I'm checking out some decorating blogs online and I'm (a) suddenly overwhelmed with the urge to clean my apartment in a serious way and (b) inspired to try some new decorating ideas.

1. via A Cup Of Jo:



Love the cloud wall...I'd love to do something like that.

2. from Apartment Therapy:



I really like this idea--such a nice alternative to a grocery list stuck to the fridge or a notepad chucked in a drawer.

A perfect bed to curl up in with a book...looks soooo cozy!

4. Apartment Therapy again...



Craft supplies + baskets = I'm all aflutter.

I can't wait until we have our own house to paint and alter and decorate however we please. An apartment is somewhat restrictive; obviously you can't rip off the kitchen cupboard doors or go overboard with paint colours. But I can have a spic and span apartment at least, and give some of these ideas a try. I seriously want to drink a pot of coffee tonight and stay up all night cleaning and organizing.
