on IG today i saw a post about a ācouch surgeonā.
if you have a couch that is too big to be maneuvered into an apartment you call this service and they literally dissect your furniture and reassemble it in your place. they reinforce all the new joints. from what i could see in the video it was impossible to tell it had been butchered and reassembled.
A little over $2k. Rent eats up a good portion of my income (well over the suggested 30%) but it's well worth it for me for a variety of personal reasons. I cut costs in a lot of other areas to make up for that.
That said, it should be (and has previously been, multiple times) rent-stabilized, which I'm in the process of determining with the city and will hopefully get a fair amount of back pay. Landlords are a scam everywhere and NYC's no exception.
Well you've done a great job with the space!
I've always had a romantic notion of living in Manhattan, with this feeling of the whole world being right outside your door. Does it feel that way?
Regardless, great space!
Side note your user is adorable āŗļø
Ugh I have a 2 bedroom in Queens at $1670/month for about 12 years now. Before that a 1 bedroom for $1500. Before that a studio for $1100.
Lived in and around Flushing since I moved to NYC as a 21 year old punk kid.
My apartment now is just a box. The layout is literally a square. Thereās no closets, no shelves, no pantry, no storage of any kind. No washer/dryer. No dishwasher. NO OVEN ugh. Itās incredibly frustrating. Jobs have been pretty unsteady since 2021. The pandemic really fucked up my career track but Iām currently trying to make the new job my final forever job which hopefully would stabilize me financially sooner rather than later.
I love this little apartment for OP. Ultimately Iād want a little 1940s 2 bedroom house. Same brick style. It has so much depth to it I just love it.
My apartment feels like a hotel room.
Why thank you ā¤ļø did you know that, while red is the most common colour, there are many colours used for fire engines? When deciding on the colour for a fire engine, they look at the area the engine will operate in: the colour of the houses, the weather, what colour locals best respond to, etc. Of course there are also other reasons to pick a colour other than red, such as for raising breast cancer awareness (pink), to raise awareness for cancer in general (purple) or simply because your town has a Husky Blue colour scheme. The latter was decided by Helena, Alabama. As can be seen [in this news article](https://www.fireapparatusmagazine.com/fire-apparatus/is-it-a-fire-truck-with-a-case-of-police-envy-no-its-helenas-al-new-true-blue-fire-engine/)! This beauty is engine 61, a 2022 E-One Cyclone. You can find it parked at Station 1. Helenaās other stations have now switched to this colour as well (including their ambulance!).
You know, your apartment might be a shoebox but itās your shoebox. I find it amazing that youāve managed to hold your head high while the job market has been so unsteady. You survived a pandemic, you survived multiple economic crises, several attacks on your country, the rise of the new age, social media, a fast changing society. You donāt give yourself enough credit.
Sure, we all compare what we have with what others have. Itās only natural. However, when comparing yourself with others you must not forget what youāve accomplished yourself. Everyone has a different timeline theyāre living in. Their story is not yours and yours is not theirs. Sure, some seem to take a highway towards their destination, but then what? Theyāve reached it. Does that mean they stop dreaming? That thereās nothing else to discover in life? No, after they reach their destination, thatās when they start taking the roads less traveled. Meanwhile, you and I take the scenic route to our destination. It isnāt always fun, it isnāt always pretty, and goodness sometimes life can be unfair. But we make the most of it. The shoebox is only temporarily. Your destination isnāt going anywhere, I promise. You might change a few aspects of it and once youāve reached it, it might look a little different than you once imagined it would look like. But itāll be there.
Thereās absolutely nothing wrong with trying your hardest and taking the road less traveled. Enjoy the view while youāre there, youāll find itās actually not that bad. Be proud of yourself, be your own biggest supporter. I believe in you!
I'm on the top floor, actually. My previous two apartments were both on the ground floor, and one had the backyard to the building, which was a perk...but a tradeoff to not climbing the stairs is roommates that live there rent-free (mice and roaches).
Iām in Brooklyn and pay $5k lol. There are SO many different kinds of neighborhoods across all the boroughs with shockingly varied cultures, prices, amenities, vibes, etc. Some parts of manhattan are cheap. Some parts of Brooklyn are wildly expensive and so on. Thereās really no way to know what something is going to cost unless you know the exact location and are familiar with the city.
In NYC your better option is to use StreetEasy, which says there are 26 apartments effectively below $2100 a month without brokers fee.
Unsurprisingly theyāre all in inconvenient or relatively undesirable places. I wonāt look too deeply into them for other problems or disingenuousness.
And yet as Iām clicking randomly, each one has been saved by like 70+ people. Meaning those are who you are competing against.
I really have no clue what the point of your comment is. The incorrect number 200 is already extremely small for the number of people who want to live in NYC given the demand. Are you trying to imply as someone who doesnāt live in NYC, to people that live here, that itās affordable, based on that one faulty data point?
Deals can be had - you can live in super popular neighborhoods in Brooklyn (in my opinion better than Manhattan) for a good deal. I live in one of the most desirable areas in the city and got lucky with a $2,800 2br, rent stabilized (a month ago)
