Though Sarah has lived in her south Minneapolis rental for two years, she’s taken her time to fill the space. Just the perfect size for her and her cat — and filled with lots of natural light — it has plenty of whimsical vintage features to keep you peering around the corners the entire time you’re there.
Sarah’s space is filled only with items that bring her joy or have a family connection, regardless of if these items typically go together or not. She encourages others to incorporate a variety of pieces into their decor. And if you love where you live don’t be shy about it — Sarah’s love of Minnesota can be found in almost every direction you look.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Classic, always with a pop of turquoise.
Inspiration: Apartment Therapy!
Favorite Element: Plants! I especially love the hanging orchid in my bathroom.
Biggest Challenge: I live in an old building, so keeping my apartment clean. But the charm is worth it!
What Friends Say: You have such a knack for creating cute spaces.
Biggest Embarrassment: Probably the litter box in the broom closet in my kitchen, but we make it work with a cute curtain!
Proudest DIY: My turquoise trunk/coffee table.
Biggest Indulgence: Beeswax candles.
Best Advice: Incorporate a variety of pieces, from the antique dresser your mom got at a garage sale to the piece of artwork you splurged on. Don’t be afraid to be creative! Re-purposing is one of the best ways to change up your space.
