Emma and I spent all day looking for cheap furniture at various antique and thrift stores and came out empty handed. By 3:00 pm we were desperate to get SOMETHING checked off the list. And we weren’t looking for anything elaborate, just a couple of end tables, small dining table, and a cabinet or dresser to put her tv on. But the antique stores were way too expensive, and the thrift stores didn’t have much for furniture. We ended up back at Homegoods and Target, getting curtains and other smaller items, just to say we accomplished something. Then we went back to her place, made popcorn and other snacks to have with wine, and then relaxed for a bit.

We spent the rest of the evening hanging pictures and curtains. I’m thankful some things are coming together, and we had fun today regardless. Tomorrow we will be back at it.
