bathroom humor

so, i realize all .2 of you who still read this blog are probably bored of seeing pictures of me in my sweaty running clothes or the boring stuff i ate. so i'll provide you some images of something decidedly more interesting...my bathroom. as you know, i moved about a month ago. t and i finally picked up hooks for our towels, which were the finishing touch to my neon green/gray striped themed bathroom. now, keep in mind that my instagram tricks make everything look cooler.

il mio apartomento

here are a few other snippets that i just uploaded from my cam of our apartment. again, please excuse cat hair and wrinkles..as i have no idea to get rid of either them. xx

bathroom makeover

well, so this isn't quite a makeover as it a spruce up, but i thought i'd share. i originally saw this gray and white shower curtain in west elm a few weeks ago, and had to have it..obvi..it's striped. it was sold out in the store and backordered online. but it finally came today! i also got a few other things to brighten things up in what used to be a colorless bathroom. which is SO not my style. please excuse the uber wrinkly shower curtain. i clearly was so excited about it i immediately hung it up. so is life. xoxo

rue magazine

so i'm sure you've heard about rue magazine..started by anne sage (of city sage fame) and crystal gentilello. just wanted to pass along my excitement to all of you in case you hadn't seen it on other blogs. rue is an online magazine devoted to the most gorgeous interiors, filled with all of my favorite things. bright color, bold fabrics and unexpected accessories. their first issue just recently launched here and i suggest you check it out. here are some beautiful interiors from the first issue. 

                                  

arianna belle

i was originally directed to arianna belle's website because of this incredibly adorable photo that i couldn't resist. 

i was pleasantly surprised when i found that arianna belle has the most fantastic collection of interior decoration photos. she also has her own interior design business, and clearly she has great taste judging by what was on display on her website. bright colors, bold fabrics, fresh flowers and great light are a few of my favorite design elements, and they are highlighted in all of the images i found on her website. here are a few of my favorites. 

subway tile

i am a big fan of subway tiles. they are rare to find in actual subways anymore (in new york any way) but they are popping up other places left and right. i always thought they'd look so clean and simple in a bathroom, but i just stumbled upon a beautiful kitchen with subway tile, which i  wouldn't have thought of myself. it makes a great backsplash and i imagine it's probably much less expensive than one of those elaborately tiled backsplashes. here are some of my favorite examples. 

sarah richardson

t & i happen to spend a lot of time watching hgtv. on saturday night. yes, i know. we're incredibly cool and with it and hip. anyywaaaaaay. we've recently discovered the show "sarah's house" where designer sarah richardson buys a house that needs serious "reno" (as she puts it) and she goes through room by room, episode by episode and guts everything. it's kind awesome. particularly because i think sarah has great taste. i've been always been fascinated with interior design and i think it would be such an amazing project to take on something like that. particularly if hgtv is paying for it. oh well, a girl can dream. 

decorology (ooh ooh)

blog of the moment: decorology. a compilation of terrifically eclectic bedrooms, baths and living rooms. lots of white of course but tons of varying textures (like rustic wood and subway tiles) surprising color combos and oodles of accessories. check out this fantastic blog ASAP.  

craig's list chic

so..i've been perusing craig's list quite a bit in recent weeks looking for stuff for the new apartment. this weekend, we finally had some success!  t and i spent saturday and sunday gallavanting around manhattan picking up things we had found on craigs list. the best find were definitely awesome lamps that were probably oringally uber expensive but that we got for 50 bucks! and we got to see the owner's unbelievable apartment down in battery park. we also picked up matching nightstansds from two different owners. to make them look less ikea and more original, we bought knobs from anthropologie. also next weekend, we will pick up a headboard for forty bucks! weee so cheap! yay craig's list! here are the items.

i love the pop of color this headboard adds to this otherwise neutral room. can't say i love the shape of the headboard, but the pattern is absolutely gorgeous.
