Manhattan apartment

Interesting living spaces don't happen overnight. The items in this room were acquired over a period of approximately 30 years. My grandmother's leather-top end table just happens to match my husband's faux bamboo nesting tables! Collect items you are in love with over time and you'll be surprised at how well you can put it all together. I realized, over the years, that I was drawn to Asian art and antiques, and that I love the color light blue (in the hydrangea, silk pillow and planter). Home Goods rug. Stickley sleep-sofa. 56" cocktail table from eBay. Domain mirror... and the authentic antique Chinese gong... 200 bucks from a Long Island antiques store.
