In my new apartment, I have turned to my friend Lilse McKenna to help with some key decorating decisions and lead me in the right direction with the design of the space. While I love to admire beautiful interiors and find new items to covet, I knew I needed the help of a true professional to make the final decisions (I don’t trust myself!) From knowing all the best sources and products, to all the technical details, it has been so wonderful to work with Lilse. 

Right now we are very much in the throws of the decorating process at my apartment. We have decided on the overall plan and most of the furniture, fabrics, etc. Yet, the only visible changes at the moment are paint colors and some wallpaper! The rest of the updates will come in time, hopefully by the fall! 

In the meantime, I am thrilled to share images of Lilse’s former West Village apartment. It is such a colorful and welcoming space! If my apartment is anything similar to this beautiful space, I would be thrilled.  See more of Lilse’s work on her website here and be sure to follow her on instagram!
