My bathroom remodel. I’m so proud!

My Cottage Witch Powder Room!

First two pics are the before. I wanted to keep a botanical theme and designed around the dried flowers. This wallpaper sent me the rest of the way into whimsy territory and I love the moths and stags printed on it.

I did the entire thing myself except for painting the ceiling (I wasn’t physically able) and replacing the toilet (had a professional do that). I’m disabled so it took longer than it probably should have but I’m so incredibly proud and I love it SO much!

things are coming together - (and rug advice?)

I’ve slowly (and semi-patiently) been redecorating my apartment one piece at a time with finds from FB, thrift shops, and antique stores and this month was incredible! I found my lotus lamp for $125, my new antique couch for $500, and my dream shell pillows for $20.

The other side of the room holds my TV & dollhouse collection (all being “renovated”) on some hacked IKEA shelving, which is more ‘industrial’ but really functional. And next to the green chair is an XL floor mirror (6x5’).

So now I need to find a rug that fits the vibe and helps bring everything together. Size-wise, I could do a 5x7’ rectangle or oval, a 7’ circle, or a 6’ circle layered with something else. If you were me, what would you do?

first time living alone

i'm (26f) thinking of finally moving into my own place after living at home / parents / roommates all my life. this sub has really inspired me and encouraged me to try it at least once in my life (it's now a bucket list goal of mine!!)

however, i'm so worried about living by my safe purely for safety reasons. i don't live in the US so obviously they're no option to own a gun. i've always wanted to live in a home vs apartment even though i know an apartment on a higher floor may be more of a safe option (the noise of neighbours is what throws me off since i'm a very light sleeper).

i've been reading a lot on this sub and i know there's always a few basic things like get to know your neighbours, cameras, locks, bats by the door, pets etc. to stay safe but

my question is: what is something you do to feel more safe in your home apart from the more obvious things?

even if i did all the above i feel like it would still cause me such anxiety! this is one of the reasons im so hesitant to move out... im a small woman and i dont work out so self defence is not the best. so even with the above in place im wrecked with nerves thinking about sleeping alone in the house!

any advice or suggestions would be so great as im so determined to try living alone! thank you all x

Just moved in

New apartment !! I just moved on & I don’t know what to do with this space :( . There’s a balcony behind the sliding glass door and a bathroom on the right. Any help is appreciated 💗. Functionality wise : I’ll be working from home so a desk is important ( I just don’t know where it could go)

Further info : it’s a 2 bed 2 bath apartment. The picture above is of my bedroom and shows all of it. The rest of the apartment is shared so this space is uniquely mine !

MHow would you decorate above the console?

I think there is enough going on with things on and in the shelf, so have no idea how to decorate the space above console. I wanna catch the harmony without making eye tired. Please help me with ideas

Maybe mirror in the center? And arts around? What color of arts? I am so indecisive:/

Headboard/bedroom advice

I want to redo my bedroom. Rn it’s quite literally a black metal bed frame, white sheets, and a white striped quilt. My favorite colors are light teal blue, dark purple, mint green, emerald green, and baby pink. Apartment and townhome living until I decide to buy makes me avoid biting the bullet with a headboard. On the one hand, I like canopy bed but have heard that you randomly hit your hand on the wood in the middle of the night. So my other favorite option is a tall 50+ inch upholstered but not tufted headboard. The walls in apartments and townhome rentals are almost always grey, white and or tan. My style is super girly but not like bows! What color should I do? I dont like tan headboards, grey feels too boyish to me…. I debate between a emerald green, white, or teal/pink ( my moms favorite color is pink so idk if I love that ) with all of this said…. Its my dream to one day have a dark purple bedroom ( the walls ) if I ever buy. Hopefully you ladies can help 🩷
Also feel free to give any bedroom advice. Ive never had like a fully furnished,perfectly beautiful space so this is all very new to me!

Depressed abuse survivor. First time living alone.

Looking for any advice on how to utilize this space. I'm a 22 y/o alternative lesbian woman who just escaped a domestic violence situation. I'm extremely depressed and I know my space is messy. Once I clean I just have no idea where to start with how small of an apartment this is. Any help or advice is appreciated.

At least I have a job and I'm going back to school I guess.

My aunts “she shed”

I was thinking this might be good to share here. My aunt turned an old shed into this amazing space. She fails to see how impressive this is. She says she just “threw it together” with things she had around the house. The cohesion, the attention to detail, the creativity…it’s immaculate. We have different styles, but I think anyone can walk in here and appreciate how incredible it is.

Yes, I know "it's only August", but I don't care. My heart is ready for fall.

A little transformation for our living room set up

We recently moved and this is our set up so far. This wall use to have a very sad geometric design. Swipe to see what it looked like before. What would you call my style I’m curious!

Edit 1:
Oh wow! Thank you all so much for the love on the space, my cat, and the decor! You guys are amazing and all your comments really made my day! Thank you 😊

Need Opinions- how to design these areas

This is my living room. I dont know how to make these areas look not too colorful but very cozy and welcoming. For reference, I cant put TV stand in the middle because I have sofa right in front of it, and if I push it more to the middle, it will be uncomfortable to watch tv while lying on the couch. And the second part is wall above the sofa. I dont wanna add bunch of colors, but more so harmonious look. Help me please

my office/sunroom!

the original floor plan lists it as the ~solarium~, which is what i usually call it (for the drama of it all) 😭. i've struggled with how cluttered my desk feels and the fact i forever throw books on the floor but it's my favorite room in the house and thought i'd share :^).

a lifetime of collecting while being weird

my therapist recently told me i should document my apartment. it's maximalism in a minimal space, especially because i run my online vintage business out of here.
