Almost Furnished

As I’ve gotten older I’ve taken on my Mom’s affinity for looking at home magazines, and looking past the old items at estate sales to see the home design present.

All the designs I’ve seen have gotten me excited about furnishing my own home someday and since high school graduation, I’ve been collecting home items. My sister and I realized that we didn’t want to pay full price for furniture, and other items we would need, and we didn’t want to buy it all at once, so we started adding home essentials to birthday lists. We also started saving items for ourselves that my parents had replaced and were happy to give to us to use second-hand.

Just this evening I picked up kitchen towels, dinnerware, and some living room decor for over half off regular price. I’m excited to move out and see how everything will come together, new and pre-used, vintage and modern, and everything else. I still have at least a few months till I move out but I feel pretty confident that I’m almost finished furnishing.

So whether you’re antipating a move in the next few months or the next few years, start the collecting process now if you can, and make sure you pin some things on Pinterest while you’re at it.
