We resigned our lease so we will be living in our apartment at least for one more year. I know it is the right thing to do, but it was still a little sad for me. I want a house so badly! Now I'm even more motivated to make our current surroundings look and feel like home. It is a slow process, but something I'm committed to. I've been cautioned not to spend too much on furniture and things that may not fit in a house once we purchase one. I know that is smart, so we are thinking of other things we can add to make our apartment more home like. I do have a few items of furniture that I want to buy, but I am trying to keep it pretty inexpensive.
That is the crazy thing about furniture. How a coffee table can cost $500 is a little beyond me. Especially when you figure that the materials used to make it probably add up to under $100. I like to think that if we had the room, we would actually make some of our own furniture, but that's probably a little ambitious. Although...with all the step-by-step guides here a girl could start thinking that she really could tackle making her own coffee table :)
