Hey There
Welcome to my blog!🎉 My name is Julia, but my friends call me Jully.😊 At the age of 16, I started getting into Social Media Marketing and in particular – Instagram. It became a big passion of mine and every day I woke up thinking about how to get better in the field. Alongside this, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and currently I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Advertising and Media Communications.🎓
After many years of perseverance and hard work, I managed to buy an apartment at the age of 22 thanks to the online businesses I have successfully developed. Having my own place was a big dream of mine that is now finally a reality and I am so happy about it!😁
The apartment needed to be renovated from the ground up and then furnished. Nevertheless, I didn’t want to hire the services of a professional interior designer, I wanted to bring the place to life myself. I have read a lot of material on the subject, experimented and I must have walked tens of kilometers going around different shops haha. But in the end, it was totally worth it because I learned a lot and I think the apartment turned out great! However, you might still be asking yourself why I started this blog, right? Read the next paragraph to get your answer⬇😉
From Apartment Life to Building a Home
After decorating my first apartment — a project I took on mostly by myself — I discovered how much I genuinely love creating spaces that feel personal and intentional.
My partner and I shared that apartment together, and it became our cozy little home where we learned what we liked, what worked, and what didn’t.
Now we’re taking the next big step: building our first house together.
This time, we’re planning everything side by side — combining our ideas, making big decisions, and dreaming up every room as a team.
It’s exciting, challenging, and incredibly meaningful.
Why We Chose to Build
- We wanted a home that feels 100% “us” — built for our lifestyle.
- Designing every room from scratch gave us total freedom.
- We were ready for more space, more light, and a place to grow into.
Planning & Preparation
- Selling the apartment helped us (a bit) fund this next chapter.
- We’ve been sketching layouts, comparing finishes, and making endless mood boards together.
- While I’ll still lead the design side (of course😄), my partner’s doing every big decision (especially when talking to builders and basically whole process)
Construction Begins!
- Seeing the foundation poured was one of those “this is real” moments.
- I’m sharing the process step-by-step here on the blog — from raw concrete to finished corners (hope we finish soon wow).
What You’ll See on the Blog
- Progress updates as our home takes shape
- Honest reflections on building a house together
- Joint DIY projects and behind-the-scenes decisions
- Budget tips, creative solutions, and home styling plans
My Blogging Goals
So why did I decide to start “Jully’s Place”? I always thought to myself that the whole idea of creating a site from scratch and gathering an audience to visit it regularly and read what you have to say is super cool. Therefore, I started this lifestyle blog at the beginning of June 2022 as an experiment to see if I would like the process or not. Well, I am completely hooked at this point!🤣
On “Jully’s place” you will find mainly content about home decor, college, and some other lifestyle topics. Moreover, I will show you the whole process of renovating the apartment I purchased and how I made it my new cozy home. This has been a tremendous experience for me that I will be happy to share with you.🤗
I will also write detailed articles on how my blog is developing over time to keep you updated on my progress. By making the whole process transparent to my readers I hope to inspire others to be brave and try this so exciting hobby called blogging.💕
