Decor Envy

Once I got over my extreme jealousy for this gorgeous NYC apartment layout I couldn't help but admire the eclectic and homey design. A Cup of Jo is one of my favorite blogs and I love how their home just seems to sum it all up.

The best parts are definitely those personal touches. The Clash poster that he loves (which happens to look amazing in there!) and the rocking chair with the sweet memories, that fact that its cozy and kid friendly while still being stylish and not childish.

I'm not sure if I love the collage TV wall or that gorgeous grey rug / couch combo more. Either way, I know that I want to completely redecorate our condo. Or, better yet, find a new condo with hardwood floors, lots of windows, and some character.

I can't wait to see the bedrooms and nursery!

P.s. I'm still not over my jealousy. I want to move to the city.

San Francisco Living

I love San Francisco. I'd love to live in San Francisco. Not sure I could handle just 500 sq ft though. One of my favorite blogger, Jordan Ferney and her family of 4, handle it quite beautifully though.

Check out the way they've maximized their limited space. Somehow, the whole place still looks light, inviting, and not at all crowded or cluttered. I love her style, especially the kids room. The black and white tile floor is a huge bonus too, as I'm quite obsessed.
