shabby-chic.

Sunday is quite possibly one of my favorite days, because it's cleaning day! (Although I am a clean freak and clean everyday). While I was cleaning I realized that I haven't taken any pictures of my apartment. I snapped a few photos of some of my favorite spaces that make this little place feel like home. 

This is my bathroom. In August I decided to try the hottest "pinterest" creation and made these cute little string letters. And L and J for our bathroom. I used three different strings (light pink, cream and white), 1/4 inch nails, a hammer and 2 inch thick wood blocks. I was able to find everything at Joanne Fabrics!

Since our towels are all the same design and color, we quickly realized that these cute little monograms made the easiest and perfect way to determine what towel was ours!

My favorite part of the bathroom is this perfectly ruffled shower curtain that I searched all over for! I was finally able to find one at Pier One and couldn't wait to hang it up. I love that the ruffles and shaggy bath mat make this space feel so "shabby chic" and perfect for relaxing.

 This is how it all looks together, the bathroom is an odd shape because there is a walk in closet on one side of it. I tried to get the best picture I could but lighting wasn't on my side.

My second favorite spot in my apartment is a little nook in my room that I decided to use for studying, reading and relaxing on days where I don't feel like doing either. 

I love being surrounded by pictures of family and friends that are closest to my heart, because being away at school doesn't always make it easy to see everyone. 

This is my comfy-cozy nook. I decided to make a picture wall because I didn't have enough room on my end tables for all the pictures I wanted to display in my room. Then I wanted a chair that was comfortable enough to be in, yet still cute. I bought all the frames and the chair/ ottoman from ikea. Although of course I didn't like the pattern cushions ikea had (surprise, surprise Jonthaon would say) I decided to buy a cream one and reupholstered it with the fabric I wanted and the help of my mom!

I also wanted a unique little stand or table that would fit in the space and I wanted it to be antique of course. I ended up finding this mirrored, three tier table at a flea market this summer and it ended up being the perfect fit.  I added a few things to it that went perfectly with the chic-ness (is that a word?) of the rest of the room!
