Marble and Copper

I have been loving all things marble and copper lately. I blame H&M! They had so many beautiful things like marble trays, containers, boxes, tablecloths, baskets… I bought half of the collection!

Generally the marble pattern just makes everything look more luxurious and clean. If you want to beautify your home with marble you don’t have to fork out a fortune for the real deal, there are plenty of easy and inexpensive DIY’s out there to make it at home! One of the best investments for me was marble contact foil – its like a sticker that you can stick to any surface and it instantly looks great!

Same with copper. As it has been quite the decor trend lately, a lot of companies are making overpriced copper articles but with a bit of spray paint you can easily transform an old piece into a trend article! Also, look for copper parts in your local DIY store, pipes etc make great DIY projects!

Moved into heaven

Well hello there!

I don’t actually know where to begin! It’s been a couple of wonderful weeks in NY and I am actually in LA now! Turns out I am going to be here the second month so it’s all pretty awesome. Haven’t decided which city is better yet… but I have TONS of pictures!

 

First of all I just have to show you the apartment in NY… it’s just incredible…

 

I will probably never have the chance to live in a place like this again – because, you know, I’m not rich and all. But hey who knows… maybe one day! :P

 

The view is just unbelievable. It’s on the 29th floor and there is a sweet rooftop on the 41st and a gym and pool in the basement. I have died and gone into heaven!

 

I’ll be posting some awesome rooftop shots soon. :)
