BEFORE Pics!

So, here are the photos of the place as it is now. Empty. Needs some work and TLC.

I see sooo much potential in my little condo :)

Kitchen. Needs appliances! I am thinking white cabinets/island, and dark laminate flooring.

The living room. I cannot wait to paint over this ugly red wall and get rid of the carpeting. I am also searching for inexpensive ways to beautify the fireplace. I don't like the black at all. Glass tiles and a white mantle, maybe...?

 I want to put a small kitchen table here.

Bedroom.

The woodburning fireplace with ugly black tiles.

The bathroom has wainscoting, which I LOVE and am not changing.

Hi, I'm Angela...

...and I just bought my first home!

I could not be more excited. In short, I wanted to create a blog to journal and share the progress I make with it - in terms of home decorating and design. I am a creative person. I went to college to be a graphic designer. I write this as I sit in my desk at my non-graphic design job.

So it goes.

But I still love it, and I still do it. And the other thing that I love-but-don't-do-for-money is interior design and home decorating. So, you could imagine that I just can't wait to go from my tiny studio into a (not) much bigger one bedroom condo, where I can surround myself with all things ME. And it will all be MINE! And my dog, Romy's. :) I have so many ideas and almost don't know where to start. I haven't even moved in yet! But as I go along, I'd like to share some photos, get advice from others and have fun.
