Inspiration

Happy Halloween! I wanted to post some pics of my ongoing decoration projects in the new apartment, and also of some of my inspiration. I'm sort of going for a classic-modern combination, with some gypsy/eclectic and artistic elements thrown in. And a pile of books. Each room is different, I'm having so much fun working on them all.

Above is my festive entry-way decor. Note the martini glass filled with candy corn. The kids in my building are going to trick-or-treat to the different apartments tonight.

This mirror is in the living room. The mosaic is amazing, such a modern touch.

These chairs were so out-dated, mom and I decided to re-upholster them with this amazing old-fashioned looking fabric. The graphic style and French-countryside feel is perfect.


I really wanted bold geometric tribal rugs to give a sense of contrast to the antique-y feel of the floor and furniture. This one's in the living room.

Vermont apples on the table in the entry way. I love this retro-kitsch bowl, but my parents don't, so now it's mine!

I love my bedroom, it is now my favorite room in the apartment.

My fab shower curtain.

Inspiration shot of daisy on our rug at home. She's so chic.

Tea and art history reading, the two constants in my life right now.


Beautiful Vermont in Fall. New York is just starting to get some color.

More soon!

Hello Fall



I am so happy to be in New York, settling into the new place (pictures to come) and new neighborhood and new school and NEWNEWNEW that's the name of the game this Fall.

With the incredible amount of reading and *new* information I'm absorbing these days, I can get a little frazzled. When that happens, I just try to channel some of my moments of hippy-ing out in VT, and these great photos mom and I took one evening... so artsy.
