a house warming

As a kid, I constantly rearranged my room. Not much has changed. Having the right environment is really important to me, especially when I work (design, read, paint, etc.)  So I'm mapping out each room in my new apartment. This is a mood board for what I'm trying to do. Because I don't have a lot of furniture (I'm missing a dining table, coffee table, chairs, etc), I'm hitting up all of Milwaukee's antique stores to find a few vintage pieces. I love metal and wood mixes—it adds a lot of character and warmth, especially since I'm not allowed to paint the white walls.
