Decorating your home is a funny thing.. Something I thought I was an expert at until I actually got down to it. You go from posters and bulletin boards in high school at your parents' house, to finally getting a place of your own in college and designing it (mostly with empty wine bottles) with your roommates, then on to figuring out a combined style with your husband and y'alls mix matched furniture and belongings..
We have lived in our (THIRD!) apartment together for a year and a half now and man how things have changed. In addition to figuring out our style, we added an extra tiny person.. Which called for moving and shifting and being super creative with storage.We have picked up things here and there and have definitely learned from trial and error what we like and dislike. (And to ALWAYS go a shade lighter on that paint swatch you have your eye on..)
This place is by no means our forever home (please sweet baby Jesus let it only be our next 10 months home).. So we haven't put a ton of money into it - lots of Ikea and Craigslist finds around here. And we have the limitations of being in an apartment and restrictions around painting, and hanging, and all that hoopla that comes along with being renters. BUT with our tiny budget and restrictions. we have made it a HOME.
So with our most recent master bedroom face lift this weekend, I wanted to give a quick update on some things we have done over the past 18 months on Missouri Avenue..
