Space-spiration

It's funny how much you get wrapped up in your own neighborhood when living in New York City. It gets to the point where if the event, party, or dinner you're invited to isn't walking distance from your building, you find every excuse to skip it and stay around your local hangouts. I've been living in the Upper West Side for about two and a half years now - jeesh the time flies in the this city! - and I have loved every second of it. Coming from the chaos that is Soho, I never imagined falling in love with such a quiet pocket of Manhattan that is populated by baby strollers, multi-million dollar brownstones, and little, old ladies pulling grocery filled carts... Honestly though, I have loved living on the calmer side of this city... even if it has aged me by at least ten years!

And just when you start to get comfortable you know it's time for some change! In less than two weeks I'll be packing my small apartment and moving to a more palatial space in a new neighborhood of the city... I say palatial but just remember this is New York City so really I just mean there's actual walls within the apartment and a separate living area besides the bedroom. If you follow on Instagram - @trendstyled - then see the sporadic 'space-spiration' photos I post of some of my favorite interior designs. So naturally, I'm super excited to be starting with a new slate and getting to redesign my space... If I wasn't taking silly photos of myself in the streets of NYC, then I would definitely be doing something in design or architecture. So now comes the fun part, shopping for new pieces and researching new design inspiration! I'm going to attempt to keep business as usual on here but if a couple days go by without a post then know, I'm either sweating my way through my move or attempting to give my new space an overhaul. Of course, I'll be posting during the entire process over on the gram so make sure you follow @trendstyled!
