Apartment: Before & After

When I first moved into our place, it was a full blown bachelor pad- which was totally 100% fine! Derek had lived there an entire year by himself. Luckily, we were able to score awesome furniture pieces from his parents which as been fabulous! Over the past few months, I have slowly been pulling together the apartment. I have put together a short "Before and After" of trying to get this apartment together, and I think I've got it! We went for a clean look full of color that flowed from room to room since we're in such a small space. I think it has worked out nicely and definitely makes our apartment a "home".

{Small bulletin board is a canvas I ended up not using for a project. Covered it in a cute fabric, and pin up weekly recipes, a calendar, and wedding announcements for the summer. Also made the pennant banner and topiary in here!}
{New kitchen table, a color coded book case with monograms, and a home-made chalk board spice up our dining area!} {A monogram red S and fun fabrics tie the colors from the rug in with the rest of the room. A fun free printable eye-chart gives it a "Future Doctor" feel. Our National Geographic magazines and antique lantern remind us of our hopeful future travels of the world!}
{Fun painted chevron art, simply elegant lamps, and a clean, crisp white bed have an inviting feel every night we snuggle in.}
