I wanted to do one more home decor post now that I am settled in to my new apartment, and the obvious choice was to show you guys my walk-in closet! A walk-in closet has always been one of my "apartment dreams" and so when I bought this apartment and saw the "flex space" room, I knew exactly what I needed to do with it. Check out the photos below to see how I designed my closet! I've also linked the different products I used to build my closet (where possible) as well as many of the shoes etc. you see pictured in the photos (just in case you like them too!)

Book - The Gospel According to Coco Chanel

Print - Evelyn Henson

Victoria's Secret Undies (limited edition, purchased in Amsterdam) similar: here

I do have to keep a filing cabinet inside my walk-in closet (it's the only place I have to keep it) so I decided that if I had to keep it in there, I might as well as make it look pretty by displaying some fun items on it! I love the Evelyn Henson Print & the Coco Chanel Book, and then I decided to display this adorable pair of undies I got while travelling through Amsterdam a few years ago.

As this was simply an empty space and not a preexisting walk in closet, I had to create the closet part myself. I went with the ClosetMaid system (available in store at Home Depot) but there are lots of great build your own sets out there. I also really like this system. This is also really cool if you are looking for something more temporary/adjustable.

My favourite part of my closet is this over the door mirror / jewelry storage unit. In small spaces (like my apartment) multi tasking is key - and being able to hide away all my jewelry while getting a full length mirror is PERFECT. I think every girl should have this is their closet/bedroom!

I hope you all enjoyed this peak inside my closet! For your convenience i have included links to all the products mentioned (as well as others I think would be perfect for a bedroom/closet) in the widget below!

As I think I've mentioned in earlier posts, I am in the process of looking for a new apartment so; I am in TOTAL home decor mode lately! I love, love, love looking at home decorating ideas on Pinterest and day dreaming about how I am going to decorate my new condo. For today's post, I thought I would show you guys the decor elements of my apartment that I absolutely love (and will be keeping for the new apartment) as well as my favourite home decor ideas. Follow me on Pinterest to see all my home decor ideas under my "Style for the Home" board. Enjoy!

My favourite part of my current apartment is my gallery wall in my bedroom. I definitely have a thing for gallery walls! My gallery wall consists of:

A gold letter "L" from Chapters/Indigo (similar available: here)

A sketch I did - "I solemnly swear that I am up to Do Good!" - a nod to my love for Harry Potter and my sorority, delta gamma

4 amazing Evelyn Henson prints. I am so in love with Evelyn's artwork!! If you haven't heard of her before, you definitely need to check out her prints. Her "city" series is definitely my favourite, and I was SO happy when she caved to my *cough* subtle *cough* suggestions to add Vancouver, Canada to her series. I love what she came up with to represent Van City.

My kitchen is the other aspect of my home decor that I love because of:

These ridiculously awesome gold glitter placements
My Flamingo Pink KitchenAid stand mixer and electric hand beater. (Available here and here)
This hand carved wooden wine holder which I got in Greece this past summer.
