I can’t believe that Nick and I have been living in our current apartment for three entire years! We absolutely love<\/em> our sunny one bedroom apartment<\/a> in Kips Bay.\u00a0The time has completely flown by and some days it feels like just yesterday we were recent college grads moving into our first place in the West Village<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"New\n

If you’re unfamiliar with Manhattan, Kips Bay is a small neighborhood on the east side of the city– south of busy Midtown and just a few blocks north of quaint Gramercy Park. It’s the perfect location for us because it’s right in the middle of everything. Nick can easily hop on the 6 train to work uptown and I can walk to my favorite spots in Flatiron, Gramercy and Union Square. In just a ten minute cab or subway ride we can get to all the cool downtown neighborhoods like Soho, Nolita and the West Village.<\/p>\n

It’s been on my blog to-do list to share an apartment tour for literally two years now (SO overdue), but I just kept delaying because I wanted to wait until I was 100% happy with our decor. My interior style has evolved so much recently. While I used to be really into bright colors<\/a> (a carry over from my college days…) I’d say that I now prefer neutrals and soft tones. We also just had some many little things like framed photos, throw pillows, knick knacks, lamps, etc. that just didn’t\u00a0make sense\u00a0and that I was only holding on to because I’m a hoarder \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\"New\n

When I traveled to Finland last year<\/a> I completely fell in love with Scandinavian design style<\/a>. Just think: clean, light-filled spaces with functional furniture complemented by cozy and warm decorative elements. If you saw my last apartment update<\/a> you’ll notice that our large furniture has stayed the same, however I completely switched up the color palette and replaced some of the smaller accessories in our main living space. I could go on and on, but I don’t want to bore you guys with text because yes– this post includes a VIDEO!<\/p>\n

Gimme a drumroll please… Without further adieu I give you part 1 of my\u00a0New York City Apartment Tour! <\/strong>Yep, there will be a part 2 featuring our bedroom and bathroom \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
