Our next guest for our "At Home With" series is Danni Hong. Danni is here to share her gorgeous living space with us! "For a long time, our home and space was filled with our furniture from college and just a lot of junk. After a while we were so tired of the way we were living, we decided to get rid of everything and fill it with items that really matched our aesthetic and style—items that were more unique and special. We shop at local flea markets, and that's how we came to acquire pretty much everything in our home! The more we bought the more we realized we liked the "industrial" look. We ended up with a lot of metal and wire pieces. We love our place and coming home to space that really matches who we are." "My favorite finds are some bowls straight from my Grandfather's village. We were able to take a family trip to China a few years ago and visit the house my grandfather grew up in. It was abandoned and there were some dishes still there. So we split them up, and each of us got some. Definitely one of the most special items we have in our place!" "We have lived here for about 7 years. As I mentioned above, our home was just filled with a lot of furniture and things from our days in college. One of our friends who would hang out with us a lot in college came over recently. He hadn't been over in years but when he walked in he said he felt like he walked through a time machine and was transported back in time. I forgot he hadn't seen our home for a while and all the new decor was totally different than what he remembered before. So I guess our space has evolved quite a bit since then ;)" "I don't know if it's super unusual, but one year we went to Portland for my birthday. And we came across this auction. They were auctioning this 'bear ass bank' which had a bear on one end and a donkey on the other. I thought it was so funny! It was a fun memory to create, going to the auction, actually bidding & winning 😉 It was our first auction we had ever been to." "The space gets used for eating and relaxing. Sometimes it gets used for crafting. During craft show season, all my stuff takes over, and it's filled with boxes, suitcases, and product—it looks like a crafty hurricane went through. It doesn't always stay as clean as it looks in the photos, but we enjoy the space when we're not busy working!"Thank you for sharing this wonderful space with us, Danni! You can find more of Danni over at her blog Oh, Hello Friend. xo.

Very inspiring images, It looks so cosy! 🙂
i love this living space! so pretty and unique. the industrial style is just perfect for dark wood and light walls. love the little splashes of color, too!
Love all these pictures! We have been realizing recently that we’re both really into that kind of vintage, industrial style! It’s fun agreeing on things!
I love Danni’s blog, her style is amazing and her home is so unique and beautiful!
I really love this home. I also really like the day of starting over. I’m not really there with my living space, but man do i wish I could do it with my wardrobe. I love her shoes, and the bag hanging on the wall, and the rug, and the bank, and and and…so good.
Wow ok this is literally like my dream home! I’ve always called my decorating style “antique minimalist.” LOVE

I love this space. My house seems so cluttered right now. I have so many projects going on right now. The pictures just make me want to go organize things.

That bank cracks me up. I would bid on that for sure. I love getting things for my home that remind me of the trips I’ve taken.

what beautiful purple clogs (and the rest of the house too 🙂 ), can I ask where they are from??
Such a beautiful and inspiring home:) I wish I lived there:)
love that her home is a mix of different textures, colours and styles!
I love that map in the back ground!
When I used to teach, I would go through old schools when they were getting rid of stuff, and buy (or take since they were given to my by janitors) old maps that I would use in the classroom. These maps would be put up at different times during the curriculum so the students had a visual of what the world looked like at that particular point in history. I have a map of Africa dated around WWI when it was mostly a European colony. I also have a map that was cira the 1980’s with East and West Germany and the USSR. What Danni did with the map in her space has given me a giant dose of inspiration on what to do with those maps now that I’m not teaching anymore.
Great as always!

I love this style. It’s so simple yet personal and cozy:)
I love this space! So perfect! 🙂
Such a great space and collection of trinkets and findings – they all seem to tell a story if there own and I love rooms that depict a persons journey.
Thanks for sharing

I don’t always like the industrial look, but I like their space!
You know when you see a place and you can practically picture the personality type & character of its dweller? I totally get that with this home. It’s so unique!
I love the beautiful photography and the space is very open and unique. Love it!

what a cool, industrial looking space. its inspiring me to live with less clutter and more wire baskets 😉 <3
Sooo awesome to see someone I “know” haha I LOVE oh hello friend! Danni is so great. I love the look and feel of her home.
wow! i think this is my favorite at home with so far! so many quirky pieces of furniture love it <3
I love the globe collection! I’ve recently started a globe collection of my own 🙂
I love those bowls!! It’s lovely to have things from one’s ancestors that are both beautiful and practical.
Danni has such a beautiful home! I so love the aesthetic of her home and how well it translates to her shop!
Such a cool apartment, I’m always intrigued to see the homes you feature, they’re always so inspirational.

would love to know the paint color 🙂 such a great space!
Love the simplicity of everything, yet all the pops of color and special items that really pull it all together. Can’t wait until I’m out of college and can make my own place special like this!
I love love love that table! I’m in the same boat… I moved in with my partner, and he has his started furniture from when he first left home… Cheap crappy stuff he got from family. Since we’re building a place, we’re keeping the only the basics until we find the perfect pieces to replace them, and slowly changing things out to be much more our style.
stunning home! swoon! and can we talk about those purple shoes?! double swoon!
Those Shoes!!! Gorgeous! Where are they from?? Anyone know?
Mooie foto’s! Echt heel leuk. Vooral die kleden en blauwe bakjes.
I’m confused…. I follow Dani’s blog and her and Nick just bought a house but this blog post says they’ve lived here for 7 years. Is this their old place?
I love the set up! Put together but not fussy; fun and patterned without seeming cluttered.
I love those purple shoes! And the industrial style.
What a fun peek into your home, Danni!
like the house space,beautiful and lovely.
amazing house, so cool and pretty.
{i love you, purple shoes…}
I love the rustic feel of this place! The design especially suits simple renters who desire exactly this kind of theme for their home. Great job! How about adding more wall art to those bare white walls though?
that space is gorgeous
