Changes for My Studio Apartment

Hello friends and happy October! I know the lyrics say that August slipped away like a bottle of wine, but I feel the same way about September. Today I posted a reel showing off my apartment, but I wanted to come on here to share my plans for the apartment because I don\’t know if I\’ll every be finished decorating! 

The first thing is here in the kitchen: Above the little hooks where I keep my mask collection and my keys, I want to put a bulletin board. Right now I\’m working on painting the trim a green to match my couch. But I\’ve gone back and forth on whether or not I want to paint half of it to be chalk board. I change my mind about it daily. Also in the kitchen, I have this large blank counter space. I don\’t know if I\’ll ever do anything with that.

The next section is the area about the kitchen. Ideally I would do a mirror wall about the tv, but I haven\’t found any mirrors. (I say I haven\’t found any because I would like to find them secondhand.) Because the mirror idea isn\’t really working, I\’m thinking I might do a flower wall? But similar to the mirrors, I\’d like to find the flowers secondhand. 

The next work-in-progress is my gallery wall. This wall is one that I plan on forever adding to. All but once piece on the wall are secondhand are upcycled. So it\’s not finished but I\’m not sure it ever will be. 

The next thing is this lampshade. I have an upcycle attempt coming up that I will document. Otherwise, I would like a deep green lampshade (in the same color all the cork board trim and the couch). I bought the fabric this week!

Right next to the lamp is my desk. And it needs help. Maybe I\’ll add another cork board? Maybe one of those wire wall hangings that I can clip things to. Maybe it\’ll just stay like this? 

That last area that I have plans for are the bathroom. I would like to find a basket to put on top of the toilet. Or maybe some kind of art to put above the toilet. Right now it\’s kind of boring… And I want it to feel nice when I go in there. 

I hope you all enjoyed the little tour that I gave on my Instagram 🙂 Hopefully one day I\’ll film a more in depth tour to put on Youtube that will include where I got things! 

Much love,
