IM MOVING

The rumors are true. IM MOVING.

If you follow me on Instagram you have probably seen I am (FINALLY) leaving the nest to live a healthy 4.5 miles away from my childhood home. The apartment of my dreams became available near to the people and places I love the most… Wegmans and their employees. (Im also much closer to Boyfriend which doesn’t suck either).

I will be moving on Easter Sunday, a day which I will be assembling IKEA furniture in honor of Jesus…you know, because he was a carpenter. Honestly, I think he will appreciate it.

As I have been making purchases, I have been receiving endless DMs about where I am getting my dope home decor and I don’t blame you… the gold knives are everything. Because I love you, and have been asking for your input via instagram polls I thought I would give you a list of all my finds//final purchases.

You should know I take home decor very seriously and the fact that I can decorate my own space with minimal input from others is amazing. This may be the only time in my life where I can give a hard and aggressive NO to any Celtics ‘decor’ (Read: posters) and have it not be an actual issue (Sorry babe). The vibe of my place is cozy chic. I hate hate hate houses that don’t feel warm and inviting. My goal is for everyone who comes to visit to end up taking a nap after two glasses of champagne. As to not overwhelm you, I will share each room I decorate separately.

Today, I am giving you all things living room.

I am a sucker for anything with a gold and marble combination so my first purchase was a coffee table that was just that. I wanted something simple that could easily be switched up with the seasons and that will eventually fit into a space with more masculine vibes. The table is square to fit perfectly into my cozy sectional. Also the price was RIGHT and unlike my gold and ‘marble’ DIY book shelf, there will be no extra work involved. (More on the book shelf when we get to the bedroom)

I live for a white couch moment. But I also live for coffee and Im not the most graceful human being so I knew that would be an issue. I also knew the guests that will be frequenting my humble abode are boys and boys spill (Matthew). I fell head over heels for a light blue baby in the IKEA show room. It is the perfect size and right level of cosiness for snuggles watching the Real Housewives and naps during baseball games (im kidding… kind of). I’m picturing pale pink and gray pillows with massive blankets.

As for the accent chair, I wanted something that makes a statement. Something to add a little masculinity so my poor boyfriend doesn’t feel like he is having sleepovers in a sorority house. This chair is everything and it is so comfortable. I don’t love the legs… so I will be painting them.

I spent COUNTLESS hours looking at entertainment centers. Please explain why they were all ugly and boring. I have decided to go the nontraditional route and get a fireless fireplace… aka a mantel. The Tv can hang above it while electric candles flicker where the fire would typically be. Plus I will now have a place for stockings during Christmas which honestly is a huge bonus.

NOTE: This picture is not mine.. I’m using it as inspiration

I am very lucky to be bringing a lot of furniture with me. My amazing desk I found two years ago will also be in the living room. It’s such a statement piece and I love that I finally get to showcase it in the way she deserves.

As for BIG things thats all I have for you. DETAILS will be posted after move in day!! I can’t wait to share this process with you!!!!!

If you have any packing hacks… PLEASE share. Your girl is struggling.

xoxo,
