    Her space is so calming. Her voice is calming as well. Her space is delicate & feminine. My favorite part of her home is the bathroom.

      She isn’t overpaying at all. For $2000 2 hours north you get a geugy basement in someone’s house with ZERO amenities (fire pit area, pool, GYM in condo etc) it’s actually a fair deal i think ,which is sad :(

I also love that her own art (and that of her niece!) is on the wall and made for certain spaces.
