READ THE INTERVIEW



What is your favourite room?

My living room!

Why is this your favourite room?

It’s the only room in my apartment with hardwood floors and it gets the best light so all of my plants live in there!

How have you decorated it? I.e what style?

I can never really nail down my decor style – I honestly just collect a bunch of things that make me happy and I try to make them work together. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much. Ha!

Is there anything in this room that you are particularly proud of?

I’m proud of a few really good deals that I picked up at estate sales that are in this room – like the little entryway rug and the rattan chairs. I’m also pretty proud that I’ve managed to keep plants alive at all in this space – even though it’s the brightest room in the apartment, they’re still north facing windows and I’ve lost a few good plants to the lack of light in here.

How have you used this room during the past few months?

I do all of my photo/video shoots for the blog in this room so lately this room has looked like a crafting explosion happened in it.

One word to describe how this room makes you feel today?

Calm (Mostly because it’s finally clean. 😂)
