An Apartment Pick-Me-Up

Last February, my roomies and I moved into a new, upgraded apartment. 5 months later our place is still looking a little unsettled/ impersonal. We’ve got the essentials: the big screen, the monochrome couch and arm chairs, a wood dinning table, blah, blah, blah. It’s all very “beige.” What we’re missing is the little touches of style- the art, the knickknacks, the humor, the color! I’ve perused a few of the Glam Network Publishers and spotted a couple lust worthy items for our place and crafty ideas to try myself. Here they are…

 NYLoft

I would love a sophisticated but eclectic look like this shot I found on Love Made Visible. In addition to this great find, Love Made Visable highlights tons of great design items from tabletops to stationary!

       kartell

Dwell always has amazingly creative and cool design ideas. Their site also features the hippest products, like these fun chairs, and where to get your hands on them.

   rug

Throwing down this yellow printed rug Oh Joy! featured would certainly take care of adding a burst of color. I love it!

               decals
Since my landlord doesn’t allow painting the walls, maybe decals could add some fun. Check out this 5.5. Designers one I spotted on Designer’s Block.

Clearly, I’ve got plenty of options and ideas to add a little life to our apartment.

 Stay classy,

Annie
