A Sneak Peek At My New Apartment In LA

+ A view of the living room. Crazy for all this light!


+ Found this beautiful faded rug from Unique Rug Store on Etsy.


+ Finally found a litter box that's not hideous. This sleek one is from ModKat.


+ Neutral fabric swatches I was considering for the sofa. Went with a bright white.

+ Scored this mid-century piece from Good Bones Vintage. More details below...


+ New Everlane loafers and a new striped rug from Urban Outfitters.
