So this is my plan for the foyer...I still have to pick the wall colors. I might leave it white, or paint it canary yellow or kelly green.

The Foyer

Ever since I've seen apartments in Flatbush I've noticed that alot of them have had beautiful foyers. I myself have never thought I would have a foyer let alone a one bedroom. I made it my goal that when I moved from the last hell hole that I would try and find an apartment that it has a foyer. As you can see I found an apartment that has not just a foyer but one with beautiful arched doorways and a built-in shelf! I immediately knew that I wanted the foyer to be inspired by a painting either by the beautiful primary colors of Fernand Léger or Piet Mondrian. I have two inspirational paintings that inspire me for my foyer.

Composition No. 10. 1939-42. by Piet Mondrian
and...
Les Belles Cyclistes, c.1944 by Fernand Leger

Apt. 5G

I have finally made my 30th birthday goal come true! I have found my dream apartment in New York City! I have bided my time in my shitty studio and low and behold I found a beautiful one-bedroom two blocks from where I used to live in Flatbush. I am starting this blog to chronicle my journey in decorating and making the perfect home for myself. I may not update daily, weekly, or even monthly. This is purely a personal home diary. By no means do I expect anyone to read it but if you somehow find yourself on my blog and if you choose to read it, follow it, or come across it by chance I hope you enjoy it. This blog is for me to collect and keep track of all the ideas I have in my head. I may from time to time borrow the format of other blogs that I truly admire such as Apartment Therapy, DesignSponge, Making It Lovely, Design to Inspire, and of course my favorite Domino. Feel free to share your comments and ideas with me. I am open to everything. Now, for the tour...
