I will be the first to admit that when it comes to being patient, I am a total and utter failure. It's not that I'm not capable of being patient, it's just that I'd rather not. As a goal oriented person, nothing makes me happier than seeing results, and am accustomed to getting things down in a matter of days or weeks. Unfortunately, this has not been the case with furnishing and decorating my apartment.
It took almost a year to fully furnish my apartment (see previous blogs for assembling my desk and bookshelf), and am STILL searching for artwork to adorn the walls. Several headaches and numerous weekends filled with unsuccessful ventures to obscure stores and flea markets later, am delighted to report that my apartment is close to being finished. Needless to say it has been a bitter pill to swallow, but have learned that the rewards are much more gratifying if you wait for bargains and that special piece to jump out at you, instead of rushing to buy an assortment of artwork in one weekend which, although covers the wall, doesn't get your blood flowing.
Your home is a sanctuary. Make sure you treat it as one if you want to feel that way while living in it.
