Kreative Kitchen

I love our little kitchen on 83rd St, but it definitly needs a little love... or color!!  Me and Nick have the kitchen cart that is featured in the two pictures below.  First off I love color.  I feel like it really brightens up spaces and adds personality.  We have white walls and white cabinets, its very...white.  Adding color to the background would make the cabinets pop!!  I also enjoy how the first picture features different sized shelves.  Since we don't have much storage space, I think it would be amazing to get some shelving above our cart.

Green is so rich and fairly consistent through our space.  It is a restful color and symbolizes life and nature.  I feel it would really enhance our space.

This yellow color is bright and fun.  Our Bridge Art features a yellow panel and the two would correspond nicely.

The way the esspresso bookcase contrasts against the yellow is stunning, although our furniture is black so that wouldn't work :)

So in conclusion, we need to agree on a paint color, I vote for green! (red or yellow will work too).  And put shelves above the cart... AND a spice rack.

when i really love a pair of shoes, and i mean REALLY love them, i beat the shit out of them.  thats how you know i am in love.  i REALLY love my UGG Camille boots... but i think this is the last winter i can wear them so i am looking for a replacement.  i found these Lucky brand ones from Victorias Secret, maybe i should just take the UGG ones to the shoe maker...

Our Zen Bedroom

A bedroom should be calming, functional, romantic, clean.  Nick had this bed spread when we moved in and I added a few peices to spruce up the place to create my zen bedroom.  The long pillow has leaf like vines and is from homegoods.  The abstract painting above, also from homegood gives a calm vibe. I defnitly need a few more things in order to create my ideal bedroom... also window panels would be nice!!!

Our bedroom :)

Being the music lovers we are I feel this guitar art would fit perfectly!

I was really inspired by this room, the symmetry and the 4 sconces on the wall. 

Nick loves candles and it makes for great art as well.

I fancy this room's paint job, as well as the paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling.

I love these paper lanterns as well and how they have a more chic sophisticated look.

Lastly, this chandelier adds a touch of glamour to such a zen bedroom.  Kind of reminds me of beautiful stones in a stream.  I'd really love to put this up in our apartment since we have 15 foot ceilings!

An Older, More Mature Me.

I am getting so darn old (25) that I am beginning pondering my pad... should it reflect my new found maturity?  Here is a piece I found that can update my place:

This chair from UO would look great in a pair with a little table inbetween.

Ok... this pouf doesn't scream maturity, but I guess neither do I.  Also from UO, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this.  Perfect for stuffing in a corner and breaking out when a group of people are over.  Comfy and fun... that's my style!

I love this C&B wine cabinet because its multi functional and attractive.  This is something I'd consider putting on that blank wall in my living room.  It has lots of storage and doesn't have to serve as a wine bar only... i'd consider putting some books ontop and it can work as a desk as well.

This is the wall I'm talking about (between the door to the kitchen and the window). 

I guess it would look like this... but good :)

This is a pic I found on Apartment Therapy which shows a bar in a living room.  I like how she put the shelf on top, although I'd love to put this mirror:

This is from 2Modern and can feature tea lights all on the bottom.  Nick loves candles, we always have them lit at home and I this would be a great addition over the wine cabinet.

A tall leaning desk is also a good idea for our small space.  Right now we don't have any desk or office space.  Nick is a student and this could be helpful for him while studing or writing a paper (I'm sure doing it in front of the TV isn't the best idea babe ;-)

I hope to make some of this happen in 2010!
