I’m really excited to share this post today! As you’ve seen, we recently moved and I have been working on some DIY projects around our apartment to really make it feel like “us”… and by us, I mean, Jeremy, myself, and Nick haha. But we all have fairly similar taste so I just assume that whatever I do they will like. And if they don’t well TOO BAD. Kidding. Kind of.
The first couple of installments of DIY projects were focused around the living room, so today I’m showing off our Living Room and Kitchen! I absolutely love the way our apartment is laid out, and after having it all together, I think I am actually going to start having client meetings in my apartment! Let me know what you think! – A
