I am a huge rose gold buff, so that was the inspiration behind this set for an office decor post. Neutral colors, such as whites and cremes, with pops of pink, rose gold, even green and a light blue, is a great color scheme for an office space. 

I was up at my apartment for the weekend, it is 2 hours away from my parent's home, and we did a decent amount of cleaning up and un-packing a few boxes. We are getting some of our furniture on Tuesday, which I will be working, but I am super excited to have some of it there when I am up again in a couple of weeks. 

Sorry for the lack of posts since I got home from Ireland. I've been working overtime the past week, and will be continuing that for the next three weeks. 

Hope you have a great week!!

As I announced earlier this week, I am starting a 'Home Inspiration' series, in preparation for decorating my apartment that I will be moving into this summer.  I am very excited. Today's inspirational post, is for my office/closet space. I already know that I will be painting the furniture that I have white (bookcase, dresser), as well as the desk that my parents might give me I will be painting white as well. I have a lavender rug that I will have on the floor (although that Poppy one above is gorgeous), and I have one of the 6 cube storage units from Target that I will definitely be getting a second one of for both sides of my desk, for my planner supplies, art supplies, jewelry, shoes, all that good stuff. I have a couple of gorgeous prints and canvases I got for my birthday last year and Christmas that I will be putting in there as well, probably setting them on top of the Target shelves. And of course, my desk wouldn't be complete without super cute office supplies. Once it is set up, I will be sure to give a tour. I want to be able to film planner videos in a couple months once I get my DSLR camera and a tripod. So keep an eye out for that coming by the end of summer.

I'm so excited to announce that I am going to be starting a "Home" series of inspirational posts from Polyvore. My boyfriend and I are moving in together starting in May (right when I get back from Ireland we will have the apartment -eeeep!!) and I am super excited to be able to get creative in our space. I'll still be living at home for this summer, due to working full time near my hometown, but I will cleaning out my room and gradually taking things to our apartment. It is exciting and scary to be moving out from my childhood home, but I am looking forward to it! This will be the source of lots of DIY's this summer, budgeting/finance posts, "home" inspiration and vision boards, and I am really excited. 

My boyfriend has given me permission to decorate how I like, and I can't wait. We will have two bedrooms, and we have agreed that I can have the second smaller one as an office space/closet (YES!).  Then the typical living room, dining area, kitchen and bathroom, pretty standard. 

We will be doing LOTS of DIY-ing, his sister is giving us a dining room table that I am going to be painting and also tons of kitchen supplies, his dad is giving us the leather couch that was in his old apartment, my parents might be giving me the desk from in the dining room. So I have a general idea of what I want the space to look like. Outside of my office area, the whole apartment will be fairly neutral in colors and style. I am going to enjoy being able to decorate but I also don't want it to be "too girly" for him. My office on the other hand ;) will be pinks and golds and light colors. 

So, we will be getting (& he agreed to) a white comforter on our bed. And I'll be buying, or making, some bright pillows to put on it. I have a lavender rug that I will be putting in my office, but I'm thinking a more neutral one with a pattern, like the grey one above for in the living room. 

I'm super excited for this series and I hope you are too! 

XOXO,
