Hi, everyone! I am so excited to share this post with you all – today I will be showing you all a tour of my apartment, which I just moved into over the weekend. I live in a one-bedroom with my cat, Opal (who is photobombing at least two of these pictures haha) & my boyfriend since he has been interning nearby this summer. As a law student, my budget isn’t HUGE by any means, but I do love decorating & making my personal spaces inviting & fun! I’d describe my style as minimalistic & modern, but I also like to throw in some pops of pink & gold.
I will be linking as many items as I can! Most are from Target (no surprise there), but many are from T.J.Maxx & I may not be able to link them.
Living Room
My living room area is my favorite space in my new apartment. The round mirror & key holder with the honey comb design were both picked up from T.J.Maxx. I could not find either of them online, but I picked up the key holder just days ago, so it could be in store still (and I saw several in stock while I was there).
I’m employing this white bookshelf from Target as my TV stand. I love decorating the shelves with books, small decor, & frames, but it is also useful for holding electronic consoles. The gold urchin that I have sitting in there (came as a set of three) is one of the most versatile decor pieces I have ever purchased. I used two of them on the wall in my bedroom! I switch up their spots constantly. Lastly, that gold & white drum/side table is from Target. It is a few years old, but they have similar ones online. I’m using it & a fake plant from T.J.Maxx to hide some ugly cords!
My gray (almost blue-ish) throw is from T.J.Maxx. It is cozy & washes well! I’ve already thrown it in the wash a few times. The two abstract square design pillows are both from Target. The striped one was gifted to me from my mother & came in a comforter set from T.J.Maxx, so I couldn’t link it.
My couch (which comes apart for easier moving) was also a hand-me-down from my mother. I love the way it looks contrasted with the pink & white oriental-ish rug (ON CLEARANCE NOW!) underneath. My coffee table (obsessed with marble) is no longer available from target, but I’ve linked a similar one HERE. The tray & planter are from T.J.Maxx. I’ve added some faux flowers from Michael’s that are easy for switching out for different colors/looks from time to time.
Lastly, the abstract gold lines wall art is from Target!
Kitchen/Vanity Area
Because I love make-up (and consider myself kind of basic haha) I have the infamous “Alex Drawers” from IKEA! They are so practical, but man are they heavy!! I had to enlist the help of my girl friend – bless you, Chloe – to help me move them while my boyfriend was at work over the weekend. The top (“Linnmon”) is removable & also from IKEA.
Of course, my mirrors and lamp are from T.J.Maxx. I like the look of leaning a larger mirror against the wall as opposed to mounting it – my mom inspired me with the idea! The desk chair is another fun Target find.
My kitchen is nothing special, but I do love my white keurig. I am a coffee fanatic. The white piece of art above the sink is old & from T.J.Maxx, but I’ve actually seen it there recently! The kitchen mat is from (you guessed it) target. The letter board can be found pretty much anywhere & I linked a similar one here.
Bathroom
I decided on a new color scheme for my bathroom when I moved, and grey & white felt both calm & easy! The three circle artwork is by the brand Marmont Hill & I found it on Walmart’s website here. The little basket is from T.J.Maxx & I think it is the perfect way to organize feminine products, a candle, room fragrance spray, or anything else that you want to be easy-to-reach. Lastly, the soap dispenser and matching toothbrush holder are basic ones from IKEA. I decided on the wood look because it would go with just about any color palette!
Bedroom
And last, but not least, my bedroom! I love how comfy-cozy it looks. The two cactus prints on the wall above my bed come as a set from Target and are very reasonably priced. I feel like I’ve seen them all over Instagram. I got my comforter on Amazon prime day! It is still less than $30 & you can get it here. Unfortunately, all of my pillows & sheets are from T.J.Maxx, but their selection is so great, so I highly recommend stopping in & shopping there!
My night stand & lamp & basket are from there as well. Inside the basket, I keep some books that I have yet to read! If anyone has any thriller recommendations, please let me know & comment below.
I set up my “Malm” six-drawer dresser from IKEA on Sunday, and I’m pretty proud of myself for doing it entirely alone. I keep a gold jewelry stand on top & the painting (which is sadly sold out) can be found at this link.
You all have no idea how excited I was about the fact that I have two closets now! I put a full-length mirror (for outfit pics, duh) between them with two of those gold urchins above.
Alright, that’s it! I hope you all have enjoyed this little tour & thank you SO MUCH for reading. Stay tuned for more posts in the future! I plan to do at least one per week.
Love,
Madeline
