My Imaginary Appartment

It is one of my favourite things to do when I'm upset-- walk about home stores and pick out items for the apartment that I don't have. I don't understand what it is about kitchen utensils that I won't ever use. So for today's post I have gathered some of the things that made my heart go pitter-patter, like these great wine glasses with the extra long stem--a la Scandal-- and some adornments for my wall.

I had to include this flat design I found on IKEA when I was looking for ways to set up a studio apartment. With a studio it is so difficult to separate sleeping space from living space, especially if you don't have much space to work with. I loved how they used the shelving unit and a bit of fabric as a separation, the open closet is also a huge attraction, I love having  my clothes displayed nicely, and easy to access.

The Room Reno: Update

I am nearly there! The painting is done, a bed is now in my room. I have also found myself more storage for accessories and clothes. I have in place my television, and now I am just waiting on my trip to IKEA to get myself a desk and a few other odds and ends,as well as some tapestry to complete the room.
I also have a bit more work to do on what I'm calling my "feature wall"--gold polka dots above my desk. I am very happy with how its turned out so far-- it's much lighter and brighter, which helps with my mood a great deal, you just can't help but mellow out a bit when relaxing in here.

Have a look at the photos, what do you think about it so far? Let me know in the comments below!
