Living in a house with white walls and virtually little stuff is depressing. Thank goodness my roommate had some furniture, like chairs, tables, rugs and plants. That alone made the place look better.
My room needed help. I had an air mattress, clothes and random things. It was a sad room. Sad rooms don't help your mental state, so I knew I had to invest in some pieces to make it look better, a place that I didn't mind being in. I already changed so much about my life - my location, no job, no family, few friends...I didn't need more to depress me.
I've become a thrift store shopper, mostly because I needed my money to go farther and will this stuff be temporary?
