Freshen up your apartment this spring!

Spring is an excellent time to freshen up your home. Can’t afford to completely redecorate? It’s not a problem. Changing a few key items can transform your tired space into a triumphant space. But it needn’t cost the earth. Changing your bedding or your bath ensembles can give an entire new look to a tire design. Here are a few of our favorites:

Anthropologie is having a tremendous sale on some of the most beautiful bedding. The lovely “Pinwheel” bedding collection would be prefect in either a traditional or modern home. Currently half price! 3 locations in Manhattan (85 5th Avenue, 375 West Broadway, and at Rockefeller Center)

Restroration Hardware provides a wealth of stylish and classic designs for living. The beautiful boutique, located at 935 Broadway is a favorite. We love the stunning “Italian Pintucked Sateen” collection which features your choice of blush, sky blue, or celery details paired with rich chocolate and crisp white background. Perfect for classic or modern designers.

Bed, Bath, and Beyond can’t be beat for just about anything for your apartment. With 3 locations in Manhattan (620 6th Avenue, 410 East 61st Street, and 1932 Broadway) and a huge range of house wares, this is a must shop for New Yorkers. This month they feature a huge range of bath ensembles (shower curtain, bath rug, towels, and accessories)

This spring, update your bathroom with one of their stunning ensembles. Pieces range from $9.00 to $40.00 and you can generally transform your entire bathroom for less than $100.00!

The “Dahlia” collection is crisp and feminine, without being frilly. This modern pattern with big dahlia prints in pinks and yellows and greens will brighten up any sophisticates bathroom.

Want more drama? The “Sweet William” collection features stark black and white contrasting modern floral silhouettes. The cascading pattern of the shower curtain ($29.99) is fresh and dramatic without being too feminine.

Tired of the flowery bath sets? The “Grooming” ensemble is a stylized set featuring retro man’s grooming accessories. Pale blues, golds, and grays give the ensemble a fun and funky feeling without being too masculine and over powering.

Retro isn’t just for the boys, the “Tres” ensemble is one of the most feminine and fun sets ever. Featuring glamorous images and embellished with ribbons and powder puffs, this decidedly feminine collection is perfect for the glamour girl.
