Project Townhome: The Rug is down, next up: COLOR!
an update on Mr. O.'s project:
If you'll remember we decided to find the rug for the kitchen first to narrow our choices for paint/accessory selection. Surprise, surprise when this monochromatic deal of a rug stopped me dead in my tracks and said boldly, 'I'm the ONE!' {no, it isn't weird that rugs talk, don't lie to me and tell me something hasn't practically jumped off the shelf into your arms and whispered sweet nothings to you all the way home.}
We both had in mind something with a bit of red in it, but this one leaves the door wide open on selecting the perfect red for the walls. Benjamin Moore's Caliente might be the very red, selecting colors is next up on our agenda.

side note surprise: His roommate is a graphic designer and I was so impressed with the composition of his photo collection he was nice enough to let me have a picture to remember it by.
What's Your Walkscore?
Thanks for asking! We're quite proud of our Walkscore. One Main Street Condos has a stellar Walkscore, 91 out of 100 to be exact.
A Walkscore is based on how walkable your address is. How close are transit, grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, movie theaters, schools, parks, libraries, book stores, fitness, drug stores, hardware stores, clothing and music to you? Phew! That's a lot of conveniences to have so close. Since we're talking about One Main Street Condominiums, those things are all under a mile away, definitely walkable. In fact, it's labeled a Walkers' Paradise. Ahhhhh...the good life. Come home to One Main Street in Bellevue and see how wonderful having everything a short walk away can be.

Friday Faves
Friday again? YAY! It's been another week and we here in New York went from about 5o degrees to about 20 in two days. It's been quite a strain for us New Yorkers; we're oh so sensitive. Anyway, I've been discovering so many incredible new (to me) designers this week and you must take a look, too.
I love McGill Design's work; it's polished and elegant. This little nook in a sitting room is especially peaceful looking with a little bit of ikat flair in the pillows. How special is that window?
Gianetti Home is a designer I learned about from La Dolce Vita blog. I find this room extremely calming with all the different whites and ivories. That's quite a unique headboard though and the obvious but subtle focal point.
There are so many reasons why this one caught my eye. The stacked books, the Greek key throw pillow, the mercury glass lamps, etc but I love the blue and white color scheme. By Sally Steponkus Interior Design.
I have a lot on my plate for this weekend. I'm doing my usual math homework, going to the NYIGF (SO EXCITED!) for the first time, and also entering this awesome give-away contest on Style Beat. It's a chance to win five, yes five, different interior design books, all of which I want. I might own at least one of them already but I still want it again, is that wrong? Is anyone else going to the NYIGF? Well, bundle up, it's going to be a cold one this weekend.
