My birthday is Sept 10


So I'm still thinking about stuff for the apartment. And I have always loved these egglings. Wild Strawberry and Lavender being my favorite.


And these coasters just rock.

And in case anyone was wondering... my birthday is Sept 10.

Still working on a hostel in Athens. Bed bugs freak me out!

My apartment is rediculously hot this week. Sso perhaps I shall loose some weight from all the sweating I'm doing just sitting here!

Radiator


The radiator in my bedrom.

I had to register my trip with school the other day. It was quite silly, but since I'm getting credit for it, I had to do it. Fill some forms, agree to abide by the Student Code of Conduct. I'm not even sure what is on that any more. Moral of the story is that I can't get myself kicked out of Europe or I don't get credit.

Phototime





My real cute living room. Sam loves the rug. He runs real fast and slides on it. Sometimes, when I'm gone all day, I come back finding the rug all bunched up in a corner.


The view of the living room and dining room. It's a real big open space.


The dining room looks so sad since I don't have chairs or a rug. The one chair I do have is on loan from James.


This lamp is super sweet. When you pull it, it gets lower


My kitchen


These things my mom bought and insisted I had to have. I'm not really sure what they are


Fantastical salt and pepper shakers from chinatown.


So I like orange bedrooms. It may be my favorite room in the apartment. And is always way cooler than the rest since I don't have a/c.




watermellon-esque bathroom. In the afternoon mad amounts of light comes through the window making it seem super bright.

So there ya go.... Apartment Photos!

Moved in!



So I'm finished moving in. I still really really need dining room chairs though. last weekend, I had to draw on the floor, which made my tummy hurt after a while. (not to mention that my drawing wasn't as fab as I had hoped) Sam seems to love it. So much space to run around and he's a cute little window kitty. My little buddy.

Live


the sofa before


the sofa after... super cute!


This is the chair that will be done next. To coordinate with the sofa, of course. Looks like my living room is all set to be green, which will look nice with the green astro-turfed picnicy dining room.

What I gots

Today, I bought the little hooks that I want for my apartment. I bought two white ones. The guy at the register didn't even wrapp them though! soo annoying!




These are the things I do have. A bed, dining table, and a little ottoman. The mess is a fantastic touch, don't ya think?



My mom went shopping for my apartment. She didn't get any furniture, but got some funny orange things that I don't really understand. So I guess that's good...?

Bedroom

...the bedroom.
My mom is giving me her old brass bed, that is a double size. So going off of that, and the fact that white bedrooms are elegant, the bedroom is going to be girly and elegant.


When I worked at the Elm, I bought a duvet insert.... but no duvet due to the fact their duvets didn't feel nice. But I really like this one at anthropologie because of the whiteness and the orange detail in it. I think that I won't be able to handle a completely white room, but having orange accents would be fantastic. Naturally, this duvet is expensive. Yesterday, my mom bought me a white duvet set. She tried to describe it to me, but it wasn't making much sense, so, hopefully, it looks pretty.


This rug brings in the orange that I want as well as brown. Maybe, I'll paint the walls orange too. Like I said, I like the idea of a white bedroom, but don't acutally want one.

I definately do not have any furniture (other than the bed for this room). But more than likely that whatever my mom picks up for me will be painted white, like this one at west elm

This table doesn't have the storage that I want though as a nightstand. I need a dresser. Perferably a long one that also acts as a table for stuff and so I can hang this fantastically gaudy mirror that I found at my parents house that has gold gilding on it. Fantastically gaudy. And bookcases. I need bookcases. But those migght go in the living room or something. Who knows.


This lamp is the elegance that I want and think it would look nice with the bed. I have expensive tastes and will never actually buy it, but I like it.


This style of cuckcoo clock has been super popular lately, and I like it too! I do question if the light wood will look ok in this room.

So the West Elm empolyees strongly don't recommend (is there a better word for that?) the wood block rug... so I have to re-evaluate my bathroom scheme.


Green. Shaggy. And only 12 dollars at urban. Which is waaay cheaper than the wood one.

And because I just can't resist green and pink color combos since I heart watermelon. A pink shower curtain. I think brown towels will still go ok with that, they are neutral, after all. Now I'm rethinking the curtain. White with the same print? So that it is more of a green bathroom. Scratch that. Pink. The bathroom is already white!

Bathroom :(

So James and Rachel "conversed" and they decided that the rug that i really really want won't be good in the bathroom, which is disappointing. So I guess taht I will have to have a new game-plan for the bathroom. What else would be fun with brown?

The Bathroom


So while West Elm is crap, I do really like their wood block rug. James said that he would buy it for me with his discount as long as I test drive it first. So I need to get myself over to their Chelsea store for that. It would go in the bathroom, I do believe. Just some chocolately brown towels from the elm as well, since they are super-fabulous there.

And possibly a print of a photograph I took. Maybe the one of Scooter the cat, or the vespa. not sure which however. (I can't find a scan of the vespa) I think I will go with a blue accent, because it is a bathroom afterall.

With hooks from urban outfitters

I would love love if I could get a shower curtain from anthropologie. It's absolutely beautiful, but SIXTY-EIGHT DOLLARS!? I don't think so!

art!

So I bought my first tihng for my apartment... a print by Dan-ah Kim. I first found her on etsy, and discovered that she was showing with a bunch of other print artists at the giant robot gallery in the east village. So Nikki and I headed over there last night and I got this print:

I think it has quite nice line work in the trees and I love the super soft color. I'm going to get it framed, but am not sure where to put it. I'm thinking in the dining nook feeling like a picnic, so perhaps a tree print will look swell in there.

All the landlady needs is my check and I'm in the apartment! YAY! So now I'm on a mission to decorate it and make it mine. Eventually, I'll post things I'm thinking. Anyways, in TimeOutNY this week this was a brief about Etsy where you can learn to make crafty things. So naturally, i googled it, and I got this site where people do crafty and artsy things and sell them. usually resonably prices, which rocked, so I'm using the site to find things to put on my wall. I know I could hang prints of stuff I've done myself or tape them to the wall (like I usually do). But I want a more finished look. This site is amazing.

The Apartment









So I found this one on Craigslist and I absolutely adore it. James checked it out for me and said that it was real big. So I'm going to fill out the application for moving in. a year lease... MY FIRST APARTMENT.
