Apartment Living

Mixing it up just a little today because I'm trying to avoid shopping online for clothes and shoes. (gasp!) I know, I know- don't be worried, it's just temporary but any little bit of less clicking helps my soul and my wallet.

Why am I being frugal you ask? Well, the BF (he wanted his title capitalized) and I are moving in together! Yay! Very exciting. As I'm sure you know moving is filled with unforeseen costs and charges plus the expected fees like movers, the big grocery shop, etc. So, that is why I'm attempting to curb my online perusing of fashion wants and needs.

That being said, let's have some fun with apartment design today! Woohoo! Here are some of my ideas for the new abode.

Blik, Nessa Headboard, $40
How cool is this vinyl decal headboard?
Ikea, Akurum, $59
Storing shoes is been a source of anxiety for me for years now. I have a lot of shoes, and I don't believe in throwing them in the bottom of my closet. Currently I have an over the door shoe rack which is ugly and very dorm-y. Enter the perfect shoe cabinet! I will be buying a couple of these and having the BF put them on the wall in the bedroom. The I will decorate them with these:

Blik, Iron Vines, $60
I'll put these decals on the cabinet to make the storage artsy and functional


Just Wine Racks, Oenophilia Bali 12 Bottle, $59
It's ok to be so totally jealous of our new wine rack. It pops with color and is modern. Love it.

I love our dinner plates. The orange pops against the yellow (hard to tell in photos). The plates aren't super heavy and best of all they were reasonably priced!









Crate and Barrel, Orange Vista Dinner Plate, out of stock
Crate and Barrel, Loire Yellow Plate, $4.95

Crate and Barrel, Party Tumbler, $0.95
And how could I say no to these glasses? So fun!

Got ideas for me? I'm always looking, let me know!
