Apartment Love

So it's been a blast living in the shoebox. My roommate is awesome and I like the way it's decorated.

(See decorating posts here , here, here and here for more) 

But I am so. over. it.

Maybe it's the fact that I spend more time in my room this semester than I have last semester but I swear the walls are closing in.

Spring Break is 5 school days away and I am practically counting down the hours.

To keep me sane I have been daydreaming about next years apartment and my very own room! *sigh*

Here are some ideas I have:

1. The Desk

Inspiration: 

Gah The Everygirl gets it right again. So this is the West Elm Parsons Desk. It's simple, classic, and beautiful. It's made even more so by the awesome style. The only bad thing is that the desk is $400. Not exactly breaking the bank, but also not exactly necessary for a fully furnished apartment.

Solution?

This bad boy. 

Looks the same right?? The only difference is the finish, which is easily remedied by some DIY. And for 75% off the price, it's a simple compromise.

This needs to happen.

2. Reading Chair

I want a snuggly chair that I can curl up into with a good book and a cup of coffee. There is a nook in my future room that is just begging for a cute accent chair to call a friend.

Here are a few that I enjoy:

3. Finally, the kitchen.

I CANNOT WAIT TO HAVE A KITCHEN AGAIN!

These are some savory dishes I am planning on having next semester:
