I just started my senior year at K-State and moved into my first ever apartment and am so excited to share it with you today! This place has been such a homey, happy space for my roommate and I; Caroline and I actually met on a study abroad in January, and have been besties ever since our travels in Europe! Now we have our own very cozy, very pink place to call home, and we've had a blast decorating. Keep scrolling for photos, video tours, and links to shop decor and outfit details!

MY ROOM
Welcome to my white and pink paradise! Funny story - we actually couldn't fit my box spring up the stairs into the apartment, so my bed is much lower to the floor than it was supposed to be. I wanted a clean and bright space with lots of natural light (and fairy lights!) and I'm so so happy with my room! My white comforter set and pink striped sheets are both from Target, and I found my other pillow at Home Goods.
This gold shelf was actually a garage sale find; it was originally black and we spray painted it gold and replaced some of the glass shelves and voila - a beautiful shelf for all my keepsakes! In the video below, you can see you decorated the shelf with some of my favorite pieces, from purses and prints, to flowers and fashion books. I'll link some of the items on my shelf below!
- Mini black croc purse - Showpo
- Pearl purse - Showpo
- Pink shadow box & white picture frame - Hobby Lobby
- "All In Good Taste" - Kate Spade
- "The Fashion Book" - Barnes & Noble
- "The Little Dictionary of Fashion" - Shopbop
- Eternity Rose (lasts a year!) - Venus et Fleur
- Kate Spade mug - Zappos
- Kate Spade gold spotted shadow box & candles - Marshall's
I wanted a statement piece of wall art above my bed, so I painted this canvas with various shades of pinks, golds, nudes, and white, and then used modge podge to add champagne glitter!
This is my desk/vanity corner, almost entirely made up with IKEA products! I already owned the IKEA Alex drawers, so all I had to do was order the tabletop and legs to complete my desk. I also purchased the tabletop mirror from IKEA, which has a drawer attached that's perfect for jewelry or beauty products (see below). I found my desk chair on Amazon, and I'm also linking this pink and white Calvin Klein wastebasket that I picked up at Home Goods, and my pink marble laptop case.
My closet is extremely tiny, so I purchased an IKEA clothing rack to store some of my clothes. I actually love this little corner and like that my favorite clothing pieces are on display - if I can't wear them everyday, at least I get to look at them! My sheepskin rug is from IKEA, my white stool and gold spotted nesting boxes are from Home Goods, and I picked up a plant from Dillon's!
In the photo below (and at the top of this post), you'll see the box of roses with my initial in it - this was a DIY project that I will be creating a post around/selling locally. The design is based off of the extravagant (& expensive!) Venus et Fleur rose boxes that are so popular, and I used three dozen roses, some floral foam, and a Kate Spade nesting box to make my own!
LIVING ROOM
Carol and I adore our living room space! It's very cozy and feminine, and our pink rug was an Amazon find that I will keep forever! I think it's my favorite piece in the entire place - click here to shop! We decorated the room with string lights I picked up in the Walmart garden section, picked up our white TV stand for free from a friend, and I painted some abstract canvasses to tie the room together. You can order these exact canvasses from my personal Etsy account here.
At the moment, we're still on the hunt for another couch/loveseat to complete the room, but we've been happy with our oversized bean bag and tufted loveseat! We're also working on getting some wall art up and adopting even more plants!
