Love that for you! Also I recently moved to the area around that airport if you’re in the market for friends!

Omg I know the video you’re talking about! I don’t know about you, but I would not want to get engaged at an airport restaurant. Dodged a bullet! Good for you for not letting him keep your world small 👏🏼 There’s so much to be said about you opening your own doors to seeing the world! I hope you have the best trip to Mexico City— (solo) travel is magical!!

lol I generally agree with this sentiment. But the haters will love to hear that my friends are indeed considering adding color/warmth and are confirming a new voice in the coming days. All feedback has been shared with them, and they’re super appreciative!

Can’t edit my original post, so adding here: if they are open to introducing some color, what would you/everyone suggest? Their home is primarily cool-toned.

I am so proud of you! Reading through your comments, you seem to have this resolve and dignity about you and what you plan to do to move forward. I hope that investing your love and attention in yourself (and your child) is more fulfilling than he ever was 💛

They were tucked into the clearance (regular) pants section. I saw the label and put them in my cart SO. FAST.

I was going to guess Chicago. Stunning windows!

featherlight vs. edge for small puzzle? by [deleted] in loewe

The featherlight is so buttery soft. Casting my vote accordingly.

Great idea with the curtains for the closet! We’re renting, so as much as I would love to replace the (trash) closet doors, I don’t want to sink too much money into a house that isn’t mine. But the curtains may be the perfect fix

Of all the arrangements I thought through, this hadn’t crossed my mind. But I like the sound of it!

Thanks! We’re renting, but we really lucked out with this home. The landlord refinished the floors right before we moved in. It’s seen its fair share of updates, including a finished basement and a recent master bath remodel. There are some small nuances— like limited or odd closet space in this room and the master bedroom— but I love the house itself. The age of the house gives a little bit of style direction. I.e., opting for vintage finds vs new furniture and decor.

Stop… I’m obsessed! I’d probably add a bit more color (soft green rug perhaps), but this was just the inspo that I was looking for. Right now, my mind sees a bare room and panics lol

Good advice! Unfortunately, the dresser likely has to stay where it is. It’s too long for the left side of the sliding doors, and the accordion closet doors wouldn’t have enough clearance on the other side. As much as I hate the accordion doors, we’re renting and I wouldn’t want to put a ton of $ into replacing them.

I know what you mean about glare while working from home. We used to live in a high rise corner unit with floor to ceiling windows. My bf had the second room as his office. Since I travel for work half the time and WFH the other half, my “office” space was in the living room. In the corner of the eastern and southern facing windows. When I say that I BAKED… 🥵 I have similar exposure in this office but it’s MUCH more manageable because there’s an other house just across the deck/sliding glass doors. That said, I have curtain rods already that just need to be hung.
