Apartment Inspiration: Part 1

 So I have taken on a very exciting project- I have one week to design and decorate a one bedroom apartment for a personal friend. I have been given carte blanche to do as I please because she has no time and absolutely no furniture at all.  I have one week to complete everything and my budget is $4,000. At first, I was super excited about this opportunity..I thought it would be easy to do and I could complete everything in a day or so. Well, not so! It takes at least 5 to 7 business days for furniture to arrive, and there will be alot of assembly involved.

My friend has requested very light colors throughout- neutrals like beige, taupe, and light gray with hints of color in it. The apartment is in a high-rise building and has an incredible view of the pool, so we are thinking of using turquoise as an accent color. Here are some photos I'm using for living room inspiration....Stay tuned for more!

I love the soft use of colors in this room, it is very subtle, inviting and feminine.


I adore this rug and the gold end table...what a great way to add some metallic glamour to the space.

I love the look of  this white shaggy rug and the stools in this room.

 This velvet couch is comfortable and eye-pleasing at the same time. I also adore the zebra rug and the white lacquer tray.

This tufted couch is AMAZING! I would love to replicate this look and use turquoise instead of pink as an accent color.

The coat-over-shoulder look. We love the way these coats drape over the shoulders in such a relaxed, nonchalant manner.  This is also a great way to create a slimmer silhouette, and let's be honest we all love looking slim!

Hermes Home

 What we love about Hermes is their ability to stay so exclusive yet so commercial at the same time. You may hear about it everywhere and see it in every couture publication, but it still feels so enchantingly special and exclusive. Recently, I have become so crazy about their home collection of mugs, wallpaper, fabrics, blankets, and pillows. I think one touch is just enough. Check it out!











In love with this exotic wallpaper!


This wallpaper is so special...
