Ashley Huston, a chef and baker, turned her 730-square-foot rental apartment in West Philadelphia into a lively home and workspace for her growing bakery, DreamWorld Bakes. After two years in Tanzania, she sought a Victorian apartment that allowed her to establish roots. Although her apartment was a one-bedroom, she cleverly converted the large spaces into two studios to accommodate a roommate. Despite extensive renovations, she imbued her living area with warmth and creativity, providing a unique backdrop for her entrepreneurial journey.
"I had some prerequisites: an apartment in a Victorian building, a bay window, and a claw tub. It took me so many months to find a good place."
"Eventually, I decided to try it old school and I walked around the neighborhood I wanted to live in and took down numbers off 'For Rent' signs."
"[T]he living room and bedroom were both so big that I sold it as essentially two studio bedroom arrangements, which totally worked."
"When I moved back to Philly after living in Tanzania for two years, I knew I wanted to find something I could really make a home and put some roots down in."
