I have gallery walls all over my eclectic maximalist apartment. MORE IS MORE! It's not about what's in or out. It's about what makes you happy.

[@sarahlynnirving]

I completely agree!

[@imaginempress3408]

Go big or go home!

[@graceaxisa4213]

I'm with you! I don't care whether Art walls are in fashion or not, I'm keeping mine! I've had Art walls in all of my homes over the years (since I was a teenager, in fact). I'm in my 50s now, so that gives you an idea of how long!!! Fill your space with everything that you love, I reckon!

[@renegrace1]

Recently I’ve stumbled on apartment tours and I love watching them! You’re home looks comfy, and cozy. Home sweet home! 🏠

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@latte1020]

I love gallery walls!!! So tired of hearing opinions of what’s in style and what’s not. If it makes you happy that’s all that matters!! Such a cute place

[@sarahlynnirving]

I completely agree! ❤️

[@mamabrooke]

Hi Sarah it’s Mama Brooke not trying to be your mama lol love that you thrift as my whole house is thrifted too . my channel is on Thrifting home décor gardening and just life . I’m trying to learn all this so much to learn ,as I’m not spring chicken . As for the closet not closing thrift a nice big wicker basket for your linens and stuff as it will look more pleasing to the eye . Just a suggestion. Enjoyed watching you ! Happy Thrifting hope you find lots of pretty princess treasures. As I call them.😊

[@sarahlynnirving]

That's a great suggestion about the basket! Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@geneva9990]

This apartment has loads of charm. You did a really great job with it.

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@jadesfieldsandforest2855]

Awesome prints on the wall I love the found objects at flee markets, charity shops and antiques stores..it makes it feel so warm and intriguing to walk around.

[@syriarahman7620]

I love every single corner of your apartment. The tapestry is mind blowing. 😍

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thank you so much! The tapestry is definitely one of my favorite finds ever 😍

[@teresitastidem2846]

Love what you've done with your home. Artsy and cozy.

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@tequilamariex]

I LOVE your apartment! I also love apartment/house tours that are lived in

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thank you so much!!

[@FraannNL]

Absolutely love your style, lovely apartment!

[@indiasimone6645]

Namaste 🙏🏿, lovely home, I love a maximalist home full of art and color, a home that's used and not staged and looks like no one uses anything. I have framed prints or tapestry covering utility boxes, also you could use curtains to cover the upper cubby that won't close. I also like the shower curtain. Thank you for sharing 💚.

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! ❤️

[@Notagain44]

Beautiful apartment! It's easy to see why you love it!

[@AfroCentricB]

Awwww im months late but your apartment looks soooooo good. I can tell you put a lot of thought into the place. I can tell it brings you joy! This is my type of style as well and thanks for some ideas!

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@lisanguera1492]

It’s got so much character ❤

[@carolyn8033]

Very cute and cozy.

[@imaginempress3408]

I'm a fan of the shower curtain.

[@sheilacirioni4676]

It's a very cute apartment. You & your kitties look happy.

[@lindabelardes9114]

Most of my stuff now is given to me and I love the antiques. I have a storage unit full of stuff that I need to get rid of stuff.

[@sandramalone3522]

For a small apt. you have a huge bedroom. Nice place.

[@sarahlynnirving]

That's definitely one of my favorite parts!

[@widowswatch6610]

I LOVE YOUR APARTMENT AND THE DECOR. ALSO THE WINDOWS ARE JUST WONDERFUL!!!!! I LOVE VISUAL ABUNDANCE AS LONG AS ITS NEAT……..AND YOURS IS NEAT…….. I just noticed can your neighbors see in your bedroom ??????

[@andreabenson2491]

So cute and cozy 👍👏💃

[@mr.kcfromthe8138]

Love seeing places I haven't been.

[@haenas]

I really enjoyed your tour! Love your place!

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thank you so much!

[@obimalope8154]

If you're able to paint, try painting the entryway same color or darker than the mechanic panel. It would be 🔥🔥🔥

[@justsayin397]

What a gorgeous apartment x

[@teresitastidem2846]

A rod above closet with a curtain. Can be one long one or two panels.

[@MutantMelo]

What a great place, your style is beautiful!

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thank you so much!

[@sherryharding5792]

Such a cozy apartment. Thanks for sharing.

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thank you for watching!

[@pamromanella]

Perfect!! Love your artwork.

[@sarahlynnirving]

Thank you so much!

[@pamromanella]

You are welcome. I love thrift/antique/consignment whatever folks are calling them. It's exciting to find what you are looking for or have that moment " what was some one thinking " lol it's mine now. ... Your art is placed perfectly, 400 Sq feet is just right, you have arranged it well.

[@paulac4071]

It's awesome I love all the windows especially 😍 ❤

[@jsmith5509]

Your apartment is very nice! I also have a pink/peach tile in my bathroom but it's trimmed with black. The pink bathroom tiles, toilets and sink are truly vintage and extremely hard to find.

[@sarahlynnirving]

Love the pink tiles so much!

[@aanaspot]

5:33 omg you have a picture of a castle that is in my country! It‘s called predjamski grad (castle in front of a cave) in Postojna, Slovenia

[@sarahlynnirving]

Yes!! My friend Olivia Reed @oliviareedphoto took that photo on a trip to Slovenia, so cool that you recognized it!

[@aanaspot]

@@sarahlynnirving of course, it‘s a pretty big attraction here 😁

[@kd2533]

[@12harrypotterfan34]

You did such a great job with decorating your space and finding really nice secondhand pieces! Would you mind sharing if there’s a specific realtor you used to find your apartment? I’m currently looking for a new place in Philly.

[@sarahlynnirving]

Message me on IG and I'll give you the info! @sarahlynnirving
