The First Things I Want to Do

For the past three+ weeks I've been living in limbo, I lived in a hotel, now Ben and I are staying with our wonderful and generous friend Glen until our furniture arrives. During this time, I've craved things about home that you often take for granted when you have a stable home. I know Jen has felt similar things with her home being under construction as it's repaired from tornado damage this spring.

Our furniture should arrive this weekend, and then we can feel more at home about things. Right now our apartment has bathrooms that are all set up, clothes partly put away, and kitchen appliances to use (but no plates, pots, pans, etc. to make anything). Therefore, we've been doing some stuff at our place, picking up clothes, taking showers, etc, but doing most of our "living" at Glen's.

So, in no particular order, here are first things I want to do when we get settled in our new apartment:
There are so many others, but just had to share a few. Anybody have any cute decorating ideas for our new place or any home accessories they've seen and liked lately? I'm so home project challenged, I'd love to hear them!

When I needed inspiration to decorate my apartment [and start thinking how I'll decorate my next place when I move], I went to Pinterest. So many cool and creative things, and they seem relatively easy to do. I created a DIY board and I'm hoping to create a few of these things soon! http://pinterest.com/remedina/diy/

Alexa, I can totally relate to craving things about home that you take for granted normally. I'm in a temp apt- living with one other woman- until my apt is ready in 3 weeks. I miss having a funcitonal kitchen (hers is a little gross) and all of my own stuff! WHen I go home on the weekends, I really have been appreciating the "little things". At least it puts things in perspective, and we'll appreciate it more when we finally move into our own places, right? :)
