Interior Dreams Part II

Awhile back I shared some other home decor inspiration photos when I was planning on redecorating my apartment back in NY. With all the changes going on, and the fact that I eventually made the decision to move across the country, I obviously put that project on hold. Of course I planned on translating that inspiration into my new apartment, but that would require repainting the yellow walls. At first I was completely gung-ho, but after living with it for awhile (and the fact that it's already filled with furniture) I've decided to incorporate in to my new design.

So here are some new photos I've pulled from around the web...

I love the combination of black white and yellow - and there is even room for a pop of turquoise here and there.  Back in NY I lived in a studio apartment, so I was leaning toward a more serene feeling since I had to sleep in there too...lucky me I now have a separate bedroom so the living area can handle more drama!

Here are some pieces that I've picked out to complete the room.  (Now all I need is a job so I can afford to buy them!)

Stow Onyx Leather Storage Ottoman, $149
Linea Jade megan stick table lamp, 4.50 GBP
PLASTICLAND - Black Baroque Oval Picture Frame, $24
Milliken Black and White Rug - Rugsusa.com
Teardrop Glass Accent End Table | Great Furniture Deal
Burlesque Bar - The epicentre of Melbourne burlesque
Kristyna Bonded Leather Stationary Sofa with Button Tufting by Coaster

I already own those exact end tables, and I have ottomans very similar to those featured.  I also already have a white couch, although it isn't as pretty as the one above, and desperately needs a slipcover, but it'll do for now.  Currently I have a zebra animal skin rug - and I love it - but I really want to put it in my bedroom - I thought this chevron rug would be fabulous too and have an even larger impact, print wise.  

I also look forward to finding some inexpensive ornate frames (new or old) that I will paint black and give a glossy finish.  As mentioned I will also add some pops of turquoise in items like the lamp pictured and probably a pillow or two as well. 

So...what colors are featured in your home?
