In the city I live in, condos and houses are SO expensive. Rent is also expensive, but my rent is about 2/3 what I would pay if I had a mortgage and common fees (and that’s not including the down payment which would be somewhere around $150k. I can take the bit of extra money I have from renting an

IYKYK But seriously, coffee is the best part of my morning (dare I say my whole day?) so I take it very seriously. I have a Keurig (drip coffee) , a Nespresso (espresso, latte, americano), and a Zwilling Drip Machine (for when I have people over, or just need a few extra cups 😴 myself). It makes

Because I work from home I use the second bedroom in my apartment as an office, but whenever I have friends or family come to stay with me I flip it into a bedroom! It does take some work to move around furniture but it's well worth it. My next furniture splurge will definitely be a Murphy bed

I loooove having lots of mirrors in any space because they really open up a room (and make it feel larger). I personally have my *mirror selfie* mirror next to my windows so there's great lighting for my photos, but if you need to focus on making your space feel larger, try placing your mirror

I've been in my apartment for 1.5 years now and it's really feeling quite complete! Some of my fav stores for furniture + decor: CB2 Ikea Wayfair EQ3 Structube H&M Home Zara Home If you're trying to decorate a space and not spend *a ton* of money, I can usually find gr

H&M Home is one of my FAV places for home decor and also for linens! My Linen Bedding is from there, and I've been eyeing a second set 👀 I've also had my eye on these vases, a linen bedspread, and the cutest little side table lamp!! I find that the H&M app often has discounts

A few years ago I made this piece of art and I've gotten compliments on it ever since! It was a super affordable way to elevate my space, and I really love how it turned out. The key to keeping this low budget is to purchase an already framed canvas, mine was actually a children's art p

For some reason when I was furnishing my first apartment the thing I was most stumped about were barstools. I found even cheaper furniture places like Ikea still had a very high price tag when it came to barstools! I realized fairly quickly that if I was going to spend $200 on a mediocre stool that

I feel like I've perfected my work from home setup and routine and here are my favs! I'm a huge coffee drinker so having a great at home setup was important for me. I also recently got an Ember mug (it's a heated mug that keeps your coffee warm) and it's been such a game changer, I

When I first started shopping for furniture and decor when I was moving out I was so overwhelmed by how much everything cost and I couldn't figure out what I should be spending money on. After living on my own for the last 4 years, I've realized that the most important things to 'splurg

When you live in a small apartment counter space is VERY important so getting a small coffee/espresso machine was high on my list. This Pixie Nespresso machine is the perfect size for a small space, and I love that it still has a decent size water tank. Some other smaller coffee/espresso machines d

When you first move into a new space it can be tough to make it feel cozy and feel like ‘home’. My biggest tip is to add artwork to your walls. Bare walls just scream ‘unfinished’ to me, it makes a HUGE difference in adding more personality to your space. I also think your furniture choices are a h

I looove hosting, whether it’s pre-drinks or a full on dinner party, count me in. This year I really want to host more dinner parties rather than always going out to restaurants, and to kick things off I invited a few friends over for dinner and wanted to share my little table setup! I prefer to

Simmer Pot Recipe 🍋❤️ I’ve mentioned this before but I am a HUGE scent girlie. I work from home and I always love to have some sort of scent going throughout the day and my newest obsession is a Simmer Pot! I love to add cinnamon sticks, cranberries, and some lemon slices to a pot, cover with wate
