First year in my apartment!

I closed on my apartment a year ago (which was also one year after going into contract)

What an adventure it was to move everything myself (from across the street) when my movers never showed up!

I had a lot of time to imagine colors and furniture arrangements

It certainly is a pleasure coming home every day!

The light at sunset is amazing.  What an exciting year it has been

Clever organizational gadgets

Those little boxes are actually shirts.  I first saw the sleek Japanese design of Muji at the MoMA design store, but happened to stumble across the store in Times Square

My heart sometimes starts palpitating when I see displays of kitchen and home accessories

More fun design-ness.  Amazing

Blue Willow

I found this set of China in an antique store in Madison, CT for a ridiculous price.  So pretty.  It has 6 complete settings and a serving platter, except there are only 4 berry bowls.  

I love them and use them every day.  Big fan of blue and white porcelain.
