Back in college, I quickly learned that dorm bathrooms aren’t exactly known for their charm. Everything felt cold, plain, and purely functional. No color, no personality—just tile and overhead lights. But I didn’t want to settle. I wanted something that felt like me, even if I couldn’t change the floors or drill into the walls….
I still remember my first dorm bathroom experience like it was yesterday. It wasn’t anything like home. Sharing with strangers, remembering to carry everything back and forth, and trying not to forget your towel—yeah, it was a learning curve. My first week, I brought stuff I thought I’d need, but half of it never got…
A few summers back, I stayed in a small villa in the Greek islands. The view was beautiful, of course, but what really stuck with me was how effortless the outdoor space felt. Linen curtains fluttering in the breeze, worn wooden furniture under soft lights, and that quiet hum of summer all around. It didn’t…
A few years ago, I moved into a place with a tiny patio and zero charm. It wasn’t much—just a few feet of cracked concrete—but I was determined to make it feel like mine. I started small: a couple of chairs, some string lights, and a plant that somehow survived. That little setup became my…
I remember one Fourth of July where I couldn’t make it out to a big event, so I stayed home and decided to decorate the place just for fun. What started as a few red, white, and blue paper stars turned into a full afternoon of crafting, music, and good food. By the time the…
When I walked into my dorm for the first time, I instantly knew I had to make it feel more me. Dorm rooms are basically blank slates—those cinder block walls, basic furniture, and bright overhead lights don’t exactly scream cozy or stylish. But with the right touches, I turned mine into a warm, chic space…
When I first stepped into my college dorm, it felt more like a plain box than a living space. The walls were white, the lighting was harsh, and the furniture was anything but stylish. But over time, I figured out how to turn that small, shared room into a space that actually felt like me….
If your backyard fence is looking a little… plain, you’re not alone. I used to think of mine as just a privacy barrier, but now? It’s a full-on canvas. One of the easiest ways to elevate an outdoor space is to treat that big blank wall like it deserves some personality. Fence art is where…
If there’s one place where small design choices make a huge difference, it’s the bathroom. And when I say “tile is everything,” I mean it. Every year, I find myself bookmarking tile trends like it’s a hobby—and 2025 has already brought some seriously gorgeous updates. I’ve been watching the shift toward bolder, more personal choices,…
I’ve always loved how a good tile design can totally change the energy of a bathroom. I remember staying in this little boutique hotel in Lisbon where the bathroom had these beautiful patterned tiles—nothing flashy, just bold enough to feel like art. I must’ve taken ten pictures of that space alone. That trip inspired me…
