As many of you know. I finally got an apartment in Snowmass Colorado. It is 3 blocks away from my office and I am so so happy to finally have my own place. Here is the thing: it came furnished.
I know what you are thinking, that is a great thing! and yes, it is! But for an "obssed about design" person like me, having someone else's taste on decor in the home I always dreamed about is not that awesome. The landlord wouldn't take his furniture so I had two options: rent a storage unit or deal with it. I did not want to put extra money on top of my rent every month for something that is really not necessary so I opted to deal with it.
I'm going to be making little changes every month to make sure I don't go crazy and spend more money than I have on decor. Here is the first little change I made.

The next thing I wanted was some matching picture frames. I wanted to get different sizes but the same color. I wanted, also, to match the planters since they were going to be hanging next to them.
The Ikea Riba frames in white were my choice:
