On Redecorating, Picking Pretty Things, and Saving That Extra Buck

My lease on my apartment is expiring in a few months, and I'm hell-bent on getting out of my tiny shoebox apartment and into a place with more space.

One of the things I can't wait to have room for is a bigger shoe rack. I tried the Rakku shoe wheel from Ikea last year, but after months of getting my fingers stuck in the grill, I decided to trade it in for a regular plastic shoe rack. Still, my dream rack would be similar to this baby from Home Depot:

Isn't it pretty? It reminds me of the shoe racks kids use at school during play mat times, and god knows I have enough shoes to fill it up. Best of all, there are sites that offer Home Depot coupons that give you a chance to save that extra buck. :D

Also on my dream list are these lovely Bed, Bath & Beyond bed sets:

Such a classy piece... I'm a sucker for this pattern!

And of course pink and lilac sheets with a floral curlicue patterns are my weakness... I've got a ton of similar sheets but I still fall for them every time...

And last but not least is this amazingly detailed bath set, also from BB&B:

I don't think I've ever seen anything so pretty! My current bathroom is a mass of pinks and maroons, and I think that toiletries with lovely white with aqua accents would be a welcome change. With Bed Bath and Beyond coupons being so easily accessible, it's easy to splurge on all my dream decorations.

I know I said this last year as well, but this time I'm trying to stay positive and on track regarding moving out. I chickened out and renewed my lease last year because I didn't want to go through the hassle of moving my phone, disconnecting and reconnecting the internet, etc., but this year I am adamant! I MUST move out simple so I can go through the joys of decorating once more, lol.

Here's hoping that I can find my dream apartment at the right price in a few months! ;)
