Whimsical Wednesday-Week 8

As most of you may know, I just recently moved.  It's interesting to try and rearrange a new home.  I want to make the most of my space and I want to very intentional start new habits relating to organization.

The problem is that there isn't a lot of storage space in my new apartment.  I have a huge closet with only two shelves.  So I've been looking for some creative solutions to this problem.  So far these are the ideas I've collected!

I already bought a frame to attempt this earring hanger.  It would look really cute inside my closet.

This old drawer is a perfect jewelry box.  It's so rustic and cute and super functional (which really is MOST important).

What an amazing medicine cabinet.  Making the back of it magnetic is such a genius move!

Printable labels for your pantry.  I have some jars but I've just been using painters tape to label this.  This printable is way cuter!

I love this key holder, mail station.  We don't really have a good drop place when we first get inside and I would love to have something like this.

I love this old metal mesh organizer.  It's so cute and perfect for important things you need to remember in the morning!

And of course, I couldn't have an organization post without some mason jars.  I love this idea with the rustic wood and the mason jars.  It's such a great way to organize this.  Now if I could find a place to hang it...

I'll keep you updated, hopefully I'll get at least one of these projects done, we'll see!  Really what I need is a good place to put shoes.  Any ideas?

Love,

Whimsical Wednesday-Week 4

Is it weird that most of this post is via IKEA?  If it is, I'm sorry, if it's not then you found the right place!

Denver just got it's first IKEA about a year ago and I'm still fascinated by it and love making trips there.

I also just found out that I will for sure be moving out on June 1 so it's time to get serious about collecting items for my own apartment!  It' so exciting.

So let's be honest, if you don't like IKEA you really don't need to read on.  If you want to see what I love at IKEA then please continue.  IF you love IKEA as well then for sure you have found a home!



These little ottomans are amazing!  I love the vintage look they have!



So I just bought this duvet cover from IKEA.  I love the dots and it's so versatile, I can use whatever color sheets I want!  (I'm thinking green or bright blue...)



This bookshelves is amazing, and would be so easy to build! (Couldn't find a link for this one :/)



I love this lamp (can you tell that I love polka-dots?).  Also from IKEA, could either match or clash with my duvet cover.



I don't know if you've seen it, but painted jars/vases are super in!  I hope to make some for my new place :)



ORGANIZATION!  This is so amazing and is so not my strong suit.  I bought some of these jars from IKEA for flour and sugar, I really need to have the best of intentions (and actions) for keeping my food organized! (No link, but the containers are from IKEA).



And my favorite piece, this rug!  I love it, I bought it, it's only 19.99 from IKEA.

If my apartment looks they way I envision it then I will be so excited.  I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my apartment goals/dreams!

I'll have to take you on a tour of the place sometime, maybe in vlog form?  We'll cross that bridge when we come to it :)

Have a wonderful week!

Love,

Keely
