project apartment
Less than a month ago I was still sleeping on an air mattress with all my belongs scattered on the floor. While I still have a long way to go, I'm happy with the progress made on the new living space. One of the best things about having a roommate (particularly this roommate) is that she is so fun to work on the apartment with. Without the motivation of my cheerful and enthusiastic roommate, I might still be living on the floor.
Instead I got my first Christmas tree. I know, I know! I'm like the original Grinch and I actually got a tree.
I think the tree's theme; Sparkle-birds and cupcakes helped to warm my heart.
Speaking of things that are bright and beautiful, we also hung the Turkish mosiac lamps that I bought in the bazaar.
My friend gave me these side tables/ coffee tables, whatever they are when she moved out. They were possibly the ugliest tables I have ever seen, but free is free.
My roommate and I nicknamed the color "shit taupe" and decided to paint them bright turquoise instead. So we picked our color from a handful of paint samples, sanded them down and...
first coat
AFTER:
The finished table next to my ridiculously awesome floral coach.
We took it a step further: painted some frames (to match the table) and put extra fabric from the sofa in them. I think this is hilarious.
I love where this apartment is going.

You girls are brilliant.
I laughed about the part where you made extra decos to match the table..and er...got material from the couch.
Where is this material from the couch coming from? Is the back of the couch all damaged? lmao.
In anycase, you two are so nifty.
@fukuoka_stars - Thanks!! Good question-- actually when I bought the couch it only had one arm cover.... so we put that to good use. We still have a bunch of fabric left, so the wall of couch may be expanded...
