We've been in our flat for about a year now, but we still don't feel completely at home here. Our old Plymouth flat was an unfurnished rental, and all of the furniture was our own. Working from a blank canvass and slowly building our furniture collection over two years really made the place feel like a home. But, our Norwich rental is part furnished. We were really hoping for an unfurnished property, but at the time this was the only place we could find. This resulted in us storing a ton of our furniture in my folks garage.
We managed to squeeze in some of our key pieces, but the place is still dominated by the landlords furniture. For this reason, I'm still trying to carve out small spaces in order to inject some of our style and personality into the place. On our bedroom window shelf I've created a little collection of handmade and store bought pieces. These little knick knacks make me smile and look forward to a time when we own a place and can decorate and furnish it in our very own way.
