Add a pop of color and elegance to your living or work area!
We purchased this simple and pretty boring ceramic bowl from the after-Valentines Day sale at Target for a few bucks and up styled it with a few easy steps and tools! We had decided upon purchasing it that this would look so great with a succulents in it! The final product is a Jonathan Adler inspired piece! Just see below!
Tools needed:
• Spray paint (gold/silver/whatever you want!)
• Soil
• Succulents
This goes to show that you can purchase anything and make it look expensive! Grab a few ceramic pieces that you think are boring and want to get rid of and give them a facelift! This new piece looked perfect in our new black bookshelf case!
It's 12:40am and I am blogging from our new BED!!! This is so exciting because our apartment is FINALLY coming along as we pictured it. These past few weeks have been crazy, getting everything ready, buying groceries, working hectic schedules and on our free time trying to enjoy our apartment and our time together. Below I will share a few photos from the last few weeks and past few days:
Our first outing together, the day after moving in at a friend's kids Toy Story themed B-day party.
Victor decorated our windows with some 4th of July lights that he purchased a while ago. He's been obsessing over classic American lifestyle so these lights represent him very well and serve as great night lights.
Victor has been cooking a lot and that is yet another thing he is very good at! Since he has been the chef I felt like surprising him one day with a romantic dinner as soon as he got home from work. We didn't have a dining table yet, so I had to work with what we had. He was very impressed with my Monterrey Jack Chicken dinner that I prepared (heck I was even impressed!).
Downtown LA has just opened up a new Target and we decided to check it out this past Friday. We actually spent all day driving through the city and finding hidden gems not too far from our apartment.
Just outside Target on 7th + Figueroa.
That Friday we also took a trip to Highland Park, a city about 15 minutes from Old Town Pasadena with a lot of latin influences. We found the first ever Forever 21 store and even a movie theater that has $3 movies on Tuesdays and Wednesdays! We are planning to go very soon! There were great little shops around, a super cool bar, and BEAUTIFUL homes that I (along with Victor) fell in love with! Like always we had a photo-shoot and I'm sure Victor will soon make a blogpost about it here.
We ended our Friday night by heading to IKEA in Burbank, purchasing a dining room table and stopping for donuts at Krispy Kreme! I can't wait to post photos of our apartment but it isn't quite finished yet, almost!
I leave you all with a song that I currently have replaying in my head:
