Apartment (Re)decorating
I’m super excited about this, but it’s probably pretty boring to most of you.
So I finally decided to decorate my apartment, you know, after I’ve lived here for a year-and-a-half and right before I move out in May. I guess better late than never.
I rearranged my bedroom last weekend (finally) at the suggestion of my friend Shelly several months back. I ordered a few cute accessories from UrbanOutfitters. I don’t have any before pictures, but here are some after pictures.
Bedroom — with my Amy Butler sampler quilt courtesy of my friend Adria hanging on the wall and with my new chandelier light hanging above — which, by the way, I totally installed all by myself thanks to the HerTools(tm) set I received for Christmas from my mom *cough cough* I mean, Santa. No mechanical engineering expertise from Mr. Awesome needed. (I feel so empowered! I can use a screwdriver!)

I hung all my scarves and hats up on my shelves with hooks … and I realized that I had a piece from my friend Kim that she’d painted for my friend Flip’s band, The Half Hearts, for their first album After the Flood. I dunno if this goes to Flip or not, but for now, I’m going to keep it since apparently he hasn’t missed it …
And my living room with my daybed and the new tapestry hanging behind it. I’ve had the same daybed since 8th grade along with the ugly floral sham, but it works well with the pieces I’ve made and acquired over the years. The white and purple quilt is from my great grandma, and I love how it matches everything so perfectly. I keep designing around it even though it’s almost completely fallen apart.

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
