It’s hard to believe we’ve been in our new Greenwich Village apartment for 8 months now! I haven’t blogged in a few weeks so I thought I would share a quick update on where we are in the design process. I’m on a serious mission to finish our bedroom before 2018 comes to an end… fingers crossed we can make it happen!

Let’s get to it, shall we?

Our custom white linen shades from the Shade Store are officially installed. Now I’m on to layering with hardware and drapes for the three windows. The corner window is very tricky but luckily the Shade Store has a professional team that can help us with every single detail. In case you’re not familiar, the Shade Store has a wide variety of designer fabrics to choose from for both custom shades & drapes. I personally love the One Kings Lane collection and currently leaning toward the lattice bamboo fabric in light blue!

In furniture and decor news, we finally received our new Rae 8-drawer dresser and Aerin flush mount from One Kings Lane!! I was living without a dresser for the first few months we were in our apartment so having this big, beautiful dresser has been so helpful. My closet is no longer over flowing!! What I love most about the dresser is that it comes with a jewelry tray in the top right drawer. If you’re in the market for a neutral dresser with a ton of storage, I highly recommend! I would also make sure to order with the white glove delivery service – One Kings Lane made the delivery process seamless! I am struggling a bit selecting a second dresser to pair with it but currently have my eye on this Avery dresser from Pottery Barn Kids. Do you like the matte white or brushed fog?

I’m a HUGE fan of Aerin Lauder and specifically love her lighting collection. This flush mount is the first piece from her collection we have in our apartment and I’m hoping we can invest in a few other pieces for our living room like this Lebon floor lamp. For our night stands I’m thinking about ordering these Fountaine table lamps which also come in cast iron and white finishes!

Eventually we’ll upgrade to a king bed but this might have to be a 2019 investment – I’m currently loving this Toulouse bed from Pottery Barn or this similar version from Restoration Hardware. Last but not least, we certainly cannot finish our bedroom without a rug from Annie Selke! I have my eye on this Ivory wool rug or this petite diamond rug — which do you prefer?

I find it interesting that I’m gravitating so much to natural wood & white finishes in this apartment. A drastic departure from my navy blue walls in my UES bedroom f you remember! There is so much natural light that comes in through the corner window in our bedroom that I can’t help but want to make sure the room feels light, bright and airy! Do you find your design aesthetic evolving over time? I’d love to hear! You can shop all of the pieces in the round up below. Xo. Lauren
