I love bringing Halloween to life in a way that feels elevated and understated. Think black, white, and natural textures over the traditional neon orange— moody candlelight, and simple silhouettes that whisper spooky instead of scream it.

These are some things that would be good gifts for people who have everything or who don't seem to need anything. I'm hard to buy for, I admit, and I like "gifts that go away" which means that they get used up and you don't have to store them long-term!

this is our first real adult apartment — no roommates, no dorm rooms — and we wanted to fully invest in pieces that felt intentional, elevated, and cozy. while keeping everything minimalist and aesthetic, of course. despite the hate it’s gotten lately, i’m unapologetically a fan of the millennial beige aesthetic. growing up in a house full of character, color, and knick knacks, i realized i personally thrive in simple, calming environments — spaces that are visually clean, understimulating, and easy to care for. this list is my curated collection of furniture, storage, and cozy essentials that are minimal in color but still maximum in character. 🤍 if you’re like me — someone who craves soft, grounding spaces but struggles to find pieces that actually fit that vibe — i’ve got you. these are the essentials that helped us furnish and organize our 499 sq ft studio, maximize storage, minimize distractions, and fully enjoy the (very expensive lol) rent we’re paying.
