Apartment Therapy Survey:

My Style: Global, eclectic, ethnic, spiritual, whimsical, functional, purposeful, inventive, and nuanced.

Inspiration: Everything I've ever seen, everyone I've ever meet, and anyplace I've ever been.

Favorite Element: The explosion of color—it makes a super small space seem alive and my "bedroom" curtains. My 8-year-old niece says "Auntie lives in a grown-up princess castle!" I agree and that makes me happy!

Biggest Challenge: To stop trying to do everything DIY and just bring in new items.

What Friends Say: How do you get so much * %$ into such a small space. That and they feel comfortable and/or inspired.

Biggest Embarrassment: My plant game. I kill them and I love them. If there's a group for that, I'll attend.

Proudest DIY: My breakfast bar table or EVERYTHING.

Biggest Indulgence: I'm a budget shopper, so I don't indulge. I make something out of nothing, and make it prettier than you'd imagine.

Best Advice: Try it if it's on your heart/mind and it will invite you into your own space. If it doesn't work, take it down the next day and putty up the hole :)

Dream Sources: Morocco, India, and everywhere.
