Your condo sounds EXACTLY like ours! Same size, same kitchen, same counter with barstools, everything the same except we don't have hardwood floors. Lucky you. Ours is all carpeted except the kitchen area, entry and bathroom -- all vinyl. Ew.
The balcony is a Godsend -- you'll love it (UNLESS you end up with a damn smoker below you -- 'cause the smoke blows up into your balcony and in the window. Gross.)
We have a lot of plants out on our balcony -- it's the only place we have to garden. You'll love playing in the dirt, especially if you have WORMS.
The bathroom sounds bright. Eeek! Your mom sounds SUPER, and I love her ideas. Yeah, the green will tone down that yellow. Gee, I'd love to see pix.
We also have blinds. I really hate them, especially when it comes time to clean them. ARGGGGH! What a mess. However, they do a good job of providing privacy and keeping out the hot sun. If we were to stay here any longer, I'd definitely make curtains and lose the blinds. Curtains are much softer and warmer-looking. I did make drapes for the sliding glass doors going onto the balcony -- it had those plastic vertical blinds over the door, and I really hated it so much, I just couldn't stand it. Drapes are easy to make and look much nicer.
Your parents are right about being higher up. We're on the second floor (there are only 2 floors), and condo owners on the first floor are always complaining that people take ("borrow") their patio furniture, thinking the unit is a rental, and never returning it. I wouldn't want someone to be able to just walk right up onto my patio. (Also, the first floor condos are always getting hit with golf balls.)
I'm so happy for you, Ashley. Hey! You'll be moving in about the same time we will. (I hope.)
When you go to Boston, you'll take your laptop with you, won'tcha? We'll still be in touch, eh?
