Before Sunrise/After Sunset.

When I first moved into my apartment back in August of 2006, it really didn't look like much. With the bare walls, drab curtains, iron secondary gate, and cold florescent light-bulbs hanging from the ceiling, it resembled something like a prison cell.

Fortunately, IKÉA was there to help with a store just 30 minutes away and with my minimalist zen sensibilities, I managed to convert my living space from drab to fab! Here's a list of items I bought to make my flat a warm, functional, and convenient place to call home:
