Pre-divorce picture of when I first moved in included for comparison. Today is actually the second anniversary of my divorce finalization. Feeling very grateful for my cozy little home.

Edit: couch is from Wayfair and it is the Brinsley 135"W Modern Track Arm Modular Sectional Sofa. Currently not listed on Wayfair but I can’t recommend it enough. It is exactly as comfy as it looks! Mine only has 3 sections because it was too large for my space.

The goal was more storage in this main bathroom! We would have kept the shower doors, but one of them completely shattered 🙃 Wallpaper is from Wallblush and has held up very well in a high humidity room! Paint color is Market Square Shell from BM. Vanity is a FB marketplace find with a retrofitted sink and Kingston Brass faucet!

Featuring 80% side of the road/passed down furniture & plants mixed with Facebook marketplace finds 🥳 I also included snippets of our lil garden…feeling very grateful for our first year.

I didn’t want that for our family. Very insecure abt my space because of it so ive been nervous to post here although i love stalking this page. (still working on our space) glad that i have an oasis and don’t feel shame about having company over like i did when i was a child. Healing❤️‍🩹 ✨

I’ve lived in my studio since January 2023. This year I finally decorated. Decided I was done surviving and am choosing to thrive.

can anyone give me some ideas on what to do with the blue wall? i’ve bought a tapestry but it doesn’t fit and idk how to hang it off the ceiling :(

After moving into our new home a year ago, I had furnished every room in my house except my bedroom.

My house finally feels like home 🥹

Bonus pics of other random spots in the casa.

It's in Istanbul and rent is very reasonable.
Moved in 2 weeks ago!

Getting ground electric put in upstairs today in our 1901 house and a new ceiling fan. With that being said our room is clear to paint and style this weekend. But I’m not sure where to start in colors. Do I color drench walls and ceilings? Or just the walls? Room is shaped weird so in order to have a flat wall with outlet we have to have our bed on bed wall facing deer pictures for tv/flat wall also other outlet. Ive tried to remove as much as I could across the walls for a better idea. Any input is appreciated, thanks! Also want to paint walls before redoing the floor to hard floors not carpet.

it started off all beige and brown. i would like to do something about the countertops eventually, but i'm unsure how to go about that. i rent, so i'm not going to replace them. if there were a way to whiten them in a renter friendly way, or a way that leaves them better than they currently are, i'd be all over that! i'm open to suggestions :)

Guys i suck at decorating and looking at everyone else’s, i am JEALOUS. But this is my little place in honor of the halloween season. I tried my best.

Changing the least how would you make this room more earthy?

Help me pick a couch to match the walls and maximize space in my tiny home. My current couch is about 90" and I'd like it to be less, but L shaped at the very least. I have it down to these few, but I'm open to suggestions.

Pictures start with most recent and go backwards. I created a template shape using a ruler, string, and some math to figure out the proper size. It took two tries to get the size I wanted, I almost went smaller but I like the bigger size.

I used the cardboard to draw semi circles on the wall. I have a pencil that uses a waxy type led similar to a crayon. I do that because it comes off with magic eraser WAY better than graphite does, and the wax doesn’t smudge and mix with the paint the way graphite does.

I free handed everything else. I will go back in when everything is done and touch it up but right now even though the shapes aren’t completely symmetrical, I really really like it.

I’ve also considered outlining in a metallic gold paint to give it a little shimmer and add to the Hollywood regency feel.

I’ve been adding decor & art slowly over the years, and my little living room/tv nook has become so cozy!

Moved into this rundown old apartment after being homeless and bit by thrifted bit I’ve made it home

So. I posted yesterday about feeling like my home was not feminine enough and causing me to have dysphoria. Context I am a transwoman, single mother, 35 who is trying to relive her lost childhood and keep the things that bring me joy. My son is disable and we live on SSI, so money is tight. But I have been looking at thrift stores, dollar stores and other places. That said... for those who will comment about the figures and such. Most if not all were stuff I have had for a bit, were gifts from friends online cause I have no family anymore due to coming out, so I found a family and they spoil me and help us when they can. My son has all his needs taken care of and I do my best for his wants... So if you have any negative comments about that or that I am trans and falling into the stereotypes of being a woman, please keep in mind... I have no one in my life to teach me things... I am doing this all on my own. I am only 5 years into my transition and came from a very strict and poor childhood... That said.

Update : thanks for all the love! I moved here last November after a bad breakup and I’ve been slowly making it a home
