My name is Berna. So glad you’re here!

I’m a coffee and tea lover, I eat almost everything with chili, I’m a design enthusiast, and a daydreamer of beautiful rooms and houses. To be honest, I think I spend way more time reading and pinning beautiful photos of rooms and homes in Pinterest than I do posting on other social media platforms! (Let me know if it’s the same with you.)

During the pandemic, aside from praying and connecting with friends, looking at beautiful rooms on the Internet, decluttering, and decorating my home have been the ways I’ve been dealing with anxiety. There’s something about re-arranging the furniture, painting a table, or cleaning the closet that makes me think less about the burdens of the present and the uncertainty of the future. I think I rearranged our living room and dining room 4x over the last year haha!

I actually started being a decorating freak when I was in high school. I collected lots of magazines about home décor and I constantly begged my mom if I could change our curtains and throw pillows, paint the cabinets, or buy home décor stuff. When I first moved to another country for work, I lived in an apartment by myself, so I learned how to maximize space and make it my own. I remember that my first attempt in doing a bedroom makeover was to paint my room dark gray haha ~ I was totally obsessed with Lauren Conrad’s apartment in The Hills back then! (Unfortunately, my landlady wasn’t too happy about this… oops!). Well, I’m not a professional interior designer, but I know what works for me… and this is what I’m hoping to share in this blog… coz the designs that work for me, might work for you too… plus more apartment living tips and inspo from designers and other decorating geniuses out there! We’re all different, and for me, decorating a room or a house depends on your personality, lifestyle, and creativity… there are no concrete rules! As long as you’re happy with your space, then your decorating mission is a success! And also, by dropping by here, I hope it will somehow help you to get away from all the things that are bothering you… even for a short while.

See you again, my friend.

Cheers,♥

Berna
