Have any design professionals worked on this space? No

Why is your home the smallest, coolest space?

I love that I found and created solutions that fit this space perfectly — the IKEA closet system in the living room looks custom to the space; the console table behind the couch actually is custom-made; and more. I love hosting friends and family, so I designed this space to be functional, beautiful, and inviting by marrying function and design.

How does your home reflect you?

I think my homes have always reflected my interests: Right now, I love bright colors, I’ve grown passionate about plants, and I’m writing a cookbook with my friend, so our most-reached-for resources are on display. My creative side sometimes feels like it’s bursting with color and shapes, and it’s been really fun experimenting with bringing those imaginations to life in my home.
