It should come as no surprise that Musemo Handahu is the type to take inspiration from her surroundings. The fashion enthusiast has been creating content since 2012 under the name Miss Lion Hunter, a nod to her last name in Tonga, and is known for her eclectic, bold and colourful style and that doesn't just apply to her wardrobe. Her decor journey started seven years ago. At the time, she was living in a cramped apartment, and it wasn't giving her the creative spark she needed. So, when she stumbled across a listing for this Halifax space-with its huge windows and waterfront location-she didn't hesitate to schedule a viewing.
"I absolutely needed that change," she explains. "I had gotten to the point where I wasn't feeling inspired by where I lived. As a creator, your home has to inspire you every day."
Now, Handahu's rental is not only a space where she can find inspiration and create compelling visuals for her blog and the brands she works with but also a welcoming retreat for her and her loved ones.
"I wanted this to be a place where I'd be proud to have my friends over and where they'd feel like they were right at home," she says.
