🍞 Renter-Friendly Tip: Art Without the Holes
This week’s theme is all about renter-friendly interiors, so I wanted to share one of my favorite little styling hacks 💡
I recently got these adorable large art prints of bakery breads (baguettes, croissants, all the carbs I love 🥐🍞), and instead of drilling holes into the wall, I just perched them on top of my tall bookshelf. Super easy, no tools needed — and it actually creates a more relaxed, layered look that I really love.
The bookshelf acts like a mini gallery shelf, and since the frames are large, they still make a statement without needing to be hung. It’s renter-friendly, damage-free, and totally customizable — I can switch out the art or move things around anytime.
It’s a small change, but it really adds so much personality to the space. And the best part? My walls stay perfectly intact 🤍

The answer is: absolutely! 😆 The key is in one important thing: storage.
Because my kitchen is not only used for cooking, but also for other things, I want the space to remain neat and functional. So when designing this kitchen, I really focused on storage.
One of the highlights is the custom island table in the middle of the kitchen. The design is simple and versatile, but it secretly has many functions👍🏼
On one long side, this table functions as a dining area. The stool can be tucked inside so it doesn't take up space.
On the other side that is more hidden, there are drawers for storing cooking utensils, spoons, forks, small containers, and even spices. Because this part is not immediately visible from the outside, it looks clean but its function is maximized.
It doesn't stop there, the side of this island table also has a small shelf for storing books. Besides being useful, it also looks really cute as an accent in the kitchen. You could say, this island table is the star of the kitchen!!🌟✨ haha
For other storage, I utilize the main cabinet section that is attached to the wall. Items that are 'not so nice to look at' like gas cylinders, dry food with its busy and colorful packaging🥵🥵, medicines, and cleaning products, I hide them all there👌🏽😌
With all this storage, the kitchen looks neat all the time, not only for cooking, but also a comfortable place for other activities. Sometimes I work here, sometimes read a book while drinking tea, or journal in the morning⛅️🍵📒
