Napoleon found our place on craigslist about a month ago. We had a lot of trouble finding the right place for us, but I think we ended up with a condo we'll be happy with. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms (which I hear having separate bathrooms is the key to a successful relationship haha), and is located just outside of Annapolis, in Arnold, MD. The kitchen is a lot older than I would have liked, but I have learned that most everything in the area is pretty old. It's a stark contrast to Charlotte, where the majority of places were new builds! So I will definitely have some adjusting to do in the kitchen.
I had intended on taking some "before" pictures of the empty condo, but completely forgot until after we had unloaded the Uhaul. So the pictures I did take have boxes and some furniture, etc, in them. Oh well. Eventually once I'm there and settled and we get everything the way we want it, I'll do some before and after pictures
Since we're renting, we don't plan on doing too much work to the place, but I did insist on repainting the walls that are currently a turquoise blue (the sun room/dining room, the kitchen, second bedroom, and bathrooms). So that was our first project for the weekend! Napoleon picked out the paint color prior to my arrival. It's definitely not what I would have chosen, but I ended up really liking the way it looked. Hopefully he'll paint everything else before the end of the month as a nice welcome home not-so-surprise, hint, hint.
Here is my first "sort of" before and after. I say sort of because clearly the pictures aren't really before or after. We had already started painting the room before I took the picture, but you can see the original blue color. In the after picture, we finished the painting and put up blinds, but the room will be empty for awhile so stay tuned.
