If I had my dream apartment

So the place I'm moving into on July 1st is pretty teeny. It's studio apartment with a walk-in closet and hardwood floors. It's pretty updated, the kitchen is cute (kinda narrow though) and there's tons of nature light that comes in from this adorable courtyard. I have to start thinking about organization because of how little space I have. My current (lovely) queen sized bed is going to have to go and is being replaced by a twin bed my boyfriend is so graciously letting me borrow.

I was at work and a coworker suggested that I look on Pinterest for ideas about decorating and organizing. The whole experience made me wish I owned a mansion and had infinity money but I had a lot of fun picking out things I'd like to have in my new place. Not all of it is reasonable but, a girl has a right to dream right??


OK so I'm totally starting out with a set of things that I could...and yet couldn't have in my apartment. I have a little space for a small breakfast table just like this and those drapes would look amazing on my windows. I can sew (sort of) so making similar ones myself wouldn't be too hard. That tablecloth, UGH, too adorable. The photo looks like it was taken in a trailer though. Very homey. I love this style!



I'm in dire need of a desk! I'm writing this post on my desktop computer with the keyboard and mouse on the bed with me >.< I was going to be extra crafty and partially destroy one of my dressers to make a desk out of it but....this is too cool! The biggest window in my place is a perfect spot for this...but then you would have to think about glare...hmmm. Still, excellently designed in my opinion.


A slightly more practical work area. I could never be this organized, no matter how many strategically decorative file folders I have. Does seeing excessively organized things make anyone else feel really at ease? If there was a person that would organize my crap for me, I'd never have to stress about anything!



More with organization. The idea behind this is using the baskets as containers for small clothing items like undies and socks so you save space in dresser drawers. This is great for me because I take up four drawers in the three small dressers that I have with just my under things, socks and flimsy sleepwear. The closet I'm going to have is pretty huge and I can see myself letting the mess inside get out of hand. Things like this would definitely prevent that from happening.

This is all I feel up for sharing right now, but take a look at my Pinterest Album to look at some of the other things I've looked at and drooled over. Also, if you have any ideas for me, certainly throw them my way. I'd love to hear your ideas about decoration and organization!
