  • Why did we decide to do this for Maya?

  • We decided to do this for Maya because

  • Maya has so much flair and personality,

  • she inspires me with her "awesomenass," as she says it,

  • [laughter] and I just think that she really deserves

  • a space that reflects her personality

  • and her amazing flair that she puts into her outfits

  • and her videos and everything.

  • And her space is really cool. It has really great bones.

  • But she just needed to pull it together.

  • We're also doing the space because

  • it's our new series called, OMG, We're Coming Over.

  • Kate: Where we go over and help all these people who have

  • really awesome personalities, know how to express themselves,

  • but they just don't know how to pull their homes together.

  • But the twist is, it's all Internet stars.

  • So Maya's the first digitally famous home we've been in,

  • and we're going to do a bunch more.

  • ♪ ♪ Maya: Yeah.

  • This is MTV Cribs, and you about to get a tour.

  • Let's get in.

  • Nah, this is YouTube, and this is my bohemian drag pad.

  • Yeah. Come through. Come through. [laughter]

  • What up, beautiful people? It is your homegirl, Ms. Shameless,

  • all up in your building.

  • All up in my new redecorated, revamped home,

  • all thanks to Mr. Kate and Joey and her fabulous team.

  • They came in and turned my life inside out.

  • And when I mean inside out, I mean taking my inner

  • drag bohemian goddess and putting it out

  • into my home.

  • But basically, my home was my office. It was my work.

  • I didn't know when to shut off and stay on,

  • because everything I did was work.

  • And I started to hire staff, so we'd been working

  • out of my living room, and finally I was like, okay,

  • I think I need to move into an office.

  • And now the office needs help,

  • so we're going to do another video on that.

  • That's another video.

  • But today, this is my home tour,

  • and I'm going to take you with me through parts of my home,

  • not all of it, okay?

  • So my living room -- this is my favorite place in the home.

  • I love to recline on my couch.

  • I will say the couch is a little personal conversation piece

  • that I worked on. It was a DIY project.

  • And it was a couch that I bought on Craigslist

  • that I reupholstered.

  • It took me months to complete,

  • but I also did it on my own time.

  • But I have the couch that I wanted, which was a teal couch.

  • And it was kind of like the starting of the conversation,

  • and then Kate did this fabulous wall art.

  • I was saying that I wanted to have a wall

  • that I could take photos and selfies in front of,

  • so this is what she did. What else?

  • The marble table, I got from West Elm.

  • These chairs were thrifted.

  • You've got to go over to Kate's channel to find out from where.

  • Oh, and this was a super-fun DIY project we did together.

  • I told Kate that I love,

  • absolutely am obsessed with disco balls.

  • So instead of spending tons of money, we did a DIY project

  • with these Chinese lanterns, and look at them.

  • All you need is some spray glue, some glitter,

  • possibly a glue gun with some mirrors, and voila.

  • My favorite is this egg chair. It's so cute.

  • It's so photogenic.

  • And this television, OMG. This television is huge.

  • And she's curved. She has curves. I love it.

  • I love it for watching Game of Thrones, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,

  • The 100.

  • My plants. Let's talk about my plants.

  • That's Benny, that's Pamela.

  • This is Five.

  • Trina.

  • That's Sylvia.

  • But I have two new plants, and I didn't even give them names.

  • So give them a name. Say my name, say my name...

  • in the comments below.

  • Now, moving along to my dining room.

  • This was the set of the slumber party,

  • and she was pink. She was fabulous. She was youthful.

  • Now Kate and Joey upped her to grown woman status.

  • She has a mirror. She has a thrifted, vintage mirror.

  • It's actually like a beige suede.

  • And the chairs -- I love the chairs.

  • The chairs were a DIY project, but Kate doesn't even know

  • how much of a nostalgic feeling I have with those chairs.

  • I had these chairs growing up.

  • And yes, this is the dining room where the three queens

  • come to eat.

  • They're perched there. That's a conversation piece.

  • And also like a play piece, so you could grab the wigs,

  • come in front of my wall and have some fun, take some photos.

  • Oh, right over here in my hallway, this is the hallway,

  • and this is where I constantly am reminded

  • about the work I did with Prince.

  • Art direction and photography by Maya...

  • [trails off mock-sobbing]

  • And then moving into my dressing room --

  • now this was a project that Kate and Joey didn't do,

  • but my homegirl Nattie [ph.] -- she came in

  • and turned my life around.

  • It used to be the guest room.

  • She was like, uh, Maya, what are you doing with this space?

  • I'm going to make it cute.

  • Because I don't have a closet in my bedroom, so

  • we turned this -- we -- taking credit for work I didn't do.

  • She turned this into my drag dressing room.

  • Look. Every queen needs some feather piece, some glitter.

  • Now, this is where all the trickery happens,

  • where my face is put on layer by layer

  • before I go out into the real world.

  • I love it, and you, Nattie. I wish you didn't [ph.] --

  • anyways, that's her. Yay.

  • Look at this. [laughter] Chocolate by YouTube.

  • Shameless Maya. Love it.

  • Um, but yes. But this is where all my brushes are,

  • and I put them in the candle containers that I have.

  • And that's all she wrote, from guest room to glam room.

  • I love this space so much, honestly.

  • Kate and Joey, thank you guys and your team,

  • your fabulous team, for everything.

  • You have no idea.

  • I encourage everyone to take some time

  • and do a little something with your home

  • and maybe work on it a little bit at a time.

  • I was so blessed to have them come in,

  • because I had been working on this place for a year,

  • but because I'm so busy I just don't have time.

  • Being able to leave my office and come home and relax

  • and not do work is an amazing feeling,

  • and to veg out and watch shows --

  • that's my escape from all the craziness that happens.

  • I'm so grateful. This is gorgeous.

  • And I can't wait to see all the other episodes,

  • all the other homes you turn out.

  • Make sure you guys click over here,

  • go over to their channel, check it out,

  • and I think Jackie likes it.

  • You like it, Jackie?

  • Okay, boos, until next time, remember to do you.

  • Be Shameless.
