Posted on Tuesday, February 7th, 2012 at 8:34 amEverything is still a mess and I had to email these pictures to myself from my phone since I can’t find my usb adapter.
The top 3 are from the old apartment and the bottom 3 are from the new apartment. It looks the same because it was the same builder!!! We did our own accent walls in the new apartment — it had bare white rental unit walls.
Some new purchases are the ladder shelf, since we lost the shelving in the dining area which I loved for picture frames. And we have a new ladder desk that is on it’s way from amazon.
Oh and we lost pantry space (but gained a storage closet) so I bought the Ikea island for $60 to make some extra room in the cupboards.
My next purchase will probably be more area rugs to make the place feel less apartment-y. It’s a rental condo (just like the last one) but the owners haven’t invested into making it feel “homey” like our last place so I’m glad they let us paint. I’m reading a lot of apartment therapy blogs! but most of those apartments are hardwood floors.
