Feels Like Home

I moved into my current apartment in mid-April and have been living without a couch during that entire 5-month span. Decorating efforts were a tad stalled, to say the least. The coming cooler weather has me tidying up my nest and preparing it for all the time that will be spent hunkering down indoors  with a fire on those blustery winter weekends. I recently acquired a fabulous couch and it has completely reinvigorated my urge to decorate my living room. The images above are all on my Pinterest boards and have been serving up inspiration lately. One common thread I’m noticing in the images that speak to me the most are the sharp black and white contrasts, jewel tone accents, cowhide rugs, and large statement pieces of art. Now that I mention it, my wardrobe has been trending towards this aesthetic as well. My favorite piece in all of these photos though? That stunning black piano in the last image. I once dated a guy who could play Beethoven and Mozart from memory and to this day my memories of those piano dates leave me swooning.
