As some may know, my husband (George) and I are new home owners. Three months ago,we bought a cozy 2 bedroom condo in Arlington, VA. The condo is centrally located, near shopping and transportation and has great space with lots of potential. The thought of having the free will to paint walls, change light fixtures and update the kitchen and bathrooms without having to change it all back, like in rentals, its super exciting. We have several projects already in mind to make this condo truly ours, but as much as we (and by "we" I mean "me") would love to just go crazy and begin tearing down walls and remodeling the kitchen and bathroom right away, we are practicing the art of restraint (again, by "we" I really mean "me"). We have a few fundamental home improvements to take care of first, like replacing all of the windows and glass doors in the unit before I can have a go at the cosmetic changes.
Fortunately, we were able to fully furnish the condo using the existing furniture we had in the rental unit. We did add a few new pieces to the dining room - a glass dining table and light fixture. The dining room project continues, as we are in the market for the perfect area rug and chairs, we are also awaiting a fabulous art piece that will hang on the back wall, where we currently have four silk-screen prints from Puerto Rico. I'll be sure to add new photos when it gets here.
A few weeks ago, we also purchased a new sofa and chair for the living room that we expect to receive in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, here's what our current living and dining space looks like.
