Having to move from my dorm room into an apartment during the beginning of my third year in college, one thing that always filled me with excitement was picking furniture, decor and appliances that screamed effortlessly chic, cozy and aesthetic. I wanted my room to scream ‘me’ whenever I walked in after a tiring day of biochemistry whilst nurturing the feeling of a safe and comfy haven to rest my head. Thus, the rooms and decor corner of the internet became my best friend, and I found some really beautiful, aesthetic and yet functional items that I instantly fell in love with. My month spent searching through to find the best furniture, appliances and accessories inspired me to create this list where I share with you all some of the best things I found, some I purchased and some on my wish list. I hope you enjoy going through them as much as I loved making this list.
Things related to plants that I love and believe are essentials! I have my favorites for both indoor and outdoor plants and gardening in general. Follow me on Instagram/TikTok @thekathyly for more content!💟

Things get hectic when moving to a new area, theres new roads to learn and neighbor cats to meet. Everything that could go wrong usually goes wrong…locking yourself out, leaving the lights on in your car, loosing important things.
I love a white kitchen, actually I've only had an all white kitchen over the past 2 years, in the past our home had a soft green throughout. I was ready for a change and have always loved a neutral space. Decorating a white kitchen can be challenging depending on the size and layout to make it a warm and inviting space as white can lean to being over sterile. Adding textures like wood and metallics can transform an all-white space, bringing in depth, warmth and visual interest. This can be achieved through your choice of countertops, shelving, bar stools and all of the practical and decor pieces you add to your space. You have to make it comfortable for your family and suitable for your lifestyle.
