Cupcakes and Cashmere

House Hunting

September 22nd, 2010

Recently it became clear that my boyfriend and I had grown out of our current place (in some ways, quite literally).  It was almost sad to realize, since these past two years here have been wonderful, but we were both ready for a change.  This past weekend we found an incredible apartment with hardwood floors, a fireplace, an open kitchen, exposed beams and gorgeous bedrooms and yesterday we got word that it’s ours.   It’s going to take a while to furnish the place, but in the meantime, I’m obsessing over nearly every piece at Jayson Home & Garden that will add a chic touch.

1. Vintage Suitcase, $695
2. Boucle Wire Shop Baskets, $98
3. Bacchus Serving Stand, $150
4. Farmers Market Baskets, $20
5. Quartz Votive Holder, $54
6. Knot Door Stop, $35
7. Marble Salt and Pepper Cellars, $108
8. Vintage Flashlight Lamp, $250
9. Watson Horn Magnifier, $42
10. Big Sur Lantern, $78
11. Pyrite Heart, $52
12. Claw Bottle Opener, $24

    How exciting! The new place sounds superb :) And Jayson H&G has ah-mazing pieces. I love your picks (I’m a big black/ivory/coffee color palette fan too) but the piece that takes the cake is the claw bottle opener.. so rad.

    wow, congrats Emily! That’s so amazing. A new place is like a new chapter though. How exciting!!

    It was great semi-meeting you at the IFBcon..it was more like “Emily, come with me” haha, taking you to the back room before your speech! Anyhow, great to finally meet you in person! Take care!

    I was thinking you were running out of space in your apartment to decorate. Look forward to your moving/setting up tips – any creative ideas welcome – it is so daunting. Enjoy your new apartment.

    Congrats! That’s so awesome! What area of La? I was apartment hunting in La a couple weeks ago and it was soo frustrating. Santa Monica is my favorite place! Can’t wait to see what you do to your new place!

    Moving is always a hectic but I always find it so cleansing. You can purge all that stuff you have been meaning to get rid of and start moving it all around. Good luck to you! Cant wait to see what you do with the place!
