I love our little home but I really wish we could renovate!  I read all these great design blogs every day and am so inspired by what I see.  It wouldn’t take much to make our place super cute.  One of the bigger projects would be to re-do the hardwood floors.  It’s hard to believe they covered them with carpet.  Yuck.

The biggest project would be the kitchen though.  Probably the only thing that my landlord would allow me to do would be to remove the hideous border above the back splash if I painted the room afterward.  I need to get curtains on the windows throughout the whole house.  All we have is the mini-blinds that came with the place.  The walls are bare too.  It’d also be sweet to lift the floor 10 floors up… pretty sure that’s not going to happen though!

When we moved in, our landlord asked if I wanted the bedroom painted the same color green as the other side of the duplex.  My favorite color is green and it was a really nice shade so I said yes.  I kind of regret that decision.  I wish the walls were lighter.  I feel annoyed that everything I buy for the room has to in some way work with that color because I know after we leave this place, that color will be history.  Oh well… at least I learned this lesson before we move into our own place.

Someday I will pimp my home.  Until then, I’ll save pictures of cute rooms.  Haha!

On a side note, I had a meeting this morning with another potential Luka customer. I’m going to hold off on announcing who they are for the time being but let me just say… I’m so excited!!
