I have always had a love for interior design. In fact, I even considered taking it up as a career, but since I have a job that I’m happy in I figure I can keep it up on the side and have the best of both worlds. First stop: my apartment!
I live in a one bedroom, art deco, three storey walk-up. It is fully equipped with hardwood floors, beautiful moldings, cute radiators and all the charms that were high on my wish list. It wasn’t hard to make it my own, even the wall colours were already perfect.
I love anything and everything vintage so my apartment is full of it. Most came from my Nana’s house, some from my mom, and several solid finds in some of my favourite vintage shops and flea markets. With a pastel colour scheme, lots of florals and (of course) touches of damask, it is a palace fit for me and I couldn’t be happier!
My most recent purchase was a gorgeous 1960s vintage sideboard from England. This new piece became a little project for me – what to hang above it, what to put on it.
The thing about decorating is that I can go on forever. There’s always a cute little something to add here, or a pretty little something to add there. Sooner or later it will be juuust right, but until then I am enjoying every minute.
