Sierra, here. ✌

An introverted, detail-oriented, and meticulous creative: documenting the slow, intentional, and realistic process of DIY-ing an apartment into a home — within the limitations of a rental.

If you dig home styling, thrift flips, DIYs, vintage finds, handmade goods, coffee, vegetarian food, knit grandpa sweaters, dark academia aesthetic, shopping local, Boy Meets World, Dr. Martens, 90s grunge and mid-2000s emo punk music — or the fact that writing this biographical blurb is clearly making me uncomfortable so my solution is to endlessly list increasingly obscure things: then I’m positive you’ll find something here that resonates with you. Stay a while and make yourself at home!
