The Newlymeds have recently moved into a new apartment. We had some items from our old apartments to work with, but this was the first place we were moving in to TOGETHER.
I had to explain to Doctor J that this was a grownup apartment, since we are now married. Being married makes you a grownup right? There were lots of decisions to be made confounded by differing opinions, but 7 months later we put the finishing touches on our living room. Here is the progression:
Step 1: The couches have arrived. (All the way from Nashville, thanks Aunt G and Uncle J!) This picture was taken pre-pillow fluffing.
Step 2: The Hanging of the Jazz Fest Posters. Since we met at Tulane this was art we could agree on.
Step 3: The rolling out of the taupe carpet. After searching high and low I (I mean we) finally settled on this carpet from Restoration Hardware.
Step 4: An impulse purchase by Doctor J. He said since I got to pick out all of the china for our wedding, this was his "consolation prize".

Newlymed note: Let your significant other pick out at least one item, so they feel like they were involved in the process! 
Step 5: After 2 years of searching we finally found and agreed upon a coffee table. This was the finishing touch to our room.
And to put a spin on things Doctor J surprised me by hanging the below chandelier. I was not so sure how I felt about surprise home decor, but it is slowly growing on me. So here is the finished product, ta da!

I love the chandalier! Great work!
also, an orchid is a great investment if you want a flower you dont need to water often :)
Thank you!! There is an orchid on my left window! I agree :)
niiiiiice
So pretty! Looks great!
Love the Fest posters. We have a painting from Nola in our kitchen. Apt looks great, best of luck.
Good choice on the taupe carpet. It complements the couches. Guess you are a fan of jazz judging by the posters that are hung on the wall.
apartment for rent in makati
Ha ha ha, I pretty much do the same thing with my husband...letting him choose something. But I usually let him do that after I've hammered in the total effect I'm looking for, because he sadly has some pretty skewed tastes!
