My apartment

I always think it's so fun to see how others live. Here is a little sneak into my apartment. My husband and I moved in about 6 months ago, so of course I have a mile long list of things I would like to do and add but it just takes time (and convincing of the husband). My hopefully soon purchases will be lamps from circa lighting (I'm in serious need of a new big floor lamp), a fabulous vintage headboard (like hers but smaller), and new bedding (I'm thinking Pratesi or at least similar to). Thoughts?




The reason we signed the lease...the view
...actually this is the current view as of yesterday with all the snow!

I love the look of your space...the 2 tufted chairs and the wood floors...gorgeous! I definitely think a lamp would work well! :))))

When I saw your apartment, I thought, this looks my place.
Its so funny that our houses look a like, but you live in NY and I live in Spain, our taste is international!
I would like to send you some pictures of my apartment so you can see it yourself, I also live in a small apartment.
email me at tallytate@hotmail.com, and I will respond you with pictures of my apartment.
Best
Tally

Oh my goodness...I've been looking for the perfect shade of gray for months now and the paint color in your bedroom is PERFECT! Do you mind telling me what brand it is? Is is the same shade as the living room? I HAVE to know! ;) THANK YOU!
