Apartment Therapy

I picked up the book "Apartment Therapy" a few weeks ago, and I've devoured it in its entirety multiple times already. It calls itself the 8-week home cure, so I'm putting it into therapy for a few months and will hope for the best.

I've lived in my apartment for nearly 7 years and I feel like much of that time has been spent waiting. Waiting for what? I have no idea. The right time? Enough money? The perfect apartment somewhere else? When I'm no longer renting?

I think my apartment is cute on occasion...when the lights are dimmed, a few candles are lit, but all in all, what I've realized from reading this book, is that it lacks vision. It also lacks proper investment by me--investment in both time and money.

(On a side note, with the way the economy is going, I know Suze Orman would tell me that I can't afford to invest any money right now in my rental apartment!)

I'm excited to start working on my home, which goes far beyond picking out paint color.
