It has been over four months since I moved into my apartment but I am still not anywhere near done with it. I am still adding little things here and there. And sometimes bigger pieces.

A month ago, the couch I bought in February finally arrived. I absolutely love it and am so happy with the pattern I chose for the upholstery. It is really comfortable and perfect for lounging or reading or watching TV. It is my very first own couch so as you can imagine I am really thrilled with it. My living room is mostly lots of earthy colors, white, beige, and brown, and it is my favorite room of the apartment. I still have to buy some more furniture for it (most notably a sideboard, a shelf and a couch table) but I already love the room as it is.

This past weekend, my best friend came to visit me here for the first time, and we went to a few stores in the area. I managed to snag up a few more things for my apartment.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought two plants for my living room and now I have added a third. The other two are plain simple green plants (a rubber fig and some kind of palm) but this one is a bit different. It’s an Asian lily, and when I walked past it, I fell in love with its colors pretty much right away. The splash of color it adds to my living room makes me happy.

The next one was a really lucky find in a store that I didn’t even know sold any decorative items. It’s a very simple wall clock but I loved the design of it and I knew where I’d put it as soon as I saw it (I had been planning on getting a clock for my living room wall anyway). At just €5 I really couldn’t resist and what can I say – I have no regrets about buying it.

Another lucky find my best friend and I made on Saturday was what is probably the most perfect store. It specializes in ‘pretty things,’ jewelry, picture frames, soap, furniture, decor, kitchen utensils, etc., lots of it vintage and most adorable. We talked to the store owners a bit and they said that the store is just their hobby on the side and you could totally tell from how much love and creativity they poured into it.

In fact, it was so amazing that I could not resist taking a few pictures of it, and will be dedicating an entire post to it soon, so watch out for that. I promise you will fall in love with that store just like we did. And just for a little sneak peek, I’ll show you what I bought there. Isn’t this the most adorable sugar bowl?

Excuse all the superlatives in the previous two paragraphs, I am just really in love with this gem of a store. (I know, hard to tell, right?) It brings me so much joy to add these little things to my home. My home. I really consider myself lucky for having found such a beautiful apartment in this smallest of small towns.

What do you like best about your home?

It took me long enough, but I have finally gotten around to taking the pictures for part 2 of my little apartment tour. If you missed part 1 of this post, you can find it here.

My couch is actually scheduled to be delivered next week so if all goes well, I will be able to share a picture of my then a little more furnished living room soon.

We’ll start with the bedroom – which is still looking a bit minimalistic what with the lack of pictures on the wall but I do plan on putting up some frames eventually.

I have yet to find a nice bedside table for my bedroom to replace the pink IKEA table (which used to be on my balcony in my previous apartment).

I love my dressing table. It was really the only non-essential piece of furniture I bought and it was a great decision to get it.

I love my walk-in closet! It’s great having so much space for my clothes and being able to easily pick what I want to wear. Not to mention it’s super-easy to make my bedroom look all neat by simply shoving everything into the closet. Heh.

This is my office. So far the most redundant room in my apartment as I haven’t been using it at all due to the chaos that reigned in this room and particularly on the desk until this weekend. But believe it or not, I am currently sitting at my desk writing this post so I am thinking I’ll be using it more in the future. Ironically, this is probably the room that looks the most moved in out of all the rooms in my apartment.

I’ve already run out of space on my bookshelves.

As you can see, there is still lots to do, especially in terms of decorating but so far I haven’t had the time or inspiration for that. I still have a few small boxes of random junk to sort through but eventually, I want to get around to putting up some pictures on the walls.
