The living room

The light, the windows and the arches are my favorite







I like this room more with the couch that I found in the Chelsea flea market. I'm happy about the result of my spontaneous decision-making. Yellow is not my favorite color, but it works out nicely here. It's warm but gentle, not dominating. The couch is long and slim, and can easily accommodate a comfortable nap. It's soft yet solid, with its 60's styling and cold war mystery.

Yellow is far from my favourite colour and yet I have now picked up three separate yellow 'things' for our apartment that have made me really like it for interiors. A set of 6 nubby wool dining chairs were left by someone moving out of our building -- SCORE! Then I got a wooden office chair plus architect lamp in yellow as well that I quite like. You should get some daffodils and when they are peaking it is SO lovely!

BTW I saw somewhere someone complaining about the black window frames often found in NY apartments -- they look SO GOOD here in your place, accenting the lines. I also love your arches, so special.
