Welcomeš
A Tiny Apt. is a weekly newsletter about personal style, spaces, and, ultimately, navigating life and our homes through change and challengesābe they square footage or otherwise. Itās also a place to see small/unconventional, occasionally overlooked things differentlyāmore expansively, with more wonder. And, in the process, discovering a perspective about home and personal style thatās truly your own.
A little about meāMy name is Christene Barberich (Hi:), Iām a writer and I also
co-founded Refinery29 back in 2005, spending nearly two decades re-imagining womenās storytelling through a new kind of uninhibited lens. Iām also a LIFELONG (ie: obsessive) thrifter/collector/room re-arrangerš¬, so if youāre into that kind of thing, along with vintage quilts, Lucie Rie pottery, Old CĆ©line, vintage Levis with sparkly Zara house sandals, AND essays by Joan Didion, youāve come to the right placeš«.
Every week, Iāll be writing to you from my own Tiny Apartment in Brooklyn to talk about a mix of things, from reimagining shelves and cool corners, to an insiderās edit for shopping places like IKEA, to thrifting wonderful/weird gems, to deep-dives into things I can lose my mind overāreading nooks, old houses, and oddball (ie: MARVELOUS) outfits, includedš. If youāre not already a subscriber, hereās a quick rundown of how you can join usā¦xxCb
