My Apartment

Apartment Life

So… I have moved into an apartment! It’s not the largest, but I love it. From a previous post you can read about all of the crazy nerves I had about coming here, but you guys honestly there was no need. So my four bed room two bath came with the basics, washer-dryer combo, a refrigerator/ freezer, dish washer, as well as a coffee table, 4 bar stools, a couch and an arm chair. When I came the walls seemed a terrifying shade of white and the rooms where drab. Slowly we are getting the apartment to a place that we like. We hung a tapestry where a TV is meant to be, we hung pictures, fabric, signs and of course a ton of candles. This place is beginning to feel more and more like home so with subtle changes we are covering those annoying white walls and making it a fun inviting place for my friends and me.

  

So this is the island, we wrapped it with fairy lights and it brightened up the apartment a lot.

This is our little seating area and a side table. It has books and in this pick a book called “Cannibals and Cult Killers”.

Here’s our entertainment area. We have our movies here, a printer and board games (when we watch movies we’ll move our television out here). The cake pan and dome are from a neighboring Goodwill, the candle holders where a birthday gift from my mother. My beautiful roommate brought the elephant and that tapestry and I do not know where they are from.

I got this sign today at TJMaxx. I love Edgar Allen Poe and this sign made me think of his poems. I purchased it and my roommates were kind enough to let me hang it in the living area.

This is my room. I got the bedspread on Etsy, the sheets at Target and I found that fabric in my home. My friend made the canvas for me and I am obsessed with it, it says “Far Away Is Never Too Far For Friends”.

My bookshelf is made of crates that my mom brought from Zurich. The lamp was from Target and the fake candles are from Marshalls. The books are on top, then school supplies and finally my art supplies and my little skull.

This is my study area. I have a “Post It” calendar, a dry erase board, a clipboard, my printer and an article to remind me of how lucky I am to have the opportunities I have.

My closet is covered in mirrors and I hate that from my bed I can see myself. So I covered it with my bad ass poster.

Here is my guinea pig Edgar Allen Pig in his new habitat.

My door like all things here is all white so I covered it with an amazing “The Fault in our Stars “poster.

Here’s my balcony. We have two lawn chairs, citronella candles to keep the bugs away and a yoga mat for our feet. One of my roommates smokes so we wanted to give her a nice place to sit and a great place for us all to hang out with our friends.
