Recipe for a good day:
One volunteer day cleaning up a park for Junior League with your besties?
You want me to move these plants AGAIN?
The Playground Improvement Project is one of our signature NYJL projects — as an organization, we choose one park every year to beautify to make safe for the community. This year, it was Marcus Garvey in Harlem.
Afterwards, not surprisingly, we stopped for a beverage or two.
$32 at a restaurant for a bottle of wine? Um, hell yeah! We went to Corner Social and sat outside.
And then…on the way back to the subway, there was a Marshall’s. We’ll just dip in for a minute. This can’t be dangerous after a few beverages, right?
Well…
I did get some good stuff for my apartment at amazing prices.
I already had this pillow, but got this throw yesterday.
My apartment is still very much a work in progress, but here’s a few more updates.
I love my Lilly coffee table book — their print studio releases a new design every day on social media, and many of them are in this book. Unfortunately not all of them have made it to dresses yet.
And a peek into my bathroom:
Also can’t find a link to the rug (also got at Marshall’s yesterday!), but here’s the shower curtain.
I’m getting there! Still looking for: rugs, lamps, a new duvet cover…and tchotkes.
OH! AND PRO TIP: I found Jack Rogers for half off at Marshall’s in Harlem.
Tell me your fave places to pick up home stuff!
Love the shower curtain!
Home Goods and Housing works were my go to when living in NYC! { some proud DIY} projects came from Housing Works!
So great about volunteering at the Park!
Your apartment is looking good!! Hope you’re having a great week <3
