Being in my mid-twenties, I’m right smack in the middle of still having a bunch of the furniture I moved out with (aka hand me downs and good old IKEA).

Now having my own place for quite a while now, I’ve been on the hunt to slowly start updating my furniture more towards my style and away from the typical college student set-up (I’m lookin’ at you black-brown).

When I mentioned slowly updating, I meant slow. It’s been well over a year of getting new furniture and I’ve gotten maaaaybe 4 pieces. With many more to go.

Furniture is expensive man!

It’s not easy to justify dropping hundreds on a new kitchen table when you’re still trying to establish your career and you’ve got bills to pay (and other fun things to do).
