Eternal West Elm love

For the past couple of months I have been spending most of my free time in furniture stores, planning, measuring, taking pictures and saving ideas. Like I mentioned before, Pinterest is one of the best tools and I ended up creating a private album with all the pieces of furniture that I eventually want to invest in for my new place. This way I end up having what looks like a moodboard that allows me to keep the same style throughout the apartment. It also pretty much works as a wishlist that I am constantly updating as I come across new pieces that I love. The best part of it is that it does let me keep track of where the furniture is actually from since I can no longer rely on my brain cells to remember it all. And let's face it, there are so many stores available online here and in Europe that I tend to loose track of them all. 

The good thing about living here is that we love our sales. I feel like the stores here really flood our emails with discount coupons and we also have the big sales during holiday weekends, so that way if you are not in a hurry at all you know you will be able to get a good price on that specific piece of furniture that you have been dreaming about. And that is exactly what I did in the beginning of this month. 

 

And yes, at this point my bedroom is piled with boxes from West Elm with some of the stuff you can see on the pictures above. (enter desperate emoticon here)
