I am constantly asked when I’m going to write more home decor articles for OMFGstyle.com.
Ever since I was strong enough to push a piece of furniture and dexterous enough to make a donut out of a piece of tape, I have rearranged, redecorated, and reimagined the spaces around me (much to my mom’s dismay and [...]

Hi girls! I don’t know about you but I have been obsessed with all things miniature since I was a little kid. I had a dollhouse filled with miniature things but could really care less about the little people inside. Tiny cornflakes and cans of soup however—very important! I have taken this hoarding of tiny [...]

Okay, so sorry for holding out on you, but since the beau reads this site, I couldn’t give up the goods on this before I actually gave him this gift for Romantic Hanukah (our anniversary and V-Day are 4 days apart, so we do big gifts on each and small ones on the days in [...]

I can honestly say that this product has changed my life. Lame, I know, but it’s as important to me now as deodorant or toothpaste. What can I say? My clothes are always wrinkled. I’m wrinkly. And this shit actually does work!
Since they don’t sell it at my local Duane Reade (why, God, [...]

The New York Times recently published an article on radiator humidifiers, which was referenced in an Apartment Therapy post (which is where I found it).
With the extremely cold temperatures in the Northeast as of late, the heat has been cranking in our apartment. Dry, dry heat. And like many New Yorkers, our dry heat comes [...]

Hello again, girls. I don’t know if you have noticed but Valentine’s Day is soon upon us. Honestly, if you haven’t noticed, you must be a recluse with 30 cats in your apartment. I mean, Duane Reade alone could supply the entire city with cheap chocolate and fake roses. By the way, who is the [...]

I was recently inspired by the folks at Design Sponge to makeover my filing cabinet. Since I also use it as the end table in my living room, I wanted it be as attractive as it is functional. My original intent was simply to spray paint the whole cabinet white and change the hardware. Easy, [...]

Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got; it’s just my current obsession with pretty, pretty crystals. On a necklace, as a candle holder, or simply on it’s own next to a book on a shelf, they are the chicest accessories that also happen to have healing powers. Nothing wrong with that.

I’ve struggled for a long time to figure out the best way to utilize the non-working fireplaces in my apartment. The fireplaces were a big selling point of the apartment—we loved the idea of having classic Brooklyn details and a MANTLE—but it always seemed a bit of a waste to have that big hole in [...]

Yeah, I have a lot of bags. Recently, my mom called me a collector, which somehow made me feel less like a compulsive shopper and more along the lines of a connoisseur. However you look at it, it’s not abnormal to have acquired many handbags over the years; I know it’s not just me.
Before I [...]
