There is so much activity going on at the construction site. They’ve been really busy haven’t they? The framing for the top, fourth floor is up. When I was driving by, I lucked out and had to stop at a stoplight by the building. I took the time to just turn my head and gawk. With the framing up I was actually able to make out which unit was mine. Seeing my place-to-be made me smile for an unreasonably long amount of time–long after the light turned green and I was forced to drive on away.

The countdown is now at about 5.5 months. Time is just passing by so quickly! Soon winter will come and pass and we’ll be into spring, which really holds potential for having fantastic moving weather. The mind races at possibilities. I’m still processing ideas for how I want to decorate. Last time I mentioned that in this blog I suggested that I was leaning toward an autumn palette. My mind is now starting to lean toward having a green accent wall to evoke more of a nature-feel tying the dark hardwood floor and other white walls. I still kind of want a sectional, but I’d be all right with a simpler couch. The colour should be kind of light/neutral so that it’d be easy enough to match a few cushions with the accent wall tying it all together.

I know it’s still too early. Doesn’t hurt to dream.

When I came back from lunch, I checked my cell phone and found out I missed a call. I checked my voice mail and got a message from the interior design people for the company that’s building my condo. I was kind of floored. I mean, the construction site is still a bunch of big mounds of dirt. I use the parking lot next to the site almost daily, so I get to indirectly monitor the progress. Really, I’m not exaggerating about the fact that it’s a big mound of dirt: there’s a mountain of gravel all fenced in. I see heavy machinery working all around the area and men in hard hats going about their business. I guess they’re just putting in the underground infrastructure first.

So, yeah, considering the lack of progress on-site, I was surprised that there’s already talk of interior design. Well, actually, there none really yet. The voice mail said she’d contact me again once she got pricing for my suite. Exciting, eh? I’m already starting to think about colour palettes and furniture. I should take a look at some home mags for ideas.

Fifteen months to go before the tentative date. Maybe I’ll add a countdown widget to the blog to remind myself.
