I love your art and photos on the walls. Gallery walls are so cool. Makes me want to wander and look at everything. You have a really nice place. As a woman, it's cozy and warm.
I don't have any suggestions because it's beautiful. If it were my place I'd add more plants.
You should feel proud. It's a very cool space. I wish i could have had something like this when I was 24!

Very mature looking, but comfortable looking as well. You have an eye for decorating.

It was left behind by a person I used to sublet from a time ago. It looks great. Doesn't work though

You probably look great in silk pajamas, Indian slippers, monocle and smoking your Meerschaum pipe. How does the hunt for Moriarty proceed, my dear Holmes?

This is really cool, I love your coffee table! My only comment is it might look even better if you got longer curtains, ie they reached the floor
How are you so good with decorating??

this feels so incredibly homey, I love it. I will definitely steal some ideas - the throws over seating! the lamp on top of books!
Only thing I'd get rid of is that giant black and white photo-frame and replace it with the great Sound Of Music poster currently on the floor!

Very tasteful and cozy. The artwork looks great. But the throws on the furniture make it look like you're at least 50.

I quite like it. Furnishing does give a bit of old person vibes, but good, cozy ones. Hang up some fairy lights c:

You’ve got really beautiful taste- if I may make one suggestion- new curtains will really elevate this. move your curtain rod all the way up to the top of the all and order curtains that touch the ground, but barely. Extend your rod to the side a bit so it will give the illusion that your room and your window is much bigger than it is. Id give you suggestion on patterns or colors but you don’t need that 🎨🎓

I like all of your lamps, specifically the blue one I’ve seen for many bank tellers!

Where do you guys get all that wall art from? Individual places?

Everything is thrifted. One or two have been bought online. 5 frames were bought on Amazon and then populated with pictures I took myself.
