TIME TESTED STYLE

Time tested style: Nothing feels as fresh to me as bold black and white stripes. This spring I can't wait to pair black and white with bursts of color in kelly green, yellow and fuschia.

THE BIG DECISION...

A friend wished me good luck on my "forced renovation" this morning. While laughing, I thought to myself it's completely true, given the busy holidays and business, I haven't made a lot of time to tackle projects in my apartment. The flood while hardly ideal, has certainly made me think of the possibilities in my living room and bathroom. (It's also made me highly caffeinated from working at Starbucks everyday...)

Last night, I made the decision to repaint my living room walls white. Those of you who have been reading this blog know I love color. The first thing I did was paint every wall in my apartment, just because I could. But there is something about a fresh white wall appeals to me. It's clean and gives a new perspective on things. Plus, given the eastern facing windows in my apt, I hope will make the living room seem brighter throughout the day.

Now the big decision is which direction I want to go for accessories.  A colorful mix of pink, orange and tan, or pure black and white. Here's my inspiration...

Patterns Everywhere!

So recovering from my 30th birthday celebration at Market Table and the Ace Hotel on Monday night, I spent a lot of time on the couch yesterday, laptop in hand. Trolling for images, I noticed that there were a lot of great bohemian/ tribal patterns emerging from mainstream companies like Wisteria, Pottery Barn and Anthropologie.

The first thing I found was this fabulous black and white settee from Wisteria. I absolutely love bold pattern and scalloped edge. Plus the graphic black and white could really fit in anywhere. If I had more space, this would be already be on it's way to my apartment...
