Decorating the Apartment

Well hello there, strangers :) I know I have been MIA for way too long now, and I just want to say that I am sorry.  I absolutely love blogging, but honestly- it just takes a lot of time that I don't seem to have.  I also think since I am on my computer alll day long at work, I don't really get on my laptop at home anymore, which in turn means I'm not blogging!  Anyway- enough talking about that...let's get on to the exciting stuff.  I wanted to do a post to show you all some of the decor I have been working on in my apartment.  I change things around pretty much weekly, so nothing is ever the same but I thought I would show you all some of it as it is now!

Decorating to me is an addiction, and like I said, I am always changing around how things look at home.  I also am constantly checking home stores like Marshalls, HomeGoods, Target, etc. to try and find something to add to the madness.  It's just too fun to stop!!  Anyway, I hope you enjoy and get some inspiration from some of the things I've done around here- enjoy :)

Coffee Table Arrangement


Dining Table- bowl from Ikea, balls are handmade by moi, chairs from Target

Life motto: monogram everything! towel from Ebay :)

Another apothecary jar and necklace display from Michael's




Love these girls!  They are drawn by Inslee, I printed them myself and framed them.  They are hung above my jewelry

Paisley print on my quilt (TJ Maxx)


Love my sister!  Vase and flowers from Ikea, frame from Marshall's






Love this space.  Table was found on CraigsList for $20- we painted it ourselves, chairs from Target, bowl from Ikea, mirror from Hobby Lobby.  Wall was painted by moi- just a medium gray color. 

Better picture of coffee table:  Flowers done by me, all supplies bought at Michael's half off.  Book from Amazon, I am a tad bit obsessed with Lauren Conrad.  Tray is from Marshall's.

Love this wall in my living room.  Decal is from WelcomingWalls on Etsy, flowers are Umbra wallflowers (bed bath and beyond) and I just placed them randomly until I was happy with the end result.
Sorry the pictures are not the best quality, the sun was going down as I was taking these so my apartment was getting darker and darker.  Anyway- hopefully you can get some ideas for your own place!  Send me pictures if you all do some decorating of your own :) Until next time...
