When I left home about three years ago it was important to me that my little one-room loft apartment feel like home to my adult children.  I knew that while their father still lived in our marital home it would not have the same homey feel:  I took that with me.  Fast forward three years and I am now ready to move on to a real condo with actual bedrooms!  Yippee!  And since the condo is much bigger than my current postage stamp of an apartment, I do get to buy a couple of new pieces of furniture.  One piece will be a crib for my crib:  my son and daughter-in-law are having a baby boy in October so the timing of my move couldn’t be more perfect.  I will have plenty of room for my new little lovey.

I am looking forward to changing up my style a little as well.  Since I am the only one who will be living there, I can do whatever I want (one of the perks of living alone).  I saw this pink sofa at the Women in Digital Headquarters outside Columbus and fell in love.  So I tracked it down and I can’t wait to order it for my new fancy living room.  I have never really had a space where the only person who mattered was me, and I am having a blast just thinking about coming home and sitting down on my girlie pink sofa.  I might even get some maribou high heeled mules and drink champagne around the house because that is how I roll.

The pink sofa is from Ikea, so it is affordable for this girl on a budget.   I ordered a rug to go with it so there is no turning back now.  I couldn’t be more excited and I will keep you posted every step of the way.
