Feeling Like Homemaking

In honor of my plan to end up in my first big girl apartment soon, I spent a little time earlier this week perusing home furnishing/decorating sites and attempting to find some of my dream items. Though I do have a few nice items already, from having lived in apartments over the past two years, there are some things that I've just always wanted (and plan to get asap). Check them out below. I hope they inspire you as much as they do me.

1. Dishware
I currently possess some dishware already but I would love to find something a little more funky for entertaining with (and just to amuse myself). That said, I was looking through the Macy's website and came across this Martha Stewart-branded dishware. This woman is seriously the queen of home. You can purchase the items separately — and on sale — through the store's website.

2. A room divider.
This decretive element is my ultimate dream possession. For some reason, I have just always wanted one of these in my "big girl" living room and this one is only $180 at Pier 1 ... Maybe soon I'll turn that dream into reality.


3. A Chaise Lounge
These just scream comfort to me. Though this one is pretty basic (at least compared to some I've seen in stores), it was one of the only ones I could find online. It's available for around $900 from Crate & Barrel.


4. Artwork
Every home needs a dash of art (and mine is going to have a lot of it!); this print is something that I will be buying soon: No matter what. What's even better, it's only about $17 through Etsy.
