Home Sweet Home

With my move just 9 days away, one thing I am very excited/nervous about is living in my own apartment.  I have had roommates for as long as I can remember so this will be the first time that I can decorate however I want!  Exciting? Yes. Expensive? Yes.  I have manged to get through life without needing a bunch of furniture (my roommates always had couches, tables, entertainment centers, etc). I have a bed, dresser and bedside table and that is basically it.  I've been stalking Pinterest images of cute apartment decorating ideas and thought I would share them with yall.

The Bedroom
I have a beautiful quilt from Anthro that I bought a couple of years ago.  As much as I love it I just can't make it work with my stuff.  This time around I want to do more neutral colors with my comforter/bedding with pops of color thrown in somehow. My giant dresser and bedside table are teal so I'm playing with a color scheme that's teal, red and gold.  This changes every time I see a new picture of a bedroom.

Love how they mixed prints with the ottoman and the rug.

My dresser is a little darker than this one but look at how pretty those gold accents are!

Living Room
I can't really decide on much until I see the layout of the apartment but I know I want a very light color couch and a ton of colorful throw pillows.  I LOVE bright colors but I always think I am so bad at putting them together.  I tend to think a kindergartener could live in my rooms with the color schemes I put together in my head!

I love everything about this from the fireplace to the mantle, that pompom garland and bright yello frame!

Love those poofs!  This is a little too black and white for me but I really like the arrangement of those picture frames on the floating shelf.

This is pretty much perfect.  Neutral base, pops of color but done in an elegant way.

How did yall start decorating you homes?  Did you start with things you already had or did you start completely over?
