I am a 32 year old coffee writer, recent author and blogger from the coffee break dot com.

Living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I make $50,000 a year.

I have 12 K and loans and 10-K and savings.

We paid $2000 a month in Rent 1 50 utilities, and we split everything.

My fiance, because they was born and he is a professional soccer player.

And he also has a lifestyle brand call Carvel, which is his last name, our future last name and its lifestyle brand that includes apparel photography events.

The thing I love most about our place is the light.

We have a lot of plans, and it gets pretty cold here and the winners a really long So the more light the better, just really brightens up the space that makes it feel really warm and welcoming, right?

My fiance is a photographer, so a lot of The imagery that we have in the house is stuff that he shot or things that I paid it myself.

I think one of the biggest things about creating a space and wanting to design it is wanting to do it affordably.

So if you feel like you're talented enough, go for it.

Put your own stuff up these air from this really a great vintage store here in Philly.

Ah, lot of our stuff in the apartment actually is.

From there, we try to support local businesses whenever we can disclaim where the light bulbs or from Target.

When I moved up here, Warren kept, um, a pie just naturally got put there, even though I can't reach, like, half stuff, we keep sugar in this whisky bottle.

I know it's kind of corny, but I thought the bottle was really pretty.

So I said, I don't want to get rid of it.

Warren wanted to have, like, a proper far, and I was like, This is not bachelor pad.

We're gonna put them up in a cabinet, were getting married this year, so we cook a lot.

We are really trying to commit to making sure that we stay on top of our finances, so we cook as much as we can.

If we're out running errands, it's running late.

We'll run through a drive through and try to grab food.

Will try to have a date night at least twice a month, but other than that, we're in this kitchen making dinner.

Warren is a great cook, and the funny thing is, I kind of misunderstood him cooking so much as he loved to cook.

So I kind of let him take the lead on that.

He's like no child, like we just have to eat.

So I really tried to, like, take it up a notch and cook more and be more of a team player in that way.

I've always heard that weddings could be really expensive, but I feel like there's just no way to know how expensive they actually are.

Warren and I aren't flashy, there's nothing cute to us about being like Oh my gosh, we actually want $20,000 over budget like that's really not the goal for us because they have businesses and we work for ourselves.

It's really important to make sure that we're using the money.

It definitely has been a big change in terms of lifestyle, like a lot of the things that we would have wanted to do that we wouldn't have had to think so much about.

We have to be really conservative about now.

We have a few different things that we've set up here in the space.

A few of them are especially sentimental for me here.

I have a fertility and I'll actually stole it from my mom's house.

She has them all over the place, and I've always liked them so much.

So I was like She won't notice if one is missing.

This thinking guy is just a reminder to stay locked and stay focused and on task.

I think it's something that I have to work really hard out because there's so many distractions of so many things pulling me in different directions.

This is like one of my favorite things in the house, where these little photo books that I made for Warren and eyes like one year anniversary.

So it was just kind of a way to commemorate our time together and highlight the special year that we had here.

We have the household intended, which I say that like it intended cheek kind of way because I do not play video games.

On the rare occasion that there's a group of friends over, I'll know that they're playing because the whole house is like erupting and the war of, like fighting and yelling here, we have warns.

I call it like his trophies, soccer ball collection.

Each ball has a significant reason for being here.

And I wish I could tell you exactly what those reasons where you know, sometimes you just walk in and say, Hey, if you want the balls out, we can put the pulse.

Not sure why this one is deflated, but I do think that it's really cool that he's found ways in kind of a subtle way to add, you know, part of a really big part of his life, entire design.

And then here we have a police planet which was like one of my coveted plants, like I wanted one for so long.

And then Trader Joe's started selling them for, like, $8.

You guys noticed there are a 1,000,000 different pots in here.

We definitely tried to find ways to mix it up, something that I started to run into as I looked around and I felt like all I saw was terra cotta does.

So I went from painting the pots myself to finding cool ones.

Now the one of the corner of the yellow one is actually something that we've had for a long time, and yellow is like kind of a subtle theme throughout our house.

So you find different ways just to kind of break up winner.

When it's like gray and dark in here, it's a little too much for me.

So yellow is like a bright, sunny, happy color that's really helped a lot.

This coffee table is something that Warren has had forever.

I don't know how many dinners sitting here, this coffee table watching TV, and I don't judges.

A typical Friday night for us is normally one of two Things were either making dinner at home.

We most likely will have some show on or even we're house hunting right now, so it's not fun.

But a lot of our nights have turned into meetings or work sessions, just trying to see if we can find I have sent me.

Like if the numbers make sense, If we had a living room, this little nook right here would probably be it.

I've lived here in this apartment of Philly for the last year and three months for that.

My apartment in bad story was like a room at the front, a room at the back.

And then there's this long, narrow space in the middle.

And it was like, What are we gonna do with this face?

Warren came across this piece of wood and he got it, and he's like Charleston thing about making it a shelf.

And I was like, Really, he and his grandpa actually like, came over to my apartment.

They had a heck of a time trying to get into that brick wall.

But it's just such a great memory for me, So I would love to always have this in our spaces.

Wherever we end up the chair is another purchase from jinxed.

My favorite designed moments of the ones that happened by accident.

We were setting up the space, and I think it was the first time we had to water plants.

And I remember Warren like he put just like a random nail and I step back and I was like Big and I was really pumped.

I was like, Let's do it straight through So we ended up having this one.

We put up that with that when this has been a great way to kind of create like a water down urban jungle in our house.

The hanging planters that we have here are Macron May and I made those myself.
