The insider on living on Park Avenue

If you are anything like us, you are obsessed with the slightest thought of living in New York city and even when you hear the words ‘New York City’, your heart skips a beat. So when we found this house for just under $10 million on Park Avenue, we knew we had to blog about it.
Welcome to Park Avenue.
Yes, we agree there are some things that could be fixed up (the kitchen tiles!!) in this apartment but apart from those minor issues, this New York living.

Stylish Recycling

Samantha and I are both committed to promoting a greener future, so of course we are huge fans of this stunning chandelier.  Presented as a piece of art, this champagne glass, chandelier is both beautiful and a great example of recycling. 

Promoting a Greener Future

We just couldn't go past the beauty of this sink. We are both huge supporters of promoting a greener future and we think this is perfect! It is such an innovative, environmentally friendly way to decorate a room and create a nice modern touch.  We love the way that they have used an old tap and matched it with environmentally friendly materials. This is definitely the future for bathroom sinks!

We Love Bamboo Chairs!

These fantastic Bamboo chairs, are a great way to mix up a formal or boring space. They come in a variety of colours and can be spray painted in whatever shade you want. They are both functional and stylish - the perfect combination! They look great both inside and outside, meaning we personally can't get enough of them!

Mix 'the old' with 'the new'

One tip that we can reccomend to all of you is to mix 'old' and 'new. It adds such a fresh touch to a room and makes old pieces look fashionably new. As you can see below, this technique worked well by matching very modern seats with a fashionable light piece above a simple wooden table. Give it a go, we assure you that it will work!

Turtle Shells as art - the Next Big Thing

It may sound cruel, but turtle shells are most definitely one of the newest and most interesting ways to dress a feature wall.  Please bare in mind that we are hopeful  that all the examples featured below, are the shells of turtles that lived long, happy lives and died of natural causes! We hope that people with such good taste in decoration are also animal lovers like us!
