Sneak Peek Into My Apartment Re-design...
If I could, I would change up the look of my apartment every month! As a designer, I'm always on the hunt for new ideas & inspiration for clients, my online boutique and my blog, which often leads me to make-over my apartment in my head constantly. And once I get a new idea, it's all I can think about! I desperately want to re-vamp our living room in every way, shape and form...but because we're on a super tight budget, the quickest and least expensive way to change anything was with paint. So, here's a quick look at what a difference a little paint can make!
More to come! I'm planning on getting an area rug, new pillows, accessories...but this will have to do for now :) XO - Julie
That looks gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteps you mentioned your apartment garden in your comment on my blog - I know what that's like as I lived in a tiny apartment for 7 years - it was difficult. I had tonnes of pots and my courtyard was like a jungle!
Oh even the painting looks completely different against the new wall. Love the colour! A-M xx
ReplyDeleteWow , what a difference a little paint makes, a great example. I also love your side console.

julie! i love, love, love the color change. it completely opened up the space, enlarged it and brightened it. and your white couch, very daring...i love white couches and one day will dare to add one to my house, maybe once i own a house. that will be my treat! loving your eclectic variety of pillows too, you are like me with pillows ;) have a great day and thanks for sharing with us!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge difference that has made. I bet you love the result!
ReplyDeleteAngex

ReplyDeleteLove how good it looks! That blue is beautiful. I really love how it's literally changed the look of everything in the room. How refreshing!
ReplyDeleteLovely. Isn't it amazing what simply painting can do for your room and your personality. xx's Marsha
ReplyDeleteI echo all the other comments as well...it looks beautiful! Would you mind sharing the paint color?
ReplyDeleteWow, just getting rid of that beige makes all the difference. Love the new blue. So great.
ReplyDeleteJulie - I have been dying to get a peak at your home for some time now! I love your blog, your online shop and all of your creative talents, so it's fun to see a glimpse into your own personal space. I love the new accent wall, it really brightens things up!
ReplyDeletethank you everyone for all of your positive feedback! i really need to start sharing more of my personal work & projects with you :)
ReplyDelete*to answer heather's question, the color i used is called Mystic Green by Frazee...it's actually much more blue than it is green, but i guess you can never really judge a paint color by it's name, right?!
So refreshing!! I totally hear you... I change with the seasons haha!! Literally!! Summer is coming and so is the vibrant color in my apartment. Loving it!
ReplyDeleteBeatriz.

ReplyDeleteOh Jules..you must be so pleased..that looks a million times better ( not that it looked bad before) but it looks fresh and balanced. I love the cushions you have now...love the orange tones...cant wait to see what you do next :) x
ReplyDeletethat looks great, I love how the wall has receded and the picture and the picture, lamp and mirror look like a more cohesive whole. Great colour call me dear!
