You guys! I’m so excited to finally share the before photos of our brand stinking new Greenwich Village apartment! If you’ve been following a long for a few years now, you know when I first moved to New York I lived in Murray Hill (you can see my first place here!). From there I moved on up to the Upper East Side (#projectUES) and now, I’ve made my way down to Greenwich Village.

My boyfriend and I found our apartment on Street Easy. We actually didn’t have to look at too many places before deciding that this was the one! It’s over 1,000 square feet with a sunk in living room + fireplace. The AC units are a bit dated but hopefully that won’t be too hard of a fix.

I’m actually so excited to see how we bring our furniture and design aesthetics together! I made us an appointment at Restoration Hardware and we also have the Shade Store coming over to measure for custom curtains for the bedroom. The corner window in the bedroom would be a bit challenging to do on my own so we decided to bring in the professionals! I worked with the Shade Store on custom bamboo shades for my apartment in Murray Hill and loved the way it turned out.

In the meantime, be sure to follow along on Instagram for more behind-the-scenes look at our apartment progress! Happy Sunday. Xo. Lauren
