A few weeks ago I got the coffee table I always dreamed of, wood, rustic and with two levels. I searched quite a bit until I found my one true coffee table lover and it was no other than Amazon. It’s a beautiful piece of sturdy wood and has a great rustic touch bringing the room together, which is my ideal home look. As much as I would love to…
Ever since I started watching HGTV two years ago I became obsessed with wanting to renovate everything in my home– my NYC apartment that I don’t own and they actually frown down upon on any renovations, but yet I still watch and day dream on my dream house. I became obsessed with shows like The Property Brothers, Love It or List It and of course, Fixer Upper. I’ve been wanting…
Continuing on with bringing the farmhouse to a New York City apartment here is yet another fabulous post. Since I can’t go all out and refurnish my whole home into the country feel, I’m going room to room with transforming my home. First up was my kitchen– and it was slowly getting there. Industrial Floating Shelves Last month I posted up my Amazon Farmhouse Haul with all my new purchases…
Amazon Farmhouse Unboxing Purchases It’s no secret that I’m in love with, obsessed with and dream of living in a country farmhouse style of home. I always grew up loving country style homes– a huge two story home with a creepy attic and a wrap around porch to sit out on rainy days. However, I was never the kind of girl who cared about what the inside of my dream…
*I partnered up with Behr paint for repainting my dresser* My first DIY– yes, I finally did it! I am definitely not the kind of girl who goes on Pinterest for hours on end and adds things to boards of ideas I want to tackle one day– okay, correction I am that girl, but I never really do much after it’s gone to one of my 68 boards. This time,…
Ideas for a Kids Bedroom When Living in a Small Place I figured I’d give a quick tour of the kids bedroom since I’ve always been asked how I can possibly fit two kids in a tiny New York City apartment. When you decorate a home it takes time– at least for us regular folks on a budget to complete project around your home. There’s not one room in our…
It’s almost a dream come true– well since we moved into this two bedroom apartment. I never cared much for decor or keeping things looking crisp as if it came from a magazine page or a pinterest pin. That was until my clothing rack fell apart, not once, not twice, more like four times and I struggled to pin them back up. Then I had clothes laying all over my…
Green Plants in Home Past few months I’ve been growing something in me– an obsession– an obsession I’m sure many have come to realize as well. It all started on Pinterest when I ran into a photo of green plants everywhere in the home– I swear it looked like a botanical garden. It was from that moment my searches on Pinterest shifted gears to making my home into a secret…
Spring cleaning can’t come fast enough with Nate Berkus’ new home decor collection. Two weeks I gave a sneak peak on Nate Berkus’ nursery collection which you saw was gorgeous to brighten any nursery, but Nate Berkus also came out with his Spring collection. The Spring collection that boasts hints of rattan, metallic embellishments and painted ceramics that easily transition from indoor to outdoor styling. Nate’s collection has a good…
Oh Target, you’ve done it again! Whenever we make our bi-weekly trips to Target, because every week would be need for an intervention, we always stock up our cart with things we came for and unexpected things. Besides being a huge fan of their home decor department particularly with designs from Threshold, Safaveih and Nate Berkus my next go-to area is the children’s department. If only we could get home…
When you’re home you want to feel at home– cozy and relaxed. That wasn’t the case for me. My two-bedroom Queens apartment still has a ways to go, but my first priority was to re-do the living room. When we moved in we just didn’t care about making it homey because living here isn’t going to be permanent, but then one year goes to two and you know the rest.…
