Apartment diaries ☆ #1

Hi! This is the first blog post of my apartment diaries! In this one I'll be talking about how I am planning to decorate my bedroom! I am so excited about it and have lots of plans!

The vibes aka Lighting

I really want my bedroom to have a calm, cozy, and cool vibe! To achieve this I think I'll be using lots of warm lighting like a small tiffany lamp and maybe some fairy lights? My parents also gifted me a gorgeous ceiling lamp that will look super pretty in my new bedroom! I also have an Ikea Fado Lamp, but I don't know if it really fits the aesthetic I am going for? And I won't have a nightlamp when I'm home during the weekend or if I have to work (since my work is in my hometown)

I may also add some candles (since that also feels more free when it comes to my electricity bill) and this isn't directly related to light, but I really want to add my lace curtains (that I currently use as wall decorations) in front of my two windows. I'll look so cute and cozy in the evening and the morning and lowkey every moment of the day!!!

The Furniture

Okay so, for furniture I was thinking going full wood! Or at least as much as I can when it comes to the pieces I already have! We recently bought a new closet from marketplace (we still have to pick it up lol) but I am absolutely in Love with it!! I mean look at how gorgeous it is! The rest of the pictures I put here were taken from pinterest but are pretty close to what I already have or what my vision is. For example: I really want pink silk bedsheets or at least some kind of bedsheet that reflects the light a little, so theres a soft shine all over my bedroom, and above my bed I would love to hang a painting, probably made by me. Not like I am some kind of professional painter, but with my budget, I can't really buy a big painting r sumn, so I'll just make it myself! I also got a bedskirt to put over my white Ikea bed frame! So it hides the two mattresses that I'll slide under my bed if my friends or classmates come visit! 

As vanity, I'll be using a vintage radio cabinet that my parents got when they were younger. Right now its standing in the living room, but since the living room is a little packed when it comes to furniture, I am allowed to take this one with me to my new apartment and use it as a vanity! On top of it I will be placing the golden mirror that I inherited from my grandma! I love it so much and it fits so well with the theme I am going for! As beside table Ill probably use a vintage bedlinen trunk that I can also steal away from our living room! Ill probably put my little tifanny lamp on it! That'll be so cozy!  Last but not least I have my desk. Now here is where I am still deciding which one to take with me. I currently can choose from two options. Both wood so thats not a problem, the problem is that the one is more practical, but the other one is super duper gorgeous! Since I am a filmstudent, I use my desk a lot for editing. And I recently inherited a second monitor from my uncle which I can attach to my laptop, so I have two screens to work on! The problem is that that combination does not fit on my small (but gorgeous) desk, while it dus fit on my bigger (but more boring) desk. Or at least I havent tried putting it on the small desk, but my hopes lowkey aren't high that it fits on my small desk.  I do have the space to fit a big desk, its just the question if I want it there or not. So I am still deciding on that! Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments!

Extra's

Ofcourse I also had to add a little "extra's" section! Cause I just wanted to mention some fun things that I'll definitely be taking with me! For example, since I am a film student at the end of the day, I will be taking my dvd collection with me :pp But also my favorite fashion photography magazine called "Mirror Mirror" and ofcourse my Sofia Coppola and Vivienne Westwood books! We have a big book collection downstairs, and I was allowed to select some books to take with me jippie! So now I can also add more art books to my collection! Furthermore I have some literature books that I am also taking to my new apartment! Lots of different books as u can read lol. I also have a Françoise Hardy poster (French singer, check her out if you dont know her!  

And other posters like Amélie Poulain, Audrey Hepburn, Punk images, Art prints. Also my two guitars! (Electric & acoustic) and so much more!!!

Soooo...

These are all the plans I have for now! I'll be updating you guys in a new blogpost if anything gets added or changed!!! You can find these specific blogs if you click on the "Apartment diaries ☆" label down below!! If you have any thoughts or suggestions about the desk situation, or anything else in my bedroom, let me know in the comments!! I'll be packing my stuff the next few days, while I am still recovering from my wisdom teeth removal, so I'll probably be less active than before. But when I am settled in, Ill be updating more!! I am super excited to share this journey with you guys!

Recent journal pages!

One thing that I love to do, and that I have been doing since I was 7, is journaling. Whether its using my journal as a diary or as a planner, as a scrapbook or a notebook, journaling has been by my side for as long as I can remember! Therefore I thought Id start posting some of my fun journal spreads on here! 

About a week ago I made three pages in my journal, writing about how I am moving to a new city, and starting this blog!! I was inspired by a dutch youtuber named "creachick" who had a blog a loonggg time ago! And she shared her pages on her blog! I thought, since she doesn't post blogs anymore, maybe I should! So here I am :pp

Having my wisdom teeth removed made me realize something

Heyyy, today is the third day of me laying in bed with icepacks around my face. Because, as you can read in the title of this blogpost, I got all of my 4 wisdom teeth removed. 

It was the first time ever that I went under anesthesia and let me tell you, it was an interesting experience. The process of going under anesthesia wasn't fun, but when I woke up, it was like my hidden self came into existence. And by that I mean that I was yapping all over the place. Like I did not stop talking to the random nurses that came to help me and move me around the hospital. 

I legit searched "wisdom teeth aesthetic"
on Pinterest to find this picture lol

I have to let you know that I don't drink alcohol, so its unusual for me to not be my sober-self. That is why this was such an eye-opening experience to me! You see, by nature I am a pretty down-to-earth but also sometimes anxious person when it comes to communicating with people I don't know.  So for me to hear myself talking to random people about so many random things, was a really silly experience. 
It mostly let me see that I am capable of holding down a random conversation with someone I don't know. And that is a really nice thing to know about myself. I just have to figure out how to get to that level of comfortability without the use of anesthesia or alcohol lol. But I think I can get there! Being under anesthesia just showed me that that version of me exists, and now I have to try to get that version of myself into permanent reality!
Let me know about you guys' thoughts or experiences with anesthesia! Or if you have any questions about the procedure :pp
