Ikea

I am still all about my home decor and home organizing efforts, so I am going to Ikea this weekend to get on it.

I want to start with my room and then work my way around the apartment.

1) GARNITYR Storage with 7 compartments, beige, white flower, $14.99

This is gonna be perfect for my closet, I seriously need more space. And I will also get the 2) boxes that come with it:



They sell the set of 7 boxes for $12.99.

3) GARNITYR Shoe box, beige, white flower, $8.99/2pack



I am still unsure about these shoe boxes, but these would look great with the closet storage and boxes.

4) BAGIS Clothes-hanger, black, $0.99/4pack



I need new hangers too and these are uber affordable!

These are the ones on my list, but I probably won't be able to stick with just these, you know what happens when we let loose in Ikea! :P

Do you like Ikea?

Pinteresting Apartments

Like everyone else these days I am so addicted to Pinterest. I spend hours on end on that website!

One of the first things that screams grown-up is getting your own place.

My favorite thing to search on Pinterest is "apartments". Some of my faves are:



Oh how I wish I can make my apartment look like all of that!

Mine looks a bit like this, only a little less pretty:

Just white walls with minimal decor. I want to start getting into home decor though.

Tips? Suggestions?

Insomnia strikes...

Insomnia strikes once more. It's 1:10am and I cannot sleep, so I thought why not go ahead and do something I've been meaning to do for quite some time now and that is to start my own blog.

I literally have no idea what to say right now, but I'll take a whack at it.

So basically, I'm a twenty-something lady who's trying to figure out what to do with her life. I named my blog Raising Miss Ryan because I am sort of "raising" myself in a way and I guess I kind of want to capture that here on my blog. Besides all the life stuff though, I want to also talk about beauty and fashion like a proper blogger! =)

So I guess I'll end this here. Hopefully I can gather more inspiration to write more interesting posts.

Good night!
