Inside a 600 sq ft urban jungle in NYC's hell's kitchenMy plants play a major role in transforming the space into a sea of living things.Hey there! My name is Paul Thompson (Instagram: @plantmepaul), and I'm 38 years old. I'm a high school chemistry teacher at a top public school in NYC. When I'm not teaching, I'm usually tending to my over 100 plants in my cozy apartment. Other than that, I enjoy going to the movies, game nights, and exploring new ways to care for my plants. I'm curious, carefree, and unapologetically me.I grew up near NYC in New Jersey, but I never thought I'd live here. After I graduated from Rutgers University and wanted to pursue my master's, I chose Teachers College, Columbia; and since I was already in New York, I decided to stay – and here I am, fifteen years later! I currently live in Hell's Kitchen, and it's perfect for me. The location is central to everything, and close to my friends, local bars, and great restaurants.I'm living in a two-bedroom apartment with a roommate. It's a 600 sq. ft. brick-walled walk-up. It's nestled on top of a popular gay bar, but I don't hear any of the noise. The avenue can be busy sometimes, but my windows do a great job of keeping out the sound. I'm renting right now, and I've been here for the last three years. The rent is currently $3200 per month, and it's split between my roommate and me.plantmepaul·Saved 25·2023.12.29
Inside a cozy 820 sq ft nest in San FranciscoMy partner and I have been living in a cozy 820 sq ft condo in San Francisco for the past 10 years. We're situated on the top floor of a 4-story building, overlooking a beautiful central courtyard. One of the things I love most about our place is how conveniently located it is. We have easy access to the Muni T line, which not only takes me directly to work, but also provides a direct route to Chinatown.
When it comes to my design style, it's all about creating a space that feels like home to me. I love creating my own decor pieces and artwork, which allows me to express my personal style and vision. I'm a bit of a mix between an extrovert and an introvert, so while I love to entertain and have guests over, my home is still my sanctuary. I choose pieces that have their own stories and personal meaning, rather than just following a particular design style or era. I tend to gravitate towards warm and earthy tones with deep hues. These colors create a sense of comfort and relaxation, perfect for unwinding after a long day. I also enjoy incorporating elements like ambient lighting, textural fabrics, and natural elements, like wood and plants.
