Welcome to our little site in which we convince you to help us furnish our apartment. This site is about as bare as where we stay, and for a reason. Our apartment has very little furniture -- our beds, a couple of end tables and a dresser that we managed to get to IKEA for, a kitchen table that I am paying through the nose for (to the tune of $80 per month via a lease-to-own store, and have been doing so for a year and a month. Money down the drain, kids, but I've to see it through now -- too much invested otherwise), and mattresses with box springs still sitting on the floor.
It has been an interesting year of developments for myself and Steve. I've saved and pinched to get a vehicle to at least get myself around on -- a little red scooter that does about 30-35 miles per hour, returning three hours of my day to me (it takes nearly 4 hours of my day away from me to travel by bus, in comparison).
We're at a point where as long as it's just us, the apartment is okay. But, if we have guests, then it gets a little dicey, since all we have for seating is the chairs from my dining table, which aren't all that comfortable. At some point, we really would love to have a sofa or futon, or something for people to sit on in the living room, as well as little things that would make the place more like a home than just a hiding place for a couple of bachelors.
Therefore, this site's purpose is pretty simple: We're looking to defray costs on things around our home, whenever possible. We understand that not everyone has money to throw to strangers, but for those who can, we appreciate it very much and offer our heartfelt thanks.
Our thanks go to those who have already helped during Season 1:
