Changes
So the ex is moving out soon and as gut-wrenching as that is on a personal level it also means a whole lot of things are going away and the roommate and I are in a mad rush to replace them. I don’t know why but it kind of excites me a bit to get to redecorate. I think for the living room I’m going to go with a modern / Asian type theme, with modern furniture and Asian art. I ordered the coffee table, end tables and kitchen chairs today. I’m not 100% sure how everything is going to fit together yet, but I’m excited.
The bedroom is going to be the hardest because I want to setup a little sitting area under the window (where the bed currently is) with some button back stuffed chairs and a nice side table where I can sit and sip scotch and read. I really am trying to change my life in a rather drastic way because of all of this and I think part of that is going to be spending less time with computers and television at home and more time reading and being personable. I also think that if I can take the lessons I’ve learned and build on them it will make me a better person in the long run, which is always a good thing.
I will probably end up spending close to $3,000 in my quest once all is said and done. I’ve already spent probably $700 and I’m still working on the living room. Hopefully she will come through on some artwork that I can hang in the bedroom. I so do adore her art and would love to have some displayed. I figure I probably have another $300 to spend in the living room / kitchen and then I know I have at least $1,000 to spend in the bedroom and that’s if I still get a full size bed set for ‘my birthday’ that I was promised.
