Tour This Minnesota Home Filled With Vintage Cartoon Art and Life-Size Snack Food

"I’m a designer and vintage dealer," Gladys says. "And I’m constantly hunting and looking to find things to buy, sell and collect." Originally from Singapore, the now-Minnesotan maximalist appreciates a non-stuffy home chock-full of fun decor, vintage signs, and lots and lots of chairs.

"My home is definitely a reflection of who I am," Gladys says. "I’m fun. I’m silly. [And] I can be very dramatic at times. [There's] nothing too serious in here. A lot of the decor is from my childhood and things that I love, things that I remember growing up. Everything has a memory with it."

Larger-than-life candy sculptures stand tall in Gladys' living room — and some of them are actually edible. "In my [ice cream cone], those M&M's are made of real candy," she says. "[It] really brings me a lot of joy because food objects are very colorful. And I love to eat, so they’re perfect to collect."

Spilled-candy artwork sits beside an oversized light bulb on the glass coffee table. Instead of confining her art to shelves, Gladys likes placing art and books on coffee tables and the floor because it feels more inviting.
