Still sleeping at the old place. Two days past and I still didn't empty the apartment. IT's a lot of work.
I am finding some problems inside the unit. I don't feel safe stepping out the balcony. Why do I feel like it's not strong enough for two people.
I got my furniture, some from the Brick. I bought the bedroom set for $699 [dresser+bed+night table]. The dining table for $299. They are always on the flyer for that price. And I find the bedroom area a little tight. I am glad that I returned the chest cuz I figured out after I bought it that there is no room.
The living room has a corner vetrina [shelves for display], a sectional sofa, a tv to be on wall, and a 3pc dining table, but also when they were all put together, I find the room to be also tight.
It's not bad, but I now I have to cancel my plans to get more things [like a coffee table/tv stand for dvd, etc.], but there really is no room for more things.
I have to throw out half my clothes, cuz they don't fit in the closet. For now, they are still in my mother's closet [thank god for moms].
The den has a computer table and daybed. The daybed cracked a bit during the move. But it's in the back so it won't be noticed. Lots of scratches on the wall. We will need to re-paint. It wasn't the movers that assembled it, as they don't assemble everything.
I bought the daybed, the sectional sofa, the computer desk and the corner vetrina from one of those small company stores. I did pay for the delivery; however, the movers refused to drop my furniture towards the living room. It really sucked that most of my stuff were close to the door. I don't know if all small stores are like that. That really disappointed me. They gave me a hard time weeks ago, when I wanted to return the vetrina. They were going to give me a refund [minus $100]. I didn't want to lose that kind of money so I didn't return it. My point is, buying from a small company can be a pain.
It's really hard to picture what you want to buy for your home, and then you realize, you have to return something cuz it doesn't look good altogether, or it won't fit.
I hope my experience will help others in better planning their move when their time comes.
