DECORATING MY DREAM APARTMENT ✨ “cool girl” Pinterest aesthetic decor

Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The video documents a dedicated effort to transform a newly moved-into apartment from an undecorated shell into a fully realized space with a distinct "cool girl" aesthetic. The creator acknowledges that despite moving in over six months ago, the apartment had remained largely unfinished due to life getting in the way and her tendency to prioritize other tasks. To overcome this procrastination, she takes decisive action by visiting IKEA to purchase simple white frames for wall art and browsing HomeSense for various decor items. A significant portion of the vlog is dedicated to her entry into "bridal era," where she showcases personalized wedding gifts sourced from Etsy, including a custom purse, clip-on veil, glasses, vanity case, and hairbrushes, highlighting how these sentimental items help make the daunting process of wedding planning more exciting. A major focus of the decorating journey involves upgrading functional areas with style, particularly in the laundry room and living space. The creator installs a new shelving unit to maximize storage for household essentials like paper towels and toilet paper, while also solving the challenge of waste management by selecting a compact, pedal-operated garbage can that matches her Smeg appliances. In the living room, she refreshes the decor by swapping out old pillows for new dark brown ones and draping a heavy, soft chocolate-colored blanket over the couch to create a cohesive "brown on brown" look. She also unboxes heavy marble stone trays intended for the entryway console and tests a sleek, color-changing lamp in different corners of the room to improve mood lighting without adding clutter to the TV console area. The video concludes with the creator expressing satisfaction with her progress while noting that the project is still ongoing as she continues to hunt for specific items like organizational bins for her closet and shelving unit. She shares her thoughts on various products found at HomeSense, such as a cheetah-print blanket and patterned storage containers, explaining her decision-making process regarding size, color, and return policies. Although some initial plans, like hanging a large photo print, require minor adjustments like trimming the image to fit the frame, she remains optimistic about the final result. The overarching theme is one of turning a chaotic, unfinished space into a curated home that reflects her personality, proving that consistent small steps can lead to significant aesthetic improvements even when perfection isn't immediately achieved.

[music] >> Hello you guys. Welcome to my decorating vlog. Our apartment has been at a standstill for literally so long now or at least it's felt like so long. We need to get some decorating going so I'm at IKEA and I'm going to do the whole nine yards for decorating our apartment cuz I feel like if I just don't take action, nothing is going to happen. I can't expect my apartment to just magically decorate itself. You know what I mean? And part of my goal moving into the new place was let's actually decorate it and make it really nice and actually curate a vibe and an aesthetic. So that is the goal for this vlog. I think this might be like my last moving vlog in the series. I know this is long awaited you guys. I know it's long awaited, but honestly like life gets in the way. Once your place is like at a point where it's like extremely livable, it's just not decorated to how you'd like, it's easy to just put it on the back burner so it's literally just been on the back burner. I'm at IKEA. I'm here to pick up a couple frames for the wall art and I'm just going to kind of browse and see what they have. So step one, let's see if they have frames and whatever and we'll go from there. Just got to do the damn thing cuz then in our townhouse I didn't do the damn thing and that's why it never got decorated to its full potential. So this apartment I vowed to myself that we're going to make it happen. Joel doesn't care about the decor choices at all. If it was up to him, he would have nothing on the walls. He doesn't care. He's a boy. You guys know since last year just before we moved in this apartment, I have been in my bridal era. After a literal year of being engaged, we are slowly dipping our toes into wedding planning. I feel like the reason why we put it off for so long is because it seems so daunting from all of the little details that you'd want to have at your wedding, your bridal shower, your bachelorette party. It's just a lot to plan, a lot to think of, a lot to buy and it just kind of overwhelmed us. But we are now slowly after a year of being engaged dipping our toes into wedding planning. So, I did reach out to a venue and we're going to go tour it, which is so exciting. It'll be our first tour, and I'm obviously going to make a bunch of wedding content once the time comes, like planning and stuff, and take you guys along that journey. One thing that I realized is going to be so helpful when it comes to buying little wedding favors, like bridal party gifts, like all of that kind of stuff, like