Why is your home the smallest, coolest space?

My home is a 100-year-old triplex, who kept its charm (and crooked everything) even after major renovations. Even though it is an open-floor concept, its long and narrow shape kept it cozy. I filled it with mid-century-and-this-century modern furniture and bright and colorful decor. My house is not a Pinterest board nor an Instagram account, it’s where I feel comfortable going home to every night.

How does your home reflect you?

Despite my Pinterest board being full of beautifully minimalist cream spaces, I soon realized after moving in that I did not have it in me to live a beige life. A year later, every wall has been decorated. I try to create moments and vignettes with pops of color and vintage accents, while still maintaining an overall balance. Like me, my home is quirky, simple and just a bit unstable.
