More Space!

Yes, our apartment does have two bedrooms and *is* 840 square feet, but I had bruises all over my legs and thighs from slamming into furniture as I tried to squeeze between couches and around the coffee tables. And our second bedroom, or "the den" as we lovingly call it, had become (or maybe it was always?) a dump space for anything we didn't want to deal with. I hated that room and only really walked into it to use my sewing table or to clean up whatever messes were piled all around the furniture. The den was simply there to host junk and the occasional guest on the pull out futon, but we hadn't had anyone come to stay in awhile. Nathan had gotten to the point of telling me that I was no longer allowed to say anything about how much I disliked that room until I had taken a stab at doing something about the space. So on Memorial Day weekend, Nathan and I did a complete makeover of our apartment. It's still in transition stage (a set of curtains that should have been hung in September, and some recently acquired chairs that need reupholstering), but there is space and light, and the apartment seems to have doubled in size. I love it!
