They have arrived!

My Urban Outfitters shipment arrived and everything is so cute!  I love it all.  I still need to unwrap the duvet cover and put together the end table, so I think I'll do that tonight! 
This is a really simple post.......but I know I haven't written much lately so I thought I'd just be excited today about my new condo goodies. 

There's only 1 month left before I SHOULD know that everything is ready and I can close on the condo.  This week I am going to paint the vanity for the bathroom at Sandy's house...it'll be a pretty espresso brown color.  And this weekend I may paint my armoir the same color.  So that'll be fun and make me feel like I'm actually getting something done!
Otherwise I really do need to wait until I get closer to closing before I buy much else.......the laminate floors I'm going to wait to buy until right before we are ready to lay (or before we take up the carpet).  I might have to drive to Spokane to get the flooring I want, but hopefully Costco in Lewiston will have it in stock.

Going to contact another contractor this week possibly to get one more bid for installing the shower!

Recent Purchases from Urban Outfitters

Today I bought the bird duvet cover!  Pretty excited.  Because it was all on sale + free shipping, I got this cute white end table, and also this 5x7 area rug.  I think it'll be perfect for the living room w/the new couch and laminate floors, and just the right size. 
These are versatile pieces and I can use them in a bedroom or tv, living room, no matter where I live, so I'm excited I got them on sale! 
I'm so ready to get the show on the road.......just have to keep practicing patience.  Looks like a few of us are going to lay the laminate floors.  I'm most excited about this part of the renovation.  The wood floors will really open the space up and make it feel so much bigger.  Pretty sure the paint will happen first, then the bathroom, THEN the floors.

A few ideas w/photos

Here is the idea I am using for my bathroom.  The espresso colored vanity and blue paint mainly.  As of now the plan is to have the same laminate floor go into the bathroom.  And then I have a really fun Paris themed shower curtain from Urban Outfitters! 
And this is the duvet cover I want to get from Urban Outfitters.  My current down comforter is from high school and is ready to be replaced.  The walls in my bedroom will be a light soft grey color I think (like in Carly's room) and this bedding will compliment it!
