Just posting today to show off a couple of pics of our new place, with more to come later.
We are in an apartment, which is close to 700 sq. ft smaller than the house. We also don't have the barn/garage anymore for storage, so it was interesting paring down to fit. No regrets. I am loving it. Most of the stuff we got rid of was larger furniture and crap given to us that we didn't use and just stuck in the garage waiting for a chance to sell/give it away. Half of our furniture we used for storage purposes because while the house was bigger, there were no closets. You have no idea how much I am loving the closet space in my new place. No more shelves, extra dressers, bins, etc. Closets and cupboards, oh my oh my.
So, to start out today, a view of my new LR and DR. We still have some unpacking to do (and are still using paper plates/plastic cups as much as I despise them, but it's not bad for being here less than a week.)
Looking good!
ReplyDeleteLooks good!!! I love how fresh and clean it looks. It's good to pare down, eh? I need to...:(
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I remember when my parents got divorced and my mom moved into an apartment, I LOVED it. There was so much less stuff and it looked so sleek and modern. I was 12 and thought it was the coolest place in the world! Then they got back together. lol.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great - very put together for having just moved in a week ago! It must feel freeing to have let go of the barn/garage stuff. Extra closet space is awesome, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of paring down all of our extra stuff so that we have a put together feeling home, too. I did a huge declutter in the dining room this past month, got rid of all the junk (it was truly awful before) and painted the walls a bright, cheerful blue. Almost nothing went back, and like you, I have no regrets about letting things go; I wish I'd taken the step much sooner. Walking in feels like such a joy now, not having the extra stuff to weigh me down!
I wanted to show off my finished dining room, that I mentioned in the previous comment.
