Little Mermaid Beach Shack, Venice California
When I first moved into my studio apartment at the beach, it was a big reduction size in space from my Larchmont Village apartment. I knew I could do it, because I loved the big kitchen, mirrors and fireplace. I also realized how much space does one person need? So I only packed my bed and that was it. I was starting over and I would invest in new furniture. Compact furniture that I could also use for storage. In the beginning it took me three months to find the perfect couch that would convert into a bed for family or friends who wanted to visit. I got a great deal on a modern futon and I am still using it nine years later. I am looking to upgrade it with a gray linen futon when the time is right.
During this quarantine period, I knew I had to update some of the decor as I was home all of the time in the small space. It was driving me crazy to look at things I knew had to be updated. So I began getting pieces here and there all online at Amazon and delivered as a Prime Customer. The first thing I needed was a new barstool. My other one was ruined by wear and tear and it frayed, so I had to replace it. Since I was working from home I needed an official workspace again, so I could go to my office. You need that in a small studio. So, I ordered one reluctantly as I have no idea what this would really look like. Turned out to be a great purchase, easy to assemble and modern. Now, I can look out my Venice Beach window, and see the surfers walk by as I work.
Next, I decided to upgrade the bedroom. I needed it, it was overdue. I decided on a light blue comforter set. I like blue as it's a cool, calming, ocean color vibe. This was a wonderful quilted set for a great price. I loved it, but then I started to notice I needed more pillows to accent the bed and make it look perfect. As I am a Gratitude Life Coach, I thought I would add a element of gratitude before I close my eyes at night and remind myself how blessed I am. I found this adorable pillow.
I nicknamed my studio apartment the Little Mermaid Beach Shack as I love to swim and I live four blocks to the beach. So a fun, cute name and I have a cute sign on the front door that says Mermaids Welcome, Shells optional.
I wanted to share some of my upgrades with you and how I am growing my own food right here inside my studio apartment. During the quarantine, it made me realize how I needed to order my Tower Garden Home from my company after partnering with them two and a half years ago. It was a necessity to me, not a luxury item. I think we should all have our own food supply of fresh produce. Some grocery stores ran out of fresh produce and I really didn't need to go to the grocery store once I stocked up on frozen and canned goods, but I kept running out of fresh items. So, I ordered it, and I am so glad I did.
