apartment cure- new things

somehow the apartment cure on apartment therapy convinced me that i can indulge in little things to make my apartment happier.  this is not exactly in our budget, but if therapy tells me i need to... then i need to, right?

here are the new things that i bought this weekend that will make our apartment happier:

from anthropologie

kuhn aqua paring knife

polish immigrant portrait from etsy (it was so cheap!)

there is still a long list of things to do which is overwhelming :-(.   i better get started!

BATHROOM:

1.  Replace towels 

HALLWAY:

1. Fix ribbon on lampshades

2. Print and frame NY library navy flower print 

3. Buy hamper

KITCHEN:

1. Edit mugs

2. Find an organizer for plates

3. Edit magazines on refrigerator

BEDROOM:

1. Get custom headboard made

i also rearranged all the furniture this weekend, and edited the bookcase.  now, all the books are either cream, sea glass green or aqua.  it's hot.  i temporarily lost my camera battery so i can't take photos which is a bummer.  remember before how it looked wrong?

now it looks right!

diy magnetic knife rack

i like diy projects that i can do, and do well.  it drives me nutty when i try something diy and then it looks, diy.

i think i can pull this off via the farm chicks.  we have precious space in the kitchen, and this will definitely free it up.  our knives aren't super cute likes these, though.  wow!  these paring knives are available at amazon for $10 each (my favorite is periwinkle).
