Apartment Design Elements + My Favorite Home Decor Sites

Two weeks from now I'll be all moved in (hopefully) to my apartment at school. This is crazy since in some ways it seems like summer has just begun but now it is so close to ending. After my fun lake trip last week I knew I needed to kick it into high gear to gather up my decor for my apartment bedroom. While Pinterest is great sometimes I have to lay out my own design board of sorts to get a better idea of how things will look together. It may seem a bit overwhelming put together on this design board but once spread out into my room hopefully it will become my own on campus oasis.

(I'll be back in to link some of these items this afternoon!)

Finding places to purchase home decor proved to be a bit more of a challenge than I had expected. While Target and Bed, Bath, and Beyond are great I wanted something a little bit different. After scouring the internet for unique shops that contained bedding and art that went with my overall design idea I discovered quite a few that have quickly become favorites! Here are some of my favorites! 

Caitlin Wilson // Furbish Studio //  Lulu and Georgia // Society Social // Joss and Main //  One Kings Lane //  Wayfair // Gilt // Design Darling // Waiting on Martha // Etsy // Nordstrom // Pottery Barn Teen //

And… I need your help! I originally wanted to do a bunch of fun decorative pillows across the front of my bed but now I've decided to start with a few and then add on from there if I want to! I want y'alls help choosing the pillows to use! Here are my options: 

Option #1: 

minus the monogramming on the middle navy pillows

euro shams // greek key trim // zebra

Option #2:

middle navy pillows

Option #3:

navy greek key border pillows

Let me know what y'all think and leave your favorite pillow combination below!
