A little splash of color

Living in an apartment doesn’t give you many choices for color. I mean, you can’t paint the walls. Unless you live in an apartment where they let you paint. So, my apartment doesn’t have much color in it. White walls. Khaki-ish colored couch. Beige carpet. Pretty bland. See for yourself …

I find myself watching HGTV a lot (it’s either that or the Food Channel). I’ve got tons of ideas, but can’t do any of them (either because I’m in an apartment or because I don’t have the money to spend). One of the ideas that I got in my head recently was to buy new pillows for my couch. The ones on it were the ones that came with it, so they’re the same color as the couch itself. I thought that if I got some pillows, it would spice things up a little … or at least make things not quite so bland. So … since I was on a spending spree today, I decided to go check out Gordmans to see what they had for pillows. Of course, I was immediately drawn to the green pillows. But no … no green. I wanted color. While I do like green, I wanted something more dramatic … more spicy. LOL I found one that I really liked. And luckily, they had 2. So I bought them. I mean … they were only $10 a piece. They’re called ‘Game Board Salsa’. There’s my spice …

So … whatdaya think? Did I do good? I like ’em. But I really wish I had a house to I could REALLY decorate. That’s gonna be my next major goal. Build my savings back up so I’ve got money for closing costs and all that fun stuff. Then I’ll go house shopping. But that won’t be for at least a year and a half … probably two. Gotta make the apartment homey until then.
