There wasn't a lot in the way of mishaps and misadventures once I got moved in. I sold my old furniture and got some that fit this space and now it seems exactly right.
With all the built in cabinets, there is a place for everything and my battle has really been about getting rid of even more furniture. The more stuff I take out, the better it looks.
The other battle I've been having is the color scheme, which I have not gotten quite right just yet. All my previously black furniture needs to be painted white, which is not as simple a task as I'd imagined.
I've tried a few different techniques and not quite got it right to my satisfaction yet. I may have to buy new stuff one day, but I'm still trying to paint what I've already got. I think I'll get another weekend of warm temperatures to try again tomorrow, but soon it will be winter and I'm starting to come to grips with the reality that living with mis-matched furniture is not the worst thing that could happen.
Other than painting furniture white, there isn't a lot that still needs to be done and I've been spending my time living in my cute little house.
My kitchen is probably the most functional place I've ever tried to cook, because it is compact. Everything's right where you need it, and no mess is ever too big to clean up right now. I'm much neater in general living in a smaller space.
Turned out I fit just fine in here and it all feels just the right size.