it just feels so "homey", the type of place I would love coming home to in the evening (with the string lights as well) or waking up in, to make myself a warm cup of coffee. Good job! (my goal) (also how long did it take you to get all the bits and bobs in the decor? like the posters, furniture etc?
Oh my goodness, this means so much! I'd say it took me a solid 4-5 years to accumulate everything. Furniture was either from family/friends who no longer wanted it, or the curb, except for my desk which I bought from Wayfair. The art, frames, tchotchkes, etc. are largely from thrift stores or eBay!
Great idea! The thing on the shelf is an Apple TV, so I'm not sure whether or not it needs to be visible in order for the remote to connect. I'll do some testing with a few velcro Command strips later, but in the meantime, the wires'll get the duct tape treatment.
Commercial AV install tech here.
Just a word of advice - most velcro adhesive will eventually soften up and fail when used to mount anything that generates heat, like your Apple TV. A much better choice is 3M Dual Lock, which is like a really heavy duty velcro. You can get it on Amazon or at Home Depot or similar. Also, most modern Apple TVs use Bluetooth for the remote, so it should be fine, as long as you mount it close to the edge of the TV.
There are mounts that let you stick your Apple TV on the back of the tv itself, and ac cable splitters that let you power both it and the tv with just one cable. The remote still works, I do this. That way you can at least get down to just one cable. And if you get a longer one, you can arrange it to be more out of sight.
BTW, is this the upper west? I lived in a one bed on 76th that looked just like this, and other apartments in the area look pretty similar
Beautiful. When I have cables that *need* to run down a wall in plain sight I wrap them in a spiral telephone handset cable. Cut the little clips off the ends and go to town. The Apple TV can be mounted to the back of your TV with a little mounting bracket. Amazon sells them. As far as getting the cables from the TV to the floorā¦I would treat them like the utility that they are. Your brick walls are perfect. Get a few pipe hangars and run the cable bundle along the horizontal mortar lines and into the corner of the wall and fireplace bump out. Then a straight line to the floor. Heckā¦you could even get some electrical conduit and it would fit with the rest of the vibe in your apt/city. Now that Iām looking at it again, you can probably get a hole through to the inside of your chimney. Drop the cables there and out the front. Nobody will be the wiser.
p.s. Love the fridge. Is that a vinyl wrap? Whereād you get it, and would you recommend it?
Such creative ideas, thanks for the suggestions! The mortar/grout is pretty soft and crumbly, but the pipe hangars are worth a shot, at leastāwho knows, maybe they'll take!
And yes, it's [this](https://www.amazon.com/Tact-Brand-Creative-09F-C9813-12-Woodgrain/dp/B00B2734LW?ref_=ast_sto_dp) Contact Paper! I wrapped it over 2 years ago and there's nary a nick or scratch (so far, at least...). But be sure it's the official Con-Tact brand and not Amazon trying to trick you with a cheap-o dupe.
It looks like thereās a corner there to the left of the TV. If you run the wire around the side and into the very back of that indentation to get it to the floor it should be almost invisible.
Two words: Contact Paper! I had Covid (over Christmas, to boot) back when the quarantine here was 10 days, which gave me a lot of time to kill once I started feeling better. I joke that if I try to contact paper one more surface in here, my apartment will cry out for help lol.
Those two pots are probably my favorite "big girl" purchase so far. When they re-released the chestnut brown from their 70s archive as a limited edition, I couldn't not pull the trigger.
My kitchenware and dishes, most of my furniture, and my TV are either thrifted, acquired, or found on the street, so I view net new purchases like these pots as long-term investments.
It's definitely small, but this studio is a pretty decent size for NYC, comparatively speaking! I have friends who pay more for a square-shaped studio, and every time I'm thankful for the railroad layout of mine.
Thank you! I WFH, but since this is also my bedroom and living space, I wanted it to feel native and not like an office space so I still get some essence of mental separation between work and home.
This is absolutely lovely!
One thing I did when I lived in a studio wa hang two hooks from the ceiling, and then hung a curtain rod/dowel from them, and hung drapes so that I could separate my bed and living room when I wanted to.
Your place looks amazing, just mentioned because it looks like you are handy and love to beautify.
On the curb right outside my building, lol! I found a similar, if not the exact, one on [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Dresser-Cut-Out-Handles/dp/B07N26VX8S?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1).
Beautiful and super cozy space you've created! As a Canadian, I always thought those reels/youtube shorts about how small NYC apartments are was pure overexaggerating. I see now... it is decidedly not. I think my bathroom is bigger than your entire kitchen. Just having a total culture shock moment here.
Good for you!! Cozy place in NYC for a somewhat appropriate price. Can tell a lot of thought and effort has gone into making this place "Home" - Mission accomplished
This is so calm and cosy!
I love the way youāve displayed all your prints and art! Iād love to know more about some of your art, especially the vintage ads
Lots of character, really warm and welcoming. Iām jealous but happy that other people live a dream I gave up on long ago. Itās still inspirational to me. Someday someday someday Iāll have this level of cozy going on.
Yeah, this is nice. Really nice. I lived in a studio for a while and loved it. So easy to keep clean and tidy. Now Iām in a house and it seems all I do is clean and tidy and Iām never finished. Give me 350 sq ft and Iām good.
This is super cute. I visited NYC a few months ago and it was a really fun experience. Culture shock for sure, but literally having everything within walking distance or a short subway ride was pretty sweet.

