This is how the apartment looked when we moved in. Scary!
I decorated for Halloween soon after moving in. I do love how bright and cheery the room looks, but I can't believe how yellow everything is!
Next, I arranged the room for Christmas. I love our little Christmas tree. I'm including the picture below because it represents the less glamorous side of my apartment. I was working so hard on a gift for my sister and the whole place was just a complete disaster.
After Christmas, I cleaned up my act a little and organized things a little differently. I wish I had better pictures of this stage, because I feel like this is when I really made the jump from "cute" to "well-decorated."
Sometime in April/May, I eliminated a lot of the colors in the living room and rearranged the room for a more elegant look.
Then, I decided to bring in a different coffee table, which really helped fill the room better. This is one of my favorite pictures of my apartment.
At this point, I knew that the red lovesac was holding me back. So, even though it was super comfy and I spent many hours there doing homework and scrolling through Pinterest, I gave it to my little brother, who was very grateful for it.
And this is how my apartment looks today:
The beautiful quilt was a gift from my mom for my wedding, and the table was lovingly refinished by my husband before we got married. I love my little apartment!
Don't forget to "Pin" this to your Pinterest board!
