Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Classic with modern touches style!
Inspiration: Pinterest
Favorite Element: I don’t have a favorite element. I’m changing my mind all the time, so one day I like something and another day I like something else!

What Friends Say: That it is very cozy and they admire the tidiness. They say there is a good vibe.

Biggest Indulgence: The living room shades.
Best Advice: Hire my husband for a renovation! Also having an interior designer was very helpful.
