Right now, my bedroom and spare room are a little too messy to share, but I wanted to share my main living space of my post divorce condo. I was married for 23 years to an awful serial cheater, and I have been free of him for four years now! I just moved into this condo that I purchased from the sale of our marital home. I love where I live now. I mean, I loved my home too, but I love this place too. XOXO! Thank you for letting me share.

very small but i’m proud of it. most stuff inc mirror, shoe rack etc is second hand/thrifted

I just needed to show you guys because it sparked so much joy for me

My birthday just passed, and my amazing mom and sister got this lamp for me! I had been eyeing it for a while, but had no idea they’d picked up on how much I wanted it. So happy with how it looks on my desk.

my little bathroom. since taking these photos i've rearranged the pictures into something more pleasing, but i never get around to taking photos of the new arrangement.

we started remodeling this bathroom 2 years ago and what was supposed to be a quick aesthetic change turned into a structural nightmare when we discovered the ceiling joists below the room had been cut off. two years of slow work and procrastination happened, and during that time there was no bathroom to speak of, but we finally put the finishing touches on it today.

I posted this in r/vintage and was told to cross post here ฅ⁠^⁠•⁠ﻌ⁠•⁠^⁠ฅ

found these porcelain pieces (2 each of the cherub plates and the mirror) at my local goodwill, all taped into an amazon box and priced for TWENTY DOLLARS .... I immediately grabbed it, asked an employee to watch it at the counter for me, and RAN to put the rest of my things back 😭 my heart was pounding as I checked out, but I got them and they are now hanging above my Ethan Allen Heirloom vanity & chair combo 💛💛💛

instead of painting i put up fabric lace panels in my living room. :) i love living alone and being able to decorate exactly how i want! :)

I’ve lived in my studio since January 2023. This year I finally decorated. Decided I was done surviving and am choosing to thrive.

My favorite place to be - a combined office, library and place to watch DVDs.

Big time homebody, as such I have poured my heart into my space. I love it so much. Plenty of cozy spots for reading. My decor style has changed over the years, I think I’ve become a maximalist and I’m loving it🥰

Experimenting with different lamp options. I’ve never had my own space before, and I’m in love with it.

I posted last week asking for help with my living room arrangement after my new couch arrived. (The second pic is what I posted. Consider it the "before".) After reading through all your fabulous advice, I rearranged the living room and replaced the old table with a smaller one. I'm so glad I asked for your help because this new arrangement is bringing me so much joy. My friend came over the other night and noted how much more open it is and how the seating lends itself to conversation. Thanks again for all your insight, friends! You've made my home a happier place 💗

I posted a few days ago about what color chair I should get and went with the navy blue! Really happy with the apartment turnout so far given I only moved in 24 days ago and owned zero furniture for the livingroom before hand as livingroom furniture has always been supplied by my previous housemates. Still will work on putting more of my wall art up, but after my run in with bad house mates creating tense environments so happy to have full autonomy on my decorating and proud of how good its turned out in such a short time frame.

I finally feel like I have a little quirky sanctuary that is allllll mine and I could not be happier. I love my little home. No boys allowed! My two girls and two female cats agree ❤️ tv’s not too high for me!
