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.

Design on a Dime: Living Room Inspiration

Hey y'all,

I don't know about you but I love watching HGTV shows about interior design. I am itching to decorate my apartment but as a postgrad with school loans, a car payment, and other expenses a full makeover is not in the cards. However, a sofa is my next purchase once my tax return comes in. Now as a girl on a budget my favorite places to shop for home decor would have to be Homegoods/TJ Maxx/ Marshalls and Target. I wish an Ikea was closer to me but I am thinking that I will make a trip to Charlotte this summer since I think Ikea couches are the best for my price range but any suggestions are welcome. Here are some of my Pinterest inspirations for my pink/green living room. I want to keep the couch pretty neutral and make the pink and green more as a pop/accent color.
