Classically Abby - My YouTube STUDIO TOUR! 🎥 ｜｜ My background, workspace, and more...

00:00:00.560 well hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's video where I'm going to be 1.00

00:00:05.760 giving you a tour of my studio space

00:00:30.000 so I thought that I would start here which is a sort of a different view of my

00:00:42.440 background but it's just the same background you see in all of my videos

00:00:45.880 and I thought I would give you guys a little bit of an explanation for a lot

00:00:50.240 of the things that are back here where I got them what they mean to me if

00:00:53.760 they're just decor or if they have some special meaning to me and so I thought I

00:00:57.700 would start here just because this is what you guys see and are familiar with

00:01:00.460 so first off these plants I got from either TJ Maxx or Burlington Coat Factory

00:01:06.580 I don't want to have real live plants in the backgrounds of my videos just

00:01:10.240 because that's a lot of pressure if something gets away from me then all of

00:01:13.540 a sudden my background is a problem having fake plants just works well for

00:01:17.800 this kind of thing I would at some point in my life like to do gardening I would

00:01:22.120 really really love to do it I did it as a kid but I have this weird thing that like

00:01:25.780 I don't want to plant a garden that I'm gonna have to leave and because we're

00:01:29.740 renters I don't feel comfortable really putting in a ton of effort into a garden

00:01:35.340 that I'm just going to have to inevitably leave behind but at some point in my

00:01:39.040 life I want to do that and I'll probably be asking you guys for a lot of advice

00:01:42.760 when I do start next up this candle I also got from TJ Maxx I just love the scent I

00:01:50.280 smelled this and I loved it but I also love the way it looks it's so pretty and

00:01:55.280 feminine and so I like having it in the background of my videos but at some

00:01:58.660 point maybe when I switch up my background for fall I'll use a different

00:02:03.060 candle here so that I can actually burn this one because I really like the

00:02:06.240 smell of it next up let's talk about the books that I have in here so I'm gonna

00:02:09.800 pretty much ignore these ones just because they're not really in my videos

00:02:12.760 and they're just tour books so it's not really that interesting but these books I

00:02:16.800 chose because I like the way they looked and they all have meaning to me so

00:02:19.800 Mozart on the stage I love Mozart this is a really cool book that I haven't had

00:02:24.300 the opportunity to finish so I'm excited to actually go ahead and read this whole

00:02:27.780 thing but you know Mozart's amazing and it's very much on theme on brand for

00:02:33.420 classically Abbey so I like having that back here I also have my tonal harmony

00:02:37.760 book which is a great book if you want to learn music theory and I want to go back

00:02:41.460 and review some of the things that I learned in school because I just find it

00:02:44.580 really fascinating so that's back here this was actually a gift from one of my

00:02:49.200 husband's groomsmen for our wedding and it's a book of kitchen gardening with a

00:02:53.700 bunch of seeds so I've kept these because I would really like to plant them when we

00:02:58.080 do have that forever home or at least more of a permanent home so this is

00:03:03.660 something I've had in the background of my videos and I just love it and I

00:03:06.060 actually just kept it exactly how it was given to us with the ribbon and

00:03:09.180 everything and it means a lot so I like having that here next up I have this book

00:03:13.400 which is called the Parisian chic look book I love this book it's really fun to

00:03:17.900 read and it's just a lot of pictures which I really like not that I agree

00:03:21.920 with every single outfit but it does give me some inspiration on the days where I

00:03:25.400 don't feel like I have enough and it's just a fun really cool looking book too I

00:03:29.840 really like the cover I also have just a few notebooks in here that I've used

00:03:34.640 throughout the years they're kind of like my journals and at some point I like

00:03:37.800 the idea that I have them so 10 years from now I can look back on certain years and

00:03:41.880 think oh this is what I did then this is what I did then and that's kind of fun I

00:03:45.120 bought this book when I was younger called 50 things every young lady should

00:03:48.600 know and it's very cute and informative for young women so I really like it I

00:03:52.200 really like the way it looks and I like what it talks about it's pretty nice next

00:03:56.940 up I have stuff every bride should know which I bought before our wedding and I

00:04:01.500 love this book it's so cute it's just petite and it has so much good

00:04:05.700 information in it plus it made me feel really excited about being a bride so I

00:04:09.300 really like this one and I also like the way that the binding looks in my

00:04:12.660 bookcase last but not least of the books because everything else in here is

00:04:16.300 notebooks I have East of Eden which I did review on my channel I love this book

00:04:20.540 loved it loved it loved it highly recommend it you should definitely read

00:04:24.240 it if you haven't on I'll link the review up above here but this is a great

00:04:27.720 book and I like having it in the background in my videos because it's

00:04:30.360 something I talked about in a video as far as the wall hangings the lights I

