woes of decorating

decorating has begun! i have "settled in" my apartment...i.e. i have clothes pretty much everywhere (i am organizing it so don't worry....its just that the rate of growth in clothing > rate of growth in my cabinetry....stagnant).

room pictures and its advancement into what it is now will be posted soon! once my sister sends me the photos x(

so to compromise with my roomie, we started off by going through each room and deciding what was needed. so far we are planning on...:

1) go to bed bath and beyond and purchase futon covers for existing sofas we have
2) consider a room divider
3) wall decor for dining area/living area/hallway (front and bathroom)
4) bathroom decor (there is some interesting shower curtain there that her mother bought...sorta looks too modern...and i am a boy type thing but i am not a boy so i dont like it that much.)
5) side tables and lighting

my room is still going under construction. i have pretty much all my stuff here. walls are still bare and the front of the room is crying out for a long mirror and some coat hooks. but we need to be adventurous and drill some holes in this place. but its an apartment...for rental....so there are some fears there.

here are some items that i have purchased!

masha d'yans canvas - courtesy of urban outfitters - price? 50$ my price? 24$
(it was from the back and a little crazy-ed up...but i fixed it...go me!)
this will go somewhere. no clue but i loved it.

---PRETEND PIC---

owl prints for the hallway! (pic to be displayed)

JA? Letters courtesy of urban outfitters . price? 14 bucks each
these will be going up at the door entrance!!! =)



lampshade . courtesy of urban outfitters . price? 10 bucks

so if you can't tell by now. we went to urban outfitters today to get a couple of things

i have also gotten a............CAKE PLATE! very exciting as i LOVE cakes. I got a cake plate where there is ribbon weaving through the buttom. very chic.

--pretend theres a vase pic here--

my mac is down so its not as easy to get pictures up =(

i got a pretty vase (green with blue middle) from anthropologie

anyways....thats pretty much what we've been doing this past week. settling, going to work and making the money that funds all this and then going out to stores to decorate.

areas of exploration..next? Ikea, Williamsburg Brooklyn, BBB (again xT), TJ Maxx which has wonderful stuff sometimes, and random stores in Brooklyn
