but anyway, back to emily. sister is kick ass. her new show, which will debut next week via a one hour long special and then legitimately debut later on this year, focuses on the idea that you can take someone's wardrobe and style their home accordingly. i am big on this philosophy - i like to think that upon entering my apartment, you can see how i dress. for example, the metallic pillows on my couch mean that i love things that sparkle. the large white shag rug means i love the seventies. the candles everywhere, coupled with the deep colors? i love me some bohemian rhapsody, both sartorially and musically.
anywho, above is the living room emily designed for her second to last challenge. it was her penultimate design (god i love that word), and it is FABULOUS. i wouldn't want to live there - but emily, who loves vintage clothing - would. what i love most about emily as a designer is that she makes all of her rooms feel full. not cluttered, mind you - there's a big difference between full and cluttered. but emily understands how to make an interior feel not just livable, but lived in. she creates the rooms we all dream of showing off, the kind where you get to say things like, "oh this old thing? i picked it up in bali a few weeks back?" and "that chair? it was grandma ruth's - i just threw a coat of white lacquer on it."
do you love emily as much as i do? you can keep up with her via her hilarious and inspiring blog, the brass petal.
