Real Living: daydreaming in Teal

While I thought apartment shopping would be so enjoyable, truthfully, it's much harder than it seems. I am such a picky little decorista. One thing I am enjoying about it is the 'blank canvas' idea and my imagination of what I would do in the space gets to run wild. The last apartment I saw had the most adorable little kitchen breakfast nook. If I moved in, I would recreate this adorable little teal and white situation...

When I first saw this modern and glamorous apartment from Real Living, I knew that it was something I would want to replicate one day. Mint green walls in the bedroom, wild wallpaper in the living room and the deep gorgeous teal in the dining nook. Metallics abound in all colors, silver, gold and bronze (hello olympics) and it's packed with feminine edge. Remember my confession about my love for turquoise chairs? Hello.
How cute is that little gold pineapple hook? Ugh. This space just speaks to my soul.

I love that color wall! It reminds me of an awesome bedroom Kendall Wilkinson did for the SF showcase some years back.

I'm home shopping too! It's hard right? Unfortunately see potential in EVERYTHING. I hope you find the right place soon. And then invite me up there! ;)

Loving the colors here too. So happy.

Teal looks so good with that burnt orange. So throwback! And yes, that last room is lovely. From the ikat, to the bedside table to the little pineapple hook. :)
