Next week we move into our brand spankin’ new apartment in Manhattan, and I could not be more excited to decorate it. However, this is the first time in my adult life that I will not be able to paint the walls. I am a huge fan of painted accent walls, wall paper, or just simple stripes, and bare naked white walls seem daunting to me. I have found myself fantasizing about just one colored wall, and what color would I choose? Neutral, versatile, and welcoming grey. A mid tone grey works is both traditional and modern, warming and cooling, and it works with all tones of wood and almost any pop color. I am already working on how I can incorporate it into my white, black, oak and emerald green living/dining room. Check out these pics below for some amazing inspiration for incorporating grey into your own living room.

How will you incorporate grey into your house?

After what seems like an eternally long week, my boyfriend and I have finally found an apartment in New York. (Shame on all of you New Yorkers for not warning me to what a nightmare it is here). Although we found what we feel is the perfect space, we are now in a constant debate over what of our current furniture we want to keep, and what we can afford to lose. While I know I will have to make some concessions down the line, right now I am dreaming of the perfect way to decorate a small NYC space. Light and white is vital to me- to open up the room and give the illusion of space. I want to punctuate the all-white look with gold accents, textures such as hide and velvet, and have a dose of natural wood to bring the look back down to earth. Top it off with some elements of my favorite color, green- and we’ve got my personal heaven.

See some of my inspiration, all from Pinterest, below:

{Love the scattered green, and the hide rug}

{Sadly my apt does not have that roof or those beams, but I think that wooden bench could be in the budget}

{Sisal rug, wooden side table and black frames for contrast}

{Do I have the cajones for those sofas? How I wish…}

{Again with the black detailing- need to incorporate black somehow!}

{How refreshing is that pop of green on the stark black and white?}

Now with some old and new pieces, this is how I envision the look:

Oscar Sofa: ZGallerie

Rug: WestElm

Velvet Chairs: Target (great find!)

Hide Pillows: ZGallerie

Coffee Table: Ikea

Floor Lamp: Mitchell Gold+Bob Williams

Wood Side Tables: WestElm

Gold Leaf Screen: Design Studio D

Hide Benches: Mitchell Gold+Bob Williams
