Over the past few days i must admit staring at a blank apartment was getting scary..I'm not super creative when it comes to decorating. i felt overwhelmed and wasn't even sure where to start since i needed everything. I picked up my mom and aunt and we headed out to McCarthy Ranch. Thank god we did...i got SO lucky. There is this furniture place called "C & K United Furtniture". They were having an amazing sale. I'm not sure if they always do or not...but man i got exactly what i wanted. I wanted to go with a modern look, dark cherry wood, browns and tans with a slight asian vibe - sort of the feel you get from Hotel Valencia. I got a really nice tan suede couch - it's sectional with a chaise, a beautiful dining room table- cherry wood with tan suede on the chairs (matches the couch perfectly) it has a cool design on the tops of the chairs sort of just cut out squares, Then I got this SWEET ass coffee table..I'm not sure if my description will do it justice but i will try...its cherry wood and round with a glass top, the wood seperates the table into 4 sections sort of like a pie and under the table are these little stools that blend in...but you can pull them out and sit around the coffee table! Its the most awesome thing ever!! And the cushions on the little stools match the couch and the dining room table chairs!!! 

I also got a bedroom set. Its dark brown, almost black and looks very modern. Im not even sure how to explain it. It's a low to the ground type of bed and the top headboard is cut to sort of look like a half moon, the dresser is tall with 5 drawers and then i got 2 night stands. Picking a mattress was hard for me, but I think i got the perfect one and because of the bed's style i didnt even need a box spring. Everything i mentioned above...i got it out the door for $3k, he didnt charge me for delievery and he is gonna set it up for me!!!! I also hit up Walmart and Bed bath and beyond. All i have left to get is a TV, which I am waiting for the thanksgiving sales to begin and then it's on!!! I'm thinking 42-50" flat screen , but not sure which brand so if anyone has a recomendation please let me know.   It's all coming together nicely and i think i may be in this weekend like i had hoped for. Kitchen is all set..bathroom's set, bedroom is set, dining room and family room...set! Now it's time to move my clothes over (which is quit a task) and BOOM I'm home!!!!  What's gonna suck is going through my room....being in the same place since 2nd grade= clutter city. That in itself will take days. 

One thing I'm not thrilled about is parking. During the day it appears that there is plenty of guest parking, however at night this isnt the case at all. And my "garport" is fricken tight. I had to leave my neighbor a note asking them to scootch over. I coudnt even get my car in =(  Hopefully if they move over it will be ok and i will fit. The 4runner isn't super wide but man...its tough because the parking spots are tiny. Crossing my fingers the guy moves over and all is well so I can carry on with my honeymoon stage in my apartment ;-)
