I used to live with my
parents. I think most of us did that once. It was awesome and secure and cost
me bupkis. Then I decided I wanted to be parent-free so I found my own pad. That
transition was brutal. I had to figure out how to earn money and feed myself
and speak different languages (my family spoke fluent Karen Carpenter, disco,
and K-mart which doesn’t translate sometimes in real life). The
biggest shock of my move was the cut I took to living space. Moving from
larger quarters to one step up from a box requires even the least creative among
us to pick up some tricks. Whether you’re in a humble this-half-of-the-room-is-mine
or in a spacious 600 square footer there are things you can do to find harmony
in your wigwam.

ReplyDeleteI've recently discovered the value of vertical space not only because my entire house is a whopping 950 sq ft, but also because it has been an invaluable safety solution since my son reached toddlerhood. (Both for our stuff and him.) Ikea has become my go-to.
