Home Sweet Apartment

My Spring/Summer project is making over my apartment… I’ve been reading a lot of Apartment Therapy and their books for inspiration. Also my decluttering books…

I’ve gotten rid of a lot of things I was holding on to like school notes, old letters from friends, etc.

The first room I’m working on is the living room… here are a few before pictures:

My Living Room After That – Took A Turn For The Worse

I don’t have a current picture of my living room but it looks close to the same – minus the futon add a treadmill. I’m in the process of purging it of all unwanted/needed things.

It’s taking me longer then I thought it would to purge the living room… once I’m dong with that I’ll post a new before picture.

Pretty much everything in here right now (furniture) is going to go… I don’t have much so it’s not a big deal. To replace it so far I’ve brought:

Klippan Love Seat

Poang Chair

Both the love seat and chair are from Ikea… and while thrifting I picked this up…

It needs a little work… to be sanded and restained… but for $6.00 totally worth it. That same day, different thrift store I found a headboard… exactly what I was looking for, for my bedroom…

$20.00! Totally worth it… I put it behind my super high futon and it worked perfectly… LOVE. Needs a little touching up, but that’s about it.

I’m not going to worry about the bedroom for now… my main focus is the living room. Once I’m done with the living room my room is next…

Updated pictures to come soon… maybe tomorrow…
