lately loving- apartment inspirations

If you know me, I'm a sucker for natural lighting & neutral colors. I wanted to implement a simple & modern look for the new place & one of the hardest things that I've faced during this process was not go overboard with a budget on hand and being content. Our apartment is still in progress so once it's finished I will update you guys on how we ended up decorating our home but for now enjoy a few of my favorite pins!

diy worktable

For the past couple of weeks, I have been on the hunt for the perfect worktable. I really wanted a simple desk where I could do my schoolwork and make jewelry. From pinning endless amount of pins, I finally found the perfect combination and loved the way my desk turned out! Here's a picture of the final product, what do you guys think? 

Here’s more information on the supplies I used and what I did.

I bought the table legs from Ikea and plywood from Lowes. I spray painted two coats of Copper Krylon on the table legs and painted two coats of Valspar White on the plywood (make sure you reapply second coat after it’s completely dry). After letting it sit for an hour, I sprayed 2 coats of Krylon Matte Finish to give it a matte look. If you have any questions, feel free to comment below! Happy Wednesday!

Mini-moon to Ace Hotel

Hi friends! It's been a while since I've updated this blog -- so sorry! These past couple of months have been super crazy but exciting at the same time. I'm finally married & had the most amazing wedding in the world -- can't wait to share all the details with you guys in the next couple of posts! With the wedding craziness, David and I had no time to plan our minimoon so his amazing cousins blessed us with a trip to Ace Hotel! Everything about this place was absolutely perfect -- each detail was thoughtfully placed (you'll see in the pictures). Here's some pictures from our trip, hope you guys enjoy!
