moving day!

I moved into my new apartment today!!! I'm so excited. I'm not done unpacking yet but I wanted to share what I have done so far! I'm so excited to decorate and have my own space finally. I'm living with three other awesome girls, and I just know this year's going to be a blast!!!
It was a long drive through the desert to Tucson (it would've been nice if it was a little more scenic), but I had Luke Bryan's new CD to help me get through it! 

The first thing I put up in my new room was this bookshelf. I'm really excited about it. Of course I have a picture of my handsome man, and I also filled it with souvenirs from my my trip to Germany! I have a little replica of Neuschwanstein, a Heineken bottle with my name on it, a mug from Amsterdam, and a teddy bear from Heidelberg! I also have this DIY countdown. 

I just used plain wooden blocks from Michaels and painted them. The bottom block is longer and painted with chalkboard paint, so I can change the countdown whenever I want!
 It literally took me four hours to unpack half of my stuff! Crazy!

This is my favorite part of my new place- my bathroom! I made this distressed crate for my toilet paper- cute right?! And I also made two mini DIY chalkboards for above the toilet. I used a paint pen for these because I'm not going to change the saying. One says "get" and the other says "naked." :)  


Excuse the wrinkles, but I'm a little obsessed with my shower curtain. I tried so hard to find a coral one to match my theme, and when I finally did it was absolutely perfect!

I got samples of paint- each color from a coral palette- and made an ombre dresser! I love it.

I have a long ways to go but I'm loving the new place!
