hey guys, its been a while since i’ve last posted, life has been pretty hectic! i finally got my own apartment, and i’ve been caught up with moving for a while! everything is so much more expensive than i expected but it’s amazing having my own space — my imaginary future apartment is finally turning into my reality! furniture is really expensive though, so its still a work in progress. in the meantime, here are some of my favorite things about my apartment, and a few comparisons from how i imagined my apartment to how it really is :)
some things i really like:
i absolutely love my couch — its a L-sectional that pulls out, and it is so insanely comfortable. i’ve fallen asleep on it so many times, and i honestly prefer laying on my couch after work than my bed
i got a green rug and silver lamps for my living room, and its really pulling the entire space together. i got matching black shelves for decor, so its really balancing my soft and edgy aesthetics.
finally got a vinyl rack for all my fall out boy records! it was the perfect size to fill an empty space along my wall, and i can’t wait to bring my record player over from my parents’ house. i originally wanted to upgrade my old suitcase record player to an actual turntable, but i realized it isn’t a necessary expense at the moment, so i’m sitting on that for a while
i got a dyson vacuum and air purifier! my favorite part of the vacuum is that it lights up the floor so i can see where the dust is. the air purifer is a life saver — i don’t have a hood vent in my apartment, so i run it every time i cook. its also super cool to see how bad my air quality gets after cooking lol. the air purifier also doubles as a fan, which is convenient since the weather where i live doesn’t get super hot and i don’t need an ac unit.
some things that were unexpected:
i spent way more time furnishing my living room compared to my bedroom — its the space my guests see, so i wanted it to look put together. my bedroom is currently just a bed and nightstands, and honestly i’m not sure what i need to put in there. i have a ton of closet space, so i don’t need more clothing storage, and i don’t have a lot of a work to do at home, so a desk isn’t completely necessary. now that i have an entire apartment to myself and i’m not confined to decorating just my room, i’m not really sure what i need in my room anymore
i always imagined living in a very modern apartment, but the apartment i got was fairly old fashioned. there are a lot of cabinets, but each cabinet is very small compared to the ones i used to have. the floor is a little warped, and the closets still have the original old grey carpet before the owners remodeled most of the floor. it doesn’t really bother me much though, since its just the closet.
i don’t use as many cups as i thought i would. don’t get me wrong, i still want cute handmade mugs and fun drinking glasses, but most of the time i’m drinking water from my water bottle and any soft drinks in the can/bottle it comes in. its starting to get a bit colder though, so i’m expecting to start using my mugs for tea soon
