thanks! I invested a lot of time and energy in my apartment. When I first moved here almost 3 years ago I rushed with buying furniture/decor and just didn't think things through...I ended up realizing it didn't feel like home, and that I didn't want to come home to it. I think about a year ago I decided to do a makeover, and what I have now is the result of the past year of constant tweaking. I forgot where I heard it, but someone once said something along the lines of "shouldn't every object in your home be beautiful?" I took this to heart. Since my apartment is basically a 25x25 foot square with a bunch of walls, I've learned to make good use of my limited space...everything at the end of the day has to be practical and serve a purpose.
