my name is gabriella, i'm an artist, and photographer and i'm a single mom. we moved into this affordable housing where i can do my art in my studio and have a little bit more space for my two kids. the biggest struggle is that me and luna would share the bedroom. finding ideas to accommodate the two of us has been the biggest struggle it's really not inviting.
i would like to have it be more of a sanctuary for us. my mom works really hard and she never really gets a chance to relax and she deserves a place where she can do that. it's going to be a learning experience, definitely. it's just beyond what i imagined could be done with four walls. this feels like everything has a place. it's a happy place. it's my sanctuary.
i believe that home is one of the most important places for a family. i want them to grow up and then look back on this experience and the memories that we are building in the space and to be able to have a place where we all can share and feel comfortable in and enjoy it. it's a dream come true. so we were very grateful that this is happening.
