Environmental Wellness: The main room of my Lady Lair is maaaybe 20-30% done, but it is in fair use! 🤗
My boyfriend said one time that it’s like a whole other apartment up here, and it really is my own little retreat and oasis. As we do little renovations in the house, we’re making joint decisions, but this is truly my personal little dream space I’m creating. (Also, important to note that he already has his own walk-in closet space and office, too; so it’s not like I’m encroaching on his needs or he’s sacrificing any space.)
I’ll go into detail once it’s complete, but everything is intentional and purposeful - it usually takes me months to fully plan out, research and then commit to any kind of purchase, especially because I’m still spending my own moolah and have a budget, lol.
Everything from the colors to the fabrics, placement/organization, artwork, patterns, etc. is a carefully curated decision to promote the vibe I’d like to have influence how I feel in this space. Interior design can be art - it’s a type of creative expression. My space reflects me and my personal taste, as best as possible.
My favorite investment into my Lady Lair has been a rocker/glider/recliner. One, because an 80-year-old person lives inside me; and two, rocking and/or putting my feet up and leaning back is sooooo relaxing and soothing to me. I just be up here chillin’ after these long days at work lol. Getting this piece of furniture was pretty key to my vision.
Home, to us, is supposed to be your base for rest, peace, safety, contentment, and comfort. It’s an escape from a lot of the obligations, productivity and stressors of life. It’s one of the reasons I had chosen to live alone for so long - less disruptions (in various ways). To make such a drastic change in both of our lives by unifying our homes… we’re truly in sync 🥰. More on that later.
Anyway, I was just settling into my chair and was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude, and wanted to share some of the moving progress. Hopefully I’ll get some more time to write this weekend 🤞🏾
