Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: I moved in to new space during the pandemic, and decorating the space has been my fun COVID project. It’s a tiny space, but I was so excited to make it my own and escape from the noise in the city.

I have different sides to me which I feel can be reflected in my decor. When I have friends over or am just hanging in the living area, it’s a color palette of gold, pinks, and light blues. And when I’m alone in my room, I prefer to be zen. To create that ambiance I used plants and more bohemian decor.

Proud of those mounted wall lamps!

What is your favorite room and why? Ha! There are only two rooms. Depends on my mood. Flirty host = living area. Cozy and relaxed = bedroom. Both are incredibly bright.

Any advice for creating a home you love? I got really enthusiastic about peel and stick wallpaper. Super easy and adds some flare.
