Now that I've finally settled in, I decided it's time to show off the final product!! I still have some frames to hang, but I haven't decided where yet so the walls are a little bare. Other than that, everything is complete!

Right next to my living room, is the kitchen. I'm trying to make myself cook more now that I'm on a really strict budget, so far I usually just go with Costco raviolli, salads, or frozen meats my mom makes for me haha. Luckily, even though I haven't made anything extravagant yet, my kitchen is fully stocked and has plenty of space for when I do. My favorite parts are the rooster (necessary in every kitchen to bring good luck) and the cupcake baking books I picked up in Spain that are next to the canisters. Since I am still in school, I replaced my dining room with an office area to study and added bar stools to create a little breakfast bar.
My desk area is basically the same as it was last year, except now I don't have to keep my makeup on it since I have my own bathroom! That made is so I could put the printer on one side and still have my computer on the other side. I condensed all my supplies into the gray crate and keep any files I need in the folders next to it. I think having a desk area is really important, especially while I"m still in school, to help get work done and minimize distractions. I decorate my bulletin board with lots of pictures of my friends and family and souvenirs from places I've been to help keep me motivated while I'm working on things.
My apartment came with a washer and dryer in the unit, thankfully! It's right off my kitchen in a little room. I wanted to make the most of this space so I keep my hamper in here and decided to hang my hats on the wall to keep them in pristine condition. I just used a Command Hook for each one. I also did a DIY for the sock sign since the one I bought didn't have anywhere to put the missing socks, though they do sell ones with strings already. I hung some twine from two nails and put five clothing pins on it for any solo socks that come along.
I'm so excited to spend the next four years here and so thankful it all came together so quickly!
XOXO, Cierra
Looks really good all done!!
