I’m gonna go ahead and ask you all to ignore the fact that we’ve now lived in this apartment for seven months, and I’m just now getting around to having it fully decorated and sharing it. Let’s just pretend that it took me a sensible month or two to finish the place (and show you). Shall we? Great.
Now that we’ve got that all taken care of, here’s our apartment! Well, as it stands right now. I kind of like to change things (a lot), so who knows what it’ll look like next month. But for now, here she is in all her glory.
Isn’t that bar cart just the business?! Dear darling Roxy at Society Social makes the best bar carts you can imagine. I’d been wanting one forever when we were living in NYC but we just didn’t have the space. And now this little beauty has all the room it needs.
One thing that I loooove about this place is that we have a workspace! Just me and Mr. Lovely, in our snuggly side-by-side desks, taking on the world.
The living room is pretty cozy, too.
And for those of you with a keen eye, yes, that is a blank canvas hanging on our bedroom wall. We can’t for the life of us figure out what to put on it. Suggestions?
Oh, and I still have a hard time believing that we have an actual dining table where we can eat! (And a kitchen that we can both stand in at the same time because it’s not teensy.) Seriously. I mean, eating dinner on the couch is awesome, but a girl likes to at least have an option, ya know?
And just a few more bits and pieces: a little patio the perfect size for two, lots of storage for books (and an ever-growing population of musical instruments), and plants everywhere you turn. We’re home. xoxo
P.S. If you see anything you love and would like to know the source, let me know in the comment section and I’ll do my best to help you out!
How about your sources for…everything? Your place looks amazing! I’ve been in my current apartment for about 6 months and I swear we’re not even close to this point. I’ll definitely be using this house tour as some major design inspiration, you have such great taste
I love how much pink you can get away with! Haha. Your workspace is my favorite part. So nice to be side by side
Looks great. Took us 10 years to decorate our house
I love your place!
I love your dining room table! Where did you get it from?
Hi Crystal! The dining table is from Urban Home (it was a steal — 80 bucks!).
Wow…What an absolutely beautifully decorated apartment! I love it!
LOVE your house. It’s so cute!
Chelsea, your home is lovely indeed
Seriously though, thanks so much for sharing this peek into your home. It’s so much fun to see inside homes, and see how much they’re a reflection of their owners 
Yours is so bright and cheery…and I adore your side-by-side workspace!
Thanks doll! I’m loving having you back in blogland so I get to know what you’re up to — it’s so wonderful to get peeks into your life with all of its new adventures. xo
I love your living room
I would LOVE to know where you got the piece of art hanging from clips near the bar cart! Also, I love all of your art choices and the letter press piece is amazing!
It’s actually from The Disney Gallery! It’s a reprint of the original concept of the Tahiti section of It’s a Small World. We picked it up the second half of our honeymoon in Disneyland, because the first half was in Tahiti! I’m not sure if you can still find them (we got it in 2011), but The Disney Gallery is here: http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyland/disney-gallery/
Your place is so awesome. 7 months is not a bad time line to decorate. Try 3 years…this chick.
Those giant jacks are catching my eye. Where did you pick those up.
Those are actually vintage, from my grandmother’s house! Sorry to say I’m not sure about the original source. But Z Gallerie has these, which are kind of similar! http://www.zgallerie.com/p-9955-aluminum-jacks.aspx
Love your place! It’s so lovely and inviting. We’ve living in our house almost 3 years and I still have yet to share a full house tour… You’ve inspired me to finally do it!
Would love to see it!
Your apartment is LOVELY, just like your blog. It is such a pleasant time whenever I drop by here. It always feels so cheery and I love that it’s one of my solutions if I ever need a pick-me-up. Your space is such an inspiration to all of us renters! Thank you for sharing and I truly truly love coming here.
What sweet comments, Celestine! So glad you have a good time here.
What a beautiful home! No matter the time, you got it decorated and it’s lovely indeed.
So cute!!! I would kill for a work space like that! Husband and I both still use the kitchen table
your home is beautiful, chelsea! i loved it all! especially the pineapple print – so cute
Thanks Sho! It’s been fun to have a place with some space after our tiny NYC apartment. Loving it here.
Oh! How how cute. Love the colors. Love the style. And I love when I can relate.
GREAT POST!
I love your apartment! It is so LOVELY!
In your kitchen, there is a united states cutting board? Where did you get that from? I’m a history major and that would be awesome to have in my kitchen.
Yes! It was from the Curiosity Shoppe shop at Target a few months back. I’m not sure if you can still find it — maybe if you search around online a bit!
Thanks! I look it up!
Your space is beautiful! It looks so cozy and well styled. Great pictures too. I love many things in it, but I’m in the market for a more functional desk. Where are yours from? Is the bottom drawer a filing cabinet?
Thanks!
Love the photos. So jealous of that bar cart!

Lovely apartment! May I ask where you got the poster/picture over the little table, the one with the parrot?
Hi Dotty! We actually got that in Mexico on vacation, from a man who was selling them on the beach.
I would love to know where that big white work desk is from!
SO. MUCH. AWESOME.
Are you not like bursting with joy every second??
Beautiful place! I’ve been pining over a SS bar cart, I hope to get one soon.
I love your string of pearl plants and their pretty pots. I think it has inspired me to do something similar!
I’m in love with your place. Beautiful! That bar cart is my dream come true. Love it! Very inspirational. Our walls are still bare & white after living here for over 6 months. This makes me want to get to work!
YESSS! Can we talk about that fabulous fox letter opener?
P.S. I also really enjoyed your DIY Gold Dotty Mousepad tutorial.
I love your place,Nicely done.
Lovely! I love all the plants and treasures from traveling.
Love it all! But particularly interested in where you got the gold flatware? Obsessed! xo