personalized items for the wedding, the place to do that is Etsy, you guys. Ah, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would love to thank Etsy for sponsoring today's video. That is so insane to say out loud. Getting me so excited for wedding planning because they have so many amazing wedding, bridal items on there that you can totally customize and personalize, and it's so cool. Star of the show, the first thing that I got from Etsy entering my bridal era is this beautiful purse. It is so stunning. She is gorgeous. This is going to be coming everywhere with me for my bridal shower, for my bachelorette trip. She's going to be worn with all of my fits. Like this is just so beautiful and dainty, and then it says "Mrs." at the bottom. I got that personalized on. How freaking cute, and it's perfect to either get for yourself for your own wedding or as a gift. Like this is such a thoughtful, beautiful gift that I'm sure any bride would adore. Next thing that I got from Etsy, you don't even know how excited I am about this to wear this at like my bridal shower and bachelorette trip, this clip-on veil. And look at these little details with the bows and the pearls. I'm obsessed. Ah, you guys, I'm in my bridal era. This is so cute. She's in her bridal era, okay? How adorable. Even especially with like an updo or something, this is going to be out and about on my bachelorette trip, busting it down at the club or wherever we go. I got this for such a reasonable price, too, because I know veils can get so expensive. I'm obsessed. Show you guys up close here how beautiful it is. Next thing I got from Etsy are these customized glasses. These would be such an amazing wedding gift if you're attending a wedding soon or to even customize for your own wedding. I got them customized with my name and Joel's name, so how freaking cute this is? Why would make such a great wedding gift cuz you can get it customized with the groom and the bride's name. But how adorable? The seller did such an amazing job. Came with these little bows that I tied on and it's just so beautiful. Next thing I got is this customized makeup vanity case. How adorable is it? It's such good quality. I foresee myself getting these for all of my bridesmaids, [music] maid of honor for the bachelorette trip. How fun would that be? This would also be a great gift for the bride, but I got it customized with my own name. How cute? Open it up, it has little compartments in it. I've attended a couple weddings recently. I feel like a customized gift is like the best gift you can give cuz it's so sentimental and Etsy has so many options for customizable gifts and stuff. So this is so adorable. Imagine this with all the girls' names on it for my bridesmaids and I'm going to be using this all the time, but I'm going to save it for my bachelorette trip. I got a will you be my maid of honor card. How cute is this? I completely customized it. It is so cute. I picked out the color, font, literally everything and it's so gorgeous. I addressed this to my sister. Once the time comes that I'm going to ask all my bridesmaids, I will definitely be getting them custom cards as well. The more personalized I feel like you make things, the better. Speaking of gifts to give or things that I'm thinking of putting in my bridesmaids boxes are these hairbrushes you guys. So I got one for myself first and foremost to use during the bachelorette trip and like on my wedding day and stuff, but this would also be such an amazing gift for my bridesmaid. I got a customized white hairbrush with my name on it. How gorgeous? This just screams wedding. And then I also got one with my sister's name on it. So I got hers in like this really pretty like emerald green and it's totally customized. Such a thoughtful gift. And last but not least, I got this lace head scarf. I will put the photos that I saw on Etsy that inspired me. I'm like, "Oh my gosh, this would be so cute for a from and Mrs. shoot like right before the wedding. How gorgeous is this? Beautiful. I am just obsessed with this. She kind of I'm pretty sure how to tie it like this like at this moment. I need to obviously tie this properly, but you get the point. And I just feel like it is so versatile and can be used for so many beautiful things. Like look at that. Even got some notes from some of the sellers. How thoughtful and cute is this? I'm already having so much fun on Etsy for my wedding era and for buying people wedding gifts. Etsy literally has everything. And if you guys want to shop any of the bridal products that I just showed, obviously they will all be linked in my description. As daunting as wedding planning is, Etsy is making it so exciting for me to like go pick out and customize a bunch of adorable cute things where I don't have to go shop on different websites. I can do it all on there. Thank you so much to Etsy for sponsoring today's video. Once again, I'm so grateful and don't forget to shop everything down below. Cannot wait to bring you guys along all the wedding planning content. >> [music] [music] >> Here is the frame section. I just got to find exactly what I want cuz these are as you could see a little bit more decorative, but I think I'm just