one // two //three // four // five // six // seven // eight // nine Would you be surprised if I said we were possibly (most likely) moving again in October? It’s been a thing the past couple years so we figured why not?! Actually, it is for a number of reasons, but looking for something a little bit nicer and a little bit quieter. I would explain more, but I’m afraid I’d bore you with stories of stolen trash cans, people breaking into the underground garage, and numerous police sightings near and around our building. I already went too far, didn’t I? Oh well!...

IKEA Finds

I finally had a chance to make it to IKEA the other night, which was wonderful because going during the week is much better than fighting the crowds on a weekend. Anyway, I’m actually glad I didn’t make it there before because I know how this would have gone down if I went the week after we moved in: I would have bought a ton of stuff that didn’t work with the rest of the apartment or that we don’t have a place for. Waiting until now has allowed me to realize what areas of our apartment need more...

Home Decor Wish List

Interior Design

We are still settling in from the move (after a busy week before my sister’s wedding and a week where both of us got sick), I am finally starting to hang some things on the walls (okay just two pieces, but better than nothing)! As we start to organize and I’ve become more acquainted with the space and feel of our apartment, I have started making a huge wish list in my mind of what I’d like to add to our new home. But just like with fashion, home decor and furniture adds up quickly, so I like to...

Moving Snapshots

Lifestyle

Wow. I did not realize how much time it takes to get settled in after moving (or maybe I’m just getting old 😉 )! But just wanted to share a few snapshots from moving and settling in over the past week. The mess at first… at least Emma seemed to be enjoying the new place and not bothered by the wood laminate floors! She’s doing great now. We have a ton more kitchen cupboard space, which I’m thrilled about. We don’t even have a lot of kitchen supplies, but our cupboards were always so crowded at the old place. With...

Interior Design

If you find your apartment to be drab and boring, maybe it’s time to reinvent your living space! Everyone has a personal style. Even if you don’t consider yourself much of an interior designer, you can still...

Put a Frame On It

Interior Design

There is no doubt that framed images, posters, art or anything for that matter (have you seen how cute the idea of framed shopping bags is for your closet?) can make a room look incredibly chic and modern. Last night we just put down a deposit for a new apartment and I couldn’t be more excited! It has a much more modern look and feel than our apartment now and has wood floors, so I am already thinking about how to decorate and what to do differently. One thing I would LOVE to do is a gallery or art...

Decorating Your Apartment on a Budget

Interior Design

It can be difficult to find affordable ways to decorate your apartment or home, even when shopping at lower price home design stores or on places like Craig’s List because it all adds up and might I add pretty quickly too! Don’t even get me started on how much lighting can cost whether it is lamps, spot lights or ceiling lights. We have been wanting to add spot lights to the top of our kitchen cabinets for some time, but at $25 a light, it just didn’t seem worth the price or effort of installing them. Our solution? Christmas...
