Ever since I was a child, I’ve had an obsession with bathrooms. They are my favorite rooms and no matter where I’ve lived, it’s the room I spend the most time in — I’ll prop up against a bathtub to do homework, to check emails. I take daily baths. Sometimes I’ll even nap in the bathroom. All this oversharing to say: I wanted our bathroom to feel like a space I loved.

I’ve been an Airbnb host in two of my prior homes, and now in my current one. Airbnb is probably the app that as most changed my life. It enabled me to save enough for a downpayment on my first house, it’s helped me travel the world on a nonprofit salary, and it’s introduced me to so many cool people and places.
