Things to fill my apartment!

As you have previously read, I have found, "my first place" and am now seaching for things to fill it! Couches, bed, desk, coffee table etc. are included but things like spatulas, mixing bowls, wisks, dishes and so on seem to be the things I take most for granted when cooking in Mom's kitchen. Everything is there.... and probably more. My kitchen though, well boxes at this point, are slowly being filled with my first kitchen tools! Who ever thought these kinds of things would excite me! I decided it would be more economical and fun to collect brightly colored plates, bowls, and mugs from thrift stores and yard sales than to buy a big boxed set. These places have also been great for the tools I mentioned earlier! There are a few things I decided to buy new, glasses, knives, we'll see about pots and pans! I want non-stick but have found that when people are getting rid of them it's because they are all scratched up. The pictures below are just a few things I've accumulated! Mom recycled her old towels to me and did a little revamp on them! She is so creative, they turned out so well! She has been amazingly helpful during this whole process of finding apartments, shopping for apartment stuff, and giving me ideas for making the place feel like home! Thanks Mom.
