Growing up on the Upper West Side, I have always been mesmerized by the beauty and allure of New York City. I distinctly remember walking around my neighborhood one day, looking up & realizing for the first time how beautiful the buildings were, and just how lucky I was to live there. My parents retired and left the city in 2018, leaving me living alone in our family apartment. As I slowly began making it my own, I fell in love with the process. I started sharing my home projects on Instagram, and through that was connected with so many people in the home decor loving community. I found my niche in preserving & restoring the beautiful original details of my apartment, and realized historical architecture is what spoke to me the most. I After 2.5 years of posting consistently on social media, I was making enough money where I felt confident in leaving my teaching job and became a full time content creator. A year after that, I met my boyfriend Sebastian when a cute guy showed up at my door to install crown molding, and a year and a half after that I closed on a historic country home in Vermont. It had always been my dream to buy a fixer upper property outside the city, a dream that for a long time felt very far off. I really owe it all to my online community for supporting me over the past few years, my parents for landing & keeping such a great NYC apartment and Sebastian now, too, for having the skills to make my visions a reality. If you landed here today, thank you for being here! Follow along as we restore this 1831 country home, and still catch glimpses of my life in the city as well.
