November leaves are falling and the air is crisp and unusaully cold in NYC. With that said, I'm showcasing Alvin Wayne's beautiful 18th century townhome in Brooklyn that he shares with his Partner. Alvin's 1,088 square foot home is immaculate and touched with midcentury charm. Check out my IGTV NYC Home tour series to see the live video tour @tanika_nyclifestyle.

Ginny's 17th century barn home sits on 7 acres and is tucked in the woods. She shares her 2,ooo square foot gem with her son Otis and husband Matt.

Fall season has arrived in New York and revamping every nook and cranny in our apartment was a priority. One of the most neglected areas in most homes is the refrigerator and I've re-worked the organization of ours with items from the The Container Store. I cook a few times a week and needed a better view of our most used groceries. Adding tray liners to each shelf and storage for poultry, fruit, dairy and vegetables revit...

It's safe to say most NYC apartments lack sufficient closet space for the average person. We live in a 958 square foot apartment and there are two small closets in our bedroom. The challenge for my bedroom closet make over was to find adequate and practical storage for my shoe collection. The Container Store offered stacks of clear shoe boxes, non-slip velvet hangers, and cedar drawer liners that fit perfectly on my shelves...

As summer is slowly coming to an end, we decided to revamp the look of our foyer. It is a small space with minimal lighting and appeal so it lacked any visual aesthetic or pop. We felt adding a patterned wall paper would give the entrance to our home new life. Partnering with Walls Need Love allowed us to pick the perfect design that fits our decor and lifestyle.

Summer finally made an appearance in NYC and I kicked it off with a home tour of James Kivior's pre-war apartment in the heart of Ridgewood, Queens that he shares with his cats Otis and Faisca. Walking through his apartment was jaw dropping as his home is well curated and filled with years of collected treasures.

Happy Spring! I'm reorganizing our tiny bathroom with help from the Container store. We have limited space there and needed to find practical storage solutions in our shower area for our shampoos, soaps, loofah sponges and lotions. I strongly believe if you have a clutter free home it allows you to focus more on your overall well being. I hope my Container store picks can help fix the troubled areas in your bathroom. Let's...