going to go for like the literal white basic frame because I don't need anything more than that. This one is super cheap. Let's see if I can find a little bit of a better one. Okay, here they are. These are my favorite frames. They're just super simple basic, $25, which isn't horrible, but I feel like they're really good quality. So, I'm just going to check around to see if there's anything else, but I feel like I'm going to get these white ones cuz I love the aesthetic of a white frame, especially for like an apartment and the way that I want to decorate it. I already have a black one. I'm going to make a picture for my black one, but I think for what I have right now, I'm going to do white. >> [music] [music] >> Okay, so I got three 50 by 70 cm and then one 41 by 51 for the bathroom, bit smaller. I just got the photos, one of the photos printed. It looks amazing. I got this print off of Etsy by the way, so I will link it down below, but look at how nice it is. So, let's frame it. It's going to go in this white frame that I bought today from IKEA. All right, let me just move things around a little bit. I'm actually very impressed by the quality. I'm pretty sure London Drugs is a Canadian brand. If you're in the States, you can always get it printed at like I've heard Walgreens does it, Walmart, anywhere where there's like a photo lab, you can get it printed. It cost me, I think $26 for that size, which is honestly really good. Oh, I think it has a plastic film on top that I need to take off. >> [music] [music] >> Okay. I'm so excited. Oh my gosh, I'm glad I just finally pulled the plug on art because I never did this in the old house. Let's see the instructions. What does it say? Okay. Oh, remove the plastic film, blah blah blah. Oh, what's that? That's double-sided. This needs to go down first. Okay. These little black things, oh my gosh, they're so annoying cuz they all need to be like perfectly aligned. Okay, now we take the photo, put it in. It's a bit large. Oh, no. What? Why is it big? Are we going to have to do a chopping situation here? Uh-oh. >> [snorts] >> So freaking cute. I love the retro vibes, but we are going to have to cut this a little bit. What the heck? I swear. Hmm. Okay, interesting. Yeah, it's going to have to be chopped a little bit. Oh, that's scary. I have to cut a photo. Okay, I might pick this up another time because I don't have that much time right now to do all the cutting and stuff. So, this will be TBD and we will come back to this when I have more time because I don't want to do a botched job. So, I want to make sure I take my time to do this. So, we'll come back to this. But, I can't believe I printed this same dimensions. Like, I'm actually really confused. Maybe it was like a few like an inch or two, but no. That doesn't make any sense. Nothing I can do about it. At least it's too big and not too small cuz too small is actually horrible. But, too big, we can work with that. So. >> [music] [music] >> Yeah, that one is good. Perfect. >> Looks so good. A little bit shorter. Wait, let me see. Is that where we had it? >> Um. >> We had it like there. >> Yeah, I think that looks good. >> Locked in? >> Wait, let me see from this angle. Yeah. >> [music] >> Good? >> You're so annoying sometimes [music] with the light right now. >> [music] [music] >> Finally in the laundry room, this is what I was building the shelf for. It looks so good and it just gives us so much storage. It just like narrows this hallway a bit to do laundry, but that's honestly a good trade-off for like all this storage. So, I'm just going to fill it now and then I'll show you guys the after, but we needed this for like paper towel, toilet paper, and like all that fun stuff. I cannot be happier, you guys. Garbage can finally came in. It took me so long to figure out our garbage and recycling situation and I had no idea what I was going to do. Cuz I was thinking we could get like a two-paneled garbage can where half of it is recycling, half of it is garbage, but then something like that is really, really big and kind of obnoxious, but I knew if it was smaller, I would want more space for the garbage and whatever. So, what I ended up doing was I got a blue recycling bin that I'm putting in the laundry room that just fits up against the wall. It's like about this big, so it's not too big, but it'll incentivize us to take out the recycling more often. And then I got a nice size garbage can that looks good, so we're going to leave it out and it low-key matches our snake appliances. I'll show you guys the color, but it looks really nice. I don't know if you guys know this, but garbage cans can literally range from a hundred to like three hundred dollars. And I'm like, why are they so expensive? Why is it so expensive to get a nice garbage can? This should be like forty bucks. I do not understand. Oh my god, it is so pretty. Actually is exceeding my expectations right now. Look at her in all of her glory. Oh wow, guys. See, this is what I wanted was a garbage can that looks cute. It's not an eyesore. Has a little foot pedal. I was debating between getting the electric one or this one, but I'm like electric one can cause issues. You know what I