    I like her bedroom because the focus of the room is to sleep. So the plants around the room is uniquely beautiful. I’m learning to let go items in my bedroom and her room inspired me to continued to be less hoarder in my bedroom because it’s less noisy when there is less items.

    We used to make shelves, bookcases and places for our stereos back in the 60's with planks and cinder blocks. When I saw hers, I had to laugh because when we were in our late teens and early 20's, this is all we could afford. So now, it's a stylish "thing." 😆

      These basic and mediocre furnishings and decor that are presented (owned) by a cool and fashionable woman get so much love because of the owner herself. If they were owned by a woman or man that didn’t seem cool then they would be largely ignored if not criticized for their decor style..

      Maybe it is how she presented it? Art is about know the meaning what you want to convey, and that is also the same with decor I guess. If you know how to explain why you design something, it will appear ´stylishˋ.
      Although budget also can be a reason when design things, but if you have/put meaning to your design it will elevate how people see your concept 😊

The shelving, the tables made with pipe kits and using chairs and stools from public high schools. Also, it looks like you can find a lot of that stuff at thrift stores (which Ashley did) and all combined give your loft space a really industrial vibe which is so appropriate for her pad. The total functionality of every section of this loft is great and well thought out. Needless to say I'm very envious of the two women & their cool home.
