AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH, I MOVED INTO MY VERY FIRST APARTMENT. ALTHOUGH IT'S JUST A TINY STUDIO, MY GOAL WAS TO MAKE IT FEEL AS PERSONAL AND HOMEY AS POSSIBLE.
I was beyond excited to start decorating a space that is entirely my own, and during the months leading up to the big move-in day, I was re-pinning apartment inspo like crazy on Pinterest .
I'm in love with warm wood tones and rattan decor, which will definitely be obvious throughout the following photos. It was important for me to create an interior that didn't feel too cluttered or busy, considering I didn't have much space to work with. I'm so happy with the final result and am so satisfied with how it all turned out (don't think I'll stop re-arranging and adding decor, though).
Mirror : Round Rope Wall Mirror from Canadian Tire
Cabinet : BRIMNES Cabinet from Ikea
Rattan Storage Bin : Homesense
Candle : Marin Candle by Jade And Juniper
Rattan plate : Round Hand Woven Rattan Plate by Olive & Iris
Wall hook : Estique Key Hook & Organizer by Umbra
I made these paintings myself, I went for something abstract and simple, partly because that fits with the style of my place, but mostly because anything abstract is the most I can do with my painting abilities.
Couch : FRIHETEN Corner sofa-bed with storage from Ikea
Coffee table : KVISTBRO Storage Table from Ikea
Rattan Coasters : Ivy Rattan Woven Coaster by Olive & Iris
Magazine : Roundtable Journal Issue 02
I'm so in love with this mirror, it's super easy to adjust because of the black rubber outlining the mirror, so I never have to worry about it slipping ! I like to lay out whatever outfit I am wearing the next day on the easel in the back (I mean sometimes... I still spend too many mornings figuring out what to wear)
Floor Mirror : Hub Floor Mirror by Umbra
Plant Stand : SATSUMAS Plant stand from Ikea
Table lamp : BÖJA Table lamp from Ikea (I believe they aren't selling it in Canada anymore, I could only find it on the U.S site!)
Side table : GLADOM Tray Table from Ikea
Throw blanket : Large Marble Hand Woven Throw by Olive & Iris (I love it against my couch, it's handmade from sustainable materials - like everything else on Olive & Iris' site)
Diffuser : Stone Diffuser by Vitruvi
Essential oils : Vitruvi
Gold wire basket : Winners
Wine rack : Pulse Wine Rack Nickel by Umbra
This wine rack is probably my favourite part about my kitchen (besides the wine itself).

Kitchen Island : For Living Kitchen Island from Canadian Tire
I love this piece, I think it's so perfect to hold my straws and works well with my super small counter space.
