House Tour :: A Little La In Nyc…

I should really know better than to try and leave my posts until the last minute when I'm traveling in New York! There are far too many distractions here that keep me off my laptop! So today's post is a quickie... but a goodie. Infusing two of my most favorite things together - a laid back west coast approach to design in a beautiful Manhattan apartment...

It makes all sorts of sense to lean towards low-profile mid-century style in a smaller space like those found all over New York City, and this Chelsea apartment really hits it out of the park in showcasing just how well it works. But I have to say, my favorite part might be this incredible pattern mix in the bedroom...