00:04:34.320 actually got on Amazon I'll try and find something similar because I got them a

00:04:37.420 a while ago I actually bought these lights when I moved to New York the very

00:04:41.200 first time and they turned out to be a really good purchase because I've used

00:04:44.080 them in every single one of my videos maybe not the very very first one besides

00:04:48.280 that they've always been a part of my channel and then the wallflower hangings

00:04:53.080 those are from TJ Maxx or Burlington Coat Factory I can't remember which one but I

00:04:57.820 just really like the way they looked I thought they were very pretty they added

00:05:00.100 some dimension to the background of my videos so now talking about this side of my

00:05:04.920 videos I have all of my perfumes here which I get a ton of questions about

00:05:09.720 people are always asking me what are the perfumes that you have in the

00:05:12.920 background of your videos and I have been collecting these perfumes for a long

00:05:16.500 time most of them are not very expensive one of them is from Target it's called

00:05:21.420 Silver Coast let me grab it it looks like this and it has a it smells a little bit

00:05:27.200 more masculine but I like that for the winter and it also kind of has this beachy

00:05:33.080 scent sort of and I really like the way that this smells and again I think it's

00:05:37.400 really nice for winter time I also just think it's a very sleek looking bottle

00:05:40.740 which is why I like it in the background next up I have this black fleece perfume

00:05:45.200 by Brooks Brothers and this also smells really nice I really like the scent of it

00:05:50.900 it's very unique and I really can't describe it I'm not very good with scents and

00:05:54.380 describing them but I would say this is more of a fall winter scent as well this is

00:05:58.880 the newest addition to my collection this is silhouette by Christian Siriano and

00:06:03.860 I love this perfume it's so feminine and it's a little bit more sweet than a lot of

00:06:09.680 the perfumes that I wear my skin reacts with perfumes very often and brings out

00:06:14.480 the sweet undertone and makes it kind of hard to smell it doesn't smell very good

00:06:19.000 but this one for some reason and this is why I bought it is sweet but it doesn't

00:06:23.480 smell bad on me and I'm very very happy about that so I bought this and this one is

00:06:27.860 more year-round I wear this pretty much all the time and it's not very seasonal

00:06:32.720 so I like that I can wear this whenever I want to next up I have this Toca

00:06:36.080 perfume in Simone I love this it's so summery to me it's summer in a perfume

00:06:43.340 and it's just it's so citrusy and I love the way it smells so I love the bottle

00:06:49.220 too it's gorgeous and I'm very very happy because this is like my summer scent

00:06:53.660 every time summer comes around this is what I'm wearing last but not least I have

00:06:57.740 this which is Le de Coco I don't even know where this is from but I got this a

00:07:02.540 very long time ago when I was living in New York and it smells just like coconuts

00:07:06.680 I love the smell of coconuts so this is also a good summer scent but I really

00:07:12.020 really like it and it's a it's a very straightforward bottle but I like the

00:07:16.100 different heights and patterns in my bottles of perfumes because I think they

00:07:20.300 add some pretty dimension to my background lastly I have this candle which was given

00:07:24.380 to me for my wedding by a very good friend from Manhattan School of Music

00:07:27.560 and it says hers and my husband she also gave a candle and his says his and mine

00:07:32.620 has very flowery scent and his is more masculine so I really liked this for the

00:07:37.220 background of my videos because this is my space it's hers and I also just think

00:07:41.600 it's very pretty and again I would like this more often but it's generally in the

00:07:45.860 background so I like being able to smell it anyway the boxes on this side of my

00:07:50.480 background were actually given to me by that same friend and I don't think she

00:07:54.320 knew that I was going to use them in the backgrounds of my videos that this was

00:07:56.540 going to become a very important part of my YouTube channel but it is and I

00:08:01.820 love the patterns on them and they also store some things for me like mail and

00:08:06.320 some thank-you notes and things like that so I use them and they're also very

00:08:10.760 pretty for my background and last but not least are my fashion drawings that are on

00:08:14.780 the wall here those are from Amazon and my husband actually bought them for me

00:08:18.760 because I had said oh I think these are really pretty I think they would go well

00:08:21.460 with my background but I can't justify paying for it and he said you should do

00:08:25.000 it he just bought it and didn't even ask me which was really nice because they've

00:08:29.020 made a huge difference to my background so that is the story of everything in my

00:08:33.340 background now let's move on to the other parts of my studio well welcome to my

00:08:38.200 vanity this is where I do what my makeup sometimes I do my work here sometimes I

00:08:43.320 just sit where I film and do my work there but this is my vanity and this

00:08:47.800 vanity actually belonged to my husband before we got married and he was using

00:08:51.920 it as a desk and I pointed out to him I think this might be a vanity because

00:08:56.020 there's a lot of drawers for makeup and stuff and he was like oh my gosh that

