Fall Entertaining

October 30, 2014

Fall Entertaining - FSTG | Shen Dove 2
There’s always a reason not to make time to entertain: my space isn’t perfectly decorated, everyone’s too busy, etc…But sometimes you just have to do it despite all of the minor hiccups that life brings. Recently, I had a little happy hour in my tiny apartment and made a first attempt at making champagne sangria with some dear friends (it was good, I’ll make it again!). All you need is conversation, drinks, and snacks to have a fun celebration. I prefer snacks of the chip variety. You probably don’t need the reminder that there are a variety of snack options available these days but I had Food Should Taste Good Chips on hand among others that my friends brought. After a while all of the other excuses that seemed like such a big deal really didn’t seem that major.

I currently live in a rather small studio apartment and thought I’d share a few methods I’ve used to make my own space functional, true to my personal style, and affordable for my small budget. If you don’t have it already, seriously consider getting home insurance. It can save you a ton of money on these stylish upgrades you’ve made to your home if you’re unfortunately robbed or natural disaster strikes. I’ve heard websites like Simply Insurance (this page) can provide some great home and contents insurance that will give you peace of mind. Maybe one of these days, I’ll photograph my space for the blog, but that’s fodder for a separate post….Now on to the tips.

Decor Inspiration: White Kitchens

April 13, 2014

I currently live in a really small apartment (that I like a lot) with a small kitchen. But I still like to look at dream kitchens for my future place. Here are some modern, white kitchens I’m currently loving.
