Rockin' Rochas

Ahhhh, to live the life of a supermodel. Well, really, just to live in the home of one. I'm loving Coco Rochas' NYC apartment.

The views. The vintage vibe. And the fabulous glamour. Did you catch the YSL "yove saved la rent" piggy bank?!

And we don't even get to see her closet. I can only imagine! Le sigh.

A Great Space

Now that things are getting back to normal after the wedding, I had to find another project to keep my creative juices flowing so next up...home renovation! At this point, I have no idea what I'm getting myself into, but I'm loving step 1: bank inspiration.

Like this rad Brooklyn apartment's kitchen and dinning room.


via from me to you

I abosultely adore the mismatched Ikea chairs - brilliant way to add interest and play off of the (stunning) hard wood floors, and in totally economical fashion. And I spy lots of handy Ikea shelves in the kitchen too. Brilliant and on budget? Love it.

Definitely filing these ideas away for later! Be sure you check out the rest of the apartment here.

Feelin' Beachy

It must be the residual effects of Mexico still lingering, but I'm finding myself suddenly attracted to the beachy feel of natural wood pieces in home decor.

Usually totally not my style, but I'm into the vaction-y feel the twisted and rugged pieces bring to a space. It's like bringing a little bit of your getaway into your home. 

I may just have to try it out myself, especially if I could find something like that beautiful farm table...

Oh and btw, have you entered this week's giveway?? There's still time!

More is More

Can you guess how big this NYC apartment is??

I never would have guessed 178 square feet! You've got to read more about the owner here. He got his current interior design job by showing pictures of his place. He's an inspiration to any aspiring designer. Or really anyone trying to make piles look damn good!!

TinekHome

I gushed about tinekhome a long, long time ago, but as I've been thinking about our wedding tabletop design they came to mind again. And for good reason because everything they do is simply stunning.

Don't even get me started about the home of their founder. I'll let you drool amongst yourselves.