00:08:59.860 makes so much more sense than what I was using it for so I love this vanity it is

00:09:04.880 so beautiful and it really does have like amazing storage for all of my makeup this

00:09:09.880 is the only place I store makeup I have nowhere else so clearly it holds enough that I

00:09:13.960 don't need a bunch of storage space I got this mirror from Bed Bath & Beyond and it

00:09:19.600 does have different light settings but the fact is I don't really use them

00:09:22.060 because they're not strong enough to make a huge difference but I enjoy having a

00:09:25.780 mirror there anyway that's very important these are my brushes I have two

00:09:29.920 little mugs filled with brushes these are all clean right now I haven't used these

00:09:35.020 in a while and then these are all dirty so I'm probably going to switch between them

00:09:38.980 this one is probably going to get cleaned and then I'll switch to those up here you can see

00:09:42.880 many of the products that I use I use setting sprays I use my foundations are

00:09:47.380 up there and I also have a brush cleaner as well as a couple of makeup sponges

00:09:52.840 and I have a little fan that I use for after doing setting spray so I can just

00:09:56.440 kind of do that I moved over to this side so you guys could see my calendar

00:10:02.560 which I just bought and I've been using that as my content calendar which is very

00:10:05.800 very useful you can also see my music stand is over there it's stored in the

00:10:09.460 corner over there away from my actual filming space and then I also have a

00:10:13.780 picture of me and my husband a little coaster for my coffee or tea and lantern

00:10:19.660 that I got way back when in my masters to decorate my dorm room and back to the

00:10:25.720 middle here I have my pens a couple of notebooks that I use for notes when I'm

00:10:29.440 planning my content as well as my phone which is just everywhere right we all need

00:10:35.140 our phones so that's where this is so normally when I am working here I have

00:10:39.640 these windows open which is really nice it gives me a lot of peace and I love

00:10:43.920 natural light so having those open is one of my favorite places to sit is right

00:10:48.640 here because I get all that natural light and I'm facing a window so now we are

00:10:52.780 opposite the side of the room that I usually film in and we have another

00:10:56.640 window which is great because the light is facing me when I'm filming I also have

00:11:01.380 my piano behind me which I use to learn my music and also sometimes I like to

00:11:05.800 practice piano although I'm not good so I don't want anyone thinking that I

00:11:09.500 actually play well I do not but I do sometimes practice because I find that

00:11:13.900 it's calming I also have a couple of pieces of artwork on here artwork because

00:11:19.480 one of them is my own pieces so I don't know if you would call it art but but the

00:11:23.340 first piece is this one which was given to me by a friend who was in madama

00:11:27.820 butterfly with me she illustrated this and I think it's so pretty I love it so I

00:11:32.320 love having it in the background when I'm practicing it's really nice and then

00:11:36.500 this is a drawing I did actually I believe I did this at the beginning of

00:11:39.640 quarantine of my wedding gown and I just think it's really pretty and I like

00:11:44.620 looking at it it makes me happy so putting that on my piano is another nice

00:11:48.220 thing that I like to do and then in the back over there is a standing mirror

00:11:51.940 that is also my jewelry cabinet so inside there is all of my jewelry I

00:11:56.500 absolutely love my jewelry cabinet getting my jewelry cabinet was a very

00:12:00.220 exciting thing for me because I had always said when I got married when I

00:12:03.640 had my first home I really wanted to have a place where I could display all of

00:12:07.480 my jewelry so that I could actually see what I had and wear it more often and I

00:12:11.500 have found that since having this I do wear more jewelry more often I do mix it up

00:12:16.360 more frequently because I actually know what I own so I really am happy with it and

00:12:21.160 it's a mirror which is very nice okay guys so we are in the very last corner of the

00:12:25.620 room and this is where I keep all of my hair stuff so I've got my headbands my

00:12:29.520 hair tools my hair sprays and I've been using tins that I saved from other things

00:12:34.800 to put my scrunchies in or any other kind of hair stuff that I need so bobby pins or

00:12:41.700 whatever and all of that is stored right in this thing I love this I love the way

00:12:45.780 it's angled so stuff can kind of be easy for me to grab and I really appreciate that

00:12:50.520 and it's right next to my piano here plus I have a few pieces of art scattered

00:12:55.560 here and there around the room and I actually used to have this in the

00:12:58.440 background of my videos but I moved it over to this corner and I love it here I

00:13:02.340 think it's really pretty and it does exactly what I would like it to do but

00:13:05.400 that's everything that's the studio and I had a really good time showing you guys

00:13:08.640 around showing you my little space that feels very feminine and very much my own

00:13:13.740 and I really love that so I'd love to hear what your guys's office space is like or if you just even have a desk how do you

00:13:20.220 decorate it to make it feel like your own little space I'd love to hear in the