mean? Like who knows? And you also have to charge it. So I was like this is just simple. Don't have to worry about it. Straightforward and simple. She is so pretty and you guys see what I mean by like matching my Smeg appliances. Let's get her set up and then I'll show you guys. Here is the new garbage can all set up. But do you guys see what I mean by like it matches my Smeg's perfectly. This is honestly the perfect size because this can still open perfectly. And then also these drawers are totally fine. Like I'm very very content with the size, the look. It's so cute. But yeah, look at this set up. I just press it and she opens up. And then it's soft close of course. But this is just better than digital in my opinion. And then the lid hides the trash bin so you can't even see it. She is stunning. I'm so happy. Honestly worth the money cuz it's going to be literally out in our kitchen. Hello you guys. I'm currently in Winners / HomeSense and I'm here to find anything and everything that will be useful for decorating. I'm going to look for more photos. See if anything sparks my attention and just like random things. Like this marble bowl is so cute. Like look at that. That's adorable. So like little things that I can think of that we need. Like this would be a perfect front entryway bowl if I already didn't have. Like just little things like that which we don't have right now is what I'm trying to find. So, keep you guys updated. This is such a cute zebra print bed. Like, I love it, but it really just like looks used. I feel like this was definitely a return. Like, look at that. You can kind of tell an animal has been comfortably using this. So, this is definitely a no, but I love the idea of this if it wasn't like literally felt so used. This is giving thrift store find, not HomeGoods. Okay, you can't tell me this pillow isn't giving. I feel like for the couch it would be a perfect addition with like the dark brown. So, we'll see. I love how everything from here is returnable though in case I don't like it. These cheetah towels, are you kidding me? I'm obsessed. I need to restrain myself because I don't need more towels. These would be so perfect for the guest bathroom. Ashley, the HomeStore, like the furniture store, they clutched up. I actually got a comment on one of my previous videos where my dining table was from. So, I wanted to show you guys, which I will in a second, but got the shipment in like last week, so I'm finally going to open everything and show you guys what I got. This place is I feel like finally coming together after a long awaited time. It's finally coming together. Let's open this. It's really tightly wrapped. Like, nothing is getting past this box, that's for sure. So, I ordered some two marble dish credenza things for our keys when we walk in for the front entrance. I actually don't even think I measured them, to be honest, so I'm sure they'll be fine. They are heavy. I'm like, what the heck did I even order here? I kind of forgot. Have to go and do the recycling after this. I did not expect them to be this heavy. Like, this is a full-blown weight. I can work out with this. Oh my god, beautiful. Look at that little stone. Or was it marble? What is this? Stone? This is a natural stone product. Very pretty, and this is going to go I'll show you guys on our entryway table, and there's two in them. So, they're going to go side by side for our keys and stuff, just like miscellaneous stuff when we enter the house. Perfect for decor. Then we're going to open one more here. Beautiful. Here's the second one. So, they're pretty small but hefty. Can literally do like some presses with these. I also have another box. So, let me go get that and we'll open that together. I also got a blanket from them, like a dark chocolate brown. Oh my god, it's so soft. A long-haired blanket, which I feel like is so chic with our brown couch, like brown on brown. I freaking love that. I'm just going to put on the couch so I can open it up in a second, but how freaking cute. And then one last box here I think is the pillows cuz I'm pretty sure I got pillows. Oh, these are look like they're like vac Yeah, they're vacuum sealed. Got to fluff them up. There we go. Oh my god, cute. These are actually so diva. Like the long-haired brown. I'm obsessed. I'm going to swap them out for the pillows that I have right now cuz these pillows I do we just took from our town home and they they do the job. They're super comfy, honestly, but I wanted something more like this apartment style. So, that matches the blanket and then I got two of them. So, perfect. Oh my gosh, I actually love them. They are so diva. This apartment, as you guys know, I wanted to decorate diva style, like diva apartment vibes. Fun, cheetah print, very fun decor vibe and these match that. So, let's swap out the pillows, put on the blanket. I'm also going to go do a recycling run just to get this out of the apartment. That is what I've learned living here is it's so easy to dispose of garbage and recycling because of the garbage room that we have here as opposed to our town home, we didn't have a garbage room. We had to like fit everything into these yellow bags, but here it's so easy. You