It’s been a little over two months since I moved into the city. The apartment is nearly fully decorated and we’ve settled into a nice groove in our new neighborhood. I’ll have a full apartment tour coming soon, and wanted to share some of the lessons learned so far.
Prioritize window dressings
Start with the bare minimum and build from there
My mother and I purchased some basics, like a pot, pan, and a few utensils, and I’ve been getting more of what we need from there. Better to start out with less and avoid overbuying.
Bring lots of cleaning supplies
Buy the less expensive mattress
They say you should invest in things that keep you off the ground; shoes, tires, beds. I agonized over choosing a mattress and nearly spent double because I thought it might make a difference. Luckily I went with the $500 option instead of the $1,000 from Mattress Firm and absolutely love it. Make sure you’re still getting quality, but you don’t need to buy into all of the “technical” speak about it. If it feels good when you lie down on it, just get that one.
