  • 🌱 After 3 months I finally have my Tokyo Apartment Makeover!🌱 This is an older Japanese apartment building but I think it adds to the charm. In this makeover I swap out and build furniture, use contact paper on my kitchen cabinet, make organizers from Daiso, hang curtains, add my plant friends and more.
