Tiny Series | Wifey

If you know me, you know how obsessed with Bon Appétit I am. The podcast, the magazine, the Instagram. It's all good. Since their HQ is in NYC, they post about a lot of delicious hidden gems in the city. Wifey BK was one of those gems, and luckily I have some friends who are equally concerned about the aesthetics of their coffee shop who came with me to check it out.

It's part coffee shop, part art gallery, and part impeccable floral display, all beautiful. Owned by two artists, Simone Shubuck and Janine Foeller, it's housed in a minimalist chic industrial sort of building in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn. I've only lived here a couple of months and have already taken many friends here. It's just one of those really good vibe, beautiful environment type of places. Very cool, but everyone is very kind.

Every detail seems attended to, from the tree stump seating, to the artfully scrawled menus, and colorful cheer. Every corner is more photogenic than the last.

I adore all the handmade china and the feeling that you're inside an artist's studio. The whole place is expressive, through the art, the gorgeous florals, and the ever-changing menu. If you find yourself in Park Slope anytime soon (this place is only temporary...), check it out for yourself.

As with most anything in my life, I had a serious vision for my bedroom in New York. I knew it was tiny, and I was ready to work with that. Copenhagen color combos + a modern aesthetic with antique details were the phrases that kept buzzing around in my head. I also attempted to make it a little more gender neutral since Eric lives with me now.

I must say, I'm pretty proud of the way it turned out. While it is a touch more IKEA than I longed for (what can I say, I had a limited budget!), I still love the midcentury modern vibes and the rich pops of color.

I adore our credenza-esque dresser, the mod white globe lamp, the vintage-y standing lamp, and the mix of art that Eric and I have collected. Plus that mustard yellow with the navy velvet pillows is just too good.

I work from home, so having a beautiful space in which to be is so important to me. I enjoy working from my favorite coffee shop down the block, and try new cafés often, but sometimes it's nice to just be at home where I know the wifi is reliable and I can watch Ina while my documents load.
