Apartment Tour: Bathroom

Hey y'all,

So I have officially been in my place for two months now and it is finally coming all together. I am so glad I made some small changes from my last apartment, notably the shower curtain which now matches my new bedspread. It give a more cohesive look, plus I am not really a fan of brown as a color and now have retired that part, however, I am still working on changing out the bathmats (which you can barely see in the photos but are these ones) since they match the shower curtain I had in college. (Please excuse iPhone photos, with the computer still out of commission, posting via phone means no camera to plug in for nicer shots.)

Warning the majority of my decor comes from Target finds as well as Homegoods/ Marshalls/T.J. Maxx finds since I am still trying to live a life on a budget (student loans are not cheap). I hope this inspires you that you can have an adorable bathroom on a small budget.


Overview:
Details:
These are postcards of The Little Prince or Le Petite Prince from France that my bestie, aMl, got me while she was studying abroad.

The small two tier catchall was a clearance find at Target and the Polish Pottery dish I found at Marshalls. It is the perfect way to have all of my essentials without a cluttered mess.
I found both of these quote canvases at Homegoods and they are just so inspiring as I get ready each morning. Each day is a new start and we need to live it in pursuit of our dreams. *Yes I plan on eventually only having navy, pink and light blue towels out but since I don't have guests for a while the brown towels appear before laundry day.

The hook on the back of my door holds my Victoria Secret & UNC bathrobes along with extra towels.

I hope that y'all enjoyed a little look into my home/life. What are your go to decor stores?

The Old Place:Living Room.

Hey y'all,

With the move coming, I thought I should share a few pictures of my current place before it is all packed up. I loved that I was able to spend some time in an apartment by myself but I am even more excited to be living with a roommate again. Coming from a big family and always having roommates in college it was a big change to come home to a place completely mine. So I thought I would share a few pictures of my living room now and I will of course show pictures of the new place much earlier than when I am moving out of it (please excuse the boxes in the pictures as I have already started to pack my non-essentials for the last month.

Overview

Bookcases/Media center

Cedar Chest/Sewing Table(my daddy made it for me)/Reclinder/TV tables

Chairs/DVD shelf/end table
I have never thought of the living room as finished and that is why I never really showed it to y'all. A lot of the furniture currently in the living room will make it into the new place but I am planning on painting the TV table trays and then of course we are having a couch in the new place so we can actually entertain.

The other half of my living room is the dinning room/kitchen. You can see into my kitchen on this post, but my dining room had a card table in it for forever, until my Daddy finished redoing my grandparent's old table. I am still waiting to go to Ikea to finish it off (and ignore the drying rack) but this room is pretty much done, minus the cross and canvases I have for it.

Ikea loves...

Hey y'all,

So I have officially been approved for a new apartment with my future roomie, don't worry I am sure she will be making an appearance on the blog soon, so since then I have been dreaming about what my future room is going to be arranged and how are living spaces will be decorated. We even got a shared Pinterest board going on and I have turned to Ikeahackers.net for a lot of inspiration. The trip to Charlotte's Ikea is in the works so here are a few items from Ikea or DIYs using Ikea items I would love for the new place:

Are there any DIY/Design blogs that you get your inspiration from? What stores besides Homegoods/Ikea do you shop for to outfit your home?

Ps. I went on Random.org to pick out names for the Frat Collection koozies, so lJe, Kate, & Quincy prepare for an email tomorrow!

Birthday Wishes: Apartment Items

hey y'all,

Since I am home spending time with my family for my weekend I thought I would post some more of my birthday wishlist. You can read about my bookworm desires here. This list though is items for my apartment. I am still settling into my apartment I still have some random items I want to decorate as well as some functional things that I think everyone needs in an apartment.

I love tea so this one is right up my alley!

I think this one might be the winner. It has a cute girly flare with touches of pink and green (the colors of my living and dinning room)

I love the summery feeling of this clock but I don't know if it is the perfect fit.

I would love to have these letters from Target in light blue and brown to spell out my name. They would be perfect for the wall in my bathroom.
I need some bottles gifted to me so that I could make this.....
