Clutter

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. :(

  2. I 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. :)

    But yes, your home is way cute! And I like the decorations you do have! :)
