Penny's Apartment

Just recently my boyfriend and I have got into CBS's hit sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. We just completed season 1 and almost done with season 2. We watch about 3 episodes every night once the kids are down. And I must say, I haven't laughed so hard from a TV show ever before. I love every single character in the show so much! At times I'm just mouth reading, with all the geeky scientific terminology from Leonard and Sheldon. But what makes me relate to this show the most, is Penny!! I cannot help but relate with her so bad, personally being a girlfriend of a computer software engineer. Girlfriends of geeky men are not always geeky as well btw. If this show didn't have the character of Penny, this show would be nothing. Really.

I'm such a big fan of the show as well as Penny, I've dedicated this post on an inspirational mood board for her apartment. Her apartment is very joyful and airy with the bright colors, textures, and patterns that what girl can't resist to live here?

Penny, being twenty something, working a minimum wage part-time job at The Cheesecake Factory, I'm sure it isn't that realistic to afford a 1 bedroom apartment in Pasadena, CA. But who knows, I'll try my best to locate adorable/affordable DIY projects to create a look just like hers.

By just taking a look at the picture up above of her bedroom, I see:

IKEA, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, World Market, Bed, Bath & Beyond and Pier 1
