500 Square

No one should have to live in an apartment that is under 500 square feet -- especially not two people and a pretty big dog. It makes every attempt to buy furniture way too dificult. "Oh, that's a great CD rack, and it would actually hold all of our CDs. Too bad that it's about 5 inches too wide to take up the last remaining wall space in our living room/ kitchen combo."

So, thin wobbly CD rack and CDs spilling out all over the apartment it is.

The main point of furniture shopping today was trying to set up my study space, really a desk next to our bed. Found an awesome funky desk for pretty cheap on Craigslist. But, a tiring trip to Ikea and Target proved that there are very few stylish and functional office chairs in my price range. At least I found the barstools we've been wanting for a year and a half, and a cool lamp... and my backpack was delivered yesterday...and I am now the pround owner of no less than 30 highlighters. Okay, so the shopping trip wasn't *too* bad.

If you have any suggestions on good places to buy reasonable, stylish, and comfy desk chairs, lemme know!
