I bought a hotel room!

Actually, I bought what's known as a "condotel." It's an efficiency apartment in The Knickerbocker On the Lake Hotel, a charming little hotel not too far from where I live here in Milwaukee.

As you can see from the photo below, it needs some SERIOUS love -- so, over the next few months, I'll be fixing it up. When it's done, I'll put it into the hotel rental pool, and it will be rented out as a regular hotel room. My hope is that it will pay for itself in the long run. And, in the meantime, I get to decorate a hotel room. I'm seriously design nerding out.

I'll keep you posted on my progress. If you have any experience with this sort of thing, I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts.
