Pommette, I know, I have scoured the internet and there's one rug with a South Western motif that has a deep/bright yellow background. There are also shag rugs that might be close in color but, we don't want shag (or South Western.)

We have a blueish/black sofa and think it would look so striking next to it.

I have searched the internet for a yellow area rug (5 x 8).
We're looking for a sunflower yellow (that orangey deep yellow color) area rug.

I bet it'll be all the rage next year:)

Any ideas??

Thanks.

Totally do-able.

Get used to ear plugs when you sleep and you'll have no problem. Also, dim the lights if someone is still watching TV at bedtime.

When it comes to decor I suggest "less is more." Donate a lot and put some stuff in storage. A less cluttered space is soothing and the more organized it is, the easier it is to navigate with two people and a pet.

If you two are respectful, kind and open to each other, it'll be great (and fun).

Good luck.

>>I'd suggest getting angle brackets from a hardware store and painting the "wall part" your wall color.<<

Thanks, that's a good idea.

I just placed this ad in the classifieds if anyone is interested or knows anyone they might pass it along to.
I'd appreciate it.

It's the Westelm Modular Bookcase. It's great looking but, doesn't fit in our space and we'd like to sell it. It's brand new.

I'm also wondering if anyone has any suggestion about how to hang the floating shelf properly since it's drooping slightly with the screws that come with it. That's why I was requesting suggestions for brackets.

Thanks.

we purchased a "floating shelf" at west elm. it's sort of drooping--not exactly floating.

we'd love to just place brackets under it like the top ones shown above. simple & modern.

besides the links that "true blue" offered, does anyone have any other suggestions?

i tried the internet & home depot and i swear, these are the only really simple, modern brackets.

thanks.

I'm sure Josh enjoyed all your constructive criticism after pouring over...what?..50k plus into his apt.

And I'm sure more people will be happy to post their renovations so, they can get negative feedback as well.

For someone who's never renovated before, probably doesn't have a subscription to dwell and isn't a designer, he made some nice, clean, handsome design decisions. He'll love living there and will enjoy adding personal touches to it as he does.

I guess the old adage is true, "If you don't have anything nice to say...say it anonymously on the internet." I believe that's the saying:)

I believe that Josh will add personal touches as he lives in the space.

Good looking renovation first, personal touches to come.

There are always ideas to be gotten from everyone's apts.

i grew up with this table in my parent's living room.

i've loved it since i was little.

my mother purchased it at Altman's department store on 5th ave & 34th street in the late 50s.

she doesn't know the manufacturer.
