What does it look like?!
I was always fortunate enough to have amazing roommates in college because they were my best friends! We had a running joke that we should have our own TV show because we were so funny and it could be called "Da Crib." That name has continued on as now I have my own place that I get to share with my boyfriend's sister in the Milwaukee area.
It has definitely taken a while to get settled since there were more important expenses like kitchen supplies and then furniture. Now that I've been moved in for a couple months it really is starting to feel like home.
This is my bedroom! I'm not used to the hardwood floors yet, so I had to get a big carpet to keep my feet warm. Courtesy of Goodwill and my hoarding tendencies since I was little, I was able to pull everything together and it matched! I've done lots of art projects over the years and received gifts which brought the room together. I would say this is an old-fashioned style room what with the artwork and eclectic pieces - but really it's just me!
The sunflowers prints I did my freshman year of school and the canvases are my favorite - the canvases are full of personally important Bible passages and meaningful quotes. I love that my room is a concoction of all things that mean so much to me ❤
This is our living room and I absolutely love it - our goal was to have the decor of anything but poor college students. Fortunately, my roommate purchased some of the larger pieces and then we got lucky with Goodwill finds! We're still deciding on which pieces to add to the walls, but I love how much it's come together. The chair is the perfect spot for reading and the couch is a great place to watch some reality TV.
We were so lucky to find an apartment that had a little extra square footage and provided us with a dining room and buffet area. You can't really tell from the pictures but the buffet is filled with books! I love that we have a formal space to entertain when I have friends over for a weekend or if Josh and I are having a more formal dinner on a Typical Monday Night.
The bathroom was the easiest set up in the whole apartment since we basically only had to get a shower curtain! Then luckily an old gift fit in perfectly too. And don't worry because there's a hallway closet that holds a ton of storage for us. I also fashioned a DIY bathtub stopper for those nights you just need to unwind a little!
One of my favorite places in the apartment is the kitchen. The lighting and cupboard storage is great, but it really was complete after my roommate found this breakfast cart. It provides extra prep space when I whip up an elaborate meal, but it's a great place to enjoy morning coffee and a light lunch. Sometimes I'll eat dinner there on my alone nights with a good book.
Well, that's my apartment! It took a while to settle in, especially since I moved in over the course of a month since it was the tail end of the school year. The excitement kept getting postponed since I only moved a couple boxes at a time - and then I didn't even have a real bed my first weekend there! And don't worry I do now!
But now it feels normal to have my room and favorite spots. There are things that I miss about not being home in Michigan, but luckily I have plenty of pictures to remember it all and family is only a phone call away. The city is growing on me and I'm fortunate to live in a walkable neighborhood with adorable shops and church is right down the road. It's strange to think how much I've grown up in these few months living in an apartment and I can only thank God for all that He has blessed me with.

My friend Bekah recently moved into her own apartment, so check out her most recent post to see what hers looks like!
