decor — home — Homebody DIY

This is our first apartment with a dining room, or as some call it a “bonus room.” This room flows perfectly off the living room and is big enough to fit a table as well as some other fun things. I knew moving in here that the space was going to have to be multi- functional and serve more than just the purpose of dining. Not only did I want each of us to have a space for our activities, but also I needed a home work space. Our dining room quickly turned into the place we eat, play and work!

A Living Room Worth Living In

n this apartment, this is the first time that we have a separate living space and bedroom space, which has been something new and fun to navigate for us, especially because now there is no bed in our living room and vice versa. The fact that we also moved during a pandemic and quarantine, meant that we were going to be spending A LOT of time at home and we wanted to make this living room space the most comfortable and inviting.

DIY MINI RAINBOW PIÑATA

I love piñata’s a lot. I have wanted to make one for quite some time. Every year for my birthday I always try to get one just because they look so fun! A few years back I remember I was in Michael’s and in the seasonal section there was a kit to make your own piñata. I loved this idea but for some reason, I did not buy it and when I went back to get it it was gone! I have been thinking about it since that day, which was like 2 years ago so I finally decided to make it and I am so glad I did!
