Like most UChicago students staying in Chicago for the summer, my new lease starts in June, and I am extremely excited to decorate my very own apartment space. My new apartment is unusually large but also oddly laid out, which means I need a lot of extra items and some pieces that perform double duties. Here is a tentative list of everything I am going to get for my apartment. And as always, if you have any advice for me, let me know!
Stripe Duvet Cover & Shams in Citron, $19-$89
Stripe Sheet Set in Feather Gray/White, $19-$59
Pebble Terrariums, $19.99-$34.99
Lacquer Jewelry Box, $49
Terrain Serveware, $9-$29
3-Shelf Folding Iron Bookcase, $59
Record Album Store Box, $16.99
Silver Mesh Handy Bin, $39.99
Watertight Portable File Tote, $23.99
Flytta Kitchen Cart, $159
Solsta Sofa Bed, $149
"U Are My Sunshine" 8x10 Poster, $15
One Inch Magnet Set, Stockholm, $5

We have that Ikea sofa in our apartment.. It looks nice, but it’s a huge pain. The cushion gets all discombobulated when you sit on it for 10 minutes and its not very comfortable. Just a warning!
