Living Room: Before & After ***Featured on Apartment Therapy!

BEFORE.png

What you might not know about my current place is that I almost signed a lease elsewhere before begrudgingly deciding it was worth my effort to visit this place even if it was 99% probably not where I wanted to live based off of the photos online.

What happened when I walked in, however, was the old world charm and the exact location - steps from the downtown walking mall - all reeled me in immediately and I said to the property manager as i walked through the yellow walls “I think this is the place”.

When I signed the lease I didn’t end up moving for another 2+ weeks but as soon as I did I immediately painted as many of the rooms I was immediately using in Valspars creme fraiche to freshen things up a bit but keep that warmth and coziness. I knew the living room was going to be the place I spent most of my time between working from the couch, entertaining friends or watching netflix.

After painting everything white, I changed out the light fixture which was an old ceiling fan from the 90s and installed a fun one I picked up at Lowes. I wanted to get settled quickly so while I typically love the thrill of hunting for things slowly and intentionally, because I had a specific vision I found most of the initial items from Ikea (glass shelves, pink couch, storage boxes). Then I found some other accessories and things like pillow covers, rugs etc from a mixture of things I had an online.