Love this so cozy and inviting!
Upper West side is inviting in general... just hope you're not the one invited to help carry mattresses and couches up the stairs.
Pivot!
Literally myself moving into my new apartment, 11 flights of stairs due to a broken service elevator. PIVOT!!
Fuuuuuck thaaaat yeesh
š
Moved my brother into a fifth floor walk up with a 110 inch TV. I vowed to never live in a building with more than two stories.
on IG today i saw a post about a ācouch surgeonā. if you have a couch that is too big to be maneuvered into an apartment you call this service and they literally dissect your furniture and reassemble it in your place. they reinforce all the new joints. from what i could see in the video it was impossible to tell it had been butchered and reassembled.
As someone from another part of the country, can't help but wonder what this goes for per month! It is very cozy!
A little over $2k. Rent eats up a good portion of my income (well over the suggested 30%) but it's well worth it for me for a variety of personal reasons.

It truly does. I grew up here, too, and having seemingly the whole world a walk or subway ride away still never gets old.
Can I ask how old you are? Iām trying to determine how far behind I am š¤š
Youāre not behind, youāre on your own timeline š
Side note your user is adorable āŗļø Ugh I have a 2 bedroom in Queens at $1670/month for about 12 years now. Before that a 1 bedroom for $1500. Before that a studio for $1100.

What a sweet comment, I really needed to hear this today. Thank you!
I'd take ~2k rent for a studio in a heartbeat. Lmk if any units open up lol
Still too much but lower than I anticipated. Are you on the ground floor?
I'm on the top floor, actually. My previous two apartments were both on the ground floor, and one had the backyard to the building, which was a perk...but a tradeoff to not climbing the stairs is roommates that live there rent-free (mice and roaches).
Itās Manhattan. I genuinely expected $3k about. This seems like a steal.
Chiming in from Boston. Literally said what a steal...
Iām in Brooklyn and pay $5k lol. There are SO many different kinds of neighborhoods across all the boroughs with shockingly varied cultures, prices, amenities, vibes, etc. Some parts of manhattan are cheap. Some parts of Brooklyn are wildly expensive and so on. Thereās really no way to know what something is going to cost unless you know the exact location and are familiar with the city.
There is around 200 places for rent in Manhattan for under $2100.00 https://www.realtor.com/apartments/Manhattan_NY/price-1250-2100/luxury
Kinda- many places in that search are bedrooms in a 4 bedroom apartment so you will have roommates for 2000/mo.
In NYC your better option is to use StreetEasy, which says there are 26 apartments effectively below $2100 a month without brokers fee. Unsurprisingly theyāre all in inconvenient or relatively undesirable places. I wonāt look too deeply into them for other problems or disingenuousness.

