lookin' for a home.

What's going on, what's going on....

David and I have been on the search for a suitable living space for the past couple weeks. The "Find a cozy place to call home" mission is in full force right now. We want to find a space that is comfortable, some what roomy, so that all three of us have enough room to get away from each other when need be (hehe), I am kidding (somewhat). Anyway, both of us are picky, and I am embarrassed to say that we totally did the park, look around, and drive away without even getting out of the car to a couple of the places we had decided to visit. So the search continues.


We all want different things in a home. Like some people want a good size kitchen because they love to cook, some want a roomy living room to put their trusty/cozy recliner to relax and watch their football games, but me....I want a closet.

Not just any closet, but a closet that is roomy and perfectly designed to display my shoes/accessories in plain sight so I don't forget about them when planning my outfits. It may sound a little crazed and obsessive, but planning out my outfits for the week is an extremely therapeutic process for me every week and having everything organized, in view...makes the process that much sweeter. So, yes, I've been literally walking into the places we have gone to see...and right into the bedroom to check out the closet (which I graciously make known will be ALL mine). I guess my expectations could be worse right? A closet isn't so bad.

David wants....well....his expectations are like this...."I need a bed, a couch, a tv, and Romey has to be comfy too," basically. He's a guy. He wants a home for him and his dog...and me, obviously. 

Our quest will be ongoing until we both are happy. Until I have my closet, David has his comfy living space for him and Rome, within reasonable distance from work for us, and lots of things to do. Who knew this could be so difficult?

  2. My boyfriend and I had the same struggle. We were both living with roommates and wanted to find a place together. I was SO eager to live with him, that almost anything looked better than where I was! I had to be fair to his needs & he had to respect mine (big kitchen, walk in closet). We found this amazing 2 bedroom apartment that was cheaper than what we had been paying for rent + has TWO walk in closets in the master bedroom (I died!) It took FOREVER to find it, but I'm SO happy there! Hang tight! You'll find something awesome soon!

  3. I wanted a massive walk in closet as well, and Chris wanted a back yard... and we we're looking in center city. So I pretty much assumed we would be homeless. We actually found a place with a pretty big backyard for the city, and not one, but two walk in closets (I claimed them both, obvi.). If it's not too far from work you should look in Northern Liberties, that's where we live and it's perfect. Especially for dog owners looking for closet space.

    1. Thanks for the info! I'm going to look into it. We are pretty much open in terms of the area we want to move as long as it's not too much of a hike from work. So we shall see! Thanks : )
