What’s better than an organized home, you ask? An organized AND colorful home! If there’s one thing that helps me keep my space clutter free, it’s having a designated place to put items. The more baskets and storage containers, the better– especially when it comes to my craft supplies! In less than an hour, you can turn a simple rope basket into a statement piece for any shelf. Because organizing may not be fun to do, but that doesn’t mean it has to look boring! Here’s how:Continue reading…
Apartment update! We still really need to decorate!
I kept the couch and coffee table from my apartment, but ditched the rug when we moved– and with good reason. The one I had previously was a cream like color, and my god did it shed. Not only was it nearly impossible to keep clean, but it would leave stray white strands all over my navy velvet sofa no matter how often I used a rug rake (yes they make rakes for rugs). If I’m going to have hairs everywhere, it better be from a dog. Another thing I noticed is that when we moved the couch, the sections of the rug under the coffee table and couch were discolored as they didn’t wear the same as the other parts that saw traction. So no more shag rugs for me, no matter how cute I think they are!
I’d really love to involve you guys more in the decorating process, so here are the rugs I’m considering right now for our new place. I could go a few different routes, one would be calming and monochrome with the cool blue tones and light patterns. Or I can go a bit more bold with a bright pink, which let’s face it, is kinda where I’m leaning. Seriously, how good would #4 look with that navy?! But I need your help because when it comes down to it, I’m still on the fence! What rug is your favorite for the space above? Help!

Happy Friday friends! Well I’ve officially lived in New York for a week now and LOVE IT. Between unpacking and exploring it has yet to hit me that I’m actually here to stay and that I’m not just up for the weekend visiting Ryan. I’m sure it will hit me the more the apartment comes together and the longer I’m here though! I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been up to with decorating, but in the meantime, here are some links you won’t want to miss:
