Inspiration Friday: Kate's Apartment

A few weeks ago, I got to spend a week with my friend Kate in Dallas. I thought you might like a peek into her awesome apartment. Ready for a tour?

• Isn't this a cute way to display your books- on a windowsill.
  

• Love the view of Dallas- and sleeping next to an open window in March. :)
  

• 

• Don't you love the red phone and wicker coffee table?
  

• I love the way the bookcases are angled.
  

• Plaid. Couches. Don't you love them?
  

• Julia Child with a little Texas added in. We found this while browsing some shops at the Stockyards in Fort Worth.
  

• Kate has cute little containers like this for her tea, coffee filters, and utensils.
  

• Keys and a cheery apron on a hook by the front door.
  

• A friend of Kate's made this paper star out of paper from Old Navy- super clever.
  

• I love the black, white, and red.
  

• books, paper flowers, movies.
  

• More awesome paper-cleverness.
  

• a row of hooks to store purses. Rather than tossing them on your closet floor, like I do!
  

• The bathroom is all black, white, and pink. Girly, but not too girly!
  

• super sweet shower curtain.
  

• Is it just me, or does it look like Carrie Bradshaw could live here?
  

• I love that the set up is focused on conversation (and books!) rather than a TV. A super comfortable place to hang out.
  

• 

• Here's a little perspective on where everything is. I like how the couch divides the living room from the kitchen.
  

• I took advantage of all that vacation reading....
  

Thanks for the hospitality, Kate! Can't wait till I get to come visit again...
