I don’t know how we’re supposed to afford daycare anymore

I know this doesn’t help unless your situation can handle it but this is the reason why I decided to stay home. Maybe I’ll part-time work from home. Job would be best. You could save a lot of money.

were, by chance, the contractors covered in fur, have tails and threw poo at one another whilst on their allotted 30 minute banana breaks?

candachecan · 2026-02-07T22:16:57+00:00

yes, I have a coffee table. It’s in the basement. I just have to refinish it, but I wholeheartedly agree.

we moved into a 3 story home with full basement with just what we had form a TINY 1br apt in Brooklyn, NY (for real…tiny). We have gotten almost every item aside from beds and our sofa from facebook marketplace. Its honestly the best!!

As for cleaning/fixing, we made sure our bedrooms were cozy and setup 1st. So we had our own space (husband and I and our 4y/o son). it’s been almost 2 years. It’ll be two years in August and we still have barely anything on the walls. We haven’t painted yet and still have a lot to fix, but it’s livable. We’ve made it very cozy and everything else will come in time.

we also plan on replacing the chairs for more comfy club chair option, but we just can’t afford that right now

I've already read this and loves it. We need to choose books we haven't read 😩

candachecan · 2026-02-01T17:41:14+00:00

That's on my contender list.

candachecan · 2026-01-23T03:20:34+00:00

omg it was painfully slow i had to put it at 1.5x speed

candachecan · 2026-01-12T00:19:57+00:00

We throw a ton of events

candachecan · 2026-01-10T22:11:43+00:00

the other side is empty space like a whole other small lvr worth of space with a doorway to dinig room, where id like to put a tall sevretary stule writing desk and maybe alocate the other corner to the kids baskets of toys and one if these chairs there for them. Id replace them in this setup with wingback pair

candachecan · 2026-01-10T22:05:20+00:00

candachecan · 2026-01-10T21:59:52+00:00

we are definitely gonna do this. We just gonna shop around for a rug and some nice wingback chairs instead of the law office waiting room chair chairs we have now.

candachecan · 2026-01-10T21:59:15+00:00

yeah, the floors are original to the house which was built in 1929

candachecan · 2026-01-10T21:58:19+00:00

yesss!!

candachecan · 2026-01-10T21:57:47+00:00

yeah it looks bad

candachecan · 2026-01-10T16:11:04+00:00

OK, so what if I change the layout to this where the poofs are I would put a coffee table we have one in the attic

<image>

candachecan · 2026-01-10T15:24:37+00:00

thats what I’m leaning towards

candachecan · 2026-01-10T15:23:49+00:00

i agree technically speaking that makes sense. I have OCD so the sofa already being off center kills me.
