BINGING ON HGTV and PLOTTING for HOME DEPOT

I am currently on an HGTV high and thinking to myself how one can do a home design show in naija without 1. inviting unwanted 'guests' (a.k.a armed robbers) to the homes of those featured and 2. turning it into a cliched rip off of the foreign programmes.

Also, I have been making plans for my move to my first apartment. I feel like it is time that I move off campus and start to live on my own. I think that if I really want to be responsible, I have to stand on my own two feet. I am contemplating some DIY projects for furnishings because I cannot presently afford the furnishings and accessories that are more to my style. I think, armed with some nail guns, staple guns, pre-cut pieces of wood, fabric and batting, I can transform any space into my own private getaway.

Till then, I invite you to salivate over these pieces that I want:

1. The overall look that I am going for

Yeah, and then let's not forget all those beautiful extra expenses like cable, internet and phone...phew, it is exhausting being an adult.

Well, i will try and chronicle my journey as much as possible and bring you along...that is, the two of you who still stop by this blog.
