With a little help from Nate...

inspired by Nate's stunning combination of textures & patterns.
thanks for making me feel better about my "renter's white" walls Nate!

If you've stopped by before, you know that I'm newly obsessed with decorating my empty, although lovely, apartment. It's all I think about lately actually, but, uhmm, my pockets don't often agree with my taste. Never mind all that..on with the plan. In said obsession, I plan on using a few Nate Berkus pieces in my space. Hello affordable, gorgeous pieces?? Sigh...only NB. Aside: Nate, I'd appreciate it if you would bring this, this, and this back. Please and many thanks. So, here is my proposal for my living room:

-craft/dining table needs to be visually light as the space is small
-I plan to have the NB studio sofa do double duty facing the living room or the dining table
-contrasting textures, natural fibers, & everything makes nice with each other
-a few unexpected and bold accessories

The room needs to cater to living as well as running a business in a small space so I think clean & simple is best. What do you think? I'm excited to see Nate bring his approach to living beautifully to his new show. I'll be watching on September 13th!! Now listen Nate...about those sold out pieces...

Thanks to MoggitGirls for spearheading the Nate movement and to CreateGirl for dreaming up #nateday. It was easy to be apart since the "Oprah cutie pie" also happens to be pretty darn talented. Check out the list of bloggers participating here.
