MY HOME SWEET HOME!

Hopefully most of you had a chance to check out the latest Rue this weekend and see my place that I've been talking about forever. The apartment is finished (well, as finished as a designer's space ever is), and I'm so very happy to finally be enjoying it! Yes there will still be plenty of little updates here and there, but for now .... here she is!

Many of you have been asking for resources, and I'm happy to say that all of them are in the magazine - when you click on an item, if there is a source for it it will take you right there! But, to thank the many sponsors and stores that I had in helping to put this house together, I'm listing them all at the bottom of this post!

The little bar in my bookshelves might be one of my favorite details. As much as I love designing, my favorite part of any home is styling it all. It's my greatest strength and passion. Those bookshelves took hours to put together! 

A little DIY - the gold gilding around the door frames for the closets in the hallway. There are literally four doors in this small area - two are closets, one goes to the bedroom one to the bathroom and one is the front door. We painted the closets to help make things a little more intuitional.
And then there's the bedroom. My beautiful little oasis...

When it's actually clean, it's my favorite room in the house. It's soothing and serene... and my bed is very hard to get out of in the morning!

    Love that half circle table at the end of your couch. Where did you get it?

    ReplyDelete
  18. @anons - the duvet is from west elm and i don't believe it's available any more! the half circle table i purchased on a one king's lane sale.

    @tiffany - the walls are actually the color that they were when i moved in! i loved it so much i kept it! i can try and find out the color for you!

    thank you all for your sweet comments so far!!

  21. Your pad looks fantastic! So many great details, I love the gold trim on your doors, that fab ceiling lamp in your bedroom, the cool framed mask (I pinned that one) and so much more. You gotta post a close up of those bookshelves so we can see your hours of work. btw, that pink jar is pretty too. Ok, I could go on and on, but I will stop. Your place looks great.

    I love your bed!!!!!!! I adore black and white decor (so underrated) and padded headboards. I did not notice the lighting fixture at first, but the more I look at it, the more I love how big an impact it can have on the entire room. My husband and I are currently redoing our bedroom. I want a white, gray and black monochromatic room, but he is not the biggest fan. (but I already bought the white sheets and matching duvet from http://www.thomasleeltd.com/sheets.cfm hehehehe)

    Now I am just searching for my dream black and white striped fabric headboard!
