A Multi Room Oasis
I’ve been saying to no one in particular that this room should feel like a lush enchanted oasis. (Arwa gave me those vibes a little bit. ) During the day it should feel relaxing and like a day spent by the side of a lagoon. And at night it should feel like a quiet breeze carrying you under the Milky Way.
Cozy Bedroom Updates
I’ve been steadily making my bedroom my place of solitude. Last year I bought the half globe cantilever lamps by Ting Shen off eBay and the mirrors and side dressers from IKEA. In the summer I bought the headboard off Craigslist (brand unknown) added two duvets (used as one) and a new duvet cover with matching pillows.

I Wanted Black Walls and Now I Have Them
Using a starch medium, fabric is adhered to the walls and can be removed by saturating the fabric with water and peeling the fabric off. The fabric can then be laundered and reused. Typically, people use this technique to take advantage of the wide variety of prints available in fabrics, its relatively low cost as compared to using wallpaper, and its damage free removable aspect.
Interior Design As Therapy
Let me take you back to the Winter of 2017. I was entering, what I wasn’t aware of at the time, a depressive episode. Nothing I did was getting me out of what I realized wasn’t just a momentary funk. After some conversation with my doctor, she said that I was showing signs of depression. She commended my efforts to stave off the effects but that maybe I needed to try something else.
When I sent her photos of my most recent on a whim acquisition, my mother asked, “Are you a collector?” Yes? At this point, yes. Introducing my new to me 1921 Singer Model 66. Stunning, I know. Sporting the classic red scroll or red eye decals and equipped with a motor, foot pedal, and work light; replete with the original oak carrying case that admittedly has seen better days.
