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.
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!

Happy Monday! I’m back! And it’s November. How did that happen? Let’s just say…work really crept in the past couple of weeks and my blogging plans did not go as expected. One blog post was not what I had in mind for you all. But my extra project is over and so I’ve settled back into my usual routine and have my evenings free to write and create and have fun again. And I’m very happy about it! I feel like it’s finally feeling like autumn with the colors changing and colder days, and honestly, I’m all for it. I love the cozy feelings of the season and am preparing to hibernate for the next several months and post more and more. Anyways, I’ve been bookmarking several interior pieces, like this gorgeous cabinet, and wanted to create something with it.
