Welcome Home
So here it comes — I LOVE MY NEW SPACE. :) The bedroom is a bit smaller, but it’s cozy; the kitchen opens up into the living space, which I love; and the bathroom — holy crap I took my first bath in ages and it’s going to be a normal occurrence! At my old space, my apartment faced a parking lot and a run-down apartment complex where loud, foreign music and screaming children were an all too normal, and annoying occurrence. Here, though I am literally steps from a major highway, my balcony faces a courtyard that is super peaceful. I’m excited, super, super excited. After I get settled a bit more, I’ll be taking some photos for ‘before’ reference and I will share a few with you all!
With this new apartment comes new projects — and my to do list is already piling up with more projects than I can take on in the next month. They include:
- Pick paint colors and paint accent walls in living room and bedroom (attempt to put the free Glidden paint to use that I got a month or so ago in their free giveaway.)
- Take an as-is Ikea Malm headboard (scored for only $8!) and attempt to upholster it with linen fabric and a nail head trim
- Buy a desk (was considering the Bond desk from West Elm, but am thinking that in the spirit of saving, I may go with the Mikael from Ikea.)
- Refinish coffee table from pine to an undecided color
- Oh, and yanno — UNPACK!
So with that, I sign off and will be back in a few days, once I get settled a bit more. How was your weekend, any fun projects you are working on? I’d love to hear!
(Also, when you move into a new space — check for silly people who didn’t secure their internets for free wifi while you unpack — saves you from having to deal with internet install during the hustle and bustle of unpacking! ;) Silly people!)
