This week I’m posting snippets from my ‘NYC APT’ inspiration folder…
Check out what a little bit of orange paint can do to old and too-simple cabinetry? This would also work wonders on that super bland furniture that we all have at least one piece of.

We’re in the market for a new (matching) pair of arm chairs for the living room. These are a gazillion dollars from Hickory Chair, but I love them so.
We’ve had basically non-stop visitors since we moved to New York. And we’re pretty much booked through Christmas. All the house guests have turned my focus to linen closets and I have dreams about mine someday looking like this:

I am using a chest of drawers as my kitchen island and since there is a 360-degree view of the piece now, it desperately needs a new paint job. The top candidate for colors is Farrow and Ball’s ‘Down Pipe’
What could possibly be better than an antique empire chandelier? Two of them.
Completely enamored by the colors and pattern in this antique textile from an old Style Court post. I’m going to try some experimenting with fabric dye and white silk for a pillow or two.
Not new news, but I love skirted tables. This round, trimmed out table by Celerie Kemble is really doing it for me. I’ll take that lamp too, please and thank you.
Wow, that antique textile piece is stunning… The colors are out of this world! Anxious to see how the fabric dying goes!

I too love skirted tables! Also loving the orange in the first image – what a cool, retro feel.

I want to see your dresser-turned-island! Our kitchen just has room for a small island, and I'm brainstorming for ideas…

holy moly, I love that textile!! super inspiring…can't wait to see your take on it!
I'm sure you'll get phone calls from long-lost high friends or calls from a second or third cousin wanting to "see" you–but more like crash at your NYC apartment. Welcome to one of the greatest city in the world!
Great inspirations as usual. Can't wait to see the place.
Love the table skirt! Also, the chandelier room could be my favorite of them all!

Very curious!! Now that you are in NYC, how are you liking it? I have written on your blog several times as I have my own "Color&Light Atelier". I lived in NYC for many years and now out in Connecticut. I have wondered if you were going to find all the challenges in NYC with small kids coming from Baltimore? What are your challenges and likes?
ahh the chairs, linens, and chandeliers. i'm loving this series of inspiration!
ON GILT RIGHT NOW, they have Hickpry Chair tufte velvet chair with studs – half off. More of a rust brown – bot beautiful!
Under the Dransfield and Ross sale in the home section.
Jenny, you just really rock my world, again and again. Still loving your blog. These are all such great images that strike a chord with me more than a lot of the ones I see out there. I am so excited to see what you do w/your ny digs!!!
I also dream about a linen closet like this one ! And about the chandelier! I already have the farrow & Ball wall ;)
I'm so glad you highlighted Hickory Chair! I've been looking for the provenance of my 15 year old chair that I'm getting reupholstered, and it's an earlier iteration of the Hunt Chair. Now I really know it's worth getting redone!
I will have to get a tutorial on that dyeing silk pillow thing. Sounds messy but I'm sure you will pull it off!
I only wish my linen closets looked like that.
I love this! Esp that table!
"Down Pipe" by Farrow and Ball is so lovely!
very inspired! :)
