Have any design professionals worked on this space? No

Why is your home the smallest, coolest space?

I love figuring out a new space. My husband and I recently moved here in December 2022. I like finding pieces that incorporate my new favorite style — modern — with pieces of our personalities mixed in with music and artwork. My husband was born in Sweden, surfs, and skates. If you look around, you’ll find elements of him, from Scandinavian pieces to boards around the space — can’t miss them.

How does your home reflect you?

My home embodies the fusion of two distinct personalities, showcasing a contemporary design with a keen eye for subtle details. The minimalist approach encapsulates my current preferences, while the boards and Scandinavian elements pay homage to my husband's interests. Our record collection from my parents gives the space a sentimental touch, crafting a living space that's authentically me.
