It will probably take longer for me to write this post than it took for me to create a sweet magnet board from a discarded cookie tin found on the trash pile my dogs were scouting as a potential toilet – that included bringing home & thoroughly cleaning. This cookie tin caught my eye as the *tempting* selection seemed so dated and it was – there was a partial price tag from Philly’s own Strawbridge & Clothier which…

I can’t stop thinking about this mouthwatering kitschy kitchen! I was trying to save it for a *Wednesday Wall-covering Wrap-up* post, but I fell prey to its pretty pink perfection and wanted to my readers to be able to drink it in immediately.
xxoo.
Have you ever had one of those interior decor epiphanies after looking at same design element for the 6205th time? Recently I noticed all the potential hair images I had been collecting years ago and realized that with Pinterest, these dusty & outdated tearsheets were obsolete. What I really needed was a better way to store my growing collection of stylish hair accessories from Dollsville.
After doing a quick strength test using a mighty magnet, my plan to re-purpose…
Sometimes a change of venue requires one to look at old furniture with a pair of fresh eyes. The client’s secretary served as a home office, bedroom dresser and dressing table – as New Yorkers even our home furniture must multi-task. However, when the client upgraded her zipcode, but downgraded her square footage the secretary needed to work overtime.
The old girl was also in dire need of a make-over, especially if it was to take center stage in…
The past week I have been working on a MASSIVE move for a suburban client (read: huge home with many many rooms in which to store stuff). The packing of their home of over 40 years required 4 large moving trucks that were crammed, professionally, of course with more cardboard boxes than I care to count and fortunately that was not my job to do so. However, this excessive use of cardboard got me thinking about this amazing pendant lamp…
Many years ago when I was a student in London, Time Out magazine was my bible. This indispensable city guide was my ticket to culture, cuisine and cool. I still feel that way about the magazine – especially when they feature something as awesome as this…
yep, that would be me! well, really my apartment, but we’re are somewhat one & the same. I am incredibly thrilled and humbled by the experience. The support of friends, clients and basic strangers…
My Etsy shop was never intended to be a money maker, but rather an opportunity to further market the apartmentjeanie brand while simultaneously ridding me of my ornate frame hoarding practice. Recently I had been approached by a potential customer who really liked the epoxy resin frames that fill the shop. She wanted the silver art deco frame to be converted into a mirror with a custom finish. Until you have sanded, cleaned, painted, glittered and covered something in…
Between being completely absorbed in an amazing new interior décor book – that was intended to be the subject of today’s post and my MAC begging to die a slow death, a quality apartmentjeanie post this is not. However, I do feel the gorgeous pink peonies from James Durr Wholesale Florist located in Union Square Farmers Market are deserving of one.
Peonies have long been my favorite flower – so lush and billowy and most often in pink. …
I have been streamlining the lives of others in some capacity as long as I can recall. As the self-proclaimed chaos conqueror (actually I was bequeathed the moniker by a writer at Town & Country, I just kind of owned it) I am ruthless and unyielding at eliminating the clutter of others. While my own living space is neat, tidy and über organized, I do have a slight stockpiling problem with housewares that possess potential. Lucky for me, I…
