15 Must-Have Desk Accessories for Women

Kara Thompson — Sun, 10 Oct 2021 19:00:45 +0000

With work from home becoming the norm these days, it’s absolutely crucial that you have an inviting and organized desk space. Before Matt and I moved into our Brooklyn apartment, we lived in a one-bedroom apartment on the Lower East Side. When I left my corporate job and started working for myself full-time, it got hard to separate my work life from my personal life without having a dedicated office space. This is all to say that I’m beyond thrilled to finally have a home office. Whether I’m writing blog posts, editing photos, or working on the newest collection for my candle brand Hotel Lobby Candle, I find that having a comfortable and inviting workspace is essential to productivity. I like to keep my desk area simple with just a few essentials and some decor […]

15 Affordable Home Decor Pieces My Interior Designer Recommends

Matthew Stevens — Mon, 06 Sep 2021 00:25:00 +0000

Furnishing a home certainly isn’t cheap—which is something that I’ve learned first-hand throughout the pricey process of decorating our new apartment. Plus, with the seemingly infinite number of options available online, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. I always find it challenging to tell if something will look cheap in person, particularly when I’m judging based off of a few product photos from a website. But with the help of my fab interior designer Megan Hopp, I’ve realized there are plenty of affordable home decor pieces that actually look high-end, despite being at a lower price point—as long as you know where to search. Megan is a wizard at this kind of thing. Since she works with clients of all different budgets, she has an encyclopedic knowledge of the marketplace, and she knows which furniture and […]

Brooklyn Apartment Tour: Inside our Hotel-Inspired Living Room and Kitchen

Danielle Cohen — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 19:54:26 +0000

If you’ve followed me on Instagram for a while, you know that I’m obsessed with hotels. More specifically, I’m obsessed with fancy hotel lobbies. (So obsessed, in fact, that I even launched Hotel Lobby Candle, a luxury home fragrance line inspired by scents at the best five-star spots around the world.) When Matt and I bought our Brooklyn apartment last year, there was one thing we knew with absolute certainty: we wanted our home to feel like the ultimate escape. As I started to brainstorm design ideas, it suddenly dawned on me—what if each room was inspired by a different hotel? Like…how cool would that be? So we decided to do it. I knew immediately that our living room and kitchen would be inspired by one of my all-time favorite hotels, The Miami Beach Edition. […]

Tulum-Inspired Bedroom Reveal + Sneaky Storage Hacks to Maximize Space

Danielle Cohen — Sat, 02 Jan 2021 03:20:56 +0000

When it came time to design our bedroom, I knew I wanted a space that felt like a serene retreat—and I couldn’t stop thinking about the breezy, boho aesthetic of hotels in Tulum. It’s funny how personal style changes so much over time. I used to hate anything “boho.” In my last apartment, the vibe was over-the-top GLAM. Nearly every piece of furniture I owned was mirrored. I had a velvet tufted bed with matching velvet curtains, a lucite/acrylic vanity, and a massive, colorful pop art painting as the focal point of the bedroom. It was all…very extra. Then, when we moved into our current apartment, I decided I wanted to go in the complete opposite direction. Lots of white, lots of neutrals, very understated. (Except, of course, for our Beverly Hills Hotel-inspired office.) Throughout […]

Home Office Reveal + Expert Tips On Designing the Perfect Workspace

Danielle Cohen — Wed, 09 Dec 2020 19:54:35 +0000

When Matt and I bought our apartment last year, the thing I was most excited about—more than anything else—was having an office. (Matt, on the other hand, was most excited about the in-unit washer/dryer…a true NYC luxury.) Our old apartment on the Lower East Side was a one-bedroom, so when I left my corporate job and found myself working from home, things got tricky. I resorted to using our dining room table as my “office” and constantly dreamed about what it would be like to have a work space that I could call my own. Suffice to say, once we moved into our current apartment, I couldn’t WAIT to get started on the office design. From the very beginning, I knew that I wanted it to be a little…funky. I’ve always been inspired by the […]

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! (Well, technically an apartment but whatever)

Lindsay Silberman — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 19:02:15 +0000

Wow. It feels SO GOOD to finally be able to write this. I didn’t want to post about it until we officially closed on our new place, because—as it turns out—I am EXTREMELY skeptical when it comes to this kind of shit. Like, I don’t think I even allowed myself to get excited or believe it was happening until we had all of the paperwork signed. I’ve never done this before, and I just didn’t want to get my hopes up until I knew with 100% certainty it was the real deal. However, as of July 15, it is now officially *the REAL DEAL.* We are homeowners and we move in a WEEK. WTF! Anyway, I feel like I should back up a bit and give you the 4-1-1 on how this all went down… […]
