Things Never go According to plan...

So things never go according to plan.

I wanted to renovate and move in by Spring Break. Ha! Who do I think I am?

With the craziness that was my school work, the overwhelming work load and my own schedule, I did not have the time nor energy to start renovations. The Coop board required A LOT of information before I can even get approval to start renovations. Which I guess makes sense, but it was annoying!

Now that I finally finished school (finally!) and work has gotten a bit easier, I can devote my time to finally renovate my apartment so I can move in (yeah, I was paying a mortgage but not living in it yet, it needs THAT much work).

I have a general contractor, an electrician and a plumber all at the ready and I was finally approved to start renovations this Thursday. I'm really excited. Like, really excited. I have an awesome kitchen plan from Ikea, great appliances at the ready and an eager sibling who wants to decorate my entire apartment (she thinks it's hers to decorate...calm down T).

I will be taking some before pictures to post soon. Maybe I can send them to HGTV and win some kind of design on a dime award or something....wishful thinking. Will keep you all posted!
