Hi there! I love the wine rack table and was wondering where you found it?!
I bought it used off Craigslist. I believe it was from Crate & Barrel originally.
Thanks Marti!! :)
Hello! I absolutely adore your home. Can you please tell me what paint and stain you used for the night stands?? Where did you find those knobs?
Thanks!
Thank you, Leah! All of the supplies for the nightstands came from Home Depot.
– Paint: off-the-shelf Behr white semi-gloss.
– Stain: Minwax Dark Walnut
– Knobs: Liberty Decca 1 in. Venetian Cabinet Knob (mine don’t look as brushed/aged as these do, so they may have changed the finish since I bought them, or the photo just might accentuate it: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Liberty-Decca-1-in-Venetian-Bronze-Cabinet-Knob-P15093C-VBR-C/202021083)
Found this through Reddit. Your home is absolutely beautiful! I love the perfect balance of simplicity, modernism, retro touches and neutral colors. Also love the inclusion of plants–I feel folks often underestimate the importance and effectiveness of including greenery in the home, I think. Great light and comfortable use of rugs. Thanks for sharing with the world!
Love your home!! Especially all the unique framed art on your wall:)
I found this through Apartment Therapy. I love what you did with the retro-renovation of your half bath. As for your apartment overall, Tina expresses my thoughts exactly in her comment above. Oh—I also love your cat!
Just love that dinning room set. May I ask were you purchase it from. Exactly what I’m looking for.
