One of my goals while Sean is deployed is to decorate our apartment, it's small (our living room and kitchen are a shared space) but I know it can look better than what it does right now.
Currently our apartment is decorated with furniture I acquired when I was in college and living on my own. So..a lot of it is hand-me down furniture from relatives. I'm not joking when I say it looks like a bachelor pad or the only decorating I've done consists of hanging a total of four pictures on the walls.
I'm just kind of at a loss of what I should do or where I should even begin. I will say that I have picked two things out.
One being the bed set that I think I'm going to get. We like a lot of black and white and I like this bedset and so does Sean (which is important)

I'm thinking about a few turquoise or some other bright shade of throw pillows to help break up the black and white.
Also..I've picked out what I want my new dinnerware to be.

Turquoise Fiestaware! If you haven't noticed I'm a big fan of turquoise. I have some green plates from Target that I got for our wedding, but I'm not feeling them anymore and I don't have a complete set of them, so I don't feel so bad getting something new.
So..my point to this whole blog is where did you get inspiration for decorating your home? A magazine? A blog? A website? Martha herself? Please share!
