Why is your home the smallest, coolest space?

This place is a living memory of the time that I have spent in San Francisco. As I grow into a real adult, this space grows with me, and I try to be intentional about the environment that I wake up and live in every day. I feel that most strongly when I can welcome someone in for a few hours, or a few days, and reflect that passion through a home-cooked meal, a drink, or just quality time together!

How does your home reflect you?

Every corner of this space is stuffed with a memory: an orange lampshade from my childhood home, the secondhand armchair that almost made me cry carrying up the stairs, the matching handmade mugs that sit in here and in one of my closest friend's home. There's not a single square inch that doesn't reflect the creativity that I try to approach life with.
