Anouk's Dorm in the Netherlands | Small Space Tour


Way back in March, the lovely Anouk sent me photos of her bright, pretty dorm in the Netherlands. Shame on me that I'm just now getting around to posting it! So without further ado, let's take a small space tour of Anouk's dorm...



It's amazing what a difference a BIG window can make in a small dorm room. Also, those wood floors put all the tiled floors of my dorm's past to shame. The walls are white, but Anouk worked this to her advantage with crisp white furniture -- a mix of sleek, modern styles (nightstand, cubby holding the tv) and girlier, curvier pieces (the iron bed, bookcase with those lovely drawer pulls).


I spy a Wicked poster! My favorite musical, btw. :)


The wall that Anouk's desk sits on is a nice pop of sky blue against which the white desk, floating shelf, and chair look crisp and cool.


What dorm (in the U.S. or abroad) is complete without the ambiance of string lights? I also love the little square floating shelves hung on the wall.


A scarf/belt hanger keeps Anouk's favorite necklaces and sunnies within easy reach.



 Like myself, Anouk cannot live without her Rimmel Match Perfection foundation (it smells so good!) and Burberry perfume (also smells so good). 


I have to say that Anouk's Netherlands dorm is nicer than any dorm room I've called home here in the states. What's your favorite part of her bright, lovely space?

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

Blair's Room | Gossip Girl Decor

Manhattan's debutante Blair Waldorf happens to be my favorite Gossip Girl character.  Her behavior and feelings vary from snobbish to sensitive, but she always (except for a few rare occasions) looks and acts totally pulled together.  Her luxurious bedroom is fit for a queen---and is as pulled together as her preppy fashion ensembles.
