I bet you thought that this was going to be a post with photos of the gorgeous autumn foliage, didn’t you? Surprise! I’m still talking about The Love Nest.
I’m finally getting some splashes of color added to the apartment:
Looking at this photo, I can see I have too much plain and need to add some pattern to this area. I’m sure photos on the wall will help that some. Still not feeling the love for the big, bulky TV in the corner though…
But look! Lamps, the final frontier! I finally have some lamps!! I love a light room!
I added a brick red mat by the front door so we won’t be tracking icky stuff all over our beige carpet. This city uses this horrible cinder/chemical black stuff to melt the ice and snow. Oh, and they only plow if it’s over 4 inches of snow. Even if it’s an icy 4 inches. I don’t much like winters here. Didn’t when I was in college here, don’t like them now.
But, as usual, I digressed. Back to the apartment decorating…
This is all I’ve done to the extra bedroom. Isn’t it lovely?? Well, I do love that bentwood rocker. I’ve rocked many a baby to sleep in the rocker. Why do we have two bedrooms you ask? Good question! Because that’s the apartment that became available. I’ll make this bedroom into an office/study/den thingie. (technical decorating term, I’m sure.)
Then there is the bedroom. Yes, that’s still just the blow up mattress…and it’s so not very comfortable. We’re still waiting on the Sleep Number Bed to get delivered. Yes, those are packing boxes for bedtables. That’s it for this room so far 😯
But, for the record, I’m having a blast decorating this place. I can’t wait to go through my bazillions of photos and pick out some to blow up for the walls. Oh, and I got a bathroom wastebasket. Must get a photo of that I guess. 😆
I’m thinking the falls colors are influencing my decorating decisions though, since I’ve never gone with sages, loden green, or brick red colors before. What colors do you tend to use when you decorate?
