Wait, I'm sorry.

06:05This is a piano?

06:06It is.

06:07It's like a secret hidden piano.

06:10Who plays piano?

06:11My husband, Garrett.

06:13And he plays guitar.

06:14I feel like that's also why we have a lot of music in the house.

06:17Margot is sitting in her bed under the piano.

06:23As we discussed, she likes a little cave and she likes to be under things.

06:28When we're eating over here, cooking, she can kind of zone out and have her nap time.

06:34It's just a sweet thing to look over at when we're eating.

06:38We're like, look her tongue's out.

06:39She's searching for toys in her basket.

06:42Oh, I didn't even notice the toy basket.

06:44Does she have a favorite toy?

06:46Do you want to choose one?

06:47She loves a snuffle toy where you can hide treats.

06:51This wine bottle is a snuffle toy.

06:55Wait, is it really?

06:56Yes.

06:56Oh my God.

06:57Also, can we talk about how her toys match her water bowl?

07:02It's all matching and it even matches the kitchen walls.

07:06This is like next level planning.

07:09Did she find one?

07:10No.

07:11All right.

07:11Bye, girl.

07:12Bye.

07:16Do you want to sit down and have a little tea break with me?

07:19I would love to.

07:20And I actually brought something.

07:22This is a mug with my dog Simon on it.

07:27Is that a little illustration of it?

07:28Yeah.

07:30Tell me about the design of your kitchen.

07:32So I really just am always drawn to different patterns and color palettes.

07:37And I think that playing with a space really comes in with the accessories.

07:41Even if it's just a tablecloth, I have a lot of fun with playing with new things that are

07:46interchangeable and I can really mix it up.

07:49When you guys are sitting down for a meal, is she right below your feet or is she more in

07:54her bed sleeping?

07:55She's typically tucked underneath one of the chairs.

07:59And when we have guests over, we say that she picks her favorite person to sleep underneath

08:04their chair.

08:06She just wants to be wherever we are, honestly.

08:09And that's why we have a dog bed in the kitchen.

08:11I mean, clearly.

08:16I am dying to know the color palette in your bedroom.

08:20Would you mind showing me?

08:21Yes, let's do it.

08:22I love this blue door.

08:25Did you paint this yourself?

08:26I did.

08:27I feel like it's just a really fun pop and a way to separate the space.

08:32Painting something like a French door is so low stakes.

08:34You can switch it up all the time.

08:38What other alterations have you made in this apartment besides coloring a door blue?

08:43So we change the ceiling lights in every room, actually.

08:47It changes a space so much and, you know, you can always change a light back similar to

08:53painting a door.

08:54Like a very renter-friendly hack that really transforms a space.

09:01Okay, so I noticed that Margo is taking a little nap under this bench here.

09:06Can you tell me about this space?

09:07Yes, so this is, like, not a formal bed, but she loves this little blanket.

09:14She's claimed this coffee table as her little zone and her den.

09:21You do have a crate.

09:23Yes.

09:23Is she crate trained?

09:25She is crate trained, and that was honestly, like, the biggest hurdle.

09:29And I do work right here, so having the crate here was really helpful in the crate training.

09:34Have her associate it as her space and, like, a happy zone.

09:39And I noticed that while this is a typical metal crate, same one that I use with all my foster

09:45dogs, you still made it cute.

09:47What is this cover that you have on top of it?

09:49This is honestly just a tablecloth.

09:51No way!

09:52Crates are not cute.

09:54We opted for the classic crate and then just draped a tablecloth over.

09:59Genius!

10:01As soon as I walked in, I saw this incredible piece.

10:04Can you please tell me about this Margo painting?

10:07Yeah, this is a piece from the artist Carly Beck.

10:10This was a custom painting that I got as a gift for Garrett.

10:15It's Margo at Bellarmine's Bar on the Upper East Side, and it's one of our favorite places.

10:20I love an artist that is really good at making pet portraits.

10:24Yeah, of course.

10:25That's, like, my number one requirement.

10:26Yes.

10:29Margo has been sleeping like an angel this entire time that we've been in here.

10:33Anna, thank you so much for showing me your apartment with Margo.

10:39I got so many ideas for my own space.

10:42I really need to step my game up.

10:44I feel like seeing the way that you have thoughtfully created this space really represents who you

10:48are as people.

10:49And it is so obvious how much love and care you put into it and how much you love Margo,

10:55and I'm very inspired.

10:57Yeah, I feel like we got really lucky with how she was seamlessly integrated within our

11:02home and not much really changed about it other than her sort of claiming these different

11:08spots in each room, which we love.
