As graduation is fast approaching, I'm starting to think about all the real world encounters I will soon be having to deal with. Although, I will definitely be living at home for quite a while until I have enough money to move out on my own -- I can't help, but start to plan all the cute "must haves" for my first apartment. Whether you're moving out of your childhood home to a new apartment or your first college apartment, here are a few easy, cute ideas to include in your decor.
1. Personalized Home Map
Whether you're living with your best friends or a significant other, this is a super cute idea to document the first place you guys lived together. You might even keep up the tradition and do this for each place you live which can serve as a nice trip down memory lane later on in life.
2. Weekly Menu Board
At the beginning of each week, pick a different option every night for dinner. This is a simple, fun way to eliminate any debate or wasted time trying to decide what to eat each night.
3. Frame Key Holder
Put this easy DIY holder right next to your front door for the convenience of just grabbing your keys on your way out. This way you're bound to never forget your keys!
4. Wooden Coffee Cup Holder
Calling all coffee lovers -- this is a must. Not only is it a cute idea, but it provides easy access to those cups to get your morning fix.
5. No Sew Cat Hammock
Maybe I'm just biased because I have a cat, but this cute and easy idea is a must to make sure your furry friends are nothing but comfy.
6. Wood Panel Shoe Rack
All this takes is an old ladder and a few panels of wood to create more than enough space to fit all your shoes. If you're anything like me, this will come in handy and cut down on any clutter.
7. Laundry Basket Organizer
When I began college, laundry was one of the things I dreaded most -- I'm sure most people can agree. This DIY Laundry Organizer can be used by anybody, whether you know how to do laundry or not. Designating certain bins for the different colors makes it easy and simple. The organizing beforehand will save you a lot of unnecessary time.
8. Mason Jar Vanity Organizer
A woman's vanity is hands down one of the messiest places you'll ever see. No matter how many times you organize everything and say it will stay that way, it simply will not over time. These simple mason jars attached to the wall or a wood panel will provide a convenient spot for you to put each designated item in.
