my forever home

wait she has a blog!?

i know, i know…it’s crazy to think it’s been two and a half years since i even thought about writing a blog post, but with my new apartment having just been completed, i wanted one home for all of the details. so now, how did we even get here!? well, the last time i made a blog post, i was still in my pink jewel box studio apartment and some of you may have found me via the tour that went viral on tiktok! that apartment lasted me a little over three years and after spending almost all of quarantine there, i came to realize i had outgrown it and began the search for a new apartment.

michigan bedroom redesign

it’s round 2 for doing a redesign with shannon (i first had her do my apartment in nyc!); and this time, it’s my bedroom at my parents house!

to give a little backstory of my parent’s house at the moment, they had a house fire two years ago and as a result they had to move out of the house that i lived most of my adolescent life in and into the house they are currently in. all of the furniture i had in my bedroom at the “fire house” was gone so they placed miscellaneous and mismatched furniture that was salvaged into the guest bedrooms for when my brother and/or i visit.

a few weeks ago it was becoming clear that the shutdown was going to be significantly longer than expected so i wanted to take this time to give my bedroom a little refresh. i reached out to shannon and she threw together a perfect design board in just days!
