Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: I live with my 9-month-old puppy, Tate. I bought my house in 2020 and have had THE MOST FUN making it my own. Each room has gotten a makeover — some just paint, others light fixtures, and some major overhauls. I love being in my home and LOVE sharing it with my family and friends.
The best compliment I get from those that know me well is “your home is exactly you.” Everything that finds its way onto my walls, floors, drawers, shelves is something I love and speaks to who I am.
Describe your home’s style in 5 words or less: Cozy, eclectic, happy, warm, elevated
What is your favorite room and why? My favorite room(s) is my family room that is connected to my dining room. My dining room is cozy and inviting — dark walls, drip candles, and dried florals. My family room is equally cozy, but bright — white walls, floor-to-ceiling gallery wall (my pride and joy), thriving fiddle leaf fig, and unique wine cabinet.
What’s the last thing you bought (or found!) for your home? The coolest print! An overview of NYC from the early 1800s. I found it at a print store in Maui and it will be added to a gallery wall in my newly finished basement.
Any advice for creating a home you love? Listen to your gut. Everyone has their own style and own opinions — but that style and those opinions don’t have to be yours! If you want to paint your basement walls and ceiling black, DO IT (I did and I promise it’s worth it).