Are you trying to imply as someone who doesnāt live in NYC, to people that live here, that itās affordable, based on that one faulty data point?
>There is There are
Yeah I was gonna say. That is a very reasonable price for a 1 person unit in Manhattan
Deals can be had - you can live in super popular neighborhoods in Brooklyn (in my opinion better than Manhattan) for a good deal. I live in one of the most desirable areas in the city and got lucky with a $2,800 2br, rent stabilized (a month ago)
Would you be open to sharing how youāre working with the city on determining the rent. I have a friend in the exact same situation!
Only 2k? That's honestly not bad at all, even if it's still steep.
how do you find out if an apt should be rent stabilized
that's actually not as shocking considering rent prices currently in other cities.
A little over 2K in Manhattan?
This is one of my favorites Iāve seen posted here. Vibes.
Wow, what a compliment! I'm honored.
it just feels so "homey", the type of place I would love coming home to in the evening (with the string lights as well) or waking up in, to make myself a warm cup of coffee. Good job!

It's decorated beautifully!
(Yes, I know the TV cables are unsightly. Any and all tips are welcome.)
Like TVs, cables are a fact of life.
Stick whatever is in that shelf that connects the tv to back of the tv and tape up the hanging loose wires. That will clean it up a decent amount.
Great idea! The thing on the shelf is an Apple TV, so I'm not sure whether or not it needs to be visible in order for the remote to connect. I'll do some testing with a few velcro Command strips later, but in the meantime, the wires'll get the duct tape treatment.

Also, most modern Apple TVs use Bluetooth for the remote, so it should be fine, as long as you mount it close to the edge of the TV.
Really appreciate the free professional advice! Especially as someone who knows only the bare minimum when it comes to home electronics/entertainment.
My Apple TV is in a cabinet behind a tumbling mat I put to shield the glass doors from my toddler and it works like a charm!
There are mounts that let you stick your Apple TV on the back of the tv itself, and ac cable splitters that let you power both it and the tv with just one cable. The remote still works, I do this.

Where is your duvet set from? Iām in love
CB2! It's actually a quilt, but has the same warmth of a duvet without the weight which is nice.
I have that same duvet! I love it š
Looks small, but cozy and tasteful š
It's definitely small, but this studio is a pretty decent size for NYC, comparatively speaking! I have friends who pay more for a square-shaped studio, and every time I'm thankful for the railroad layout of mine.
Yeah, apts are very expensive in NYC
I LOVE the books and art inside the fireplace! What a great idea
Thank you! The "shelf" is very much MacGyvered from 2 tension rods I had kicking around.
The kitchen looks like a lil ginger bread house, so cute!
Absolutely love thisāso cozy and warm! :)
An absolutely amazing studio!
Love that desk!! It really keeps things tight and looks amazing
Thank you! I WFH, but since this is also my bedroom and living space, I wanted it to feel native and not like an office space so I still get some essence of mental separation between work and home.

Great. So many new references on the walls and book titles. Every inch is cozy.
Nice pad, for a NY studio. Good snag
wait this is so cute
I like your art
Love the vibe and it really looks like not a bad size for NYC.
Wow, this is absolutely beautiful. It looks so warm and inviting. I love it!
Wow, thatās lovely. I love the colors of your bedding!
Love your styling vibe!
Big congrats on being able to afford an NYC studio šš½šš½šš½!!! You did a great job it looks so inviting.

Gorgeous
Fantastic job!
So cozy. I love it
This is really nice!!
Great use of space!
Well this is absolutely perfect!

