WelcomešŸ”‘

A Tiny Apt. is a weekly newsletter about personal style, spaces, and, ultimately, navigating life and our homes through change and challengesā€”be they square footage or otherwise. Itā€™s also a place to see small/unconventional, occasionally overlooked things differentlyā€”more expansively, with more wonder. And, in the process, discovering a perspective about home and personal style thatā€™s truly your own.

A little about meā€”My name is Christene Barberich (Hi:), Iā€™m a writer and I also
co-founded Refinery29 back in 2005, spending nearly two decades re-imagining womenā€™s storytelling through a new kind of uninhibited lens. Iā€™m also a LIFELONG (ie: obsessive) thrifter/collector/room re-arrangeršŸ˜¬, so if youā€™re 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, youā€™ve come to the right placešŸ’«.

Every week, Iā€™ll 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 insiderā€™s edit for shopping places like IKEA, to thrifting wonderful/weird gems, to deep-dives into things I can lose my mind overā€”reading nooks, old houses, and oddball (ie: MARVELOUS) outfits, includedšŸ˜Ž. If youā€™re not already a subscriber, hereā€™s a quick rundown of how you can join usā€¦xxCb
