Sprucing Up!

B and I are finally getting down to business with the major redecorating we are doing to our condo. I think it all started with our visit to my parents’ new condo last two weeks. We visited their new place, which was still empty but partially furnished and decorated. We fell in love with my parents’ place almost at once and that got us thinking about getting a new condo.

We are not looking for anything too fancy like the beautiful Barcelona apartments available for vacation rental online. We know and are well aware that anything too fancy would cost us a bomb, which is simply not feasible at the moment. But we are now inspired to at least decorate our current home to make it more cosy and fancy at a lower cost instead of hastily running out to buy a new home!

Apartments for vacation rental in Barcelona

Spacious and Airy

Cosy and Inviting

The first thing we really want to do is get a new sofa for the living room. Thanks to my naughty cats, our current sofa is not only worn out but scratchy all over too! Yeah, it is hard to buy anything really expensive when you have four cats roaming around freely at home to do as they please, which is another reason we’re cleaning and redoing our home.

The plan is to clear the huge guest room we have and turn a section into a kitty corner. I have no clue how we’re going to pull this off just yet but I’ve been getting some good ideas simply by browsing through the gorgeous apartments in Barcelona online. Some of the design and interior are truly inspiring and if you are clever and creative enough; any space, big or small can turn into exactly what you want it to be, including my much talked about kitty room!

Anyway, yesterday we dropped by IKEA to check out the furniture as well as gain more inspiring decorative ideas for our home and we are dead set on bringing home a new sofa. B has also cleaned up our balcony and currently clearing the living room. Next week, by hook or by crook; we’re finally going to install a much-needed AC in our living room, bring in the new sofa (I’m thinking white!), fix all our lighting at home and prepare the kitty corner for our kids.

First Choice

I can’t wait to see the finished work and I am hoping this new setting at home will ease our longing and yearning to actually purchase a new condo. We will make the best of what we do have instead of wistfully thinking about purchasing that gorgeous but oh-so-expensive duplex, which for now will remain a dream I guess. Me and my dreams!
