Filling the House

I am experiencing something I haven't lived through in a while. A "bare" looking house. After graduation, of course I had the near-empty apartment, but it didn't stay like that long. Then when Andrew and I combined two 2-bedroom apartments, in to one 2-bedroom apartment, things were pretty out of control. Now, in a 3 bedroom house, things feel a bit empty. So, I bought a piece of furniture yesterday.

I think that it was a fabulous find! I went to a yard sale Friday afternoon thinking that I might find a couple of doors that may work as replacements to the 2 we are missing (one to a bedroom, and one to a closet). When I walked into the yard, I didn't see any doors. Even though I was tempted to just leave, I decided to look around a little bit. Then I saw a desk that looked promising. Andrew said that he wanted something to go in the foyer for the mail. Sitting in front of me was a slant top desk that I thought would be perfect. I took some pictures on my cell phone to show to Andrew. After getting approval, we went up yesterday to purchase. We lucked out, and it was still there, and they were able to find the key for it. I talked them down to $125, and now it's sitting in the foyer waiting to be re-finished. I'm really excited about it!!
