House: “Romanticizing” my studio apartment

February 5, 2013 by findingpaola

I’m known for having trinkets. I go out, and I buy something that makes me smile (if I can afford it) whether I will be able to use it or not. Most of my trinkets are for decorative value, but sometimes, I store them in a box too. I have a treasure box full of letters, drawings given to me by kids, rocks, and different things that bring back memories from a certain period of my time. My trinkets and […]

January 7, 2012 by findingpaola

Everyone knows that space is expensive in New York City. I had my choice between a one bedroom and a studio while selecting my apartment and chose the studio.
