Welcome to Lansing!

Since 2002, I've held 7 different addresses, not including my old house where I grew up. I've called both East Lansing and Okemos home. I've had 5 different roommates. I've had my own room, shared a room, had my own bathroom, and shared a bathroom with 3 other girls. I've lived on campus and off. And now I've added an 8th address to this list, but I'm hoping to keep this one for at least a few years!!

Last Friday, Drew and I closed on our first house!! And I am now a resident of Lansing, MI. I don't think it's really set in that we are homeowners yet. I think it still just feels like I'm renting. We just need to finish unpacking first and foremost. My vacation starts on the 12th, which will mean I have a whole week of painting and cleaning and designing! I have big plans for some of the rooms! This is our kitchen, which is all part of the same room as our dining (directly to the right) and our living room (to the left in the photo). It's great that its so open, but leaves a bit of a design issue. Our living room (obvi once we get new furniture that isn't this 70s style hand me down crap) is going to have a relaxing beach feel, which sort of clashes with our fiesta style kitchen, lol. My plan is to paint the kitchen sort of a pumpkin orange, so it won't clash with the beige (uuuugh the whole house is beige, but we're going to leave the living room for now because it works). Not sure how I'm going to connect the dining room in all of this, so if you have ideas let me know :)

This is our only full bath. Our shower curtain is bright red, pink, lime green, yellow, and orange (god bless Drew for putting up with my taste haha) and our rugs are bright red. My thought is to go slightly bright in here and paint the walls a light lime green color, but I haven't decided yet.

This is our room. Obvi not a great picture, but our bedspread is seafoam green and white, and we also have lavender sheets and decor, so the goal is to paint this room a very pale lavender.

Other than that, the only other major plans are for the room I'm claiming as my office. It's going to get painted a silverish grey, with black and pink accents (duh).

Anyways, just talking about painting is making me a tired girl! Busy weekend of work ahead, but at least I have labor day off...so I can stay home..and labor...

Later kids :)
