I realize I haven't updated in a little while. Everything with the move has been so crazy and I don't even have internet at my house yet. I thought I would share the progress on my home decor though. It's still not done yet ... but it's looking a little more homey thanks to my amazing family!
Bedside table: obviously I still need to print photos .. but how cute are these frames? I think I'll put a cute quote in one of them
This is my little office space! I actually really love it. My friend Natasha pretty much built this entire Ikea desk for me. Thank God for her. Oh .. and those are only some of the books for TWO classes .. I still have several more to buy .. lucky me!
My family also gave me this notebook with messages from them as long as this beautiful gold elephant necklace. It's called the "good luck elephant" and I will include the message below that comes with the necklace. It's so sweet.
The owl on my desk also doubles as my jewelry box. It's just a convenient way of having all my necklaces and bracelets right there when I need them.
Then I have my little perfume corner with my four favorite that I brought to California with me. I'm thinking of getting a decorative plate to have them on soon.
The view from my balcony is also pretty amazing as well. It was a slightly foggy day, so it's hard to make out the difference between sky and ocean ... but on sunny days it's incredible, i swear.
And then this is just the strainer that I found at Ikea and fell in love with so I had to have it !

This is the gist of my studio apt so far. I obviously have a little more to do ... but I'm happy with it. As far as updates on life, I finished two days of law school orientation. They were long and there was so much information to process, but it's finally over with. Classes start Monday and it's a little bit nerve wracking to say the least. I do plan on starting my readings tomorrow. Let's just say that orientation did an amazing job of scaring the life out of me. I'm determined though and ready as I'll ever be (or ready as one can be without having all books purchased). Law school, here I come.
The Good Luck Elephant
"Good luck, make a wish and put on your necklace. Elephants are one of the oldest symbols of good luck. Wear your necklace as a reminder that whenever you need a little extra luck, just point your trunk up towards the sky and believe!"
that view is to freaking die for! and i love those flowers! i think i had the same ones in white and green a few weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteit really is amazing !! and here's a little secret, those are fake flowers from Ikea .. but I love them !! thanks for the comment :)
DeleteYour space looks so comforting. Gray color schemes are simply the best. (Gray is my favorite color.) And that view! I would imagine that a view like that may be just what you need after your classes.
ReplyDeleteGood luck 1L!
thanks so much for the kind words ... and i totally agree. I love Grey .. everything I picked up for the room absolutely had to be grey or go with grey!
