This is my very, very, very good friend, my sister!! I love her so much 🫶🏽 and I’m very proud of her!! I’ve been to her home several times and this is not for the cameras, her home has always looked like this ✨ She’s always had great style, great taste and it always came so natural, so easy. She doesn’t have any formal training, she is self taught, it’s a gift 🌟 and the way she comes across on camera is her authentic self! She’s great! Cheers 🥂

[@alisadotson8403]

Yes. Sometimes the show has people who would make me feel very UNwelcomed, but this young lady would be a warm and welcoming hostess.

Tamiko's home is a compact little jewel box filled with lovely treasures and what a delightful host.

You’d said that so beautifully and accurately!

The thing that gets me her kitchen is big as a closet and she cooks all the time and I watch homeworthy tours with people have the biggest kitchen bigger than most apartments the latest greatest appliances and they don’t cook a thing 🤣🤣 so props to her

It’s so easy to discern homes that are collected authentically. You can feel the warmth and treasure of this home through the video. And Tamiko, you are stellar. ✨

[@angelataylor8863]

I like her personality. She has done a lot in a small space. Typically these home touring channels focus on very large places. It is refreshing to see a place I relate to.

[@cathybutcher4826]

Her home exudes peace and tranquility. I'd love to hang out in her cozy home. She seems like such a kind, sweet soul. Thank you for sharing with us!!

[@marthawolfsen5809]

I love that she uses pastels in a way that comes out sophisticated instead of just sweet. Not that easy to do!

[@belindabruceaustin7127]

Your home is beautiful!! You said you didn't want to invest too much it's a rental. You been there 14 years it's your home invest!! You are blessed to have such a beautiful space. Way too many people don't. GOD BLESS YOU.

[@alexandra2jerry]

It is a rental which pains me because if she had spoken to a bank, I’m positive they could have helped her to become a homeowner not a renter! Her Landlord must adore her!

[@debraharris776]

The aesthetics & colors in this home, are simply gorgeous!!!

[@Blessedbeyondmeasur88]

LOVE that Kamiko paid homage to her Mother on so many levels. The Felicia bed that she created is gorgeous!!!!

[@ms.aineec.beland9684]

She has a lovely home; she is real and unique; her kitchen with all those items is so very expensive. Congrats on all that you do!home is sheltering in place and a sanctuary where you can feel safe. Well-said.

[@lisagorman2480]

I think this is exactly how one becomes a successful decorator/designer. Self-taught, personal, evolved, making mistakes along the way. Kudos to her for making a small space stunningly gorgeous in a way that many homeowners in spaces fifty times as large, never accomplish.

[@chumabanjwa4662]

Tamiko has a beautiful home. I love that it's filled with stuff that SHE loves . I would be happy to visit 😊

[@justylezyourownway4340]

I absolutely love love love this tour. For the first time I see my classy free style spirit on a home tour. Design your home to reflect you. No need to copy others. Just inspire each other. I love all the colors she used! ❤

[@melaniederima2314]

This is probably the most beautiful but practical home that I have ever seen! It's so lovely but looks so comfortable!!😍🤩🥰🏆

[@carlabradley127]

I love her apartment! This is an example of having a beautiful space in an apartment and not living in a blank box. Such a lovely woman with a great eye. Beautiful home.

[@mysweetestdays]

"It's my home the way that...makes me feel comfortable and safe and secure..." YES! Too many people decorate for other people instead of as an expression of themselves. This home is beautiful! I'm only half way through the video and Tamiko has inspired me to use more blue and white ( I especially love those pretty lampshades).

[@karis7649]

I often fantasize about living ALONE one day, in a little jewel box apartment - just my own - and just like this ❤

[@sonjafarnsworth6208]

What a clever idea to cover things in sheets of copper! I love the look.

It’s a cute apartment that shows someone who loves to decorate lives in it.

[@margosnyder5311]

I loved watching this host show her beautiful home. I appreciate how she is not afraid to show her quirks and imperfections in her design, and let’s face it, we all have them!

[@bethpierce6861]

She hung a painting sideways just so it would match the others in the row- hilarious! Such a sweet and unique lady and her home reflects that

[@AmberCaprie]

I LOVE her bed!! She should sell that in her shop 💙.

[@iamspartacus7756]

I really enjoyed that Tamika is not a pretentious person, she was very real in what she likes or doesn’t, and how she lives. Her apartment is really lovely. My favorite color is green so her couch and that speckled rug are wonderful! All my life I have searched for items that could not be found, the fact that Tamika created a business from that idea is really amazing and something to admire.

[@jayyjean638]

I loved the round nightstands in her bedroom. Beautiful shape for the irregular headboard( which I also love very unique.)

[@mjchooseygurl]

Her bed is beautiful.

[@gregpendrey6711]

Very one of a kind.

[@tammyhurst6729]

I love your home. You have made it so welcoming and gorgeous. Well done.

[@joannebille6848]

It is maximalist so yes, a lot to take in but I love the color and energy of this home. Often when you live in the tri-state area you are short on space but she has embraced it. So much better and warmer than a boring neutral space.

[@mjchooseygurl]

Yes, it is maximalist. The colors in her home and her antique china collection are chef’s kiss.

[@MsBabygirl1920]

She's a beautiful lady and she has a lot of beautiful pieces. It is a bit busy and too crowded for my taste, but if she loves it then I love it for her. And as one reviewer also mentioned her jacket is lovely.

[@Ceallecreative]

I throughly loved this interview. Someone mentioned her home was like a jewelry box. That was a perfect description, how accurate. ❤

[@gregpendrey6711]

I like the kitchen too. I read the copper dishwasher as a bread box. My grandma had one with a bread board on the inside of the drop down door. It was finished in copper color metal and it looked like a set with the canisters from the 50's. My mom lost track of all our family heirlooms.
