I’m super excited to finally be sharing my kitchen + dining area! I had a few details I wanted to “perfect” and it took me a minute before the space felt “right”. If you guys are new here, my fiance Schyler and I moved across the country from Portland to Nashville with a few boxes. I had to start over from scratch in our Nashville apartment but it was much smaller with more designated areas so it was simple to decorate. Our Pittsburgh apartment is an old loft with so many funny corners and pitched ceilings! It was a little tricky to decorate and I took my time thrifting pieces carefully. I wanted to make sure every item was something I loved!

I am a huge fan of rugs and had been wanting to find the right ones for our Pittsburgh apartment for awhile! I had some rugs that my parents gave me from Colombia but they weren’t the right size for the spaces I had in mind so it was time for a makeover! I had seen some amazing looking rugs from Ruggable and what really drew me to them was the fact that their rugs are machine washable. My apartment sees a lot of life between the three of us so long term, a machine washable rug seemed like the perfect choice!
I can’t believe it’s been over a year that we picked up and moved across the country in my Jeep to Nashville then Pittsburgh! We have been living in Pittsburgh now for a little over 6 months and I am happy to say that we are almost 80% done decorating our new apartment. It was challenging to decorate after starting over from scratch in a much bigger space but it’s going to be amazing when everything is “finished”. I had been searching + envisioning the perfect armchairs for the reading/coffee nook in our living room for so many ones and then finally found the perfect ones on Burrow.
Our Bedroom Update – New Bedding from Parachute Home
By Esperanza on February 9, 2021I have had a white comforter and sheets for years and I’ve always loved the bright, clean look of it, but recently I’ve been thinking about changing it up! We brought Indio home a year and a half ago and shortly after he was potty trained, we started letting him up on the bed with us so naturally our white comforter always looks a bit dingy. We love having him on the bed with us though so I figured a comforter and sheets with color would help prevent this!
10 Amazon Furniture + Decor Finds for the Home
By Esperanza on January 3, 2021I am in the process of decorating our Pittsburgh loft apartment that we have been living in for about 3 months now. I’ve thrifted a ton of our decor and furniture from thrift stores but some stuff you just can’t find while thrifting (unless you’re really lucky) and those kinds of pieces I’ve ordered from Amazon! It’s amazing how much you can find on there, especially for mid-century style pieces (my favorite). In this blog post I’m sharing 10 home decor + furniture pieces I’ve found from Amazon.
I am still in the process of decorating my Pittsburgh loft apartment! There is a wall in my living room that I have been going back and forth on for a while now. I wasn’t sure what to do with it because there is such a long wall and due to space planning there isn’t really enough room for furniture. So I decided to make a gallery wall!
I’m so glad to finally be sharing our Nashville apartment tour! For those of you guys that are new here, I moved across the country (a 46 hour drive!) from Portland, OR, to Nashville, TN with my boyfriend and labradoodle puppy Indio. We could only bring whatever fit in the back of my jeep! So it took me quite a while to collect enough decor and furniture to fill this apartment, especially on a small budget, but I did it lol. The complex we live in, The Anson, is a brand new apartment complex so the interiors are all updated and very modern which I love, but I really wanted my apartment to have a bohemian feel to it. So I hit up a ton of thrift stores and found super cute bohemian home decor + furniture pieces (which inspired me to start Urban Darling Shop!) and I love the result of my modern, bohemian apartment.
Slowly but surely my Nashville apartment is coming together! The process is going a little bit slower then expected due to everything that is going on in the world right now but I’m not complaining. It gives me more time to think about what I want to do with the space! My living room is about 95% done (I still need a coffee table and I would love a record stand) so I thought I would go ahead and share it with you guys 😀
We just moved in to the most beautiful, brand new apartment building in Nashville! As you guys know, we moved across the country from Portland, OR so we had to leave all of our furniture at home and moved with only the essentials in the back of our car. Luckily, I was able to bring a few decor pieces to start with but the decorating process is definitely going to take awhile. The first room that is close to being done is my bedroom so I thought I would show you guys the progress!
I’ve lived in my apartment for over a year and a half now and until recently, my bedroom never looked exactly how I wanted it to. I was always busy decorating other areas and putting it off. Slowly but surely, I started gathering pieces that I loved to decorate my bedroom with and I love how it looks now! I love mid-century modern and white minimalistic interiors so my bedroom is a little mix of both. I wanted to share my updated bedroom and some of the amazing pieces I found for it with you guys!
