Design Idea 102
When you go from an apartment to a house, eventually you will need to double your current possessions just to fill the empty rooms. Here is what I have learned from just having completed this. Do not buy high-end things that do not need to comfortable. Tables, dressers, CD racks, etc. Go to IKEA. It is very hard for an undiscriminating eye to tell the difference between a 20 lb. wood finished, plastic bookshelf for $40 and a 300 lb. cherry oak bookshelf for $400. Cheaper, lighter, easy decision. But, do not transition this IKEA/WalMart lifestyle to sheets, blankets, towels, etc. If you have extra money, spend it on stuff that touches your skin.
