My new apartment is a cross between a one bedroom and a loft, so I thought I’d share some of my inspiration for my new living space with y'all today. Let me know if you'd like to see a full apartment tour! Some of the things you'll see I already have some version of, and others I'm still sourcing. I'm always on Pinterest looking for new inspiration, so follow along over there as well!

STYLED BAR CART

One of the items I already own is a gold bar cart. It's currently holding a ton of glassware and alcohol bottles, but I'd love to make it a little more stylized for its new home. Curating the bottles, glasses, and barware to be both beautiful and functional is one of the next to do items on my list.

LARGE MIRROR

A large mirror has been on my list for so long now. It probably stems back to my dancer days, when an entire wall of the studio would be mirrored–I think I'm subconsciously trying to emulate that! Every mirror I find, I'm like "nope, not big enough." But the issue I've been running into most recently has been that big mirrors are expensive. Especially if you want any kind of frame on it! I'm keeping my eye on a few thrift shops for one, but no luck yet.

WORKSPACE

In my last apartment, I was lucky enough to have room for an enormous desk–I actually used an old door as the surface! While I can't devote that much real estate in my apartment to a desk, I think a smaller one will work just as well. Not as much room for working on large scale projects, but since I've graduated from art school there have been less of those anyway. 🙂

LIVING ROOM

I have been looking for the *perfect* pink couch for months now, and I finally found one...but by the time I went to purchase it, it was completely sold out! I was really disappointed, but then I found this gray couch from World Market, and I’m obsessed with it. It’s actually much nicer than the pink one I was going to buy originally, and it’s both adorable and comfortable, two key elements! I’ve added a couple hot pink pillows to it, and I’m on the hunt for a bubblegum pink throw blanket to snuggle up with.

You’ll probably be seeing more home decor and furnishing posts on the blog in the coming months. If you'd like a full apartment tour or have any suggestions for the kinds of posts you’d like to see, drop them in the comments below!
