My college apartment is my home away from home! This is my third year living in an apartment off campus and I love it. Over the past couple years I have enjoyed decorating my apartment with functional yet cute decor. My favorite room to decorate has definitely been my bedroom! I feel like this room is a perfect reflection of my style and personality. The colors are mostly baby pink, light gray and white. I made sure that each detail is soft and girly as well as functional!

Some of my favorite items in my apartment:

1) In my bathroom, I painted both of the quote canvases on the walls. I also painted the canvas hanging in my laundry closet.

2) The letter board in my kitchen is a fun little place to put a quote or a message! I usually keep it saying "Home Sweet Apartment" but I have also written "Bless this Mess", "Messy Buns and Get Stuff Done" as well as, "Happy Homecoming" or "Good Luck on Finals".

3) The three mirrors hanging in my hallway were only $20 from Target and they are perfect on that otherwise bare wall.

4) My monogram that hangs over my bed is my favorite piece! Ben (my boyfriend) hand made this for me a couple of years ago! I love how it acts as a centerpiece for my room and really ties the whole theme together. My mom also hand stitched the "Sleep In" pillow to match a Kate Spade graphic I found on Pinterest. My room was inspired by Kate Spade because of my Kate Spade polka dot comforter!

5) The pink, furry stool by my window was an impulse buy at Hobby Lobby last year, but I couldn't resist the baby pink fur! Although no one ever sits on it, it makes for a cozy corner in my room. Above it hangs a sign that says "Eat Well, Travel Often". On my window sill I keep a dancer statue, two candles and a framed picture of me and my Morkie, Emmy! This year I added the sheer curtain that is pulled to one side.

Watch the video below for an entire tour of my apartment and to see how I personalized each room!

Xoxo, Liv
