DAY FIVE: Kitchen decor
DAY ONE: Rugs
Everyday I am sharing Pinterest Boards and shopping carts. Today we chatted RUGS
I picture this one in my Kitchen area! Its to bright and vibrant. It is wool and hand tuffted so maybe a little to hard to clean for a kitchen you get the vibe.
Blokzijl Hand Tufted Wool Southwestern Rug
This is a washable alternative kitchen runner! I think the animals are so cute and add soooo much personality
Langley Street® Lonniet Geometric Area Rug & Reviews | Wayfair
This one is great if your space is Already really Bring and you need to tone it down but want to keep the funky personlity. LOVVVEEE In a bedroom. But keep in mind that Jute can be rough and maybe you'd like a wool rug here
Mickie Southwestern Handmade Flatweave Jute Black/Ivory Area Rug
I Love this one - its wool and you can see its such high quality. Put it ANYWHERE
Katasha Checked Wool Area Rug
Completely Obsessed!!!! The texture, colors, and details make my design heart so very happy
Ebern Designs Gretchen Checked Wool Area Rug & Reviews | Wayfair
Another green rug - I have always love green rugs. (fun fact my childhood bedroom had the coziest dark green carpet) I like the simplicity of this couled with the scalloped edge
Chris Loves Julia x Loloi Scottie Olive / Pebble Area Rug
Another Jute rug! This one is calsic and again I picture it in the bedroom - but I am thinking of recovering a vintage arm chair in orange so the blue contrast might calm things down a bit.
Chris Loves Julia x Loloi Rue Moss / Blue Area Rug & Reviews | Wayfair
DAY TWO: Dividers
Today We chatted abit about my plans for a room divider - its no where near as fun as my rugs were, but its another expense we may have to bare in the execution of out dream Studio Apartment
I picture 1 of these or the option that it all shelves full of plants and art supplies... Do you see it? if not I have a very specific refrecne photo featured in my Instgram series!!!
IVAR Shelving unit - with box shelf/pine 35x11 3/4x70 1/4 "
I didn't see this before, and not ideal for my layout, but I LOVEEE the space saving option of putting a table there. Maybe be careful if this is free standing - I imagine this and the other IVAR next to it.
IVAR 1 sec/foldable table/sliding door - pine/felt 35x11 3/4x70 1/2 "
Another IVAR shelf!!! I love the details of on the doors (its Ikea so there are soooo many options in this family). If I put this one in my space I would add more shevles and some boxes to the open side.
IVAR Shelf unit with doors - pine 52 3/4x11 3/4x70 1/2 "
Which ever version of the ivar shelf you chose i recomend at least a few of these boxes. I just think that they are Darling and a cute way to utilize verical storage in a small space.
IVAR Box shelf with divider - pine 32 3/4x11 3/4x9 7/8 "
You Guessed it More IVAR - these are endlessly customizable
IVAR Shelf unit - pine 31x12x33 "
Okay this one is pricey for sure, but if you like a cleaner look I would pick this one over the typical accordion style partition things
Sleek Surface Designs Solid Wood and Rattan Partition with Storage Shelf | Wayfair
Heres a more finished option from wayfair, ita also much more expensive. This is a piece that if you invest in for your small space you will be able to keep it with you if you eventually move to a slightly larger space
Rowena Interiors Mango Wood Slatted Bookcase with 4 Shelves, Natural & Reviews | Wayfair
another shelf option, not aesthically my favorite - BUT i love the price and with some cute and intentionally styles bins and decor this could work really well on a budget
Latitude Run® Bamboo Shelf, 6 Tier Bookcase Storage Shelves, Tall Book Rack Shelving Unit, Multipurpose Storage Display Shelf Adjustable Storage Rack | Wayfair
Another slightly more buget friendly option - I like that the lower storage has cabinet doors. This is really nice in small spaces. All Unslightly things go behind doors or in drawers
Bay Isle Home™ Smithton 70.9" H x 30.7" W Standard Bookcase & Reviews | Wayfair
I imagine 2 of these next to eachother, and then a little DIY covering the back with plywood pr a peg board. This will create a little bit more privacy and I think that adding to the back will make the cutout feel a little bit more finished - especal...
Ebern Designs Modern Bookcase & Reviews | Wayfair
DAY THREE: Pinterest board
I have 3 different sizes of these in my studio RIGHT NOW! I love these for a few reasons.
