Big News!

I am moving! My upstairs neighbors are buying a house, and their (HUGE compared to my apartment) 2-bedroom opened up, so a friend and I decided to snap it up. I'm so excited! For a minor bump in rent, I'm going to have a full bathroom (a bathtub!!), a full kitchen (an oven!!), a living room and dining room (dinner parties!) AND - this is the most exciting part - AN OFFICE. It's a 2-br, but the second bedroom is really small, so I'll be taking the "bonus" room as my own. Yes, I'll be paying more, and I'll be sharing my bathroom and common space with someone, but I think it will really be worth it. I think I'll save a lot of money by having a real space in which to cook, and a freezer where I can store veggies, fruits, and leftovers like I did in college. Also, importantly, I won't have to invest any more money in a deposit or last month's rent because it's the same landlady. Nor will I have to pay overlapping rent - my lease ends the same day the new lease starts. I also only have to drag my stuff up the stairs! Basically, it's a great great deal!

So, stay tuned for new decorating dilemmas - I will have SO MUCH SPACE to decorate! I don't know if I'll end up painting, but if I do, maybe I can do both of my ideas, one in the bedroom and one in the office! Let the fantasy decorating begin!