just walk everything down to the garbage room and dispose of it. It's so amazing, honestly, especially for the amount of recycling that we have on a daily. Yeah, we barely even dispose of garbage. It's mostly just recycling every day, but anyways, let's swap out the couch and I will show you guys what it looks like. Okay, so this is how the couch looks before. These are the pillows that I was talking about, the ones that we just brought from our townhome. So, I'm going to push these to the side because these are so slay, but keep these obviously in storage. I'm even debating keeping these balls on the couch. I'm going to see what the couch looks like with them and then without them because they are a little bit annoying, not going to lie, but they are really cute. I also love this blanket that we got. I found it on a whim on Amazon. It's not even available anymore, unfortunately, but it's like a Lola blanket dupe. It is so soft, it's so heavy. It's like the best blanket I've ever purchased. Aliya was over, one of my friends, and she's like, "Oh my gosh, can you send me the link?" and I went to go retrieve the link and it was no longer available. And then I looked at their other blankets and they were like double the price. So, I'm pretty sure they were probably just trying to get rid of this print or something, so it was on such a good sale. I got it for $50 and I was about to spend like $300 on a down Lola blanket and I was like, "May as well just try one from Amazon." It's so good. It's like my favorite blanket of all time. >> [music] >> Okay, let's see what this looks like with the brown pillows alone and then I'm going to see what it looks like with the white ones as well. I literally love the dark brown. It looks so cute. Now, let me just like sprawl out this blanket, get the vibe going. Wonder how big this is. Oh, wow, this is a nice blanket. So, look, I feel like really good like draped over the couch. I kind of like this moment. Ooh. And then, this one folds it up in the middle. I'm really liking the vibe. I'm going to stand back, see how it looks. I'm not even going to try to put the white pillows cuz I just know they're not going to look good. Like there's already too much going on. I don't want to make the couch too cluttered. So, I feel like this is like the max that I would put on the couch, but I really, really like the dark brown and then like my leopard blanket right here and like this whole color combination going on. I think I'm going to keep this like this. I actually really, really like it. So, this is the new couch. We still need a new rug as you could see. This one doesn't even go to the back of the couch. So, I'm trying to find a cute rug for the space, but in the meantime, honestly, this white one makes do. It's not the biggest deal, but yeah, I really like it. Do you need to like the new Do you like the new cushions? She's like, "Hmm, I need to see for myself." Do you like the new cushions? I really, really love the vibe and it also kind of just like switches things up. So, Diva, I'm obsessed. Okay, so here's how the two stone trays look right below this photo here. We had to kind of put the photo a little bit higher up than we originally wanted to just because there was like some paint, like yellow weird covered up paint stuff behind, so we covered it. But, it honestly, I kind of do like the height. It kind of makes this wall look larger than it is. It kind of accentuates like the ceiling height cuz we have tall ceilings in this place. But, let me know what you guys think if I should decorate it even more, put a little lamp, or what. I'm going to Pinterest some stuff and see if I find any inspo. But, right now it looks really good. I think that the photo colors really match the wood here and also the stone trays that I just put. I think it like complements it so freaking well. So, I love what a good find. This cabinet is from IKEA. It's their EKET cabinet, but love this so much and the color scheme just goes really, really well. And then we can do a little bit of like a his and hers situation for these. So, like I can have one with anything I want to put in it and Joel, obviously, we don't want to put too many things in here to not make it look cluttered, but maybe a lip gloss or something for the entryway to put on my purse or something cuz we also have room here that I need to put bins and stuff. But yeah, looking super good. It is a another day of apartment decorating/organizing. I just got to Home Sense. Today I'm looking for some bins for the closet, the entryway closet. So, I need some bins to organize some stuff up top there. I'm also just looking for kind of miscellaneous stuff. And then I also need organizational bins for my room, for my shelving unit that I have all my PR products on. I really need at least two bins for the top and the bottom to put like miscellaneous stuff. So, I'm going to see what they have. Hopefully they have something. I literally brought a measuring tape with me cuz I fear I'm going to need it. So, I don't have to come back and I can actually get like the right size bins and stuff. So, hopefully they have everything I want. I'm also going to take a peek at their patio furniture cuz