That's amazing. If you weren't already graduated I would suggest interior design. Instead I will just have to hire you to decorate my house someday (when I actually have a place of my own :)

Elise said...

Yay for paint! It looks amazing! I love the rich colors!

Rachel Nell said...

Oh I love what you did! I like the kitchen especially. It looks TONS better. I'll have to come over and see it!

Blair and Lyndsay said...

It looks great Jaci! More done than my home!! Where did you get the cute rug in your front room, love it!

Ashley said...

The places I've rented never look that cute! It looks awesome. I love that chocolate-colored paint in the kitchen. Hope it feels nice and homey for you :)

I LOVE your style. Where do I start?? I love the color orange, so your chair in your family room is the bomb diggity! I also have the same ottoman (sp?) in my family room! I got it at TJ Maxx! Are you a TJ Maxx junkie, too? Love the leaning bookshelf, too. Seriously, I have two of those! The pictures on your wall and pillows on your sofa are awesome as well. You've done a great job with your apartment, Jaci! I love the contemporary/modern style.

Looks great, we really need to get together. The weekdays are great for me.

I think you guys just need a bigger t.v. and the room would be complete!

Brittany said...

Seriously amazing! You are so lucky they let you paint! Lovely, just lovely!

MKS said...

Kami said...

Nice job, guys! It looks awesome. Your landlord should be grateful!
Can you design me a cute baby nursery? I guess I didn't get the decorating genes that you did.

See...you do have designer skills! Next you can come to my house and use those "sweet skills." It was sure fun to visit with you the other night. Thanks again for letting us pop in. :)
