I've done several before and after posts here about the current house that we live in {and promise a post of Baby C's nursery soon!} But I decided to show you a before and after of the teeny tiny condo the hubs and I lived in for three years when we first got married!
Skip and I were very excited and fortunate to be able to buy our own condo when we got married. Sure it was only one bedroom and the only bathroom was in our bedroom {not fun when we had guests over} but it was ours!
We had no experience decorating a place though, but decided to have some fun with it anyways. We wanted a red, white, and blue theme....would you expect anything less from a Marine who just back from Iraq? We had the red walls {blue in the bathroom}, blue carpets, a white couch, and tons of patriotic paraphernalia lying around. However, we knew it was waaaaay too taste specific to attempt to sell it in that condition. So we cleared out half our stuff to put in storage and tamed down the color scheme. {sorry the before pictures are so crappy!}

I am so much happier to have a real house with lots of space, but we did have some fun times at that condo. The best night we had there was hands down our third Christmas party when we managed to squeeze in SEVENTEEN guests! Good times!
