After coming to the realization that we will most likely be chilling in Ohio for a bit longer, it's hard not to let your mind go on with life. See when we decided we were going to be making the big move we started selling off furniture, knick knacks, etc. And while it's been nice living clutter free... sometimes you start feeling more like you are living in someone else's home. That brings me to the issue of the day... what happens when you fall in love with something that you would then have to move??
What sparked this?? A chair... A beautiful chair from World Market.... a pair would just look STUNNING with our living room set. But at just more than $300 for the set, not only would we be spending money... but would also be giving ourselves two more pieces of furniture we would eventually move. BUT that's not all... our overwhelming need to eat Sweedish meatballs has us craving a trip to Ikea. Which we can never leave without spending at least $100 on storage units, lamps, decorations and of course a few packets of Sweedish meatball sauce. Then it's not worth taking a trip down to West Chester if you are not going to stop at the Outlet Mall which means even more shopping and fun finds.
So where do you put the limit? We haven't had a viewing in more than a month... and there is no sign anyone will buy it anytime soon... so shouldn't we enjoy our time here? I mean those home improvement shows that tell you how to sell your house spend $2000-$4000 to make a house "ready to show".... so maybe those trips could be investments in the house... and maybe a little bit to my closet. After all it's important to look cute in case I ever get an interview right??
