A Spring Time Wedding

I've been lucky to be tapped for the planning process of a wedding set for spring. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, as we are all constantly learning and growing when it comes to our passion. The entire process has been a great collaboration between bride and design enthusiast. Below are two preliminary boards I put together that served as inspiration for reception decor.

Can't wait to show you the final product come April!

Day of Love!

Not that we shouldn't be loving everyday but, Happy V-Day! How are you spending yours?

Final Decisions

Day trip to Philly and planning the decor for a dear friend's upcoming April wedding. Managed to fit in a little cafe con leche and finally decided on a color for my apartment living room. I'm putting aside my fears of gray being too dark of a shade for a small living room. But, lets face it -- it's the new color trend and we all must admit our unrequited love for it.

This!

Gems: Craigslist {Finds}

I came across a a few special vintage finds on Craigslist this morning and thought they deserved some blog love. 

Take a look at these gems below!

Not too in love with the color but definitely falling for the chipped, vintage detail of the legs.

I would love to put this in my kitchen as extra shelving for spices and bowls.

 

Vintage Grey wood coffee table. I've always been a huge fan of weathered objects and pieces.

Back to the City We Go

This month has been a whirlwind of activities, planning, plotting and conquering. Being in New Jersey for a few days made me realize the beauty of being a New Yorker and living in such a fruitful city. City  living, city love!

Old doorknobs, which I love; teal, earth and rustic brown colors. 

Sticking to the Statement: Etsy Finds

I stick to the statement. When it comes to outfitting a space, I tend to gravitate towards pieces that make noise but can co-exist with other objects harmoniously. Of course, I love to remain within the realm of natural woods and neutrals. So, whenever I find myself on Etsy, I like to check out products with this sort of feel.

This chair belongs to a beautiful, solid slab wood table. I thought this was so well-crafted and I'm in love with the wood finish.

I love small chairs like this, which is priced for an amazing $12.50. It grants the opportunity to work some magic and personalize with a new cushion or paint job. The ultimate money saver.
