Decorating?

It's been so long since I've had time to blog that, guess what? I'm moving again! It'll be nice to start the summer off my shopping for furniture and getting settled in my new apartment. This will be the first time I get to live by myself. Before I use to be wary of living by myself, but now, I'll be one semester from graduating and I think the change will be good. I get to have everything my way.

I'm curious how I'm going to approach decorating my new apartment. I kind of have to watch my spending. I've been getting into flower arranging, but that's a bit of an expensive habit. I only do it when I feel really stressed, or when I have flowers. The first arrangement is one that I came up with after I had some roses left over from this lesson I made on the chemistry of perfume. I bought some extra flowers that were on sale and made the arrangement which I think is nice by itself, but it started molding fast :\

The second arrangement was made around February when Frederick got me a bouquet for Valentines Day. It did not mold as fast and it lasted longer. I'd like to have fresh flowers on a regular basis, but they're so expensive. I may resort to potted plants since I'm going to have a balcony and ample sunlight. While I should be thinking about finals and final projects, it's much more fun to think about decorating my new place. I'm still trying to flesh out what kind of feel I'm going for. I'm going to try, as much as possible, not to get my furniture at Ikea. I have nothing against Ikea, I just want to try vintage stores out first. Something a little more funky
