Out With The Old, In With The New..

A common question my client's at work always ask me is "What are your hobbies?" Honestly the first thing that comes to my mind is... SHOPPING! Seriously!! I do have other hobbies: boating, hiking and such, but lately my hobby is shopping. I love being married and having a home of my own. My favorite part of having my own home is putting stuff in it! My new favorite store.....

Joey says I'm addicted, but I just really love it! Even if I don't buy anything I just love going and seeing what they have to get new ideas for my next project.

We recently got a new couch, we gave our old ones to our friends, and I love the new one! I call it a grown up couch. It just looks mature, so since we got a new couch, I felt like the rest of the place was just boring and bland. I have had so much fun redecorating our little home. I feel like our little apartment is twice its size now, we have so much open room. Its much more comfortable than before.

Before...

After...

Our Wedding Shelf, one of my favorite things

Since we have decided to stay in our apartment a little longer until Joey gets his Journeymen license (he takes his test this month!) having new things make it a little easier to wait for the time to come to actually get a house.

I finally feel like we have a home and its all put together. We have lived in our apartment for over a year now and I had always felt like it was never fully put together (I'm just waiting for Joey to put one more thing together... big surprise :-)). Having cute nice things I can enjoy lessens the stress and anxiety of what house hunting brings. Just cross your fingers that we can find one soon!
