Life is going good. My home is feeling better and better everyday! I wanted to show you some pictures.
Here is our new bedroom furniture. Sorry for the weird glare - that's from the globes in the fan. We still need some art for the walls, but that will just have to wait.
For extra storage in our little apartment I like utilize hooks! I have tons of nails and hooks on/in my closet. It's off the floor and there is a place for everything!
Here is the new couch and the family. Without the new picture.
Here is the new couch with the new picture! We got this awesome picture from my Dad's warehouse. He has all kinds of stuff for home decoration. I also want to get some sort of small skinny candle features to hang on either side of the picture.
Here is the bookshelf. It doubles as the office area as well. There is some decoration at the top.
I'm trying to highlight the reds in the room more. I think throw pillows for the couch and perhaps different curtains will help me with that. The curtains blend into the wall... I don't like that...
Do you like Prissy Dog's big ole' bed?? So does she! ;-)
This was the DVD rack we got from my Dad's warehouse. They also have a lot of furniture!
All of the DVD's were on the bookshelf, and it was way too over crowded. I didn't want to get rid of anything. This DVD rack was perfect. It fits behind the door and even gives us a place to put our shoes! Above more hooks! To hold leashes, hats, and keys. The cube on the floor is where we keep all of Prissy's treats and medicines.
Here is our pantry. Another bookshelf I got from my Dad's warehouse. I really like it the bookshelf. It is an A frame bookshelf that just fits perfectly. We didn't get a pantry with this apartment so we made our own. The food was just all over the counter tops in the kitchen. Now we have more room in the kitchen! :)
The only thing left to fix up is the table. Right now it's kind of a catch all for all of our old office stuff. I'm working on a project for school that is using the computer. But I'm almost done with it and then we can get rid of most of the stuff on the table.
In the bathroom I have my toiletries organized in this gardening bag I got from the dollar store. It's just tacked on to the wall. It keeps everything off the counter tops and it's easy to find. The jewelry boxes are in there only because I don't have room for them in my bedroom. That's where they used to live. I have my jewelry hanging on hooks behind the door.
To make more room WalMart (I'm sure other places too) have things you can stick on the mirror. That's what we are using to hold our toothbrushes and toothpaste.
A few more things that I want to do is get baskets for the entertainment center to hide as much stuff as I can. Then hang the TV on the wall so I can move the cable box and the PS3 to the top giving me more room to spread out my office stuff.
I also want to find an end table that doubles as a two drawer filing cabinet that locks and that looks decorative for the living room. Right now our filing cabinet is in the closet and we have a hard time getting to it. And mail is piling up on the table... That has got to stop!
The apartment is staying clean, but I've only gone to school for two days. So we will see how long it lasts. It definitely is easier to keep a 1 bedroom apartment clean than the two bedroom. :-) Good luck with your organizing and decluttering!
Life's too short to have too much stuff,
Sandy
