Apartment Inspiration

When I first moved into my apartment with Kevin, I put some real effort into making it feel like a home, and then life got crazy. For a while I couldn't tell what it was that didn't feel homey about the place, until it hit me in one giant, frustrating, and overwhelming epiphany- everything in the apartment was his or mine. Nothing was really ours. So, I am now on an unstoppable push to not only turn this apartment into our apartment, but I am on the track to really design it.

So first thing's first- the living room. It's the biggest room in the apartment, the most likely space for a group of friends to gather, and, personally, the heart of the home. Growing up, it was where my family truly bonded, and I think that will be true for Kevin and I, too.

So, I dove head-first into an idea and I'm sticking to it!

Inspiration: Orange and Teal

I was originally inspired by the winebar near by apartment

And now I see this is the color scheme of the wedding season!

And InspireInspire posted a few years back about this color scheme in the home (so I'm bringing it back!)

And you may remember I like to create my own art for my apartments (DIY post here) and I have found another AMAZING art project which I plan to start soon, using colors inspired above:

Thanks, Apartment Therapy.

Any color schemes you're inspired by, lately?

Love, MegPie

Yeah, I LOVE me some orange and aqua. It's such a happy pairing. I'm looking for a slipcover for my sofa so that I can use these exact colors in my home without clashing with my sofa. Have fun!

Whether it’s editing facts for companies among sites, such as Fandango and IMDb or researching just what people are saying about upcoming films or television episodes, my engagement within the online community puts me face to face with consumers. As face to face as you can get through the internet, anyway.
