apartment tour: living room

And so it begins… a little series I’m doing this week on the blog. I’ve decided to break up the tour into different rooms, so you can get the most bang for your buck. I’d like to begin here with the living room because this is my very favorite room in the whole apartment. I love cozying up on the couch after a tiring day at work, drinking hot tea under a thick blanket while I watch my favorite shows, and enjoying weekend mornings relaxing with a cup of hot coffee while the sun streams in.

The best part of this room are the couches, and the fact that I got them for $100 at the global thrift makes them even better. Yes, you heard me right. One. Hundred. Dollars. For reals. The pillows on the couch are from West Elm, and the one on the chair I snagged at Flat of the Hill on Charles Street. It cost a pretty penny, but I was too in love with it to pass it up. Plus, let’s not forget the couches were $100. My mom actually found the curtains on-sale at Kohls (I struggled for awhile finding some I liked), and I added little touches here and there, like the vase and picture frames to bring the place together. I decided to do lots of different patterns to keep the energy high and so far, I think it’s working out just perfect. Love love love. Warm and cozy, like a living room should be.

What do you think? I hope you like it. Check back each day this week for more views of the place!
