Things I Need
There are some things I really need for the apartment. A list to keep myself organized (and to inspire potential housewarming gift givers!):
-Vaccuum or swiffer flick. The living room and one bedroom are carpeted and I really need something to keep those areas neat.
-A large bookshelf (5 shelves preferably)
-A dresser
-Something to hang framed photos without using screws or nails (my landlord doesn’t allow those)
-A real couch. The futon will serve the purpose for awhile… but I’d really like an actual couch.
-A nightstand (any smallish table will do).
-A small AC unit for my bedroom
-A fairly large folding table to use as a desk/craft table
-A frame for my bed. For right now just having it on the ground is fine, but eventually I would like to get it on a frame.
-More hangers
-A small lamp for my living room.
-Airtight containers (for cereal and stuff like that)
-A stand for my microwave (need more counter space, and this is the way to do it).
That’s all I can think of right now. It’ll be awhile before I can afford any of these things by myself, but it’s good to have the list.
Random sidenote: to anyone that was concerned by my having a password protected post? Please don’t be. Sometimes I like to have something I write that’s private… because 90% of what I write isn’t. I’m fine… just needed to vent last night.

If the Salvation Army doesn’t have any reasonable furniture, you might try Overstock.com.
They’re probably not as cheap as a thrift store and they don’t have much in the way of couches, but for the other things they’re much more reasonable than regular retail.
You could also check out IKEA if the Scandinavian/modern style is your thing.
Pretty good furniture, and inexpensive too in my opinion.
Good luck!!
