I live in a small one-bedroom apartment in Soho. When I moved in, I was going through some tough stuff, starting from scratch, and totally overwhelmed. Decorating is not my thing but, needing a fresh start, I enlisted a friend, interior designer Jenn Kelly (Owner, spacebyJK.com), who gets a real high out of this stuff, handed her my credit card, and asked her to make it look like a grown up lives here (something I can’t say about my previous apartments). I love the result, and have a new appreciation for how beautiful spaces. and great organization can make a real difference in life. I am a young professional (I work at Google) and live with my 10-year-old cockapoo Sunny, who goes everywhere with me.
My identity is definitely reflected in my home. I am an avid Democrat (I have made numerous appearances on TV news as a political commentator) and feminist and you’ll see nods to those values in the art featured throughout the apartment (RBG is represented at least three times). My personality is easygoing and sometimes that translates into messy, so one of my favorite things about the apartment is that we created a space for everything, which makes it easy to stay organized. It’s not just a reflection of who I am but who I aspire to be. I have a tea organizer that I am in love with and when I need a little motivation, my boyfriend says, “Be the person who has the tea organizer.” Works every time.
