MAURA

the sun is setting earlier and the air is getting crisper- lighting season is upon us. my picks for making your home feel cozy and warm, especially during the fall and winter.

I've slowly but surely added personal touches to make decorate my apartment, with an emphasis on maximizing space & adding charm/personal touches. Here's the best things I've purchased so far!

simplicity, craftmanship, and utility define the modern folk aesthetic. I love this traditional style that's softened with a home-grown feel, natural materials, and kitsch elements- but also still upscale, intentional, and design-forward.

you're not a regular cat mom, you're a cool cat mom. cute, functional pet products that don't compromise your ~aesthetic~.

For those who love the airiness and simpleness of minimalism, but hate when it feels too stark or cold. These are my picks for warm minimalists- think natural woods, soft lighting, and all the textures to make your space feel inviting, bright, and homey.

gifts to help make their new home a home- without breaking the bank.

kid-friendly decor, toys, and more that blend seamlessly into adult spaces too.

presenting some things on my wishlist for this fall- including a more expensive and budget-friendly(er) option for each item. I won't be buying most of these, but I try to invest in 1-2 things per season- hence the more expensive picks. hope you enjoy :)

jewelry, bags, hair accessories, and more that are currently on my wishlist.

I love substack, the newsletter platform. Here's of my favorites accounts to read and follow.

NYC places to exercise your creativity- think art, pottery, sewing, and more.

As a person who frequents coffee shops in Brooklyn (particulary to WFH), I have strong preferences :) Here's a few of my favorites
