A NYC dream for every 20-something girl is to have a Vogue-interview worthy, decorated-to-perfection loft in TriBeCa. Unfortunately for most of us, this remains a dream well into our 40s, or fades into a more practical reality of an Upper West Side 2-bedroom better suited for children and closer to our offices. But occasionally, our tiny little studio apartments can serve as a stepping stone, showcasing our expensive tastes without actually costing that much at all...
With the help of a very talented decorator, I've created the age-appropriate apartment of my dreams. Nahila kept in mind my 20-something budget, and curated an apartment that says sophistication, not struggle. Discover her here.
The globe is one of my favorite pieces. I don't usually reveal my secrets, but in this case I will make an exception. I paid $20 dollars for that globe, and about $6 for the gold spray paint. Nahila, crafty as she is, covered the masculine silver with a blanket of solid gold. (Nahhhh, not really...) And there you have it kids -- cheapest, easiest, and chicest secret of all is always to Do It Yourself.
