00:30room is a kitchen because I love to cook every Sunday all our friends coming here we cook together
00:37and we have this amazing dinners together it's extra nice because we don't have our families in
00:43the United States you feel like at home you feel like you're surrounded by one big family this is
00:47our dining area with the big dining table I don't know about you guys but I love building Ikea furniture
00:54it's like playing with Lego or something it was two hundred and fifty dollars which is not that
00:59expensive for this huge table it fits almost 12 people so you're gonna notice that I have a lot
01:06of the stools it's just because we have a lot of people coming over so let me guys know how
01:11many
01:11stools you can count in the comments so this is my living room I'm from Russia my boyfriend August is
01:17from Sweden and for the last five years we've been just like traveling around the world that's why we
01:23kind of keep it simple we keep it minimalistic every time we shop for the furniture we usually buy not
01:28expensive and affordable things and we usually buy it from Ikea and I actually love that because it's
01:34Swedish the other day I was just browsing my Facebook feed and I saw the ads for a sheep stool
01:40so of course I got it and it was only $50 I feel like now we have two pets the
01:45one thing I usually carry
01:47with me around the world is my little orange box where I keep all the Polaroids and pictures with my
01:54friends also August draw us a family portrait where you can see me August and this little black spot
02:02which is my dog pusher we got this carpet but our dog decided it's gonna be his little corner so
02:10basically he owns it right now so me and August moved in together brought his record collection and the
02:15record player so I got this record when I was at the concert of Jens Lekman it's a Swedish artist
02:21and
02:21he signed it specially for August and it says for stranger it was just beginning of relationship so
02:27everything was a little bit spicy some walls leaking we have some stains on the wall sometimes but we
02:33have an amazing landlord and they will take care of that in like two weeks or even less this is
02:38the
02:39bathroom they keep everything super simple and clean just because I don't want to focus on like
02:44any bright colors when I'm relaxing in my bathtub I've store everything on the shelves so here you
02:51can see it's a little bit messy but then you close it and it looks perfectly and then I also
02:57have this
02:57amazing would you bottles white and clean and like super sleek design for your favorite shampoo in there
03:03and it looks just perfectly in this white interior what else I buy from Muji is those toothbrush holders
03:09which I feel like super super cute and here we have my bedroom I'm a co-founder of this company
03:16called
03:16sleeper it's a sleepwear brand our pajamas and rope you can not only wear inside but you can also wear
03:24it
03:24outside my bedroom also has this rack where I put all the sleeper stuff I sometimes use my bedroom as
03:32a showroom the
03:33most expensive thing in my apartment is this Casper mattress which I got through the partnership with
03:39sleeper and I'm super lucky it's two thousand dollars mattress I feel really fancy when I sleep here since
03:46I've been working in fashion almost 10 years now and that kind of made me realize the true cost of
03:52the
03:52product so I would never spend a lot of money on the clothes and things like that so same as
03:59my apartment
04:00my wardrobe is really clean really simple in my next apartment what I'm looking for is to have in
04:06a second bedroom I would use as in my office and also the place where my friends can stay because
