Moving into my own place has been expensive. I try to save a buck or two here and there when I can. I didn’t purchase cable tv until football season, budgeted my grocery shopping, almost completely stopped eating out and drinking, I even resorted to reupholstering. 

I spent an hour or two here and there all summer bringing this mid-century modern beauty back. I knew I could do it, but I never imagined it would turn out this well.