we have not even got any patio furniture yet, you guys. I just like have put the house on the back burner for the past few months and I've done literally nothing for it. And I really just want to get it done. Life gets in the way and I put other things on priority and it's just like since it doesn't like need to get done, it's not like the world's going to fall apart if I don't finish organizing and decorating the apartment. That's why I always am putting it on the back burner and I'm a very like type B/C personality where it's like I so like hyper focusing on different things and I can't just like finish one thing. Like that's a personality trait that I have, which I need to get better at. So, anyways, that's why it's been so felt like so long. We moved in like over 6 months ago now, which is crazy and it's like girl, just get the house done. Even though I purged a lot moving into the apartment, I still can get rid of more. Like you can always get rid of more. So, I feel like I want to do a second and then it'll be done. So, anyways, let's go to Home Sense, see what they have. Fingers crossed they have bins cuz I have been wanting these bins for a while. I just haven't been able to find them. So, hopefully they have them. Yeah, I'll keep you guys updated. I don't want to be in there for too long. [music] Okay, let me show you guys what they have for bin options, specifically thinking of my room. So, this is like a cute stripe one. This is would be going on my shelving unit. I still need to measure all these out, but they have this pattern, which is just like a beige and white stripe, which is super cute. And then they also have this one, which is like a floral pattern, which is also super cute. These are not going to be like too too visible. They're just going to be on the shelving, so they're kind of just going to be faced like that where you could just see this. I'm not sure. I still need to like I said measure them and then see if they have like two of a kind, but I feel like these are my best options so far. I need a Yeah, we'll measure them and see. So those are my probably my two top best options right now. And then for the closet, up above the hangers and stuff, I'm still not sure. I really love love the color of these blue bins, but they're too small. Like that's not really going to fit much. So these are no, but I do love the color on these. But yeah, other than that, I'm not sure. So I'm going to have [music] to kind of measure, assess my options. And I'll keep you guys up to Okay, I just compiled these two bins and looks like they're going to fit perfectly on the shelf. So I think I'm going to get these two. They're really really pretty. I'll give you an up close of the pattern there. It's like very florally, very cute. So I think I'm going to get these two. And I can always return them if I don't like them in the [music] room, so we can test them out, I'll keep the receipt and see if I'm going to like them, but I think I am. And then I also have this cheetah blanket in the cart. Okay, in the photo aisle, I'm not finding anything. Like they honestly do have a really good selection, but like nothing that I have been looking for. I love these style prints, like the not the paintings. Actually, this is really pretty. I don't know if you can see this, but this flower one, that's really pretty. I'm looking for something above our bed. I just don't know the vibe. I honestly might just end up ordering something, printing it out myself, but I don't know. There's a lot of good options here. I might take a photo of a few of them so then I can come back. They also have like really really really big ones over here, but nothing that is speaking to me. >> [music] >> Literally, look at this butter salted butter lamp. That is so funny. They have the funniest lamps here. I'm just kind of looking for more mood lighting for our house just because we don't have much right now and I just I'm seeing something right now. This is really nice. This is a really cool lamp. Like, if this was like behind the couch, that's actually so nice. And this is just like very sleek and perfect and I love the silver. Like, if we just plop this right behind the couch and like the corner, that would give such good mood lighting. Or even beside I'm just trying to think even beside like the TV console. This would be so perfect. Honestly, I might get this. This is really cute. I feel like this will be perfect. I was also thinking like maybe a table lamp, but then I'm like, if we want to be clutter-free, it's nice to not have anything on the TV console. Like, I feel like it might be a little bit too cluttered if we did that. So, if this like stands beside, I feel like that would just make things a lot more clutter-free. And if I don't like it, I can always return it, which is nice. But yeah, even thinking of something like this that I saw. I was like, this would be really nice, but also I just feel like it would give too much clutter to the TV console when I just kind of want to keep things off of that. So, I think I'm just going to go with this lamp. I'm going to go check out now. We'll see how it looks. I'm going to take a risk on it. Hopefully, it fits in the car cuz