In a few short months I'll be making a "big girl move", starting a "big girl job" & moving into my "big girl apartment" in Wisconsin. Therefore, lately I've been in major home decorating and interior design mode. Beautiful abodes from Apartment Therapy & Decor 8 have taken over my inspiration folders & I've been making rather enormous christmas lists on the Anthropologie site.
Today, I stumbled upon virtual home decor & design magazine, Rue Mag. I drooled over all the gorgeous, creative and inspiring homes they featured in their holiday issue. Make sure to check out the site; it'll have you itching to redecorate!
Here a few of my favorites:
Here a few of my favorites:
I think i've decided the look i'm going for in the living room is a modern bohemian feel (peacock, natural materials, earth and jewel tones, bold photography on the walls, & a book case full of fashion books) and & the bedroom will be a shabby chic parisian style (lace, sequins, leopard, prints of Paris, & a collage of frames above the bed).
I can't wait to go home and visit my family over Thanksgiving break & start my apartment decorating ventures at the newly opened Ikea! In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions of great interior design blogs or better yet-- affordable stores for home decor?

I am so excited for you to move into your new apt. That is awesome Lauren! xo

It's so fun thinking of how to decorate your first place! I like the images you've chosen here; very bright and clean!
ReplyDeleteI love love Rue Mag. Also, I think I need to invest in a leopard faux fur coat for home decor!! :)
ReplyDeleteLauren, what a great post! Anthropologie is my favorite but sooo expensive, I just go there to look then try to find similar stuff at target, ikea, thrift stores or craigslist...

I like Target for cute but cheap furniture.

That's so exciting--I can't wait to move out on my own for real, too. I love modern design with a twist, the yellow kitchen is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling the need to redecorate, but I'm hoping to move in the Spring so shall have to wait. Old Domino mags are a wonderful source of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGreat source of inspiration! I love the bedspread with the bright pink colours. I'll be decorating in a shabby chic fashion when I move out of home too! Best of luck in finding the perfect first apartment :)
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started on the wonderful world of home decor. I could dream for hours about how my potential home will look someday.. for now, I stick to lavishing my room with photos of marilyn monroe and the eiffel tower. sigh.
