Day 1 | Hello, my name is Chloe, and I’m from South Korea.

  Hello, my name is Chloe, and I’m from South Korea. I’m starting this blog to document the things I love and the people I cherish. At first, I’ll mostly be writing about home decoration, but over time, I plan to expand to other topics like essays, paintings, and stories about life in Korea. I’m passionate about home styling, drawing, and listening to good music like jazz. I’m also drawn to well-organized spaces filled with vintage furniture, beautiful lighting, and meaningful objects. Writing essays that capture lessons from everyday life is another thing I love. As I start this blog, I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant, so I’d also like to share stories about my pregnancy journey here in Korea. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey—it truly means a lot to me. If you have any feedback or questions, feel free to send me a DM on Instagram.  Link :  Instagram

This led me to buy Danish vintage furniture and enjoy following the home styling of my Danish friends on Instagram. Then I discovered something interesting: many of my Danish friends were following minimalist Japanese styles. So now, I’m styling my home by blending Nordic, Danish, Japanese, and mid-century modern designs. However, I’ve become curious about the subtle differences between Nordic, Danish, and Japanese home styling. - Nordic Style : Emphasi...

Day 5 | I bought HAY color crate boxes for future kids! and for me as a tool of desk organizer.

I need a storage cabinet to organize items for the babies who will be born soon. That’s why I’ve been paying attention to storage brands, and the brand Tylko caught my eye. It’s a Polish brand, but unfortunately, they don’t deliver to Korea. So for now, I’ve decided to repurpose two existing IKEA cabinets as baby storage and use the Hay storage boxes to store smaller items. I came across Hay products by chance while searching online, and I love how they come in a variety of beautiful colors and can be stacked like blocks. You can even add wheels to make them portable. When I imagine the future when the kids are a little older, I think these boxes could be a fun way to teach them to clean up their toys or belongings. Since I’ll have two kids, I could assign different colors to each of them. The boxes come in different sizes, too, so it seems like an easy way to teach them how to organize from a young age: big boxes for large items, small boxes for small items. It’s obvious to us, but ...
