Randal and I are pretty cheap by nature, so naturally we have a hard time spending money on things that don't seem vital to our well being. A symptom of this is our "eclectic" apartment. Recently I have been sick of living in a home that screams student, especially since neither of us are in school right now. Thankfully we are moving up to a 2 bedroom, newly renovated apartment that is too cute for our current style. This has lead to my biggest/most exciting challenge yet! I plan to decorate our new apartment with a budget of $1000!
My wish list is growing everyday: new couch, entertainment centre, chair, patio furniture, area rug, head board, bench, kitchen table and chairs, ottoman, funky wall art... This is going to require some creative budgeting on my part, but I am up to the challenge. I have a few ideas flowing right now, most involving refurbishing/refinishing some pieces I already have (which should spread the budget a bit further).
I plan on buying a nice slipcover for my couch, possible one like this in Chocolate Brown:
And cover the couch is pillows like this, and these:
I absolutely LOVE slipper chairs and have being coveting some that I saw at Urban Outfitters, and some other really cute ones at Target.com like these.
I really like yellow, I think I am going to use it as my accent colour. A good fit for a California apartment no?? I am pretty much so excited, and can't wait to move so I can get started on everything. Look for lots of before and after posts to follow!
