Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there:My studio apartment is bite-sized just like me, but also big on function and style… just like me. Situated in the middle of Brooklyn, it has become my window to swag and culture—there’s no place like Brooklyn!—but also my escape from the often crazy world.

Describe your home’s style in 5 words or less:Chic and cozy sophistication.

你最喜欢的房间是什么,为什么?我们ll, I don’t have “rooms” but after having it redone, I love that I now have a corner “office” where I can sit down and work, pay bills, or just journal. I love that even though it’s a studio apartment, I can still have a dedicated workspace.

What’s the last thing you bought (or found!) for your home?Truthfully, more storage for my shoes! I picked up some shoe boxes from The Container Store.

Any advice for creating a home you love?Get help! I honestly only got to this place of feeling like I have an “adult apartment” because I was able to step away and admit I needed help.
