Today my mom and I went to Ikea. We went to the mall yesterday. We are on a fact finding mission to see what kind of decorating I want to do in the new studio apartment. I am officially approved for a studio in on campus housing. Its little.... less than 400 sq. ft., but I'm excited. I've attached some pics here of what we saw today that may come in handy.
I love Ikea. Although the store in Phoenix doesn't have the model apartments that are really small (in Round Rock, TX, they have these great little apartments (700 and 400 feet square) that help you see how you can live well in that space. We still managed to find some great ideas, and hopefully won't have to spend too much to make it work.
I'm going to get a loft bed, because I can put my desk below it. Its silver, so it goes with my desk. We saw it in person today with a little desktop addition (which looked like my actual desk) and a computer on it, and it looked really good! Yay!
The table below attaches to a wall, and then folds out. I didn't post that pic, but you get the idea - it is a great space saver!
Lastly, for now, I am going to hang a wire and hang a sheer-ish panel from it, on hooks, so that I can have a "bedroom" when I want to, and separate my office and bedroom from the little living space. Its mostly visual, but I am almost more excited about this part than the bed (and I'm really happy about the bed, because I wasn't sure how I was going to use my space effectively. The first picture below is the hardward for the curtain. Then one of the examples of a curtain we liked is below that.
OK, its late. I'm going to bed! Good night!
p.s. I'll post the floor plan of the "example" apartment, soon, too. :)
