Top Home Tours This Week Featuring Dining Table for Small Spaces
🏠Inside a 925 Sq Ft Pastel-Filled Eclectic Loft Styled With DIY TouchesHi! I’m Witty—currently in my third year of living on my own. I’ve always been a homebody at heart, so it didn’t take long for me to start personalizing my space. One quiet afternoon about five years ago, while sitting at home, it hit me: If I’m spending so much time here, shouldn’t this space feel more like me?
That same day, I picked up a bucket of paint and started painting a few pieces of furniture, and I’ve been slowly shaping my home ever since. I’m naturally drawn to vibrant, gem-like colors of fruits, flowers, and minerals, and I’ve filled this home with colors that make me feel good.
My place is a loft-style studio, with everyday living happening on the lower level and a growing hobby zone upstairs. It’s compact, but full of life.

This is the view from the loft. The ceiling height makes the whole space feel more open and bright—it's what sold me on the place. 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
