Apartment Interiors : Neutral Shag Rug

Jeff and I have officially moved into our new NYC apartment and while we still have some progress to be made on unpacking boxes, we have been discussing our vision for the interior design for some time now. Both of us really like neutral, clean colors with rustic accents and lots of texture. 

Currently I am on the hunt for an area rug to put in our living space underneath the ottoman and couch. 

Coffee Table Decorating

A nicely decorate and thought-out coffee table arrangement can change the entire look of a room, not to mention provide a welcome sense of zen. I love the look of gold, white and pink accents when decorating.

Whenever stopping by my local grocery store I love to pick up some fresh flowers to cheer up my tiny studio apartment. Lately I've been thinking about coffee table decorating and what key elements create a nice design layout. My favorite formula includes a nice tray, candles, fresh flowers in a beautiful vase and some gold knick-knacks, all placed on top of a chic coffee table.

Tres simple, non?

Internal Stripes

I've been dragging and saving various images of interiors on my computer for some time now. For awhile they hadn't been much more than a mindless hobby, but since I am actually moving to a new house soon (!!!) they seem relevant. Well, relevant if I was moving into a large, modern home in the Malibu hills with an unlimited decorating budget, but hey, semantics.

Going through my collected set of photos, I realized a theme; stripes used in home decor. Sounds strange I know, but the result is chic, modern with a quirky twist. I'm not sure I have the energy to tackle a whole wall, but picking up a striped rug can't be too difficult to accomplish.
