Hi everyone! I'm back with a new post, my final post as a HipVan Ambassador for Season 7. ✨ I thought it would be a great way to end it off by giving you a glimpse into what my home truly looks like – real life, with imperfect furniture arrangements and a touch of everyday messiness. This is my living room in its more natural state. I'm always going to love my Togo chairs - they're so easy to move around the room depending on the activity. Here, they're arranged for relaxation, with a game of chess set up for play, and a movie playing in the background!
This is my dining room, where I often enjoy meals that I cooked up, while watching my favourite anime. I believe a cosy home is all about creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. For me, that often includes having easy access to a few of my favourite snacks!
What is a kitchen without it being constantly in use? I usually leave my dishes out to air dry after using the dishwasher, which often leaves the kitchen looking a bit less than pristine. Let's be honest, a perfectly styled kitchen is rarely the reality. I embrace the lived-in look, where the signs of daily life are visible. It's a reminder that this space is meant to be enjoyed on a practical level.
A kitchen fridge is never complete without all the travel magnets, messages, and photos adorning it! The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it makes perfect sense to display cherished memories and meaningful keepsakes right there.
This is the view from my common bathroom after I've finished my "business". It's a small but cute space with a tiny sink, inspired by the design of my larger master bathroom, which you can read/see all about in my separate bathroom post!
When work time is over, playtime begins! I love having my foldable mahjong table set up and ready to entertain guests. My dining chairs are easily repurposed for some serious mahjong action! Playing old-school 1950s music on my vinyl player while playing with my friends creates the perfect ambiance as well!
After a long day of work and play, it's time to unwind. I love jumping into my fluffy sheets at the end of the day. My self-drawn artwork, inspired by peaceful dreams, perfectly complements the relaxing vibes! I hope you got a better sense of a lived-in home, and if you have any questions or thoughts, please feel free to leave a comment below. I'd love to hear from you!
