Well... it is just about time to move into my new apartment! I can't wait! It is officially "mine" on April 1st, however, I'll be taking my time to move in... I still a lease on my current place and I would like to give the landlord more time to make some renovations :) In the meantime here is the list of what I've done so far:
1. Selected a warm, bold color palette for my accent walls! In the almost all window living room, I will use a shade of green: pine to help bring the outside in... it will go fabulously with the wood floors and the snow white trim! In the bedroom, I will use a shade of orange: pumpkin meets copper to add warmth and "comfort" to my future place of rest :)
2. My fantastic parents took me to Ikea for a few economical and space saving solutions. As always, they will be fabulously into the random nooks of an old home!! My favorite piece is the alcove/closet solution. I already have a closet... however, there won't be room for my dresser... leaving me clothes with no home. For this, I love Ikea :) I now have storage consisting of 6 cubbies, and four shelves... and even room for a bedroom television!
3. Outdoor furniture. Yes, that's right... I can finally have outdoor furniture :) I have a fabulous deck on my cozy (tiny) second floor apartment. I can officially have a real grill for summer fun... outdoor plants... and people over to enjoy delicious cocktails on warm nights... and of course, Sunday coffee and newspaper mornings... sigh, I'm in love :)
Stayed tuned for images :) Have a fabulous end of March!!!!!
