Now that my Hartford roommates have all moved away (and soon one will be moving to Italy!), I have a new home! It’s a sweet yellow cottage complete with a front porch and rocking chairs.
I am loving my new roommates: a senior UGA student who happens to be my little sis in AOPi and a 1st year pharmacy student who was in my pledge class. It’s amazing how quickly the house came together since we all had some sort of furniture or kitchen supplies from previous places.
Now for a tour and breakdown of my spaces.
My bedroom may be the smallest in the house, but I’m proud to say that I love it more than I could have expected. Cozy and organized (and right next to the kitchen…).
I’ve never had a bathroom of my own in my entire life, so this is a huge treat!
And thanks to my thrifty, professional organizer mom, my new bathroom hardly cost anything:
- White rack – $3 from Goodwill
- Shower curtain – $5 from the Marshall’s sale rack
- Green dot rug (not shown) – Freecycled from a Hartford roommate
- Green basket on toilet – Laying around in my basement
- Green toilet paper basket for the floor (not shown) – Borrowed from the fiancé’s little sister
- Sunflower painting – hand-painted by my own sister
Total cost of the bathroom decor: $8! Don’t you just love that? Plus, does anyone else feel a bit of nostalgia when they look at that shower curtain? Reminds me of those hanging door beads I used to love in middle school, but a lot cooler.
And finally, a room to reckon with: the living room – complete with an incredible painting by Missy Cargo
Check out that detail:
The photo doesn't even do this painting's beauty justice.
Overall, I think our house has come together quite nicely, but it definitely needs a few little additions here and there. For example, the living room could really use a few little tidbits on those empty white (and wobbly) shelves in the corner. I see a DIY project in my future.
Any suggestions of something that might add a little pop of color? I’d love to give it a try!
