It's All In the Details

Now that I think I've found an apartment I have been looking for decorating ideas like crazy!  When I look at all of my friends' places the things I always notice are the small details.  Sure they may have big statement pieces that are amazing but I always appreciate the little things like the cute coasters on their bar cart or the funky wine rack that is hanging in their kitchen.  I've rounded up a few ways to add small but creative details to make my apartment exactly what I want.

Framed Light Switch Covers

I'm not totally sure how they got the frame to stick to the cover plate but I think this idea is adorable.

Decorative Drawer Liners

I'm not crazy about this pattern but I want to do cute liners in my kitchen.

Not Your Average Shower Curtains

I have always had plastic or vinyl shower curtains (ever since I saw the scene from Psycho, I get a littler nervous) but I think in my new place I want a fabric one for sure.  I like that this one is split into 2 even though I don't think the black and white matches this particular bathroom in the photo.

I don't like the colors of this curtain but I like the way it drapes.  If I can find a couple of cute hooks this might just work.

Add Color In Unexpected Places

I love the idea of adding color to my apartment by spray painting my curtain rods.  I have no clue what I'm going to do about curtains but I do know that my curtain rod will be the cutest thing ever!

If yall have any decorating tips for me let me know.....I need all the help I can get!

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?

Fabulous Fall Decor and DIY

What is it about Fall that makes everyone want to start DIY-ing and decorating everything? Today I thought I would share some of my favorite fall decor.  PS if you make any of these projects, it's only fair that you make 2 and send one to me :)

Every year I say that I'm going to make this little guy but it hasn't happened yet.  How cute is he though?

Fall Door Decor

I love everything about this.  One day when I'm a big bad adult I'll have a cute porch to decorate.

Trick or Treat

I love that owl looking down on the room.  Plus I think this look isn't as cluttered as some other mantles I've seen floating around Pinterest.

I'm hoping I'll have a new apartment in time to get some cute Fall/Halloween decor up.  Do yall decorate for this season or save it up until Christmas?
