Big Girl Apartment

Monday, April 27, 2015

Next fall, I will be moving yet again (seriously, it's not like I enjoy moving!) so naturally I'm already thinking about decor. This next place will be all by myself, so I have full design control and I'm so excited! Today, I'm sharing some ideas that I'm already thinking of...

I love this fun and easy way to add color in the kitchen. Definitely will have to do this! (Source)

There is something very sophisticated about the look of a bar cart as a shelf, especially here as a desk addition. I'm also picturing it being a cute entry way table? We will have to see! I'm hoping I could find one at a thrift store for cheap... (Source)

The complex I'm moving to comes with all white walls (blah!) but they do allow you to paint as long as you cover it before you leave. I love this one bright accent wall here, and I will have a similar sized wall I might could recreate this with! (Source)

I already have a vintage trunk, but it's black and I'm feeling like it might be time for an upgrade, so I have plans to paint it a different color! (Source)

Speaking of color, I am of course also thinking about the color palette. I already have a yellow rug , a light tan side chair, and dark brown wood dining set. I love the idea of navy, but I also like the idea of more of a cornflower blue, cobalt, or even a periwinkle tone. But then I saw these pretty pastel colors, and I realized that I always gravitate towards the more bright, bold colors, and maybe I want to challenge myself! I'm not 100% sure yet, and I know that lot of it will be driven by what accessories speak to me when it's finally time to shop! (Source)

I'm excited for this next adventure in my personal design. Growing up I have always been excited to have a "big girl" place of my own and now it's happening for my last year of college! I will of course keep you all updated as things progress, but thinking about next years apartment has definitely been a nice creative break as the semester comes to a close. Just a few more projects and tests to complete this week, and then I will be done with my third year at FSU!

Happy Monday!
