I dream of... Decorating my new ATX apartment


I've recently moved from Los Angeles to the great city of Austin, TX and I'm in love with my new place! I'm still waiting for the movers to deliver all of my furniture, so in the meantime (and to try to contain my frustrations with them in a creative outlet instead) I am channeling decor inspirations. Do I go the rustic/Southwest route like so many of my design peers seem to sway here or do I stick to my contemporary/ flea market style I've used in the past? Here are some great photos I've found:

From Bailey McCarthy's Austin home on Design Sponge
By Madison Modern Home
Emily Henderson's room on Apartment Therapy
Kiera Kushlan's D.C. living room on Design Sponge
I am definitely coveting this rug for my bedroom!
Loving this coral color especially with the turquoise pop
Cute little dining table and yellow chairs (mine are blue though)
A bar cart is a must for the new home!
Very cozy living room
I'm looking forward to scavenging around Austin for great pieces. Here is a link to the Design Sponge's Guide to Austin... it has stores, museums, and great restaurants to check out if you make it here: http://www.designsponge.com/2010/12/austin-design-guide.html

Whatever visual direction I choose to go, I know I will enjoy my new home with my lovely roommate and all of our pets (two cats and a dog!) Home Sweet Home, y'all!


I may just have to make one of these!
