We are unexpectedly moving in the next 6-8 weeks and I have a lot of mixed feelings about it since I am a vigilant planner and this came out of left field.  The management company that runs our building is doing a massive renovation in the next year and redoing every single apartment.  Ours happens to be in the first wave of this project.  We received an October 1 eviction notice a couple of weeks ago and have been scrambling ever since.  The good news – we got our applications in first for an apartment currently undergoing renovation RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL from our current one that will be ready on, you guessed it, October 1.  I am so, so, SO excited for this brand spanking new apartment.  We were able to tour a similar unit that had just been completed and the work that has been done is amazing.  Living in this new apartment is going to be an absolute privilege.

I of course have lofty decorating plans for the new apartment that will take  a while to execute due to budgetary constraints.  (Naturally along with this beautiful apartment comes a not so beautiful hike in rent.)  Never the less, a girl can visualize and dream and I have been doing a lot of just that.  While we won’t be able to do anything close to a full makeover when we move, I have a definite direction that I want to take this apartment in that I like to call Mod Rough Luxe.  This Mod Rough Luxe of mine combines natural elements like wood, wicker and greenery along with modern lines and subtle luxurious touches.  Without further ado…I give you my Mod Rough Luxe inspiration.
