Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I am so happy that you're here.

Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions we have

about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships and self-confidence.

About our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to the absolute full.

Life is so much better and easier and that absolutely more fun when we navigate it together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started.

She teaches us how to create cozy, inviting spaces that feel like home no matter what season of life we're in

and she actually has a ton of experience doing this with rental houses, of all shapes and sizes and so she has so much to share with us today.

She also has a new book out called Welcome Home, a cozy minimalist guide to decorating and hosting all year round

and she has some awesome tips for seasonal decorating that you guys are just going to love.

In today's episode we talk about how to make our rental space or apartment feel homey and more like us.

We talk about how to make a small living space more functional and cozy.
