simple ways to decorate | apt 217

by - 11:03 AM

living in an older apartment complex at college, with hideous patterned couches, you have little amount of options to stylize your apartment. here are some little projects and ways that i added some personality to our front room and kitchen!

printed this quote and now its the motto of the apartment. "chin up buttercup. everythings going to be OK." somedays its nice to read that as you walk out the front door. its hanging in a cheap plastic photo frame from target.

i bought some cheap styrofoam boards from walmart and using paint and tape i made the chevron and stripes. the camera photo i printed out and pasted on there then painted a border. i found a couple frames to hang up along with them. the bike photo was printed as well and hung in the same type of frame as the "chin up buttercup" quote. all of these printed photos i found through pinterest.

  3. Look how crafty you are! Thank goodness for Pinterest, right? We move a lot with the Army, so I have to find creative ways to decorate without painting, so stuff like this, is key!
