If there's one space in my apartment that I really love, it's the living room. I have definitely spend the most amount of time decorating in here and I love it because it doesn't feel so "apartmenty". I have been able to put all of this together on a really big budget butttt all of this adds up so I highly recommend buying things before you move into the apartment so that way it doesn't seem like you're buying everything at one time.
There was one major thing I wanted in my living room...an area that I could have all my friends over and entertain. Plus, I realllyy wanted a couch that had two "L's" so that I could stretch out my feet and watch tv haha. I love how it turned out and it's the perfect space to hangout with my friends or just relax after a long day.

Before I moved in, I put together this mockup of what direction I wanted for the room...
Here's the before of the living room...
Here's the after of the living room...
Here's how I turned $27 Ikea picture lights into really expensive looking lights...

We LOVE this couch. Never ever buy this couch at full-price. It's on sale allll the time.
Coffee Table:
I am SO sad!! I can't find this coffee table in stock anywhere :(. I'm trying to find ones that look similar!
Console Table:
I could not find a coffee table that I liked that wasn't $1,000+. I found this one at Home Depot and Ben and I stained it a black color and added small gold knobs. It is perfect!! We love it and it looks a lot more expensive than what we did it for.
