progress updates...

it has been a while since i have updated the progress on our new place (mini updates on curvatude) because life has been moving at the speed of lightning but here we go...

i figure if i break it down into rooms, it will be easier for me to remember (LOL) and easier for you to follow along.

studio - i have pretty much finalized my design of this space and true to my where the magic happens pinterest board that i started a couple of years back, it will be for the most part white and gold.

and the piece de resistance is my glossy white jett desk that we ordered from Z Gallerie a few weeks ago!


it is so gorgeous. i have been stalking it for months and i am geeked that it was slated to arrive in 2-3 weeks (their estimated delivery date, which is way too long for me but what can ya do? sighh) and since i started this post at the beginning of february, it should be here since we ordered is feb 5th but it is not, soo...now that i have a voice back (yes I have been sick..uggghhhh) i will have to call them again and find out where it is. 

but when it arrives, i plan to change out the pulls because my studio theme is gold and white and possibly do something to the top because it is very high gloss and if the model in the store is an indicator, very high scratch prone and i will be using this desk often, so i want to protect it...

i of course have been collecting for it forever but have also added some new pieces that i will use in it as well...here are a few...


other updates...iphone photos some copied from my instagram but when its all done, i will definitely use my camera...

entry way - i am adding a kind of a life central in the entry way. i purchased chalkboard film & letters and will soon add a cork piece and diy it all onto a frame but for now, it's just hung on the wall



basically the bathroom's color scheme anchor is grey and white. i will be adding colors seasonally to mix things up but i like this base.

i have been changing out the rugs but for now, i have gone with white ones like this fluffy shag rug from pier one. side note: almost everyone was like "a white fluffy rug?" because of course keeping them clean can be an issue but i just picked it up every other day or so and shook it out and lightly swept it if necessary and it has not been a problem

the shower curtain will change but it will mainly be some variation of grey and white like the one we currently have


i purchased this devine colors wallpaper from target and while its looks kinda grey and blue online, as you can see, in person it is so pretty and has dark grey & light grey sparkle running through it.

i orginally was going to do one entire wall but now i have decided to use it to do stripes instead...


oh and that's our new side chair, which we are now in the process of exchanging because it arrived damaged and dirty...but its such a cute chair...i love the studs and white faux leather


bedroom...although it is the bane of my existence because of its sharp edges that seem to be really attracted to my shins, we are sticking with the bed for a bit, but we did snag this great bench from marshalls



plans...

the center room is such a great size that i plan to split it into both a lounge area & a dining room. this is the table that i want for the dining area..its also from z gallerie


for the most part, joe wants to design the kitchen but i know that i will have to add a few touches of my own, especially to the pantry, which could be a really great storage space, and we NEEEDDD storage space, so that I don't have to always take/pick things up from our rented storage space...

stay tuned...

  1. Lovely! You know, I eyed that same desk from Z Gallerie, but in the end I just couldn't bring myself to spend $600 on it (we'd just moved into our house, needed other things, and I didn't want to overspend on a piece that was just for me). I ended up with the Josephine desk from World Market for around $180, which has similar lines and shape. It turned out to be a surprisingly sturdy, quality piece.

    1. Hey Stephanie!

      Yes, it is definitely an investment but one I was willing to make because I have wanted it for so long. Hopefully I will be working so hard at it and bringing home major moolah because I love it so much 😊
