we are moving....

so we don't own a place, but I'm excited anyway... we're moving to a bigger and CHEAPER apartment- 2 bedroom in Lyndhurst NJ.

I had my contractor friend check out the wallpaper removal situation in the kitchen and bathroom - and no problem- it's going to come down easily and the walls underneath look good.

Went to Janovic today in the city to pick out some paint (my interior designer friend told me to stick w. Benjamin Moore)- we picked out some really nice colors and got some testing jars to make sure we love them.

We also saw that their are wood floors under the carpets- so we might be ripping them up as well.

I know it sounds a lot of work for something we don't own, but the landlord is allowing us to do whatever we want, and we want to make it spiffy as we'll probably be here for 3-4 years.

We have until March 15th to get everything together- here's hoping we can make it speedy!

Congrats!! DH and I did the same thing. We moved in August to a nice big two bedroom apartment. We put a lot of money into this place between paint for every room, new carpeting, window treatments etc etc. But the way we figured it, we are going to be here for at least a couple years and we wanted to make it our own, our home, to fit our taste and the landlord had no problem with it. Have fun decorating and enjoy your new place!!

Re: we are moving....

Good luck with your move!

A move to a new nicer place is always exciting... rent or own.
