AphroChic's Profile

You can go to http://www.foamorder.com/stores.html They have great foam, and you can order custom sizes. I'm about to do the same thing for my sofa. Good luck!

I thank you all for your comments and critique. This is such an important conversation to have. AT was nice enough to say our products are eco-friendly, however, the real focus at AphroChic is on sustainability, and you will see that in our Environment policy. We are focused on limiting our impact on the environment, and strive to do that through supporting local businesses, less harmful printing techniques, having a made-to-order product, and organic options for our tees. As we grow, we will work to develop even stronger environmental policies. While we are not 100% green, at AphroChic we believe sustainability is just as important. We envision a world where every company starts to think about how they impact the environment and to make small changes that can still be significant. Thank you, and so glad you like the beautiful Harlem home we did the photo shoot in!

I absolutely love all of this Philly love! As a Philly girl myself (who has now been transported to San Francisco) I was also deeply insulted by Dwell's article. I am so glad AT spoke up for the city that first helped me fall in love with interior design. Philadelphia is a city full of culture and inspiration. I always remind people that we have the nation's first art museum. The Rodin Museum on the Parkway is one of my favorite places to go. The galleries in Old City are a wonderful view into the new and budding artists the city has to offer. Our music scene showcases some of the most creative singers and songwriters in the business - The Roots, Jill Scott, Musiq! Philly is constantly growing and changing, and at the same time it is a city with deep roots and a history. That's why I love it there. Thank you AT!

Yokie, thanks for mentioning Seydou Keita. I just looked up his work, and must start a collection soon. Absolutely amazing photos!

Can Michelle and I be BFFs? I LOVE her style - from J. Crew to Anthro. You go girl!

Hi Everyone!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I am so glad that people love what I've done with my apartment.

So, I saw some questions about where things are from:

Chimay, the feather medallion is a Cameroon Juju Hat. I ordered mine from AfricanArt.com. They are fantastic to work with, and got me the specific color I wanted. I would definitely order through them. You can also find Juju Hats at Room & Board.

Manys, the coffee table is from West Elm. I got it a few years ago. Their floating coffee table is very similar.

Bemyescape, the print of the girl in the yellow top is from one of my favorite artists, Dallas Shaw. Her work is fantastic. Check it out here www.dallasshaw.com.

Thanks for your comments regarding the African art. It was important for our place to avoid that safari style. I hope to build up an even better collection through world travelers. Some of these items were bought through one of my favorite etsy shops, Blue Belle Bazaar http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5034485.

CitiApartments is into price gouging and is unsafe. I was looking for an apartment for my mother here in San Francisco. She is on a fixed income, and we needed something affordable. CitiApartments was requesting three times the cost of rent to move into the apartment. The deposits are insane, and definitely not reasonable for those who are "financially troubled". They treated my mother with such little respect. I would never advise using the company.

I absolutely love this post. What wonderful inspiration.

I love this! Functional, sustainable, and very chic. I think I'll order two or three.

Since it's the holidays, hollyberrys sound absolutely delicious! I would absolutely love this kit. With the allergies that I have and asthma, Method products have literally been a life saver.
