sex and the city inspiration

sometimes late at night i watch old episodes of sex and the city. every once in a while i catch something that i hadn't seen before - an outfit, a pair of shoes, or in this case a glimpse of carrie's apartment and her amazing, organized, magazine collection.


lucia and i keep all of our european magazines and some others that are just to fabulous to throw away and i happen stumble upon a pretty great sale item at the container store yesterday.


these guys are only $4.99 each which i think is a steal and just as cheap as ikea. pair a handful magazine files with this bookcase and call me a happy girl.

i also love that she has framed art propped up agains the wall on the desk. its a great design tool to make art seem less formal, or just to rotate pieces you love more often. and don't forget that "art" doesnt have to mean the next degas - everyday items that are framed (maps, postcards etc) add a great personal touch!
