So far...

First off, a little overview of the apartment I am moving into:


-2 Bedroom/1 Bath
-2nd bedroom = Office/Study Area
-2nd Floor of a two floor unit, four apartments per building with a courtyard arrangement of three buildings total
-Hardwood floors throughout (deal maker)
-Spacious wood balcony/deck
-Great closet space!
-My rent includes all my water, $75 electricity allowance and cable (perk for the starving college student :P)
-Includes stove and refrigerator
-Located less than a mile from UNCG's campus and is right in from of the Higher Education Area Transit (a.k.a HEAT Bus) Stop, which takes me right to campus! It's free for students and I thought it would be great to support UNCG's "Not all about parking" campaign that suggests students get involved in alternative transportation and car pulling to GO GREEN!
-Located directly across from Lindley Park (awesome place to study , go for a walk or have a picnic)
-They are pet friendly as well and I am most likely going to have Bo come stay with me if Celena and Clark decide to give him to another home ( They're thinking maybe Izzy's constant colds and runny noses may be an allergy :/ )

So far I have purchased:
-Textured Iron Bistro Table and chairs with creme fabric cushions (my first purchase)
-4-piece Black/Gray/White Queen-sized Comforter set. Paisley/Floral pattern (Will be purchasing the bed room suite closer to August - looking to buy an Sleigh Wrought iron set from my Uncle's furniture corp)
-Bar Set with a fun black and white serving tray I found at Target
-Faux Leather Wine rack
-2 Silver base/White Shade contemporary lamps from Bed Bath and Beyond
-Large, framed, Parisian painting that my Aunt bought for me at TJ Maxx Home Furnishings (will be going back there SOON! I've been to the one in Apex and High Point and they have some awesome things) It sort of reminded me of an early scene of Marshall and I :P
-Black Iron/Glass Coffee and End Table set (please excuse the pictures I haven't hand a chance to clean them since they've been in the garage so they're a little dusty) I got these off of Craigslist for $30 all together! Although since I've purchased the Lillberg sofa and loveseat, I'm not so sure about them going with the light wood base :/.....any feedback on this??!?
-Espresso wood chair from Target (to go with my secretary desk)
-A Few framed art pieces and a silver photo frame with a clock (very cute)
-A few outdoor lanterns, one that I love from TJ Maxx home furnishings which is blue glass with silver accents and has a tea light holder) it has a very Balinese vibe to it. And a black metal swinging leaf lantern that I got from Big Lots.
-An awesome Catskill Kitchen cart with a double dropleaf extension on the butcher block, with removable wire racks and a single wooden drawer. Easy to move as it is on wheels.I got this for a steal at $25 on Criagslist and found it online at Lowes for $309!!!! See link here
-3-tier Wire shelf unit from target
-Haier Portable Dishwasher
-Kenmore Portable washer and dryer
-Lillberg Sofa and Loveseat
-Currently Fugly-stencil painted wooden secretary desk, that I am refinishing and painting satin black! With all new silver accents and knobs!
