The Search is ON!

I have more than one "search" that's currently "on" at the moment, actually! Friday, my boss was nice enough to let me take off so that I can join my parents up in Greenville and search for a place to live come June! I'm pretty excited about that! I've narrowed down my search to a few really nice apartment complexes and I'm hoping that they turn out to look as good as they've advertised them to be. A 2-bedroom is a MUST for my housing search, so guests will be welcome anytime! :0)

My other search relates to the bedroom situation. Since college, I've been confined to a twin bed. Now, to some, this may be no big deal. However, I had a full bed since the age of 3, so a twin has been a change for me! (My brothers don't have any sympathy for me though, as they had to share a room and sleep on twin beds their whole lives in our house...even when their feet were falling off the edge! haha. What can I say? I'm the baby...and I'm the girl...and we only had 3 bedrooms!) Moving on...calculate in a dog that sleeps with me every night, you can imagine the tight squeeze. One of my favorite things about going home has been getting to sleep in a "big girl" bed again! The exciting news? My parents are letting me take my double bed with me when I move! yay! But, it REALLY needs a bedding update! I mean, I've had the same bedding since 5th grade. FIFTH GRADE, people!!! It's over due for a change. Imagine this kind of bed...except it's a little bit "shiny-er"...but this is pretty close to what it looks like:

So, it's very vintage feeling...chic, per se. My favorite color is pink, but I don't know if I need to "stray" from having too much pink! So, I'm trying to find something grown-up looking for my new bedroom. I don't know if I want something shabby chic, or more modern...or what color scheme I want to go with! Ahh! So many decisions! But fun ones, nonetheless. And yes, suggestions are welcome!

And on a side-note...I get to go up to our mountain house the rest of the weekend! Our place is the most relaxing little (and I use that word lightly...) cabin on a little lake in the North Carolina mountains about an hour outside of Asheville. It's my "happy place." And I haven't been up there since this summer. The weather is supposed to be PERFECT too. I can't WAIT! Just so that you can be even more jealous, here's a little snapshot of my family's piece of Heaven on Earth...aka: the Loch Hoosie (that's Scottish for "Lake House"!):
