Room Study
Inspired by my own apartment… a little room study. I’ve recently felt the urge to make a few updates around my home after 2.5 years here. I recently switched out my coffee table for a beautiful vintage travertine find and have a new sofa coming in June! Amazing what a fresh piece of furniture can do for a space.
My living room is, of course, the area I spend most of my time in. I adore it. I’ve carefully selected each piece homed there, from family antiques passed down to me, to amazing vintage finds, to new pieces that mixed in seamlessly. I’m often asked how I get my look—it’s honestly just a lot of neutrals, timeless, simple pieces that can work with anything, and little natural curiosities and textures. I love to keep this space feeling calm, fresh, and effortless. And since it has been a good year since I pulled one of these posts together, felt like a good time to share one inspired by my new sofa and coffee table! I’ve been bookmarking travertine coffee tables for monthsss, and was absolutely shocked when I saw someone selling one in DC for $300 (when they normally go for over $1,500). So happy I got my hands on one and how it’s given a whole new vibe to my space. On a similar note, I’ve been wanting a new sofa ever since I moved here and realized how much my style had changed. Out with the mid-century look and in with something clean and classic.

A few furnishings on my mind for a well-curated space.
It’s that time of year where I feel the itch to rearrange and change things up a bit at home. I’ve been so inspired by texture and different materials lately. I can’t help but dream about travertine! I adore these block side tables and the idea of mixing with classic neutral fabrics and aged wood pieces for a cozy space sprinkled with some modern touches. With all the thinking I’ve been doing around updating little corners of the apartment, a new Roomy Study was in order…inspired by pieces I’ve been eyeing and perhaps influenced by a favorite DC antique shop, Cote Jardin.

Whelp, a lot has happened since I posted a couple weeks ago and something about pulling together blog posts and sharing my carefree days in Florida on Instagram didn’t seem right. So, I kept keeping to myself and silently trying to focus on my mental health while I was enjoying retirement land and beach reads! But I’m back home in DC and was welcomed to beautiful 70-degree weather. Walking back into my apartment felt so good and I can’t wait to sleep in my own bed again. I am completely ready for spring and this arrival just sealed my excitement for fresh blooms, warmer days, easy dresses, and little apartment refreshes here and there. I already got up to some rearranging when I got home this weekend. Really feeling all the light and airy vibes right now and couldn’t help but pull together a new room study. Hope you all have a great week!
