You know that feeling when you move into your new apartment on campus or in a new city, and there is just nothing in there, nothing on the walls, no decorations? I don’t know about you, but this kind of makes me feel sad and who knows if I’ll ever actually get around to putting my touch on the place, because ya know we are busy and also broke college and post-grad kids after all.

Well my guest today, Julie Pochodylo, sees these empty walls as an opportunity to express herself. She prides herself on taking the time to decorate her room and create a positive space for herself to come home to no matter what kind of long day it was.

Julie has inspired me to take the time to turn my once dingy apartment into a space that is filled with trip momentos, positive quote canvas, and colors and pictures that make my heart happy. So I hope by hearing our conversation it sparks some inspiration for you too to get some positivity into your space.
