Apartment 9:09 am
“I’ve not as yet found one hobby that would absorb me completely when I’m not working, but I have just bought a new apartment and didn’t quite bargain for the amount of effort and time and money that that absorbs.” - Hugh Dancy
I’m sitting in my new apartment, eating soup and drinking lemonade. Though I’ve been here just a few days, it already feels homey and cozy, mostly because my mother was obsessed with hanging every picture up on the first day. I don’t know what else to report - it’s just like any other place, except that it’s all mine. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a couch in the living room and candles everywhere.
I am, however, open to decorating ideas. Leave a comment and share any fun decorating idea you’ve come across. I’m counting on you.

Throw clothes everywhere so you always have an excuse not to do laundry.

I have been browsing through the pages of your blog & I have to say that you write beautifully. :]

go to an art/craft store. Grab a blank stretched canvas and some acrylic paint you like the colors of.
Make something for yourself painting with rags and paper towels… make more than three colrs but don’t go crazy mixing since that will result in a brown gray black blob painting. Think texture and some color seperation.
Let that thing dry for a week especially if you have lots of paint texture.
No frame necessary. Make sure to get some of that paint on the sides then if you aren’t framing.
