As many of you already know, I’ve purchased my first home! This milestone has been a long time coming, and while I’ve been sitting with the news for a while, the excitement still rushes through me like waves. Some days, it feels like I’m floating– other days, I remind myself to breathe. It’s a new build, so the timeline has shifted a couple of times (BREATHE, CATERINA, BREATHE), but I’m set to move in a few months from now.

The process of preparing for my move has been both exhilarating and humbling. I find myself reflecting on everything that has brought me to this point– the experiences, the people, and the choices that shaped my journey. Owning my own space means more than just having a place to live; it represents a new phase of independence, growth, and the ability to create a sanctuary that reflects who I am.

And of course, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the generous and unwavering support of my devoted boyfriends. Your encouragement, your kindness, and your gifts– big and small– have made this dream possible. I cherish you all for the role you play in my life.

Help Me Make This House a Home

As I begin to furnish and style my space, I’m curating pieces that reflect warmth, elegance, and timeless beauty. If any of my thoughtful suitors would like to contribute, gift cards to Zara Home, Linen Chest, CB2, Rove Concepts, and West Elm would be deeply appreciated. I also have a wishlist with specific pieces that will help turn my house into a home.

Your generosity never goes unnoticed, and I can’t wait to share glimpses of my new space with you all. Thank you for being part of this journey with me– it wouldn’t be the same without you.

With love and gratitude,

Caterina
