Apartment Overhaul
For now, you have to simply stay put...you don't desire to stay in the apartment in your in perhaps, but times are tough, and you must. No matter how tough times may be, how you live is always within your control. A funny phenomenon occurs for many new home owners anyway, they end up with even more "stuff"/"possessions" as time moves on...just like apartment and condo dwellers. So perhaps these tough times overhauling your apartment space will further enhance your home owning experience when that time comes.
Let's say for the arguement sake, that your hypothetical apartment has two bedrooms, one bath, a small kitchen, and has four closets...there are two adults, and two children sharing this living space. Both adults are working very hard to keep the bills current for daily survival, and are not getting to thier savings goal for owning a home, while meagerly trying to save for the childrens education, also foregoing any retirement savings currently as there simply isn't enough income. Tough times...Clothes are stacked up in corners, closets packed...doom, gloom, and misery.
A huge component to any living space, is the occupant's schedule. A few fundemental questions to yourself concerning your schedule versus the needs of your living space should be raised...are you watching more than 10 hours of television per week? Is one day set aside every week for household chores? The occupant's schedule determines a lot of any living space. The occupant's use of their schedule defines an aweful lot of a living space.
With the doom, gloom, and misery presented with the hypothetical apartment, let's start in on tackling a project! well, begin the blog discussions about projects...*CAUTION* Every reality show, home rennovation show, Martha Stewart, etc...they all paint a fantasy of what you could be doing, or perhaps wish to be doing...even this very website can do a bit of the same, so please use *CAUTION*.
What room should go first?
