#TotalSocial: Firsts

I know, I know: I've been absent a lot lately. Life has been happening. But two of my favorite bloggers starting a monthly link-up? Well, of course I'm going to participate. This month, the prompt is all about firsts. I decided that, since I still need to update you all on how my apartment is turning out, I would link-up with everything about my FIRST APARTMENT.

I'm still in the process of adding some decorating pieces, so some walls are still kind of bare. But it's getting there!

My makeshift dining room table. Basically a place to throw all my mail and work stuff

My coffee nook is getting out of control

Please pretend my bed is actually neat. Also, if anyone finds a twin size comforter that will match those white and red flower curtains in the above picture, let me know. I've been religiously hunting at Target and haven't been able to find anything I like yet.

 My closet needs major organizing. I have a shoe, clothes, and jewelery problem.

The view from my balcony: Lake Winona and Sugarloaf

I bought an actual plant on Saturday!

That's it! As you can see, I don't spend much time in my bedroom (other than when I'm sleeping), so it's kind of neglected right now.

Also, you may see two empty wine bottles in my kitchen. Totally saving those to glitterize using the DIY from Whitney's blog.
