Sorry I have been a bit slow on this monthly feature. Its been a really busy week. I have been working on creating new blogs for friends and clients. ps: If you would like a blog, banner and buttons designed, please keep me in mind. I offer very reasonable package options starting at $60. I am setting up a site dedicated to this but until then if you are a new blogger or just looking to refresh the look and style of your blog, email me mochatiniblog{at}gmail{dot}com.

Now, back to inspiring interiors. This eclectic living room was featured in the latest issue of lonnymag.

Designed by betsy burham for a client, I love the unexpected pops of color and the accessories used which add so much character to the room. And I want the GORGEOUS hermes tray!

interiors; living rooms

by manvi on February 4, 2010 · 2 comments

I am getting a bit tired of seeing all white rooms everywhere, arent you? With spring (slowly) approaching, I am excited to play around with more colors.

Slightly serious for my taste, I like color palette in this living room. The greyish blue rug and cushions with earthy browns all harmonious brought together by the painting I also like that the chairs are on casters allowing hassle-free rearrangement.

The first thing that caught my eye about this chic living room was the beaded silver throw cushion on {left corner of} the couch. I have the exact same ones on my couch. I found in them on my last trip to New Delhi. I also have a black and white throw cushion similar the one of the far right corner, as well as a similar couch and coffee table. That got me thinking about how easy it would be for me to recreate a similar look for my living room. I love the pairing of a cool color like grey with warm mustards and creams and mixing in black and white. And how stylish is the barbara barry cocktail table? It makes for an inviting yet chic social area dont you think?

ohh! I enjoyed your comments on the living room featured yesterday. I cant imagine that room working for many.

A sharp contrast to that in every way, what do we think about living room dolls?

While a bit dark it somehow works for the space. dont you think? I especially like the round moroccan tray table and the rugs.

I was going to start with another living room but decided to hold off on that one for a bit.

This upper east side living room is not the kind of style I usually blog about. It takes itself a bit too seriously and while I like the pops of orange, I still feel it lacks character. Its not just the monochromatic furniture, all the pieces are stylish. I guess I find it elegant but slightly boring. I dont mind the monochromatic furniture because most of the pieces are stylish. It doesnt seem like a fun room to socialize, I would be worried sick of spilling or staining. It also needs a shot of energy.

I would love to spend time reading in such a room though. What do you think?

interiors; city apartment

by manvi on January 11, 2010 · 3 comments

I imagine my nyc apartment to be like this one. Architectural details like high ceilings, huge original windows, and brick walls are a must. white floor would be nice. And just like these pictures, it would be sparingly furnished with unobstructed views of the city.
