As some of you may know, I transferred to uni this summer to chase a masters degree in Sociology. When I was studying Social Work, I used to commute to school everyday. It took a two hour bus drive to get there, with long stops and two switches in between that I absolutely hated. Since the university of Antwerp was even further away, my parents and I made the decision that it was best for me to look out for a studio in the city to stay in during the week. And so I did. And so I found one. It’s very small, but it has a perfect location. Across the university entrance and the student restaurant, a short walk from the main shopping area aaaaand there’s a coffee bar a mere twenty meters from my doorstep. Can’t get any better than that! My studio is fully furnished, but I still needed a lot of kitchen – and bathroom supplies before I can move in this Monday. I’ve been stalking my favorite decor stores all summer to find all the things I need and love! Hema, an originally Dutch store, always knows what a girl wants. Their whimsy kitchen wares are instant happy-makers and everything looks so colorful and sweet. Personally, I would like to keep things basic with little fun touches. I took a look in their web shop and maaaan, was that a bad idea! My money’s going to roll… and this is what I’m eyeing:
Grey jar with floral detail €5.50 • Grey jar with wood stop €6.75 • Glass bell-shaped container , €7.75 • stackable glass bowls , €2.95 a piece • Striped tea towels , €5 per pack of 4 • yellow flask , 0.5 liter , €17.50

When can I come and visit? =D
Sasha says
I think it's a nice thing that you will get the experience of living on your own and decorating your own space. 🙂 The things you found are the most adorable! 🙂
Kaysie says
Those are definitely worth eyeing. I recently started watching Giada at Home (yay cable!) and have become obsessed with clear bowls. Like, you can't be awesome in life unless you have them.

Klinkt echt als het perfecte kot! Prachtige locatie, en spulletjes shoppen is natuurlijk altijd leuk!
