If you haven’t already, you NEED to check out the newly launched online mag Domaine. The latest from the Who What Wear gals, their sister shelter site is beaming with inspiring decor, celebrity home tours, and DIY tips. This West Hollywood two bedroom, home to actress and designer Katie Nehra, is one of my faves. I’m having a bit of a color moment and am loving the pops of bright pink, turquoise, and red. Definitely worth a read!

Apartment Envy: Lonny Mag’s Michelle Adams’ NYC Pad
Leave it to Michelle Adams, Lonny’s Editor in Chief, to bring big style to a 475 square foot space in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Her use of black, white, ivory and gold with splashes of color and graphic prints is such a great way to keep everything cohesive (a must in a small space) but still interesting. Take a gander.
Love, love, love!

Apartment Envy: A Brooklyn One Bedroom Makeover
I’m always a sucker for tips on decorating small spaces–a likely product of living in them my entire adult life. As per usual, the editors at Lonny nailed it with this NYC apartment makeover featured in last month’s issue. Take a gander…
The mix of textures from acrylic and metal to leather and fur really makes the neutral color palette work. Architectural details like the ornate fireplace and ceiling tiles don’t hurt either. I’m really digging that leather chaise too.
The bulk of the furnishings came from Restoration Hardware‘s Big Style Small Spaces Collection. While RH is usually pretty pricey, a lot of the items were surprisingly reasonable. I particularly love the light fixture.
I’ve never thought of displaying handbags on the wall but it really livens up the space while doubling as storage–score! And this bedroom… it’s airy and feminine but not fussy. The mix of delicate textures in the mongolian fur pillow and the sheepskin rug really soften the all-white minimalist theme.
Apartment Envy: Cassandra Lavalle’s Seattle Pad
I’ve been following Cassie’s blog Coco + Kelly for a while now and couldn’t wait to see the reveal of her Seattle apartment in Rue Magazine. I was not let down. She does a superb job mixing highs and lows for a look that’s elegant, cozy and gleaming with personal style.
I love the black detail on the sofa and how about that artwork? It’s actually her own!
The neutral palette with splashes of color creates a cozy yet eclectic atmosphere. That leopard tray is fabulous and the green pouf adds an element of fun.
While she has some fantastic investment pieces like her sofa, I love how she mixes in DIY touches and ebay finds like this AMAZING brass trunk (I need one!).
The aquamarine chandelier is from ZGallerie. Love!
The brass and gold accents elevate the whole apartment. This dresser which doubles as a changing table is one of my favorite pieces, I’m a sucker for anything black and white.
I absolutely love the mixed print bedding and nailhead upholstered headboard (from Serena and Lily). The chandelier is icing on the cake.
Lovely. When can I move in?
