Badass Home Tour - Lauren of Studio Sven

Last week, I was talking about how much I love a black statement wall in the bedroom. This week check out this killer dark wall in the dining room! I love the feel of this room - cozy, glamorous, vintage, modern and interesting. Lauren from Studio Sven was featured on Apartment Therapy for her beautiful home that mixes antique and modern items. I was blown away with the style mix in every room and had to share. There are even some IKEA pieces in the mix that I challenge you to find, because she does an amazing job of using the method usually used in fashion of mixing inexpensive and expensive things to pull of a high end look.

Since I've started doing DIY, I've compiled a list of projects that I want to complete. So far, it's made up of tufting headboard (check), reupholstering a chair and revamping vintage clothes. Since sewing is a big part of the two items still on my list, I have been dying to learn how to sew. I got a sewing machine for Christmas and after seeing this outfit from Rag & Bone's FW 2012 campaign of Kate Moss by photographer, Craig McDean, the revamping vintage clothes has jumped up to the top spot on my DIY to do list.

I love the mix of faux fur with the vintage floral sleeves, and its got me excited to go thrifting once I'm back in New York. If anyone has any recommendations on great thrifting shops - please comment them below!
