Adam and I purchased our first piece of artwork for the apartment last weekend, which was really fun! It has us thinking about giving our space a bit of a refresh. Since Adam purchased the apartment furnished, we haven’t made any changes to layout or even added much of our own decor. Now that I’ve settled in, it’s time to add a few new pieces to make our home cozier and really “us”. Anyway, so far we’re all about vintage 70’s and rustic pieces, so these are just a few that caught my eye online.

I’m off to get ready for the bridal shower tomorrow! Myself and the other bridesmaids are throwing the shower for my best friend tomorrow and there is SO much to do today! It’ll be such an amazing shower, I can’t wait to show you all the pictures.

Hope you’re having a great weekend xo

    Loving everything you picked, hopefully you can find some similar things in the city! If I remember correctly, though it'd be entirely possible if I didn't since I was in a big stupor when I saw you last, you were already doing a bit of decor shopping…if you got any new snazzy things, I want to see pics. Hope you're having a great weekend love!

    I'm seriously impressed that Adam managed to find an apartment to buy that came fully furnished! But I also fully understand the need to make the space your own… I'm still trying to scrub all the down homeness that the previous owners imparted into our place out of it; some days I feel like I live in a cottage! I adore the Anthro lap you've chosen. I hope it finds its way into your home and we get to see some photos 🙂

    PS; Good luck with the shower tomorrow! Hopefully we'll get to see you for a bit, but if not, it's fully understandable. Showers are exhausting.

    such a fun process. I can't wait to see pictures of the place once it has your little touch!

    That lamp is too cute! I'm in the market for some homey accessories too. Thanks for the suggestions 🙂

    Ooh first piece of art?! That's so grown-up! Love that you're adding your own personal touches, I'm totally the nesting type and tend to add a TON of personal touches! (desperately trying to justify those lilypad plates… gorgeous!) xxx
