I got this print while I was in Puerto Vallarta. The artist painted it with coffee beans and watercolor.

My room is finally done and I'm so excited to share it with you. I would have to say that my favorite space in my room is my desk corner. I study a lot so I knew that I wanted to get a quality desk with drawers and surround it with inspiring decor. I love all of my prints that I have surrounding my desk. I chose to get Evelyn Henson prints because I've been eyeing them for awhile, but I knew that it wasn't a good idea to get them for my room at the sorority house. So, when it came to ordering wall decor for my apartment, these prints were my first choice. I am obsessed with this letter board. I think I may put a new quote up on there every two weeks or somewhere around that timeline. If you have any quote ideas, comment below.
All of my bedroom furniture (mattress, mattress frame, headboard, nightstand, and desk) were purchased at a local discount furniture store in my hometown while I had to purchase a small, moveable set of drawers from Bed, Bath, and Beyond for my TV and my t-shirts. The pieces I purchased from the discount store are all very sturdy and are sure to last a few more years. I also got my bar stools for the kitchen nook and my living room chairs from the same place.
When furnishing your college apartment, think about getting pieces that can make it through the year or however long you're going to stay there. Since I'll only be living here a year, I wanted to get pieces that could easily carry on into my post-grad apartment next year. I can already picture my desk in a cute little nook in my next apartment.
For finding decor for your apartment, I recommend looking at Target and T.J.Maxx as well as looking on Amazon for some cute, affordable finds. I personalized my decor by painting some coasters at my local paint your own pottery place to put on my desk and my night stand. Another inexpensive solution to personalizing your decor is to by some canvases from your local craft store and paint some quotes or designs on there. I have to canvases up in my room (not shown above) on the wall across from my closet. Having a little color in an otherwise gloomy area (due to horrible lighting), makes the area more enjoyable.
