The other day, I was walking through my neighborhood and stopped dead in front of a sage-green house with white trim and a wide, welcoming porch. You know that kind of house that makes you slow down, maybe even pretend to tie your shoe just to sneak another look? That was me. There’s something about…
Let me be honest with you: I never thought I’d be a “green couch” person. I’ve always played it safe with beige or gray sofas because they’re easy, neutral, and, well… boringly practical. But then one day, while scrolling (aka procrastinating laundry), I saw a velvet green couch styled with gold accents and warm wood….
There’s a moment in almost every kitchen’s life where the table — the humble centerpiece of family dinners, late-night snacks, and abandoned homework assignments — starts to look… well, a little sad. Mine? It had water rings from too many iced coffees, paint smudges from a “let’s try DIY” weekend that went sideways, and one…
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always had this dream of waking up in one of those sun-drenched coastal cottages you see in magazines — white curtains billowing in the salty breeze, a creaky wooden floor under bare feet, and the faint sound of waves outside the window. Reality check: I live nowhere near…
Let me start with a confession: when I was first dreaming up a nursery, I got way too deep into Pinterest. You know those dreamy photos where every pillow is perfectly fluffed, there’s a $900 crib that looks like modern art, and not a single burp cloth in sight? Yeah. I wanted that. And then…
Here’s the truth: I didn’t even know “cottagecore” was a thing until I fell down a Pinterest rabbit hole one night (you know, the kind where you promise yourself “just five minutes” before bed and suddenly it’s 1 a.m. and you’re planning your imaginary life in the English countryside). But once I stumbled into it,…
I don’t know about you, but sometimes my apartment feels like a storage unit with throw pillows. There’s a pile of shoes by the door that refuses to stay organized, a stack of books teetering on my side table (decor or chaos? I can’t decide), and yes—there’s definitely a mug of cold coffee hiding somewhere…
I don’t know about you, but I love natural light — until I remember that natural light also means my neighbors can see way too much. When I first moved into my apartment, I was so excited about the big living room window. I imagined morning coffee in my pajamas, sunshine streaming in… and then,…
When I first stumbled into the world of Scandinavian design, it wasn’t through glossy magazines or Pinterest boards—it was while standing in my friend’s tiny Stockholm apartment kitchen. She handed me coffee in a simple ceramic mug, and I swear I spent more time staring at her kitchen shelves than actually drinking it. Everything had…
If I’m being honest, my sunroom was originally the place where furniture went to die. An old armchair here, a coffee table with one wobbly leg there… It was more “forgotten storage zone” than “bright, happy retreat.” But one spring morning, as I sat in there drinking coffee and trying to ignore the squeaky floorboards…
