Heya! I'm Cara and I live in a 405 sq. ft. studio apartment in Center City, Philadelphia with my black lab Sterling.
I moved to Philadelphia a little over a year ago to finally fulfill my dream of living in the middle of a big city. I quit my job, sold my home (and most of my belongings), packed up my 2012 Toyota Corolla, and drove through the night with Sterling to our new city. The last year has been a complete whirlwind, full of healing, learning, and growing. I will be sharing studio apartment living tips and tricks, home decor, design ideas, city life adventures and travel. Thanks for being here, we can't wait to hang out!
Philadelphia is one of my favourite cities and I always visit Center City when I'm there. It's a nice mixture of New York, DC, and Baltimore. Makes sense since they share similar architectural styles.
I can't stand the "kitchen in the hallway" layout. I would hang some vertical blinds in front of the counter to screen it from view when company comes. That background drumming is irritating to boot. Love your big windows.
Omg I’m looking into this apt complex to move into and this same unit. I’m soo glad I came across this :) I love the decor. Def need to get some of these
I just watched this, and enjoyed your tour. I think your studio is true to size because the kitchen is pretty large for a studio. I love how you decorated it. I think I missed where you purchased your couch. I love the color and style. Can you tell me where you purchased it. Sterling is a very handsome boy ❤❤
Your studio is beautiful. How nice to have all those cabinets there when you moved in. I also love the three big windows. You did such a great job with the decor and you’re so fortunate to have all that storage and closets. To me, your studio looks larger than the size you quoted.
Cara! I am so so sorry for your loss! 💔 My thoughts are with you🤗 About some other stuff - I honestly adore your studio! Wouldn't change a piece! It's amazing🤩🤩I love your style (home decor but the way you dress as well!) and can't wait for more content once you're ready ofc😊 Have a good week!😊😇
Cara, I just wanted to say that I’m so deeply sorry for the loss of your sweet boy, Sterling. He was an absolute joy to see on IG and he is so loved and so missed. Sending you so much love. 💕 🐾 🐶 You are the best dog mommy and you both were blessed to have each other.
Your space is so inviting. I love watching your videos and adore your IG account. Also love sweet Sterling. (Rest well, sweet boy). Thank you for sharing. ❤
I’m thinking of downsizing from a one bedroom to a studio. I’m currently looking for places in Center City… I live in Manayunk at the moment. Your place is super cute 😍😍
What a beautiful place you ,have and I love the way you showed it.. you didn't talk you let us enjoy the beauty of your place . Some of these videos tell you everything they got inside their cabinet like you can't see it once they open it.. really? Then you got the ones who dress up like they're going to the academy awards hoping to be discovered by I guess a movie director .. Thumbs down.. and less not forget the ones who like to look at themselves in the camera all the time.... your viewing of your apartment was done perfectly.. and it's beautiful!
