hey guys, lauren here again

thanks for the support :) i also don't really understand the need to be mean - constructive criticism does not equal insulting.

as for the furniture, yeah, i've tried a ton of different arrangements, and any time the couches aren't against the wall, the apt looks really cramped - there really isn't the space for that. i think the solution would be to get a small three-seater couch and a chair instead of two loveseats - they take up way more space than they look like they should.

and thanks for all the boot compliments! the reason i have my shoes and boots out is cause i love them so much - putting them away in the closet would be like putting my art in the closet.

and unfortunately, i'll be moving out in 3 weeks, so this place is as nice as it's gonna get. i can't wait to get started on the next place (where i can paint all i want!)

p.s. perlsoho is one of the most amazing places ever!

hi everyone, lauren here.

to all of you sweet commenters, i can't actually paint the apt, unfortunately. if i could, i'd probably go with a blue like the one yesterday, or a lavender. and i totally agree with you about the couch and rug. this is what i've been able swing so far, but imagine a bright white couch (with blue walls), or a darker bluish purple with the same white walls. i really think about all of this decorating as a large, life-long work in progress, and yeah, it'll be nice to keep working :)

Pteetsa, the table and chairs came with the apartment. i could check with my landlady, but i suspect they came with the house when they bought it

domesticfashionista, no kidding! after reading some comments on other people's (beautiful) homes, i was starting to hope i wouldn't get posted

insanity_pepper, thanks! i do dabble in art - the lower print above the couch and the drawing above the other couch are mine. i'll probably start investing in frames before i get a new couch or a rug, actually. i care a whole bunch about the prints i have (which are all originals!) and i can't wait to get them archivally framed and all that, so that they'll stay nice as long as i'm around.
