Back to Reality

Now that me and the boyfriend are home, it's time to get back to reality. I'm currently waiting for some school news/ searching for a job just in case. And paying off the last of my bills from the apartment and a lingering credit card debit from this most recent surprise trip home. But other than a little stress, I think we're both ready for new adventures.

I'm also ready for my own place so I can decorate...finally!
I could easily finish reading my book, "Shopaholic ties the Knot," on that couch.

If I didn't have my gorgeous, loving boyfriend...I think my living room mayyyyy look like this! How fun!

OHHH! and don't forget to visit my mother's NEW Etsy shop! It's rather small right now, as she's still starting up, but she would love everyone's support and feedback! You can also request custom designs and items! She even does the CUTEST shabby chic dog beds!


(and yes...that stuffed animal of a dog is our doggie Daisy)

The Living Room

My first battle with my new spacious abode is the living room. I have a large, hardwood living room that is currently less than livable. We have an ugly big, TV and we bought one tan suede armchair that is very versatile and would work well in any space. A large cream-colored couch that is rather dated and very uncomfortable takes up a large portion of space. Other than that we have nothing.

I want to do something very fresh, bright and relaxing. I'm think hydrangeas.

We're not allowed to paint the walls but I'm feeling a collection of mirror tiles. I have very large wall to fill up, and I am also considering fabric as an alternative to painting. I am an artist and may do a collective piece to fill up the large wall.

I'm on a mission to find inexpensive furniture to refurbish(being the fabulously resourceful college student that I am) I'm dreaming of a crisp white coffee table, with candles and a floor lamp, to provide softer lighting.
