Spotted! One of my favorite patterns on Apartment Therapy


So here I am, taking a break and scrolling through inspiring apartments on Apartment Therapy. (My usual.) And I come across Nicole & Aaron's Paris-Inspired Loft. Of course, it's the typical "love at first sight" with their bright colors and eclectic decorating taste. Then, I see it:



Recognize it? It's the same bright, bold, floral pattern on the quilt and pillow I use on my bed. (I purchased the set years ago at T.J. Maxx... as a little redecorating gift to myself during my internship days at Better Homes and Gardens with magazines Do It Yourself and Storage.) 


It's my favorite-ever quilt. Even though it was a bargain at T.J.'s, I take great care of it because I don't know what I'll do someday when I have to replace it. I don't even sleep with it on my bed anymore. It gets folded up and set aside with all my pillows. Will I ever find a quilt I love soooo much? I have my doubts. So without further ado... here it is in my bedroom currently:


Have you ever spotted something you own in an Apartment Therapy tour - or even in a magazine?!

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

Blair's Room | Gossip Girl Decor

Manhattan's debutante Blair Waldorf happens to be my favorite Gossip Girl character.  Her behavior and feelings vary from snobbish to sensitive, but she always (except for a few rare occasions) looks and acts totally pulled together.  Her luxurious bedroom is fit for a queen---and is as pulled together as her preppy fashion ensembles.
