Instagram Inspiration vs. Results

July 16, 2024

I love seeing other creator's ideas online for their homes! These are some posts by some of my favorite accounts that I've used as inspiration for my own apartment. 

First is the idea for renter friendly exposed shelves! Couldn't get this idea out of my head from the moment I saw it.

Next is putting a candle on a stovetop. So simple and yet genius! Had never even considered doing this before but I will now always keep a candle here. 

When I moved ito my current apartment, I knew I wanted a new table and chairs. Ever since I saw this combo I knew I wanted a wood tone with black chairs. I wasn't able to find a table in the exact finish as the inspiration, but I still think it turned out great. Maybe one day I'll strip the finish and whitewash the wood!

The idea of hanging stems from cabinets is so smart! I had faux flowers that were unused anyways, so not only did this project not cost me anything, but it added a perfect touch to my kitchen. 

Last but most definitely not least, is the inspiration for my transom window! This might be my favorite piece in my entire apartment.
