Thanks to the help of Keri and Lauren, my new place is slowly starting to take shape. Thursday night we did some major shopping and found bedding, lamps, the materials I needed for my headboard. Then, we set my new queen bed up. Oh yeah, I’ve finally graduating into having enough space for a work desk AND an adult bed!!! I am beyond ecstatic about that. It was after eleven by the time we fought the good battle assembling my office chair and new L-shaped desk. I swear those instructions were written by men for men. I also found the perfect dresser for my bedroom and sanded it down today to prep it for painting and new hardware tomorrow. Keri and Lauren put together the nightstands from hell while barely keeping their sanity. I’ll make sure and take some pictures soon to share the progress.

P.S. – Always make sure the first thing three things you bring into a new place are something to drink, a fan to beat the heat, and toilet paper. It’s a lesson I will not forget;)
