The small stuff is the best stuff🔑
Welcome to A Tiny Apt., a weekly newsletter about space, style, and discovering the things we love with efficiency and real intention.
Every week I write to our community here from my own 750ish-square-foot apartment in Brooklyn Heights about the stuff that moves me—ie: finding our creative center, turning my bedroom into a refuge, a ferocious edit for seasonal dressing, my latest spin through IKEA, as well as (alwayssss) thrifting the coolest, most wonderful/weird gems I can’t wait to study up on + share w/you.

A little about me—I’m Christene Barberich, resident writer/design-book hoarder/compulsive shelf re-arranger/vintage Prada collector…and a mom, too. (In a previous life, I co-founded + was the longtime editor of Refinery29, where I spent most of my 30s/40s reframing women’s storytelling in a digital world.) Beyond creating ATA, I advise brands on their voice/content/purpose (sometimes all three △) and share my secondhand street finds on IG as well as ALL the collectible pieces I’m coveting on A Tiny Shop.
I’m really glad you found us—WELCOME…xxCb
