Our next guest for our "At Home With" series is Danni Hong. Danni is here to share her gorgeous living space with us!
"For
a long time, our home and space was filled with our furniture from
college and just a lot of junk. After a while we were so tired of the
way we were living, we decided to get rid of everything and fill it with
items that really matched our aesthetic and style—items that were more
unique and special. We shop at local flea markets, and that's how we
came to acquire pretty much everything in our home! The more we bought
the more we realized we liked the "industrial" look. We ended up with a
lot of metal and wire pieces. We love our place and coming home to space that really matches who we are."
"My favorite finds are some bowls straight from my Grandfather's village.
We were able to take a family trip to China a few years ago and visit
the house my grandfather grew up in. It was abandoned and there were
some dishes still there. So we split them up, and each of us got
some. Definitely one of the most special items we have in our place!"
"We have lived here for about 7 years. As I mentioned above, our home was just filled with a
lot of furniture and things from our days in college. One of our
friends who would hang out with us a lot in college came over recently.
He hadn't been over in years but when he walked in he said he felt like
he walked through a time machine and was transported back in time. I
forgot he hadn't seen our home for a while and all the new decor was
totally different than what he remembered before. So I guess our space
has evolved quite a bit since then ;)"
"I don't know if it's super unusual, but one year we went to Portland for
my birthday. And we came across this auction. They were auctioning this
'bear ass bank' which had a bear on one end and a donkey on the other. I
thought it was so funny! It was a fun memory to create, going to the
auction, actually bidding & winning ;) It was our first auction we
had ever been to."
"The space gets used for eating and relaxing. Sometimes it gets used for
crafting. During craft show season, all my stuff takes over, and it's
filled with boxes, suitcases, and product—it looks like a crafty
hurricane went through. It doesn't always stay as clean as it looks in
the photos, but we enjoy the space when we're not busy working!"
Thank you for sharing this wonderful space with us, Danni! You can find more of Danni over at her blog Oh, Hello Friend. xo.

Love all these pictures! We have been realizing recently that we're both really into that kind of vintage, industrial style! It's fun agreeing on things!

I really love this home. I also really like the day of starting over. I'm not really there with my living space, but man do i wish I could do it with my wardrobe. I love her shoes, and the bag hanging on the wall, and the rug, and the bank, and and and...so good.

I love this space. My house seems so cluttered right now. I have so many projects going on right now. The pictures just make me want to go organize things.

That bank cracks me up. I would bid on that for sure. I love getting things for my home that remind me of the trips I've taken.

Lovely space, really love all the maps and globes, I'd love some big maps up in my house
How special that you were able to take bowls from where your Grandfather lived, such a fantastic way of keeping memories alive
