Semi-Disposable Swedish Furniture Life

Another busy couple of weeks. Two weeks ago, I made the transition from being an independent consultant to being a development engineer. And, of course, one transition brings another. The Toronto housing / rentals market is, well, an experience. It took me three days to find the perfect apartment, and about five minutes for another renter to sweep it up. A bit of luck and a few chance encounters, however, led me to a similar apartment; same building, better view, lower rent. Sweet. And now I find myself thinking about semi-disposable Swedish furniture and the post-student life. Do I go with the post-modern-retro look? The trim and efficient? Chesterfield? Couch? Queen-sized or double bed? Bookshelf? Kitchen table? Paintings? (Omit Tyler Durden reference.) Have I become one of those people?

More to come soon.

are you suffering from "now denial"?

You finally escape the grips of that pain-inducing, tiny GH bed and you can't decide whether to go for a double or queen-sized bed? Honestly, now. If it will fit comfortably in your bedroom with other furniture, OBVIOUSLY go for the bigger bed. How is this even a question?

Also, you should get a chesterfield AND a couch because redundancies are repeatedly fun.

Final thought: I, too, have finally moved out of GH. Feels good, doesn't it?
