Vanity Fair

Since cohabiting with B, my closet space has taken a serious hit. The tall ceilings are no help when you do not quite graze five foot three. Even after a year in my apartment, there are still certain corners that do not feel 'finished'. I will be making an attempt to use unfinished space to help solve some of my organizational issues. My jewelry collection, while not huge, definitely needs some attention in that department - the tangled necklaces trying to share hooks with someone's work slacks just ain't cuttin' it. My current aspiration is to create a combined area for my cosmetics and jewelry...how to do so without the whole kit and caboodle turning into one hot mess? Still working on that...these images have been serving as inspiration for what direction I need to take. Do you have any ingenious strategies to lend in helping create a snazzy dressing table?

Office Space

Whether you work from home, or just need to utilize a space to control the chaos of day to day life, creating a colorful office space can really bring pleasure to staying organized. You might even enjoy the time spent behind your desk - regardless if it's an entire work week or just paying bills and writing thank you cards on the weekend. Since this is one of the rare spaces that will only be for you, it's a great place to showcase your personal style and tailor it to your exact needs. 

SOLD: J Crew's Jenna Lyons' Brooklyn Home

Well, I don't know how I let this one slip through my fingers! (budget restrictions could be a minor factor, cough ) The Park Slope town home most of us have been lusting after since it graced the pages of Domino has been sold - get this- for MORE than the original asking price (yes, 'in this economy!') it was listed last fall at 3.75, and it's been reported the takers snagged it for a cool 4 mil. Ms. President and Creative Director of J Crew decorated this gem on her own - and it shows, in the best possible way. 

Chandies galore

Make a Statement

I live in a corner unit loft apartment that has two things I love in abundance - exposed brick and windows. The trade-off being, that I have very limited wall space in our living area. Currently, a huge canvas with a green and blue tie dye effect is holding court by default. I am totally ready for a change up, and I love the way these interior shots revolve around one stunning statement piece of artwork.

Best in Show

I have a problem: I have been lusting over the idea of a wall paper adorned powder room and/or entry for years. Sadly, my condo is a rental and I doubt the owner would share my enthusiasm for the motif that tops my wish list:
