hi guys! stopping in while i have a minute and some motivation. i broke down and am posting pics of my apartment as is.

there’s been a lot going on and the last thing i’ve been doing is truly decorating.  you know how it is. but i do have a table scape with the few things i own.  ;p

i’m still waiting for the armoire to be built and the curtains to go up. in fact i have to get the rods today.

i bit the bullet and got a sofa. it can be separated and sleeps two either separately or together. the backs come off and there’s a corner too so it’s got a lot of versatility. they can go face to face or along the back wall too.

my books are on the floor as the shelves are being planned and debated to the enth degree

but at least they’re with me. some of them anyway. my books are spread between my parents and new york. very few are here and i’l love get them all together.

going thru the linens i found my stash from paris including one with my initials that was long forgotten.  (sorry i didn’t iron but it went right into the wash. i tried smudge in photoshop but there’s nothing like the real thing)  ;p

i’m trying to beef it up on all fronts including me, my biz, my car, food, work, life. just tightening up in general. i found this shot from coco and kelly and it’s my inspiration for the day.

    It’s been way too long since I’ve visited.
    I’ve caught up on reading about your new apartment and about your décor. Your new sofa and floors are beautiful. You have a perfect canvas to work with. I look forward to seeing how you work your magique.

    Bonne semaine,

    Hello Claudia,
    My, there’s a lot going on inside these pretty rooms and in your head! So much inspiration and you can’t get moving fast enough! Relax… everything will be beautiful as always…a whiff of a feather, a scroll of a piece of wire and assorted French stuff- how can you go wrong? I’m looking forward to the process as always.Have a great day, Therese

    LOOOVe the sofa, am looking for something exactly like it. Would you mind sharing where you got it, or a model name or something. I’m hoping I could find it up here in Canada.
    Have fun with it.
