Apartment Rehab in Under A Week.

I dove in head first when it came to constructing my new studio apartment.  In attempt, to keep my life as simple and minimal as possible I opted for the tiny bachelor apartment with the small price tag.  I had my doubts at first, I usually hate small places.  I need to have freedom in my environment to roam or to get away and escape.  Somehow even though it is just one room, I feel like having the tiny hallway in this apartment allows me to have a bit of that freedom.  I've taken my time settling into previous apartments, but not this time.  I was on a mission to get it up and running in no time flat.  Luckily, I had a vision instantly as to how I wanted it decorated. There is no time to waste when you have a million different projects and goals to accomplish.  My move in date was on the 1st and I finished phase 3 on the 5th and for under $500, including my new TV!  Since I'll be saving almost $250 a month on rent compared to what I was paying, I had a little splurge.  I still need a few things: some cool chairs, a sideboard, hanging pendant lamp, barstool, and a little kitchen caddy/shelving unit.  Here's a little tour of what's happened so far..
