I never thought my interests would shift so drastically, but at my current stage in life the only things I want to spend huge sums of my money on are my home and my diet. Since we bought our apartment over a year ago, it still remains what I would call, ‘mildly furnished’. I did not imagine that the waiting period for furniture would be so long or that it would take so much time to find furniture to my liking. I sincerely thought it would be easier, but I suppose everything changes when you know you are buying for long-term use.
To be fair, my taste in home décor is like my taste in clothing: a bit unusual. A home, like your clothes, reflects your values and to some extent your outlook on the world. Thankfully, my husband wants no part in the furniture decision making, so I have saved myself from the clash of options. Having a place of your own feels rewarding but sometimes this gets overshadowed by just how much needs to be done.