Joel's golf clubs are in there right now, but I should be able to just kind of lay it on top. So, we'll see. I'm going to check out now and then give you guys a whole one in back. Here is the checkout bin here that we're going with. Not too much, but this lamp is going to be a little bit of a pain to get back into the car. Okay, guys. I'm currently on the way to pick up a photo print from Etsy that I bought for the bathroom. It is actually so cute, so I'm so excited to show you guys and I already have the frame for it that I picked up from IKEA. And yeah, it's such a cute bathroom photo. It's just perfect cuz we have the girls litter box in the bathroom. So, you'll see. It's such a cute photo. So, picking that up and then we'll put it in its frame and hang it later. So excited just to get the house done. done. >> [music] [music] >> New bathroom photo alert, guys. How freaking cute is it because we have the litter box in here. So, this is like the half bath, the spare bathroom. So, this just makes so much sense. It's perfect. Okay, guys. So, I have the lamp here. I think it looks really, really, really good actually in this corner next to the TV. But, when I put the light bulb in, we're going to try it in two different places, in the corner there or the corner there and see where it looks best. But, I definitely want it to be on before we try it. So, I have this light bulb from IKEA that I just stole from one of our lamps in the room. So, I just got to buy a light light bulb for it and it's color changing with a remote, which is super, super handy. So, I feel like this will be the perfect light bulb for it. But, I'm just going to screw it in. Okay, light bulb is in. See if that makes a difference. I think it's just not There we go. Ooh. Oh my gosh, you guys. I think it's like also just not dark enough right now to see the full effects, but you can kind of see and then I could switch. Oh, this is tea. This is actually so tea. Oh my gosh, and obviously it's dimmable. These light bulbs from IKEA are actually the best. I'm obsessed. Okay, so this is how it looks in this corner, like right near the couch here. Let me know what you guys think. Obviously, this could be moved. I'm not 100% sure. So, let me know what you guys think of it being next to the TV or in the corner here. Let me just give you an overview of the room. I don't know. It kind of looks good in both. I guess we're we can always change it if we want to, but it really does look good in both though. But, what a find. What a find of a lamp today. I'm not sure if I got the chance to show you guys the dining room table yet, but here it is. And then, I just have a vase in the middle with this new picture. And then, I think we're going to keep the lamp in this corner. So, let me know what you guys think. This is what it looks like during the day when it's not on, and I think it still looks fab. So, let me know your guys' opinion, but I just feel like it brings light into this corner where the TV is already shining this way anyways. So, it brings light to the corner that we don't have any light, which I think is so nice, and it gives such great mood lighting at night. But, yeah. So, this is how the dining and living room are looking. And then, I added our orchid plant here. So, let me know what you guys think because I feel like this entryway needed a little something. And this was actually sitting in Joel's office, and I was like, "Oh my gosh, this would go so good with the color scheme with this photo." And I think it looks really pretty with the flower here. So, let me know if you guys think it matches, but I think it looks really cute, and it's the perfect spot for the plant. It's our only real plant in the house {slash} only plant. And then, we got this brown bench from Ashley Furniture, which is so fab. It also opens up. This is the cheetah blanket that I got from HomeSense. I put it on top of here because the girls have been sleeping on it. Like, I've been sleeping on this bench, and I just wanted to make it comfier for them. So, I think it looks really, really cute in the hallway of our room here, and it kind of gives it just some nice decoration, something for the girls to lay on. And then, I also definitely want to do something with this wall. We need to figure out what we're going to do with that. So, that will be in an upcoming vlog on what's going to go on this huge blank hallway in our bedroom because it it obviously needs something. But, this we're off to a great start with this. It's very functional and a great bed for the girls. And then, I did end up getting this cheetah pillow as well, so I just threw it on the bed and I think it looks really pretty. It's not too many pillows on the bed, but it's kind of like the perfect medium. So, that is what I did with this pillow. These bins that I just got fit literally perfectly, as you can see. So, I have one here and then I have a couple rows of PR products here that I honestly need to organize. I'm going to be doing an I also have one at the top shelf as well. So, as you can see, it takes up most of the space, which is exactly what I wanted and it looks great and cute. So, mission successful with these bins. >> [music] [music]
