Concrete Jungle

New York City can be such a fun place to visit. Remember I am born and raised southern California girl. I saw this condo listed in NYC and thought who couldn't enjoy city life while retreating to this tranquil space at the end of each day? Each room has a slightly different quality about it making high rise living interesting! The master bedroom is relaxing and bright, each living space has a slightly different function...one for watching tv and one for conversation. The bathroom is modern, clean and spa-like. See for yourself...

Rest Your Head Here

I've always had an upholstered headboard since I can remember. I moved about 10 years ago and decided to use a carved wood bed frame for my new house. Ugh! I didn't realize how much I adore a soft place to rest my head until that moment! A few years went by before I'd had enough and replaced my bed frame with an upholstered one. Much better...

Here are some fun examples of summery headboards.

There is a color palette out there for everyone. Some people are drawn to vibrant saturated colors whiles others are drawn to subdued earth tones. However, black and white can be a great way to express yourself without committing to any color.

Black and white rooms come across to as modern, glamorous and sexy. Case in point, these rooms...
