37 Hermès Boxes

I have to say that even though I like houses, I am more of an apartment person. I've lived in apartments more than in houses all throughout my life, so that may have influenced me. Also, even though I love clothes, I'd never buy a Hermès bag. Let alone a Birkin bag. That being said, Ryan does check all the other boxes for me.

First of all, I think it'd be fab to live in New York in Union Square. Yes, I do. I am used to apartment living and I know how apartments look in NY, so this is actually quite cool. I like the idea of having a 'landing' place for keys and bags and shoes (quick, get the salts for Maddie!). My place is also 'shoe free' because it's carpeted. The pets never come here. Ever. Under any circumstance. 

I think that they did well with the kitchen. Very renter-friendly. I'm thinking about doing something like this in my bathroom. When you rent or when you do not have a ton of money, updating the hardware and making formica look fab are a must. A few touches here and there can make a difference. 

I like the idea of having all your trinkets and mementos around you (you've seen my place) and the story of finding the bookends is typically me. I've found more than one treasure in other people's trash. Don't judge me. The idea of having a gallery wall is also one I like (see my place) as well as the idea of having a 'corner' for yourself. I have several of those. They have become super important during the pandemic, when I have had to create safe spaces throughout my basement garden apartment in order to keep the little sanity I have intact. 

I found this tour very 'real' because this apartment is not overly curated. You can actually tell that people live here. People like you and I. And I like Ryan! Yes, I think he's super charming. Yes, I'd be tempted. Yes, I'd let the husband join in cause I'm slutty.

XOXO

P.S. his Instagram is so much fun!
