See Inside Serena Pitt & Joe Amabile’s Adorable 640-sq-ft One-Bedroom NYC Apartment!
Apartment tour!
Bachelor Nation fan favorite couple Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt found love and got engaged on Season 7 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Shortly after, they moved in together in New York City to their first home as a couple.
Now, Joe and Serena are giving fans a behind-the-scenes tour of their NYC home in a new YouTube video.
Serena kicked off the vlog by saying, “Welcome to our apartment tour vlog. Joe signed the lease on this apartment around a year ago now and we just resigned it for another year, so we thought showing you a more intimate look into our space and the things that we love about it would be a great way to celebrate.”
The Bachelor Nation star discussed how they found most of their décor and gave a shout-out to their stylist.
Serena said, “Last June we had the wonderful Alexandra Garter and her team come in from Toronto and help us make over the living room, kitchen, and front entryway area. It just made it feel more homey, and they do amazing renter-friendly makeovers. … It’s a tiny apartment. I think it’s about 640 square feet!”
Joe joined Serena for the vlog and showed off some of his favorite items, like his fancy Monopoly board and coffee table books.
Serena shared some behind-the-scenes tea, like that they don’t know how to turn on some of their lights and that they use their TV console for additional clothing storage.
The couple also took fans into their kitchen, where they had a custom island made for the small space.
While they were bummed they couldn’t redo the kitchen cabinets or backsplash, Serena said, “It really does fit everything that we need.”
She also shared that they’ve gotten more dishes since Joe first moved into this place alone, saying, “When I first met Joe, I think he had two plates, two bowls, two forks, two knives, two spoons, two cups.”
Serena kept it real and revealed they haven’t done much work on redesigning their bathroom and that the shower curtain is missing hooks, but they are grateful for all the storage space in the bathroom.
Joe chimed in and shared why he has three toothbrushes, saying, “This is my one I travel with. This is my morning toothbrush. And this is going in the garbage because I don’t need it anymore. So I guess this is my morning and night toothbrush now.”
Serena took fans into their bedroom where she explained that they kept a lot of Joe’s Restoration Hardware furniture from his previous apartment.
She also showed off their photo wall gallery and said there are “so many meaningful memories up on this wall.”
How sweet!
Before ending the vlog, Serena said, “We’re excited to enjoy this space for another year, maybe two. We’re still popping around between Toronto and Chicago too, but we feel like this space has really come together and is a fun reflection of us.”
Joe added that, “And it’s a great building. We really like it. Everyone that works here is great and we’re in an ideal location. For New York, can’t really beat it!”
