AlexiskristianaAre the kids crammed?” “Does it feel chaotic with five people?” “One bathroom?! Yikes…..” Since moving our family of five back to NYC and downsizing by over 1,000 sq. ft., I’ve gotten sooo many questions about what our day-to-day actually looks like. We’ve had so much fun sharing the design process of turning this apartment into our home, ( and still have SO much to do) but one thing I’ve focused on heavily is function before aesthetics. You can make any room look pretty, but in New York, every inch really has to serve a purpose especially with kids. This video is such a good example of why. When your space is designed around how your family actually lives, the whole day just flows better. Our apartment is smaller, but it genuinely doesn’t feel cramped to us because almost everything has a purpose and a system behind it. And this was only about 3 hours of our day. There’s still so much I could show you, playroom/homeschool weekend resets, meal prep, how I organize our weeks without childcare or family nearby… all of it. We’re still figuring things out as we go, but I’m having so much fun sharing what downsizing and raising three kids in NYC actually looks like. What do you want to see next? Comment or DM any questions I’m an open book 🫶🏽 #nycfamily #downsizing #nycapartments #nycmom #smallspaceliving
