At Home with Hallie: New York Apartment Tour

Ever since I made the move to Manhattan, I’ve gotten a few requests (demands, actually — and mainly from those related to me) to give you a little tour of my New York City apartment.

While it’s still very much a work-in-progress, here’s a sneak peek of my humble abode:

how to style a room divider, what to put in a room divider*If I played footwear favorites, these 3.1 Phillip Lim booties might take the cake.

There you have it! Next on my spring cleaning list is organizing that closet, which might a two-person job with my friend Beth (a professional organizer). Any tips for making my little studio look oh-so-stylish?

  1. I love how you display all your shoes–pretty things deserve to be seen! I’m moving into a new apartment this weekend, and I can’t wait to do a tour on my blog. I always love seeing how people decorate their spaces–especially fellow NYC peeps!

  2. I was really excited for this post too — which I suppose is semi creepy that a stranger was excited to see your living space, but who doesn’t love to see stylish spaces?! The shoes on display is probably my favorite part! That and the hardwood floors, super jealous you can rent a space with them and beautiful white walls — our apartment is tan on tan on tan, but we’re the first people to live in it, so at least we know it’s clean!

    • Thanks, Kodi! You know me and shoes… Haha, I don’t think it’s creepy at all. There’s something fun and lighthearted about peeking into someone’s home. We all know everything about each other given social media, anyhow. Mad blogger love, lady. 🙂

  3. The photographs look great! Nice job. I am in love with those red Alice & Olivia heels! I’m sure my closest is MUCH worse than yours…total disaster! I’ll be tacking a total redo this Summer, and covering it on my blog theyearoflivingfabulously.com. Good luck with yours, look forward to seeing it! -Marie Vlasic

  4. LOVE this idea so much I might have to borrow it! Although that would require me to get my place in order… blah! 😉 So glad you bought those shoes. I knew they would be worth it!!

  5. I absolutely love all of these detail shots!!

    I was thinking about my upcoming move last night and was thinking about your apartment (creepy? idk.) and you BY FAR have the best apartment I’ve been to in New York. Just throwing that out there. I’m seriously obsessed with it. (#whydidntimovetoyourbuilding #ourliveswouldbesomucheasier #sorryisuck)

  6. That vase is INCREDIBLE, and so is that lamp!!! Also, I love how you display your shoes & make them into art (which they are, of course). I need to come over for a visit soon!

  7. Gorgeous! I love these sneak peeks! Living with a boy makes it so much more difficult to have a pretty apartment lol, but I am determined to add some creative touches when we move to a new place over the summer. See you soon I hope?

  8. Shoes are art - that is a fact. You’re place is super stylish and cute, but then again, I didn’t expect anything less! Hope the big city is treating you fabulous!

  9. Omg thank you for the sneak peek! Love your style and it is only fitting that your home would reflect the same eclectic mix of girly/edgy/cool.

    Btw, totally jealous of that view you have of nyc!
