In the past few weeks I have had several neighbors moving. Put this together with the fact that I have lost the vast majority of my furniture due to a pretty lame breakup with a pretty lame guy and you end up with me being all too happy to have scored (so far) 3 book shelves, 2 tables, and a floor lamp.
When we moved in I had one large bookshelf, a microwave cart, a desk, a full size mattress and bedsprings, a twin size mattress, a couch/futon, 1 lamp, 2 end tables, and a cool, retro record player that doesn't work. I didn't even have a dresser or microwave.
I acquired a microwave that quickly died and was replaced by another used one. I purchased a chest of drawers and a bookshelf for my daughter's room with tax return money. I also bought a vacuum cleaner and a desk chair.
The furniture I've otherwise come into possession doesn't all fit into the scheme or style I'm going for but are structurally sound and have good "bones". I thing some painting is really all they need to fit in.
On the list:
- medium size free-standing bookshelf
- large bookshelf I had in the beginning
- 2 small free-standing "media shelves"
- 2 IKEA end tables
- microwave cart
- possibly parts of the record console piece.
I'll be posting updates here as they happen.
