If you've always wanted it too (I can't be the only one), then here are the 'Monica must-haves', for very reasonable prices.
The Colour
You can't have a 'Monica' apartment without the 'Monica' colour. Or as Dulux likes to call it, Pure Orchid. (no kidding)
The Couch
Having a white couch is a great way to tie a room together; especially an eclectic collection of furntiure like this. The Karlstad Sofa modernizes the look a bit, but it still very similar to Monica's.

The Artwork
The artwork above Monica's TV certainly stands out in the apartment. The 'Aux Buttes Chaumont' can actually be found on ebay.ca. You can choose which size you want the print in and the price just varies!
Great find.
The Kitchen Chairs
Before it was a 'new fad', it was classic Monica. Mismatched dining chairs look awesome, enough said. There's a great Antique Mahogany Chair that I found on Kijiji for an insanely good price.
Flea markets and thrift stores are smart ways to find them if you want to stay in your immediate area. There's a flea market in St. Catharines every Sunday, or check out the Salvation Army or Goodwill store.

Last but surely not least...
The Picture Frame
One word: Amazon. The Picture Frame sold on amazon.com is a replica of the one on the back of Monica's door. I just ordered one, so you probably should too. You can't go wrong with the price.
Heather, I am obsessed with friends!! so if it's not too obvious, thank you for this! Will blame you for my soon to be empty bank account!
ReplyDeleteI love Friends! I even did my grade 8 speech on the show. I was on a school trip for the series finale and I faked being sick so I could stay in the hotel and watch it, there was no way I was missing it. I alway wanted my "grown up" apartment to look just like Monica's so thank you so much Heather!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really fantastic blog idea and the actual design is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI remember in one of my labour studies classes the professor actually going on a rant on how its impossible that Monica was able to afford this apartment - considering it is huge and in lower Manhatten I believe.
Great article!
