Never dream alone. That’s my motto.
I have finally finalized a plan of how to decorate my room! I could not be more excited. The first picture is my inspiration. Since my boyfriend has finally come around to the idea of me painting the apartment bright electric blue [Carrie Bradshaw apartment makeover], I am designing the bedroom with a masculine feel. When you go to sleep, you want to feel cozy, warm, and in the arms of a man. SO, I am making my room feel like a man’s room.
With espresso colored velvet drapes covering the entire wall behind the bed, it will immediately feel warm [Let’s face it people. I live in Boston: the coolest place during winter]. With the help of Pottery Barn, I will use their frame risers to protrude oversized black and white photos behind the bed. Under the large [very high, which means little light] windows, I will place mirror the same size under it, so when the matching table lamps are on, the light will reflect the whole room. Brilliant!
That’s all I have for now. I’ll show ya when it’s done.
Xo,
Ash.
Gucci, my dear, you have a special place in my heart. And now in my home.
Ever since they introduced their Spring 2011 Collection with a generous helping of color, my mind has been sorting through color choices for the walls in my new apartment. I’m starting to think Gucci/Carrie Bradshaw apartment-makeover. Something in between. I’m dropping drab modern and spicing things up a bit [while my boyfriend spices things up in the kitchen; let’s face it, I just can’t cook and he does].
. Red+Purple combo [I’m truly obsessed with this color combo. You have NO idea]
. Eclectic eclectic eclectic [think Jonathan Adler]
. A photo wall with an extra large mat. Every designer has this. They show off who they know and who they love.
Enjoy my inspiration,
Ash.
