A few weeks ago I talked about wanting to make a change with my apartment. My first victim was getting a floor length mirror. Although I haven’t found a new one just yet, I am moving onto another decorative aspect of my studio; a new interior item to change. I want to update the print above my makeshift office. I do love the floral print I currently have that I got from Minted years ago, but feel that side of my studio looks bare. I am loving the trend of having a set of botanical prints as a wall gallery. I would probably stick to 3 or 4. Having more than 4 seems a little overwhelming for that section. Here are a few botanical print sets I have in mind. (more…)

Now that we are in a new year, I am all about out with the old and in with the new. Getting rid of the things that no longer spark joy. The best way to feel new is to refresh my surroundings.

The Home Edit is a company founded by OCD enthusiast and organizational guru’s Joanna and Cleo.

Their clients range from everyday people like us to celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon and Khloe Kardashian. The Home Edit is a little like Marie Kondo but instead of focusing on getting rid of things, it’s how you can optimize the space you already have. As someone who has a lot of stuff and lives in a small studio apartment, this show is a Godsend.

Some of which I have had since college and some I have accumulated through old roommates. It feels as if it is way past time for me to upgrade my dinnerware. I am not looking to go over the top with a fancy china set, just something affordable that doesn’t make me grumble upon the sight of it. While I am replacing my plates and bowls, I figured I could also use a few new linen napkins, tea towels, tumblers, and placemats. My main focus of course is getting new dinnerware before I completely change my place settings. Once that is taken care of I can venture on to creating a whole aesthetics with my kitchenware.
