      Sandy P it May be 400 sq feet , but it’s her first place and level of independence, without relying on a roommate! It’s the best feeling to live on your own when you are young, it probably feels like 800 sq feet to her, because it’s her private “palace “! Proud of her, it’s tough for young people to find affordable, live able space in the city.

    I love how you call your home the "home gallery". I think the higher rent is so worth it to live alone and also be able to have a proper bedroom. Wayfair is such a great site to buy furniture. I've bought a few pieces that way myself. Totally worth losing floor space in your bedroom to have a queen bed. Great choice. Your home is so calm and lovely. Thank you for sharing it with us. ps I love how you did your eyeliner. :)

    Wow that Murakami piece on her bedroom walls brings back memories. It's been a long time since I heard anything about it, but I still remember how blown away I was by his amazing (and expensive) his designs are. That shows how well together her life is that she can afford that kind of piece on such little money. Those are the values of minimalism as well, only keeping the highest quality of things around you leaving being whatever just accumulates as clutter.

    Her voice is AMAZING. She could do one hell of an ASMR video.
