Domestic Thursdays

So I decided that Thursdays will be all about things dealing with my home. Whether it's decorating, cleaning, cooking, or organizing. Right now we are living in a 2 bedroom apartment that we moved in a few months ago. I'm used to more storage space, so I'm trying to find a place to store everything, and have everything look pretty at the same time. My focus right now is on the living room, and dining area. Next will be the kitchen, but there is not much to be done there, and then our bedroom and the spare room and bathrooms. I love my apartment, I love the crown molding, I love that it is more of a townhouse style so it doesn't feel like an apartment.

Here is some of my living room:

  It looks exactly like that right now, except the boxes have been unpacked. I have pictures of the other half of the living room, but I can't find them right now. anyway the walls are this dark grey color that we painted when we moved in, the throw pillows are shades of brown and grey, and the coach is off white. We definitely need table lamps and I want to hang artwork. I ordered this 16 x 20 canvas picture of us that should be arriving soon, I want to hang it on the wall in the first picture. I also want to get more framed pictures to hang on that wall. I'm trying to think of an accent color for that room to give it a punch of color. Do you have any color ideas? Oh there is a huge picture window on the other side of the room, I want to hang airy floor length white curtains on that window, and have them doing sort of a dramatic swoop on either side.

Here is my Dining Area:

The fake apples in the bowl are green, and the plates on the table are green and white. I know I want curtains on those windows, but I don't know if I should do white, or try to match the green of the apples, or a combination of both? and they have to be floor length, I adore floor length curtains. other than that, this area is pretty much done.

Once I complete these two areas then I will focus on the rest of the house.
