So maybe I procrastinated a little bit too. But I have been super busy for real. Anyway, some folks wanted to see what I'd done, what I would do, etc.
So here goes:
Number one: I do not like yard work nor dealing with the outdoors.
Number two: I do not like critters.
Number three: I do not like to hear people stomping their feet above me when I'm chillaxin' or sleeping.
Therefore, it was imperative I have these three items handled with my abode purchase. I bought a third floor condo.
No yard work. No critters from living on the first floor. And I'm THE top floor. So no one above me.
I got it brand spanking new. Like I got to choose if I got fans or not, (I did). Carpet or wood, (carpet). Washer? Dryer? (Yes. Yes.)
Then two years later, I decided to actually make it look like a respectable human lived here. I threw myself a birthday party. That way I was FORCED to get it looking right for the guests.
It's still a work in progress. But I'll do a post by post of various features. All in this one post is a bit much.
But here's one:
Color scheme
I knew red would be my main color preference. I also knew I wasn't painting any walls. I don't have that kind of patience or focus.
I did a lot of research and an interior designer buddy came over and helped me get things set up a certain way. Then lots of reading and paying attention to things I liked that I came across.
There are different types of red. It took some trial and error but I finally figured out I love Love LOVE BRIGHT cherry red. Burgundy, blood red, or other off-reds just don't cut it.
Ikea and Target typically have the red I go for. Ikea is hands down my favorite when it comes to sourcing my favorite red.
Once I decided on red, I already knew black and white would be the accent colors. And since Doodle Divas was all about black and white with a splash of red, the color scheme was perfection.
