My Apartment Living Room Tour

It's no secret that I am obsessed with my living room and the way it turned out. A few weeks ago I posted a tour on my channel of how it turned out but I never posted a blog post (until now) with the pictures revealing anything and everything about my apartment key pieces. Laurel & Wolf covered an article on their blog about my space but I wanted to share all the pictures with you that Cody, my sweet and talented boyfriend, took for me of my space! I also wanted to help you guys potentially find cheaper alternatives for some of the things in my apartment, as I know decorating a space can get very, very, very expensive.

One of my favorite things about my apartment is this DIY wall hanging I did when I first moved in. With all the supplies it probably cost around $35 to make. I just found a bunch of different textured yarns and tied them on a round piece of wood I bought at Home Depot. Yes, it's that easy. So easy a caveman could do it. (Who remembers those commercials?!)

I get a lot of questions about the console table where it's from and actually I was very surprised when the interior designer sent it to me for approval to find out that it was from CB2! Granted it is more expensive than I was expecting to spend on a console table but since it's a big focal point of my apartment, I justified it. I did find a cute alternative that is much cheaper than the CB2 from World Market that I was looking at before hiring a designer with L&W!

As for the decorations on the console table, that's all from Home Goods AKA my favorite store ever! I found these basket stands when I was home in Cincinnati at the Home Goods there and nearly died when I saw them. So. Freaking. Cute. I'm not over it. The Himalayan salt lamps are also from Home Goods, you can basically find them at any store. I found an alternative at Urban Outfitters that's also available in a different color too!

Next to the console table is this chair that I purchased a while back from Target. It's no longer available but World Market has a dupe of it and it's not much more than I paid for mine. I love the look of wishbone chairs and the fur adds a little more glam to it! I added a fuzzy blanket that I bought at Home Goods and Moroccan Wedding Pillow from Anthropologie on top of it. To act as a foot rest, I have this adorable Moroccan pouf that is quite the splurge but worth it! I ordered what I thought was a dupe of it and it looked so cheap and dirty compared to the real thing. I would suggest if you want a cheaper version of this pouf, to purchase it from West Elm for about half the price of this one! 

 Oh my lawddddd, oh how I love this couch. This is probably the most expensive piece of furniture I'll ever own but by gosh, by golly, it's gorgeous. The slub velvet is to die for. I am not going to recommend any other velvet couch on the internet because I know that velvet couches are hard to find so I'll just leave it at that. To protect my couch from Millers paws, I've layered a bunch of different pillows and blankets. Not only is it protecting the couch, but it's also adding a lot of texture to the space. All my pillows are from Anthropologie. I think you can style any couch and make it look fab with Anthropologie pillows. Worth the investment. The fuzzy ones are from Anthropologie but you can find similar pillows basically at any TJ Maxx and Home Goods.

When I first purchased the throw blanket (on sale here) on my couch, I had it in mind for my bedroom but when I placed it on the couch, I knew it's right where it belonged. Plus I went a completely different route than I expected for my bedroom. Oops... Moving on...

The coffee table and rugs! How aggressive is it that I have 3 rugs in such a small space? Don't answer that question, just let it happen. Originally the designer had it just as the light cowhide rug layered on top of the jute rug but I added my old cowhide rug to add some more color into the room and I love the look of it! You can never have too much cowhide I guess! 

The coffee table is from CB2 but you can find acrylic coffee tables basically anywhere these days. I know you can find them at World Market for cheaper than CB2, so if you're interested I have that linked here! On top of the table, I have this little bone inlay box I found at Home Goods, it was a steal for bone inlay anything!  Then I have my favorite coffee table books out, my all time favorite one is this book called The New Bohemians because it has major design inspo in it. I read this book by the pool... no joke. And finally, what tour would be complete without an Anthropologie candle? I live for the Capri Blue Volcano candle that makes your apartment smell like an Anthro store. It's a dream come true for my nose. Wow, I really sold you on that candle, didn't I?

So that's my apartment living room! I adore my apartment so much, the windows really give the apartment the best lighting ever, which obviously I find essential since I kinda need good lighting to film.
