Apartment Updates

Ha so I'm sure not many people care about the new things in our apartment but Joshua and I were pretty excited about them so I'm going to share anways :)

We have been getting antsy about our apartment, but the cost and location are right so we tried to make it feel new to us.

my parent gave me these for Christmas, from a thrift store in amish country

 


a few more airplants, as you can see this one is named Whitaker



We traded in a high table for a low longer one. All the food for dinner actually fits on the table now :) Plus we didn't realize how badly we missed sitting at a regular height table.

 





We got a new light,we didn't want anymore table lamps because we don't have space but it was pretty dark in this corner of the apartment at night, plus it is really nice now not to have to have the light in front of you on when you're on the couch. Plus at night it creates a really warm happy glow.





the most adorable string glass lights ever!





thirft store deal on little pouf things that stack for extra seating




little caddy for our spirits





record storage :)



ah organization. I love that all my
things on rolls fit inside this







We bought a new dresser (craigslist) and removed our closet doors, and moved the bed around. It feels much more open and now I get more than one drawer.

That's about all, but it's the little things. We feel much better- I know you do too hehe









shuffled around boxes into nightstand, of course a thrift store french horn



Apartment updates

We've done some craigslist shopping and thrift store thrifting since I posted our apartment photos. For instance we now own a real couch...So I thought I'd share some photos.

I'm going to post some wedding photos soon and share a little bit about it. Our family and friends helped Joshua & I make almost everything. We had so many loving hands helping our wedding happen and it meant so much to us. I'll share more about it soonish

Until then here are living spaces updates

 I have had this fruit hanging thing for 3 years and I finally hung it from the ceiling and put fruit in it for the first time ever this week. Those bananas are bound for banana bread next week and I can't wait.

 Our bedroom art wall is growing! It has- a ticket stub collage I made from highschool, a photo print that our awesome friend Aurora sent us as a wedding gift, a painting I bought from a woman in Chinatown in Chicago, E is for Elrod, a music poster collage I made for DAAP freshman year that Josh loves, a gas gauge from our gas can money that Dave and Nick put together for a wedding- fantastic reminder of all the great people we have supporting us!

 A COUCH! It is purple but sometimes it plays tricks and seems brownishy. Also Dahlia pillows that I got from etsy- MARIESCOSYCUSHIONS she hand printed them and shocker they are orange :)

I found this sweet hanging mirror ball for $2 at an antique store near our apartment. It is being reserved for my air plant that I will be ordering soon!!!


Tomorrow is our 2 month anniversary of being married and I must say that I am still very happy that I married my hubs. We think we're really good together I cook-he cleans, I hit snooze-he shakes me awake, I buy-he saves, I bake-he loves sweets, I like him-he tolerates me= love :)
