autographedcat has been here a few months longer than I have, the furniture was very minimal when I moved in. I brought very little myself, and no furniture at all, since I had reduced everything I owned to what would fit in a Mitsubishi Mirage and still leave comfortable room for two adults (one of them over 6 feet tall!) to drive from NH to GA.
We've slowly accumulated a few pictures, and some bits of furniture due to various friends - a computer table, a couch, bedside tables, a bureau - but thanks totelynor we've just acquired the last few bits to make this place feel furnished. We now have a larger bed (queen sized, wheeeee!), another dresser (with a pair of mirrors) and - A BIG BOOKCASE!
Yep, that's what was missing. It's an entertainment center style setup, so the TV is surrounded by and properly cowed by rows and piles of books, as it should be. We both have taken to breaking out in spontaneous grins and smirks whenever we happen to walk into the living room and see it. We've rearranged the books and stuff several times each, I think. I suppose this says a lot about us, but we agree that it seems to be what this place needed to make it feel settled and finished - a BIG BOOKCASE, now crammed with all the books that had no homes! I do hate moving, but nesting can be a subtle pleasure in itself.
