New year, new space.

Hello, hello! Yes, we are still alive! We spent Christmas and the week after back home on the East Coast and then this past week has been spent catching up on everything. The handmade gifts were a big hit! Especially the ornaments

When we got back to our little home in Colorado we decided to clean, organize and simplify to start of the new year. We also splurged on a TV! 


The black book/record shelf is from iKea and the coffee table (which we have big plans for) was thrifted.



We decorated the empty shelves with colored glass vases (also thrifted) and copper plated pieces. I am very into copper right now and would love to buy these but instead we found vintage goblet glasses like these at the thrift store for our future kitchen. 



We've converted our suitcase side table to a record player stand since we now have a coffee table and added a reading lamp from iKea. 

The other half of our living space is still a bit messy, but at least we have a nice sitting area now. 

How was your holiday?

Bathroom Re-do

...kind of.

My least favorite room in our current home is the bathroom, well, it was the bathroom. When renting, there aren't many things you can do to fix a room, but we made one small adjustment and now I don't mind it as much.

W added a ton of storage with this amazing cart from IKEA. It was $49.95, but worth it in my opinion, because we will get so much use out of it. The color and style are perfect and it's been keeping the sink area from getting cluttered.

 
Now for some more pictures of our bathroom. Everything (sink, toilet andis from Target, IKEA, thrifted or repurposed. 







Definitely not my dream bathroom, but it will do for now.
