New Apartment

Slowly moving into my new apartment. The slowly part necessitated by ShipSmart (oh, the irony) moving my belongings up the West coast at approximately 3 mph. Seriously, it's been 25 days and my stuff has not arrived. Beginning to think ShipSmart is coming up the Oregon Trail in a covered wagon.

Ahh pardon the rant. Anyway, the good part of moving is finally getting all of your stuff organized and set-up the way you want it. Also, buying things. I am trying very hard to curtail my accumulation of stuff since after 4 moves in about a year, I realize the benefits of owning only essentials (granted, I am a girl whose definition of essentials means a walk-in-closet full of "basics" and "investment pieces"). Nevertheless, there are certain things I absolutely need, such as a tv stand.

I'm using these photos as inspiration for decorating a small space. They are of a studio apartment but somehow seem very spacious and airy.
