Apartment Hunting

I have exciting news..  We are buying an apartment!

After months of looking at old, smelly, shoebox apartments for rent, and realizing that we would have to share a space of 45 m2 to stick within our renting price range, we started to consider buying an apartment.  With the same amount of money you lose each month in rent, you could be buying the apartment that you live in, and investing your money in a smart way.


We've seen some pretty cool apartments, apartments with balconies overlooking the entire city, pools and gyms and fancy rooftop terraces, we even saw an apartment with no front door - instead the elevator door opens inside your apartment!  Imagine having no house key; it feels so futuristic to me.  

These are some (mostly girly) ideas that I love right now for our future home:

I would love to have a full out jewelry station.  I don't have my jewelry box here with, so my jewelry is currently scattered throughout a large drawer ; it takes me forever to find what I'm looking for!  IKEA must have something for this..

I also want to make a Laundry sign like this one.

Adding color to the kitchen, maybe it would inspire me to bake!

  5. Wow, that's a good idea, especially if you're going to be paying rent, you might as well put it towards a mortgage instead! Big step lady! Good luck on finding the dream home!
