A few days ago, I went to have dinner with my mother and her friend, Harriet, who I was meeting for the first time.
When I saw this apartment my jaw dropped. I have literally never seen an apartment that was as cute and homey as this one. From the moment you walk in you see warm colors, pretty flowers and beautiful paintings.
She dried flowers and hung them up in her dining room. Aren't they lovely? She inspired me to try some flowers of my own! They are currently in the process of drying in my room right now. Can't wait to see the finished product!
She told me that something she says all the time is "Sure, why not?" so she had her friend paint this on the wall. It's so cute! I thought it was a really good idea, definitely helped fill her home with personality.
This is a the top of a wall she put into her apartment after she bought it. It's an archway, and the whole wall has the pattern shown above. She put it there ti give more definition to the dining room and living room, which are on either side of this wall. I thought it was a good idea; even though it took up some space, I thought it made the apartment look bigger.
She has a bunch of super cute clocks. This one was probably my favorite. I love the rooster and the coloring of the clock.
This is the hallway to the other room sin the house. On the walls are photos, drawing, paintings and lots of things that her grandchildren's and friends did.
She also has butterflies everywhere. I showed you the butterfly on the wall she put up earlier, and in her living room she has a bunch. I was in awe of this lamp. I've never seen a lamp with a farm house on it like that!
This is her sun room. She has a lot of cute little turtles that she keeps here.
She told me each room was inspired from different places she loved. Her sun room was inspired by a garden and her bedroom looks just like a cabin; I wish I took pictures of it! She hung fake birds on her lamp, it looked like they were flying, like it would be in a garden outside!
Another lovely clock of hers
The other side of the bulletin board says creative :) That's painted in the hallway pictured earlier in the post.
This is another picture from the sunroom, making it seem more like a garden.
And this is where she keeps all the cats. She has a bunch of statues and such of cats, and she put them on this mantle. I absolutely love this mug. Personally, I'd drink my coffee out of that mug, not use it as decoration hehe
I hope you enjoyed this apartment tour! I've never done one like this, but I'm hoping to be able to do more posts like this at some point. It was so much fun going around her home and taking pictures of all the wonderful things her apartment had to offer. I could have stayed there for hours just taking pictures of everything. There is so much more I wish I could have showed you! All though, I would probably have to made it into two posts if I did that. :)