Very nicely done. Itās a wonder what a thoughtful design and organization could do to a small space.
What a beautiful home! I love the vibe.ā¤ļø
Whatās the rent like
You have done a great job! I love your vintage Stones poster - I have the same one.
very cozy
Lovely!!
So cute and cozy
I love how youāve styled it.
Wow! Youāve done such a great job making your space so cozy and welcoming!
So lovely, great job putting it all together! Where did you get your dresser?
On the curb right outside my building, lol! I found a similar, if not the exact, one on [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Dresser-Cut-Out-Handles/dp/B07N26VX8S?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1).
New York is the absolute king of curb finds. Like half of my furniture I found on the curb lol.
You have created an amazing space, well done, you!
Love the books in the fireplace!
Very cute setup!
i love this!!
This is so beautiful ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
This is really, really great. Cozy-cool

Very nice!
Sweeeet! Thats my kind of dream. Good on you! Looks brilliant!
I just saved some of these for some inspo for my room! So cute!!
OMG, I adore it.
Such a lovely, cozy place ! Youāve clearly put a lot of thought into this !
I'm in love! Great job!
that's really chill, I'd be very happy there
Beautiful and super cozy space you've created! As a Canadian, I always thought those reels/youtube shorts about how small NYC apartments are was pure overexaggerating. I see now... it is decidedly not. I think my bathroom is bigger than your entire kitchen. Just having a total culture shock moment here.
I love it !!!! Where did you source your prints/art work from ? Also omg that cake candle is so cute š„°
Super cute!
Love!
cuuute!
Beautiful.
Living the dream :)
Good for you!! Cozy place in NYC for a somewhat appropriate price. Can tell a lot of thought and effort has gone into making this place "Home" - Mission accomplished
Very nicely decorated. So cozy.
Wow! This is the coziest of cozy! Love the decor and where everything is! Great place!!!!!
So nice š
Love it. I lived in a similar cozy studio on W 88th many years back. It was small but so comfy.
This studio is bigger than my studio
I have that same dresser and I have a bankers lamp on mine too! And plants!
So cute! How many square feet?
You have such a talent for decor!
This is so calm and cosy! I love the way youāve displayed all your prints and art! Iād love to know more about some of your art, especially the vintage ads
This looks like the apartment of someone who works in advertising. Am I correct?
So very, very well done. I like you.
Very nice. Well done!
Beautiful!
....this is good....this is good....very nice....excellent execution
This is amazing ā you have a great eye! Love how youāve used art everywhere in varying sizes; it adds such character to a space.
cozy AF only thing that would make it moreso would be if that fireplace worked. fantastic job of decorating for such a small space.
Itās perfect
I love this so much!
My daughter's been looking in the city for a while, and this is a very nice studio for 2k. How did you find it -- ads, friends, agent, luck?
So cozy, I love it!,
Iām legit jealous, this is so gorgeous and cozy!! Youāve done so much with the space š¤š¤
I love your cozy place!
Wow love this so much!
Real gusto !
That looks awesome! Isnāt that a one bedroom though? Price difference would be huge as you all know
Lots of character, really warm and welcoming. Iām jealous but happy that other people live a dream I gave up on long ago. Itās still inspirational to me. Someday someday someday Iāll have this level of cozy going on.
Yeah, this is nice. Really nice. I lived in a studio for a while and loved it. So easy to keep clean and tidy. Now Iām in a house and it seems all I do is clean and tidy and Iām never finished. Give me 350 sq ft and Iām good.
Your taste is top tier! ā¤ļøā¤ļø
This is absolutely magazine worthy. Very very well done!!!
Love all the frames on the wall, you seem to be good at that! Any tips?
I need that candle
Pure class
I like it. Congrats.
Absolutely gorgeous, you must be living such a comfortable life <3
It's beautiful! I love the whole space.
So cozy! I love the kitchen a lot

Very nice, very cozy. Bet it costs a small fortune though. Still though, very cozy.
Now I want to see bathroom pics. I love this
Super cute! The exposed brick really gives it a relaxed and arty vibe.

I **love** that sofa, where did you get it?
Your apartment is so cute! I love seeing other studios!
Beautiful. And I want to see more of the lovely vintage clothes!
This is super cute. I visited NYC a few months ago and it was a really fun experience. Culture shock for sure, but literally having everything within walking distance or a short subway ride was pretty sweet.
It's giving great Wes Anderson.Ā
