My Semi Furnished Living Room

When it comes to furnishing on a budget, it can be difficult.  I would love to have a wonderful looking apartment, that is modern and tasteful, but that’s simply not the case on a budget like mine. I have to get clever with piecing together pieces of furniture that I acquire for a relatively decent price.

So the photos below are showing what I pieced together on Sunday when I moved in to my new apartment. As you can see I don’t even have a coffee table, I’m using a Tupperware container beside my chair. The TV stand is a foldable plastic shelf that a friend lent me. Then there is my desk which I thought when I first moved to Fort St. John in the kitchen table which I thought just the other day for this new part.

Of course none of these things actually match, chairs brown, TV stands black, desk is gray and brown in the kitchen table is light brown. You can definitely tell that this was pieced together with little or no money. But I’m proud of myself, and how far it has come without spending a lot of money.

Some editions out like to make our simple things like photos on the wall or even heart pieces. I might be able to find some old posters at a garage sale even. The other thing I would like is a couch. The photos make it look like there is a lot of room, but I actually would only be able to fit a loveseat, possibly.

Lets face it, I like to move

I must be sick in the head, because I’m on the move again, well actually I have already moved, but lets start at the beginning.

I had been always wanting an apartment or house close to work, so I wouldn’t have to drive my vehicle. Yes I could have walked or rode my bike from where I was, but this place is so much more convenient. Anyways after some restructuring and organizing of the house I was living in and the purchase of a new house for one, 3 out of 4 of us decided we were going to move out.

After plans for a 2 bedroom fell through, I found a small 1 bedroom just 2 blocks from work. I couldn’t not take it, it was perfect for what I needed. Do I some what regret the fact I won’t be living with anyone, yes. Will my social life suffer, probably. But nonetheless I took it.

Here are some photos as I was moving into the place:

It is a nice little joint. It has it quarks and is not the newest building on the block, but I like it and it works. Now if only I could get Shaw here sooner than June 13 to hook up my Internet properly.
