Updating My Basic Apartment Kitchen Decor Into My Pinterest Dream Board

Relocating from Tallahassee to Atlanta was a whirlwind experience. While everyone warns you about the costs of moving, you only grasp the full extent once you're in the midst of it! As I settled into my new 750 sq foot apartment, I streamlined my belongings from my previous home, focusing on essentials and diving straight into work without the distraction of decorating.

By the end of last year, I was eager for a change from my familiar surroundings. I began thoughtfully acquiring items that matched my mood board, starting with the simplest area: my kitchen decor.

The initial step was naturally to head over to Pinterest to explore my aesthetic preferences. As I've matured, I've come to appreciate browns, neutrals, and creating a moody, sexy atmosphere.

In 2026, I'm committed to making deliberate choices with my purchases. While adhering to a budget, I've uncovered remarkable finds from small boutiques and home stores. I'm thrilled with the transformation of my space! It feels incredibly rewarding to return to a home that genuinely reflects my personality and style.
