Finally!
I’ve been leading up to this reveal for some time now.
I shared the inspiration for the space here.
And… a bunch of pics on my Instagram of small projects I was completing.
As you may know, I’m in love with small spaces and I’m on a mission to help you guys creatively decorate your own small homes. I live in a one bedroom apartment and run my business entirely from home, so it’s important that my home looks great and is functional for both living and working.
Now, that I’m done decorating my living room (well, sort of… I just have a couple more items I want to get), I can finally show you around.
I purchased the two furry pillows from Pier1 and the black and white cow print is from my shop. I’m making more pillows to put on the sofa. I’ll update you guys when they’re finished.
(Below) My canvas cow art from Kirklands is one of my favorite parts of the room. It seriously makes me smile everyday. It’s not a piece I would normally chose, but I fell in love with the colors.
The beaded pillows were purchased from Pier1.
I am so glad that I used this system for my wall shelving. I purchased it from Home Depot and it’s been incredibly convenient. It’s only 12″ deep, so it doesn’t take up much space, but it’s still deep enough to put books, mags, accessories, and our TV on it. It’s also fully customizable.

Hey Whitney! I love your space. The room is reflection of your own personal style which I adore. All of your elements came together to create a room you love. PS The link to your Etsy shop isn’t working. Is the beaded pillow from your shop from there as well?
Whitney says
Hey Brandi! The beaded pillow is from Pier1.

Zan says
Wow…how beautiful is your living room space. I love the pieces you chose to decorate. The beaded scones thingie with the cow in the middle is just amazing! Wall frames and all, everything is truly beautiful. The best part is, even though it is so well decorated, it is not cluttered!

Katrina,
Thanks so much, Katrina! I have a bottom shelf on my side table and the wicker truck under my wall shelves hold a lot of things, too. I make use of every surface in here.
Kristen from The Road to Domestication says
It’s so beautiful! I love all of the different elements! My favorite is how you styled your shelves around your TV – just perfect!
Whitney says
Thank you, Kristen!
Styling the shelves was seriously the hardest part. It’s kinda hard to work around the TV.

ALGEDRA says
Decorating small homes isn’t a big deal but the space planning is daunting. You don’t get to plan much and you always miss out a lot of things while focusing more on decoration. It would be a plus point if you share some space planning ideas too 🙂
Whitney says
Hi Algedra!!
I share a lot of space planning tips on the blog. Search “space planning” in the sidebar. Also, if you sign up for my email list (at the top of the page), you’ll get my space planning ebook for free!

Bethany Young says
The design of your apartment is stunning! It all looks beautiful and really stylish! I also like living in small places. The house I live in is small and I made sure that everything is really made convenient and the furniture is easy to clean! I love the cow painting! The colors are gorgeous and the piece fits perfectly with the rest of the stuff. I’m also interested in knowing more about this rug! I am looking for this kind of rug for a while now.. You say that it is made out of wool and it is easy to clean which is exactly what I want from a rug! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Whitney says
I’m so glad you love my living room decor! The cow is definitely one of my favorite pieces. The rug is from RugsUSA and I LOVE it!
Allison says
Can you give the details on the shelving unit in your living room, Whitney? I think something similar will work in my apartment! 🙂
Whitney says
Hey Allison! Yes, I used the Rubbermaid tracks, brackets, and shelves from Home Depot. It’s super easy to install. I’ll do a tutorial soon, so make sure you stop on by again.
Allison says
Perfect! I can’t wait! I’m thinking about installing this exact system in the next week or two!
Whitney says
Awesome!! I’d love to see photos when you’re done. And, if you share photos on Instagram, please tag me @whitneyjdecor! So, excited for you!
