One of my biggest expectations for my home is to be able to express myself in it. I must be able to decorate everything from the walls to the windows to the floors. I have to show off my own art and art that inspires me. It's the place where I work and relax, and I want it to provide a space for both of those equally important activities. I also expect my home to be utilitarian. I love feathering my nest, but I really dislike excess. In my home, everything needs to have a place so that I can function without stressing out about little things. Most importantly, my home must accommodate me.
I plan on taking before and after pictures of the apartment, and I'm sure I'll post some of the after ones here. I'm also really looking forward to having a house warming party. I've never had one before, but I think it will be lots of fun and important too. I want my friends to feel welcome in my home, not to mention I like showing off my nest and having an excuse to play. All in all, I'm so excited for my new home, and I know it will be wonderful.
