The studio is finally starting to feel like a space where I can get some work done!
This apartment needed so much work before it was livable (we painted nearly all of the walls, installed shelves in several closets, replaced all outlet and light switch covers since they were all painted to the walls, bought more furniture so the things living in boxes would have homes, and there's still more left to do.) I guess when you combine 2 households and a new space with fewer rooms and storage spaces than the previous houses, you're bound to feel the strain.
It has been beneficial because I've had to toss a lot of items that I truly didn't need-which prevents me from reaching hoarder status in the next few years. But it's also been a bit tricky. My previous living room was twice the size of this one, which means my beloved end tables are in the basement for now. I'm not sure if I'll find a place for them, but I'm holding out until we have each room totally set up. Then they might hit Criagslist. : (
It's definitely worth it though for a ginormous studio/office to share with CJ! We're almost totally set up...so close!
