Most notable in the living room, I replaced three green couches with a magnificent emerald velvet couch and a vintage rattan daybed sofa. After YEARS of searching for a vintage inspired emerald green couch that wasn't mid-century modern, I finally came across the Saxon sofa by Apt2B. A timeless design with low arms, deep plush cushions, victorian legs, and custom made in my dream hue. The vintage rattan sofa was a Offerup score for $250! Balance friends, budget-couch and very nice first-new-piece-of-furniture-I've-ever-owned splurge.
The antique 1930s writing desk was a birthday gift from my dad, it fit into place as though it had always been there, and matches my vintage Indonesian cabinet mirror perfectly. I love the dark wood motif.
So here we are, a year after AT, and two and a half years into owning and tinkering around. I would describe my style as eclectic romantic vintage. On the bohemian side. Not trendy, never mid century modern. Timeless beauty to suit my 1920s home. Aside from the emerald couch, my home is still very basement. I buy very few shinny new things, and much of the decor has come from estate sales.
I'm getting a kick out of how much my plants have grown in the past year since Apartment Therapy... and how many more have come home with me.

This post is such good timing! I'm moving into a new apartment (my first one bedroom) and have been scouring the internet for the perfect sofa. I found the Saxon and fell in love with it, so I googled to see if I could find any pics of it irl and found your blog. I absolutely ADORE this room. I wish I could recreate the entire thing! First, though, I think I'll go with the sofa, haha. Have you found it to be comfortable and a worthy investment so far? I was hoping to keep my sofa budget under $1k, but I just can't get the Saxon out of my mind.
So glad my convoluted search led me to your blog! Going to follow you on all social, lol, and use your space as an inspiration for mine! Thank you!
