where i live.
I've always enjoyed my apartment, but now that I live here alone I have fallen in love with it all over again. I had a few apprehensions about living alone due to my overactive imagination, but turns out I love it. My mom and Isabel helped me spruce it up and I am forever grateful for their ingenious decorating skills. I wake up every morning with an overwhelming sense of happiness that this cozy little nook is my home.
Photos:
1. Thrifted armoire that reminds me of Beauty and the Beast every time I look at it (after removing broken doors, staining, and adding girly white curtains).
2. Vintage flower prints I fell in love with (for less than ten dollars) and had framed.
3. Rainbow couch with all different pillows. We found the one pictured at Anthropologie on sale, and it is a gem.
4. Vintage vanity from a boutique in Charleston, stool from Target.
5. View from my bedroom: palmetto trees and blue water.
6. Shadows and orange light from the sunrise.
7. A gorgeous painting from Tyler (story here).
8. Fuzzy rug and spray-painted five-dollar wicker table.
9. Inspiration wall full of Jessica Swift prints and sentimental cards.

such a lovely little nest you've made for yourself, there is nothing like coming home to a place that makes you giggle with happiness!
i love that wicker table... that apt.is definitely you...
man. I'm jealous of that view.
And I love those curtains.
Actually, just all of those pictures together form a beautiful color palette!
Your apartment is beautiful! And it's so cool that you live by yourself. Sometimes I wish I lived by myself, but then I'm afraid I would just stay in all the time, haha!
So much personality. How refreshing!
Palm trees seen through your window...just gorgeous...I can see a willow tree through mine... I like the idea of these snippets of home and you sound very settled there. Lou x
I absolutely love it! Such a perfect mix of vibrant colors and more calming elements... thanks for sharing! :)
It looks very calming but very colorful at the same time. I love everything about it!
very girly and sweet. I love it!
I love all these details. I need you to come design my new place.
Gorgeous pictures! Love all the color, very cheery!
you have such a beautiful space! i'm working on a similar inspiration wall. just out of curiosity, what kind of string and clips did you use for yours?
What a gorgeous place! Enjoy each moment there! xxoo :)
I too, live alone and absolutely adore my space and what I have made of it! Sometimes I don't think anyone understands the beauty in sitting in the corner of your couch (my spot) and looking at special things around your apartment that make you feel home. I think you've nailed it for yourself :)
i lived alone in college for a summer and i LOVED it. enjoy. it looks wonderful.
Ooh that vanity, and the framed mirror are my faves :) Nice place
i have that same anthropologie pillow! it's on our bed.
Aw, such a neat and lovely little apartment.
I like how you photographed in bits and pieces, so it's easiest to see the best parts :)
Beautiful!! I love that anthro pillow and the soft fluffy area rug....we have one like that too!
The colours are just gorgeous. xo
gorgeous details, it seems so cozy!
Looks lovely and oh so comfortable!! I love how you have color here and there and your place is simple and artsy! I love it!
I agree, I always thought living alone would be boring and kinda freaky...but honestly after having roommates for so long I'm ready to go it solo! Cute apartment decorations also!
What a lovely space! Not that there was any doubt that you home would be anything but lovely!
love all of the little details! looks so cozy. i like the idea of a spray-painted wicker table. we are in need of a smallish coffee table & that'd be so cute ( we also have a cream shag rug)! that armoire is gorgeous!! and what a view!
awww thank you guys!!!! seriously!
Brittany- I just used thick white string and mini clothes pins for the pictures!
how cute! i absolutely love your apartment.
love it!!! :)
the charming apartment definitely represents you! and i love the story of the painting. awww
love love LOVE the vintage flower prints! thanks for sharing a pieces of your place! :)
aw your place looks SO cute! I love how it's decorated!! Living alone will be nice..except when you need help eating your yummy desserts! I wish I could come over :)
everything is so gorgeous together- i move into my new apartment in a few weeks and i hope it comes out half as homey as yours :)
what a lovely nest you have. so sweet and warm.
i used to have that vanity stool! i love your apartment. it's look perfect for you. and congratulations on getting to live alone! enjoy every minute of it!
love everything about it!
Beautiful, and I love the look the entire collage creates. I love the pops of color. And what a great idea - you can get a feel for a place this way. I think I may have to do something like this too.
This is such a cute idea for a post! I clicked over from "Lou Boos & Shoes" and so glad I did. I'm going to do the same on CrushParty.blogspot and link back to both...Maybe lots will do the same. It would be fun to see where lots of bloggers nest! It's on my to-do list, will link back to both of you!
@champagne: that is a wonderful idea! let me know if you do it! xo
