Taking some inspiration from these beautiful little galley kitchens. They’re a tough space to work with! I’m working on making mine just as sparkly and functional. Note: play up my black and white tile floors, get some statement artwork, display cookbooks, and add a chandelier if you can!

Ah, the rug: the foundation of any great (or poor) room design. An new area rug is just one of the many accents I’d really like to change up in the “living room” of my studio apartment. There are so many great designs out there though and I’m having trouble/so much fun picking just one style. I could go bright and bold or with a more muted pattern. Tell me, which one is your favorite?

Hello friends. Is it only Tuesday still? Just counting down the days until I’m on vacation for a week on Nantucket Island….
Anyway, I’ve been searching for a perfect bookcase/storage unit for my studio apartment for some time now. I’ve had the idea of what I’ve wanted for a while, but because of price and time and other (lame) factors, I just haven’t bought one yet. I need it mostly for storage, and because the shelves I have now are mismatched and from freshman year of college. Everything else in my apartment has grown up since I’ve graduated, so it’s time my shelving does too! I need a stylish place for all of my books, journals, magazines, champagne glasses, photos and other fun trickets. Plus all of these fabulous Glitter Guide “Style at Home” segments are making me antsy to do some extra decorating, just in case they show up at my door with a camera. :)
Of course, now that I’m about to leave for vacation I’m finally ready to commit to one…I’m almost positive! So until I can make the trip to the store, put it all together, and style it with all of my favorite things, let’s take a look at of some exceptionally inspiring bookshelves and collections…
Just a few of my favorite scenes from my apartment. with a new couch, new TV, Christmas gifts out and some treats from Made By Girl…I’m loving my little girly studio. What do you think?
Yesterday I blogged about my big apartment clean-up weekend, and some beautiful closets. While I’m no interior designer (I try!), I wanted to show just want one day of cleaning and organizing can do. Some of my favorite things are the closet rod I use to hang colorful bangles, frequently worn necklaces, and my Blair Waldorf headband collection; oh also the rainbow of color coded clothes.
A peak inside…
Trust me, this is the cleanest it will get. I will try to keep it this way, but that’s really not likely. Had to document…
