When I typed "Be in love with my apartment" as one of my goals for 2014, I had no idea what exactly that meant. I knew that my apartment had potential, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect a transformation like this one. With one trip to IKEA and a little TLC, my living room has become a Pinterest-worthy space fit for a queen! Believe me, this transformation is one for the books!
Here I am with my IKEA goodies, after our shopping trip in February.
The following Monday, my Dad and Brother made their way to Boone to put together all of my new furniture. While I was at work, they assembled absolutely everything. It's safe to say that I didn't even recognize my own apartment, when I came home that day!
BEFORE:
Keep in mind that when I first moved in, just over a year ago, I was in a hurry. I had just moved back to Boone for a new job, and though apartment decor was on my mind, I wasn't looking invest a lot of time/money in new furniture.
It was super plain and sadly, super "college."
AFTER:
Love at first sight!

Now that I've seen what a little re-decorating can do, I'm ready to re-do the entire apartment!

I am in love with it!!! Come decorate mine for me :)
Everything looks so great! LOVE your Ikea finds! :) I've been eyeing that Target rug for a while...I would love it in my bedroom!
I am stunned at the difference! It looks amazing!

WOw what a change...looks more girly..more happy...just love the touches of pink!! Yay for Ikea!
It all turned out SO cute! I love the neutral couch and love seat, and I think the rug really ties it all in. It's crazy how much of a difference a little decorating can make to feel more "at home" in your home, I'm working on all of that myself right now! Can't wait to see what you do with your bedroom!
I'm in love with your apartment!!! SOO cute!!
