Spare Bedroom Painted

This was the first room that I painted in the condo, thanks to my Dad!!!! He started painting the day I closed!!!

I don't know what it was, but for some reason this color (Behr Primer Paint - Forever Denim) just stood out in my mind. I felt that the spare bedroom/office was the best place for this color.

As you can see... I have blue accent pieces such as my Sky Dive Certificate and the blue strips in the ironing board (normally that is not out on display in this room).

I just purchased a smallish black desk, Thank You Target, for this room. I'd like to place it where the iron board currently is and move the bookshelve to the opposite wall (not shown). I'm trying to decide on the perfect chair for the desk. I don't want an actual desk chair, I'd like to have something that could be decorative and functional at the same time.

I'm still working on the actual setup of this room. Once I've completed it I will post a couple pictures of the end result.

Painted Kitchen

Last Friday I was home watching TV when I got the sudden urge to go pick out paint colors. I had a few colors for a couple of different rooms in mind, but wanted to make sure they looked good before buying a couple gallons of paint. So I headed up to the paint counter at Home Depot and bought 3 sample colors, all Behr Primer Paint.

• Above is a picture of the kitchen with the "Sandstone Cove" paint. I took a picture of the pantry door because the actual color is so very light, that without seeing it against a white door you might not know that I spent most of my Saturday taping and painting my kitchen, bar area and wall next to the bar.

So... what do you think?

Closing!!!

I received a call from my Realtor this afternoon... closing is set for two weeks from today!!!! June 23 @ 2:30 pm. I can't believe I will be a home owner two weeks from today. It's crazy :)

Going shopping with mom on Saturday hopefully we will find some stuff to decorate the condo with.

My couch should be delivered between 2 to 4 weeks. I've ordered the couch shown up above, but with different pillow covers. I'm holding off on purchasing a dining room table and chairs until after I move in. I've purchased two tall bar stools so at least for now I can sit at the bar until I find the right dining set. I'd like to find a small narrow desk for the spare bedroom so that way I can have an office/guest room. Still need to find something for the guest bedroom that can sleep two people, but doesn't make it look like a full on bedroom.

I've got plenty of time to get everything done since I'll be living there for years and year and did I mention years?

I decided to create a blog to keep my family and friends up to date on the progress of my new adventure... Home Owner

I am in the process of purchasing a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo. The condo is currently occupied by renters, so they had to be given at least 30 days notice to vacate. This worked out well for me because it gives me an opportunity to go through all of my stuff and purchase other things that I will need. I have a feeling that June 30th will be here sooner than I expect. June 30th is my closing day aka the day I officially become a home owner!!!!
