We're finally in NY!

WOO HOO! We finally made it to New York!

After months and months of planning and packing, and two long days of driving, we made it to White Plains and are finally settled in!

Last week was really hectic: trying to unpack all of the boxes that took over our entire studio, making sure all of our furniture actually fit, and finding a place for everything took a while! Everything is unpacked and put away (for the most part), and it finally feels like home!

I have been collecting furniture and different things for the apartment for the past year or so. I knew that I had to stray away from all of the pink I used in my college apartment, and use a color that was more male friendly! I decided aqua blue would be perfect and wouldn't overpower our tiny little studio apartment. Since it is a studio and is very open, I used the same aqua color throughout the space without overdoing it (in my opinion!)

I also wanted another pop of color in the living area, so I decided to use orange and pear green. I LOVE the way it turned out! We kept the wall colors the way they were when we moved in (beige) and used fun pillows, fabric, and accessories to jazz it up!

Here is what it looked like in when we started, and when it was FULL of crap:







Here are some "After" pictures...or more like "During" since I'm not quite finished!







I have lots of "how to" posts coming soon with detailed pictures!

My sweet friend, Allison, posted about our apartment on her blog, The Owen's Opus. She and her husband live in Colorado, and I miss her terribly. Check her out!
