Viv wears an Old Navy dress and American Apparel headband. Janette wears a Turk & Taylor top, vintage Wrangler jeans, thrifted Nine West books, and jewelry by Soko. We share everything, and sharing a room has been a huge part of that! We've shared for over two years." Pro: Viv and I have the most special, bonded, inseparable relationship that I could ever imagine, which I wouldn't trade for the world.
"Con: Making out with my boyfriend in there.in my daughter's room. In ours, I kept Viv's book collection on the bottom, then a wire drawer for all her shoes, and then rows of shelves for everything else (including my printer). I had just seen Emily Henderson create loads of storage in Joy Cho's studio with a wall of IKEA PAX wardrobes-voilà, concealed storage! And those things are huge. The main thing I wanted to avoid was open shelving-while in a kid's room open shelving is awesome for display and decor, it would kill all 'zen' in my own room. "I thought about our shared room together for a while, and created a rendering to make sure my new furniture plans would fit. Cons: Sharing bathrooms, wearing pants, and not leaving dishes until tomorrow, which I'm awful at.sorry guys!" My first roommate set-up was with two girls who opted to share Viv's old room." "After a year of living on my own with Viv, and deciding to stay there, I financially had no option but to bring in a roommate! So, I started cleaning out closets. Er, not literally, because San Francisco!" But there was no denying that it was my home, I found in on Craigslist, I decorated it with love, I was invested in my neighborhood. "I thought many times about shedding that space and starting fresh, on principle. "I lived there three years with him, then three years without." Mash them together, then refine by highlighting a few themes with repetition, and you'll have a masterpiece." Anything less is kind of a waste of money. I filled it with plants, artwork, and textiles that were meaningful to me, and we ended up with a kind of Scandinavian-Bohemian-Midcentury mashup." "It was a pseudo-Victorian built in the 1920s, so it had a more practical floor plan than most old S.F. We overlooked Alamo Square Park, had a garage, had a backyard, and had landlords upstairs who really cared for us, especially after Viv's dad left." "I lived there for six years, and it was the perfect home.
