Penny's apartment decorating thread

**Penny Lane** · June 12th, 2009, 01:28 PM

So, I'm moving into an apartment in approximately two months.. SO EXCITED!

.. And I wanted to put all my potential furniture, house-wares, linens, accents, etc in one thread and bounce ideas off of you guys. I'm going for kind of a folksy, romantic type of thing... it's hard for me to describe.. I want some good basic pieces and I really want to inject some fun and personality into accents like mirrors and pillows and stuff.. I'll update this thread as I come across stuff I think I might like. This is going to be so much fun!

Are you going to (or can you) paint the walls?

Can't wait to see your ideas! It's very exciting to get your own place.

I think I can paint my walls provided I paint them back when my lease is up... I never thought of that.. I think I'll go crazy with white walls!

Good so far-love the mirror! Sheets? Bed spread or comforter? Towel colors?

I saw that mirror at Outfitters today

This will be fun!

Neutral sofa.. not sure if I'm crazy about this, but I know I do need a sleeper sofa in a neutral color if I ever want to change my decorating scheme. This one is just a maybe.

^^ Thank you!!

Moving on from living room stuff to bedroom linens.. I'm taking my bed, nightstands, and dresser from home up to my apartment (although, I really would like new ones

).. the bed is a dark, espresso-colored wood with a curved headboard and end made of wooden slats with about two inches between them and the dresser and nightstands are both dark, espresso wood with silver hardware.. pretty neutral.

I like this quilt a bit.. not sure what scheme I'm settling on for my bedroom, though..
