My Apartment - More Process

Dear readers, my apartment has been undergoing a transformation. I've been filling it with color, but also trying to open it up and streamline.


BEFORE
Just a few weeks ago I was in the mood for white. I still swoon when I see all white places. I love covering my sofas in sheets, It makes for very comfortable lounging. I hope my place is Bohemian, and welcoming. Friends are not afraid to put their feet up.
AFTER

Using more color than ever before! And love the green! How surprising.

BEFORE
Though a great idea, I grew tired of the room divider. I wanted to open the space up, and I didn't want so many things in this area. I've always loved bedrooms with just a bed in it.
AFTER
This is the bedding my mom bought. Thanks mom! I like making my bed casually, again so friends feel welcome to lounge.

BEFORE

My papers are organized, but I don't like looking at all that stuff!


Look what I found Saturday at a garage sale! The guy gave it to me for $5.00. I guess my anti-Ikea vow is over. This piece is a marvel in balanced design. I've been wanting airier shelving for a while.


I couldn't help styling it with some of my vases. A wall of two or three of these shelves would be cute.

AFTER

Much more streamlined. Since I live in a studio apartment, I am very cognizant of seeing everything all at once. It's a great exercise in discipline.
