So… I have some news. I officially have a new roommate.
Okay so he’s not really my “roommate” because we don’t argue about the other one throwing parties, or bringing boys over, or eating all of the food I just bought, or sitting in the dark waiting for me all night to come home [freaky..]. Clearly I’ve had roommate issues, probably 75% only child syndrome and 25% crazy roommate syndrome.
Instead I get to live with my best friend who just so happens to be my future husband. There is a lot of adjusting to do and organizing to take place [which is why things have been a little boring lately on the blog], but we have LOADS of projects up our sleeves. We will also have lots of tips and tricks on making the most of a teeny tiny apartment with negative storage.
After only being a two days into this whole new living arrangement my feelings are:
excitement that we’ve opened this new chapter in our lives
fear that he’ll realize how much hummus I really do eat
uncertainty about when he’ll decide to go home each night [oh wait.. he lives here!!!]
neglect for all of my ceramic animals who are now homeless because Derek has filled both of my bookcases with.. you guessed it, books! the horror!
ecstatic that both of our closets fit inside one teeny 5′x3′ closet. It’s a miracle I tell you!
jazzed that I’ve accumulated cool things like a record player, Eames hang it all, and 500+ spices [the boy loves to cook!]
apprehensive about some of the CRAZY projects I have planned, but grateful that Derek is being patient and letting me try them anyway
So that’s what we’ve been up to. How was your weekend?
PS: our yard sale pile is growing and growing. We’ll post photos of some of the merch later on this week. Message me if you’re interested!
PPS: today is my 26th birthday! Yay!!!! :D
Happy birthday! You’re going to love living together. Hooray!

Yeah…prepare for apt design arguments :) two designers + one apt = strong design opinions

Congrats! M & I moved in together almost 2 years ago and I can tell you, living with a boyfriend/fiancee is WAY better than a roommate because he has to listen to you when you ask him to pick up his socks. ; )
