Interior Design!!!

I'm moving in an apartment on November 30th! Because of that, I've been mostly occupied with getting all my things in order for the move. I recently bought a new bedding set for my boyfriend and my bedroom.... I picked out a really nice black microsuede comforter and beige sheets. :) I wanted to do black, burgundy, and light grey, but it required a lil sewing on my part, and my power cord for my sewing machine is missing!!! :'(
I haven't quite decided on what else I want to for the room, although I'll probably move the little desk area we already have as it is to the new place ^.^

Don't you just love that picture? It's from my favorite anime, Nana :)

For the most part, I think I'm going to stick with black and beige for our room. We got a really, really nice wraparound beige leather couch for the living room, too! Our friend Alicia is selling it to us, so we even got a great deal on it. My boyfriend is a stingy boy, and keeps arguing over my ideas for the apartment (because they cost a lil money and might be a little more decorative than practical at times), but this is my first apartment, and I want to decorate!!! I'm all for diy ideas, however, because I got approval to do those. ^.^ The only problem is for all my great intentions... I don't know the first thing about interior design. Oh well. I'll do my research :) Wish me luck!
