So when I made the decision to live on my own next year, I was facing the grim future of an empty apartment. Right now, I'm renting my bed, desk, and dresser. I'm borrowing a bookshelf from my Godmother and then I own a night stand which I bought with mom at the beginning of the year. Oh, and I have a tray table that my best friend painted and gave me years ago (covered in stars - I love it!). The furniture in our living room is entirely my roommate's that she found when she got here a month before me.
That's it.
So I was delighted when someone gave my roommate random furniture which included a chair and ottoman (that's the word, right? the "chair stool" that matches the chair?). You've seen the picture of my fabulous chair already. So I now had ONE piece of furniture (1 1/2 really).
Then I officially announce my future move to private housing. One friend demands that I take her futon. My cousin calls saying she may have a table and an entertainment center for me. Then another friend says that she's getting rid of the furniture in her room including a bed and desk!
I'm just saying that when you ASK, you WILL receive. So... ask.
(p.s. I'm still looking for donations if you have something slightly loved that you no longer want!!)
