    The kitchen cabinets and the color very very sleek looking, especially with this stain steal appliances. I think once you get the rest of your countertop things and start adding color to your room it’s going to look very designer. Nice work on getting the apartment. I hope you be very happy there. I can’t wait to see how your decorated. Have an amazing weekend.

    I have the same colour kitchen cupboards and fittings. Decorate the kitchen wit whites and for the shelves some books for styling. The kitchen will look tacky with contact paper. You can also use glass candy holders or bring in any wood tones that you use somewhere in lounge. Grey is a colour that goes with many different styles of decorating. Your sheer curtains will be right by your kitchen and will add light to the kitchen. Think of the colour of your electric kettle and coffee maker to add colour. Your lounge area will also break the grey if you have different colour in that area. I would not buy all the accents furniture pieces in white as it could look monotone . Good luck

    The small cabinet on the island could possibly contain your laundry soaps.
    I like the grey color of the cabinets. Live with them for a while before trying to change them. Use white appliances to keep the kitchen light. Same for your living room.

    I would try the L- shaped couch on the other wall.
    Tuck the kitchen island in closer to the sink/counter. Put appliances, bulky items in the island cupboards.
    I like your idea for the bathroom. That towel bar looks senseless there.

    @ninok606 Месяц назад +1

    So excited for you! Congratulations!!
    Honestly, if I were you I would move in first, unpack everything, and live like that for a week. When you live there you will see what makes sense in regards storage, and keeping what where. Then buy furniture according to your needs. I won't keep laundry detergent in the bathroom, for example. To far to bring back and forth... I think that entry way closet can fit snowboard and some storage organizer on one side, like vacuum etc. And maybe bamboo tiny clothes rack on the other side, for some coats and boots, beach purse etc.
    Also, local ikea might have lots of storage items and decor etc. I love going there before shopping on Amazon.
    Kitchen is great. Maybe swap the hardware? Just a thought.
    Whatever you decide to do we are excited to see! Thank you for bringing us on your adventure.
    Best wishes from Michigan ❤

    Love the apartment, congrats! If I may make a suggestion: Instead of a hamper, why not simply place the dirty clothes inside the washer, and remove/sort them on laundry day? This way, your bathroom will have less clutter. I'm so happy for you that you now have a place to call home!

    • @lizclark9351
      @lizclark9351 Месяц назад +4

      Or maybe store the hamper in the dressing? Since it’s where she will most likely take off the clothes 🤔 (I did this in my apartment because I didn’t have any space next to the washing machine)

    This apartment is lovely! So happy you got approved! I’d definitely hacked the kitchen cupboards too. Light furniture is easier to decorate and you can change them according to seasons and trends and moods with different bits and pieces. I think this kind of cupboard will only limit your possibilities. So in my opinion, and if you end up changing it, do that first, before you start decorate the kitchen, so you can have a clear view of what you’ll need.
    P.S. you’re glowing and I’m honestly so happy to see you this way!

    Wow what a comfy appartment! I get you don't like the color of the kitchen, it is too dark. I think some renter friendly contactpaper would be a nice option! You could match the shelves in a woodtone, but you could also look for a nice soft pastelly color, like a soft green, soft pink, blue or even yellow. Depending on what accent color you want in your home. Good luck!
