Apartment Tour: Sunroom/Office

I know, I know.  This blog post is way over due.  Omar and I moved into our cozy little home over a year ago, but if I'm being honest having an apartment is a lot of work!  Especially if you're a blogger and you want everything to be perfect before sharing it with the world.  However, your home is never perfect.  You are constantly changing and adding things to make it more yours.  That's exactly what happened.  Even though we bought furniture, got a dog, broke some things, hung up some things, and so much more it never really stops becoming a home.  So that's why, after a deep clean of course, I was ready to share my apartment with all of you.


I'm going to be breaking this up into a few differnet posts because the apartment is actually kind of big with a lot of details.  I'm starting with the sunroom (aka the office and Lumpy's room).  In our apartment complex you can choose if you want a balcony or a sunroom and the sunroom adds extra room and storage.  Plus, it's perfect for Lumpy because he loves the sun!

Most of our furniture is from Ikea and I have tried to link everything that I possibly could below.  However, most of this stuff is a collection of things throughout the years so I might not have everything linked!  In the office we have my desk (Ikea) and chair (Ikea) with all of our notebookes, harddrives, and extra wires hidden away.  There is also my Kate Spade book (thanks Gabe!), a Tiffany & Co. bag filled with polaroids, and a super easy shadow box diy!  Next to it is Omar's 3-bin plastic drawer that has all of Omar's paperwork and the last drawer has all of our apartment paperwork.  On top of the bin is two very large Tiffany & Co. boxes that containted the most amazing crystal bowls I got for Christmas from my Aunt Maryland.  They're too pretty to hide in a closet though!  Down by my chair is my camera bag and of course my awesome R2D2 trashcan my mom got me for Christmas.  To the right you will see the bookcase (Ikea) that matches my desk and other pieces of furniture.  Of course I have WAYYY more books than whats pictured, it holds quite a bit.  I have my printer and record player (thanks Ro!) that are easily accessible without being in the way.  On top of my bookcase I have tons of pictures, a mood board, decor, and camera equipment.  I did a blog post earlier on my bookcase that you can view here.  This is also Oliver's favorite spot to hide his ball under.  On the other side of the wall is Lumpy's cage which is perfect for him because the sun hits him even if it's cold outside.  Hedgehogs don't do cold so that's why the sun room is perfect for him!  Above Lumpy's cage are a ton of awards and certificates that Omar and I have recieved.  I also have one from my grandpa in the center and I love it!  Above my desk are pictures that my mom made for me after I got back home from Arizona a couple summers ago.  Lastly, by the bookcase is the hedgehog calendar my dad got me for christmas and the hedgehog picture frame my mom got me.  We also have a couple plants in the window to make sure they get enough sunlight.  There is also a HUGE closet where we keep our summer/winter clothes, Omar's Marine equipment, luggage and boxes.

I love that we got the sunroom instead of the balcony.  It gives us a ton more space and even adds a little bedroom for when guest come over.  Do you like how to set up our sunroom/office?  How did you set up yours? Show me by commenting down below!
