For a long time I was decorating in all neutrals but avoided anything old since my apartment was already, well, old (and not in a charming way, more of an 80s rental nightmare kinda way). It started looking bland real quick, borderline STERILE, until I started layering in things that are roughed up and aged. It’s been a slow process to bring the soul back into this place, and it’s still far from perfect, but I’m so happy with where it’s at.
