I finally see it!

Well...we saw the apartment for the first time today. I think it has a butt ton of potential, mom thinks it needs cleaned and dipped in a giant vat of bleach! Needless to say, the previous tenant was a very dirty individual! The carpet gets cleaned on Tuesday, then Wednesday evening I am going to bug bomb, then on Thursday and Friday night I will be scrubbing and scouring it to death! I have a great start on my furnishings and should be able to accomplish that task, with help of a friend, on Saturday! It has a HUGE amount of storage and closet space! It must have over 20 cabinets in the kitchen and 7 in the bathroom...a walk in in the bedroom, a full pantry, and a big hall closet! A front door off the living room and my back door leads out of my bedroom onto my covered porch! With another storage out there! I found several area rugs I really liked at Ikea but they are better than $150 and up, for the ones I liked..so that may wait a little while. I got my Shinto screen today, Japanese room divider for those who don't know, and it was cheaper than online, by the delivery charge. I got a real nice set of lighter grey and silver curtains for the living room..This place is going to be SO cool..I SO cannot wait!!!
