Learning to Cook.

I've promised myself that in 2010 I will learn to cook. For a handful of reasons but mostly because I need more relaxing activities in my life and because I have a sweet new kitchen to do it in. As you can now see.

I decided when I determined I wanted a house that was black and white all over to pick accent colors for each room. Since my living room, kitchen, and dining room are attached, I'm keeping red throughout.

I went on a huge hunt for red appliances and as you can see found a few. I also hit the jackpot with red KitchenAid at Marshall's. I'm obsessed with Marshalls, TJMaxx, and Homegoods. By the time this adventure is over I'd say 90% of my condo will have some from one of those 3 stores.

Putting together my kitchen has inspired my to commit to learning a new recipe per week. But that is beginning after I get moved in. : ] Maybe I'll cook something on a video blog soon. Or at least post a recipe.

Love,

Carpet 180.

So when I bought the BP condo, the only part about the condo I just couldn't stand was the carpet.  Clearly the people who owned my condo before me did not have a very well trained pet.  Hince these puppies (pun intended)...

Oh yeah and the bottom staircase had this lovely basementish carpet...

But have no fear!  All of that filth has been removed and replace with...

Well I feel better, don't you? :] I LOVE it.  More pics to come soon.  My stuff is finally joining me at the condo in less than a week.  Can't wait to be sleeping in my real bed again.

Love,

B
