I have been promising some big news around here lately and I am thrilled to share it with you today... I have been Rued! Yes, my home is featured in Rue Magazine Issue 6. I am so excited to be part of the big international issue! None of the home tours are from the US. I feel very honored to be a part of so much beauty. Every page is jam packed with stunning and then amongst it all on page 124 is my tiny apartment.
Above are some of the picks from Rue and some that did not make the cut. Head over to Rue to see more from my home. I might put together some more photos in the future. If there is anything you like in my apartment and want to know where it is from just leave me a comment.
Thank you Rue for having me! I also want to thank Alexander Pihl for taking so many lovely photos of my home, Mackenzie Horan for writing the article and to Monika of Splendid Willow for suggesting me to Rue and putting us all in touch. Thank you all! It has been such a pleasure!

Splendid Willow, M, Chantal, Emily, Irene, Doyoufancythis, Piper, Ranu, Punctuation Mark, Jane, Leslie, Charlotta, Caitlin and Brandi...... Thank you so much for all the lovely feedback! It really, really warms my heart. Your comments are always loved.
As for some of the questions (some via email) such as on the elephant, wallpaper and on the photo above the couch... my plan is to put together a post answering all of the questions in the near future.
Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Your apartment is gorgeous and does not look tiny as you mentioned. It's absolutely adorable. It is very inspiring to know that the fellow BYW alumni is doing so well. I love the splash of colors you put in the clean white interior. I love the bookshelves you use in your bedroom. I love the modern clean look you employ in your home. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on being featured on Rue!!

Your home looks amazing, it looks so spacious and light!!
I really love that you have the barbapapa dolls, I watched that cartoon when I was little but you never see them around here anymore. :)

Gorgeous home!

That your apartment? Its gorgeous! I have never seen anything like it. It looks so clean because of the white paint and the minimalist style. You have officially inspired me to renovate my own crib, hehe.
