small spaces

I'd love to show actual pictures of our apartment but there is stuff every.where.
Seriously, you don't realize how much stuff you have until you live in a 1 bedroom apartment.

We've moved from a 3 bedroom house-- to a 2 bedroom apartment-- now a 1 bedroom apartment. Our spaces keep getting smaller (yet our rent gets bigger--ugh!)


I am forced to be smart with space and have filled up drawers. Oh and you should see how I've utilized the kitchen cabinets-- efficient! (Carrie Bradshaw would be proud)


Since I can't I'm too embarrassed to show you the piles of clothes, stacks of plastic containers (that I have to part with-- no room) and odds and ends that have yet to find a home... I'll share with you some tidbits of what I have done!!

love our plantation shutters + new side table (can't wait to put an over-sized comfy chair and ottoman here-- great spot for cuddles and reading!)

eclectic mix of bathroom accessories + a vase with seashells from our Costa Rica vaca 

new wine glasses and cocktail area-- can't wait to entertain!! 

kitchen jars -- everyday favs (brown sugar & sugar, pasta noodles, rice and waiting for popcorn kernels)

There ya have it friends. Just a sneak peak of what's going on here in our apartment. I need to get over my OCD-stat!

And just because she's too stinkin' cute ;)

Tonight James is taking me to my first Giants game!! Super excited for some beer + hotdogs! Yaaaay!
