Like making the large living room function as her living room, bedroom, and workspace. A smart desk and vanity area is her home office, which she separates visually from the rest of the space with pretty floral wallpaper. The look of the entire living area was improved by the addition of peel-and-stick wall molding that she got off of Amazon. She says it was pricey, but well worth it.

The apartment’s single bedroom is dedicated to the kids (although right now, youngest son Kason is still co-sleeping until he moves into a toddler bed). The purchase of a bunk bed maximized the room so much that Alexa was able to create individual desk areas for the two oldest kids — each side personalized to the individual.

Alexa has hidden storage everywhere in the space, even starting right at the front door, where two baskets in the entryway hold kids’ shoes. A cabinet from Wayfair under the TV holds all of her youngest son’s hearing aid equipment, diapers, wipes, and other daily needs. The Dalton storage bed from Castlery that she sleeps in offers four big drawers that hold everything from linens, sheets, and keepsakes.

The storage continues in the kids’ bedroom, where a super-tall storage dresser from IKEA holds clothes for Grace and for Kason, as well as provides some visual separation between the two older kids’ desks. All the stuffed animals are in a container hidden behind the bunk beds. Thankfully, the apartment came with a few closets. One has another dresser for the eldest son’s clothes and baskets full of toys that Alexa can take down as needed. And a large walk-in closet in the bedroom holds Alexa’s clothes, shoes, as well as all kinds of items — even the stroller. “The walk-in closet is where I hide the clutter,” she admits.

“Every nook and cranny in this house has stuff stuffed in it, okay?” she said in a voiceover on one of her TikTok tours of her home. While that may be true, she’s done a great job of finding a place for everything, and the home doesn’t feel cluttered at all.
