refurnishing
my current thinking is to ditch some of my current furniture when moving (or more precisely, donate it to a thrift store or something like that). a breakdown:
- office chair: i’m thinking of getting an aeron or mirra.
- couch: i need a good, solid, comfy couch.
- loveseat: i might replace this with some sort of recliner.
- kitchen table and chairs: a keeper. maybe i’ll even start using it.
- bed: a keeper (although i need new bedding).
- desk: a keeper.
- entertainment unit: a keeper, although i may stain it.
- coffee table and end table: undecided. i may move it and toss it if i find something better.
- chest of drawers: also undecided, but probably not a keeper.
- filing cabinets: keepers.
there’s a bunch of other stuff i plan to get rid of, too: books, old clothes, some kitchen stuff, old computer junk, etc. there’s some things i’ll end up moving that i should really unload, but don’t have time to deal with unloading right now.
of course, this all hinges on having someplace to move into. i’m close to having that solved.
a slight tangent. there appears to be two groups of people in the world: those that put their couch and television in close proximity (often in some sort of alcove), and those who put the couch and television on opposite walls.
