Hygge Inspired Wish List

January 17, 2018


As a natural introvert, I become a bit of a hermit in the Wintertime. It’s just so darn cold outside these days! This must be why the Danish concept Hygge (pronounced Hoo-gah) which loosely translated means…coziness and comfortable feeling of contentment and or well-being. Here are some products to help you on practice Hygge in your home. But first, although I love each and every one of these products, if I had to pick a favorite it would probably have to be the salt lamp. I have always wanted a salt lamp and one of my friends recently got one that was shaped like a moon. Salt lamps really are the perfect lights for creating a soft diffused glow. Plus, there are so many cool designs these days you can easily find one to suit your style. Let me know which products you like best!

Spring is in the air here in DC at least for the day it’s quite possible it could snow again in a couple days…  But anyway, this time of year always makes me think about the fact that spring is around the corner and for me spring=plants!  I’ve been wanting some hanging planters for ages.  Maybe this spring I’ll finally get/make one (or a few!).  Here is some hanging planter inspiration.

Home Inspiration: Black Bedrooms

January 31, 2016

AphroChic Home Tour

I tend to get focused on a trend I love when it comes to home decor and become a bit obsessed with it. I’ve finally narrowed down the headboard I want, so I’ve moved on to my current obsession: a black bedroom. This is definitely not a new trend, but I’m still loving it. Maybe because it’s wintertime, but I just love a cosy bedroom this time of year. When I walk into my bedroom, I immediately feel relaxed and calm and that’s thanks to my interior decor. It’s also thanks to the new mattress I got when decorating my bedroom. Now, not only is the room inviting, I’m sleeping on a new mattress and getting a great night’s sleep. I can wholeheartedly say that my bedroom is now my favourite room inside my whole home!

I also love having a clean bedroom too! This is why I cherish my vacuum from Bissell. I just signed my lease for another year in my current apartment and am wondering if a cozy black bedroom outweighs the headache of repainting my room white again when I’m ready to move again…It was nice to search for furniture – from somewhere like antiquesworld.co.uk – to fill my bedroom.

June 4, 2014

It’s really possible: You can have big style in a small space on a small budget! I currently live in a rather small studio apartment and thought I’d share a few methods I’ve used to make my own space functional, true to my personal style, and affordable for my small budget. If you don’t have it already, seriously consider getting home insurance. It can save you a ton of money on these stylish upgrades you’ve made to your home if you’re unfortunately robbed or natural disaster strikes. I’ve heard websites like Simply Insurance (this page) can provide some great home and contents insurance that will give you peace of mind. Maybe one of these days, I’ll photograph my space for the blog, but that’s fodder for a separate post….Now on to the tips.
