After four years of living in a freshman dorm (one as a resident, three as an RA), I have finally graduated to the world of college apartments. While it was a big step for me, I'm kinda cheating because I'm still on-campus housing. Nevertheless, I was very excited to leave my hot pink and teal bedroom days behind me-- (very "Elle Woods goes to college", cute at the time but not exactly timeless) ;).
I spent the better part of the summer crafting and traipsing up and down the aisles of Hobby Lobby, Home Goods, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and Target looking for things that would match each room and more importantly, sales! This was what I came up with...
My room:
Living Room:
Bathroom:
Kitchen:
I ended my summer with a much smaller balance in my bank account, and an apartment that I absolutely love. I may still live on campus and require my mama to come help me set up my new place, but I'm growing up-- more and more each day. It's equally exciting and scary, but at least I know that I'll have a place to call home (and in a few short weeks 3 roomies to come home to!) :)
