Phase 1: Moving in the basics - couch, bed, toilet paper. You know, things that you would expect to have in a barebones place and not feel like you were squatting in a spare lot.
Phase 2: Making things more liveable. Desk, coffee table, all kitchen items, dining set.
Phase 3: Nesting. Adding a personal touch through art, the way things are arranged. Feng shui and all that jazz.
Phase 4: Nothing left.
I'd say I'm sort in a grey zone between phase 2 and 3. I've got some decor going, but am still waiting for my dining table to come in. I'd also like to put up some more framed items and add more storage space to make things more organized. Phase 4 will be complete once I decide to get a TV for the fall sports season.
Much to the chagrin of my family and friends, I'm omitting the majority of photos for now because I want to capture the transition into the place all at once in a series of photos. I will concede a couple for now.
Above is looking into my kitchen.
Here is what may seem like an unremarkable photo of a kitchen sink. What is not shown was some ugly plastic paneling that used to be behind the faucet and above the wood that served no purpose other than to hurt your eyes. I took it down, repainted the area, and put up a metallic bar that can serve a number of functions like hanging some tablecloths and a dishrack, and just plain looking fancy.
That's all for now! Check out the albums I have on repeat to the right! I'll update that area periodically
