Well! It’s been a busy few weeks. We’ve been painting, decorating and trying to make our new apartment feel homey (as well as obsessing over our new kittens, Bug and Dagmar). The cowhide rug has been laid, the walls are no longer pukey — who likes mauve and mustard?! — and we’re enjoying the fruits of our labors. We’ve got a lot of boxes to go through still, as well as a hell of a lot of books to organize, but it’s coming along nicely. When a kitten makes biscuits in your hair and falls asleep on your chest, life is pretty good. No complaints, my friends.

oh, how wonderful! love the plants, love the paint, the books, and most of all, the kittehs! can’t wait to see how the rest of the place turns out. best of luck organizing the books – it’s been a chore for JB and myself, as well. (Good thing he started buildin’ book cases! hint hint NYJB.
)
It looks wonderful! I love the color you painted your walls.
What a lovely eclectic blend of goodies!! Love the plants, and antlers, but especially love the basket of curled up kittens!!!! Who wouldn’t?!!
yay alison! love kitties in a basket.
Looks wonderful! Your style is always so impeccable!
IT LOOKS SO GREAT!!! And those kitties…oh my.
Awesome! Your kitties are so cute.
i can’t believe your cats will sleep like that – mine would never….
and welcome home
I love your plants so much! I have the worst time keeping jade alive, but I always come back for more. I love plants that have a dual purpose – money superstitions, air purifying.
your space looks lovely – congrats on getting it set up so fast!
Love it! The wall color and putting the antlers in the tin basket is genius. Congrats on the new pad!
Love the plants! And the cats! Looks like your new place has tons of character!
wow ADORABLE kittens! Also, totally jealous of your living room. My living room, is unfortunately mustard colored, as my roommate decorated the whole house before I moved in…
Reading (scrolling) along, thinking, hey, this is a lovely house tour, full of the sorts of decisions that require a stellar eye, instead of tons of money. I’m so sick of house tours that just look rich, rather than awesome. I’d rather be awesome than rich. And, lo, it’s your home. Surprise! I have a crush on you from across the country.
You are so sweet! Being awesome rather than rich is my new tagline, by the way. Everything we have is used/vintage/Craigslist/eBay or from Etsy, pretty much. That’s the way to go!
The new place looks amazing! Great work on decorating and homey-ifying so far. Keep the photos coming, please – I love to see all your goodies out and about.
