This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the Brooklyn, NY apartment of DIYer and home owner, Meredith. Her bright, sun filled 600 square foot co-op feels much larger than its true size due to the high ceilings, bright color palette and accent pieces throughout her home. I'm especially excited about Meredith's house tour since she lives in my neighborhood and her apartment is almost the exact layout of my own. Meredith also has an amazing collection of mid century pottery, which I can truly appreciate, thanks to my years of studies in the ceramics field.
Today I am going to show you how to achieve Meredith's colorful yet calming look using elements found on Etsy. You can view more photos of Meredith's home and read her interview in the House Tours section on Apartment Therapy.
