Welcome to the Basement

Decorating, Apartment Living and Simplifying

First decorating... I received two of these super fun colored mats from a neighbor.

These are my inspiration for wanting some color in our little place.

Remember we are in a basement right now so everything is super open

I don't know if you can see the Bumbo on the kitchen table but it

is the same color!

Super drab... lots of great traditional things but no color

$50.00 later...

We have some color! I bought 3 pillows, the tray and the color photo book,

and the little glass bowl with pebbles.

oh and bread.

This is up on the media center. The pencils and markers add color as well as the

orange storage lids

Here is a close up of the decor on the table

Apartment living can be rough. Here is an idea to make it a little easier

Kitchen Island

Have you thought about one of these?

So worth the money.

One thing we never have in apartments is enough counter space/pantry storage

It rolls around and looks great up against the wall to put away.

We love it!

Part of my simplifying is getting rid of excess things

These are all the wisks, wooden spoons, serving spoons, spatulas, ect. I have.

Don't take up a lot of space and look great in the kitchen.

What do you think of getting everything in so far?

We have only been here for a week so we have a long way to go.
