la casa de chelsea.

when i say casa i mean 5x5 box
and when i say chelsea i mean chelsea+roommate
but it was home nonetheless!

in honor of the fact that {God willing} i never see that dorm again, here is a memorial to my home for the past year! thanks for the memories {and the cramped space} south carrick. here's to hoping that my life living in dorms is over forever! {apartments are the new black!}

my teeny closet. bursting at the seems. {i dream of the day when i have a closet like carrie a la her apartment with big} but i dream... until then i'm perfectly content placing hooks everywhere and making my room a closet!
bookself. with some of my favorite things!
chicago cityscape, BOOKS GALORE {yes, thats a confessions of a shopaholic book! aka my life story}, my C mug, and a daily reminder to have kisses errryday!
woooah, gotta love that lighting.
and those cinder block walls! {i don't know why elledecor hasn't had a ginormous cinder block spread in the magazine yet?}
the one time i made my bed!
{but for real, "i ain't gonna be part of this system i'm an ADDULLLT! please"}
my medicine cabinet {stashing my flintstone vitamans and loads of midol... you know the important stuff} transformed!
lots of quote garland EVERYWHERE!
its my oh so sturdy blast from the past tv!
{which always has jimmy fallon blasting at precisely 12:35!}
is that a vhs player? why yes, yes it is. i get to play cool runnings and all the mary kate&ashley dectective videos whenever my heart desires! bonus- you can see my "remote" at the bottom. you never know when my hearing will go out and i'll need to blast the volume!

ta-da. oh good times. good times.
now its time to revel in my new diggs for the summer which include a kitchen, {imagine that!} a living room, and a bedroom! it's only been two days and i've already had the best two nights of sleep ever {without the roomie waking me up when she goes to her early classes} its a wonderful thing!


hope your day is simply swell!


p.s. since i moved i no longer have the same address! {which makes mo sense to me...} for the first couple weeks stuff will be forwarded to me but it costs money so just incase you were about to use my old address.. if you do need my new address just ask!

  3. only you could take a 5x5 box and make it look so darn cute and fun. your closet is so very colorful... mine looks like the wardrobe of an 85 year old compared to yours... i really should add some prints or something. enjoy your new ginormous space!

  5. Moving home after a year in the dorms was the happiest day of my life. I wouldn't trade that year in the dorms for the world, but you couldn't pay me to do another year in them.

  13. Wow you rocked that dorm room! It looked so cute! Apartments are way better:) I lived in a Christian sorority/co-op house for 2 years and then a house with friends for two years. I miss walking upstairs (I was in the basement because it was the cheapest room) and having 2 of my best friends there all the time to talk to! It was so much fun being able to live with them and now we live in different cities and I'm married and they have busy jobs.. anyways appreciate your college years! I can't believe I've almost been done for a whole year now!

    Your new header is awesome!! One of these days I need to learn how to make one!

  14. I wish I had gotten to dress up my side of the room as cute as you did yours. I mean, mine had personality, just not that much...

  15. i kind of miss the dorms, but i will agree that an apartment is so much better. i guess i just miss how everyone would meet in the lobby and plus we were so close to downtown...oh well! now youll have a ton of fun decorating an apartment!