1. Visual Impact - the metal reflects light so it helps to brighten the space, while being utilitarian and simple.
2. It is light weight and easy to move. Cha...
OMAR 1 section shelving unit 36 1/4x14 1/8x71 1/4 "
Still on the hunt for my Favorite WIng back chair - we will probrbaly feature seating in the near future. This one is cute and simple
Alcott Hill® Duward Berio 31.1"W Upholstered Linen Wingback Accent Chair with Rolled Arm & Reviews | Wayfair
I LOVE ME A secretary desk!!! Especially in a small space... When you are not working fold uo the desk and tuck the chair away. (I found mine at an antique fair but this one is GORG!!)
Bloomsbury Market Tavernia Phoenix Secretary Desk & Reviews | Wayfair
Usually this would go on my If money wan't an object board - but we are shopping my pinterest which is just a smaller version of that list. I will be dreaming of this chair for the forseeable future
Kershaw Chair
I love the contrast of a modern bed in a space full of vintage and vintage inspired pieces. Espcially in a studio apartment where visual separtaion is non-existant. having such a large piece be modern and simple gives the eye a pace to rest
Bay Isle Home™ Metal Bed Frame with Rattan Headboard & Reviews | Wayfair
DAY FOUR: Bedding
Honestly, I typically like patterned sheets - mostly becasue the dog sleeps in the bed and patterns hide stains.
BUT - Our Duvet cover is The undyed cotton waffel (also Linked on here). so this takes the place of the nuetral for our bed.
IF you have...
Classic Organic Percale Embellished Sheet Set in White/Dusty Olive
I had stripped sheets as a kid - they hold a special place in my heart. Again, if you have a more neutral duvet/ Quilt these are perect!
Classic Organic Percale Double Stripe Sheet Set in White/Pine
Same as the last but NO TOP SHEET!!!!
Classic Organic Percale Double Stripe Fitted Sheet Set in White/Navy
If you watched my video - I warned you that I was going to go a little crazy with my list.
Honestly bedding is one of my alllll time favorite things to shop for
Classic Organic Percale Floral Fitted Sheet Set in Green Florette
MORE STRIPES!!!
Though I love contrsting sheets I would avoid pairing thes strips with the other striped set, they are a little bit different.
This with the floral set !!!!! LOVE
European Linen Stripe Duvet Cover | Quince in Mist/White Stripe
Perfect ALL in one matching bed set. I know this isn't a typical thought of mine but all one pattern is really fun and you can make the bed simple and the art interesting - or add a bright throw blanket and pillows
Classic Organic Percale Double Stripe Deluxe Bedding Bundle in White/Navy
I have been on a HUGE orange kick the last few years. I like it an an acent color. Some people say adding a single pop of red can make a room feel complete - I am kinda feeling that way with orange. too much is still too much - they have other killer...
Cotton Fisherman Throw in Amber
Dreamy Bed loading!!! This by its self or added to a Duvet for the most hotel lux vibe add yet another throw to the mix and as many pillows as your space can hold.
I love the texture, it looks like gauze and light but has the weight of cotton
Organic Cotton Channel Quilt in Undyed
Bold Choice - and definately for someone without pets, and if that was me this would be in my home
Cotton Velvet Channel Quilt Set in Terracotta
Toss it on your bed to add color, tie in something else in the space, or just because you like it!
Corduroy Cotton Velvet Pillow in Pine
DAY FIVE: Kitchen decor
Maybe this belonga on my other board, but this is ony $28 and it made me smile SO big that it made in on the must have list
Glass Duck Cloche
I was hunding for a peper grinder for YEARSSSS I wish I had found this one back then!
Rubberwood Salt And Pepper Mill
Call me crazy, but I prefer a salt crock or cellar or whateve you want to call it. Mostly because it makes me feel COOL!
Ironwood Gourmet Salt Cellar
I have shelevs like this in my kitchen and I love them. Easy to clean and five a fun industrial look. I like that this is 2 racks - honestly I feel like you can nver have enough of these shelevs
Latitude Run® Storage Shelves
I can't seem to find these on my normal sites, BUTTT this is the Best Water ever and I am completely IN LOVE with this one!
Porcelain Water Dispenser - Green Striped
I fear that the 2026 version of fish is ducks. Hers's the thing - I actually Love duck decor, my dad and grandpa were both Obsessed with the duck stamp paintings. and I inhereted a few. and they are haning in my apartment right now
Loon Salt & Pepper Shakers
