Hey guys!
So if you guys have been following me on social media, you guys know that I recently did a
room re-arrangement plus a little bit of an update to my room.
So I'm gonna be doing a new updated room tour of 2018.
In terms of furniture, nothing has changed since my last apartment tour video but the
main change is the arrangement of the furniture.
If you guys remember from the last tour video, the bed used to be right in front of the door
when you walk in and the room didn’t really have a great flow.
I moved the bed over to the middle of the room so now there is a nice walking path when
you enter the room
Let’s start the tour by talking about my bed.
The bed and the headboard is from IKEA Brimnes collection and something that I love about
this collection is that they have a TON of storage.
So here on the headboard, there are these built-in shelves where I keep some of my favorite
books from novels, to japanese interior design books, to music books and workout books on
the bottom.
As for the storage under the bed, there are 4 relatively large sized drawers.
I keep my extra bedding, winter clothing, and bags in these and I love that they keep
bulky items out of sight which is really important in small city apartments.
As for these drawer handles, these are something I saw from Pinterest that I thought looked
really good- so instead of using the basic white handles the bed comes with, I got these
extra handles from IKEA, I believe they’re called LANSA, and I basically spray painted
them gold to match a lot of the white and gold color scheme I have going on in my room.
The duvet cover is from Target’s Shabby Chic collection from YEARS ago.
The pillow cases are custom made with fabrics my mom and I picked out in Korea- we got them
made by a seamstress.
The center cushion cover is from West Elm and I have a teddy bear from Build-a-Bear.
Next, There are few things I have on top of the headboard of the bed.
I have the LOVE print and the Keep Calm and Carry On print that are framed.
I also added a succulent planter and a vintage-style radio that used to be in my living room.
Moving on to the side of the bed that’s not so visible from the door- I have some
knick-knacks that aren’t so pretty to look at so they’re all hidden here on this side.
I have my glasses cases, an eye mask for sleeping, and a bunch of random items.
Next to the bed on this side, I have a little charging station.
This charging device is great because it uses up only one outlet but has a bunch of USB
ports so you can charge all your devices here at once.
Next let’s move on to the dresser.
These are actually two dressers from IKEA MALM collection that are next to each other.
I have a glass top also from MALM collection that keep them together.
Another bit of customization I did with these dressers is with the knobs.
Normally these dressers don’t come with any handles but I purchased these round gold
knobs and got them installed on each of the drawers.
This was another idea from Pinterest that worked out really well.
In these dressers I have most of my foldable clothes including jeans, sweaters, sweatshirts,
workout clothes, intimates, and socks.
I've been on the hunt forever for the perfect pineapple lamps so it was totally worth the
multiple Target trips to get these.

multiple Target trips it took to get these.
I also have a marble tray from target which holds some of my candles and essential oils
that I use at night.
The main item on top of the dresser is my marshall speaker which looks and sounds amazing.
Next to that I have a photo of me and my boyfriend from when we were in Prague together.
Behind the picture frame I have the Amazon Echo Dot hiding- and I use this device to
control most of the lights in my bedroom as well as setting alarms and asking for weather
in the morning.
Moving on to the corner next to the dresser, I have a new addition to the room, which is
this meyer lemon tree that I got from online.
One of the things I wanted to do when I rearranged my room was to add a bit more color.
As you can probably tell I’m a little commitment-phobe when it comes to adding color in my room but
I thought plants were a great way to add color.
This tree actually came with a bunch of young lemons already attached so I can’t wait
to watch it grow and harvest them at some point in the future.
On the window sill, I have another small succulent planter which I got from Whole Foods.
Next to the windows I have my shoe storage unit which is from Container store.
I bought them in two different sizes so I have the taller heels and booties on top and
flats and shorter heels on the bottom.
On top of the shoe storage unit, I have my jewelry box which is also from Container Store.
It’s by a brand called Stackers- and I love this brand because they have these trays in
different sizes and configurations so you can really customize your jewelry box exactly
the way you need it.
So I have a tray for glasses storage, a tray for small earrings and necklaces, and finally
a tray for watch and ring storage.
Next I have another piece of furniture that’s new to this room, which is the Billy bookcase
from IKEA.
This bookcase used to be in the living room but when I rearranged my room I saw that I
had a lot more space than before so I was able to move in this bookcase from outside.
The bookcase holds some of my textbooks, current books I’m reading, and my document binders.
On top of the bookcase, I have my favorite alarm clock, the sunrise alarm clock which
I use everyday-- and the YouTube silver button for the strivetofit channel!
Last but not least, I have my closet.
Nothing much has changed with my closet except for the fact that I donated a lot of clothes
that I hadn’t worn in over a year.
Same as before, I have all my tops organized more or less from light colors to darks and
all my light jackets, pants, and dresses on the right.
I have my purses organized on this shelf-- as you can see I’m a big fan of black purses.
And finally I have my boots and my weight scale at the bottom of the closet.
So that concludes my room tour video.
Hope you guys enjoyed it!
If you liked it give it a thumbs up and I will see you guys in the next video!
Bye!!
