Decorating my new place
Jul. 17th, 2008 10:12 amI spent a lot of time this winter thinking about potential moves and the space I'd like to be living in. If I had planned to stay in GP, I would have moved apartments, because my current space is just too small, cramped and noisy.
The apartment therapy book really socked it to me. I started thinking about how I never have people over. Living in a bachelor makes it almost impossible to entertain, because you're basically hanging out in a person's bedroom. If I was to have people over, they'd basically have to be on the bed. (which could be advantageous, I suppose, but doesn't generally work well with the average friendship.)
I also wanted to have a space where I could have people over for food or tea. One of my priorities is to have a spare futon/couch, so that people can stay with me when they come to Edmonton.

The apartment therapy book also made me think my chosen and preferred style and decor. I have basically chosen my style which (surprise!) is Asian and modern. I'm sure that this is shocking to everyone. This means that I prefer dark woods, and plan to have Asian accents and a lot of red and black.
I'm kind of excited to furnish my new apartment. First thing to buy.... A bed.
