We need an office space

We live in a tiny place so we have to make use of every bit of space.

We have a hallway which is more like a hallroom that connects the 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. 

 Before hall miniroom 

See all that space? 



Plans are to put a desk and chair then organize the space. 

Take care lovelies!

No readers

I know that I haven't been blogging regularly.  But no readers yesterday and only 1 today.

I thought surely people would follow over from my other blog.

I admit I spend too much time on Instagram.

I'll admit that it's been a quite an adjustment to moving and starting a new life.  So I hope to get back to blogging a bit more.

Who reads still?  Leave a comment please.

Hope things are going well for you.

Take care my lovelies!

Shopping

So one would think starting over and buying furniture would be fun. That's what I thought.

We wanted nice furniture that was built well and would last. 

We made the rounds to Ballard Designs, Pottery Barn, West Elm, La-z-boy, Restoration Hardware, Ethan Allen, Rooms to Go, and a local store. 

Whew that was a lot of looking! 

Nothing really said I'm the perfect sofa. I think spending a lot of money was overwhelming and thinking this sofa would have to be our sofa for at least 5 years factored in. 

Another thing was it didn't make sense why things were priced so high. I'm sure that it's because it's made of better material. Was the $3500 sofa really good? 

Same thing with bed frames. Like one I liked was $2800. Not including the mattress. Yikes. I don't think I'm ready to spend that kind of money until we buy a home. 

So we looked at IKEA and felt like the selection was good and the prices fit our budget and temporary home. I don't know how long we will be here. 

We still have a ton to but and decorating to do. 

I'm adjusting slowly to a new life.

 Take care lovelies!
