“I really want warmth and coziness in my apartment. The first piece of furniture I acquired was the green couch, and I based the rest of the apartment around it,” Griffin explains. “I have always loved mid-century furniture and the vanity dresser in my bedroom is my mom‘s childhood dresser. A lot of the wall art is acquired from different work trips I have been on, my hometown, as well as some made by friends and family.”

Griffin describes his apartment’s style as “mid-century modern eclectic grandma,” and his favorite room is the kitchen. “I put up the backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and kitchen faucet, and I installed a dimmer switch; it’s perfect for entertaining and I love how moody and homey it feels.”

When it comes to giving decorating advice, Griffin says to choose what you love. “Don’t go for trends — go for things that speak to you and hold sentimental value.”
