#l.a. task

jade’s penthouse feels like home to her because she feels at ease when she’s there. she’s usually most comfortable with her own company, and since she lives alone, she’s able to be just that. on the rare occasion that she does get a visitor, they never shy away from letting her know that her home is beautiful, despite the minimalism.

jade is a city girl at heart, so the tall floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking LA fits her perfectly. she loves watching the lights from up above, so it’s not out of the ordinary for her to sit and catch a vibe on her balcony.

she’s definitely the most proud of how the entire space came out, because when she first toured the unit, she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to put everything together herself, simply because she had no experience in interior decoration, but to get surprise, she was able to pull everything off.
