We recently repainted and rearranged our space. Shout out to Austin! I so appreciate all his help. As a noun, paint is a great word but as a verb not so much;)

I love this double vanity turned TV stand. Liquidations by Lila in Hixson is an excellent source for deals. This cost just $140. Downside: Austin now wants a larger TV. I have to say, the proportions would be better but seriously?

My sis gave me this painting for Christmas. She will be a HS Senior this year and plans to study art at BYU. The artwork goes well with the pillow covers I found on Etsy. Kendall rocks!

I am thinking about painting this table a charcoal gray. Any thoughts?

The apartment originally came with a repulsive white ceiling fan over the dining room. We replaced it with this IKEA pendant and it has made a huge difference in the feel of this room.

Onto the bedroom. The dresser is yet another from Lila's ($100!). The rug was a steal from Home Goods. The walls were a dreadful peachy taupe. The new Quiet Rain color brightens the room nicely.

For our anniversary, Austin gave me the jewelry hanger from Urban Outfitters.

These glass orbs are a gift from my bro Brendan. He collected them for me while in Japan. They are hand blown glass fishing floats. The bubbles in the glass are mesmerizing.

You might recognize the mirror frame pattern. It's wrapping paper from Target. I mod podged an old mirror that came from Austin's Nonni.

Inspired by an Anthro window display, I made origami art above the headboard. The paper patterns create a faux quilt.

Thanks Mom for the awesome pics!
