My friend Piper recently posted pictures of her new home. Made me jealous because it's so clutter free! It looks wonderful!!!
So now I'm on a mission to declutter our home. I've been putting away things that just don't really have a place of their own in our one bedroom apartment. I've decided that I will definitely be replacing our current bookshelves with the tall black ones I've been debating. I was going to get rid of the light wood ones I have now, but a friend suggested I paint them and keep them.
I want to always keep a lighter green on our bed and so I'm thinking of painting them green and definitely getting rid of the cardboard backing. I think it'd be a nice accent.
As well, we finally replaced the ugly, uncomfortable futon. Our new couch turns into a bed as well though so that my sister has a comfortable spot to sleep when she comes to visit in a few weeks! It's not a long term couch though. It was super cheap. I'm thinking it will be a spare room couch eventually for our office/guest room.
I basically want to replace everything we own. I most definitely appreciate people giving us stuff, but I'm ready to pick my own style now. Ever so slowly, we are finally starting.
Computer? Check!
Futon? Check!
Up next? I have no idea. Probably the rugs... Those are cheap and easy to replace!
If I only I could just win $5,000, but I have no luck with contests. :(
too bad this isn't facebook so I can "like" this ;) post pictures when you're home is finished :o) i appreciate you thinking our home is cute :o) i just look at it and see what else can be done haha. Your last sentence is funny because I was just thinking yesterday that I wish I could win some contest so I could buy all the decorations and extra things that we need for the house lol
ReplyDeleteI will definitely post pictures when it's done. But that may not be for another year or so haha. Maybe I'll focus on one room at a time and post pictures that way. :)
ReplyDeleteBut yes, your home is way cute! And I like the decorations you do have! :)
