new york apartment redesign: the reveal

it’s finally time for the reveal of my apartment redesign! if you missed it, i discussed all of the details and logistics surrounding this redesign in this post here.


the before

as with any good reveal, we need to see the before pictures, right!? so here are the pictures of my apartment before anything was done:

as you can see, it was never terrible in terms of it’s style but it was just so boring with the white on white on white that i couldn’t bear the sight of it any more (i know dramatic but true). it had no pizzaz, no life, no creativity! the horrorrrrrrr!! so thankfully shannon came in and worked her unbelievable magic on the space. so now i present to you, the after!
