Decor: Small Spaces Can Be Enough If Done Right

Published by

I live in a studio apartment in San Francisco. I wouldn’t trade it for the world because I have a wonderful view. Surely a while back I owned a massive 3300 sq. foot 2 story home just outside the city. But I realized that the place, although a house, was not a home. I’m more of a small space kind of gal.

Until in July 2016, I rolled up my sleeves and just went for the remodel, revamp, and everything that would I felt would add to my ocean view with the idea I wanted the place to feel light and airy. Although I am shy about sharing my personal space with anyone, I have offered up  a wonderful article:

What Is Going Through My Mind Today

I can’t recall a time where I’ve had a peaceful night’s sleep. Meaning to say that I stay up most nights pondering about everything most definitely out of my control, and then I talk myself into  just letting go. I think it’s a survival mechanism.

Religion was more important than anything else to live a more positive life? What if compassion replaced greed? History and current event teachings in schools were not based on one-sided opinions?

Some articles I find myself questioning, others I feel the need to share: So for this day, where some of you may be off work, here’s a list of articles that may be worth a click or two:

Decor: Less Clutter, More Breathing Room

I added a fresh update to my studio apartment a few months ago, and just last night, while I sat on the sofa to read an assignment for a course I’m taking, I smiled at how simply peaceful and clutter free my decor choice is. Recently, I’ve been working with a friend to help streamline her beautiful San Francisco home, and although at times she has trouble  letting go of things she’s had for decades, I’m hopeful we can make it happen. It’s a struggle for sure trying to convince her less clutter, more breathing room is what it is all about. Here’s what I’m thinking:   {Source}

I say this time and time again. I wish I could dress like this everyday at my job. But it isn’t a thing when you work for a software developing company in San Francisco. Jeans and a T-Shirt will suffice in all cases. But once in while, I opt to step out of the mold and into the limelight 🙂 if you will and these beauties are the perfect look:
