Home Projects to Tackle This Winter

I finished my Create Academy course with Rita Konig a few weeks ago and I'm so sad it's over. I'll probably re-watch the class again when I buy a home of my own, but I'm still inspired to make a few changes in my current apartment. Learning the ins and outs of decorating from someone you have admired for awhile is such a treat and very valuable. I knew I had the right course when I realized almost every inspiration picture I have saved is a Rita Konig design. Below is a roundup of things I want to do to upgrade my apartment, inspired by the Create Academy course.

I really want a table skirt to cover up my unsightly wires, cable box, and pajama basket. This is actually something that made it onto my 101 in 1001 list - it just so happens that the Create Academy class motivated me to make the change a priority!

I'm thinking a fabulous Persian rug would be the perfect replacement to my current antelope rug. I still love my antelope rug, but my apartment feels just a tad too neutral. It will take awhile to find one that's perfect but I'm on officially the hunt!

A coffee table is another piece I'm looking for (also made it to my 101 in 1001 list!). I actually know the exact one that I want, but am hesitant to buy it until I purchase a home or apartment. I don't know what size I'll need and would hate to make the big investment and the size not be right in a more permanent home.

Switching out my desk is another major task that needs to happen. I already have the desk at my parent's house but haven't had the time to bring it into the city. It's a favorite Hayloft purchase and for $25 the desk as a total steal. It probably helps that I am one of the few that loves brown furniture and would not even consider paintings it (unless the condition was that bad). 

There are a few small miscellaneous tasks that I need to get done this winter. I've been putting them off, but it's officially time to get the ball rolling and do the little things replace the lightbulb in the bathroom, get the windows professionally cleaned, and reseal the bathtub. This winter is the one I get it all done!

Do you have a lot of projects you want ot get done?
