I am so happy many of you are as interested as I am in not only fashion design but interior design as well! Because now I can share my second biggest obsession with you!
In my last video I gave you a small peek into my living room and though it isn't anywhere near finished, I still thought I would share some of my notable finds along the way.
...
I have an extra large coffee table I use for a workspace, dining table, desk and coffee table.
My apartment is a "Jr. one bedroom", meaning its lacking a dining area and therefore I decided on a large multifunctional coffee table.
I displayed some pretty things that are also functional.
Black lacquer Chinese style box: Keeps finished jewelry orders ready to be packaged and shipped. Jonathan Adler's adorable elephant christmas ornament sits atop...(which i will be leaving out year round)... Thank you mommy!
Bottega Louie tart box: Holds note pads, pens and other small items I use regularly.
Light blue retro ash tray: Found at a flea market for a few dollars. (I don't smoke but it's a pretty piece). Designer matches and pink sea urchin shells from The Royal Hawaiian hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii inside.
Long silver pinged tray: Purchased from Walmart. Holds Trina Turk coasters and a pretty note pad.
MacBook Pro: One of my most beloved and trusty pieces. Ever.
My new white sheepskin rug.
I found this suppppppper fluffy and lush rug at Marshalls for around $25. I've seen similar ones at Ikea but this one is much better quality.
This weekend I went to various garage and estate sales with my mom.
I found these little gems:
A set of 5 wicker accented juice glasses from the 1970's for $5.
A set of 8 mini glass lunch/ snack plates with matching tea cups for $10.
A Tiffany blue and gold dessert tray that will be used to store and display jewelry.
*I also found two barstools for $5 each which I am going to be spray painting silver...Photos to come!
I showed you my little table find from a thrift store in my last video. I decided to make its home as a side table next to my couch, $3.
I love it!

ReplyDeleteI adore your style. <3 I'll be getting my own apartment soon, and I can tell you now... I'm so inspired by your recent posts - I cannot wait to decorate it.
