Minimalist dreams

Last week, I shot an apartment so clean and minimal that I spent this past weekend purging hundreds of old magazines, props I no longer use, and anything that didn't have significant sentimental value. The problem is that I really enjoy and appreciate "stuff" (from ceramics to shoes to misc. home tchotchkes), yet I have this ideal of minimalism, and the two parts of me go to battle with each other often.

Below is the beautiful TriBeCa apartment of a former coworker and her roommate. They really have a great eye and the aesthetic of the place resonated well with my own. And that coffee table is actually a DIY!

  10. I am the very same way. I absolutely hate clutter... but I also love books and paintings and mugs, which really add up and create chaos. This is a gorgeous space... makes me want to redecorate!

  12. Your pix are getting better. I see you've gotten rid of the white hue for the past couple posts. It was time for it to go, too precious and out of style.

  13. Ahhh~ What a perfect set of photos. I'm constantly torn when it comes to interior favorites.. My place is becoming more eclectic because of it. Minimalist though, so beautifully styled, is heaven.

  14. I have the same battle between minimalism and a love of stuff. The stuff I keep around me always is full of meaning and memory, but there is a relaxing feeling about minimalism that lets me feel free. If you ever reconcile the two, let me know how you did it!

  15. what a gorgeous home! definitely a minimalist dream but i love how put together it looks and how each elements works off of each other.

  16. love this apartment! Great photos!

  17. yeah but where do they hide all their crap?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I agree, there's something so beautiful in these type of carefully curated (not sparse) interiors. With all the clutter in our lives, it's an oasis to come to an empty home. I loved my house when we first moved in and there was nothing but wooden floors and walls, but now it's all buried in clutter!

  30. Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.

    I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.

    I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).

    Reasons I chose them over the others:
    1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
    2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
    3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.

    How did they do it
    1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
    2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
    3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
    4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
    5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
    6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.

    My Experience
    I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
    Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
    Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!
