Going this long without posting something, anything really, always seems a bit disheartening to me. However, just because I haven't put thought to keyboard of late doesn't mean I haven't been trying to seek out inspiration. I could write about some of my latest online or in store shopping escapades, but that wouldn't be as exciting as talking about my upcoming move. Almost a year has passed since I moved into my current home, but now it is time to move again...hopefully the last for a long time. The place has been found, in the same neighbourhood, but closer to one of Vancouver's gorgeous suburban beaches and just in time for summer no less. Our, my lovely housemate and I, new place is going to be fabulous and as such means saying goodbye to a lot of current mismatched furniture, trading it in for new pieces that will turn an apartment into a home. Therefore, we have had a lot of fun lately with furniture shopping even if our budget is quite conservative. For the living room, there will be a new sectional sofa from IKEA, a gorgeous bookcase from Pier 1 Imports and a delightful kitchen cart turned portable bar also from IKEA.
Our bedrooms are going to be all sparkling new too. For me, a bed frame, to hold my hotel quality mattress, and dresser from IKEA. Lastly, there will be some kind of cute word print to adorn the top of it.
I don't have photos of everything I mentioned and even the things I do aren't the best because I always feel guilty trying to snap a photo in a store. I will definitely do another post once everything is bought and set up. These items are all just for starters and are some of the things that make me truly excited for this move. As one door shuts another one opens and I cannot wait to create new memories in what won't take long at all to become my home.
