Rad Crash Pad

We will be sorry to leave our apartment behind, it has been so good to us.  We've had great memories here and it will be hard to say goodbye.  But say goodbye we must, as our new home is calling.

In the meantime, some parting shots of our semi-temporary home in the ATL.

Our teeny, yet functional foyer.  We added the cute little wrought iron coathooks as I'm really bad at hanging up anything.  Got them onsale for $4 a piece at Pier 1 in early November.  (Doesn't look like they are selling them anymore, but these would work just as well.)

I fell in love with the mirror at HomeGoods and had to have.  It's so intricate and makes the small dark space a little brighter.  You could go with this larger Pottery Barn version, or hunt down your own like ours!



Living Room is so aptly named, especially in a quaintly sized crash pad like our own.  We could have painted the walls (the property management company is utterly awesome like that) but we knew it wouldn't be long before we had our mitts on our new home so we nixed the idea.

Sources!  Couch is from Pier One (found here) and officially the second thing we ever bought (while still living 3200 miles apart), bookshelves, curtains and pewter grey armchairs are found at Target (here), Trunk Table found at Crate and Barrel (found here).  That mirrored sidetable is also from Target (I got it for like $30 at the time due to discounting) and Craig is still adamant it is 'growing on him'.

Lamps were on clearance at Bed, Bath and Beyond (no longer sold) and the painting on the back wall is an original la Renee also from HomeGoods.

A quick word on those pewter armchairs.  They are super comfy, in fact I use one as a computer chair and both Craig and I sit for hours working or gaming.  They fluctuate in price, and we've seen them as low as $89 each with free shipping.



From the other side showing our wooded view (something we also fell in love with at our new place).  Art from HomeGoods, accessories from WorldMarket, Micheal's and the trees outside.


And the laundry area peaking through.  Tried to gussy them up as much as possible, not that these handsome guys need it.  (They need names...hmm....Sven and Joprik?)  I've had that fabric forever, it's a damask in dark grey and bright chartreuse coloring, so awesome.  It will certainly have a fabulous home sometime soon.  Oh yeah, and pictures on top of a Laundry Pair?  Not such a good idea.  We broke the glass in both frames.  Forgive the orphan lamp, this was before I obtained my desk.

So that's it for now ladies and gentleman.  Soon you will see these furnishings in a new setting!  Closing today!  Can't wait!  Updates soon.
