My home - Part Two. This is a sampling of my inspiration for my apartment. The blue couch was the first furniture item we bought when I moved to NYC. I am obsessed with it and try to make sure everything in my home complements it. My desire to have a tufted bed came while perusing design blogs during unemployment and I am equally as obsessed with it. I found one at PB that I wanted but it took 12-16 weeks to deliver. I’m impatient and I found one I loved even more on Inmod.com for 1/2 the price and 2 week delivery. SOLD.   I fell in love with the pendant chandelier at West Elm but did not have any ceiling lights in my apartment. My mom perused the internets and found this standing look alike lamp on Amazon. I wanted extra long curtains but they are rare and expensive ($150/panel X 6 - KILL ME). I found mine at JCPenney.com for $19.99/panel and they are great.  Painting also made a big difference and while I hated every minute of it, it was definitely worth the effort. My number one favorite thing though is the blinds. My dad came in October and helped me pick out and install them. To me, it makes the biggest difference in my apartment feeling like a home instead of a grimy NYC studio. They are $39.99/panel and worth every penny.  Huge props goes to my mom who secretly thinks she is an interior designer and sat with me for hours and hours helping me find all the perfect things.
