On Laura’s Insta, I enjoy how expressive she is in her daily videos (Insta Stories) and how much she shares with her followers, from her morning coffee to her frequent trips to IKEA and garden shops. I’m most impressed by her overall excitement for mundane home projects – she is motivated to get to work on things that most people whine and procrastinate about like laying a deck floor, adding molding to walls, and having to repaint because the color wasn’t quite right the first time around. Laura and her boyfriend Victor jump right in with contagious laughter and lots of smiles and kisses. Laura’s approach to everything she does is centered around staying positive, making small moments count, and doing everything with a complete heart.
Laura’s interiors are very tidy and well-edited. Together, they share a 140m2 space spread across two floors in the attic with a generous outdoor terrace, but even a large city apartment like this could easily become too full – yet she takes the lead in keeping it simple and relatively minimal. It can often be a challenge to share a space with pets, which I asked her about. She confessed to never being a “cat type”, but her two cats, Yoko Ono and John Lennon, moved in with her on a whim and now she can’t imagine living without them. She expressed that it’s, “incredibly nice to come home to them” (especially when she lived alone in her former apartment), that, “they greet me at the door and they love to cuddle up in bed in the evening… They’ve been there for me throughout many difficult situations and have helped me with their cuteness.” 🙂
