Kim's Profile

I have the oval one above and I put a small hand towel underneath. Every two weeks I throw that thing in the wash. No puddles, and a spa-like atmosphere.

Etsy always has the best décor stuff....I'm fond of the embroidered one, though the hands are a bit hard to see.

My tip for cornstarck..actually my mom's tip is to mix it with a teaspoon of water before adding it to your sauce. No clumps. Ever.

Oh, these are beautiful!

I'm moving to be closer to work, but I'm not a stone's throw. Instead of 5 min from my previous job, I'm now about 15-20 min because I can't afford to rent where my workplace is, nor do I really want to. My new place is equidistant from friends and work. Before I had to drive an hour to hang out with friends, just as stressful as driving an hour to work. It's all about middle ground.

I'm a minimalist, so I don’t need the extra storage under my bed. I have big hallway storage spaces for sheets, etc.

I have a high-quality futon and I'm on the lookout for some tatami mats, or I was going to use the wooden decking they sell in squares from IKEA.

I have the same aesthetic as the photo, I keep everything on the floor. I have books in piles and a big wall hanging behind my bed, it works as a headboard to the eye.

It gives my room more calm. The only thing I do in my room is read and sleep, so I keep everything else out and all my clothes in the closet.

I was *just* coming here to ask about that coat rack. So cute.

The expedit perfectly fits records and turntables. I don't think they're that bulky or ugly and my bf is also a DJ. They give cool audiophile look to a place, once you get the stuff off folding tables and properly displayed.

My mom, growing up, always used coconut cream for curries (of the Viet variety). She maintains it makes the sauce creamier and thicker.

I use light coconut milk, because coconut cream must have more calories (I have no idea if this is true).

I like the squiggle idea way better than a gnome.
