This is so real. Honestly, it takes a lot to admit feeling this kind of pressure—but I’ve been carrying it. I’m managing a Tattoo/Barber/Piercing studio, studying Interior Design, trying to be present as a single mom, and still thinking about how our home looks and feels. Sometimes I have to remind myself—that’s already a lot. I’m literally building a future and a home at the same time.

And then there’s Instagram. God, it gets to me. That never-ending scroll of perfectly curated, spotless homes that look like they belong in a magazine. Even though I know it’s all staged, filtered, and probably sponsored, it still makes me feel like I’m falling behind on something I never even signed up for.

But hey—those two teak bookshelves I found on Facebook Marketplace for 1000 kr? Total win. There’s something so satisfying about giving old furniture a new life. They’ve added so much warmth and personality to our rental. Way more soul than a brand-new showroom setup could ever give. And I even got them from a woman raising funds for a local sports team, so it felt good supporting someone else, too.
