I have mentioned that I have moved a lot in the past few years, and this time I have promised myself that I am going to truly make my apartment feel like home. This is something I feel like I have done halfway in all of my other apartments, but this time I am determined to finish every room the way I want to! I have no excuse, this apartment is tiny (two rooms, three if you include the bathroom, which I don't) and shouldn't take more than a six months to decorate fully.
In order to keep myself accountable and also to remember to update you all on the process, I have decided to post my master list here on my blog! I will update this list, adding things and crossing things off as I procure them. I'm sure I'll also think of tons more to add as time goes by. It will be a slow process as this is a pretty big list! I plan on trying to keep everything really inexpensive though, hopefully a ton of DIY projects! Thank goodness for Pinterest, right?

You put bookcase twice in the top list =p I'm surprised you manage to find time to blog these days because this all sounds overwhelming..keep up with it!
ReplyDeleteDo share the DIY projects when you get them done =)
Your apartment sounds like it is going to look awesome! I did a little bit of reorganization over the holiday break, added a bookcase and a new computer desk. Even the smallest changes made a surprisingly big difference. I sense that you're a lot like me...when I have my apartment nice and organized I'm much less stressed. Good luck and keep us updated!
