Have any design professionals worked on this space? No

Why is your home the smallest, coolest space?

The vision was to merge eclectic, rainbow-hued shapes with classic and country style pieces. I've carved out an area in my living room to host dinner parties, and I purposefully made sure to buy functional, multi-use (ottomans, stools) to have ample seating! I use my home as an escape from the busy city and as a way to welcome and host new people. Everyone comments on how joyful it is!

How does your home reflect you?

My home is an extension of my personal style — colorful, unexpected, and pushing the buttons in mixing prints, colors, and a lot of texture. I revamped the space fully on my own using a lot of secondhand and HomeGoods finds. I painted every crevice and ceiling a different color and added wall paneling. My prized possessions in my home are various oil paintings from my sister that light each room.
