I made nesting my bitch!

I'm one of those people that starts nesting, almost as soon as that second pink line pops up on the test. We've also been having some major discussions in our home about living here longer, rather than shorter. In october we signed another 9 month lease, we were not ready to commit to another year here at the time. 

But we've kind of explored our options as far as finding a rental house and we've decided that our long term goal of moving out of the metro, and buying a small 2-3 acre farm and either building our dream home. That is the goal, thats the dream. So instead of moving, and putting another 200+ a month toward another "this is not our forever" home. We've decided to continue to live in our apartment, which is actually, totally big enough. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and nice sized kitchen (while small, will make me appreciate building my dream kitchen) 

On to the point at hand, nesting. I decided to clean the kitchen. It was cluttered and unimaginably full of crap. Mr.C took out 2 full garbage cans of old boxes, old food, stale chips. Weird shit.  I then spent most of the day (in spurts) cleaning the cupboards, moving bigger stuff out to the pantry, and re-organizing. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I've got some awesome proof pictures! I always figure right after cleaning it will be the cleanest its ever gonna be.

Other things I want to do since we've decided to stay a while, paint. I'm tired of white walls. I want to paint the kitchen orange, our bedroom slate grey, CB's room fun color, maybe one wall of orange or teal, beans room will probably be painted aqua blue to go with the orange, green theme we're doing. I might paint the living room grey as well, maybe a fun bright color in the hallway since its so much darker. I just have so many ideas of things I want to do. Make this our for-now home while we wait for forever. For a while we'd just been waiting to move again. But we both agreed we are done moving. Our next move will be to our forever. This place is perfect for what we need now.
