cozy nightstand


My cozy little bedside table *^_^*

As plain as it is, I really love my cute little nightstand decor/arrangement. I think it perfectly showcases my personality (girly, cozy cottage/country, disney, books, extreme organization, etc… haha). And yes- I drink from jars. Maybe it's my country roots, but I really love drinking from jars! They hold more water than most cups and they are freaking cute, so quit hatin'!!! :P

So if you're curious about all the items I have up here, (because I mean, why wouldn't you be?)  I will go over them! My adorable "oil-lamp" is from Lamps Plus- it is so nice. I love how it has a little tiny bulb on the bottom glass, as well as the top glass (not currently on). Then we have my glasses, a photo of Anthony and I, my favorite Dior lip balm, my jar o' wawter (country accent), remotes, books I'm reading (The Happiness Project, The Fault In Our Stars, My Sweet Audrina), Raspberry Peach Macaron candle annnnnd a little tiny Alice.

I also know that some people have commented on the exposed brick in my studio and said that they didn't like it, but I LOVE it! Even though it doesn't match my cottage/sweet/carnival theme, I kind of like that weird contrast! I think it works :P

I hope you guys enjoyed seeing yet ANOTHER sneak peek of my studio design. It's SO close to being done. I'm very happy that I finally feel as if I'm able to go back to focusing on more important things in my life ^_^

  10. Most LA studios have brick so... They can go kick rocks. Lol. I actually like the brink as well. And that lamp is precious. I'm jelly. (>~.~)>

  11. Jars are useful for drinks (with cute umbrellas and a straw of course), for gift giving, candies, jewelry, or paintbrushes, etc. I'm a fan. Lol

  12. The brick is actually one of my favorite things about your place that I have seen. There's something about it that seems to make all of the cute stuff stand out more. Then again, I love exposed brick matched with elegance in general. Also, that oil lamp is gorgeous.

  14. I love the exposed brick! I think it's charming. :) Your studio is just gorgeous, I love seeing it in the WULAS vlogs. I'm really curious about trying that lip balm, I keep hearing so many people rave about it. I think I'll have to try it out! ^_^

  15. Love the bricks wall too. I think it oddly goes well with ur theme as long as its warm tone. so edgy and unique. it would have been "too sweet" if the wall in white or other pastel colour. So do keep the bricks! N of course love ur nightstand. and that oil lamp? stunning! how dreamy it is. wish i could have one.
    first time to comment. Love u K.

My treasures items I have is a vintage/fancy lamp with a pale pink lamps shade, a large fabric doily, my prized item, a retro digital radio, and a white bunny rabbit night light. I also have these cute coasters which have world war 2 posters printed on them for my water :) xx

  33. The beauty of this is how it's so simple but so beautiful at the same time. That lamp looks vintage, is it? It looks like an antique artifact of some kind. It's gorgeous!

  34. I know exposed brick is usually more of a cold urban look, but with your decorating choices it actually feels kinda country, and a lot warmer/cozier. Love what you've done with your place!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I wish I could do things like this! I'm totally creative at designing drawings/art, but when it comes to decorating rooms my skills are just sad :P
    Thanks for giving me a girly retreat to look at during my day, my room is currently under construction so I don't really have a peaceful space that's totally mine right now.

    Stay wonderful!

  38. I can't wait for a studio tour! It's getting so close to being done!
    I loved the vlog where you got those plates in the giant boxes!
    So I was wondering if you could do a blog post, or vlog on your dinnerware, utensils, flatware(if that's what it's even called..), etc.
    Thanks!

  45. Hi Kalel. I am Lauren. I thought you would like to know that my last name is Kitten. Yes, it's not a joke it really is. I really want to get into correspondence with you. I really look up to you, and when I get older I want to have a personality like you. Not to add you are gorgeous. I really hope you see this. Just in case you want to get in touch, I have an Instgram. just search Lauren Kitten, and the private account is mine. I hope you will respond because it would really make my day(s). Just so you know I watch a lot of your vlogs. I hope to get in touch. If not, I still love what you do and am going to stay a fan!
    With tons of wishful thinking,
    Lauren :)

  48. Hi Kalel! I recently moved into a dorm room and the walls are so darn ugly. Do you or anybody else have any advice on how to make boring white walls look prettier without 'permanently' changing the walls? :3

  49. What kind and colour are your curtains!? I love your blog! xx

  50. Hello Kalel, my name is Natasha and I'm 13 years old.
    I don't know where to start!
    I love your apartment so much and wish I lived there. I love your designs, your décor and you sense of style. You are my inspiration and it would be my dream to meet you! Not giving to much away, I live in Australia and recently moved state. I've fitted in well but I wish I could move back and when I'm sad I always watch you and Anthony on watchusliveandstuff and have probably watched all the videos 20 times, actually I lied maybe 15 times each. I would love to be like oyu when im older and I want to be an actress or a designer and travel to LA to do acting. I do dancing and im on Pointe! I would love to go to japan to get all Kawaii stuff for my room which has started to look like your apartment and plz open a p.o. box because I have some stuff to send you and one day I would love to meet you (not going to happen) p.s. love the brick wall and all your candles. we don't have those candles here but when I go to LA im going to get some! please reply it would mean the world to me {lol soz the reply was long and I don't want any mean replies from anyone}

    -Tash If tou can dream it you can do it!
